Chapter 115 Don’t worry, my lord, we have a good strategy

Liu Xian sneered and said: "Isn't that what Mr. Liu wanted to reduce taxes? General Yuan and Shijun Yuan did not ask you to reduce or reduce taxes on the people."

Zhou Xing immediately answered: "What Liu Biejia means is that General Yuan and Yuan Qingzhou are lying about their kindness to the people? How can the fourth generation of the Yuan family, General Yuan and his son be unkind and virtuous people?"

!"

"I didn't mean that!"

Liu Xian hurriedly defended, fearing that these words would reach Yuan Tan's ears. After all, rumors are terrible.

"Then what does Liu Biejia mean? Shouldn't taxes be reduced or reduced for the people?" Zhou Xing asked, staring at Liu Xian.

"Humph, I won't argue with you about this. In short, I am here to tell you on the order of Yuan Shijun that you must immediately pay two million yuan and 50,000 shi of food to the state capital. Otherwise, you are treason. Yuan Shijun will immediately lead

The soldiers came to beg for it. Liu Xuande, think about it carefully, do you have to pay money and food?"

Liu Xian became angry from shame and looked at Zhou Xing with eyes full of hatred, thinking in his heart that when Yuan Zhoumu led his troops to attack him, he would die.

Liu Bei said with a grimace: "Liu Biejia, we really can't afford so much money and food!"

"I don't care if you have money or food. All I'm asking you now is whether you will pay or not?" Liu Xian's voice was cold, which immediately sent a chill through Liu Bei's heart.

Liu Bei was really disappointed at the moment. Regardless of whether he surrendered or not, the result would be very bad.

If paid, this is 2 million yuan and 50,000 stone grains, which can feed many soldiers and horses. Especially now that I have just started, these money and grains are even more valuable.

If you don't hand it over, don't think about it, then next time it won't be Liu Xian who comes, but Yuan's troops.

Judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao must have been suspicious of him, so he deliberately forced himself to go against his will and used this as an excuse to send troops to attack.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao was still a man who wanted to save face, so he did not send troops immediately because he wanted to make a name for himself.

Do you really want to send him money and food?!

Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt pain in his heart.

If this were the case, he would be considered a loser before and would have to start all over again. How could anyone be willing to do so!

But if you don't give it, and Yuan's soldiers and horses come to attack, can you stop it? Even if you can stop it, it will be difficult for you to develop.

Or, contact Gongsun Zan and join forces with him to deal with Yuan Shao?

However, now that Gongsun Zan has built Yijing to defend himself, he may not dare to send troops south to fight Yuan Shao.

No matter what, you can give it a try. Anyway, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to give him money or food. If he really can't defend Beihai and Donglai, he will run back to Zhuojun and start over again, or go to Langya and join forces with Zang Ba.

, plotting to seize Xuzhou.

At this moment, Liu Bei's fierce temper rose, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

If he prepares for the worst, he won't have so many worries.

Just when Liu Bei was about to tell Liu Xian that he had no money or food to pay, Zhou Xing's voice suddenly sounded: "Pay, of course I have to pay. Since it is General Yuan and Yuan Shijun who insist on doing so, no matter how painful and difficult it is,

We will also collect two million yuan and fifty thousand stone grain and give them to Yuan Shijun."

Liu Bei was stunned by Zhou Xing's words.

Only then did he remember that he still had a military advisor!

The resourceful Zhou military advisor may be able to solve such a matter.

But he didn't expect that Military Advisor Zhou would agree so readily. Did Military Advisor Zhou really want to hand over the money and food?

Liu Bei looked at Zhou Xing with a questioning look.

Zhou Xing had a smile on his face and nodded slightly.

Obviously, Military Advisor Zhou must have thought of a solution.

Liu Bei quickly suppressed the anger that had just risen, forced a smile on his face, did not speak, and just nodded to Liu Xian, indicating that what Military Advisor Zhou said was what he meant.

Liu Xian was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhou Xing's words. Now he saw Liu Bei nodding to him, indicating that Zhou Xing's words can be counted.

"Are you really willing to hand over two million yuan and fifty thousand stone grain?"

Liu Xian still couldn't believe it. Based on his understanding of Liu Bei, he shouldn't be willing to pay for food.

"We dare not disobey the orders of General Yuan and Shijun Yuan, but..." Zhou Xing dragged out his voice for a long time.

"Just what?" Liu Xian asked hurriedly, expecting that the other party would not readily agree to hand over the money and food.

"It's just that if we are asked to hand over money and food immediately, we really can't do it. We really can't get so much money and food from the treasury. There needs to be a time limit for us to raise money and food."

"Hahaha," Liu Xian laughed loudly, "Commander Zhou, I heard that you are very resourceful. When I saw you today, it turned out to be true. Do you want to use the procrastination technique? You want to delay it again and again, but finally let it go.

? Tell me, do you want to give you one year, three years, or five years to raise funds?"

"It doesn't take that long, just three months."

Zhou Xing's words shocked everyone in the room, including Liu Xian.

Liu Xian thought that he expected that the other party wanted to delay the payment for a year or two before handing over the two million yuan and 50,000 stone grain. However, by that time, the money and grain that Liu Bei should pay would be far more than this amount.

.

Now Zhou Xing says it only takes three months. Does he really want to hand over the money and food?

"Are you sure it only takes three months?" Liu Xian asked seriously.

"Military advisor, can we raise so much money and food in three months?" Liu Bei asked.

Liu Bei still doesn't know what Zhou Junshi's plan is, but he heard that the money and food will be handed over in three months. This time is too short. If you want to delay, just delay for a few more months. If it doesn't work for one year, half a year, three Months passed in a blink of an eye, and it was difficult for me to prepare myself.

Jian Yong and Sun Qian also looked at Zhou Xing nervously, waiting for his answer.

"Lord, three months is enough." Zhou Xing nodded to Liu Bei and replied.

Liu Bei saw the confident look on Zhou Xing's face and believed that the military advisor must have a perfect plan, and his tense face gradually relaxed.

Zhou Xing turned to Liu Xian and said: "Liu Biejia, the rice and wheat will be ripe at this time. In three months, the rice and wheat will have been harvested, and then enough food will be available. At the same time, please ask Liu Biejia to tell the envoy Yuan Sir, if we want to raise two million dollars, we must change our previous tax reduction policy."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"The calculation of the tax must be changed to the original calculation of one hundred and twenty yuan, and it is levied starting from the age of fifteen. We will step up the collection of the money within these three months. As for the land tax..."

Liu Bei hurriedly interjected: "The field tax cannot be changed. Now that the people are at peace and farming has just resumed, many waste fields have received very little. The tax of fifteen to one is already heavy, so we must not charge more!"

Zhou Xing was secretly happy in his heart. He had been waiting for Liu Bei's words. The lord really cared about the people and truly thought about them.

"The land tax rate does not need to be changed, Lord, but in this way, we have to reduce our troops and save food. Now that the bandits in the two counties of Donglai and Beihai have been eliminated, we no longer need to keep so many soldiers and horses. We can keep only Two thousand soldiers, the remaining soldiers are ordered to return to the fields to cultivate."

As Zhou Xing spoke, he winked at Liu Bei to make him agree with what he said.

Although Liu Bei understood, he hesitated before saying: "Yes, there are no Yellow Turban bandits in the two counties of Donglai and Beihai now. We don't need to keep so many troops."

"In this way, after three months, we should be able to raise 2 million yuan and 50,000 stone grains and hand them over to Yuan Shijun." Zhou Xing looked at Liu Xian and said.

Liu Xian had been listening carefully. What these two people said seemed to be true. Maybe they really wanted to send money and food to the plains in three months.

And Zhou Xing said that the rice and wheat are indeed not ripe yet. In three months, the rice and wheat will be harvested, and then the food problem will be solved.

It is not easy to collect people's calculation money. Many people have to pay the calculation money in many installments, and there are many who even fail to pay enough in one year.

If they charge additional fees, it shouldn't be difficult to come up with two million dollars in three months.

It seems that they really want to hand over money and food.

Liu Xian asked with doubts: "Are you sure you can pay all the money and food in three months?"

Zhou Xing looked at Liu Bei and said nothing. He wanted Liu Bei to answer in person.

Liu Bei nodded to Liu Xian and said: "OK."

"Okay, I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll wait until I go back and see if Yuan Shijun agrees. It's April now, and it will be July in three months. If Yuan Shijun agrees to your request, we will

Come and collect money and food.”

Liu Xian believed that Yuan Tan would agree to Liu Bei's request. After all, he only had three months.

Liu Bei personally escorted Liu Xian out of the mansion. After returning to the mansion, he took Zhou Xing's hand and asked urgently: "Military advisor, do you really want to hand over the money and food?"
