Duke Li was thinking about it. The details Zhang Wenbo mentioned were not much change except for the points that Wang Shouyi had to ask for, and the intention was soon reached.

The key is nothing more than making money, and nothing is a problem.

The city gate tax was abolished, just to attract merchants and people to enter the city to buy and sell, but these cannot be directly turned into money, so there is a need to collect commercial tax.

Thirty taxes were decided by Wang Shouyi. It needed the assistance of the city defense battalion. If the salary was paid, the tax collection and protection work would be done without guarding the city gate, so that the officers and soldiers would have an additional income. General Li immediately agreed.

Secondly, commercial district planning and professional vegetable markets are the first plan, and streets are not allowed to be sold.

Second, self-built restaurants, night markets, and new commercial areas.

Wang Shouyi was planning to play in real estate and business districts. He probably told Zhang Wenbo that he was shocked and nodded constantly.

Anyway, my 18-scented and green barbecue will follow in the back, leaving the best place for me.

The others are nothing more than strictly implementing the king's laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Those who are dissatisfied will suppress them by force. They either have a city defense camp, and pay wages are just doing this. They are also their responsibilities.

Bai Wenqi is quite good at making money. In addition to the three thousand-year-old fire dragon roots, in 20 years, there were 80,000 guan, plus 20,000 guan in the official treasury, so the money was not short of, and these plans were also realized with money.

But Xia County is Xia County, with a population of just over 100,000, and 90% are mountain villagers and farmers. In other words, hunting and farming professions, the tax collection is about 10,000 guan a year, and the average per capita is 100 copper coins. The city gate tax is about the same as this year, and the others are commercial tax and other miscellaneous taxes. This proportion is very high, accounting for half, but in terms of calculation, it is only a balance of income and expenditure, with a slight surplus.

If Pingyang City hadn't been on this important north-south transportation route, it would have been a big difference between the city gate tax and the commercial tax.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with plains on one side, and the Jinsha River surrounds the northeast. It is basically in a self-sufficiency farming society with no room for development.

If it weren't for the time traveling over, others would really not look down on this place, no wonder they didn't have the general trend to occupy this place.

Wang Shouyi wanted to buy some medicinal materials, but there were basically no ones for more than fifty years. The two pharmacies in the city each had a treasure for the store, one was the century-old yellow seven, and the other was the century-old fruit, which others didn't sell.

As a result, when practicing medicine to treat Zhao Lao's injuries, he kept keeping it for a few days, and used less than ten years of medicinal materials to continuously purify the medicinal solution.

This stay made Mianer very happy. In addition to morning exercises, he followed Wang Shouyi out to play every day, buying this, and eating this, and eating that, Wang Shouyi smiled and paid for it.

I also ate peach blossom porridge and peach blossom cake, which was so beautiful.

I told the mountain for four days and came back on the fourth day.

The harvest is OK. When I opened the animal skin bag, there were thirteen golden snakes.

"There are golden snake caves in the Golden Snake Valley. There are many things, but the speed is too fast and difficult to catch. It is also miasma and has many swamps. No other medicinal materials were found, only peach trees all over the valley."

Wang Shouyi heard Xiangshan say this and thought it was a bit wrong. As a dangerous land, Taoling rarely set foot on it, so there should be medicinal materials of the year.

"Is there something strange?" Wang Shouyi asked.

Xiangshan thought about it, then put his hand into the animal skin, and pinched a golden snake that was thinner than chopsticks with two fingers. It was less than half a foot, and his body was twisting: "This golden snake is a bit strange. He doesn't run away when he sees me. Moreover, his essence and blood are more than ten times that of an ordinary golden snake, and he is about to transform into a monster."

"Oh, by the way, this thing doesn't bite people, doesn't run away, it's a little spiritual." Xiangshan said and put the golden snake on the table. The golden snake stopped twisting and lay straight on the table, motionless.

Wang Shouyi scanned his mental power and found that the golden snake was in a transformation, and all the flesh and blood were in a state of transformation that was about to be broken, but it seemed that the energy was insufficient.

He pointed at the golden snake lying on the corpse, raised his body, black bean eyes larger than sesame seeds, looked at Wang Shouyi, and was lying on the corpse again.

“Haha…interesting.”

Wang Shouyi pinched the tail of the golden snake and looked at it carefully...

The golden snake twisted its body and wrapped around Wang Shouyi's fingers. The purple tongue was swallowing and spitting, and the black bean eyes showed a very reluctant look.

"It's quite spiritual."

Wang Shouyi let go of his fingers, and the golden snake fell on the table. With a "swoosh", he got into the pile of golden snakes, turned his head and looked at it, and lying on Wang Shouyi's corpse again.

"Haha... I still have a little temper."

...

"Dong, dun, dun"

A sound of brisk footsteps sounded, and Mianer ran in.

A gust of wind rushed to Wang Shouyi.

"Master, uncle, it's time to eat."

When I turned my head, I found a table of golden snakes.

"Wow... so many golden snakes." Mianer jumped up happily, reached out and grabbed one.

"Uncle, you are so awesome. You have caught so many golden snakes for Mian'er to play with." Mian'er touched the golden snake with her hand, feeling very comfortable.

But my eyes were shot on the table, looking for a more beautiful one.

"Hey, there is still a piece of it." Mian'er shone brightly and reached out and grabbed it again.

Xiangshan and Wang Shouyi smiled.

"Okay, Mianer, stop playing, it's time to have a meal. You can play with one, and the other masters will have to heal your wounds."

"Master, this golden snake is moving. Look, look, your eyes are still glaring at me." Mian'er put the golden snake in the palm of his hand, stretched it in front of Wang Shouyi, and shouted.

"I know, I know, Master has seen it!" Wang Shouyi responded with a smile.

The girl has been running around with her these days, and she is much more lively and brave, and she loves to stick to herself. Wang Shouyi said she was taking an apprentice, but she was the biological daughter. Wang Shouyi didn't ask her to take care of her, except for sleeping at night, she was basically under her nose.

Wang Shouyi felt that his mentality was getting old. He was nearly 40 years old in his two lives. He had a girl around him and was not troubled. He was happy.

Xiangshan swept the golden snake on the table and entered the animal skin bag, tucked and hung it on his waist.

"I said, Ah Da, why don't you keep this thing, you won't bite people, and you're too lazy. Look at it, you'll put it on your head, like a golden hairpin, which looks pretty good." Xiang Shanda was careful and saw Mianer's joyful look, and his heart moved.

"The wife on the street is just that. Look less and avoid being unable to control her. If you get in the mood, you are in a critical moment..." Wang Shouyi joked and Xiangshan.

Xiangshan glared at him unhappily: "You deserve a beating, you are talking to you about serious business. I think this thing is good and smart. If you give a elixir, it is probably a monster. You must be smarter. It's good to protect the girl."

Wang Shouyi thought it seriously and thought Xiangshan's words were OK. He pinched the golden snake in Mian'er's hand: "It's your luck."

Mianer looked up at Wang Shouyi. She could understand Xiangshan's words and said with a hope: "Master, can you raise me?"

"Well, yes, Master convinces this thing first, and then lets you keep it. Don't bother, do you know?"

"Yeah, Master is so good." Mianer nodded vigorously, and was so happy that she bent her eyes into crescent moons.
