Wang Junlin naturally wouldn't let these people raise taxes, but he didn't mention tax exemption, although he also had the intention to reduce the burden on the people, but he knew what Yang Guang cared about most at this time, and he couldn't do this kind of thing if he didn't find other channels to raise taxes a lot.

Wang Junlin looked at the people kneeling down in the hall, although the thirteen people introduced themselves just now, but there were too many people, and he couldn't remember what the name of this middle-aged man who was not good-looking was for a while.

Wang Junlin glanced at Du Ruhui, who understood that Lord Taishou did not remember the name and identity of the middle-aged man who took the lead in speaking, so he sat in front of the desk and said: "My lord, the lower official thinks that Zhao Xianzi's words are reasonable, and what Zhao Xianzi said is the sincerity of the thirteen clans in the three counties in the south, but the adult first came to Fanyang County, and the imperial court has used it very much in recent years, so the lower official thinks that there is no need to reduce or reduce the taxes of the three counties for the time being!" ”

"That's just as well!" Wang Junlin said with a smile, after being reminded by Du Ruhui, he remembered this Zhao Xianzi.

Thirteen nobles in the three counties in the south formed an alliance to jointly fight against the Lu family's monopoly on exclusive land annexation and various businesses, among which two are quite powerful, even in the entire Great Sui can be regarded as a medium-grade nobleman, one of them is the Zhao family, and the person who just took the lead in speaking is Zhao Zhanpeng, the contemporary head of the Zhao family, this person even has the title of a county prince, and it is said that there are relatives and friends in the center of the court as officials, and the official position is not low.

The most important thing is that this Zhao Zhanpeng is the 'brain' of the Thirteen Clans, and under the aggressive trend of the Lu Clan over the years, although the Thirteen Clans Alliance is at a disadvantage, it has always been able to keep its own interests, and to be able to do this, this Zhao Zhanpeng can be said to have made great contributions.

In the process of fighting, all kinds of open and secret battles with the Lu family were all from the hands of this person, and from this person who just took the lead in kneeling down to Wang Junlin and gave Wang Junlin a beautiful step down without embarrassment, it can be seen that this person has a unique vision, a cautious mind, and a scheming that is definitely not bad. Moreover, the heads of the other twelve families also knelt down after him, which shows that this person is in a leading position among the thirteen families, and he must not be underestimated. This has both advantages and disadvantages for Wang Junlin.

"Zhao Xianzi, please get up quickly." Wang Junlin personally walked down, first helped Zhao Zhanpeng up, and then said to the others kneeling in the hall: "Please also get up, your meaning is understood by the official, but don't mention this matter first, wait for the official to completely grasp Fanyang County."

It's never too late to talk about it later! ”

Xue Li next to him saw that the thirteen powerful nobles in the three counties in the south actually showed their intention to surrender to Wang Junlin, and he was shocked in his heart, thinking that when Wang Junlin had quietly subdued these thirteen families, he couldn't help but be a little worried that if the Lu family was really eradicated by Wang Junlin, he would bring out the matter of his dividends in the salt industry......

Without Sun Yang, the atmosphere of the banquet was more pleasant, and the banquet continued for more than an hour before it ended.

After Xue Li left first, Zhao Zhanpeng and the other twelve nobles came forward to say goodbye, Wang Junlin kept Zhao Zhanpeng and said: "This official has a good conversation with Zhao Xianzi tonight, and there is a feeling of hating to see each other late, and there is still some good tea in the house, I want to invite Zhao Xianzi to accompany this official to have a drink after the banquet?" ”

Zhao Zhanpeng's eyes flashed with light, but his face was full of smiles, and he said: "My lord is called, Zhanpeng is better than obeying his fate!" ”

……

……

"This towering tree of the Lu family has taken root in Fanyang County for thousands of years, it can be said that it is deep-rooted, it is easy for this official to cut down this tree, but it is difficult to dig out all the roots of this tree, can Zhao Xianzi teach me?"

The guests all said goodbye and retired, and Wang Junlin invited Zhao Zhanpeng, Du Ruhui, and Liu Ziming to the side hall to drink tea and talk, chatted a few words, and asked this sentence.

At this time, the tea was served with the perfume that had just arrived from the salt field with the Spring and Autumn Valley Lord today.

Zhao Zhanpeng saw that the perfume was not an ordinary maid, and it was bright and compelling, which was stunning, and thought that it was Wang Junlin's concubine, so he was very respectful.

"Zhan Peng has little knowledge, and he really doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of adults!" Zhao Zhanpeng sat down with the teacup in fear, and refused to say anything lightly.

Wang Junlin could see that Zhao Zhanpeng's sincerity was pretended, thinking of some things that Du Ruhui had advised himself in the past few days, knowing that since he had that ambition, some things that he once thought were hypocritical had to learn to do, he stood up and walked to Zhao Zhanpeng's case, bowed for a long time, and said: "This official is rude, and he treats Zhao Xianzi disrespectfully, but his pure heart is not reduced, and I implore Zhao Xianzi to teach me!" ”

Perfume insisted on serving tea while secretly looking at Zhao Zhanpeng's words and deeds.

Nie Xiaoyu once told Wang Junlin that Perfume has a very high mind, especially under Xiaoyu's conscious cultivation, and has strong analytical and reasoning skills

, and the details can be called a torch, Wang Junlin at tonight's banquet deliberately let her hide in the dark behind the screen, the performance of many people at the banquet are in the eyes, at this time Perfume saw his grandfather walked to Zhao Zhanpeng's case to ask for advice on the disciple's gift, sneering in his heart, just now this Zhao Zhanpeng behaved so respectfully at the banquet, and a look of surrendering to his grandfather, I think it was to see the purpose of the grandfather to deter and warn Xue Li through the banquet, but at this time, he pushed back and stopped, and he wanted to stop talking, presumably because he was proud of himself. I don't want to show my 'sword' easily, and this seems to be a common problem of talented people since ancient times.

Du Ruhui stroked his long beard under his chin beside him, squinting at Zhao Zhanpeng's performance, and also sneered in his heart, but Liu Ziming was a little stunned and dissatisfied with Yue Zhanpeng's inconsistent performance.

Wang Junlin knows very well that whether he governs Fanyang County or controls Fanyang County, the current top priority is naturally to eradicate the Lu Group, but the first thing to do next is to find a group of officials who can fill the positions of Fanyang County officials who have been eradicated because of the fall of the Lu Family. But if you want to say how complicated, it doesn't have to be complicated.

After eradicating the Lu clan, he will suppress a group of people according to the situation, win over and appoint a group of people who are willing to be loyal to him, and further divide the local aristocratic forces in Fanyang County, and the nobles must not be allowed to huddle together, even if it is an alliance like the thirteen families.

Fanyang County has been secretly controlled by the Lu clan for many years, even if Yang Guang knows it, there is nothing to do, the nobles of the thirteen counties in the south are okay to say, but most of the nobles of the other five counties are sensitive and fragile, and their minds are difficult to decide, it is not easy for Wang Junlin to gain their wholehearted trust, this situation does not change, and the plan conceived by Wang Junlin to save the lives of tens of millions of people at the end of the Great Sui Dynasty will be more troublesome to realize.

Therefore, after the fall of the Lu family, Wang Junlin needed a person who had some prestige in the local area, but the prestige was not too high, to be used by him, and to be his confidant, to gain his trust, and then to drive a group of local nobles, especially talented people in the nobility, to be used by him with peace of mind.

And Zhao Zhanpeng is very much in line with this condition, and he clearly expressed his support for him at the banquet just now, isn't it just right.
