Jiang Anyi was shocked and his mind was swaying. Mr. Zhang actually secretly concealed three thousand dead soldiers for himself. This was to be discovered by the Dragon Guard, which was the crime of raiding the family.

His eyes fell on the half-charred face, and Jiang Anyi sighed in his heart that Zhang Xian had a misfortune of his life for his family and country, and he lost his relatives and was displaced. He almost lost his life when he met him. Such an experience made him feel full of crisis. Only after he defected to him would he secretly prepare a death warrior in case of emergency needs.

Zhang Keji guessed what Jiang Anyi was thinking and smiled and said, "I want to fight north. I need silver to build arms, buy war horses, pay military pay and store supplies, etc., and the national treasury is not full. Only then will I allow the lord to report to open a border city in Huazhou and implement a unified tax in China. Huazhou's tax growth is rapid. Zi praised the lord and regarded it as a model for the governor, and was promoted quickly."

From the Ministry of Rites (from the sixth rank) to the Qingtian Department (from the fourth rank), there are ten ranks apart, and the assessment is performed step by step every two years. Only the grades of the middle and upper core scores can be improved, and it will take twenty years. Jiang Anyi only took thirteen years. As an official without background, it is a miracle.

"The promotion of the lord made many officials see clearly what their son likes. If the superiors like him, the subordinates will cater to him. Officials from all over the country have tried to pay more taxes and meet the emperor's preferences." Zhang Keji's mouth raised, and his half-dried and half-loving face showed unspeakable sarcasm, and continued, "The taxes in the inland states and counties rely on farmland. After the implementation of the combined tax, the taxes will increase. But it would be a dream to double within a few years. There are many counties that have doubled the taxes in recent years, and all of these officials have been promoted and reused."

Jiang Anyi asked in surprise, "How did they do it?"

"It's nothing more than going to the fields to increase the tax, collecting taxes in advance, selling public land and exploiting vendors, and other methods. Zhang heard that the taxes in some counties have been received in the ninth year of Jianwu."

Jiang Anyi said uneasyly, "How can the people bear this? Guanfeng Censor's dereliction of duty, why don't he report to Zi?"

Zhang Keji said, "These county magistrates who paid more taxes were commended and promoted by Zi, and the report of Guanfeng Censor was depressed. In order to enrich the treasury and expedition as soon as possible, Zi deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb, and actually indulged these officials to exploit the people."

Jiang Anyi knew that his son was eager to achieve success in his work, and sighed, "Governing a great country is like cooking fresh, long live the trouble."

"Zi Sheng was very wise and knew this situation. He thought that after the victory of the Northern Expedition, the cattle and sheep supplies sent back from the Desert Kingdom would be able to quell the domestic conflicts. He then punished those officials with the power of great victory. The people were grateful and thus ruled. Zi was naturally the eternal emperor of civil and military virtues."

Zhang Keji's sarcastic smile became more and more obvious, and he said, "But I never expected that this Northern Expedition would fail, the soldiers would be damaged, the national treasury would be exhausted, and the treasury would be exhausted, and the people would be ill in anger. The people in the Western Regions took the opportunity to invade, and half of Huazhou were taken away, and the people were in a state of turmoil. The prince in the court fought with King An of Chu again, and the court officials had their own plans and were full of dangers."

Jiang Anyi retorted, "Zizi has a very high prestige. Kong Xiang and Ma Xiang are both old and well-planned people. The six ministries are in charge. Even if there are some fights, they cannot cause great storms. The gentleman is a little over-concerned."

"If Zi can live safely for three years, he can definitely save the situation by his means and hand over a relatively peaceful subordinate to the prince. However, in the letter sent by Tian Shoulou, the prince still presided over the government. If Zi's personality can be supported, such a critical situation must be in charge of himself. Akiko's condition is very serious."

Zhang Keji took a sip of tea and continued, "The prince was eager to enrich the treasury, to provide pensions for the soldiers who were injured and injured, and to pay military salaries to build military weapons. In addition to confiscating the property of corrupt officials, he also issued an order to increase the taxes paid by each state this year by 20%. Rewarding officials who paid more taxes will suffer in the people. Once the disaster breaks out, Zhang thought that when the Yuanhua River collapses, the people would definitely break out like Xingling County, Linhua County, and the public complaints everywhere would be like dry firewood. At that time, one call will respond to the danger."

Jiang Anyi swallowed, and Zhang Keji's words seemed to be exaggerated in his opinion, but this possibility is not without. If Pingshan Town encounters war, his brothers are far away in Huazhou, what should I do if the old lady and sister in the family and uncle's family are there? Can the back village built by Mr. Zhang protect their family and friends?

Zhang Keji smiled and said, "Zhang has built the back village into an iron bucket in recent years. Apart from the elderly and weak, there are still four or five hundred young and strong people in the family. If Zhang didn't boast, there would be five thousand officers and soldiers who attacked the back village. There is no time to break the back village without three months. Don't worry about the safety of the lord's family and relatives."

Jiang Anyi breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him, "Mr. He has a long-term vision to relieve Jiang's worries and uses tea instead of wine. He is toasted with a cup of sir."

Zhang Keji happily raised his glass and drank it all, then poured tea for Jiang Anyi with a pot, saying, "The lord's brother-in-law Li Mingfeng is an amazing civil and military talent. Zhang admires his talent when dating him. Miss Yan'er is also a hero among girls. Pingshan Town has a lord's sister and couple in charge, and it is as peaceful as a rock."

Jiang Anyi frowned. He lacked the favor of this cheap brother-in-law, but his sister liked it. He also had two children, Li Shuyi and Li Shuhui. If his brother-in-law did not kiss her, she could only recognize this family. Li Mingfeng had fought with him. Jiang Anyi knew that his martial arts skills were no less than An Yong. After talking to each other several times, he could realize that this person was so elegant and meaningful. No wonder the girl liked him.

Li Mingfeng went home with the girl. His mother was quite satisfied with Li Mingfeng and liked her two grandchildren even more. Jiang Anyi's brothers were not at home, so he let Yan'er and his wife live at home. Jiang Anyi also hoped that Yan'er could be filial to her mother.

However, Jiang Anyi had a hidden worry in his heart. He had rebelled in the Ukrainian Mansion. Zhang Gang, who was in the Weiyuan Escort Agency, was taken down by himself. Zhang Gang asked to see him in prison and exchange a secret matter for peace. Zhang Gang told himself that he had learned from the Han Mansion that Jiang Anyi's brother-in-law Li Mingfeng was a disciple of the Yuan Sect Liu Ziwei, and Li Mingfeng had a purpose to approach Yan'er.

When Jiang Anyi learned about it, he was upset. Li Mingfeng told Yan'er that he was an escort and was traveling around the world to find a master. How could a escort have such talent? Jiang Anyi became suspicious and Li Mingfeng broke through in his eyes. Jiang Anyi wanted to fly to Pingshan Town and grabbed Li Mingfeng and asked to understand.

But then he thought, so what if he had killed him, let Yan'er lose her husband and two children and lose her father, hold a grudge against him, and the family became enemies. As long as Li Mingfeng stayed in Pingshan Town and broke off relations with Yuan Jiao, he just thought he didn't know about this, so Jiang Anyi didn't even tell An Yong, and wanted to find an opportunity to tell Zhang Keji and let him pay attention to Li Mingfeng for himself.

Zhang Keji didn't know what Jiang Anyi was thinking, and smiled and said, "I have handed over the people in Pingshan Town to Li Mingfeng, and agreed with him to secretly recruit experts in Zhangzhuang, Wuqing County (Li Mingfeng's pseudonym Zhang Sheng selling wine in Zhangzhuang) and adopt orphans. There are 200 orphans in recent years."

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly. Zhang Keji's approach was clearly to raise private soldiers. Could it be that he wanted to instigate his own rebellion? Three thousand people, five hundred people in the old house, and more than two hundred people in Zhangzhuang, were almost four thousand people, which was more than the guards of the Anyang Palace. Zhang Keji thought that Li Mingfeng was his brother-in-law, so he could let him take charge of the family. If Li Mingfeng had a strange intention, a disaster would come.

Zhang Keji said, "Don't worry, lord, Zhang is not crazy about gaining and losing his mind. He wants to use this little manpower to rebel. These people, Zhang, have made graces and mercy in the name of the Jiang family, and have them settled in various places. He did not ask them to do anything. Even the Long Guard has no way to investigate. There is no need to worry about safety. The reason why Zhang did this was because he thought that if something happened, the lord would have someone available to him in his hands to respond to the emergency."

Jiang Anyi's heart was churning, unable to tell the taste, and only heard Zhang Keji continue to say, "There is something that Zhang makes his own decision, so please forgive me."

"What else do you have to hide from Jiang?" Jiang Anyi was numb by the news that came one after another. There were too many lice, so he just had enough itch at one time.

Zhang Keji was not afraid of it and said, "Zhang sent some silver and weapons to Xuchanghua, Changwu County, Changwu, Qi Prefecture, under the name of his lord and Tong'er's husband Rao, and asked him to recruit bandits in Qizhou."

"What?" Jiang Anyi stood up in fear and said in a lost voice, "How can sir do this? What can you do if Long Guard finds out?"

"Don't worry, lord, Zhang did not send things openly, but sent a letter to Xuchanghua, asking him to take his brothers to disguise himself as a bandit robber. These things were sent in the name of Zhenyuan Escort Agency transporting robbers. The only people who knew about them were Xuchanghua and Zhenyuan Escort Agency's escorts, and the escorts who escorts all went out of the Jiang Mansion. I secretly told them not to resist when they encountered robbers, and they didn't know what to read."

There are several old Longwei professors from Jiang Mansion who teach young martial arts. Zhang Keji chose the ones he can use to send them to the escort agency as escort. Jiang Mansion is the big customer of Zhenyuan escort agency. He can prosper and lose both sides. Of course, he accepts it happily. It is also a good thing for the escort agency and has enhanced his strength. Unexpectedly, Zhang Keji gradually penetrated his men into the escort school.

The wood has already been completed and Jiang Anyi was helpless. He sat back in the chair dejectedly. Zhang Keji smiled and said, "Xuchanghua received a letter and led his brothers to suppress the bandits in Qizhou one by one, and his power also expanded to Jiangzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, and many bandits came to form an alliance after hearing the news. Xuchanghua did not use his real name, but was named Qin Daguanren, commanding more than a hundred number of cross-cities, becoming the general leader, with more than ten thousand bandits under his command. If the lord wants to use it, send people to recruit people, most of these people can be included in the lord's command."

The cold sweat broke out and fucked. Jiang Anyi didn't know what to do. The three holes that Mr. Zhang created for him were a bit big, so big that he felt empty and had no place to fall in love.

Zhang Keji smiled and said, "It's very important to do extraordinary things. The lord is a great man, and I'm waiting for the success of the world to achieve a shocking career."
