"Xuande has worked hard these days, but there are still things you need to do next.

The entire Xiandu County seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is built with its own money and goods. The government actually does not have much money. If we really count, the government may still owe us millions of dollars.

This Xiandu County is basically on the right track. I have exempted all the people from taxes for three years. It is not a problem for the county government to continue to take money from my pocket without income, so I plan to collect business taxes inside and outside the city, as well as real estate.

Transaction tax." Liu Xin said.

Liu Xin and Jian Yong looked at each other. Most of the shops in Xiandu County now belong to Liu Xin. He wants to ask the county government to collect his own taxes. Most people may not be able to do it, and it is not easy to collect real estate taxes.

, even if you issue a decree and the people should ignore you, there is nothing you can do. You cannot check every year whether the head of the household lives in the house or cultivates the land.

"Sir, we need to count all the cultivated land outside the city. Please tell us what the tax requirements are." Liu Bei said.

"The tax on house and shop transactions within the city is 5%, and the tax on land transactions outside the city is 10%," Liu Xin said.

"So expensive!" Jian Yong couldn't help but exclaimed.

"If the tax on housing is not higher, every time there is a war, a large family will take over the house and land at a low price, and then sell it at a high price. The poor will get poorer and the rich will get richer. In this way, it will be very difficult for the people to stabilize.

If we don't interfere and the land outside the city is handed over to the people, if there is a famine these lands will definitely fall into the hands of aristocratic families, and I think the 10% land title change tax is still too little!" Liu Xin said.

Liu Xin currently does not have the ability to help everyone achieve common prosperity. He can only try his best to use the system to make ordinary people live a slightly better life.

"So, I know! I will complete the deeds of all the real estate in Xiandu County within three months. Today, a family asked me whether the land outside the city is for sale now, but I have no answer!" Liu Bei said to Liu Xin!

.

"If we don't sell it now, if we have taken care of the land for more than two years and have the right of first refusal, we have to try our best to return the land to ordinary people!" Liu Xin said.

Liu Bei and Jian Yong nodded. Liu Xin was different from others in many ways. He did not consider his own interests at all, and rarely cared about the interests of wealthy families. Instead, he put the common people first.

This made them admire in their hearts. Many people know that officials serve the people, but there are basically no officials who can really serve ordinary people.

"My lord, I came here today to tell you something." Jian Yong waited for Liu Xin and Liu Bei to finish speaking before he spoke.

"What's going on?" Liu Xin asked.

"Recently, we have a lot more livestock in the city, and the prices of livestock have been declining. The speed of selling our goods has doubled since yesterday. This is actually nothing, but yesterday I found that the money we recovered was about two million yuan more.

"Jian Yong said.

Liu Xin paid wages to the people, and the people used the money to buy things. Logically speaking, part of the money was in the hands of the people, and the money in Liu Xin's hands could not increase.

If it increases slowly, it means that the wealthy family has saved a lot of money and is hoarding goods. However, this is the amount that increased yesterday, so someone must have suddenly stocked up a large amount of goods.

"What was the most sold thing when we went up yesterday, and what was the biggest change from before?" Liu Xin asked seriously.

This matter is not a big deal at all, but if the other party's economic strength is strong, it will in turn affect the price of goods in Xiandu County, which will not be good news for Liu Xin.

"It's mainly grain, salt, cloth, and tea. I suspect it's the Lu family's fault." Jian Yong said.

"You suspect that the Lu family is hoarding things for the Xianbei tribe? Then we should pay more attention to the movements of the Lu family!" Liu Xin said with a frown.

Grain, salt, and tea are all important strategic materials. The Lu family worked hard to support the Xianbei tribe. Liu Xin could not let them go. Suddenly thinking of his military talisman, Liu Xin had an idea.

"Xuande, can you think of a way to get to some powerful members of the Lu family? There will definitely be people among them who are unwilling to collude with the Lu family. If we can win over each other, when will the Lu family and the Xianbei tribe

Once we know the transaction and the location of the transaction, we can send troops to capture the entire Lu family," Liu Xin said.

"This...I'm afraid it won't be easy!" Liu Bei said looking at Liu Xin's dilemma.

"You can look for Jiang County Prime Minister or He County Lieutenant and slowly get to know the members of the Lu family step by step. You don't need to instigate rebellion against their core members, as long as they have the strength to reach elite soldiers. If the Lu family wants to transport goods to the Xianbei grassland, they will definitely bring strong combat power.

Let’s go.” Liu Xin said.

Liu Bei nodded after hearing this. It would be easier if he just found a few nursing staff. He was very confident in his ability to read people and his eloquence.

After Liu Bei and Jian Yong left, Zhou Tai came in with Zhang Fei, Fang Yue, Guan Hai, Cheng Yuanzhi, Li Zong and other generals. Guan Yu would lead his troops to patrol the north of the city tomorrow, leaving behind the protective military camp and not coming.

"Lord!" Zhou Tai and others saluted Liu Xin together. Only Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed. He was not Liu Xin's general, so he could only call Liu Xin "sir."

"But are you here for the Xianbei cavalry matter today?" Liu Xin guessed the purpose of Zhou Tai's visit today. Liu Xin usually went to the military camp, but they rarely came to see Liu Xin at night.

"Yes, my lord! Today, Junhou Zhang killed 19 Xianbei cavalrymen. Two of them escaped. It is very likely that they will not let us go easily and send more people over. We have to prepare early before listening." Zhou

As the leader of Liu Xin's generals, Tai spoke.

"What do you think?" Liu Xin asked Zhou Tai.

"It will take at least three months for the new military camp to be built. If the Xianbei cavalry comes, we will either fight them to the death or let all the people flee into the city.

A few of us have discussed that the Xianbei cavalry can come to rob our territory, why can't we go to their territory. With our strength, we can make trouble in the Xianbei tribe area for three months, and we will come back after the military camp is built, so that we can also attack our territory.

If the enemy knows more about us, they will not easily enter Xiandu County if they are involved by us," Zhou Tai said.

Liu Xin saw other people's eyes light up. They were all jealous when they knew that Zhang Fei had achieved military exploits today. This Xiandu County is still in a stage of rapid development. There are new buildings and expansions everywhere inside and outside the city. Every day they just make soil.

There are more than 500 people in Brick. If the Xianbei cavalry arrives at this time, all their development rhythm will be completely interrupted.

Thinking of the Lu family hoarding goods and possibly trading with the Xianbei cavalry, Liu Xinjue thought this was a good idea. Apart from the Xianbei cavalry, it was difficult for the entire Xiandu County to encounter other enemies. Even if the Wuhuan cavalry came, he would train them outside the city.

Many times, the people at home have 1,500 infantrymen who are not afraid of a small number of cavalry.

He has more than 500 cavalry, and all the high-level battles are dedicated. On the one hand, he can train his cavalry combat capabilities. In the event of a war, 4 captains will lead all the cavalry. Their combat effectiveness will not be worse than that of the special cavalry. Thinking of this, Liu Xin agreed to their plan.
