Tian Chou was about to say something, but he heard Liu Yin continue: "In addition, the tax rate of peasant landlords will be reduced, and when Wenjing was in power, the tax burden was twenty taxes and one, and now the tax rate in Youzhou will be changed to one hundred taxes." "

When Tian Chou heard this, he put down his heart and thought: The lord is really considerate of the people, so that the people of Youzhou will no longer work as hard as before.

Who knew that when Jian Yong heard this, as if he had never heard of it and had never seen it, he was so shocked that even his eyes fell to the ground, Jian Yong arched his hand and said loudly: "Lord, no." The strength of a country is based on taxation. With such a light tax reduction, the people will live comfortably, but Youzhou's finances will continue to be in deficit, and they will not be able to support the army at that time, and they will naturally not be able to resist the continuous intrusion of other princes. "

"Youzhou will become a piece of fat that everyone can see. Jian Yong said in a very anxious tone, as if he had seen the future of Youzhou's rich people and weak soldiers, and a worried look appeared on his face.

In his heart, the lord managed the city like this, and sooner or later there would be a big problem.

Tian Chou was also awakened by Jian Yong's words, and he immediately admonished: "The lord is sympathetic to the people, and governs Youzhou with benevolence and virtue, it is good to have a good intention, but no matter how rich the people are, they still need the court to protect them, if the court loses the ability to defend itself, then it is the people who suffer in the end." Lord, don't miss the overall situation for the small people's small profits. "

Tian Chou's tone was quite sincere, and it seemed that he was also a little anxious to make such a "unkind" remark from a benevolent person like him.

Liu Yin smiled slightly: "What you said is right, but you can't help but be short-sighted, this Youzhou City is my final say, you should do what I say for the time being." "

Although Liu Yin said without hurry, his tone was categorical and domineering, and he did not allow others to question it in the slightest.

The lord is just a teenager, and he has such a decisive momentum, not to mention Youzhou, even if the affairs of the world are just cooking a pot of small fresh food in his eyes.

At this moment, they were deeply shocked by the momentum on the lord's body. Somehow, all their thoughts disappeared, and at this moment their minds were confused, so they had to reluctantly reply: "What the lord said is true." "

Liu Yin smiled confidently.

Early the next morning, Liu Yin woke up very early, but saw that it was freezing outside, with snow drifting for thousands of miles, and a piece of silver was wrapped in plain water, which was extremely enchanting.

Liu Yin slowly paced around the general's mansion, admiring the snowy scene. I saw that the servants who were sweeping the snow in the mansion were all respectful to him, and when he passed by, he called out respectfully: "Hello young master." Liu Yin couldn't help but feel proud.

It seems that he is now a prince who holds a lot of power, he sits in the military town of Youzhou, and now he has the power of life and death, everyone has to listen to him, this feeling is really wonderful.

Just thinking about it, Liu Yin unconsciously walked to the door of the general's mansion, and suddenly heard the voices of people outside the mansion, Liu Yin looked up, but saw that the street outside was bustling, and there were all people standing.

Exactly, they are not standing, but in a hurry. Among these people, some are villagers from the next village, some are traveling merchants from other places, and many of them are small vendors I saw on the street yesterday.

I saw that some of the villagers were carrying a simple cloth bag, and some were carrying a burden on their shoulders, with all kinds of agricultural and sideline products and vegetables at both ends of the burden, and some were pushing a one-wheeled tricycle wooden cart, which was full of dried herbs, animal skins, dry firewood, and so on.

I saw the crowd pushing and shoving forward, and everyone showed excited expressions on their faces, as if they had encountered some great joy that was rare in a thousand years.

I heard a farmer carrying a cloth bag saying to another man carrying a burden: "Hey, have you heard? There is a new market in the west of Youzhou City, and they say that as long as you buy and sell goods, you can get a free stall in that market." "

The man carrying the cloth bag said: "I have heard about it for a long time, and I only charge 10% of the commercial tax when I trade in that market." No, I've already loaded all the remaining agricultural and sideline products in my family into the car, and I'm ready to resell them recently to make a profit. "

"It's a great event. In the past, when we did business, we always had to secretly set up a stall on the street, and from time to time we had to beware of those officials and men who were still checking and were worried all day long. "

"It's hard to earn some money, it's not to honor the governor's lord, or to pay a particularly heavy business tax, I heard that two days ago my second uncle who has been in business for many years really can't hold on, and went home to farm. "

The other person pointed to the front with a smile and said, "Look, isn't that your second uncle?"

The speaker looked at it, and sure enough, it seems that even the old man who abandoned business and farmed has come to the city to sell goods, and the future business prospects of Youzhou are promising!

Everyone seemed to listen to their conversation, and they quickened their pace one by one, for fear that they would not be able to grab the stall if they went late.

And the owners of the rouge shops, herb shops and other stores on the side of the road also heard the news, and they didn't even wash their faces, put on makeup, or dress properly, so they stood at the door and looked blindly.

Seeing that the small vendors in the outer villages were carrying packages to the west of the city, the shopkeepers scratched their ears and cheeks, all like red-faced monkeys.

They were originally wealthy people, and they bought a store and usually sold some goods in the store. But it is precisely because of the storefront that it has to bear heavier business taxes. Now that I heard that the new General Liu promulgated such a good policy in Youzhou a few days ago, why didn't they hurry to burn in their hearts, just like a soot stove, their eyes were red and their hearts were hot.
