"I also think it's very reasonable."

The owner of the horse, Bo, has also seen the tax items of the imperial court. Qishan really wants to pay taxes according to the imperial court's rules, and the taxes will be no less than those of bandits.

The county magistrate collects 60% of the tax on grain, and exempts other taxes. With 40% of the grain, there is enough to feed the family, and life is much better.

"The horse owner Bo confirmed that there is no problem. From now on, Qishan will collect taxes according to this, and there is no need to pay other miscellaneous taxes. If the court holds accountable, I will bear the responsibility."

The population registration and tax collection will be left to you two. Notices will be sent to all townships, towns and villages, and every citizen must know."

Qingyun said the last sentence while looking at Du Chun'an. She took risks with her life and did good deeds. She must let the people know, otherwise she did not do it in vain.

"I understand the humble position!" Du Chun'an said.

After getting off duty at noon, Du Chun'an came to see Qingyun again. He heard in the village that Mad Wolf and the others mentioned that Huang Kun, Hei Ba and the others were out recruiting soldiers.

"Is something wrong?" Qingyun glanced at Du Chun'an, who was sitting silently.

"Sir, there is something I don't understand about my humble position, so I came here to ask for your advice." Du Chun'an said after thinking about it, he felt uneasy if he didn't ask clearly.

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Qingyun clicked his tongue with sour teeth. Chun'an was good at everything, but he spoke too politely. He was confused in his heart. He had something to ask her. Chun'an was eight Dou taller than her.

Very knowledgeable.

"I heard about it in Shanzhai. Heiba ​​and the others went out to recruit troops. The bandits in Qishan have been wiped out. Why do you still need to recruit troops?"

Qingyun never thought of hiding it from him. They were all on the same boat. Originally, Qingyun planned to discuss the army with him, so he organized a conversation and said:

"Since you've heard about recruiting troops, you should also have heard about the fact that we also killed a group of border officers during this bandit suppression campaign."

Du Chun'an nodded. This was what he was worried about. How could he know that the county magistrate was so courageous that he would even dare to kill soldiers at the border. I wonder what's going on over there at the border?

"The bandits have been exterminated, but the matter is not over yet. Qishan is a vast area with few people. In the past, the four bandit villages were able to control Qishan through the name of the Eighteen Villages. Come and see," Qingyun drew Qishan in her spare time.

Mountain map, spread on the table.

"The four cottages just divide the mountain into four parts. Each cottage controls a piece of land and has about 1,400 to 500 people in each cottage. The yamen's fast-moving yamen servants, plus the people from Heiba ​​Heshui and Huangkun, also

No village has many people. How can we hold such a large territory?

Believe it or not, as soon as the news spreads that the Qishan bandits have been wiped out, a large number of bandits from outside will come in and snatch the ownerless meat from Qishan. Do you think those people will be afraid of me, the county magistrate, rather than me?

Come to Qishan?”

Won't!

Du Chun'an shook his head, who would be afraid of a county magistrate without soldiers?

Just like before, if you think the county magistrate is an eyesore, you can just kill him. If he is a bandit, he will definitely occupy the top of the hill before others can react.

"I don't want Qishan, which I fought so hard to capture, to be given away. That's why I want to recruit troops to defend Qishan. Otherwise, the tragedy of Qishan will continue to happen.

After killing so many border officers and soldiers, cutting off their financial path, and leaving no food to feed the troops at the border, do you think the old man named Qian will let us go? With just a few hundred of us, can we stop the army at the border? For the above reasons

I didn't recruit troops until two o'clock, just in case.

No one has long-term worries, and I have taken the worst results into consideration. If that day comes, there is no need to panic."

Du Chun'an: "..." What he said made sense, but he was speechless.

wrong!

Du Chun'an shook his head, he was almost led into a ditch by the county magistrate.

"My lord, I don't know. According to the system of our Dayong Dynasty, only second-grade officials and relatives of the emperor are eligible to have private soldiers. Different levels have different numbers of private soldiers. Sir, you are a seventh-grade county magistrate.

You cannot have anything private, otherwise, once someone discovers it, the nine tribes will be implicated."

Du Chun'an used the words "Qipin County Magistrate" to remind him in a strong tone not to be willful or impulsive, as the consequences would be serious.

"Who said that the soldiers and horses I recruited are my private soldiers?" Qingyun grinned, with a gangster smile on his face, "Who doesn't know that bandits in Qishan dominate the world!"

Du Chun'an's eyes widened in disbelief, "My lord, what you want to do is to recruit people as bandits..."

The county magistrate is really brave! The word "bold" is not enough to describe him.

"Sir, how could you..." Du Chun'an really didn't know what to say. As a court official, how could he support bandits? There was no bottom line.

Having said that, what is the difference between raising bandits and raising private soldiers? The county magistrate just changed the concept secretly. Those people are not his soldiers yet.

Du Chun'an glanced at the county magistrate. It seemed that the county magistrate had made a decision a long time ago. It is estimated that Mad Wolf Black Bear and the others would inevitably make noises. If the county magistrate came back to recruit troops, they would not have to go back to the county government to guard the city gate.

Du Chun'an hated him so much that those few were nothing, and while he was away, they were coaxing the county magistrate all day long to do all the treasonous things that would destroy the nine tribes.

Even if he has a delicate heart, he can't stand the mad wolf and spend the whole day together, whispering in the ears of the county magistrate every day!

"Things have already happened. There is no point in thinking about them anymore. Now we can only do our best to reduce the damage!

Chun'an, you know me. I am most afraid of trouble. At first I just wanted to suppress the bandits and do a little bit of responsibility to make the lives of the people in the whole mountain a little easier.

Who would have thought that the roads here are so complicated, with bandits and foreign enemies sneaking in, and now even the soldiers at the border are getting involved. I was forced by them. There are so many places at the border, you say it is not good for them to go there.

We have to keep pushing up the mountain."

Qingyun still feels wronged! Where can she go to reason with him?

Du Chun'an glanced at the county magistrate who was still aggrieved, rolled his eyes, and stopped talking because he couldn't explain his lies.

"Raising an army is not that easy!" Du Chun'an had a headache. He followed a crazy county magistrate and his head was at risk at any time. Is it too late for him to regret it?

"It looks like a lot of food has been seized during this round of bandit suppression. If we want to support an army, that food is far from enough. To support an army, we need more than just food. Where will the military pay, uniforms, armor, weapons, etc. come from? Generals must be proficient in the art of war.

, line up the troops..."

It's not just words.

Qingyun smiled.

"These are nothing," Qingyun raised his arm and put it on his shoulders. The two brothers said kindly: "This time I suppressed bandits, I picked up a treasure. There is a man named Huang Kun. He used to work in the border army and train soldiers.

, arranging troops is not a problem. This time he was the commander of the bandit suppression, and he did a great job."
