Chapter 2654: Amazing discovery!

Lantian County is just a medium-sized county. Among the more than 1,500 states

and counties in Datang, Lantian County is definitely not the wealthiest group

of counties. Of course, this is just the former Lantian County!

Nowadays, Lantian County is full of shops and pavilions in the city. The

original criss-crossing bluestone streets have been changed to smooth cement

roads. According to rumors, Lantian County Government has the intention to

expand Lantian County. The entire Lantian County, In this short period of less

than a year, tremendous changes have taken place. Of course Li Er knew about

these changes, but he didn't know that the county government in Lantian County

was able to directly donate 10,000 yuan to the imperial court!

Ten thousand, what concept is this for a county government?

Throughout the entire Datang, counties with annual tax revenues of more than

10,000 can be counted in one hand, such as Chang'an County and Wannian County.

These two counties rely on the advantages of the capital city of Chang'an, and

the annual taxes collected in the entire Datang They are all disdainful of the

group, basically more than 20,000! But why can Lantian County, a small and

medium-sized county, donate 10,000 yuan casually? Where did they get so much

money?

Moreover, what is more important is that the entire Lantian County is now Li

Zexuan's fief. Under this circumstance, shouldn't all the taxes collected by

Lantian County go into Li Zexuan's pockets? Why did the magistrate of Lantian

County dared to donate 10,000 guan to the court? Could this be from Li

Zexuan's instruction?

At the moment when he saw the line of information on Lantian County’s county

government donations in the account book, Li Er’s mind came to many questions,

and in this hall, the only people who could solve his doubts were there. Xiao

Yu at the fundraising meeting!

In fact, Xiao Yu was in a daze when he heard the county magistrate He donated

10,000 yuan on behalf of Lantian County in the afternoon. On the way back from

Lantian County to Chang'an, Xiao Yu was also thinking about some issues about

Lantian County. Hearing Li Er's question, he pondered for a moment, and said:

"His Majesty, since Lantian County became the fief of Yonganhou, all officials

of Lantian County have started to develop commerce in the city according to

Yonganhou’s instructions. For this reason, at the beginning of this year,

Lantian County’s office established a business The Department of Commerce

specializes in ensuring that business people can receive fair treatment in

Lantian County and that they can do business normally, but the Department of

Commerce has increased the business tax ratio of Lantian County by five times!

However, this is the case, and there are still merchants from all over the

country flooding into the county seat of Lantian County to do business,

because in Lantian County, merchants, like the people and craftsmen, are all

civilians, and there are no three or sixty-nine divisions. Cases involving

merchants, It will be specially heard by the Department of Commerce, and the

children of businessmen can enter the official school in Lantian County, and

they can also be admitted to Yanhuang Academy in the future!

As a result, commercial shops and restaurants in Lantian County have sprung up

like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the city’s commerce has become

increasingly prosperous. In addition, the Department of Commerce has increased

the commercial tax ratio by five times. As a result, Lantian County’s monthly

commercial tax income is now more than It has been dozens of times higher in

the past!

The old officials heard from the He county magistrate of Lantian County that

the taxes collected by the Lantian county government every month were not

collected by Yongan Houdu, so he kept all of them in the county government and

ordered He County magistrates and others to use the money. Improving the

people's livelihood in the county is called taking from the people and using

it for the people!

Therefore, Lantian County has become the first county seat of Datang with

cement roads, and it will not be long before Lantian County will become the

first county seat of Datang to be electrified! At that time, Lantian County

will be more attractive to merchants from all over the world, and Lantian

County will levy more taxes every year. At the same time, the county will have

more money to improve people's livelihood.

This is a virtuous circle! If things go on like this, there will be more and

more merchants in Lantian County, and more and more taxes will be collected by

the county government every year, and the livelihood of Lantian County will be

improved more and more. In a few years, Lantian County might Will become

another Chang'an city! Under this circumstance, it is not surprising that the

county government of Lantian County can donate 10,000 yuan to the court! "

As the Hubu Shangshu of Datang, Xiao Yu naturally has to constantly ponder the

way to make money and manage business. After less than a year of development,

Lantian County has begun to show its strength, which is naturally worthy of

his research and thinking. Just when Li Er asked, he told Li Er all he knew.

"It's a virtuous circle to take one from the people and use it for the

people!"

When Li Er heard this, his eyes dimmed slightly, but then his eyes dimmed

again. He shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, there is only one in

Lantian County and only one in Yonganhou! That's all!"

As the prince of a country, Li Er knows very well that it is difficult to

replicate the rapid prosperity of Lantian County. First, because there are

still too few officials with vision and courage like Li Zexuan, it is

impossible for Li Er to make these empires scarce. Officials are all sent to

each county to take charge of government affairs. Secondly, it is also

difficult to replicate the policy of Lantian County, which is taken from the

people and used by the people, because generally speaking, the taxes collected

by each county must be turned in. To the imperial court, it is impossible to

"trap" taxes like the Lantian county government office to use to improve

people's livelihood, otherwise the treasury will run out of money!

That's why Li Er said, "There is only one in Lantian County, and there is only

one in Yonganhou"!

How could Xiao Yu not understand the meaning implied in Li Er's words, he

couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart.

Li Er was silent for a moment, and suddenly his expression was shocked, and

said: "Now that the court has this money, there is no need to worry about the

military expenditure of the Turkic conquest! Next, Xiao Aiqing, you have to

use this money well. Before the war begins, prepare for four. The 150,000

army’s food, grass and equipment, count as days, and the time of the attack on

the grasslands is likely to be approaching the cold winter. I don’t want to

see that the soldiers of my Datang were not killed by the enemy’s sword, but

frozen to death and starved to death. On the grassland! Do you understand?"

"The old minister understands! Please rest assured, before the army goes out,

the minister will do his best to prepare the necessary materials for the army

to go out!"

Xiao Yu looked solemnly and solemnly arched his hands.

He was originally a good hand in charge of money, otherwise he would not be

"mixed" in the position of Shangshu, but before the treasury did not have much

money, he was a clever woman who could not cook without rice, now the treasury

is rich, he is a "smart woman "You will be able to indulge yourself and give

full play to your strengths!

"Well! The Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce has done a good job in hosting the

fundraising conference this time, and the merchants participating in the

fundraising conference are willing to donate generously to help the court tide

over the difficulties. I will also give a commendation~!"

Li Er nodded in satisfaction, then he looked at Xiao Yu, and laughed: "Ai Qing

has been running around, so I must have not used food yet? I won't be that

wicked person anymore, and Ai Qing will go back soon!"

It's okay if he doesn't say this. When he said that Xiao Yu's stomach suddenly

"guckled", Xiao Yu's face blushed, and he quickly said, "The old minister

retire~!"

He was busy all afternoon and he was indeed hungry.

"Brother, this is the hidden weapon used by the assassin!"

Taiyuan City, in a guest room of the post house, Dugu Feiying took out a

wooden box from his arms, then opened the wooden box, and saw a handkerchief

wrapped in a small needle in the wooden box, and he handed it to the box with

the needle. He ended Duguxin and said, "Big brother, be careful, this needle

should be smeared with highly toxic, see the blood seal the throat!"

"Ok!"

Duguxin nodded, he stretched out his hand to take it, and then pinched one end

of the needle with his handkerchief, took it out of the wooden box, and looked

at it seriously. After a moment of silence, Duguxin frowned and asked. :

"Haven't one of you ever fought with that assassin?"

Hearing this, Dugu Feiying suddenly looked ashamed and said: "The assassin's

light work was too clever, and the overall strength was not weak, and we were

not prepared at the time. When the reaction came over, he was already a step

slower, and he couldn't catch up. Watching him run away!"

Dugu Feiying sighed and didn't say anything to blame his brother. He asked

again: "You said, is this assassin a Turkic or a Central Plains?"

"Of course it is a Turkic person!"

Lonely Flying Eagle didn't even think about it, and replied subconsciously.

"How do you know that the assassin must be a Turkic? You haven't played

against him?"

Dugu Xin glanced at Dugu Feiying lightly, not having a good air.

Dugu Feiying's tone was stagnant, and he paused. He was surprised: "Brother,

you mean, that assassin is from the Central Plains, how is this possible? It

stands to reason ~www.mtlnovel.com~ he should be the same as Zhu Xiesheng Hey,

since Zhu Xiesheng is a Turkic, then the assassin must also be a Turkic!"

Duguxin said in a deep voice: "These are just your guesses, and the facts need

to pay attention to evidence! In my opinion, this assassin is likely to be a

native of the Central Plains! Look at this needle..."

Speaking of this, Dugu Xin's handkerchief held a needle and held it directly

in front of him and Dugu Flying Eagle. Dugu Feiying quickly took a closer look

and listened to Dugu Xin's explanation:

"Although this poisonous needle is the same thickness as an embroidery needle,

it is much longer than an embroidery needle, and there is no needle hole at

the end. Obviously it was specially made by a craftsman according to the

user's requirements. Very poisonous, and it is the poison that is quenched

when forging, otherwise the poison will easily lose its toxicity when it flows

on the surface!

But there is no such thing as a skilled blacksmith on the grassland, so the

assassin will never come to Datang from the grassland to find someone to forge

a poison needle for him, right? A foreigner came to Central Plains to find a

craftsman to forge a poisonous needle. Wouldn't you say that the craftsman

felt strange and reported to him? Even if not, I don't think the assassin dare

to take this risk!

And according to what you said, the assassin must be a master master, but the

master master on the grassland, I have never heard of anyone who is good at

using poisonous needles. The only explanation is that this assassin is from

the Central Plains, the land of the Central Plains. , Crouching Tiger, Hidden

Dragon, it is not surprising that there are one or two unknown master masters

who are good at poisoning needles, and this person is likely to be good at

forging, or he has a blacksmith under his hand who can forge poison needles

for him! "

After listening, Dugu Feiying was shocked and speechless for a long time.

After returning to his senses, he muttered to himself: "Central Plains? That

assassin turned out to be Central Plains? Now things are getting more and more

complicated..."
