Han Wangan himself knows what the future of South Korea will be like.
Although South Korea is now a country of vassals, the prefecture and county system currently implemented by the Qin State will not allow it to be a country within a country in the future. The Wei State is like that now. Although it still has the status of Wei Yuanjun, in fact it is not even
He is not as good as any Qin governor.
Such a way to survive is definitely not what South Korea wants.
But it is even more impossible to fight against the Qin State. The Qin State now has 400,000 troops in the Lantian Camp and 200,000 troops in the Pass Outside Camp. It is rumored that the Jiuyuan Camp has recruited another 100,000 troops. If the whole country uses the strength of the country, I am afraid that
In an instant, there were millions of troops.
Today, there are probably not even 500,000 people left in South Korea.
Seeing that his family and country were in danger, and his beloved daughter still had no home to return to, the King of Han could not bear it.
"Father, why are you mentioning this matter again?"
"Now South Korea is in crisis. As a child, if you can't tide over the difficulties with your father, how can you feel at ease if Honglian leaves your father at this time."
When this matter was mentioned, Honglian's expression moved slightly, and then returned to its original state. Regarding this matter, Ninth Brother had not yet left Korea, and his father had also said it, but at that time he already had someone in his heart.
With Ninth Brother's protection, it doesn't matter. Now I don't know where that person is now. Has he...really forgotten me? I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I feel even more distressed when I see my father's aging appearance.
"Among the many children of the widow, only you, Honglian, are the most considerate."
"That's it, when the crisis in Korea is over, I will definitely find a good marriage for you."
King Han's heart felt warm. Compared to other young masters, his preference for Honglian was not in vain. At this juncture, only Honglian was so dependent on him.
"Your Majesty, the prince wishes to see you."
Just as Han Wangan and Honglian were reciting the joy of father and daughter's family relationship, a palace attendant walked quickly outside the garden, walked in front of Han Wangan, and spoke softly.
"Prince?"
"Call him in."
Han Wangan sighed softly. He wanted to be quiet today, but he didn't expect someone to disturb him. After thinking about it, he nodded to Honglian, and the person bowed and left.
The state affairs that came in were no longer serious.
"My son has met my father."
When Prince Han Yu entered, he was walking like a dragon and a tiger, and he was very majestic. Although South Korea's national affairs are weak now, there is no such sign of decline in Prince Han Yu. He came forward and bowed.
"What's the important thing to see me?"
Han Wangan looked slightly unhappy.
"Father, we just received a document from a branch of the Yiyang royal family. They have returned to the Nanyang fiefdom. The land of Yiyang will be handed over to the government, and all the residents will be registered."
Han Yu bowed his hands and said with a calm expression what he had told him. Since this year, many ministers from aristocratic families have fled to Nanyang, taking away a large number of people and property, making it even more difficult to support South Korea's already weak national strength.
"I know, you can just watch and deal with this matter."
It is not a big deal for the ministers of the family and the royal family to go to Nanyang. Doesn't the prince even understand such a thing? South Korea has no power to stop them now, so what can be done about it.
"In addition, Xue Yi is uploading documents, and the speech army is short of food and salary. It requires fifty thousand taels of gold to maintain training for the next six months."
Han Yu nodded. Although there is nothing that can be done now about the ministers leaving South Korea, the next matter will be no small matter. Since last year, although the national uniforms have been empty, there has never been a shortage of food and salary for the army.
However, the amount of food and salary that the Bloody Waiter demands is getting more and more, and his intentions are unpredictable. This is his plan to enter the palace today.
"Fifty thousand taels of gold?"
"Didn't he take away 60,000 taels of gold at the end of last summer?"
As soon as he said this, Han Wangan stood up directly from the stone chair, with an angry look on his face, and looked at Han Yu displeased.
In the past, I was worried about foreign troubles and internal worries, especially when Hou Bai Yifei, who has become bigger in blood in recent years, holds the only heavy military force in South Korea and wields great power in the military.
His subordinates have financial resources like the Jade Tiger. He is not aware of the current situation of the royal family, but at this time, they still need to come to ask for a large amount of food and salary. If it was five years ago, when the national treasury was still strong, it would not be a problem.
But now, it is too difficult to come up with fifty thousand taels of gold from the national treasury.
"Xueyihou's words are due to the fact that the ministers of the family came in and left, the people came out in chaos, and many soldiers in the army were dispatched. Therefore, the consumption was huge, and large amounts of money and food were needed to make up for it."
"When I came here, my son had already asked the great Situ. There is a shortage of money and food in the treasury, so why did I come to inquire about my father's plan?"
Mentioning the blood-clothed warrior, Han Yu's face also showed an unconscious coldness. This person had ulterior motives and was gradually getting bigger. When he and his ninth brother teamed up to defeat him before, he should have been left completely unable to stand up.
Now, the ninth brother has left South Korea, and his father has once again supported Bai Yifei in order to maintain the new dynasty. As a result, the current situation has reached this point. Although the matter has come to this, Bai Yifei has to solve it no matter what.
"The matter of money and food has always been in charge of the Great Situ. What can he do?"
Han Wangan raised his eyebrows. If he refuses the food and salary issue of Xue Yihou now, he is afraid that his actions will lead to greater chaos in Korea today. However, if he is given food and salary, he can only open up other financial resources.
Da Situ has been in charge of this position for more than ten years, so he should have some plans.
"Da Situ said that there are only two ways to solve the current problem of food and wages. One is to save money on the government and there may be some leftovers. The other is to establish new tax laws and collect new property."
"My son, I think it's okay."
Either opening up new financial avenues from the source, or tightening up all aspects of waste in the government can alleviate this problem, but if you want to get things done as soon as possible, you still have to take the first option.
Han Yu saluted again, and the loud voice fell.
"If you already have a good plan, how can you ask a few people?"
Han Wangan was a little angry again. Is the prince amusing himself?
"Father, calm down."
"In today's South Korea, in terms of money, most of them are ministers of aristocratic families, but recently they have left South Korea one after another, taking with them countless amounts of money."
"If we impose new taxes on them, I am afraid that the ministers will flee to Nanyang. If we do not recruit them, the people will be in danger and flee one after another. This involves the country's foundation. Therefore, I dare not make a decision."
Han Yu lowered his eyebrows. Of course there was a solution, but the impact of such strategies was something he didn't want to accept. Da Situ also knew it. He knew it, and his father should also know it.
In this way, either offending the noble ministers or forcing out the people at the bottom is not a good thing for today's South Korea.
"You can just discuss this matter with the Prime Minister and make a decision. There is no need to ask me for instructions."
"You go down first."
Han Wangan pondered for a moment, looked at the prince in front of him, took a deep breath, and decided on this matter.
In today's South Korea, the hearts of the noble ministers no longer exist, and the hearts of the people at the bottom no longer exist. No matter whether they will be offended or not, it is important to get through the matter at hand first. Bai Yifei cannot be chaotic now.
"Yes, I will retire."
Han Yu nodded and retreated.
Three days later, the King's City of Xinzheng issued a royal order. From now on, those who are in charge of all industries in the government will receive a May Day tax on the basis of the original tithe tax. The taxes that ministers of the family need to pay will also be doubled.
.
Under the king's order, the whole Xinzheng was in an uproar. Whether it was the royal family or the lower-level businessmen, they all complained. Those who could afford to leave, went directly to Nanyang with their belongings, while those who were unable to leave had to endure such taxes.
"What the Marquis expected was true. Han Yu and Kaifang adopted the strategy of increasing taxes to make up for the shortage of food and salary and the shortage of royal expenses."
"It's a pity that if this method is not implemented, the number of people in South Korea will become less and less."
On top of the general's mansion that originally belonged to Ji Wuye, the blood-clothed warrior wearing a bright red brocade robe stood quietly behind a red gauze curtain. His silver hair fell behind him, and his delicate brows revealed a hint of evil.
Not far behind him, there was a fat man covered in jewels, drinking wine and speaking in admiration.
"The people of South Korea are more and more aware that the loss is not due to my strength."
Xue Yihou smiled softly. Although his own strength had not changed, King Han and Han Yu's strength had been weakened. To a certain extent, his own strength was strengthening.
"Tiger, I have made great progress recently and need a better cauldron. You should hurry up."
Over the past few years, I have had ups and downs in Xinzheng. At first, I was suppressed by Ji Wuye's presence. Later, Han Fei appeared and joined forces with Han Yu, causing me heavy losses. If I hadn't been able to escape,
I am afraid that even King Han will not think of me.
Since God has given me this opportunity, I must seize it. Although there are ups and downs, my cultivation has broken through the innate limit and ranked among the gods. In such troubled times, I have stronger ability to protect myself.
"Please don't worry, Lord Marquis, there is another batch of good stuff on the way, just waiting for Lord Marquis to enjoy it."
"It's just that I don't understand something. With the Marquis weakening King Han's power like this, what if King Han really wants to ask Qin to intervene?"
The corner of the Jade Tiger's mouth flashed with a smile. It's not difficult to collect some good stuff. As long as you have enough financial resources, it's very simple.
However, the situation in South Korea has become more and more subtle. South Korea is now a vassal state of Qin. If the King of Han is willing, he can definitely invite Qin to send capable people to rule the military and administration.
At that time, facing the Qin State, the power of the Marquis was also extremely weak.
"Tiger, do you think it would be beneficial to Qin to become a vassal state, or would it be beneficial to Qin to turn Korea into a county?"
Xue Yihou turned his body slightly to one side, and an unconscious cold air spread all over his body. On his pale face, through the window covered by gauze, he looked at the entire Xinzheng. Today, Korea is over.
What I do is to extract my maximum benefits from Korea.
After finishing his words, he looked towards the Emerald Tiger.
"This..., does the Marquis want to repeat Ye Teng's actions?"
Jade Tiger was shocked. If he became a county of the Qin State, wouldn't it mean that the Marquis had no intention to take the current South Korea to heart, and everything he did was for the future.
If you want to establish a foothold in Zhuxia in the future, you will have no choice but to seek refuge with Qin.
The appropriate method was demonstrated by Ye Teng, the former general beside the Marquis.
