In order to speed up the acquisition of armor, Jiang Fan entrusted Jian Jiayi to find two additional foundries.
The original production capacity of 1,000 pieces of armor per month suddenly increased to 3,500 pieces after adding two additional factories!
The production cost of these armors is high. If it weren't for the terrifying cash cow ability of Extraordinary Drinks, Jiang Fan would not be able to support the production of armors on such a scale.
Twenty thousand infantry, five thousand cavalry and horse gear. Since the production of cavalry and horse gear is far more complicated than that of infantry, it takes more time than infantry armor. It took almost ten months to finally produce all the armor.
All production completed!
During these ten months, the Wang family launched two tentative attacks on Handong County.
However, the results did not change each time.
With the cooperation of the Xuanjia Army and the Lin family's gunmen, the Wang family was completely defeated in two consecutive battles.
What made Wang even more frightened was that they attacked Handong County three times and dropped nearly 100,000 corpses, but they could not kill even a single person from the Xuanjia Army!
Such results have destroyed the confidence of all Wang's private armies.
In any case, it is impossible for you to fight against a group of nearly immortal enemies. No matter how tenacious your will is, you cannot continue to attack one after another knowing that it is tantamount to suicide.
In these several wars, the terrifying combat effectiveness displayed by the Xuanjia Army also attracted the attention of the wealthy families in the southern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Within ten months, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty had been completely divided into five forces.
The Yuwen family, the Cui family, the Zheng family, the Wang family, and the Lin family that occupied Handong County became the five major forces that took advantage of the situation after the split of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Among them, except for the Lin family, which only occupied one county in Handong County, the other four families divided up the remaining twelve counties in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Yuwen clan was the most powerful, occupying five counties. The Cui clan and the Zheng clan only occupied two counties each because they were directly bordering the Yuwen clan.
On the contrary, the Wang family occupied the land of three counties.
But the Wang family has become the most miserable one among the five major forces.
Three consecutive defeats made the Wang family clearly realize the strength gap between themselves and the Lin family.
No matter how much territory is occupied, it is useless if the troops under his command cannot fight.
Like a fat man who has become bloated, he looks astonishingly heavy, but has no fighting ability at all. He can only sit there obediently, waiting for others to take his life at any time.
Therefore, during this period of time, the Wang family was always in fear, fearing that at some point, the Lin family would come out of Handong County and attack their Wang family's territory.
After the other three families occupied the corresponding territory, they also stopped collectively with a tacit understanding, and then turned their attention to Handong County.
It was only a county, but it touched the hearts of everyone.
"Master, all the cities in Handong County have completed the Heyang transformation. During the reconstruction period, in accordance with your requirements, Master, any violations found in each city will be severely punished. So far, in ten months,
We dealt with a total of 642 officials and 72 elected representatives."
In the Heyang City Government Office, Tieniu was very capable and reported to Jiang Fan.
In the past ten months, Handong County has been very quiet. Except for three head-on attacks on the Wang family, all the rest of the time was spent on integrating Handong County.
At the same time, the border of Handong County was also sealed. Anyone who wanted to sneak into Handong County would be caught and interrogated strictly.
As a result, no one knows what Handong County has become in these ten months.
"Well, these people should be dealt with severely and give enough warning to the people behind. I know that it is impossible to ban things like corruption, but we must make them afraid and prevent them from being blatant. At least we must ensure that there is no fairness on the surface.
destroyed."
Jiang Fan nodded and continued: "There must be justice. Of course the privileged class will exist, but this kind of existence should not appear too much in front of ordinary people. Privilege can be reflected in the luxury enjoyment of life.
But try not to express it in oppressing the people."
"Yes, Master."
Tieniu bowed and agreed.
“Have all the tax reforms been completed?”
Jiang Fan looked at Chen Ang again and asked.
"At present, the tax on farming has been completely cancelled, and the supply and marketing cooperatives you proposed have been set up to ensure that farmers in Handong County can buy grain and other farming needs. The current taxes are mainly composed of commercial tax and personal income tax
It’s just that the personal income tax you proposed is currently relatively small and can be basically ignored.”
Chen Ang stepped out and said, while Tieniu retreated.
Lin Wanru sat next to Jiang Fan, listening to these reports with Jiang Fan with a calm expression.
During these ten months, Lin Wanru also tried to deal with some government affairs.
With the help of Jiang Fan, Chen Ang and others, there was no need to be in a hurry.
At least when listening to reports, being able to understand what was said is already a huge improvement.
"Personal income tax is mainly based on relatively high personal income. This foundation does not exist at present, so it is very normal to collect less. We just need to establish this structure and do not expect it to work temporarily. In terms of taxation,
You still have to rely on commercial taxes in the early stage.”
Jiang Fan said.
"That's right, according to your request, the various tax lists of the commercial tax together can almost reach the level of 10 taxes and 3 taxes, and the catering tax is about 10 taxes and 2 taxes. Since other head taxes and the like have been cancelled,
Relying solely on commercial tax, the current tax amount has actually increased compared to the past. You can view the specific details later."
Chen Ang said with a smile.
"How prepared is the military?"
Jiang Fan looked at Qiu Jianyi again and asked.
"Master, currently 20,000 Xuanjia troops and 5,000 Xuanjia cavalry are ready to go. In addition, the entire Handong County maintains a total of 400,000 standing troops. They are all trained according to the training issued by you, Master.
."
"The 400,000 standing troops, in addition to maintaining security in various cities, their most important task is to guard the border of Handong County. But... Young Master, do they really not need to participate in the next battle?"
Qiu Jian opened his mouth and said.
"No need, it's just a push. They just need to follow, occupy the city, and quickly stabilize the city's security. We are not here to kill people, nor are we here to destroy the entire Zhou Dynasty. We want to destroy the Zhou Dynasty as completely as possible.
Security takes over.”
Jiang Fan shook his head, stood up, and then said: "In that case, let's... send troops."
