Many farmers have now lost their ancestral land and have had to work in urban factories.

In the past 50 years, Daheng has been able to maintain the rapid development of industry in the time of war, which is also greatly related to the decline of the rural economy and the continuous flow of a large number of rural people into the cities.

Without a large number of bankrupt peasants entering the cities to work, the factories could not recruit people, so how could we talk about developing industry.

Daheng's special national conditions have also led to the fact that even in a poor place like Lianguan County, agriculture is actually relatively developed, and the tax revenue in the era of feudal towns is also quite good.

After Lin Ziran took control of these places, he did not change the local tax system, but followed the tax system of Cheng Lingfeng's era.

Cheng Lingfeng controlled the entire Luo'an County before, and although the tax set was quite heavy, it was still within the acceptable range, and Lin Ziran was also short of money now, so it was unlikely that he would take the initiative to reduce the tax, all he could do was not to increase it.

You must know that Zhao Song is a poor bastard, but he has swept Yonggu County to the bottom, and it is rumored that he has begun to engage in 'pre-taxation' in Yonggu County.

What does it mean?

It is to pay the taxes for the next year or even the year after in advance......

Even after Jianminggang took control of the three counties and one district, there was no tax increase on the surface, especially no tax on the peasants, but took advantage of the relatively developed local industry and commerce to increase taxes in the intermediate links, such as the grain processing industry, the transportation industry, and the like, and this indirect tax inevitably further reduced the income level of the local peasants.

There is almost no difference from raising taxes directly on local farmers.

Lin Ziran did not raise taxes, not because he had a conscience, but because he had a Tsingshan Oil Company under his hands.

The income that a Tsingshan oil company can contribute to him is actually more than the regular tax on many of the territories he currently controls.

Previously, Lin Ziran had already formulated special oil-related taxes, including oil exploitation tax, oil surcharge, kerosene surcharge and other special petroleum taxes, after all, it is not a matter that the oil industry has not paid taxes.

At the same time, the oil company is his private property, and it is not a matter of direct government jurisdiction.

In addition, because of the confusion in the previous accounts, Lin Ziran finally came up with a special oil tax to split the accounts between the official and the oil company.

Most of the profits of the oil companies will be collected through taxes and incorporated into the official financial system, and most of them will be used directly for military spending.

According to the current output of Tsingshan Petroleum Company, the special tax revenue on oil alone can reach 3 million per year, and this number is still rising, because the crude oil production capacity of Tsingshan Petroleum Company is continuing to rise, and the production capacity of oil refineries is also continuing to rise.

Even though the majority of the company's profits are taxed, there are still plenty of profits retained to sustain the company's continued expansion.

As for the expansion of the construction of the ordnance production line of the Qingshan Machinery Factory, it was not in the form of direct financial withdrawal, but in the form of direct pre-purchase orders by the military.

Before the expansion of the Qingshan Machinery Factory was completed, the military had already ordered 30,000 new rifles, 100 artillery pieces, 50,000 new grenades and a large number of other ordnance from the company, with a total order value of 3 million Hengyuan.

According to these orders, the military will pay a deposit of at least one million Hengyuan in the coming year.

This model is that the military first gives the Tsingshan Machinery Factory money to expand the production line, and then the Tsingshan Machinery Factory produces ordnance and ammunition to supply the military, and in order to ensure that the Tsingshan Machinery Factory can be smoothly expanded and put into production.

Because although the money has begun to be given, and the order has been nominally received, in fact, the military itself does not know what new rifles will be able to be produced by the Aoyama Machinery Factory at that time.

The military seems to have taken the blame, but in fact the money was not military spending, but the profits of the Tsingshan Petroleum Company itself, which were only transferred through taxes and military spending, and were only invested in the Tsingshan Machinery Factory in the name of military spending.

If the military wants to get these weapons, they actually have to pay the final payment, which is actually the money that the military needs to purchase weapons.

These procedures may seem redundant, but in fact they are indispensable for the formalization of a system.

There are no rules to follow, which seems simple and convenient, but it can also become chaotic.

With the addition of ordinary local taxes and oil taxes, the financial revenue of Lin Ziran's ministry should be about five million a year.

So don't look at Lin Ziran, his territory is small, the population under his rule is small, and the number of troops is not large, but his income is not small.

Don't look at him crying every day and saying that he has no money to expand the army and purchase equipment, but he is just talking, there are few people in a huge Luo'an County who can continue to expand the army like him.

Now what Nanzhou Bank said about a million loans, a year ago, Lin Ziran would care, but now, he said that if he had more than one million Heng Yuan, he would naturally be able to do many things better, but if there was no one million Heng Yuan, he would barely be able to live this life.

In other words, Lin Ziran didn't have to ask for this million constant yuan.

And this also gave him the courage to refuse.

Zhou Li obviously knew this, even though it was unlikely that he would know the income of Tsingshan Petroleum Company in detail, but no matter how he knew it, he knew that Lin Ziran had a financial income of several million a year.

It is unrealistic to want to use one million Hengyuan to let Lin Ziran send troops south to be the first bird.

So Zhou Li thought about it for a while and said: "My lord, if you go south, you can seize Mihe County, this Mihe County is one of the three counties and one district, one of the most elite areas in Luo'an County, once you take this place, it is enough to double the population tax under the rule of adults." ”

"And it can also get direct contact with the second division over there on land."

"At that time, most of the entire eastern coast of Luo'an County will be controlled by adults!"

Lin Ziran was still smiling and silent, everyone knew this, he naturally knew very well what the benefits of taking Mihe County were, but he knew even more about the risks of sending troops to Mihe County.

Lin Ziran said: "The county guard now has more than 50,000 soldiers, there is no need for more, only 10,000 troops need to be stationed in Mihe County and launch a counteroffensive, that is a big trouble."

"Manager Zhou, although you are not a soldier, you should also know the risks!"

Zhou Li already knew at this time that if he didn't pay a major price, he wouldn't expect Lin Ziran to send troops south to attack Mihe County.

And the key thing is that Nanzhou Bank is not a benevolent company, and it is impossible to pay a major price for Lin Ziran to send troops south.

Because then it will not be to stifle the county guard, but to support Lin Ziran to compete for the position of county guard.

The boss has never said that he will support a new county guard now, let alone give Lin Ziran too much support.

So he could only retreat and ask Lin Ziran to maintain the pressure on Mihe County, and it was best to send a small force south to fight a dozen, even so, Nanzhou Bank was willing to sell Lin Ziran a batch of ordnance at a low price.

In this regard, Lin Ziran agreed, anyway, he had already gathered troops in the six towns on the east bank of Lingchang, just to deter Jian Minggang and let him act rashly and directly attack Li Kun in the north.

As long as the Bank of Nanzhou does not have to send troops to the south, then the interests of both sides are the same.

So a preliminary verbal agreement was soon reached, and Zhou Li also reported the relevant information to his immediate boss, Wu Shenxuan, the senior business manager of the third department of the strategic committee of the Bank of Nanzhou, who was already in charge of the affairs of Luo'an County.

After Wu Shenxuan saw Zhou Li's report, he handed the report to a middle-aged man next to him and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, look at it, this Lin Ziran is ambitious, capable, and very cautious, none of these feudal towns are simple." ”

Fang Zhicheng on the side briefly looked at the report and said: "According to this report, Lin Ziran is extremely ambitious, capable and talented, and cautious enough, he is indeed a character!" ”

"But isn't this the person we need, it is precisely because of such careerists that we can take advantage of the situation and influence the situation!"

"So, I'm not afraid that they don't have ambition, I'm afraid that they won't be ambitious enough!"

"Actually, Brother Wu, it's a good thing that there are people like Lin Ziran in Luo'an County on your side, so it's easier to maintain the situation in this way, it's not like the whole situation in Hetai County is about to get out of control!"

When Wu Shenxuan heard this, he frowned slightly: "What's wrong with Hetai County?" Last year, didn't it mean that the situation in Dongdingzhou was already tense, and Yuan Yonghan, the patrol envoy of Dongdingzhou, had already withdrawn troops from Hetai County to stabilize the situation in Dongdingzhou? ”

Fang Zhicheng said: "It is because Yuan Yonghan withdrew his troops, so this Hetai County is out of control, when Yuan Yonghan withdrew his troops last year, his colleagues in the headquarters thought that they had finally survived a difficult hurdle and avoided the invasion of the big feudal towns in other states." ”

"But I didn't expect the news to come suddenly last month, Xu Teng, the warden of Hetai County, suddenly rose up and began to arrest our manpower on a large scale, and even the branches over there were taken over, and many colleagues have already suffered misfortune."

"Now the headquarters is already anxious about the affairs of Hetai County, otherwise, I would not have come to your Luo'an County to study and investigate, your Luo'an County has handled the situation very well in the past two years, and the headquarters also wants to learn from the successful experience of Luo'an County."

Wu Shenxuan looked incredulous: "He Xu Teng is so bold? How dare you arrest our men and take over our branches? ”

"Isn't he afraid of my Nanzhou Bank's retaliation?"

"Didn't the headquarters contact several counties around Hetai and form a coalition army to send troops to Hetai County? And Luohai County can also let them send out the navy! ”

"It's just a Hetai County, it's hard to turn the sky upside down!"

Hearing Wu Shenxuan's words, Fang Zhicheng was even more helpless: "Actually, before I came, our headquarters had already urgently contacted the three counties around Hetai, and Shao Bing of Luohai was still seen by me personally, but the situation was not very good, although they did not refuse to send troops, but how long has it been, they have not even assembled their troops!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Shenxuan stood up directly and said with a calm face: "I'm afraid this matter is not simple."

Fang Zhicheng was also worried: "Yes, although we haven't found evidence yet, judging from these circumstances, there must be a big feudal town behind the interference, otherwise there will definitely be no such change in Hetai County or several other counties." ”

Speaking of this, Fang Zhicheng wanted to speak again and again, and finally said: "The headquarters has deduced that once the situation continues to deteriorate, I am afraid that there will be drastic changes in Nanzhou!" ”

Fang Zhicheng was also helpless at this time: "You also know the situation in our counties in Nanhai Prefecture, and it is scattered. ”

"In the past, we Nanzhou Bank coordinated with the counties, so that we could barely compete with the states, otherwise when Yuan Yonghan came over two years ago, our Nanhai Prefecture would have already fallen into the hands of Yuan Yonghan."

"But once our Nanzhou Bank can't control the situation in the whole state, and can't coordinate the counties to form a coalition to fight against the outside world when the big feudal towns in other states invade, what will happen at that time, Brother Wu, you should be able to predict it."

Wu Shenxuan was silent after hearing this.

After a while, he said: "In this situation, we can no longer drag the mud and water, we must quickly deal with the situation on the river platform, and the other wavering counties must also be suppressed, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

At the same time, in the Luo'an County Guard's Mansion, Jian Minggang also saw a secret messenger.

The secret messenger said: "Lord Jane, our Nanhai Prefecture has been in turmoil for nearly twenty years, and the three Luohai County Wardens, including the former Luo'an County Warden, have a total of four adults who want to reorganize the mountains and rivers and unify Nanhai Prefecture, but in the end they all failed!" ”

"Why?"

"The county's finances are all in debt, and most of the counties have to account for more than half of the fiscal revenue when they repay the interest on the loan every year, you must know that our Nanhai Prefecture is the second largest state in the world, and the financial income of the county was second only to Jingzhou fifty years ago, and the people were rich, but why are the people living poorly now, and the financial revenue of the counties cannot even be repaid?"

"Why?"

"It's all because of those greedy vampires at the Bank of Southern State!"

"They completely annihilated humanity for money, using loans and ordnance to loot the last copper plate without a bottom line, in order to make money, these vampires even hindered the unification of our Nanhai Prefecture, and now they are planning to divide the counties one by one!"

"If it weren't for their Nanzhou Bank, you would have unified the entire Luo'an County last year, and even hoped to take down Guang'an County, but now Luo'an County is still divided!"

"Who is responsible for all this?"

Jian Minggang's pale face seemed expressionless, but he spit out word by word: "Nanzhou Bank!" ”

The young envoy said: "My county guard has already contacted all the adults, whether it is Lord Shao Bingshao of Luohai, or Lord Du of Guang'an, Lord Song of Hexi, and the nine counties of Nanhai Prefecture, we have sent people to contact them!" ”

"It's time to pull down the vampire that sits on our heads, and tear it up completely!"

"Nanhai State is our Nanhai State, not those vampire Nanhai States!"

"Moreover, once you kill Nanzhou Bank, not to mention the confiscated income, the most important thing, the money owed to Nanzhou Bank will not have to be repaid, my lord, do you say it!"

At this time, Jian Minggang stood up, pushed open the window, and a deep voice came: "Hmph, why should you pay back the money you borrowed with your ability?" ”
