"Yes, Lord County Magistrate, we will agree to whatever you ask for!"
President Guanghui said.
Their territory and power are all in Pingyun County.
Although the occupied city has fallen into Qin Yuan's hands.
However, some of the villages and towns established before were built by them by investing a lot of resources.
If we are really forced to leave Pingyun County, then everything will be in vain...
You know, it's been almost two months since the game was launched.
If it's just one person who deletes his account and starts over again, that's still acceptable.
If the entire guild started from scratch, its development would lag far behind other guilds.
Basically cutting off the potential for future development.
Even if we leave Pingyun County, development in other areas will only be more difficult.
The territory in other counties is basically occupied by various guilds. How can we let them settle in and get a share of the pie?
Therefore, even if Qin Yuan makes a request that is not too excessive, they can accept it.
The last point is that Qin Yuan is now barely regarded as a vassal force and does not listen to the imperial court's instructions.
Compared with other princes in the late Han Dynasty, Qin Yuan was already one step ahead of them.
What's more, Qin Yuan's strength is indeed very powerful.
If he can join Qin Yuan's command, he will be better than most princes.
This is also the speculation of some players, and they even make investments based on it.
It is believed that since Qin Yuan was able to defeat Gongsun Zan once, he may not be unable to defeat Gongsun Zan a second time and a third time, thereby replacing Gongsun Zan and becoming the vassal force in the north.
"That's exactly what I want to say next!"
"Anyone who wants to stay in Pingyun County will be charged a head tax per person!!"
Qin Yuan said.
"Then how is this poll tax calculated?"
Gypsophila asked.
"It's very simple. There are two types of head tax collections. The first one collected by strangers is ten taels of gold!"
"In addition, civilians or military soldiers who belong to foreigners will receive one tael of gold per person!"
Qin Yuan looked at everyone, "So, if you want to stay, you must go through the legal procedures and pay the head tax! If you don't want to stay, this is your last chance. Take your people and leave Pingyun County without me.
With my permission, you are not allowed to take another step into Pingyun County, otherwise it will be regarded as a war against me!"
"Twelve taels of gold!"
Everyone exclaimed.
This is ten taels of gold, not ten taels of silver, or ten copper coins!
It’s enough for a family of five to live comfortably for several years!
It is almost equivalent to the cost of changing classes of an elite soldier.
If they had gritted their teeth before, maybe they could have accepted it.
But now, all the money they collected has fallen into Qin Yuan's hands, how can they afford such a sky-high fee?
This is ten taels of gold per person. Some guilds often have hundreds or thousands of people, which is tens of thousands of taels of gold.
Who can accept it?
Moreover, even the soldiers and civilians under their command pay one tael of gold per person!
Even the first guild in the Han District doesn't have the financial resources.
Everyone lamented again and again.
It seems that Qin Yuan must drive them away.
After all, even if they stay, the benefits created by one person will not amount to more than ten taels of gold.
"Okay, does Magistrate Qin have anything else to say?"
Gypsophila said.
She could see why Qin Yuan did this.
Naturally, the head tax is used to expel most of the players.
Let some players with strength and capital stay.
The number of such players is certainly not large enough to form a strong force.
In this way, it will be more convenient for Qin Yuan's management.
After all, players played an important role in the previous rebellion.
If Baihua Palace takes control of Pingyun County, it will inevitably strictly control the players.
"Third point, I plan to open up Pingyun County's foreign trade and create multiple trade routes from the Central Plains to Youzhou and then beyond the Great Wall!"
"As well as these channels, they are all controlled by some aristocratic families and ordinary people cannot participate. I believe you are also very aware of this!"
"Now I will open the door to some powerful strangers and issue legal business permissions!"
Qin Yuan said again.
"Caravan trade!"
The players exclaimed again.
This is a hugely profitable business.
After one trip, the benefits can be multiplied several times!
The Yun family relied on this to earn a lot of money and became the richest man in Pingyun County.
Players naturally know this very well.
But doing business is not just about doing business.
Most of the channels are in the hands of aristocratic families.
At the same time, if you want to do business in various places, you also need business rights and customs clearance documents issued by the government.
Otherwise it is illegal trade.
Once discovered, it will be the result of a house raid.
Among the players, there are also many players who are engaged in this business.
However, the scale is not as large as the aboriginal forces, and they have to find ways to avoid the government.
If you are unlucky and get caught, you will lose both your life and money.
"Finally good news!"
The stars in the sky brightened up.
After hearing about this business right, everyone thought of the interests behind it.
Of course, they also understand that Qin Yuan is using players to transport goods from the outside world to Pingyun County through trade, which is beneficial to the development of Pingyun County.
But it's definitely a win-win result.
Many guilds can use this to bring them back to life.
They even transformed into a chamber of commerce. With their strength and the many players and soldiers under their command, they are even more powerful than the Yun family.
It's just that the financial resources are a little weaker.
But it doesn't matter, because as long as they get this business right, they can attract foreign investment.
As soon as the news is released, I don’t know how many guilds and consortiums want to inject capital!
"The fourth point is to open up the Yanshan Mountains. Anyone or any force who discovers a new mining area can obtain permission to mine with the government!"
"Furthermore, Pingyun County has opened up its weapons casting authority. As long as the forces that have obtained legal operating rights can create weapons and weapons, they can trade them freely!"
"Within the boundaries of Pingyun County, it will no longer be illegal to sell soldiers and armor privately!"
Qin Yuan once again dropped a bombshell.
In ancient times, although martial arts were prosperous, everyone in the world had a sword.
There are even shops in some cities that sell weapons such as swords and guns.
However, there are also some contraband items!
For example, crossbows and armor are strictly prohibited from being bought, sold or kept privately.
Once discovered, it is a serious crime.
The government is still very strict in investigating this aspect.
Even among players, if you build some weapons in your own village, the government will not look into it.
But once it is bought and sold, even in large quantities, the government will definitely investigate!
This business of selling weapons is also only controlled by some wealthy families. Ordinary people cannot participate at all, let alone groups like players.
But now, Qin Yuan is planning to make this legal and open it to the player community, which is simply too surprising.
"But will the imperial court agree?"
Gypsophila asked.
Surprises are surprises, but the actual situation must still be taken into consideration.
“I don’t know if the imperial court allows it or not, and I don’t care if it’s legal in other places!”
"But in Pingyun County, I have the final say!"
Qin Yuan said seriously.
"That's good!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with joy on their faces.
Although Qin Yuan transformed from a mountain bandit to a court official.
However, there is not a lot of gangsterism in him.
Pingyun County seemed to have returned to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but in fact, it was still a land outside the law.
Here, Qin Yuan has the final say.
The law of Pingyun County is the law of Qin Yuan.
Many things prohibited by the imperial court can be done in Pingyun County, and it will even attract many desperadoes and interest groups to join.
Overall, for Qin Yuan, this has great advantages and disadvantages. In order to earn a lot of money and develop his power quickly, he has to take risks.
"At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of traveling caravans, I will continue to open the exchange rights for advanced arms and elite arms transfer quotas!"
"The advanced unit is worth fifty taels of silver, and the elite unit is worth thirty taels of gold!"
Qin Yuan added, "This military class transfer quota can only be redeemed by forces that have obtained business rights!"
As soon as these words came out, the players were shocked again.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yuan would even increase their quota for selling troops and transferring their classes!
And the value is several times lower than before, so they can accept it.
Calculated in this way, the head tax of ten taels of gold per person is really not expensive!
After the meeting ended, the players quickly passed the news back.
The content of this meeting, in short, was that Qin Yuan drove away most of the players, especially the individual players.
Some guild forces with strength and capital were left behind to participate in Qin Yuan's money-making plan.
In troubled times, besides food, what is the most important thing?
army!
What the army needs to wear is, of course, weapons and armor!
But now, in addition to the troops affiliated to the imperial court, which have standard armor, only some private armies trained by aristocratic families have complete sets of equipment.
Among the players, there are only a handful of forces that can possess large quantities of standard equipment.
Therefore, this armor will be a sought-after item in the future, and it contains countless benefits.
If you have food in your hands, you may not be able to sell it.
But weapons and equipment are not afraid of losing sales at all.
Of course the risks are not small.
This business of making armor and selling equipment is legal and compliant in Qin Yuan's territory, but outside Pingyun County, it is a serious crime.
At the same time, in addition to making money, it is also a good opportunity to improve your strength.
The combat units under Qin Yuan's command are very powerful, and the quota is very rare.
In order to improve their strength, the player group is willing to spend all their money.
This is also the most important part of Qin Yuan's arrangement.
It seems to be a win-win situation, everyone makes money together and improves their strength together.
In fact, the money earned by the player will be exchanged for the combat units under his command, and the money will flow into Qin Yuan's pocket.
As for the types of troops!
That is Qin Yuan’s deeper layout!
Someone is helping to raise soldiers for free. Where can I find such a good thing?
"Opening up the equipment trade will definitely earn us a lot of money!"
"However, there must be many mixed forces involved!"
"Pingyun County is our foundation and must not be chaotic!"
Qin Yuan said with a solemn expression.
"Lord, don't worry, I will definitely control these players!"
Liu Bowen said, "If anyone is disobedient, their residence qualifications and business rights will be deprived. I believe no one will think of making trouble or even offending us!"
"Indeed, in the face of sufficient interests, no one will mess around!"
Qin Yuan smiled.
His plan was only spread in Pingyun County in the mythical world.
But in the real world, it exploded.
Many people have seen the huge benefits hidden behind this.
In particular, if you want to improve your strength, wearing equipment is undoubtedly the fastest way.
At present, in most areas of the Han Dynasty, it is illegal to make weapons privately.
Players also only dare to build equipment in their own villages.
Even so, once discovered by the government, he will be severely punished.
Pingyun County's open approach will naturally be sought after by players.
Many forces even plan to settle in Pingyun County and build some blacksmith shops here to build equipment.
Qin Yuan's move brought many player groups to the same front.
The only thing to worry about is the pressure from the court.
Once this matter is discovered, the court will definitely not tolerate it.
"Half a year, half a year is enough!"
Qin Yuan murmured.
Anyway, there will be the Yellow Turban Rebellion in half a year.
He will become a rebel again.
As for the imperial court, it doesn't matter whether they will deprive him of his officials and send troops to attack him.
"My lord, Gongsun Hong has come with the ransom. Do you want to meet him in person?"
Liu Bowen asked.
"No need, just leave this matter to you!"
"With the player's head tax and the ransom from the Gongsun family, the money in our hands should be 20 million taels!"
"Convert this money into needed strategic resources as soon as possible!"
Qin Yuan paused and then said, "By the way, return Gongsun Yue's body to Gongsun Zan and say that he couldn't bear the humiliation of being captured and committed suicide in prison. They can conduct an autopsy!"
This is a backup plan left by Qin Yuan.
Gongsun Yue indeed committed suicide.
Even if Gongsun Zan had doubts about this matter, it could not be blamed on Qin Yuan.
At least, Qin Yuan will not leave any clue to Gongsun Zan.
"OK!"
Liu Bowen nodded. "In terms of grain, we have been purchasing these days and have exceeded 10 million units!"
"Okay, then the day of the Northern Expedition will be set in three days!"
"Please inform Bai Qi by the way!"
Qin Yuan responded.
When Pingyun County was undergoing major reforms.
A place thousands of miles away beyond the Great Wall.
The northern part of the Yanshan Mountains!
At the foot of the towering mountains lies endless grassland.
In this grassland, there are yurts stretching for dozens of miles.
White tents were connected one after another to form a white sea, among which fierce horses of different colors, black and brown, were lining up, and a cavalryman wearing armor was lining up on the grassland.
There are nearly a million Wuhuan cavalry stationed here!
Wuhuan, also known as Wuwan, is one of the nomadic foreign tribes in the north outside the Great Wall.
It was originally a branch of the Donghu tribe alliance with Xianbei. Later, it was divided into several tribes, each of which had their own affairs. A unified tribal alliance has never been formed!
Today, the most powerful tribe within the Wuhuan tribe is the tribe where Qiu Liju belongs.
Qiu Liju called himself the Chanyu of Wuhuan and was the nominal king of the Wuhuan tribe.
However, Wuhuan exists in the form of a tribe and actually has actual control rights except for its own tribe and surrounding tribes.
The control over other tribes was extremely low, not even as good as the imperial court at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Now stationed in the northern part of Yanshan, he is carrying out Qiu Liju's mission to go south to attack Youzhou, and merges with Qiu Liju's own tribe.
It was a tribe named Wutu.
Its strength ranks among the top five among the Wuhuan tribes!
This time, they are the main force attacking Youzhou.
But many days ago, they sent 300,000 vanguard troops across Yanshan Mountain and into Pingyun County.
They originally wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in Pingyun County to cause trouble, but in the end they were completely destroyed by the entire army.
The news of the destruction of the vanguard army finally came back after many days!
