Ten days later, Xiangyang City.

In the mansion, Zhang Xiu looked through the newly submitted tax reports from various places, and his face looked happy.

There are all kinds of excuses for paying taxes. Some people have not paid the taxes for later payment, some have too far to pass, and some have even said that they have seen less.

In short, Zhang Xiu has increased his money and food.

This is the effect of occupying territory. What should I do if I don’t have money to occupy him?

It seems that this wave of killing the chicken and intimidating the monkey is still very necessary. If you sit still, Jingzhou's tax revenue will only decrease and be sucked away by a group of blood-sucking insects below.

Not only in this chaotic world, but also in the time when Emperor Ling was in power, tax revenues in various places were also a mystery. Corruption became increasingly important and the tax revenue paid became less and less.

So much so that the court had no money, Emperor Ling even made money by buying and selling official titles to build palaces, and a three-month man often cost hundreds of millions.

Isn’t Cao Cao’s father just doing this? He bought a three-month man. You should know that a three-month man’s annual salary is 2,000 shi, and it will only be 400,000 yuan if it is exchanged for copper coins in the prosperous era.

However, a three-month man needs 100 million yuan, which is 250 years of salary. Tsk, I think about how corrupt it is.

Seeing Zhang Xiu happy, Chen Qun stroked his beard and chuckled, "Lord, the reimbursement details reported in various places in Jingxiang this time have a total of 463,000 hu of grain and more than 215 million yuan."

"Haha, magnificent."

Zhang Xiu laughed happily. These were the assets of the two Mi families. He immediately said loudly: "So much money and grain are put into the warehouse, then I, Jingzhou, will have great potential."

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Zhuge Liang and said in a deep voice: "Kong Ming, after the beginning of spring, you will be able to verify the money and grain transported to Jingzhou from all over the country. If anyone wants to get away with it, he will be severely punished."

"In addition, we will transfer a sum of money and grain to the Mi family, and we will be responsible for purchasing strategic materials such as iron ore, war horses, tinea oil, oak, etc. for me."

"No!" Zhuge Liang responded with his fists.

Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, suddenly remembered, looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Oh, Wenhe, can the invitations sent a few days ago be responded to by many families in the city?"

This is what Zhang Xiu is concerned about. After three days, he will get married and suck their blood. He has to see how the group of blood sucks respond.

After all, it was impossible for the Han Dynasty to not use aristocratic families.

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu stood up and fisted and said, "Lord, except for the Huang family, Ma family, Cai family and some of their affiliated families, most of the other aristocratic families only sent people to send gifts, all claiming that they were infected with wind and cold in the cold winter and were recuperating at home."

"Haha, I'm going to take care of my illness together? I'm afraid this is for me to see, right?" Zhang Xiu snorted coldly and threw the Chinese book on the table.

Jia Xu shook his head helplessly and said, "My lord should have guessed it long ago. You have ruined the wealth of many aristocratic families this time. They have long hated him for it."

Chen Qun held his fists and said heavily: "Lord, the reason for the aristocratic family to grow is mainly tax and merger of fertile land. Now the lord has killed one of them, which has actually cut off their financial path."

"As Wenhe said, I'm afraid they're already irritated. The lord needs to keep them from having bad intentions in the future."

"They dare!" Zhang Xiu snorted coldly.

"Lord, what the long article says is very good, it is better to be careful." Jia Xu nodded.

"Well, I have a clear idea in my heart." Zhang Xiu nodded and then said, "Since they don't come, Wenhe will visit me and bring some supplements there."

"Haha, lord is trying to drink their old blood and make up for them. But I'm afraid that this little bit of thought will not be able to make up for it." Jia Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

They have big sticks and red dates, but their lords are good. They hit the iron stick. After they hit it, they will suffer from cerebral hemorrhage. Nothing to eat is useful.

"Ahem, how much can I replenish, and help me find out their voices." Zhang Xiu smiled awkwardly. At present, it seems unlikely that it will be possible to promote the stalls in a short period of time.

Jia Xu glanced at Zhang Xiu suspiciously, then clasped his fists and responded.

"Okay, let's continue to arrange it!" Zhang Xiu waved his hand and immediately picked up the document and scanned it again. He made a lot of improvement in his internal affairs during this period.

Some problems will no longer be limited to theory, but can be implemented in combination with reality, which is rare and valuable.

After leaving the mansion, Jia Xu looked at Chen Qun, clasped his fists and chuckled, "Wen Chang, what does it mean to say that the lord specially asked me to visit several major families?"

"Wan Wenhe wouldn't know?" Chen Qun stroked his beard and didn't believe it. He immediately smiled and said, "My lord is asking Wenhe to ease the relationship and appease the masters. At least, the stability of Jingzhou now depends on the expressions of these people, and only you can represent the lord."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and pondered, and immediately thanked him and returned to his house.

…………

It is noon on the sun, and Kuai Mansion.

In the study, I listened to the notice from the servants.

Kuai Liang frowned, slowly put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and murmured: "Jia Xu? Did you come for Zhang Xiu?"

Kuai Liang pondered a little and said, "Go and let him go to the side hall to wait for me."

It is said that he was sick in bed and should not meet him, but he insisted that Zhang Xiu knows that he was not sick, but that he didn't want to attend the wedding banquet.

"No!" The servant should leave.

After a while, it was outside the hall.

Kuai Liang strides over with a smile on his face, and he clasps his fists and shouts: "Wenhe has been waiting for a long time, why is it worth Wenhe's personal trip? Send someone to send me a message."

Jia Xu's eyes were shining with splendor, he looked up and down, clasped his fists and chuckled, "I'm not sure that Zirou was suffering from the cold, so I'd like to ask Xu to come and visit Yi Er."

"But... Brother Zirou is not like a sick person. Could it be that his condition has improved?"

"Wenhe, you are also a prominent clan in Xiliang. There is no need to cover up your conversations between you and me like this? Zhang Xiu offended not only my Kuai family this time."

"Wenhe, I'm really dissatisfied with you. A few families in the city came to our mansion to talk about this a few days ago, but they were all dissatisfied, but I suppressed it."

"But if it continues for a long time, I can't guarantee that these people will not do anything out of the ordinary." Kuai Liang said coldly with his eyes, "I hope Wenhe will convey it on his behalf."

After saying that, Kuai Liang smiled gently and said, "Of course, we will pay the taxes we should pay. I just hope that the lord will have a sense of his heart, otherwise it will be better for anyone to break the slap in the death."

"Haha, don't worry, Zirou, your meaning must be conveyed on your behalf." Jia Xu said with a slight smile, then his eyes flashed with a glimmer, and he said coldly: "But Xu also said more, sometimes, if the fish dies, it may not be broken."

Kuai Liang's pupils shrank and he stared at Jia Xu.

What does he mean? Is Zhang Xiu trying to attack them? Or...

"Zirou, the lord has great talent and strategy, so it's better to look farther than looking. What do you think?" Jia Xu didn't answer and said cheerfully: "These are supplements given by the lord. Zirou, please be at ease to recover from the illness."

After saying that, Jia Xu turned around and left with his fists.
