Yes, what Jian Yong said is very reasonable, although he needs to win the hearts of the people, but at the moment of the great enemy, conscription and military spending are still difficult to solve.

How can this be good?

Liu Yin had a flash of inspiration, the population is needed for conscription, and he moved the villagers of Beizhang Village to other towns a few days ago, and now it is not just right to be connected to Youzhou City, and with the population, there will be tax revenue and economic vitality.

Thinking of this, Liu Yin hurriedly instructed Zhao Yun, who was standing aside: "Zilong, you go and help me move the villagers who moved to Fengping Town a few days ago to the city, allocate two thousand troops to you, and go back quickly." "

Zhao Yun got the order and went down.

The next thing is military spending, after all, recruits need to be paid, how can this be good?

Liu Yin was thinking about it, when Jian Yong suddenly said: "My lord, your subordinates have a way to stop fighting with that alien race." "

"Youzhou is located on the border, and the reason why the ethnic minorities often plunder is nothing more than the lack of materials for the nomads, and now they only need to fight with each other and trade with them, so as to solve the problems of both sides and maintain peace on the border. "

Jian Yong's words hit Liu Yin's heart: Since taxes are to be reduced, it is very important to develop Youzhou commerce.

Suddenly, Liu Yin seemed to think of something, and muttered to himself: "Commerce, now is the Han Dynasty, it seems that the Han Dynasty did not appear in the market, right?"

Jian Yong and the others listened to the lord's muttering, and couldn't help but be a little confused: "Market, what is that, why have I never heard of it?"

It turned out that in ancient times, the feudal rulers did not attach importance to commerce, believing that those who engaged in business were humble and lowly, so there was no specific commercial area in the city before the Tang and Song dynasties, which severely limited the development of commerce.

When Liu Yin thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud: It seems that history is going to change again because of Liu Yin.

Immediately afterwards, he instructed Jian Yongtian and the others: "Is there any vacant land in Youzhou City?"

Tian Chou knew Youzhou well, and said: "There is a piece in the west of the city, and there are no residences, mainly because in recent years, Gongsun Chan has been reckless, and the original people have moved away. "

Liu Yin nodded and said, "You guys take me to see it first." "

As he spoke, Tian Chou led the way, and the three of them went out of the general's mansion.

I saw a lively and prosperous scene outside the door, with houses, restaurants, shops, etc., and there were vendors selling along the street.

Liu Yin saw this, not only shook his head: It seems that urban management problems will arise in any dynasty.

These rouge shops, herb shops, restaurants and the like are all commercial land in the core business district of Youzhou, as long as the shops, they naturally do not worry about taxes, but these small vendors are not, in the 21st century there are vendors and chengguan wits and courage, in the Han Dynasty but also so.

Most of these vendors are villagers from neighboring villages or residents of the city, because they have some surplus materials at home, so they take them out and sell them, which is not fixed at all, so they cannot collect taxes and cannot manage, and it will also cause the streets to be cluttered and garbage everywhere at night.

Sure enough, the three of them were wandering the street when they saw a few people in patrol clothes coming out of the end of the road. I saw that those people were wearing a big knife at their waists, wearing a pair of official boots on their feet, and wearing blue or red official robes on their bodies, and they looked extremely majestic when they walked, as if they were the black bosses on the street.

I saw that those small vendors saw these patrols, all of them were like mice seeing cats, all of them hurriedly panicked, some hurriedly squatted down to exert their strength, and wanted to push away their carts full of fruits, some packed up the big umbrella for shade, resisted on their shoulders, and their right hands were still aimless, hurriedly took their goods from a temporary platform and carried them into the bag, and some directly picked up the colored cloth spread on the ground, made a package, and pretended to be a package, as if they were a merchant who was on a long journey.

Those patrols made things difficult everywhere, shouted when they saw this house, and blamed them when they saw that house, and for a time made the chickens and dogs jump on the street, and some of them were slower, so they had to pay fines, and they thought they were unlucky.

Liu Yin looked at this, then frowned, and said to Tian Chou: "Is it like this on weekdays?"

Tian Chou said helplessly: "These vendors are farmers from nearby villages or some traveling merchants who have no storefronts, and they have to do business on this street, but it is difficult to manage, so the situation is a little more embarrassing now." "

Liu Yin said: "It's not just embarrassing, how can business develop well in such an environment?"

"Not to mention that those people came all the way to the city to sell things, and now they have to go back. Those patrols are all arrogant, and they don't collect less money on weekdays, but they just turn a blind eye to those who give money, and drive away those who are not filial. "

Tian Chou and the others said with embarrassment: "What the lord said is true, but this is also something that cannot be helped." "

Liu Yin said: "Why can't I do it, I have a way." "

Tian Chou and the others looked at each other: What is the lord doing here?

Liu Yin said: "You come with me." "

The three of them ignored the chaotic scene and went straight to the clearing on the west side of the city.

Seeing a road separating two open spaces, Liu Yin looked at it, and it was almost the size of a football field.

Liu Yin waved his hand and said, "You go and do one thing." "

The two of them said respectfully: "But according to the orders of the lord." "

"You go to find two long sheds for these things, with logs as pillars and straw as roofs, so that they can protect them from rain, and then put thousands of stalls in this long shed, and tell the whole city that whoever trades and does business here will receive their stalls for free, and only collect one percent of the commercial tax. "

Jian Yong and the others listened, just like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and they were stunned.

You must know that the policy of this dynasty has always been a forty percent commercial tax, and in fact the purpose is to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, but even so, the commercial tax is very few, and the main part of the tax is still paid by the landlords and peasants.

Isn't this the complete failure to collect taxes? In order to maintain the army, the peasants will have to bear more burdens, and in this way, the people's will will not be greatly disappointed?

Thinking so, Tian Chou wanted to speak.
