"Okay, General, I'll go to the conscription tomorrow, and when we finish the conscription, we will continue to collect their taxes." The captain of the guard thought that Qin Yan was playing a routine.

Qin Yan shook his head: "No, no, no, what I said is true, I really want to exempt them from taxes for three years." ”

Qin Yan's tax exemption was to recruit more soldiers, after all, Shi Renzheng could win the support of the people more than tyranny, so that the people were willing to pay for the ruler.

Hearing Qin Yan say this, the captain of the guard widened his eyes in disbelief, if Qin Yan did this, then the taxes of the General's Mansion would not have any income in the past three years, and they could only maintain the operation of the General's Mansion through some industries under their control.

The captain of the guard felt that Qin Yan was doing this too well for the common people, and when he was on an errand under General Ji before, General Ji was trying to raise taxes.

"Do you think I'm too good to the people?" Qin Yan said with a smile.

The captain of the guard nodded: "General, it's not just too good, it's so good that it's useless." I don't understand why you're doing this. ”

"You'll know later, okay, you go down!" Qin Yan then let the captain of the guard leave.

If he wanted to compete with the Marquis of Jian'an for the throne, Qin Yan could only rely on the people of the two cities, because he had no one above, so he could only implement benevolent government and let everyone support him.

A few days later, the captain of the guard actually recruited nearly 5,000 elite soldiers, which the captain of the guard never expected, in the past, it would be good for them to catch two or three thousand strong men, but this time they actually recruited 5,000.

You must know that these five thousand are all for yourself, but this is also related to the fact that Qin Yan promised a lot of benefits, if a disciple joins the army, the family will continue to be exempted from taxes for two years, and the soldier himself will also receive a very high salary.

This was simply impossible before, and in the past, whether it was General Ji or General Yao, they didn't give a penny to the soldiers when they caught them, because they felt that it was a matter of course for the soldiers to serve them.

Three months passed quickly, and Qin Yan's strength had been promoted to the middle stage of the Heavenly Immortal because of his dual cultivation with Wanjun, but Qin Yan found that the effect of his cultivation in the future would be greatly reduced, and he wanted to be promoted to the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal in a short period of time, not three years, at least two years.

Fortunately, Qin Yan's current strength is the same as that of Jian'an Hou, and the only thing he lacks now is the army.

Jian'anhou now has a total of thirty or forty thousand troops, and Qin Yan only has twenty-three thousand soldiers counting the newly recruited soldiers, and Jian'anhou has another general to support him, although counting that general, the total number of Jian'anhou's army will reach more than forty thousand.

Qin Yan now misses the small world very much, at that time he ruled five worlds, and he had as many troops as he wanted, so he didn't have to worry at all.

Suddenly, one day Qin Yan was practicing in the garden, and the captain of the guard came in a hurry: "General, it's not good, I heard that Jian'an Hou seems to be very dissatisfied with you and wants to attack you." ”

"Oh, who did you listen to?"

"Hearsay, but the so-called no wind and no waves, I think Jian'anhou really wants to attack the general, the general thinks about it, you have now taken Wanjun, and Wanjun's father is Jian'anhou's sworn enemy, and secondly, the general now occupies two cities, which has threatened the status of Jian'anhou, and he will definitely attack the general."

Qin Yan nodded, and said to the captain of the guard: "Your analysis is very reasonable, but it's a pity that we are not suitable for dealing with Jian'an Hou now, so let's do it, you bring some gifts to visit Jian'an Hou tomorrow, just say that I am loyal to him and have no second thoughts." ”

Qin Yan did this to paralyze Jian'anhou, at least to make him not do anything to himself for a short time.

Once he has accumulated enough strength, without Jian'an Hou making a move, Qin Yan will do it to him.

The captain of the guard nodded, "Okay, General, but what gift should I take to see him?" ”

The captain of the guard was a little reluctant to give up those treasures.

Qin Yan smiled and said, "Take out all our best things and give them all to Jian'anhou." ”

"Huh? What the? Give it all to him? The captain of the guard was a little unhappy, not to mention the best things, even ordinary treasures were not willing to give them to Jian'an Hou.

"Willing, willing, giving up first to get, how can you get it in the future if you don't give up now." Qin Yan smiled and enlightened the captain of the guard.

But the captain of the guard was still a little unhappy.

Qin Yan continued: "You should think like this, our things are just temporarily kept by Jian'anhou for a period of time, and when we take Jian'anhou down, those treasures still belong to us." Do you understand? ”

Hearing Qin Yan's words, the captain of the guard nodded, finally untying the knot in his heart.

"Okay, I'll go."

Qin Yan nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Early the next morning, the captain of the escort left.

Wanjun stood in front of the window and looked at the back of the escort team and said, "Brother Yan, I'm really sorry to make you feel embarrassed because of me again." ”

Wanjun also knew that Jian'an Hou targeted Qin Yan this time, and there was a reason for her.

Qin Yan smiled and said, "Wanjun, even if there is no you this time, Jian'an Hou will do something to me, mainly because I threaten his position." ”

In fact, there is no way to do it, when a person's status reaches a certain level, whether he wants to or not, there are always things that will push him forward.

Wanjun didn't quite understand Qin Yan's words, she was still young after all.

Qin Yan saw Wanjun's blank expression and said, "You will understand later." Okay, you hurry up and go to practice! Strive to be promoted to the peak of Tianzun as soon as possible. ”

Wanjun nodded obediently, turned around and left.

As soon as Qin Yan sat down, a guard's voice sounded outside the door: "General, general, it's not good, we have a vicious incident here." I hope you can come forward to solve it! ”

Qin Yan opened the door and walked out, and asked curiously: "What kind of vicious incident does it require me to come forward to solve?" ”

"General, it's like this, there are two outsiders outside the door, and they want to challenge you by name, saying that you killed their friend Qin Yan."

Hearing the guard's words, Qin Yan was stunned.

I still have friends here, I don't have any friends except Wanjun, wait a minute, could it be that someone from the small world is here?

Thinking of this, Qin Yan's heart was extremely excited, he never expected that in less than a year, someone would be promoted to the peak of Tianzun and come to the big world.

"Let's go, follow me and see." Qin Yan didn't care about putting on his coat, and immediately followed the guard to the door.

At the door of the General's Mansion, Qin Yan saw several offerings lying on the ground. They obviously couldn't beat each other, and they all lay on the ground.
