Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1768 Lantian County exerts its strength!

.mhtx. "Well, there is a mountain here, but it's not high or steep, you can go up on horseback!"

"How tall is not tall? Ten zhang or one hundred zhang?"

"Where do I remember this?"

"Didn't you say that you are good at remembering the way? Can you remember any place you've been to once?"

"Uh... I remembered this at the time, but now I forgot..."

"You...! Think about it again, if you can't remember it, go to practice! I'll ask Zhiping to double your practice task today!"

"Uh, don't, don't! Xiaoxuan, wait a minute, I seem to remember it! That mountain is about fifty feet long, with a radius of half a mile. There are many pine trees on the mountain!"

"Well! What about here? The map shows that there is also a peak here. Do you remember how high it is?"

In the afternoon, in the tent of Li Zexuan of the Xuanjia Army, he and Cheng Chumo were working on making the military sand table of Niushou Mountain according to the map. Cheng Chumo suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a wrong decision, that is, to assist Li Zexuan in the work of making the sand table in the tent. It seems that it is not at all easier than practicing on the school field!

Because Li Zexuan asked too carefully!

From the details to how high a mountain is, how wide it covers, how densely forested it is, and how many mountain roads there are around the mountain, he used to go hunting in Niushou Mountain with a group of gangsters from Chang'an City, but he was He went hunting, not to survey the terrain. How could he remember these details?

But it was too late to regret it now. If he wanted to "get off the pirate ship" at this time, today's drill task would be doubled. Wouldn't this cost him his life?

So, all afternoon, Cheng Chumo's head was about to explode! It is really too brain-burning! This guy feels that since he was born, he has not moved his brain as much as he does today!

"The map of Niushou Mountain given by Duan Zhixuan was originally scribbled, and many details were not drawn clearly. Now that the Xuanjia Army's gate is closed, only entry is allowed, and no exit is allowed. It is basically impossible to go to Niushou Mountain in person to survey the terrain. , and Qiu Xinggong will definitely obstruct it, so I can only force Cheng Chumo! Although I can't remember some details clearly, this guy has been to Niushou Mountain many times, and he is on the side to correct it, The error of the sand table made from this must be much smaller than that of the map!"

Seeing Cheng Chumo's sweating profusely "being forced to question", Li Zexuan was a little unbearable, but in this competition, in order to win the E-shaped Battalion, it must rely on reasonable tactics, and the premise of reasonable tactics is to find out in advance The terrain and terrain of the battlefield! Therefore, he could only sympathize with Cheng Mo in his heart!

"Ugly Niu, in this Niushou Mountain, which peak has the most prey? And what kind of prey is usually nearby?"

"Well... If you want to say that the prey has the most prey, it must be the main peak. This main peak covers the most area. Because the top of the peak is shaped like a bull's head, the people of Hu County call it Niushou Mountain. Oh, and there is also a Niutou Mountain. Anyway, It all means the same thing. The main peak of Niushou Mountain is densely forested, and ordinary people dare not go into it, because in addition to rabbits and pheasants, there are occasionally tigers and wolves.”

"What? There are tigers and wolves in Niushou Mountain?"

"Of course! I shot a tiger when I was twelve years old when I was hunting, how about that? Great, isn't it?"

"Go! You kid is so good! Then tell me about the other peaks!"

"Oh! In addition to the main peak of Niushou Mountain, there are..."

"To call you here today, I have something to discuss with you!"

In the next three quarters, Lantian County, the county government hall.

He county magistrate, Meng county magistrate, Hu Dianshi, Wang county magistrate, Zhang Zhuzhu, Sun Zhutou and other key county officials gathered together. Seeing that everyone was there, He magistrate put down the tea cup in his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, please tell me, I'll be all ears!"

Meng Xiancheng bowed his hands respectfully.

After Li Zexuan entered Lantian County and promulgated a series of policies to benefit the people and businessmen, the entire Lantian County showed a thriving attitude. In addition, Li Zexuan personally sent people to clear up the black people hidden in the dark of Lantian County. After the evil forces, Li Zexuan's prestige in the whole Lantian County has grown even stronger, and as Li Zexuan's "little brother", the magistrate He has naturally risen, and his position in the Lantian County government has become more stable than ever!

After all, as a prince of the state, Li Zexuan holds many official positions, and he certainly cannot devote all his energy to the management of Lantian County, so the actual administrator of Lantian County is the magistrate!

The magistrate He coughed twice and said solemnly: "Cough! You must have read today's "Datang Daily", right? Raising military funds! This matter was initiated by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, and Lord Hou is the chairman of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. How do you think our county government should handle this matter?"

Hearing this, everyone could not help frowning and fell into contemplation.

Obviously, they have all seen today's "Datang Daily", but the fundraising conference was initiated by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, which is a businessman's business, while the county government is an official government, representing the court, can you participate, and how much you can participate? This degree is hard to control!

"The county magistrate means that this fund-raising conference was promoted by Hou Ye?"

Meng Xiancheng cupped his hands and asked.

The magistrate He nodded and said, "Of course!"

Master Zhang couldn't help but wonder: "But Lord Hou is now in the army and has no skills. How can he have time to arrange the fundraising conference?"

The rest of the crowd couldn't help but nod their heads.

The magistrate He stroked his beard and said, "It is true that Lord Hou is in the army, but Lord Hou can arrange for other people to do this! As far as this official knows, the person who is running the fundraising conference is named Lin Wenyuan. This person is not only a The first batch of members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, and he has a very good relationship with Hou Ye in private. The reason why Lin Wenyuan can call on other members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce is precisely because he has the seal of the president of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce! Can you not know about it?"

"This... It seems that this fundraising conference must be promoted by the Hou Ye!"

Hearing this, Meng Xiancheng couldn't help but nodded, and then he continued: "Master Hou launched a fund-raising conference to help the court raise military funds. Maybe this matter was instructed by the sage! I just don't know how the sage raised this fund-raising conference. How much is required!"

The magistrate He nodded in approval and said: "Mengxian Cheng's analysis is good, all dynasties have been light merchants, this time the prince can launch a fund-raising conference in the name of the court. First, it shows that the court is preparing for the Turkic war. Difficulty, and secondly, it shows that this matter must have been instructed by the saint, otherwise, no one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty would dare to allow the Hou Ye to call on the merchants to raise military funds!

In addition, no matter whether the sage has any requirements for the amount of military resources to be raised, in the end, the more funds are raised, the better the situation of the Marquis in the court. This is always true! Therefore, this official believes that our county government will give full support to the fundraising conference of the Dragon Gate Inn in two days! "

Wang Xianwei, who had not spoken for a long time, finally spoke at this time. He stroked his beard and said: "Yes! The county magistrate's analysis is reasonable! No matter whether the Holy Master has any requirements for the amount of military funds raised, it is right to raise more. It's just that this fund-raising conference is a face-to-face with businessmen, what can our county government do?"

"Yes! What can our county government do?"

The rest of the people were also puzzled.

The magistrate He couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha! In this matter, our county government has a lot to do! At the beginning of the year, Lord Hou took over Lantian County and carried out a series of drastic reforms. Now our Lantian County has become the world's largest county. The most important place for businessmen has not only established a business department to manage businessmen, but also cleaned up the rogues in the city, creating a good business environment for businessmen!

From this aspect, the relationship between our county government and businessmen is far closer than that of other counties and businessmen. In this way, our participation in this fundraising conference is a "famous teacher"!

After the discussion is over for a while, Meng County Chancellor, go to contact Lin Wenyuan to inquire about the process and preparation process of the fund-raising conference. If possible, by the way, ask about the plan of Lord Hou! "

This time, Li Zexuan bypassed the Lantian County government office and directly entrusted Lin Wenyuan to organize the fundraising conference. This made the county magistrate a little nervous. From seeing the news in the newspaper in the morning, to the time when the county government was called to discuss the matter, He County Ling has been thinking about why Li Zexuan left the fundraising conference to Lin Wenyuan instead of the county government!

At first, he thought it was his county magistrate who had neglected his duties recently. He had seriously reflected on what he had done during this period, but he did not find anything wrong or wrong!

After thinking about it and thinking about it without thinking of the answer, the county magistrate planned to let the county government also participate in this fundraising conference in order to "restore" the impression of the county government in Li Zexuan's mind!

(Actually, he thought too much about himself. Li Zexuan arranged for Li Ke to hand over the fundraising meeting to Lin Wenyuan, which was completely a subconscious move of "business talk and business".

"Yes! The subordinate obeys!"

The county magistrate Meng also heard an unusual taste in the last sentence of the county magistrate, and he hurriedly handed over his orders.

The magistrate He nodded and then ordered: "Sun Zhaotou, this fundraising conference, you brought a hundred yamen officers and deployed them inside and outside the Longmen Inn in advance. One is to ensure the safety of the money raised from the fund-raising, and the other is to ensure the safety of the money. No one will be present to pick quarrels and stir up trouble, and those who violate the rules will be taken directly and sent to the county jail first! Be sure to ensure that the fundraising conference goes smoothly!"

"Yes! The magistrate can rest assured that Sun will not let this fundraising conference go wrong!"

Sun Zhaotou clasped his fists and said loudly.

At the beginning, at the behest of Li Zexuan, the Lantian county government office expanded several times in three shifts. Sun Zhaotou now has a large number of subordinates.

"Hmm! That's the best!"

The county magistrate nodded with satisfaction, then his eyes swept over Sun Zaotou, looked at Zhang Zhushu, and said, "Zhang Zhushu, it has been more than three months since the county government established the Commerce Department and reformed the business tax. In the past three months, how many merchants have registered with the Commerce Department? How much is the total amount of business tax collected?"

The Department of Commerce was established in April this year, and now it is the end of July. It is indeed more than three months!

In addition, although the Department of Commerce is another department independent of the county government, it is difficult to find relevant talents in a short period of time due to the initial establishment of the department. Therefore, the work of the Department of Commerce has always been from the county government. The person who came to serve concurrently, and the master bookkeeper Zhang was in charge of the taxation and accounts of the Commerce Department!

Master Zhang is not only proficient in arithmetic, but also has an excellent memory. Hearing this, he pondered for a moment and then replied:

"Back to the county magistrate, in the past three months, a total of 472 merchants have been added to the city. In addition to the original merchants, the number of merchants registered by the Department of Commerce has exceeded 600!

In the first month, the commercial tax levied by the Department of Commerce is 2,165, the second month is 5,728, and the third month is 9,724 , so the commercial tax collected by the Department of Commerce in the past three months is 17,617 in total.

The accounts are all in the county government warehouse, and the county magistrate can send someone to check at any time! ! "

"Hi~!"

At the beginning, Li Zexuan not only established the Commerce Department, cleaned up the local ruffians and bullies in Lantian County, but also reformed the business tax. ! Although the proportion of business tax has been increased, the number of businessmen in Lantian County has not decreased but increased!

Because in Lantian County, the property of businessmen is protected by the government from being infringed by others. The children of businessmen can enter the county school to study and take the admission test of Yanhuang Academy. In addition, when opening a shop in Lantian County, there is no need to worry about the rogues coming to collect protection fees. All these benefits combined are enough to offset the negative impact of the increase in the proportion of business tax, so there are more and more businessmen and more shops in Lantian County!

Rao Shi and everyone had a relatively high estimate of the result of the commercial tax collection in Lantian County, but after hearing the number from Master Zhang's mouth, everyone couldn't help but take a breath, because this The numbers are simply too staggering!

What is the concept of more than 17,000 commercial taxes? In the past, the commercial tax collected by Lantian County in one year was less than 2,000 tons. As a result, the commercial tax collected in three months is more than eight times the commercial tax collected in the previous year!

What's even more terrifying is the growth rate of the business tax levied every month, which is amazing!

The first month was still more than 2,000 pieces, the second month went directly to more than 5,000 pieces, and the third month was even more ruthless, reaching more than 9,000 pieces. God knows how much the fourth and fifth months will be?

"Yeah! Master Zhang, two days later, from the seventeen thousand six hundred and seventeen, take out 10,000, and you will replace the county government to participate in the fund-raising conference! This is also my Lantian County. Let the imperial court do a little bit of effort to fight against the Turks!"

After a long silence in the hall, the magistrate He finally spoke up.
