Douluo: My dear grandson, come quickly, Grandpa, I am Titled Douluo

Chapter 114 The territory borders the Jiuxin Haitang family
It's time for April.

Soto City, located in the plains, is gradually getting hotter.

Pedestrians on the road are all wearing light clothes.

Ye Tian in the city lord's mansion is no exception.

now.

Ye Tianzheng presided over daily meetings, mainly discussing the tax situation.

The first person to report was Li Ji.

"Business tax is not very ideal, especially for those large households, who are left-handed and right-handed. Obviously, the throughput of goods is huge every month, but when it comes to calculating the general ledger, they don't make any money, and some even lose money."

As soon as these words came out, the security captain sitting next to Aman said angrily:

"These big dog owners should have been brought under control long ago."

"Obviously, the tax is only one-tenth, which is much lower than under the previous Barak rule, and yet they are blatantly evading taxes."

Li Ji shook his head: "We can't use big tricks in governance. Our uprising and taking over Soto City will have a great impact on commerce and trade."

"Today, commercial trade has shrunk a lot and has not yet fully recovered to the transaction volume of five months ago."

Ye Tian raised his head and asked Zhang Gong: "Before we came to Soto City, how did Soto City collect commercial taxes?"

Ye Tian didn't want to focus on business taxes.

Because at present, the proportion of commercial taxes to fiscal revenue is extremely low.

Ye Tian's primary goal is to ensure the circulation of goods into the Soto City area.

Maintain price stability.

Secondly, it is to get businessmen accustomed to paying taxes.

Zhang Gong smiled and said: "Lord City Lord, I was just a prison manager before, so I don't know anything about taxation."

"You can find an official named Liu Chang. He was a tax collector in Soto City before. He is an encyclopedia-level figure in terms of tax laws."

"In order to make a living, I am still in our Soto city."

Ye Tian nodded and looked at Li Ji: "Such talents should be promoted. Li Ji, I will help you to go and evaluate them."

As a grassroots uprising team, the shortage of talents has always been the shortcomings of the rebels.

Although the official team cannot rely on recommendations from acquaintances.

But now, Ye Tian refuses no one who comes.

As long as you have some talent, Ye Tianjie can give him a space to display his talent.

Regarding the design of commercial taxation, Ye Tian does not want to go into too much detail for the time being.

The main reason is that they are afraid that orders will be changed overnight, which will affect the credibility of the rebel army.

Now the rebels have just started their uprising for half a year.

Still in the midst of conquering cities and territories.

When it comes to legal taxation, simpler is better.

Let the people in the jurisdiction adapt to the new rules first.

With this foundation in place, it’s not too late to slowly improve.

"I'll go and do it after the meeting is over." Li Ji sat down slowly.

As the territory expanded, the older Li Ji was already unable to handle government affairs.

If he has a capable assistant, he can better shine for the entire rebel army.

After discussing tax matters.

Next comes the military.

At Ye Tian's signal, Wu Feng spoke first.

Most of Wu Feng's men came from the Tiandou Empire and were a group of ruffians and desperadoes.

Therefore, their minds are more flexible than those of honest civilian soldiers.

He was sent out by Ye Tian to gather information and achieved very good results.

Wu Feng reported: "There are a large number of Balak civilians in the upper reaches of the Faba River, who are dredging the river. It is estimated that there are about 8 or [-] of these civilians."

After hearing this, the extremely young Jack, who was sitting at the bottom, reminded timidly:
"Lord City Lord, summer is coming. The Faba River will rise, and big ships will be able to sail by then." "Be careful of warships coming from the direction of the royal capital."

Ye Tian looked at Jack. In meetings, this young man always seemed a little reserved.

"This is indeed something that needs attention." Ye Tian nodded.

Before the uprising.

The food in Soto City was transported to the capital of Barak through the tributaries of the Faba River.

Therefore, there is no need to guess, Barak must have a fleet of ships that can carry huge cargo.

These goods can transport goods, and they can certainly transport soldiers.

"It seems that we have to deal with the enemy forces from the direction of the Royal Capital early." Aman sighed: "I have seen the map. The Royal Capital is located in the upper reaches of the tributary of the Faba River. It is along the river in the direction of Soto City. Down."

"We must stop Barak from cleaning up the river first." Ye Tian pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked Wu Feng: "Those civilians, where do they come from? How many soldiers are guarding them?"

"There are approximately more than [-] soldiers guarding it."

"The civilian husband should be recruited from the north of Barak. If you are more specific, I don't have exact information."

Wu Feng, who had a shaggy beard on his face, told the truth.

Ye Tian held his forehead.

Bingyouzi is indeed quick-thinking, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, he is reluctant to sacrifice his own strength and is unwilling to sacrifice his life.

Ye Tian stretched out his right hand and stretched out his two fingers.

"Two days, two days later, I want to get specific information."

Wu Feng did not dare to neglect and immediately agreed.

Ye Tian immediately made arrangements:

"Now that spring plowing has passed, militiamen from various places will gather for training in the next period of time."

Except for a few towns around Heishan Town, the site of the uprising, the militias in other places have basically not experienced any formal training.

This is not conducive to mobilization.

Aman said: "Recently, more than a hundred soldiers have been injured and retired from the regular army. I have arranged them into militia teams in various places."

"These soldiers have undergone rigorous training and are more than qualified to serve as militia coaches."

"That's good." Ye Tian looked at Ma Bangdang next to Li Ji: "During the training, we must ensure a good food supply."

Mabond smiled naively and said: "Lord City Lord, our Soto City is a granary. Don't worry, we will never deduct even a little bit!"

At this time, Zuo Ying, who had been silent, stood up, walked to the map, and looked at Ye Tian:
"Lord City Lord, I think we need to guard against threats from here."

The place Zuo Ying pointed to was called Haitang City, which was located in the north of Sotuo City, more than [-] miles away.

Zuo Ying said: "Haitang City is the territory of the Jiuxin Haitang family. They are inherited from the ancient 'Di San Sect'."

Zuo Ying is much more familiar with the history and characters of the soul master world than Ye Tian and others here.

She said eloquently: “The Jiuxin Haitang family has a long history and profound heritage.”

"Their inherited martial spirit, Jiuxin Haitang, is no worse than the Qibao Glazed Pagoda that has the 'first auxiliary martial spirit in the mainland' today."

"It's just that the martial spirit of Jiuxin Haitang is quite special. Only one person in a generation can possess it."

"Wouldn't that mean there is only one soul master? What's so scary about this?"

Aman, who was sitting on the seat, looked at Zuo Ying with some confusion.

Zuo Ying found it a little funny, but she held it back and patiently explained:
"Yes or no. For the Jiuxin Haitang family, Jiuxin Haitang can only inherit one person per generation, while the Jiuxin Haitang family only has one soul master."

"Such a gifted inherited martial spirit can bring an heir with profound cultivation to each generation of the Jiuxin Haitang family."

"You must know that the Jiuxin Haitang family has existed for thousands of years. With such a core heir as the link, the Jiuxin Haitang family has long been the largest sect in the Barak region and even the entire southern Tiandou Empire."

"So powerful?" Aman was surprised.

Zuo Ying smiled bitterly and said: "It can be said that if the Quefeng Sect faced the Jiuxin Haitang family, two Quefeng Sects would not be enough to fight."

Ye Tian stared at the map and frowned.

"This is a troublesome question."
