Lin Ziran expanded his armaments and warfare, and frequently conducted various training and exercises, and even organized tens of thousands of troops to conduct large-scale live-fire exercises in the vicinity of Qingshan Town and Sanyang Town.

These things can't be hidden.

Even though Lin Ziran deliberately kept it secret, he did not reveal any detailed plans to the outside world, or even to his subordinates, but only instructed the troops to form a new Fourth Infantry Regiment and expand the two mixed regiments into real mixed regiments, so that the troops could train more and conduct frequent live-fire exercises.

However, many people can still guess what Lin Ziran wants to do through the detailed movements of the Sixth Division.

Lin Ziran is about to start a war!

This can be seen by the generals under his command, and Li Kun, Jian Minggang, Zhao Song, Li Dingjun and even Du Zhikuan outside can also judge from these clues that Lin Ziran is unwilling to be lonely and wants to make trouble.

Although they didn't know where Lin Ziran was going to do something and when they were going to do something, they were very sure that Lin Ziran was going to make trouble.

When Lin Ziran himself didn't even think that Wu Guanlin, Luo Mazi and other subordinates revealed their strategic plans, outsiders had already guessed that Lin Ziran was going to make trouble, this was not a problem of intelligence leakage, but purely the vast majority of strategic intelligence, and there was no need for spies to spy at all, and it could be guessed directly through many normal affairs.

Unless you go to engage in some super-large-scale strategic deception!

But even if you engage in strategic deception, the other feudal towns will not believe that Lin Ziran is a harmless little white rabbit.

Everyone is a feudal town, and their minds can be said to be transparent to each other, because they are essentially the same kind of people, and they don't have to guess what others think, they just need to think about what they will do when they are in this perspective, and then they can generally guess what their opponents will do.

Of course, this is only a strategic choice, and as for the detailed tactical choice, it is different.

When Lin Ziran was training in military warfare, he didn't expect to be able to hide from other feudal towns.

However, even if they guessed that they wanted to do it, they didn't know who they wanted to do it to and when.

Don't talk about others, in fact, even Lin Ziran himself doesn't know who to do it to now, and when to do it.

He could only give himself an approximate time, that is, after the Fourth Infantry Regiment was formed and the 20,000 troops were fully loaded, that was the time to send troops.

As for who to fight and how to fight, it depends on the situation at that time and carefully analyzed and studied.

Because the situation in Luo'an County and even in the entire Nanhai Prefecture is constantly changing, even if he decides to start a war with Jianminggang today, the situation will change in a few months, and when the time comes, he will suffer a loss if he fights Jianminggang.

Therefore, Lin Ziran didn't decide who to do it to and when to do it.

He just decided to get his hands dirty!

That's all!

And before the start, the only, the most important thing is to reorganize the army, as long as you have 20,000 fully loaded troops under your hands, no matter how you choose at that time, you will have the confidence.

Therefore, Lin Ziran did not care about the changes in the situation outside at all, but devoted himself to the armament war.

In order to recruit enough soldiers as soon as possible, but also to let the soldiers fight for themselves willingly, in order to let the people under their rule truly support their external expansion and even unify the entire Luoan County.

After much consideration, Lin Ziran issued a 'tax restriction order' in the name of the county guard in December.

As soon as this tax restriction order was issued, it instantly caused almost all the people in the twenty-two towns under Lin Ziran's rule to boil!

Even the people in the surrounding counties are paying close attention to this, and they are full of yearning for Lin Ziran's rule!

Because according to this tax restriction order, the 22 towns under Lin Ziran's rule will completely cancel many miscellaneous taxes in the Cheng Lingfeng era, such as 'unified tax', 'tax on increasing production per acre', 'marriage tax', 'tax on farming horses', 'tax on supporting the army' and many other messes, just by looking at the name, you can know that there are dozens of taxes that came from chaos.

Although the amount of each of these miscellaneous taxes is not high, there are many types, and they add up to a large number.

After the tax restriction order was issued, that is, at the beginning of the 51st year of Yongchang, the people under Lin Ziran only needed to pay the normal taxes during the unification period of Daheng and cancel all miscellaneous taxes.

Among them, the most important tax on peasants will only be levied from now on, and all other taxes on increasing production, water conservancy fees, taxes on ploughing horses, and unified taxes will be abolished.

Lin Ziran had read the report sent by the tax office of the county guard yamen, and there were more than 20 miscellaneous taxes for the peasants alone, and even more for the industry and commerce.

As for the most important agricultural tax, the proportion was very high, and all of them could even exceed 70 percent; 50 years ago, when there was no civil strife in Daheng, there was only one kind of tax that the peasants needed to pay, and that was the tax on the acres of land.

The tax per mu of Dahengtian in that year accounted for about 30% of the land output of the current year.

This tax rate may not seem low at first glance, but you must know that in the past, Daheng farmers or family farmers only had to pay agricultural taxes, not taxes, and there was no forced labor or anything like that.

At the same time, the farmers of Daheng generally own a large amount of land, and they planted a lot of land, and the income left after paying taxes is actually very considerable.

However, this situation changed during the Hengao War, when in order to maintain the war, a war tax of about 10 percent was levied, which was relatively normal.

Although it also has a certain impact on life, it still does not shake Daheng's family farm economic system.

But as the war continues, especially the cost of war in the new era, it becomes more and more expensive, and when a war costs tens of billions, everything completely collapses.

At that time, Daheng's annual financial income was only a few hundred million, and as a result, tens of billions of dollars were spent on a Heng Olympic war, and he did not receive any war reparations and other benefits.

After the war, in order to repay the huge amount of war loans, Daheng continued to levy a 10 percent war tax, and directly raised the standard of the tax per acre, from 30 percent to about 40 percent.

Added together, the tax per mu has actually reached the standard of 50 percent, which is already relatively high.

But to be honest, because the farmers of Daheng generally have more land, even if the taxes are so heavy, they can still live, and it will definitely not be said that they will not have enough to eat.

But the farmers of Daheng are not happy!
