"My lord is indeed wise. I bet Yuan Hao won't say anything else this time!"

Guo Jia laughed when he saw that Yuan Shu had easily made a big deal and the money he received far exceeded Yangzhou's taxes.

"It's not Yuan Hao's fault. If it weren't for the reality, you probably wouldn't believe Fengxiao."

Guo Jia smiled calmly: "Jia doesn't believe this, but Jia believes in the Lord."

"Jia asked himself that his ability to read people is not weak. My lord is not a stubborn and stubborn person, nor is he indifferent to right from wrong, mediocre and incompetent. Since my lord made such a decision in front of everyone, it must have been carefully considered.

It’s not just a moment of hot-headedness.”

Seeing Guo Jia's confident smile, Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then he also smiled.

"Hahaha, what a Guo Fengxiao, you are flattering me in another way! But you are right, no one may believe some things, but I know it is certain."

Hearing Yuan Shu's slightly arrogant words, Guo Jia didn't care. If a hero has no self-confidence and no independent opinions, what is the difference between a hero and a puppet?

"By the way, my lord, Jia needs a lot of money here. I hope my lord can allocate it."

"Oh?" Yuan Shu looked at Guo Jia in surprise and said teasingly: "You, Guo Fengxiao, are still short of money. Which restaurant do you owe wine money to?"

Guo Jia's face froze: "My lord, you are just kidding me. My lord must know that Jia has his own intelligence system."

Yuan Shu nodded.

When he first arrived in Jizhou to meet Tian Feng, Guo Jia came to visit him. What a coincidence.

In addition, Dong Zhuo had just come to Beijing to cause trouble, and Guo Jia got the news.

It seems that the intelligence system under Guo Jia's command is not simple. Although it is slightly inferior to the Yuan family, it is still good and trustworthy.

Yuan Shu could only sigh with emotion that Guo Fengxiao was indeed born, and he had already done so many things before he even chose his master.

Yuan Shu still has the atlas of the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty that Guo Jia turned in before in his room.

Although it mainly depicts the cities and terrain in the north in detail, while the south is vague, it is just right for Yuan Shu.

These goods from the south are not heroes, they can be collected by themselves at will.

Unlike the north, where there is a large population and heroes dancing around, your final enemy is still those tycoons from the north.

Guo Jia began to travel around the world as early as five years ago, setting up his own intelligence network in important cities and recording the topography of each place along the way.

Yuan Shu also arranged a huge sand table, listing all the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty on the sand table.

For unclear places, the Yuan family's records or the people under Guo Jia's command were sent to investigate. Now the sand table of the map of the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty is very detailed.

All the generals were shocked when they saw it. This was a strategic artifact!

In fact, it's not a big deal, it doesn't have any technical content, it's just that no one thought of it.

Now that Guo Jia mentioned the intelligence organization under his command, Yuan Shu understood.

The world is in chaos, and the intelligence system under Guo Jia also needs to be expanded.

Yuan Shu nodded: "How much do you need to be a filial piety?"

"About 100,000 guan per month."

Yuan Shu agreed without any hesitation.

"Fengxiao, the intelligence organization under your command must be carefully arranged, especially places like Chang'an, Yecheng, Xuchang, and Xuzhou. You must pay more attention."

"Moreover, it is best to maintain a single line of communication between superiors and subordinates. That is, subordinates do not know who their superiors are, nor do they know who are the intelligence personnel with the same status as themselves, but they know where to receive orders from their superiors and provide information. Released

Orders and receiving messages are given by superiors to subordinates on their own initiative, and superiors cannot meet with subordinates..."

Although Yuan Shu didn't know the specific details of the intelligence organization, he still knew the general system after watching so many intelligence films. He told Guo Jia a lot of what he knew in a messy manner.

Guo Jia was very surprised that Yuan Shu had such a deep understanding of the intelligence system. After referring to Yuan Shu's suggestions, he began to redesign and plan his own intelligence network.

Since then, an airtight net has slowly formed to cover the world in darkness.

Yuan Shu also has an extra trump card, Ghost Fox.

Returning to the general's palace, Yuan Shu summoned his advisers, announced the good news to them, and prepared to start a new step in the "prodigal" plan.

"Hospital!"

"No, lord, this is absolutely impossible!"

It's Tian Feng again, this stubborn one.

Yuan Shu secretly complained in his heart, but when he saw Tian Feng said angrily: "Although my lord has obtained a lot of money and food with the help of the Zhen family this time, we in Jiangdong are still unable to make ends meet! My lord, you must know that the army under our command is not only

The military pay has been increased, and my lord has stipulated that you must see meat and fish meat twice a week. What a huge expense! In addition, there are so many new refugees coming, and a lot of money and food are needed to arrange for them. The new arrangement

Lord officials, you have also raised their salaries, said that high salaries are needed to maintain integrity, and you have also established a separate supervision department. All these combined, I in Yangzhou have to spend nearly 10 million yuan in food every month, how can I afford it!"

Seeing Tian Feng getting more and more excited as he talked, and it was obvious that he had been holding it in for a long time, Yuan Shu also felt guilty.

It seems that he has issued so many "prodigal" decrees recently despite Tian Feng's objections.

But Yuan Shu knew in his heart that he had to give up and get something. How to make money without spending money? How to hide wealth among the people?

If nothing else, requiring the soldiers to eat meat twice a week can not only greatly improve the physical fitness and enthusiasm of the soldiers, but also improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

It also promoted the enthusiasm of people in Jiangdong for raising livestock and fishing for fish and shrimp.

You know, Yuan Shu not only asked the Zhen family and the Yuan family to bring a large amount of cattle and horses, money and food, but also a large number of livestock cubs.

Yuan Shu ordered that they be distributed per head to the people under his command. After they were raised, the government would purchase them collectively.

The purchase price was clearly marked by Yuan Shu per kilogram. It was not difficult to raise chickens or ducks. Yuan Shu did not charge the cost and gave away the livestock. When the purchase was made, the money for the cubs would be deducted.

The common people were not stupid either. Yuan Shu clearly marked the price and guaranteed it in the name of the government. It did not take much food and energy to cultivate these things, so naturally everyone was very active.

In particular, Yuan Shu has now purchased livestock meat at unlimited high prices, which has attracted countless people to hunt wild animals and fish.

Later, Yuan Shu also put forward many suggestions and policy support, such as raising fish in rice fields and digging fish ponds for everyone at a low cost.

In short, the whole of Yangzhou is now in a state of excitement. The people no longer have to worry about whether they can survive. On the contrary, they are fighting for how to live a better life.

Many gangsters from aristocratic families couldn't sit still when they saw that Jiangdong's current policies were so good. Even if you knew nothing or had nothing, you could support yourself and even make some money by joining the government's construction team.

Many people secretly re-registered their household registrations with Yuan Shu and became official residents.

Many aristocratic families looked worried, but there was nothing they could do. After all, these people were arranged together by Yuan Shu to protect them.

Apart from constantly warning the gangsters under their command and improving their treatment, the family had nothing to do about it.

Another important reason why the people suddenly became rich was Yuan Shu's strength.

Under strict supervision, the vast majority of officials and aristocratic families no longer dare to openly exploit the people and collect miscellaneous taxes.

Although the original common people said that the government only levied 20% of the tax, due to various exorbitant taxes and land rent, it was good to have 30% of the food left in their hands.

Now Yuan Shu has exempted all miscellaneous taxes and only levied 20% of the grain tax. If anyone else collects more taxes in any way, as long as the people react, just wait for Yuan Shu to deal with you! And the extra grain grown can be controlled by the government.

Purchase at a unified and clearly marked price.

Since the land rent was too heavy, Yuan Shu encouraged the reclamation of wasteland and made it clear that it would not be occupied by anyone.
