Jiang Zhuo's agreement to reduce agricultural taxes made the two Wenchen breathe a sigh of relief.

For so long, all the Inhumans they had seen were self-interested, and they could vaguely feel that the Inhumans seemed to regard the world they were in completely virtual.

There is no mercy for the NPC residents, and all the animate ones seem to them to be able to kill and explode something. Therefore, this matter, which was not a big deal in Jiang Zhuo's opinion, would attract Chen Gong and Zhang Zhao to join forces.

They also thought of a lot of wording, such as the more people alive, the more agricultural taxes they can harvest in the future. For example, if the people are grateful to you and spread the name of your benevolence, it will not be easy to cause fierce protests among the local people in the future.

"If you add to the hard service, do you think about where the extra service personnel will be invested?"

After Jiang Zhuo asked, the two shook their heads together. has already made a wave of blood to his own boss, and of course the extra labor has to let the boss make up for the loss a little.

Although Jiang Zhuo wondered why these two people who should have a lot of ideas suddenly had no ideas. But they didn't make arrangements, and he did have the idea, "Let all the extra labor be devoted to dredging the river and digging the ditches."

I don't know how long the drought will last, and digging ditches earlier can also reduce some losses for the people. Moreover, it is easy to have major floods after a major drought, so make arrangements in advance to avoid floods after the drought and cause greater losses. ”

Chen Gong and Zhang Zhao both glanced at each other in surprise, and then Jiang Zhuo heard the system prompt him, and the loyalty of the two in front of him inexplicably rose by 2 points. Zhang Zhao has reached 98 points, and Chen Gong has also reached 87 points.

"The lord is wise!" The two of them bowed excitedly. Jiang Zhuo rolled his eyes, "My lord, I have always been so wise!" ”

Inexplicable, these two people took the wrong medicine today?

Jiang Zhuo, who was caught in the fear of the great flood in his previous life, didn't realize what the two people in front of him were thinking at all, but pulled them to the front of the map, "Newly dug ditch, I have a few priority requests.

First, it is necessary to give priority to digging around Poyang Lake, so that in the event of heavy rainfall, the ditch can quickly divert the surging water in Poyang Lake.

The second is to give priority to digging the ditch leading from the remaining water to the Wuyi Mountains, and in terms of the width and depth of the canal, at least ensure that the 100-stone boat can turn around on the water.

Thirdly, if there is something that can be done, we must open a waterway across the Wuyi Mountains so that our ships can go straight from Fuhu City to Jian'an County. ”

Soon the order was conveyed, and the only places where Jiang Zhuo's order could be effectively implemented were Poyang County, Yuzhang County, and Wuxing County of Jian'an County. Zhu Hao and Zhen Rong of Yuzhang County only had the influence of one county or even one county, and although there were powerful and powerful separatists in other places, they did not dare to resist Jiang Zhuo's reasonable orders.

The first step in reducing the agricultural tax is to reduce the agricultural tax from 50 percent to 40 percent in the next month. At the same time, the common people can reduce the agricultural tax exemption by one percent by serving one day a week. If you serve for four days, you are completely tax-free.

In the second step, in order to still obtain tax revenue after the tax cut, Chen Gong and Zhang Zhao began to suppress Haoqiang. Many wealthy families have appeared in their ancestors, and they have the power to exempt agricultural taxes.

It is precisely because of this that they frantically annex farmland and even persecute the people. For example, in Nanchang County, the fields of the entire county are in the hands of four or five powerful families, and as fertile land on the edge of Poyang Lake, there are more than 20,000 acres of fertile land, but the county town can hardly collect even a grain of rice in agricultural taxes.

Now taking advantage of the financial crisis on the side of Zhenrong and starting to shrink the troop activities, these powerful families in Nanchang County can also move.

Fortunately, there are no decent families on the boundaries of Poyang County and Yuzhang County, only Haoqiang who are not very popular, otherwise it will be really difficult to do. But even so, the consequences of Jiang Zhuo's beginning to attack Haoqiang are very serious, and the Yangzhou family is afraid that they will not support him so firmly in the future.

With two celebrity-level ministers working hard, Jiang Zhuo didn't need to worry too much about it at all. It is enough for him to be responsible for guarding the territory and expanding the territory.

"Wu Cang, please take a trip."

Jiang Zhuo sent Wu Cang to the northern part of Lujiang County to meet Cao Cao's sphere of influence to welcome the arrival of Cao Cao's envoy.

Before this, he had already controlled Zang Ba to speak to Cao Cao, talking about distant friendship and close attack. In other words, befriending Jiang Zhuo and planting a nail in Sun Ce's back. Because the battle of Guandu was coming, Cao Cao agreed to Zang Ba's proposal and sent an envoy to negotiate.

Official envoys between camps generally cannot teleport via post stations, but have to rush over. Jiang Zhuo didn't know what the meaning of such a setting was, maybe it was just to make it easier for hostile forces to intercept and kill the envoy team...

In the Marquis Mansion of Fuhu Township, Jiang Zhuo led Yangzhou Beijia Chen Palace, Zhang Zhao, who was actually a core high-ranking official like Sili Lieutenant, and a group of high-level officials from [Lingyun Palace] waited here for Cao Cao's envoy.

Xun Yu, the first person of the Yingchuan Xun family, is currently the first person in the whole service, Xun Wenruo in the Xun family.

Whether it is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are many famous and famous groups recorded. Like Eight Horses, Ma's Wuchang, Xun's Eight Dragons and the like, but the most awesome of them must be Xun's Sanruo, a real famous figure in the late Han Dynasty.

If Jiang Zhuo is asked to give Xun Yu an evaluation, he will be the first person among the pure Wenchen in the [Three Kingdoms]! In this game, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Sima Yi and others are all strategists and are good at battlefield schemes, but Xun Yu is the absolute first person in internal affairs.

"Peerless... It's a pity..."

Jiang Zhuo sighed secretly in his heart, but he took a few steps forward and bowed to Xun Yu, "Xun Lingjun!" ”

"Jiangyangzhou!" Xun Yu also returned the salute meticulously, he was a staunch royalist, but he had extravagant hopes for Cao Cao. felt that he could rule the world by assisting Cao Cao, and finally returned to the emperor and supported the Han family.

However, he failed in history, and there are signs of dominating the world, but Cao Cao doesn't want to support the Han family.

I don't know if Xun Yu knows this now, if he does, will he switch to another camp? If he wants to switch to the vote, Jiang Zhuo feels that he has an advantage.

He is a player, and although it is cool and beneficial to be the emperor in the game, he is not a person from this world after all. It's just that in his previous life, until Jiang Zhuo was reborn, Xun Yu didn't change to the façade, so I guess I don't have a chance...

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they entered the Hou Mansion, and Jiang Zhuo took Xun Yu to his study for a private chat. As for the negotiations, they will be left to their respective deputies, after all, negotiations take a lot of time, and all kinds of details have to be debated one by one.
