Making an idea

The bumper harvest of various crops in Yuanling County and the prosperity of business have also spread to other places. Especially the nearby counties know that Yuanling County has planted many new crops this year, and they are all very productive, higher than those in several of their counties.

I don’t know how much better it is. Now many people want to go to Yuanling County to settle down and make a living.

There are also some new shops that have appeared in Yuanling County, and a steady stream of merchants from other places come to Yuanling County to purchase goods, making Yuanling County a truly wealthy county.

Not only the surrounding counties knew that Yuanling County was getting rich, but also many officials in the prefectural city of Meizhou City knew about it. Some officials took notice when they heard that Yuanling County produced a lot of food.

Jingyi and everyone gathered all the grain in the mountains and planted the second crop before returning to the county town.

The sweet potatoes grown in Jingyi had a bumper harvest. The people who followed Jingyi were surprised when they tasted the sweet potatoes. Such delicious and high-yielding things can really fill their stomachs. The sweet potatoes were brought to them by the eldest lady.

After getting along for such a long time, we all found that our eldest daughter is not only versatile in civil and military affairs, but also has many talents. Let’s talk about this kind of farming. Even those old-fashioned farming methods cannot compare with the eldest daughter.

The eldest lady knows too many things, has a clever mind, and comes up with ideas one after another. Those who follow the eldest lady have an increasingly easy life.

Jing Yi drove a carriage to bring Zhao Yi, Qiao Yan and their son to the county town, planning to stay in the county town for a few days. Jing Yi wanted to inspect the county town's industries.

Not long after Jing Yi arrived at the courtyard, Lu Tingjie and Lin Zhuocheng came together.

Jing Yi frowned when he heard this and said, "Did this official document be issued privately by the prefect of Meizhou Prefecture or by the emperor?"

I think we should simply ignore him. If they dare to embarrass you, we will let the people who come never come back. If they recruit you to go to Fucheng, you don't have to pay attention. We will just pretend to be confused. If it doesn't work, we will still

We have our own army, and anyone who dares to bully us will be beaten back."

Jing Yi knew that something big must have happened when Lu Tingjie came to see her with his uncle, "Uncle, Ajie, let's go into the house and talk."

At this time, An An, who is almost one year old, is playing in the yard. An An can now walk, but her walking is not very stable and she often needs the support of adults.

Lu Tingjie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jing Yi coming to the county seat. His troubles were finally discussed with someone.

From now on, you have people spread the news that Shangguan is forcing you to raise taxes. One is to see the people's reaction, and the other is to gain the support of the people when we resist the higher authorities.

Lu Tingjie had already secretly made a decision in his heart. As long as Jing Yi was still willing to accept him, he would regard An An as his biological son in the future and would treat Jing Yi well throughout his life. Even now, he loves An An from the bottom of his heart.

Jing Yi said: "Yuanling County is too small after all. After this year's development, the population has almost reached saturation. If there is an influx of people, the output of the fields will not be self-sufficient at all. So we must also start to consider outward expansion."

developed.

Several people entered the room and Lu Tingjie said: "Our Yuanling County has a great harvest this year, and the business is also very prosperous. All the officials in the prefecture know it. The day before yesterday, I received an official document from the prefect of Meizhou Prefecture, asking our Yuanling County to increase taxes.

.Not only do we have to levy commercial taxes, but we also have to levy household taxes and Ding taxes. This simply doesn’t give the people a way to survive.”

Jing Yi was surprised to see Lu Tingjie and his uncle coming to the courtyard together, "Uncle, Ajie, why are you here together? Is there something wrong?"

You don’t have to worry too much. Just like my uncle said, we have our own army and we are capable of protecting ourselves. We don’t need to be afraid of them. During this time, we have stepped up recruitment. During the recruitment, we said that there are bandits who want to rob Yuanling County because they see us getting rich.

We, we must have our own army to protect the lives and property of the people. Soldiers are also the children of the people, and we are not afraid that they will not work together to resist those who want to destroy their happy lives."

Lu Tingjie looked at the lovely An An, picked up the child, kissed it and said, "Uncle Lin and I have something important to discuss with you."

Lin Zhuocheng laughed and said: "Yiyi, your method is wonderful. As the saying goes, water can carry a boat and also capsize it. As long as we have the support of the people, what do we have to worry about? Now we have recruited 50,000 new soldiers, plus

We originally had 50,000 veterans, but now we have 100,000 troops. How many state capitals have such a large number of troops? Even if the Meizhou prefect really wants to move us, let's see if he has the strength."

Lin Zhuocheng looked at the lively and cute An An with envy, "Ajie, give me a hug An An. I haven't seen An An for a long time. I miss my uncle and grandpa so much."

Jing Yi frowned and thought for a while and said: "Now Yuanling County is a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite. Those officials in Fucheng must have been targeting it a long time ago. If you do what they want, then Yuanling County's

Do the people want to live? Doesn't this force them to die? People who don't want to die will become rebellious. We will not take the blame for those corrupt officials who have evil intentions.

Lu Tingjie said: "I have sent people to investigate. But I think that by imposing such a large amount of taxes, it must be because the officials in the city want to take advantage of it."

After saying that, Lin Zhuocheng took the child from Lu Tingjie's arms.

Lin Zhuocheng hugged An An and snorted, "Whether the official document comes down is the emperor's decree or the Meizhou prefect's intention, if you don't obey, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. They will definitely try to suppress you. If you are removed, you will be replaced."

There was nothing you could do about the last time one of their own became the county magistrate.

The little guy has been very restless since he could walk, always wanting to explore unknown things on his own, so Qiao Yan almost always stays by the child's side to prevent the child from bumping into him.

Lu Tingjie had long known that Jing Yi had a child, and he also knew that Jing Yi had left the child's father and would not go back.

He hated the man who hurt Jing Yi. Jing Yi was such a good person but he didn't cherish him. He deserved that Jing Yi took the child and left him.

I have been asking people to collect news from various places. Nowadays, the people in Yiguo are in dire straits, and riots occur in many places. The army of Yiguo has been struggling to suppress rebellions in various places, and it has consumed a lot of money.

I have also been ordering people to contact the old troops of the Jing family scattered in various places. Some people will even bring their troops to defect to me, so we must expand our territory. As long as our troops reach 200,000, no one will be afraid of us.

When the time comes, we will build up our strength and fight to the capital under the banner of acting for heaven."

Lu Tingjie didn't expect Jingyi to have thought so far, but he believed that Jingyi would definitely realize her plan, "Yiyi, I will always support you. Let's fight back to the capital together."

Lin Zhuocheng said: "The Dog Emperor is not a human being, he brutalizes loyal people, and doesn't care about the life or death of the people. In the end, the destruction of the country is his retribution. When the time comes, we will fight back to the capital to avenge those who died unjustly."
