Traveling Through Land Reclamation: Farmers' Women Can't Be Dizzled

Chapter 327 Forming an Alliance

  Before Lu Tingjie sent someone to investigate the status of the county magistrate in several surrounding counties, the county magistrate of Changning County in Lin County was a kind official who loved the people. He could not sleep for several days worried about the tax increase.

  Lu Tingjie personally went to Changning County to persuade Li Ji, the judge of Changning County.

  Li Ji heard that the Lu county magistrate from Yuanling County came to visit and greeted him personally. Lu Tingjie also made a lot of preparations this time, she chatted with Li Ji and exposed the various pros and cons. Eventually, Li Ji agreed to work with Yuanling County to counter Shangguan's oppression of the people.

  Lu Tingjie was overjoyed to see an ally coming, "Brother Li, don't worry, the defenders in Yuanling County are already on our side. Even if Governor Xue sends troops to suppress us, we are not afraid. Our troops in Yuanling County have sufficient capability against all invading enemies."

  Li Ji said: "What are you afraid of? If you continue to submit, the commoners will have no way to survive. Better to fight. Moreover, Governor Xue might not dare to send troops to attack us. There are riots everywhere. It is the officials who force the people to revolt. The lives of the commoners could not walk, and if they did not rebel, they would die. Even if

  prefect Xue wants to attack us, he might not have so many troops. Maybe they dare to bully people blatantly because they are our boss.

  Lu Tingjie nodded and said: "You're right. We have also sent people to investigate. Governor Xue could only deploy less than 10,000 troops. If he doesn't ask the court for help, he doesn't have the power to fight us .

  And According to the investigation, Taishou Xue had raised the tax personally, and he did not dare to ask the court for help. If we report their actions, they won't be able to explain it to the court. So we don't have to worry at all. I'll give your county some superior seeds this year. I'll also send someone to teach you how to grow some new crops."

  Li Ji was very happy when he heard that, "That's good. I heard that Yuanling County is because Mr. Liu donated a lot of high-yielding grains and new crops. That's why Yuanling County can accommodate so many refugees ?"

  Lu Tingjie said proudly: "Right, not only are the grains due to Mr. Liu's high harvest, but many of the shops in our Yuanling County were also opened by Mr. Liu. Soy sauce, miso sauce, etc.all made by Mr . Liu's. Now Merchants from all over the country came to our Yuanling County to purchase these items.

  It has also stimulated other store businesses. Naturally, business taxes have increased a lot. Now we have formed an alliance, Mr. Liu will definitely make Changning County rich."

  Li Ji said: "Brother Lu Xian, I want to visit Master Liu in a few days. Is comfortable?"

  Lu Tingjie said: "Brother Li is welcome to come to our Yuanling County, of course, I will inform Mr. Liu when I return. We should sweep the bed. Welcome to."

  Lu Tingjie and Li Ji chatted happily, and the two made an alliance agreement, and Changning County and Yuanling County would advance and retreat together. Li Ji and Lu Tingjie also arranged for time to visit Yuanling.Lu County

  Tingjie achieved his goal and returned to Yuanling County happily.

  Jing Yi happened to be in the county seat, so Lu Tingjie went to look for Jing Yi that day.

  As Lu Tingjie entered the courtyard gate, she hugged An An who was running and playing in the yard and kissed her several times, "An An, do you miss Uncle?" It's okay to say a few words

  .

  An knew Lu Tingjie very well because he saw her often. The little guy's voice was very loud, and he replied in a childish voice: "I think." Lu Tingjie laughed and said, "Uncle came out this time and

  bring a gift for An An.

  The party quickly took out a small windmill like a child playing with it from the basket it was carrying.

  Lu Tingjie took over the windmill and taught An An how to play.

  After a while, Lu Tingjie gave the child to Qiao Yan and entered the house.

  Jing Yi was looking at the ledger in the study. Today, the businesses of some workshops and shops are great, and it is no exaggeration to say that they make money every day. Jingyi had to look at the account books every month.

  Jing Yi was dizzying to read the account book that was kept by the Accountant Sir. Later, Jing Yi directly cited the next generation of bookkeeping methods, and trained accountants from various workshops and shops. It is now very easy to read book accounts.

  When Lu Tingjie saw the large stack of account books on Jing Yi's desk, he smiled and said, "You're getting busy now, it's not easy to see you. I think you need to coach more managers. "Jing Yi closed her eyes

  After finishing the account book, he said: "No way, the turnover every month is too much, so I have to see it. However, once the bookkeeping method is fixed, it is much easier to look at the account book now. I also chose the right manager. Candidates. How about you go to Changning County? Did you get results?" Lu

  Tingjie smiled and said, "Then Li Ji isn't a fool. Although the taxes Xue Wanhe paid for them were not as heavy as us, not low, the taxes that ordinary people had paid in the past had not been low, and if taxes were added up, it was low, the lives of the people will not survive. Li Ji knew that if the tax collection was not done by force, then it would not be able to collect the tax. But if tax collection is done by force, the people tend to rebel.

  Now rebellion is rampant everywhere, and that does not mean the government is forcing the people to rebel. Ordinary people couldn't survive, so why didn't they rebel. As soon as I mentioned our plan, he agreed without thinking. We also need to help Changning County grow high-yield grains and new crops It is too late for him to do so Be happy.

  The sweet potatoes you grow can produce more than 4,000 catties per mu, even if the yield of other people's crops grown two to three thousand catties is very high. How many people will be saved from starvation? Potatoes and sweet potatoes, as long as we collect a reasonable tax, the lives of ordinary people will be much better. What are we afraid of if we have the support of the people?" Jing Yi's

  nodding and saying: "It's good that Li Ji and we form an alliance. In the second half of the year Let Li Ji see the results. With our help, Changning County will soon become rich. At least the farmers will not go hungry anymore. "Lu Tingjie's

  said:" Li Ji will come to visit you in ten days, when you just wait in the county."

  Jing Yi nodded, "When Li Ji comes, let's call uncle, and then discuss with Li Ji, let Li Ji try to resettle the refugees from elsewhere. We can support those who do not have enough food, and we must expand our population as much as possible, so that we can expand the resources of our troops.

  Our current military strength is not enough, when we expand to 200,000 troops and train these 200,000 soldiers well, then we will not be defeated. Then we will not be afraid of anyone. Even if the imperial palace of Yi Kingdom sends a large army to suppress us, we are not afraid. "

  Furthermore, Jing Yi bought another property in the county seat as a warehouse for him to store food and other materials. Changning County might need it to support the food in the future, so it was better to prepare in advance. This year's tax has been partially collected

  , What farmers are harvesting is grain, so now some large warehouses in the district government are full of grain. This year's tax will not be handed over, and will immediately become a fund of Yuanling County activities. After all, Yuanling County

  there are now over 100,000 troops to support, and food is indispensable
