But then again, has Li Muyun really gone to steal people from other state prefectures?

In fact, Li Muyun is not a fool, how could he do such a thing?

The reason why the joint impeachment of the Eighteen Prefectures was just someone behind the scenes, and the other is that jealousy was causing trouble.

This is like a performance appraisal in later generations. You said that everyone will sell cars together, and others will see you selling ten units a day, but he can't sell one. Think about it, will that person be jealous?

As the saying goes, one principle is integrated with all principles. Although things are not the same thing, the truth remains unchanged. This is also the main reason why the Eighteen Prefectures jointly signed.

Seeing this, those who are interested may ask, since Li Muyun has not robbed them, where does so many people in Shanyin County come from?

In fact, this matter has to start with the oral order Li Shimin gave him.

After all, half a year ago, Li Shimin only allowed Li Muyun to try to recruit fugitives on his fiefdom, but other prefectures did not receive such orders, so they could only watch Li Muyun recruit people, but they did not dare to move.

You should know that this is a major policy and no one dares to violate it. Otherwise, recruiting fugitives privately would be a serious crime to deceive the emperor. Then the surrounding states and prefectures are all officials who have been in charge for a long time. How could they make such a low-level mistake that can ruin their lives for a few fugitives?

So they could only watch Li Muyun recruit people to replenish the population there, but they could only stare at him.

Li Muyun is not a person who recruits people. He has seen many people who escape from the people during this period. He can almost see what kind of people are escaped from the people and what kind of people are normal people.

Most of the guys who were thinking about making up for the numbers had actually been returned, and Shanyin County did not take them in at all, and the people who soared in the county were just fugitives from other prefectures.

This is actually how people work hard all their lives. To put it bluntly, the reason why most people work hard all their lives is just to live. If their state capital does not recruit them back, and their life in the mountains cannot continue, those people naturally have to find other ways to survive.

So they came to Shanyin County of Li Muyun, obtained their own household registration, built their own homes, and started their own new life. This was understandable.

This is exactly: There is nothing wrong in the world, and people are disturbing themselves!

The eighteen states around Shuozhou were either because of their own reasons or because of other external reasons. In short, they jointly beat Li Muyun and sued him. This was a disaster for a certain marquis.

...

The picture turned back to Shanyin County, and Fang Yizhi appeared in front of Li Muyun again, frowned and looked at him reluctantly.

"What? Are you still having an upset?" Li Muyun smiled indifferently, pointed to the chair on the side and said, "Sit down, we need to talk about some things."

"What are you talking about? You, a hand-off manager, don't worry about anything!" Xiao Fang said depressedly, obviously still not forgetting the incident that Li Muyun scolded him a few days ago.

"Oh, Brother Fang, why don't you understand? Actually, I'm just doing this for your own good. To say something simple and deep, your personality is a bit too soft. Even if you enter the center in the future, you will inevitably be deceived by your subordinates. It's better to follow me to study hard, as it will always be useful in the future."

"My temperament is soft, and my father once said that this is nature!" Fang Yizhi seemed to know exactly where his weakness was. He was not angry when Li Muyun pointed it out, but just sighed.

"Character is also divided into innate and acquired. Although Brother Fang is like this, he may not be able to change it after all. Even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs running. If you have seen some things at the grassroots level, you will naturally know how to do it when you go to a higher position in the future."

Li Muyun talked freely, without knowing that he had already trapped himself and became a "pig" he called him.

Fang Yizhi naturally understood it, but Xiao Fang didn't say much. He just looked at him with a weird smile, then thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's stop talking about me, talk about you. Since you don't want to collect agricultural tax, can you tell me where this tax comes from? You will have to pass this level at the end of the year."

"Hmph, it's rare and weird. Only the agricultural tax can be paid. You have also transferred it in the county during this period. Do you think that even if I tax all these people and impose heavy taxes, can I pay the tax all?" Li Muyun asked back.

Fang Yizhi lowered his head and thought for a while, but finally shook his head.

The geographical environment of Shanyin County determines that this broken place is not suitable for growing grain at all. If the land grown by the people can maintain self-sufficiency, it will be considered good. If they are asked to pay taxes again, it will be equivalent to taking their lives.

"So, since it's not enough to collect it, why should I still collect it?" Li Muyun spread his hands.

"This..." Fang Yizhi rubbed his nose depressedly, and then said: "But it is better to collect it than not, at least..."

"There is nothing at least. Now the people's hearts are more important than anything else. If the agricultural tax is not enough, we can use other aspects to make up for it." Li Muyun shook his head again, and then said to Fang Yizhi: "By the way, have the caves you made some time ago been prepared?"

"It's already done. If you want to burn that coke, you can start now." Fang Yizhi said.

Li Muyun curled his lips and looked at Xiaofang with the look of the fool: "I burn the charcoal for a lot of money. Even if the thing is burned, we can't exchange it for money. I mean to burn some things that make money quickly, such as 'cement'."

"Water...what is water?" Fang Yizhi asked uncertainly after a short period of stagnation.

"Cement is a kind of gray used to build a house," Li Muyun explained.

"Gray? Mud?" Fang Yi felt that his mind was not enough.

Li Muyun felt that it was a bit troublesome to explain this issue to Fang Yizhi, so he waved his hand: "Oh, you don't understand after saying that. I'll ask a few people to follow me up the mountain. Let's go and see where there are raw materials for firing cement."

However, although Fang Yizhi didn't understand what cement was, he heard another meaning from Li Muyun's words: "You, are you saying that you don't even know whether there are raw materials in the county, so you are planning to burn something called cement? And you also asked me to build the cave in advance?"

"And!" Li Muyun nodded with confidence, and later felt that it was indeed a bit unreasonable, so he waved his hand again: "Hey, why are you like this? Those who accomplish great things are not careful or not? Don't always be upset about some trivial matters, ah!"

That's it, Fang Yizhi had no choice but to follow Li Muyun to climb the mountain.

Li Muyun also received a nickname - "Changyouli", which means that no matter when or under what circumstances, he can tell his own truth, and it sounds like that.
