Arrogant General Hard To Pursue

On a field, many soldiers in military uniforms are farming.

Ye Tamo looked at the soldiers. They should have killed the enemy on the battlefield, but now it's not impossible to sweat so much for military food.

Standing beside the Lord, Zhao Mo couldn't help sighing: "soldiers are soldiers. They are always better command than the people. Now they have been able to organize the fields in such a standardized way that they must be able to harvest a lot of grain in autumn. "

Think about it carefully. Ye Tanmo thinks that if the military grain can be self-sufficient, can the people's taxes be reduced again?

After understanding the Lord's idea, Zhao Mo hurriedly said that he couldn't, because this year, it's almost half a year. It's estimated that he will have to economize on food and clothing in the second half of the year in order to maintain the operation of the whole Yongzhou.

Hearing Zhao Mo say this, ye Tanmo felt a little strange. After all, he had to send a lot of silver from the whole Jieshan, including Qian Qing's home. How could he be so short of money so soon.

With a sigh, Zhao Mo said, "but we spent a lot of money on military maintenance, including a lot of ground repair and other things for the whole six months. In addition, in order to restore the prosperity of Yongzhou in the past, we try to increase business exchanges, but these still need money to support. "

When you think about it carefully, ye Tanmo thinks it is really a big expense. After all, the bandits may not have to pay them, but other materials for paving roads will be taken out by the general government.

Let the Lord not worry. Zhao Mo said that these things have been almost completed. In fact, the good thing is that there may be no place to spend money next. Moreover, Zhao Mo also felt that if he casually reduced or exempted taxes for the people, it was likely to attract people from other places to settle in Yongzhou. Later, there were too many outsiders in Yongzhou, so I'm afraid it would be difficult to manage.

When ye Tanmo heard Zhao Mo say this, he suddenly remembered a big problem. After all, he is only a yong king. If there are too many people lamenting their kindness and making people yearn elsewhere, I'm afraid it will also attract the fear of some people.

Seeing the Lord pondering, Zhao Mo stopped talking.

In fact, ye Tamo is not particularly familiar with these so-called literati political affairs. After all, he came from a military general. Ye Tan Mo asks Zhao Mo what to do with taxes if he thinks so. "

Hearing the Lord's inquiry, Zhao Mo said: "these taxes still have to be collected, and according to a more reasonable system, it's best to collect them according to the requirements of the imperial court. If so, once there is any problem, our government can also take out money to solve it. If we stop taxes casually because of one thing, although the people can get temporary joy, it will be difficult for the government to solve sudden problems. "

Ye Tanmo said, "Zhao Qing's words are reasonable."

Hearing that the Lord recognized his idea, Zhao Mo was excited for a moment and then said: "in fact, it is reasonable to exempt the tax for this year. After all, they have just experienced the chaos of bandits and need to recuperate. But when they slow down next year, they can actually pay taxes. There is no need to reduce their taxes. After all, once the burden has been reduced for too long, in which year the government suddenly needs money. If they want to reach out to the people, they may not give it. "

After a careful analysis of Zhao Mo's words, ye Tamo thought he was really a qualified political official, so he asked him about his current tax collection system.

With a smile, Zhao Mo said that the current tax collection system is based on the number of adults in the family, but he also considered the family situation and other issues. In fact, although it is a little troublesome, it is the most reasonable for the people.

Since it was good, ye Tanmo didn't continue to ask. Anyway, Zhao Mo and Li Lei will deal with these things for themselves.

However, Zhao Mo mistakenly thought that the Lord wanted to understand clearly, so he went on to say: "in the past, taxes were collected only according to the number of adults. In that case, whether your family has money or no money, the taxes paid are the same. For the rich, it may be nine cattle and one hair, and for the poor, it may be a huge sum of money. But now considering a lot, those rich people may pay more. Anyway, there is nothing for them; The poor are relatively few, which can also give them a chance to breathe. It is said that the new minister of household proposed this method. The first good decision made by the Minister of household was to adjust taxes. The lower official really wanted to visit the Shangshu. I don't know how he thought of these methods at that time. "

Instead of answering Zhao Mo's words, ye Tamo just walked slowly to the newly built barracks.

Zhao Mo hurried to keep up with the Lord. He didn't know when the Lord wasn't listening to him and left directly.

A commander stood by and commanded. It was not worth going forward to help the recruits cultivate.

When ye Tanmo saw the commander's skillful movements, he asked him to come forward and answer.

The commander was stunned for a moment and saw that the LORD was obviously not slowing down. After all, how could a man with a military rank like him have the opportunity to answer the Lord?

When the commander was in a daze, ye Tanmo asked him how the soldiers here did.

Stunned for a moment, the commander quickly said, "everyone is working hard. Don't worry, Lord. After all, it's to earn their own rations. They don't dare to slack off. Moreover, these cultivation are relatively easier than training. "

Nodding, ye Tanmo asked the commander if he would do these farm work. After all, his movements were very skillful.

With a silly smile, the commander said that he was originally a child from a peasant family. He had been doing these farm work when he was young, so he was more skilled. Originally, he wanted to go directly to the field to cultivate, but general Xue asked him to command the soldiers well. Instead of being able to work hard, he made others don't know what to do.

Indeed, ye Tanmo said, "since Xue San asked you to take them alive, you can't just be busy with your own work. Otherwise, can you finish so many fields by yourself? Still want to be a good leader. "

When he saluted the Lord, the commander remembered that he had forgotten to salute the Lord.

I don't know why this man is so naive. Ye Tan Mo asked him to do his own work. Ye Tanmo thinks it's OK to walk around with Zhao mo.

The commander was not polite at all when he heard the king's words, so he ran to one side and continued his command.
