"I wonder what the Lord asked me to prepare?" The young man in charge took Sun Yu's words to heart, and seeing that the situation was not good, his momentum suddenly weakened.

"Be prepared to pay taxes, or wait for me to attack you." Sun Yu was a little funny. Could it be that he was preparing to treat you to dinner.

"Sir, we are all good citizens and have not committed any crime. Why are you attacking us with no name?" The young man asked himself that this man had just arrived in Jianzhou. He still had to rely on himself and others and did not dare to kill easily.

"Oh, are you planning to violently resist taxes, or are you a good citizen? How are your thoughts different from those of rebels? I am a pastor on behalf of the country's leader, so I cannot tolerate such behavior." Sun Yu smiled brightly, you are also called a good citizen?

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. We really can't pay it forward. The people in the village don't have enough to eat, so where will the money and food come from?" This name of rebellion must not be forgotten, and the young man is not stupid.

"Don't make any noise. I know your thoughts clearly. Besides, I have witnesses. It's easy to convict you. It's quite tolerant to let you go back and prepare. Don't force me, you know?" Sun Yupo said

Because I hate this young man, I feel that my murderous intention is getting stronger.

"If all villages are treated equally, even if we eat bran-thick vegetables, we have to pay all the taxes. How do you like this, sir?" The young man became more and more arrogant. Among all the villages, theirs was the richest.

The village leaders who returned to Sun Yu's side had bitter expressions on their faces. If so, I'm afraid they would be the first to be unable to withstand it.

"I have paid their taxes for them. As for yours, do you have to pay them in full within seven days?" Sun Yu originally planned to waive all taxes this year and provide some food to each village, and we will do it next year. But this young man is too

Too arrogant, but a small village leader who provokes himself again and again.

"Your Majesty, it is unreasonable to act like this..." When the young man heard that you were only going out with your left hand and going in with your right hand, but you and others had to spend real money and food, he was immediately unhappy.

"You want to resist the tax?" Sun Yuma pointed out, since he couldn't suppress it, he might as well release it.

"My Lord is acting like this. Even if the common people don't say anything, the villagers in the village will not agree..." The young man shook his head. He couldn't bear this crime by himself, so he pulled everyone in the village with him.

"Driving" Sun Yu clamped the horse's belly, and the fire leaped into the sky. The distance that was already very close was reached in an instant.

The young man who was about to talk eloquently saw Sun Yu approaching on horseback. He knew something was wrong and quickly drew his sword and prepared to fight.

"Dang" Sun Yu knocked the sword in his hand, swung the sword away from the young man's hand, plunged it into the young man's chest, and then lifted him up and dropped him.

"Do you also want to rebel?" Sun Yu held up the bloody horse and pointed it at the three village leaders who had drawn their weapons.

"I dare not, my lord, spare your life!" The three of them looked at each other, threw their weapons on the ground, knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Qi Wei listens to the order, and each village is temporarily under your command. It is not a pity for this person to die, so he ordered his village to re-elect its leader. Each village should seize the time to sow food without making mistakes. In addition: considering the lack of food in each village, during the free time,

When building water conservancy projects, each village will contribute its efforts, and the official will provide grain." This grain must not be given directly to each village, as that will only create inertia. It is more appropriate to use work instead of relief. If the water conservancy is built well, the grain harvest will be better.

.

"Thank you, sir!" Upon hearing this, the owners of each village were greatly relieved. They did not mention taxes at all, but even contributed money and grain to build water conservancy projects. This is a great thing.

"Oh, there is one more thing. From now on, under our rule in Jianzhou, taxes will only be levied on the basis of acres. No tax will be levied on each household's fields below three acres. From 3 to 10 acres, the tax will be 10%, from 10 to 30 acres, 10%.

From 10 to 50 acres, the harvest will be 20%, from 50 to 100 acres, 30%, and over 100 acres, 40%. New wasteland will be tax-free for three years.

If you marry a wife every year, you can set up an independent household. Considering the difficulties this year in each village, there is no tax exemption this year." Since ancient times, land annexation has been a headache. Sun Yu thought about it for a long time and felt that the stepped tax collection in the memory of future generations is the most appropriate. You

If you don't like to buy land, then you can buy it. I'll just collect the taxes, as long as you can afford it. And increasing income per household can prevent the family from getting bigger. If you arrange it like this, I'm afraid that the family will have to be divided as soon as the man comes of age.

Yes, otherwise you will have to pay more tax.

The owners of each village are actually a little resistant. After all, they are all big landowners, but when they think of the tax exemption this year and the lessons learned from the young people on the ground, they dare not refute.

Xu Yi, the "great talent of the young master", was behind, twirling his beard lightly. The young master's move was so cruel that he basically cut off the roots of those big families. The 40% tax, tsk tsk, there is no point in acquiring so much land. After paying it, there will be nothing left.

A few. But for those small households, the absolute good news is that they pay much less tax than before.

In fact, Sun Yu has been thinking about taxes recently. Logically speaking, it would be easiest for him to collect taxes from Jiangning Mansion, but the disadvantages are also great. In the end, various land annexations will result in the court receiving less and less taxes. Since the court gave up

He collects taxes to raise his own soldiers, so he can follow his own ideas. This method of stepped taxation is absolutely unworkable in Jiangning. The nobles can eat up all his bones and dregs, but this is different in Jianzhou.

It was originally remote, but for several years it had been unstable, and most of the big families had fled.

In fact, Sun Yu still has a big move behind him, but he has to wait until all Jianzhou is captured before he can execute it.

"From now on, Longmen Village will be temporarily used as our army's camp. This is our military advisor, Mr. Xu, the leader of Qi Village. You can make some arrangements." Sun Yu didn't want to rush in rashly to fight for the other two forces. He had to settle the rear area first.

That's all. Although the battalions have just experienced a battle, they are still far from being elite. They need to practice more. Once Cheng Zhenbei's side has settled down, it will be the opportunity to send troops.

When the supply camps came in one after another, the owners of each village were very happy. This governor was really capable, and they all had good food.

"Sir, how come there are so many pigs here?" Qi Wei looked at the live big pigs and couldn't figure it out. There were pigs in the fight, and he was really angry.

"It's all ready for me. I'll pick a hundred of the strongest sows and ten boars, and keep them for breeding, and all the others will be gelded. Raise them for a while, and then feed them to me.

But it's rations for the army." Sun Yu was quite excited. The pig-raising business has finally started. If the pigs are raised well, the army's combat effectiveness will be doubled. In the cold weapon era, vegetarians can't do better than meat-eaters.

"Don't worry, sir. I'm going to call all the pig farmers from each village and get them settled. It's just that I've never heard of this gelding pig." This is the first time Qi Wei has heard about this job. I'm afraid everyone knows how to do it.

Do it.

"Practice makes perfect, tie him up and sew them up with a needle and thread. If he dies, he will give the soldiers extra food." Sun Yu has a headache, and I don't know how to do it. Let me figure it out on my own.

"In addition, we built a row of airtight rooms with two earthen kangs inside, which will be of great use." This was the drying room of later generations. By controlling the temperature well, eggs can be hatched into chicks.

Sun Yu is full of hope for the great cause of breeding. If everyone in the army can eat eggs and pork, the combat effectiveness will be amazing!

Qi Wei immediately took the order and took the village leaders to do things. There were too many things to do and they had to be done quickly. There must be no delay.

"Sir, I am ashamed of myself!" After everyone had finished leaving, Yang Qifeng stepped forward and saluted.

"There's no need for this, people's hearts are unpredictable! Besides, isn't this settled? What are your future plans as a couple?" Sun Yu thought they did a good job. After all, Feng Xuejian and his wife traveled around the world.

Most of them are straightforward, so it's no wonder they are doing this.

"I plan to return to the mountains and forests with my husband and raise the child!" Ye Luoxue was also a little discouraged. She originally thought it was a good thing, but in the end it turned out to be such a mess. When you are alive, you always want to do something, but you really have to

Doing something is difficult every step of the way.

"I have a plan to set up a special battalion to be responsible for intelligence and infiltration. I think your couple is very suitable. You two invited me to come here, but you gave up and quit, which is unworthy of a hero!"

My subordinates are all outsiders, and they have to look at a map when walking out of the village. Besides, there are so many mountains here that it’s difficult to distinguish them, so they might end up walking in circles in the mountains, which would be a waste of time.

"This..." Yang Qifeng thought for a while, this is a good job. His subordinates are all people in the world, and they can't stand restraint in the army. But doing some errands and inquiring about information is a familiar job.

, even if it involves some assassination or the like, it can be easily captured.

"Stop doing this and that, it's settled. I will allocate some money and food to you later, and you can make arrangements for yourself. I only have one request, that I must understand the situation in Jianzhou from bottom to top." This special person

In the future, he would go everywhere to get information, which would definitely cost a lot, and the treatment could not be compared to that of soldiers, so Sun Yu directly delegated power.

"This is a humble position, thank you sir!" Feng Xuejian and his wife leaned down to accept the order. Although we are all together for the sake of righteousness, we also have to support our families. With this arrangement, my husband and I have found a good way out for our brothers.

.

We were busy until dark, and the entire camp was finally arranged.

"Sir, our supply camp still doesn't have enough manpower." Sun Sandao said while grabbing food. Other battalions began to think about adding more manpower. He still had the same prisoners as before, and there would definitely not be enough in the future.

"All are suspended. The guards of each village must return to each village. Farming is the most important thing for the people." Sun Yu grabbed the steamed bun and took a bite. With his current strength, self-protection is not a problem. He must hurry up and implement farming.

"Sir, these guys are eating so well every day, why not take them to open up wasteland." Zhang Daqiu suggested as he looked at the soldiers eating Haisai in big bowls. This is a hilly area, and the uncultivated wasteland is actually

There are quite a lot of them, but opening up wasteland is too labor-intensive, and most of them are in places far away from water sources.

"It's not urgent. We can build some canals. As long as we are close to the water, let's not talk about it, there will be people rushing to open up wasteland. Besides, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. If you don't do anything, your efforts will be in vain."

The land that has been opened now will not produce much harvest this year, so it is better to dig some canals. This place is close to the Minjiang River and has many streams. If planned properly, it can get twice the result with half the effort.

"We don't have enough armor, how can we have extra iron materials?" Nowadays, the law enforcement team still wears civilian clothes, so the iron materials are very tight, but the craftsmen have brought a lot, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

"Sandao, go and call Yang Qifeng. I have something to ask him." Sun Yu thought about it and realized that this is the reason. Pig iron has always been strictly controlled, and it is difficult to get large quantities of goods. Besides, he doesn't have that much money to buy it.

.

Yang Qifeng is very happy today, and so are a large number of his brothers, who are eating enthusiastically with bowls in hand.

"Brother Yang, brothers, it's time to follow you!" A man gave a thumbs up while eating. Good days are coming.

"Sir, benevolence and righteousness, from now on our brothers must do their jobs well." Yang Qifeng wiped the rice grains from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

"Tietou, you have to change your title. From now on, you have to call me Commander Yang!" Another man said. From now on, he will be a regular soldier. He has to change his title like "big brother".

"Ah, yes, Commander Yang."
