Chapter 419

Qu Zhou.

Yuan Tan's fiefdom.

It was the center of the Yellow Turban Rebellion when the famine broke out.

Today, the endless sandy land is bare.

In fact, apart from watermelons, there is really nothing good to grow in this sandy land.

The people of Quzhou, that is, the people of Yuan Tan, were beaming with joy.

People from other places who passed by sighed, and it was the first time they saw farmers who were happy without growing crops.

"One season's harvest is worth our 20 years of hard work."

"I really want to settle down in Quzhou."

"Aren't you a merchant? Come to be a farmer?"

"Hey, I'm running around all over the world, not as good as others who have been growing watermelons for several years."

"Comparing people to people, it's really maddening."

With the sale of watermelons, 20,000 Shence troops arrived in Quzhou one after another.

When the watermelons were sold out, Qu Zhou was surrounded by 20,000 magic tricks like an iron bucket.

They are protecting the property of the eldest son, the property of the common people, and the property of their family members.

In Quzhou County, hundreds of village chiefs gathered in the county government.

Zhao Yu's younger brother is Zhao Yun, so he has the highest status among the village chiefs.

Who is Zhao Yun? The commander of the Shence Mansion.

His older brother is just a village chief, and he seems to be quite happy.

If it's someone else, I'm afraid it's not enough for an ordinary high official, right?

This shows that the Zhao family has a clean sleeve, and the other village chiefs all admire it.

Now, they came here with money, ready to teach land rent and taxes.

One of the village chiefs took out a chicken leg and gnawed on it.

Immediately, many village chiefs despised him.

One person said: "Major Ma, what is your status now? Are you still pretending like this? Is it a big deal to eat a chicken leg now?"

"This..." Village Chief Ma was taken aback.

Zhao Yu said indifferently: "Cunchang Wang, your body is the Shu Brocade of Jin Ting Building?"

"Hehe, Village Chief Zhao has good eyesight. When Jin Ting Lou heard that I was a member of the Shence Army, he specially gave me a 20% discount, and it cost a hundred coins." Village Chief Wang was very unhappy.

Baiguan, these village chiefs, when their family dates back to Wenjing's rule, they have never made so much money together.

Village Chief Ma, who ate chicken legs, was stunned again, and suddenly realized that eating chicken legs used to make people envious, but now it doesn't work.

Immediately threw the chicken legs away, feeling too humiliated. Next time, at least the lobster with ginseng bird's nest will do.

Just three months ago, these people were so poor that they couldn't get rid of the pot, but now each of them has brocade silk, satin and jade pendants, and they are even richer than the upstarts.

Zhao Yu said to the other village chiefs: "There is too much money. I have never seen so much money in this life. The eldest son only charges us 40% of the land rent, which is 20% less than other landlords."

He added: "If we plant such a good fruit, even if we collect 90% of the tax, it will be ten times more income than other people's farming, right?"

The village chief nodded one by one, and the scene immediately became lively.

Some people say that after paying the tax, large-scale timber will be purchased immediately, and the villagers will no longer be able to live in thatched houses.

Someone proposed to buy cattle first, reclaim wasteland, and plant more watermelons next year.

Zhao Yu was silent in thought.

People can't help but ask.

Zhao Yu suddenly nodded his head heavily. It seemed that he had made an important decision. He motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said:

"I propose to pay 70% of the tax. This is the fruit tax, which is treated differently from the grain tax. In this way, our children, the gods in the army, will not be ashamed."

A group of village chiefs looked at each other in blank dismay, 70% of the tax would be tens of thousands less in the village.

Distressed, unhappy, unwilling.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu smiled coldly, and said disdainfully: "Forget it, you people who are open to money don't know who gave you a good life. The ideological consciousness is too low. I, Zhao Village, will pay 70% of the tax. .To add food, equipment, and horses for the gods, to expand the territory, to defend the prince, and to defend the homeland."

When a group of village chiefs see such a high profile, do they think they are despicable and shameless villains? They don't care about Shen Ce Erlang? They don't love the eldest son?

They don't know how to be grateful?

Looking at each other again,

Suddenly everyone was furious.

"Who is low-minded?"

"Who is low-minded?"

"My Wulipu is the same!"

"It's the same for me in Nianzitou Village!"

Without the eldest son, there would be no good life.

Are you still human if you have money and don't want to hand it over to the eldest son?

Immediately afterwards, all the village chiefs expressed their views.

The servants of the surrounding counties saw it, and there was a surge of enthusiasm in their hearts, and they also wanted to become magicians.

"No, we are the people of the eldest son's fiefdom, and we are the people who are clever!"

Ever since, the figure standing guard stood taller.

Don't look at just a group of old men expressing their opinions. At this moment, the Sensors ecosystem began to mature.

Surrounding Yuan Tan, a huge 'clan' formed.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Quzhou now, and millions of people in the future, are loyal to Yuan Tan and obey orders.

Zhao Yu said excitedly, "Okay, let's go back now and bring the difference."

"Okay!"

A group of village chiefs immediately took action.

when they go out. It happened that Yuan Tan arrived.

"Why do we have to leave?" Yuan Tan wondered.

"Young master!"

"Young master!"

Zhao Yu and the others were all excited, and bowed to each other.

"What, is it because you dislike the high tax rate? If so, we can still discuss it." Yuan Tan couldn't help but said when he saw each of them 'filled with righteous indignation'.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun walked over immediately, and said to Zhao Yu: "Brother, how can you do this? Look at what you are wearing, what you use at home, and what you eat, the average big family can't compare. A month ago, you still had nothing to cover your body and food, and that wasn’t enough? What’s the trouble with these people?”

Guo Jia and Xun You looked at each other, and suddenly felt that 40% tax was a bit much. Although it was less than the landlord, as a benevolent king, 30% tax should be charged.

Zhao Yu said seriously: "My lord, that's not the case. We want to go back and pay the tax. Forty percent tax is too little, and we have to pay seventy percent tax!"

"That's right, we pay 70%... 70%." The other village chiefs said one after another.

ah!

Guo Jia and Xun You's hats were tilted immediately, and they looked at each other in astonishment.

We must know that throughout the ages, no matter how much tax is collected, the people hate it. The people under the Eldest Prince's rule are good, and they even ask for tax increases, and so many taxes.

Elders, how can you be so domineering and sick?

Apparently, all of them were glowing red, and they were not sick.

Even rich people will become very willful, but such willfulness is rare in the ages.

Zhao Yu couldn't help saying to his brother: "Zilong, this is what I proposed. How about it? Is your awareness high? Did you embarrass yourself as a great commander?"

Zhao Yun gave a thumbs up secretly, this is an honor.

Zhao Yu couldn't help being proud.

"When the time comes, you will be too old to go to the battlefield, so come back, and we brothers will grow watermelons together."

"Okay." Zhao Yun smiled.

Yuan Tan's people are so simple, and his heart is warm, "Fellow folks, this can't be the case. If this is the case, how can I have the face to face my elders?"

Zhao Yu immediately said sternly: "My lord, you also said that we are the elders of Shence. You are Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and we are your elders of Jiangdong."

"If not, have you thought about our situation? Aren't we snobbish people who are greedy for money? How are we different from those beasts who don't know how to repay their kindness?"

"This..." Yuan Tan found himself speechless.

Guo Jia and the others looked at Yuan Tan with admiring eyes, and the figure in their hearts grew taller.

Zhao Yu said again: "My lord, there is too much money, the room is full of money. To tell you the truth, I am not afraid of shame. When I see those money, I, I am afraid."

"We are also afraid." Everyone said these words to the bottom of their hearts, and said involuntarily.

Yuan Tan wondered, if you don't have money, you are afraid of being poor, but if you have money, what are you afraid of?

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of being robbed." Everyone said in unison.

"..." Yuan Tan.

Immediately felt that this is a big problem.

Every man is innocent and conceives his crime.

In modern times, there are hundreds of millions in the family, all of which are stored in the bank, and there is almost no cash at home.

If it's at home, don't say a few hundred million, put a few million, petty theft, hooligans, robbers and robbers, they must be wandering around the house all day, right?

Yuan Tan said: "Well, this is a problem. I am going to open a bank. Everyone can deposit money in the bank and withdraw it at any time."

There are no money houses in the Three Kingdoms, and the rich families have private soldiers to protect them, and they have connections with the government, so they can send troops to protect them at any time.

If ordinary people have money, they can only keep it at home, and they must be worried.

Zhao Yu and the others were overjoyed, that's great, they are relieved to have the army to protect their money, this is another favor to them.

Grateful.

Zhao Yu and the others didn't care about Yuan Tan's agreement to collect more taxes, so they dispersed and took the money.

Guo Jia suddenly felt that the Eldest Young Master's thought-jumping ability exploded again, "This method is good, and it can be used temporarily when it is needed urgently."

Yuan Tan said: "We can also use these deposits to invest, make loans, and use money to make money."

Guo Jia and Xunyou's eyes widened. They didn't expect their eldest son to be such a shrewd businessman.

Yuan Tan said again: "If this bank is to be called the Shence Bank, it is currently only open to the interior of the Shence Mansion and the elders of the Shence."

He doesn't want to pay interest now, but he can try to move forward with lending and investing.

Wait until these ways of making money are on the right track, and then absorb more deposits for interest.

Ever since, that night, more than one million guan in huge sums of money went into Quzhou County, Shence's military treasury.

And the same night.

In Yecheng, in the western station.

After Zhang Rou's maid, Xiaoxia, entered the door, she immediately closed it tightly and put down all the windows.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Rou had just finished washing her hair, and was spreading her long hair down to her waist with her hands, drying it to sleep.

"Grandma, I found that there are many ghosts outside, as if someone is watching us."

Zhang Rou's heart skipped a beat.

To know that she is a woman, or a beautiful woman.

Such a woman needs many necessities of life, and it is impossible to be self-sufficient in the mountains.

So, every year, she would come to the city to buy what she needs for a year.

This time, by mistake, he came to Yecheng.

On the one hand, because Yecheng has become the capital of the country, it is understandable that people always want to visit the capital.

On the other hand, Zhang Rou wanted to see what Yuan Tan looked like. This was a deep thought in her heart, and she might not even know it herself.

In previous years, I didn't worry about being recognized.

But this year, when she fought Yuan Jun in Bingzhou, she also rushed forward to help her brother Zhang Yan.

Maybe this is someone who recognized her identity.
