Chapter 137 Quarrel

The afternoon meeting was about discussing taxation, commerce, agriculture and other issues.

As the consul, Katun put forward many constructive opinions, such as reducing the heavy taxes before the dynasty in the occupied areas, recruiting refugees to reclaim land, etc.

However, when Katun proposed to increase commercial taxes, he was opposed by most civil officials without exception, which surprised Lin Chuan, who was present.

Most of the newly promoted officials are scholars who have nowhere to show their ambitions. They find it incredible that agricultural taxes are reduced and commercial taxes are reduced and increased.

According to the inherent practices of the dynasty, the main source of general taxation is agricultural taxation, and commercial taxation is better than none.

Facing the opposition of most officials, Katun asked unchangedly: "The people are burdened with heavy burdens, and the noble businessmen are rich, so why can't they collect business taxes?"

Some officials refuted: "If the commercial tax is imposed, the merchants will disappear in Mucheng, and the consequences will be unimaginable. At that time, scarce materials such as salt and iron cannot be transported to Mucheng, and Mucheng will be in danger."

Lin Chuan sneered: "I'm afraid it's offending the interests of your family? What businessman has disappeared from Mucheng? You're exaggerating."

Zhao Feng, the heir of the Zhao family, is now the deputy of Katun, and he is also standing up at this moment. "Mr. Lin is definitely not an exaggeration. If this example is started, I am afraid that no businessman will dare to come to the land occupied by our Nanchuan Army to do business, and the consequences will come at that time..."

Lin Nuoyan was also unsure of the decision at this moment, and he didn't know how to make a decision.

"Let me let this go for now, let me think about it and make a decision." Lin Nuoyan interrupted the two parties involved in the dispute.

As a time traveler, Lin Chuan knew that tax collection from land was limited, and encouraging business, tax collection from business was a constant stream of money.

But at this moment, due to the strong opposition from Zhao Feng and others, such a policy was forced to abort, which made Lin Chuan feel very uncomfortable.

The following topics discussed involve the interests of the big family in Mucheng. As the representative of the big family, Zhao Feng, the deputy lord of Mucheng, stood up from time to time to object, which made Lin Chuan feel so angry that he was so angry that he was helpless to him.

After the meeting, Lin Chuan left the conference room angrily.

"Check it out for me! I want to see what this guy is from, but the territory we have built has made him point fingers!"

Lin Chuan felt very unbalanced. The territory he had built with his brothers who worked hard to win was the turn of the policy to implement the policy, but Zhao Feng and others were so angry that they thought about it.

Xia Ge also came over at this moment. Seeing Lin Chuan’s face unhappy, he patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t be angry, wait until he has the opportunity to clean up him.”

"We brothers haven't drunk together for a long time. Today I'll treat you to you without getting drunk." Xia Ge said inviting.

"Sir Lin, wait a moment." Just as Lin Chuan was about to leave, a guard of the General's Mansion chased him from behind.

The guard ran to Lin Chuan: "Mr. Lin, Master Shuai asked you to stay. He has something to do to find you."

Xia Ge spread his hands, looking helpless: "It seems that I will have to invite you to drink next time, and I will save another meal of wine."

"I can't escape it next time I make up for it."

Lin Chuan said goodbye to Xia Ge and waited alone by the corridor.

Lin Nuoyan was walking out of the conference room talking and laughing with Katun. Lin Chuan's pupils shrank slightly, and Zhao Feng was there too.

Lin Nuoyan also saw Lin Chuan and greeted Lin Chuan over.

Lin Chuan was extremely unwilling to see Zhao Feng, but he walked over.

Katun sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by Zhao Feng. When he saw Lin Chuan coming, he praised Lin Nuoyan: "The Lin general is indeed well-known. Lin Chuan has a great general demeanor at a young age. It is not easy to behave in his demeanor."

Lin Nuoyan looked at Lin Chuan with a smile: "Chuan'er, the military reorganization plan you just proposed is very consistent with our current situation. I have arranged for Adjutant Luo to draft the order and be ready to implement it."

"Uncle Lin, are you too anxious?"

"Although time is a bit hasty, I'm going to leave this matter to you. I believe you can do it properly."

Lin Chuan agreed. After all, he wrote the military plan and let him implement it in detail, so he is much more familiar with it.

But at this moment it was unexpected.

Zhao Feng bowed to Lin Nuoyan, "Master, Zhao Feng is not talented and is willing to follow Lord Lin to exercise. I wonder if the Master can agree."

Lin Chuan always felt that Zhao Feng had an ulterior motive and was always alert. Before Lin Nuoyan could speak, he first spoke up and refused.

"Young Master Zhao is weak, and there are all vulgar martial artists in the army. I think it is more appropriate for you to stay in the government office."

Zhao Feng smiled in response to Lin Chuan's rejection: "Mr. Lin doesn't know that I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child and my body is not bad. If I have the chance, I still want to ask Master Lin to discuss it."

"Oh?" Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Feng. He was out of sight. Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng was still a trainee.

"Lin Chuan, don't underestimate the Zhao family's son. His inherited the long spear and spear shooting skills of his family are not weak."

The meaning of reminder in the stuttering words is very obvious, that is, Lin Chuan should not underestimate Zhao Feng.

Lin Nuoyan nodded: "Since Mr. Zhao is interested, then follow Chuan'er to implement the military reorganization plan. Chuan'er can't be busy alone anyway."

"Master Xie" Zhao Feng hurriedly called Xie Linnuoyan, as if he was afraid that he would change his attention.

Lin Chuan also nodded. Since Lin Nuoyan spoke, if he objected again, it would be his fault.

"Old guy, then I'll go back first." Katon said goodbye to Lin Nuoyan.

Lin Nuoyan made a request, Lin Chuan made way, and Zhao Feng pushed Katun and left the Marshal's Mansion.

It was not until they walked away that Lin Chuan frowned and asked, "Uncle Lin, who is Zhao Feng? Why does Lord Katun favor him so much?"

Lin Nuoyan smiled: "He was still stuck in a distant relative. He surrendered to us half a month ago by the dynasty. However, this young man is not bad, humble and polite, and his martial arts are also good. You have to learn from him this time and don't be too reckless in doing things."

Lin Chuan nodded and said yes, but he was still wondering, a distant relative? Such a coincidence?

Lin Nuoyan finally ordered: "Chuan'er, you will be waiting for me at the ancestral home tomorrow. I have something to give to you."

Although Lin Chuan really wants to know what Lin Nuoyan gives him, it is difficult for him to ask if Lin Nuoyan doesn't say it. It seems that he will not know tomorrow.

After saying goodbye to Lin Nuoyan, Lin Chuan had just walked outside the Grandmaster's Mansion, when the Guard Thunderstorm came over mysteriously and whispered: "Sir, the investigation has been found."

Lin Chuan looked around and said, "Go back and say."

Soon, Lin Chuan had returned to his own single-family villa and asked the other guards to retreat.

"You can say it now."

Although Lin Chuan had learned from Lin Nuoyan that Zhao Feng was from Katun's distant relative, his intuition as a soldier felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"After sending someone to investigate, the Zhao family is a distant relative of Lord Katun and comes from Lingbei Province..."

There is not much information about the results of the thunderstorm investigation. After all, it is now in chaos, so it is not so easy to investigate clearly in a short period of time.

Lin Chuan instructed: "Continue to investigate secretly and don't let anyone discover it."
