The three counties of Fengzhou, with 5,000 households and two taxes of only more than 10,000 straits of grain, etc., according to the rules of the past two hundred years, 30% of the court were paid, and 30% of the prefectures and counties were left, and the remaining ones belonged to the Jiedushi.

The part that was handed over to the court depends on the prestige of the court. For example, the Later Jin and Later Han Dynasty were basically delayed, and it would be only half the best.

The part that Fengzhou pays to the court is basically based on the household registration of the past years, rather than the actual household registration. In the true sense, there are about 8,000 households.

Therefore, Fengzhou Tuanjian is equivalent to a small vassal state. The intercepted part, plus the retained part of the prefectures and counties, is actually equivalent to 90% of the total tax.

When Tokyo received a few thousand guan, Fengzhou actually earned 20,000 guan a year, nearly ten times the amount.

This is also the abominable thing about the vassal states. Since they can also be taxed at will, under the military force, every vassal state is ambitious and will suffer a great loss to the taxes of the court.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin continued to reduce the vassals, and the strength of the Tokyo court increased by a little, just like a greedy snake, raising all local taxes. Coupled with his own development, it can be said that the strength of the Central Plains has been continuously strengthened, and time is not waiting for me.

What is even more disgusting is that in order to accumulate wealth, Zhao Kuangyin collected all the taxes on the vassal states as much as possible. However, Li Jia exempted miscellaneous taxes other than regular taxes as much as possible? Such as household tax, dime tax, cattle tax, etc.

It's a long way to go...

Anyway, except for the salaries of officials in Fengzhou, the rest of the money and grain are basically used to support soldiers.

A regiment trained with five thousand people.

It can be said that this little money raises so many soldiers? It is precisely because of military and military power. In addition, Zhang Hui has always been honest? Zhang Wenyan naturally has never seen much money.

Zhang Wenyan often handles government affairs? He naturally understands that the regiment trains too much, and the money and food are barely supporting, and the daily necessities are insufficient? So people are eager for money.

Using money? The best way is.

"Dutou, battalion commander, and commander of the Dutou, if they are asked to obey the promise, it will cost at least 20,000 guan."

After careful consideration, Zhang Wenyan looked serious.

"At some point, I can't make up so much money."

Li Jin sighed? He said, "But, I can raise some money between Xingyuan and Fengxiang? I just don't know if the money tickets have been used?"

"Fengzhou has no world money house, can Xingyuan Mansion be used? Fengzhou cannot be used."

Zhang Wen delayed his breath? If Li Jin really took out 20,000 yuan immediately? He immediately slapped his butt and left. Those who could take out the money must be a businessman, and he was not a bad intention.

"Ten days at most-"

"It's too little, one month." Li Jin weighed the army and baggage situation of Xingyuan Mansion, and couldn't help but say.

"Half a month, no more." Zhang Wenyan sighed and said, "My father is weak and he is getting worse. If he delays, he will be able to leave, and no matter how much money he has, it will be useless if he can't borrow this tiger skin."

"Half a month is half a month."

Li Jin felt a little happy, but Li Jin seemed to have made some major decision. He gritted his teeth and tried not to make himself laugh, saying, "Brother Zhang, when you become the lord of Fengzhou, I will want gold and lead ore--"

"Okay--" Zhang Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief. It would be profitable. Although he was reluctant to let the gold mine, he exchanged a promise for 20,000 yuan, which was worth it.

"Hahaha--" Li Jin laughed from the bottom of his heart, achieving his goal, very happy.

Zhang Wenyan also achieved what he wanted, looked at each other and laughed together.

Different minds, but they are all happy.

Xingyuan Prefecture, Nanzheng.

"What you said is true?" Yang Shifan was excited when he heard Li Jin's words and became happier.

Fengzhou is located in an important position. There are Baishui Pass and Xianren Pass in the south. Although it is not a one-man pass and ten thousand men cannot open it, it is still an extremely important pass. The terrain is rugged and steep, and even if it is guarded by mediocre people, it will cause huge casualties to the Tang army.

Now, if there are internal ghosts, internal and external cooperation, that would be the best.

"Of course it's true." Li Jin lowered his head and smiled: "When Zhang Hui rejected his son, he could use a little trick, and his father and son to attack each other. Even after success, Fengzhou could easily be broken."

"Okay!" Yang Shifan exclaimed: "The Shooting Sound System is indeed well-known."

He walked around, unable to hide his excitement, and said, "If Fengzhou is down, what is the calculation of just 20,000 yuan? If he can win the Great San Pass, that would be even better."

From Xingzhou to Fengzhou, it is a difficult Lianyun Road. If Fengzhou is taken down, it means that you can cross the first level and go directly to Chencang Road and face the Dasan Pass.

Not to mention how many soldiers' casualties have been reduced, it is possible to boost morale by winning so easily.

After Dasan Pass, along the Jialing River, there is Chencang, then Fengxiang is flat, and then Chang'an is Chang'an.

Yang Shifan thought to himself that the troops from Xichuan and Badong were almost all here, and nearly 50,000 people gathered in Xingyuan Prefecture. In a few days, Governor Zhang was about to arrive. It was only two or three months before the Northern Expedition began in the spring.

I am afraid I will win a big victory along the way.

"You must first extract these 20,000 guan from Xingyuan Treasury. You must keep a close eye on Fengzhou and find out the situation of Dasan Pass. When the time comes, you will definitely ask for me—"

Mr. Yang said in a deep voice.

Now Xingyuan Mansion has begun to control the situation, and a large amount of materials are pouring in, and there is no shortage of money.

"Yes!" Li Jin responded and said, "Fengzhou will definitely be as you wish."

Yang Shifan nodded and waved his hand to let him leave.

He felt much more relieved, but he was still nervous.

In attacking Guanzhong, it is only the first difficulty to climb the level, and the real difficulty lies in the supply of food.

The Shu Road is difficult, and it is harder to reach the sky. The Chencang Road crosses the Qinling Mountains, from Fengzhou to Chencang. Although it is only a few hundred miles, the terrain is really difficult to move. When the stone and rice are coming, the 50,000 troops will consume a huge amount of food.

Xichuan is rich, but there is no shortage of food, but even if there is food, it may not be transported.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a headache.

Since ancient times, there have been countless leading to Guanzhong. After all, the Qinling Mountains are too big, and it is very easy to find some small paths, but there are only four main roads, namely Chencang Road, Baoxi Road, Tangluo Road, and Ziwu Road.

However, the last three valleys are basically difficult to walk on, but there is no dangerous pass guarded by the enemy at the entrance of the valley. The enemy generally relies on the mountain to defend.

On the contrary, the fourth Chen Cang Old Road is relatively flat.

Not to mention anything else, the other three paths, even if you pass by and arrive in Guanzhong, you will not be able to keep up with the food supply and will be killed and beaten up in groups.

Especially the Ziwu Road advocated by Wei Yan is the closest to Chang'an and the most dangerous, with at most no more than ten thousand people. Even if this person conquers Chang'an, he cannot defend it, and he cannot come back. This is equivalent to Nezha among the kings, giving away his head for thousands of miles.
