Li Xukong arrived in the city of Enchuan in the evening, and Ning Yue went out of the city to greet him. The two looked at each other and smiled. They were both calm and did not directly talk about the things they cared about in front of everyone.

Ning Yue learned that Li Xukong seemed to have a cold personality, but was a good official who did practical things for the people's livelihood. So he politely led Li Xukong to wander around in Sichuan City. Whether it was the military camp in the North City or the bustling street markets in the other three urban areas, they were not covered by the Ganzhou Governor's eyes.

Along the way, Li Xukong also witnessed the strength of the army entering Sichuan City, and more of it saw the prosperity of the market, gradually showing a thoughtful look.

When the Qiankun Sect sect appeared in front of Li Xukong, Yunzhou Mu's face changed. Although the Qiankun Sect's sect was not even as grand as the original eight sects of the Gan Kingdom, the soldiers stationed inside and outside the sect all showed that the only sect in Ganzhou now had a close relationship with Ning Yue.

Li Xukong stopped in front of the Qianyuan Sect and glanced at the huge sectarian building in the center of the city of Sichuan. He knew that Ning Yue was showing him the strength of the garrison, but he was not sure whether Ning Yue took the opportunity to demonstrate.

Li Xukong looked at Ning Yue deeply, thinking that although this Ganzhou chief executive had not cooperated with his civil and political implementation, he did not secretly make any trouble. The only conflict between the two now is the use of taxes. After all, there is only such a crux of the time being.

Thinking of this, Li Xukong spoke directly and said, "Master Bai, this time Li is here to find you, and there are indeed some things to discuss. You and I are responsible for the military and political parties of Ganzhou. If some things are not discussed clearly, I am worried that some conflicts will arise in the future, which will be unfavorable to the development of Ganzhou."

Ning Yue kept thinking about when Li Xukong would speak to him. At this time, when Li Xukong's statement was heard, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He naturally knew the crux of the conflict between the two sides, but if he wanted him to give up some large-scale taxes in Ganzhou, he would never agree.

Military construction requires large tax support, and he has always regarded it as the top priority.

Although Ning Yue was thinking this way, he was still very polite to Li Xukong and replied: "I am sure what Li Zhoumu is going to say, but I have asked someone to prepare a dinner party. Why don't we talk about these things in detail at the dinner party."

When Li Xukong heard this, he replied indifferently: "The guest follows the host's will. I didn't expect that General Manager Bai is so reasonable. I think that the dinner tonight will be quite enjoyable."

Ning Yue politely led Li Xukong into Qiankun Sect's sect. Luo Yaoji greeted him and led them to the Welcoming Hall.

The dinner was ready, and there was only a banquet in the huge hall, without any guards or attendants. Amid Luo Yaoji's instructions, several maids brought the dishes and wines, and they all retreated, only she was staying.

Li Xukong walked into the hall, exclaimed a few times before he had a banquet with Ning Yue.

Luo Yaoji poured wine for the two of them, and then knelt beside the banquet, responsible for pouring wine with vegetables.

After Ning Yue invited the wine, he drank a glass with Li Xukong. Li Xukong looked open-minded and had no worries. He drank a glass of wine lightly before sighing: "Good wine, good wine, especially the wine poured by Luo Duwei, I think few people in this world can taste it."

Luo Yaoji's eyes fluttered, and she looked up and glanced at Ning Yue. Seeing that Ning Yue looked as usual, she couldn't help but smile at Li Xukong: "Li Zhoumu is too good. On weekdays, Luo Yaoji just handles some trivial matters for the chief executive. Today, the chief executive said that he would invite the provincial governor to have a banquet. Of course, I am responsible for this kind of matter."

Ning Yue also smiled and said to Li Xukong: "I know that Lord Zhou Mu has to discuss some things with me today, but on weekdays, I have too many things that are done by Yao Ji, so if she has something here, she can explain more in detail."

Li Xukong looked at Ning Yue and Luo Yaoji, and his cold expression also showed a smile on his face, and said bluntly: "Since General Manager Bai understands why he is here, I might as well say it bluntly..."

Li Xukong coughed lightly and continued, "Master Bai also knows that now Ganzhou is rebuilt after the war, and financial taxes are the top priority. If it is used in a suitable place, it will be twice the result with half the effort. Now Ganzhou is becoming more and more stable. I think these taxes should be used in industrial and commercial trade, so that Ganzhou can prosper faster."

Luo Yaoji filled Ning Yue and Lu Xukong with wine again. After hearing this, Ning Yue couldn't help but raise his hand to ask for the wine, and drank another glass with Li Xukong.

Ning Yue looked at Li Xukong and looked at him with his eyes. He couldn't help but hold the wine glass in his hand. He turned it a few times before he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou Mu is right. Now financial taxes are the top priority of Ganzhou. I also agree that the Lord will use taxes to make Ganzhou prosperous..."

Li Xukong didn't expect Ning Yue to make such a blunt statement. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and the smile on his face became more natural.

He looked at Ning Yue from across the table and said, "Master Bai is really wise and understands the righteousness. Please drink a drink together."

Ning Yue looked at Luo Yaoji pouring wine for the two of them, but raised his hand to stop Li Xukong and said softly: "Although I agree with some of the views of Lord Zhou Mu, I feel that just focusing on taxes will still have some disadvantages."

"Oh?" Li Xukong's expression stagnated and he said, "The chief manager doesn't know what to think, can you tell me?"

Ning Yue smiled and said, "Of course."

After saying that, Ning Yue gave Luo Yaoji a wink. Luo Yaoji took out a wooden box from the side of the desk, walked slowly to Li Xukong, placed the wooden box on the table, raised his hand to open it, and took out a stack of paper from it, which were covered with fine writing.

Li Xukong curiously picked up such a stack of papers to look at them. After just taking a few glances, his eyebrows couldn't help but condense.

Luo Yaoji's commentary sounded at the right time and said slowly: "This is a list prepared by my master. It sorted out how many fertile land there are in Ganzhou and how many wastelands that can be opened into fertile land in various places. At the same time, it also created a demographic statistics for farmers and civilians."

Li Xukong looked through the list in his hand carefully, and nodded while listening to Luo Yaoji's explanation. Finally, he couldn't help but look at Ning Yue and asked: "Master Bai can sort out these useful data. It can be seen that he is not an ordinary person. If you want to make Ganzhou prosperous, you must start from these basics. If you can add more Xia Kingdom immigration, you may be able to add more Ganzhou farming farmers..."

Ning Yue suddenly interrupted and smiled, "I'm a little off-the-scenes. I'm giving this list to the adults, just to ask the adults to take charge of this matter. There are too many wastelands suitable for farming in Ganzhou that can be reclaimed, so if all these wastelands can be used, a lot of taxes can be increased."
