Chapter 804
"General Zuo, it's really a pity to let you be the prefect of this place!" Huang She looked at the high walls of Jiangling City step by step with satisfaction.
Jiangling City used to be the second granary of Jingzhou. He leaned against Huarong Road and was in front of him with the Wujun of Xiangyang. With the Yangtze River as a natural danger, he even had a strategic position even more than Xiangyang.
Unfortunately, because of Huang She's arguing with the dead Liu Pan, Liu Pan destroyed the Wu family, a large gentry clan in Jiangling, and was about to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. The Huang family also pushed the boat with the flow and sent out the secrets of Huarong Road. In addition, the Huang family knew about it and did not report it.
The final outcome was that Jiangling City was destroyed and Jiangling Prefect died. The food and supplies stored in Jiangling City were emptied by Lu Xun from Yangzhou. The food and supplies that could not be taken away were distributed to the local people. The materials that could not be taken away were naturally burned to him with a fire.
In the end, our deceased Master Liu Biao spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy this Jiangling city from Yangzhou.
The loss of Jiangling City made Liu Biao very sad. Fortunately, Jingzhou's strong foundation finally survived. After Liu Biao died, Liu Zong took office. Liu Zong was still young, and everything was controlled by Huang She.
In this way, Huang She was not very concerned about Jiangling City. This is why the thief army that has been cultivated has already reached Jiangling. Our Huang She was not worried about her children's shoes. Jiangling City has been broken into that shape, and it is not a big deal to lose it.
∈⊥ Later, Zhang Fei and Pang Tong helped Huang She defeat Jiang Lingcheng, defeating the cultivation of the other side. After passing, we passed. With Pang Tong's recommendation, our Huang Shezhao children's shoes successfully led the wolf into the house and introduced Liu Da'er to him.
The enemy is a friend, not to mention that Zhang Fei and others may resent Huang Shoo because Huang Shoo had pitted Liu Bei and others. Even Zhang Fei became like this now, but Huang Shoo had never been pitted by Liu Bei. Liu Bei did attack Jingzhou, but Liu Biao was in power at that time.
Now Huang She is the time to use people. When he sat in Liu Biao's position, Huang She was already feeling sad because there were so many talents in many places, and he was not enough.
In the past, those literary leaders were still in office for Liu Biao's sake, but now, Liu Biao is dead and dying is unknown. Huang She is even more junior. They disdain to be an official for Huang She. The students of Lumen Academy were more or less suggestive from Pang Degong. In addition, Yangzhou is now increasing, and most of the talented people are heading towards Yangzhou.
The big test in Yangzhou attracted the hearts of all students all over the world.
He was determined to find the Cai family and the Kuai family to relieve the situation. However, he was afraid that the Cai family and the Kuai family would take the opportunity to seize the power, so he finally got into that position. He didn't want to return to the era when the Huang family, the Kuai family and the Cai family were checking and balanced together. What's more, our honorary head of Jingzhou was also our Cai Mao's eldest nephew. If this continues, he would really be kicked out of the situation.
Lumen Academy has no talent, and many civil servants have also withdrawn from the officialdom, but he dared not go to look for the Cai family and the Kuai family.
In the end, we were only in a hurry to seek medical treatment. At this time, our Liu Bei and Liu Daer'er came with a group of civil and military officials from Yuzhou. This really alleviated the embarrassment of our yellow ejaculation children's shoes lacking officials and civil officials.
This Liu Da'er is not only a fictional reputation, but also very capable. For example, the city defenses in front of us were built by our Liu Da'er Children's Shoes. Read the latest chapter full text
All the cities in Jianglingcheng were raised three feet high, and both the main city and the acropolis were surrounded by arrow towers. It can be said that the scout's eyes could clearly see everything about Jiangling from a high place.
It is almost impossible to play the previous sneak attack on Jiangling again.
That's not all, the city was repaired by Liu Bei, and the autumn harvest was about to be held.
When Lu Xun came, he did not destroy the rice fields, because he also knew that destroying the rice fields would certainly prevent Jingzhou from harvesting food and grass, but more of them were poisoning the people. The people had no food and had to starve to death.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Huang She couldn't help but praise, because all the decorations here were marked. "General Zuo is indeed a talented person!" Huang She couldn't help but praise.
"Sir, I'm too proud!" Liu Bei lowered his head and bowed to Huang She. Liu Bei had no face at all. He was a true figure who could bend and stretch.
He turned his grandson in front of Lu Bu, and in a blink of an eye he brought Cao Cao to attack Lu Bu. He pretended to be a grandson in front of Cao Cao, and in an instant he confused Cao Cao, the hero, and occupied Xuzhou.
If Liu Bei had not had a bad background, which led to his late start, Liu Bei's achievements might be immeasurable. Huang She, whether this person is an official position or a title, or even during the backup, Huang She would have called Liu Bei an uncle.
But our Uncle Liu did not mention this generation at all. He called Huang She the adult, and it was not easy to bow.
How can you not make Huang Xiu happy with such an attitude?
Look at this is the left general Liu Huangshu of the Han Dynasty, look at this is the former Xuzhou Mu, but so what? He is now going to fall under his crotch and be his subject.
Huang Ying is still very satisfied with her mentality.
"The other stuff in Yangzhou is not good. This thing called cement is pretty good!" Guan Yu, who was next to Liu Bei, also spoke with Liu Bei.
Yes, these inner and outer cities can be completed so quickly and are all the benefits of cement.
This thing is not as complicated as before when transporting huge rocks and using gypsum. Just transport these cements out to lay the ground and mix them with water, and they will dry up quickly.
In the end, it solidified because the price was a little more expensive and was transported from Yangzhou. In addition, it was rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, so the preservation of this cement was a problem and the price also rose.
Liu Bei did not speak, but smiled. She bought these cements at a high price, and even used Liu Bei's own savings.
But Liu Bei was very happy because Jiangling was his foundation. With these cement-cast city walls, even if they were ten times more troops than their own, Liu Bei was sure to fight them back.
But Liu Bei didn't know that these cements were all used by Yangzhou civilians, that is, third-class goods. First-class goods were used for casting large dams and dams, because those things were a century-old project, and even steel bars were firmly built into them.
The second-class product is military city walls, and he has high hardness because he wants to cast city walls and some fortifications.
Third-class cement is what Liu Bei uses now. In Yangzhou, it is all cement made of scraps, mainly used to pave the roads. The official roads in Yangzhou are all paved with them. Even the cement houses built by wealthy people do not use this third-class cement. Only in Jingzhou.
However, this third-class cement is sold well in Jingzhou, especially our Liu Bei children's shoes. It is indeed foresighted to see that the cement-cast city wall is very strong, but this sturdiness is only relative.
The stone throwers used to attack the city were useful, and even Yangzhou's crossbows might not be able to be used, but don't forget that Yangzhou's crossbows have been eliminated. Now Yangzhou uses bronze cannons, and this thing may not be able to withstand first-class cement. Not to mention these road-building scraps.
Of course, we still don’t know about Liu Da’er’s children’s shoes.
"The autumn harvest is about to begin! General Zuo, are you planning?" Huang She walked around and asked Liu Bei next to her with satisfaction.
"Autumn Harvest?" Liu Bei's eyes turned. He naturally knew why Huang She asked this question. What does autumn harvest mean? It means that the people have food, and that the rulers can collect food and grass taxes.
Looking at Huang She's greedy expression, Liu Bei knew that he might have to collect higher taxes.
"Lord, this Jiangling has just been built. The consumables are huge. The people have gone through two wars. It is probably inappropriate to collect taxes on this version. It should be allowed to rest and recuperate!" Yi Ji, who was next to him, helped Liu Bei on the other side speak.
Liu Bei in Jiangling City has already paid a great price. It can be said that he is about to bring her Liu Bei himself to waste his old foundation. He is just waiting for the autumn harvest to make a fortune.
If you intercept another man, it will really make Liu Bei lose money.
"Oh? Is that true?" Huang She's expression showed a slow expression on her face. "Jiangling suffered from war. Is there no Jingnan Wu County? Is there no Nanyang County? If everyone doesn't pay taxes, where does my Jingzhou tax come from!" Huang She's mainly come for food and grass this time. Can he not be moved by the yellow food? What does the food represent? In this chaotic world, he is the capital for your life.
Without food, people starve to death, and food can be sold for money.
He also saw that Liu Bei was paying money to build Jiangling, but so what? Huang She was originally greedy. He wanted this Jiangling City and he also wanted this food and supplies.
"Even if the lord doesn't go, can you take less?" Yiji changed his way to persuade him. Since it was impossible to avoid it, then pay less. We must let our Liu Bei children's shoes return.
Huang She thought for a while and nodded, saying that he wanted the horse to run away and the horse to not eat grass. This was unrealistic, Huang She planned to exempt Liu Bei from some taxes.
"Lord!" Yi Ji wanted to persuade him, but Liu Bei on the other side moved forward steadily.
"Sir, this Jingzhou has suffered wars. If this one does not pay taxes or that one does not pay taxes, how can we have money to arm our army? If there is money to defend the enemy outside the territory, Jingzhou will still invade other places, and the people will still suffer. In the long run, Jingzhou will no longer be a wealthy and prosperous Jingzhou!" Liu Bei said righteously to Huang She over there. "Huh?" Everyone has not come back to their senses. What is Liu Bei and Liu Da'er going to do.
"Please rest assured that my Jiangling food and grass will be sent to Xiangyang on a date. We will definitely not ow a single cent, nor a single cent. If there is a small amount, I am willing to take the thorns and apologize!" Liu Bei bowed to Huang Sho over there.
"Be serious?" Huang She had no plans to teach all the taxes when she came, and she thought about taking a little away from Jiangling, but she didn't expect that our Liu Bei children's shoes would be so good at speaking that they actually had to collect all the taxes. This was an unexpected surprise. How could he be unhappy when Huang She?
"Every sentence is true!" Liu Bei said with his fists.
"Okay, I believe General Zuo once, three days, no, I will give General Zuo five days to prepare the food and grass taxes, and wait for the good news in Xiangyang. If General Zuo completes it, I will definitely have a lot of rewards!" Huang She said with a message.
After talking for a while, we talked and lengthened. Our Liu Bei's kung slap in children's shoes was pretty good. Even Cao Cao was deceived, let alone this little girl with yellow ejaculation. "Great greetings!" Huang ejaculation came with joy and left happily.
Huang cumed away, but one person stayed.
"Duke Xuande, why are you?" Yi Ji asked Liu Bei over there inconscientiously. This Liu Bei is the democracy in Yi Ji's mind. What he was thinking about was assisting Liu Bei instead of Huang She's a fool.
He can't tell if Jiangling suffered losses. Jiangling's city can have its current size, but Liu Bei has made great efforts in it.
Originally, Yi Ji was going to dissuade Huang She and not collect taxes, but he couldn't dissuade him and asked Huang She to collect less. However, he didn't expect that Xuande Gong seemed to look down on these food and grass at all, and he directly wanted to distribute all the food and grass with other Jingzhou counties. Isn't this a joke!
Liu Bei also gained the mercy, which is what makes Yi Ji the most trouble.
"Haha!" Liu Bei smiled and said to Yi Ji over there, "Thank you, Yi Ji! But this tax must be given to Lord Huang She over there!"
"Huh?" Yi Ji became more and more confused.
"Yiji, how much is the tax in Jingzhou!" Liu Bei knew that Yiji was his own, so he didn't hide it at all and asked with a smile.
"There is 60% in Xiangyang and 40% in Jiangling!" Taxes still need to be seen in the local area. Some places have poor land and naturally require less taxes, but some places are fertile land with tens of millions of acres of fertile land. How can we get less taxes?
This Jiangling is a little more barren place and only needs to pay taxes from four cities.
"Go, pass my order, pay 80% of all the taxes!" Liu Bei spoke directly.
"80%!" Yi Ji's eyes widened. This is not just so much tax when he said it. If there were too many taxes, the end result would be that the people might change.
What's more, what Liu Bei has always been famous for, isn't that a reputation? If he opens his mouth and collects 80% of the taxes, he will be really done.
At least the reputation that Liu Bei had accumulated before was destroyed.
However, the subordinate Yiji of Liu Bei's subordinate over there went out, and Yiji had no time to stop him! "Take it again, tell the people and say that I only collected 60%!" (To be continued...)
