"Finally, it didn't take much effort." Lu Qian was satisfied and threw down the public opinion survey compiled by the cabinet. From industry and commerce to agriculture, from internal consumption to export sales, a red and swaying number made him feel happy.

It was now June, and it had been a full month since the return of the army, and the summer tax had been collected smoothly, and the numbers made him happy. According to the report of the Espionage Division, Zhao Songwu moved the capital to Gangneung from one mind, and the states and counties on Gyeonggi Road were already messy. It made the spy department cheap, and the operation was smooth.

Similarly, the war in Jiangnan has once again reached a stalemate. The failure of the Manichaean reinforcement made the war in Taiping Prefecture fall into the control of the Western Army, the two important cities of Wuhu and Dangtu fell one after another, and many Manichaean generals were martyred, even Fang Yuan failed to break out of the encirclement. This Fang La's uncle died by self-immolation, but he was also heroic. Once the Western Army was victorious, the soldiers were full of horses, and the army's heart was boiling, so they took advantage of the victory to enter Jiangning Mansion. I wanted to make persistent efforts to win Jinling, but I was hit on the head!

The vanguard suffered a big setback, and the vanguard Liu Guangguo almost missed the formation, only because Fang La personally led the army and appeared in front of the army, which greatly boosted the morale of the Manichaean army. The Western Army was caught off guard, not to mention that their spirits were very high, but they were not necessarily strong from outside and cadres from the middle, and they were sleepy and lacking. And because it seems that the time has come to reap the fruits of the plan, even if he dares to fight and is belligerent, he may not be proud. Before the war, he was careless, and he was hit on the head.

The Song army was frustrated, and the battle situation seemed to be stalemate for a while.

Lu Qian was very happy when he saw it. If the Manichaean army was defeated after the defeat of the Battle of Taipingzhou, it was not what he expected.

Zong Ze was sitting opposite him, and there was a big iceberg in the room, and the air was cold in all directions, making the midsummer weather instantly cool.

After the summer tax ended, civil affairs were instantly relaxed. Although it is also an important matter to rush to plant soybeans after the wheat is harvested, it is not comparable to summer grain and taxes after all. This year, the land of Qilu has a bumper grain harvest, and the summer tax is 4 million stones.

This is an exaggerated number, but it is not outrageous.

Lu Qian is one out of ten, but this basic amount is not lower than one bucket per mu in the north of Zhao and Song Dynasty, or even higher. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, it is higher than the sky to take three liters per mu. But the peasants under Lu Qian's rule did not have to face the multiplicity of consumption. In particular, the transfer and transformation [mentioned above] have already benefited the people.

With such a small grain tax in the year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, he can still collect 30 million stone grains and rice, Lu Qian takes one out of ten, and sits on the land of Shandong, if he can't collect such a high amount, there will be a ghost.

It's just that these grains are stored in the grain depots of various states and counties, and if they want to gather them, they will have to be somewhat lost.

In addition, there were commercial taxes, wine taxes, salt taxes, tea taxes, deed taxes, mining taxes, customs duties, etc., counting three million one hundred and fifty-eight thousand seven hundred and forty-eight taels of money, three hundred and sixty-nine thousand six hundred and forty-three taels of silver, three thousand two hundred and fifty-eight taels of gold, five thousand four hundred and thirty-eight horses of silk, thirty-seven thousand eight hundred and sixty horses of silk, five thousand three hundred and thirty-three taels of silk, five thousand nine hundred and twenty-five taels of cotton, three hundred seventy-nine horses of silk, and three hundred and fifty-five horses of Luo.

In addition to this, there is fodder, labor, and so on.

It can be said unabashedly that this summer tax made the entire Lu Qi Wenwu relieved when he heard it. Not to mention the whaling matter, the income of the battalion was sent directly to Lu Qian's private treasury, which was also a large amount.

It is in response to the sentence that there is food in the hand and there is no panic in the heart.

Qilu is already like this, in the coming year, Huainan, northern Hebei, and Hedong land, have to pay taxes and teach grain, and King Lu, who has no shortage of money and food, really has no fatal shortcomings. He also examined himself, but after looking at it, he didn't have it.

After the twists and turns of last year, as well as the toss in the first half of this year, Hebei's natural vitality has been greatly damaged. Many displaced people have to be classified into their original places of origin one by one, including the newly entered Zhuozhou and Yizhou, not only can not collect taxes, but also have to fill in a lot first, and the pressure is not comparable to that of Qilu; Fortunately, Huainan will also be able to collect taxes and grain next year, and the pressure on money and grain will be reduced again.

Zong Ze had a few small dishes in front of him, and there was a wine jug on the side, and the wine cup was exhausted, especially the rich aroma of wine. This kind of shochu is like that, it has a strong aroma and is very comparable to wine. "Sure enough, it is a good wine, not inferior to Mai Zao."

But it is sorghum shochu that has been trial-made since last year. Sorghum is a traditional crop in China, but the yield is always low. Just because of drought tolerance, most of them are planted in barren fields, such as in the Liangshanbo period, sorghum was planted on Dazhai.

The latter does not have a high yield, but only has high added value. The sorghum grown in Qilu is all sweet sorghum, which can be used as a forage and sugar crop, and the sugar content in the sorghum stalk is very high, and livestock generally like to eat it. It can also make wine, and fiber can also make paper.

As early as after the Liangshan army swept Qilu, Zong Ze encouraged the cultivation of sorghum in the barren lands and those dry fields where it was difficult for the canals to send water.

And ask people to collect sorghum to make wine, who makes the price of sorghum low?

China has had distilled liquor since the Tang Dynasty, but the purity is not too high, and it is still insufficient in the Ming Dynasty in the official history, but King Lu is from later generations after all, and he still understands this thing of distillation.

The purity of Liang Shanjun's distilled spirits is increasing day by day, and the unit consumption of extracted alcohol is also decreasing. No one can say anything about the role of the latter in medical care, and the former is also very popular in the Liaojin trade.

Shochu is another highly sought-after commodity in the Northland. Whether it is the Khitan people of Liao State or the Jurchen people of Jin State, those people are addicted to alcohol, and they are willing to exchange a jar of wine for a horse. This is also the reason why Lu Qian and others know the importance of grain, and still use grain to make wine.

Honey can also be sterilized. The state capitals in various places bought it at a high price early, and for a time it made beekeepers become popular. However, in this day and age, the source and production of honey are really limited.

This thing seems to be more convenient than chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, but it is dangerous and can disturb neighbors. Therefore, in this era, don't think about asking people to breed bees on a large scale.

Also this year, Liang Shanjun expanded the army and many workshops and factories, and also increased foreign trade, and the prices of ironware, cloth, salt, etc., all showed a trend of rising prices.

The decrease in the quantity of textiles such as linen and silk has caused the price of cloth to rise a lot.

This can be regarded as a self-adjustment of the market, because everyone knows that cotton is more promising. However, it is not known how long it will take to wait until cotton cloth appears on a large scale in Shandong.

Because such items have been classified as military supplies, cotton cloth and cotton, the Liangshan Army opened up its income.

Cotton cloth can be used to make military uniforms, cotton can not only be used to make winter clothes, but also can be made into cotton armor, the latter compared to the garrison, the number is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't know how long it will take to fill up.

On the whole, the people of Qilu have recovered after a period of recuperation. Because a large number of young people entered the garrison, this move not only strengthened the relationship between Lu Qi and the people, but also benefited tens of thousands of military families through this matter.

The treatment of the garrison army is not comparable to that of the regular army, but it is much better than that of the market workmanship. This salary will not be just hidden in a clay pot underneath, they will become a daily need, and this is the economic market.

Therefore, Zong Ze is in a very relaxed mood, only looking at the land of Qilu, the tax and operation are already very good. In Lu Qian's words, it is to enter a virtuous circle. And with Qilu as the version, thinking of Huainan, Hebeibei, Hedong, and the whole world, if this is the case, then this world, this people, how cowardly, how happy!

Zong Ze is already the head of Lu Qian's subordinates, and he doesn't need to ask for this fame and fortune.

King Lu is also different from Liu Xuande, people don't need a military advisor to ask for their lives, they only need Xiao He to take care of their internal affairs. In this battlefield competition, decisive victory, who in the world can do better than him? Who else thinks that he is just a bandit leader and a mountain king, not a famous general in the world?

Who else?

At least Zong Ze is willing to bow down, and Wen Huanzhang doesn't need to mention it. Lu Qian has a little loyalty by his side.

In this way, Zong Ze has reached the pinnacle of his life, and it seems that he can only go with him, and stay up day by day until Lu Qian ascends the throne, regardless of whether he has already ruled the world at that time, he will be 'complete'.

But that's different now. He had a new pursuit, and Lu Qian invisibly pointed out a path for him, a higher pursuit. He is very excited, very willing, and very willing to fight for it.

"The summer tax situation is very good, and the autumn tax is the same. I intend to raise troops in late autumn and sweep the Central Plains. It is not necessary to march into Guanzhong, but to do a battle to the south. ”

Lu Qian's words had a different meaning, but Zong Ze understood as soon as he heard it: "The king is worried about the defeat of Manichaeism? "Late autumn, at least at the end of August, is two months away. Presumably, Zhao Song has already moved the capital, and the battle of Jinling has already had a result.

Lu Qian wants to go south to fight Zhao Song, that is, the army is approaching Jiangling, which is obviously to contain the western army. Naturally, in the battle of Jiangnan, he pulled up a bias frame and helped Fang La.

"It's mostly a routine of rivers and lakes and green forests, how can it be an opponent of the Western Army." That's what Lu Qian thinks, so naturally he won't deny it.

That Manichaeism can only be said to be much stronger than before, and it is naturally not timid compared to the forbidden army that I have long been rotten, but if it wants to compete with the Western army, it will inevitably be inferior.

Looking at the strategy of the Western Army, it is so obvious, but the people are pushing it to Jinling City step by step. Why? Just because they're strong!

One person is desperate, and ten people are not responsible. That's!

Didn't the Yellow Turban Army work hard back then? But hasn't he been crushed into powder by the elite soldiers of the big man?

When the difference in strength has exceeded a certain limit, desperately just send to death.

Compared with the Western Army, which is armed to the teeth, and compared with the Western Army, which is experienced in combat, they cannot support it, that is inevitable.

Rather than calling Manichaeism exhausted as quickly, Lu Qian still thought that they would be able to survive until this time next year.

To tell the truth, Liang Shanjun has reached this point, and Lu Qian's heart has weakened a lot to collect the afterglow of Manichaeism. It's nothing more than a group of people with strong martial arts, who really lead the troops to fight, and they are still close to the fire.

And it is very easy for this kind of person to get ahead in the army, and he trains them. Fighting more battles and going to more battlefields naturally makes it easier to produce talents than ordinary pawns. But the war is not endless, only the old brothers of Liang Shanbo, he is a little undercared for, so Li Ying has only now emerged, how can he cultivate Manichaean people? ()
