Chapter 388: A country within a country, what style is it?
In the past, it was Wang Fu and Huang Quan who were busy in Yizhou, but now it is Huang Quan and Zhang Song, but Zhang Song is so happy that he is not tired of reviewing several baskets of books every day, just because he feels that his talents have finally been stretched. I just heard that Wang
I just complained that I had nothing to do and felt empty.
Thinking about how busy I am every day, how down-to-earth I am, and how distinguished I am, I can hold my head up even in Jingyi. The most important thing is that when those businessmen meet me, they are more respectful to me than when they meet Huang Quan, and I have more face.
Zhang Song couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Song, who was trying to remain serious, and said solemnly: "Yongnian, I have nothing else to say about the bank, except for one thing: you must not be corrupted. You and all the bank employees should have the highest salary in Jingyi and the whole world."
, and even family members are covered if they get sick.
If this is the case, the current phenomenon of misappropriating public funds and accepting bribes, including you Zhang Yongnian, including your Zhang Yongnian family and all your clan members, I will never tolerate any bank employee. I will kill you Zhang Song.
Not even blinking."
Zhang Song's face, which had never recovered, instantly became stern, as if he was sweating on his forehead.
Liu Zhang sighed and said: "Bank corruption, or lending to private businesses in violation of regulations, all happen for a reason. Who can face tens of millions or hundreds of millions all day long, which is far more than his salary, without temptation? But you remember,
This is not a reason to make a mistake, and I won’t care about it when the time comes, you know?”
"Yes, yes, Zhang Song will remember it." Zhang Song hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, you go out, oh. By the way." Liu Zhang suddenly remembered something and called Huang Quan, Wang Fu and Zhang Song back: "Listen, I will say that this order is very important. You must treat it as a big deal.
.”
Huang Quan, Wang Fu, and Zhang Song looked at each other and then at Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang said: "Our current development model in Jingyi is different from that in the north and Jiangdong, so the tax structure has changed a lot. Both the north and Jiangdong are based on
Agricultural taxation is the main tax, with merchants accounting for a small part.
We now earn much more money than food. In addition to taxes from private merchants, government workshops, merchants, and banks account for a large proportion.
Money can be exchanged for food. For example, you can go to the east of the Yangtze River to buy food in the north. You can also provide agricultural subsidies to farmers to increase their enthusiasm for planting. You can also exchange it for meat from foreign races. However, it is best not to let Cao Cao and Sun Quan fully understand this model.
The rebellion ended last year, and this year is the first year of income for workshops and banks. The amounts are huge. If these account books are released, Cao Cao and Sun Quan will be uneasy and will restrain the noble families below them from selling grain to us. Our plan to exchange money for grain will
Encountering obstacles will also increase Cao Cao and Sun Quan's fear of us.
So, you should know how to do it."
Huang Quan said: "Master, do you want to hide the income from workshops and banks? Do you only report income from ordinary commerce and agriculture?"
Liu Zhang nodded: "That's right, our tax status only publishes general business and agriculture, and also spreads news. The reason why we give food subsidies is because there are too many people engaged in business, which reduces the agricultural population, and our food stocks have been reduced.
end.
In this way, not only can Cao Cao and Sun Quan relax their vigilance and allow their rulers to continue to import grain to us, but we can also prevent Jing Yi from exporting grain in an open and honest manner.
In addition, after the harvests of banks and workshops come in, food subsidies can be increased appropriately. This will deepen Sun Quan and Cao Cao's impression of our lack of food and grass. It can also attract refugees from other states to enter Jingyi to engage in agriculture.
Our commercial taxes are mainly used for food subsidies and rewards to foreigners, and we cannot make ends meet."
"Yes." Huang Quan Wangfu Zhang Song accepted the order in unison. Liu Zhang waved his hand to let them go down. Zhang Song was a little unhappy. He was so capable and had so much income, but he couldn't make it public. Wouldn't it prevent his image as an official from being spread all over the world?
?
However, Zhang Song is also a great talent, and he still understands the principle of keeping a low profile and biding his time. Who dares to disobey Liu Zhang's orders?
After the three of them left, Liu Zhang asked Fa Zhengdao: "How will the situation in the north and Jiangdong be like after we come back?"
Fa Zhengdao: "The military report just came that Liu Bei succeeded in a surprise attack on Chang'an."
"What?" Liu Zhang sat up immediately. Huang Yue was startled. Liu Zhang said: "I didn't expect these big ears to be so powerful. In less than two months, they actually captured Chang'an."
Fa Zhengdao: "This is no surprise. Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong as his conspirators. These two people are known as the sleeping dragon and the phoenix. They can settle the world. They are both the best think tanks in the world. Zhao Guan and Zhang Chen are extraordinary brave. After joining forces with Ma this time, Liu Bei
Not only has the military strength been greatly increased, but a new tiger general has been added, and the momentum is overwhelming.
Liu Bei declared war on Han Sui. Han Sui suffered heavy losses in Hanzhong. He returned to Xiliang to reorganize his troops. Now he will not fight Liu Bei at all. Instead, Han Sui killed Ma Teng and was accused of injustice. Liu Bei was weak.
He was sympathized by many warlords for his resistance to the enemy, and many of Ma Teng's old men joined him. In addition, Liu Bei had always been hypocritical, and his prestige in Yongzhou was very high.
With such a large number of soldiers, brave generals and reputations, it would be easy to attack the fragmented Guanzhong and seize the empty-guarded Chang'an.
There is no doubt that Guanzhong has been captured by Liu Bei. It is only a matter of time. Next is the battle with Han Sui. Han Sui is powerful. Liu Bei has taken over Guanzhong, and Cao Cao is still restraining it. I am afraid this war will last for several years. We
Don’t worry for now.”
"I just hate that the big-eared thieves took advantage of every opportunity to rise. It's really hateful." Liu Zhang said angrily.
Fazheng smiled and said: "Return to hatred, even if Liu Bei unified Yongliang, we have one hundred thousand Xiqiang cavalry, soldiers and horses trained by General Zhang Ren day and night, and Jingyi's army of more than three hundred thousand, still we are afraid of Liu Bei."
.
Didn’t Military Master Huang say that? As long as we strengthen ourselves, other hostile forces will be helpless against us. Now we in Jingyi not only have the natural dangers of Hanzhong and the natural chasm of Sanjiang, but more importantly, we have unbreakable people’s hearts. If things go on like this, we will
It will be invincible."
Liu Zhang nodded slightly and lay down again, enjoying Huang Yue's tenderness.
Fazheng continued: "There is nothing wrong in Jiangdong. Zhou Yu is still recuperating. It is said that Sun Quan invited Zhou Yu to come back several times, but Zhou Yu did not accept the order. Maybe Zhou Gongjin knew that even if he regained military power, he would not be able to start a war.
As for the other Jiangdong officials, it is because of their presence that we have another barrier outside the Yangtze River's natural chasm. It will be difficult for the Jiangdong war faction to break through this barrier.
As for the north, the situation was not good. Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao several times. He vomited three liters of blood, fell ill, and died a month ago. Each of his three sons had military power, but they were seriously at odds with each other and competed for inheritance rights. Cao Cao did not return.
Attack and allow the three sons to fight each other. It looks like the Yuan family's power will disappear in the north."
"Wei Yan is guarding Hanzhong, Wang Xu is guarding Xiqiang, Fan Lixiang, Li Yan, Jiang Wan, Yan Yan, Wei Wen and others are guarding Jingzhou. I am very relieved. I, Jingyi, am now more stable than ever before and can develop with peace of mind."
At this moment, a soldier came in: "Report to my lord, a letter from Lord Cai Ming of the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate."
"Oh, bring it up?"
Liu Zhang shook off the letter, glanced at it, frowned, and asked Fazheng, "What's the matter, my lord?"
"The Yong family, a wealthy family in Jianning, said they would help us clear the road in the middle section of Jianning, but the management of this section of road will be handed over to the Yong family in the future."
"Isn't that reasonable? Isn't that giving them the throat of the Silk Road?" Fazheng said angrily.
Liu Zhang chuckled and stretched: "It's nothing. The Silk Road is so long. How can it be controlled by our people? It's impossible not to let others control it. The Yumenguan Silk Road also has to go through Loulan and other Western Regions.
Country?"
"My lord, is he planning to give up the middle section of Jianning to the Yong family?"
"Of course not."
The Dharma is stagnant.
Liu Zhang said disdainfully: "What is the Yong family? Loulan is a kingdom in the Western Region, and Jianning is the territory of this prince. The Han Dynasty can intimidate Loulan and clear the road. Do I also want to intimidate the Yong family? Isn't that a success?
How can we become a state within a state?"
Liu Zhang threw the letter aside and sighed: "It's just that Cai Ming said in the letter that the road in the middle section of Jianning is very difficult to clear, and it can't be done without relying on local people. If I refute it directly, I will definitely offend the Yong family. The Yong family is
The Jianning clan, without their cooperation, it would be more difficult to open the road."
"Have you ever thought about annihilation, my lord?" Fazheng suddenly asked.
Liu Zhang glanced at Fazheng, and it seemed that after two years, the warlike spirit of the Sichuan army had been eradicated. Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Eradicate, I would like to, but didn't you hear Huang Quan and Wang Fu making noises?"
Now Jing Yi has just started to develop on the right track. Our battle in Xiqiang has exposed the bottom line. If we fight again, we will have to pay for our losses. How will we fight Cao Cao in a few years?
Nanzhong, well, forget it, I can’t even think of that miasma-ridden place.”
Liu Zhang knew only a little about the history of the Three Kingdoms, but he still had an impression of Nanzhong. Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times. The cave master in the middle, the cave master, the king, and the king all had special skills, and all the soldiers under his command had special powers.
There are endless vine-armored troops, iron-armored troops, elephant soldiers, wild beast troops, and sky crossbow arrays.
There are also water that cannot be drunk, springs that cannot be drank, rivers that cannot be used for boats, poisonous snakes, poisonous scorpions, poisonous centipedes, poisonous toads, oh, Liu Zhang shuddered just thinking about it, not to mention frightened to death.
"Then how does my lord plan to deal with the Yong family's affairs?"
"It is recommended to appease the Yong family by building roads, compensating them for their land, and using money and grain to recruit local barbarians to build roads, and refuse to give any private management rights. Let Dong, Cai Ming and Li Hui decide the details themselves. We can't cover everything. Then
I might as well use a robot."
"robot?"
At this time, Wang Lei came in and greeted Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang waved his hand and told Fazheng to leave.
"Wang Lei, do you have anything to report?"
"No." Wang Lei replied.
Liu Zhang nodded: "It's good if there is no one." Wang Lei is responsible for supervising banks and other key departments. There is no report, which means there is no major case. Wang Lei is upright and hates evil. Liu Zhang believes that he will not lie. There is no major case, so Liu Zhang is relieved.
