Chapter five hundred and forty-eight taxes (3600 plus)

"puff!"

Jie Hui retreated back into the cavalry formation, unable to bear it anymore, and a mouthful of blood mist sprayed into the sky.

"How dare you? No...no...no fear..."

His eyes were like fire, but he still struggled to ask.

"Aren't you afraid of chaos in Shu?"

Fang Ming said: "Why tell you another thing. When the Ba Alliance and the Sichuan Gang attacked Duzun Castle, my Song family navy also entered Shu under the guidance of these two major forces and wiped out your Duzun Castle power!"

"You... are very good, Qinghui..."

The last light in Jie Hui's eyes dissipated and the body fell to the ground with a bang.

"Oh... I obviously reminded you thirty years ago..."

Fang Ming looked at Jie Hui's body, but couldn't help but sigh.

"Fort... Fortress Lord..."

The cavalry was in chaos, some fled, but more of them rushed up to avenge Jie Hui.

"Hey, shrimp soldiers and crab generals, fireflies, dare to compete with the bright moon?"

Fang Ming's face turned cold and murderous intent suddenly appeared!

...

Inside the Duzun Castle.

In the hall where the bloodstains were not dry, there were five people standing respectfully, Wang Fanzhuo, the Monkey King Fengzhen of the Ba League, Meijisna, the Big Old Kao Luo Feng, and Feng Jiang Mouxun were all among them.

"Your Majesty, the Duzun Castle has been broken, and the Jie family members were arrested except Jie Hui. There are Jie Long and Jie Bao... There are 987 people in total. How to deal with it?"

These are still core clan members. If you even count those outside the five squads, you will be at least a few thousand or even tens of thousands.

The Jie family is a small wealthy family, but because of the emergence of Jie Hui, it has expanded to this point, which makes Fang Ming feel quite sad.

"Xielong?"

Fang Ming smiled.

In the original work, this person should be Song Yuhua's husband and son-in-law, but in this life he has a strong control over Bashu and no longer has to sacrifice his daughter to engage in political marriages. Therefore, Jie Hui's son is just an ordinary person.

"Adult men are all demoted to hard labor! As for the female family members? I have some affection with Jie Hui at least, so I should support you..."

Of course, this is actually just a scene.

Fan Zhuo and others knew that King Zhennan was very dissatisfied with Jie Hui's betrayal. Since he had already killed Jie Hui with ruthlessness, the other men of the Jie family would definitely not let him go.

The so-called hard labor force, I don’t know how many people can survive after several years.

Moreover, a direct line like Jielong may die suddenly in just two days.

"Ahem..."

Fan Zhuo coughed a few more times unconsciously, and a hint of blue appeared on his face.

"Um?"

Fang Ming frowned, and Fan Zhuo automatically stepped out of the line and saluted: "When his subordinates were besieged Duzun Castle, they were assassinated by hidden demon sect masters. Fortunately, the soldiers were able to do so, and the people from the Ba Alliance were rescued... They were spared!"

Although he said it lightly, he knew the situation at that time was extremely dangerous.

"Thank you for your hard work, I will personally heal you later..."

Fang Ming was still kind to his subordinates: "I depend on you this time. Song can guarantee you that the conditions I promised before will remain the same... Gangmaster Fan just keeps his injuries. See Song drive the demons and monsters from the Demon Sect out of Bashu and avenge you!"

Since Zhu Yuyan and others dared to ambush him, after the situation is reversed by him, don’t blame him for cleaning up a group of Demon Sect masters and chasing him out of Bashu all the way.

...

The thirteenth year of Daye, winter.

Although Yang Guang was dead, there was no lord in the world, nor a unified year name, so he still recorded the great cause.

The Song family navy entered Shu and immediately occupied the land of Bashu, threatening Hanzhong. The Song family in Lingnan occupied Shu, Jingzhou, and Lingnan, which was even more powerful than the heyday of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and the world was shocked.

Since the matter in Shu was completed, Fang Ming didn't have much time to wait.

During this period, he brought the Sichuan Gang, Ba Meng and other younger brothers, as well as the generals and soldiers of the Song family to plow Shu again and smashed several demon gang dens. After finding that Zhu Yuyan and other demons had already fled, they also dispersed and began to stabilize local people's livelihood.

Although there is another Shi Qingxuan, who should also be in the quiet forest of Shu, Fang Ming had even heard of Bi Xiuxin's songs and was too lazy to see this niece again. After Shu stabilized, he would turn back to Xiangyang.

"Have you caught it?"

As soon as he saw Song Zhi, Fang Ming asked this question.

Although his hidden leaks were not a crime of war, some people must have leaked information inside, and this inner demon is the Xiang family.

"As soon as I received a letter from my elder brother Feige, I had already arranged a hand. The Xiang family was indeed secretly transferred and was caught by me. Xianggui, Xiangyushan and his son were arrested, and countless family property was collected... Unfortunately, some of them were in other places and it was difficult to recover..."

The Xiang family has many unrighteous actions, but the wealth accumulated is quite considerable. Even Song Zhi, the chief manager of the Song family, was moved.

"Very good. I have been dissatisfied with the father and son for a long time. It was just that they opened the door to offer the city last time and could not be moved lightly. But now that the stolen person is captured, I will be sentenced to the official punishment and executed by public trial!"

Fang Ming, who had known this father and son, would certainly not be polite, and directly sentenced the Xiang family's next fate: "The Xiang family members were executed, and the woman was demoted to the prostitutes! Haven't they always like to kidnap people? It's time to retaliate at this time!"

"What my elder brother said is very serious. The Xiang family has a lot of grievances. Killing it at this time will benefit the people's hearts!"

Song Zhi looked at it from another angle.

"And... how has Kou Zhong and the Young Marshal's Army developed?"

Fang Ming asked another question.

When talking about this, Song Zhi's expression was a little strange: "The information sent to Shu was also mentioned before, but it was not detailed. When I heard it at first, I felt very unbelievable. I didn't expect that Kou and Xu could really assassinate Lin Shihong. My elder brother knew the talent with keen eyes, and I admired it!"

"As soon as Lin Shihong died, the riot army would definitely be incompetent. Where is the teacher's way now?"

In the original work, every time Shuanglong fights to death, others will come to pick up the bargain.

Fang Ming used to be very unhappy, but now it's his turn, he feels quite good. After all, the young marshals are too far apart and have no strength or appetite to swallow Lin Shihong's legacy, but the Song family is different.

He was prepared and ordered the 50,000 troops of Song Shidao to be ready. Once he heard the news of Lin Shihong's death, he would immediately march the army to fight eastward. He had already captured Jiujiang County and Yuzhang County, and was besieging Poyang County.

"According to the latest military report, the Poyang garrison surrendered, the division road was very damaged, but it had already captured 30,000 Chu troops..."

All Song Zhi said is good news.

"After Kou Zhong assassinated Lin Shihong, I formed an alliance with him as my brother ordered to support the Young Marshal's Army. It was developing very fast at this time. Somehow, the Young Marshal's Army was helped by Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army and had a great momentum. It was rumored that Du Fuwei accepted Kou Zhong as his adopted son and intended to pass on his foundation... Now the Young Marshal's Army and the Jianghuai Army are fighting fiercely with Li Zitong and Shen Faxing's army. Kou Zhong has also shown amazing military talents and has a strong advantage!"

Speaking of this, Song Zhi's expression turned gloomy again.

After all, the Song family needs an ally, not an opponent.

The growth rate of the Young Marshal's Army was too terrifying and one day it would become the enemy of the Song family swept the south.

"I know what you mean by Zhidi, but now rather than worrying about Kou Zhong, an ally, you might as well worry about the Demon Sect!"

Fang Ming said: "In this battle between Bashu, the Yingui Sect has completely broken with us. You, Song Lu, and the defenses around the Taoist must be strengthened just in case!"

"This brother can pay attention!"

Song Zhi's face was flushed with excitement: "At this time, Bashu has been abandoned, we have accounted for one-third of the world. We will sweep the south in the future. There will be no problem. As long as we fight steadily, we will be 50% sure to win the whole world. Congratulations to brother, the Han Dynasty has risen..."

"I'm not as optimistic as you..."

Fang Ming sighed: "The reason why we can go to Jingzhou first and then go to Bashu is that we have accumulated over the past thirty years and are still unsustainable now... What's more, in my opinion, the real war has not begun yet!"

When Song Zhi heard this, his face became solemn, and he couldn't help but say solemnly: "Brother, do you mean?"

He couldn't help but point to the north.

"Not bad! I killed Jie Hui this time and broke with Cihang Jingzhai and other martial arts Bai Dao!"

Fang Ming's sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "And they will never revive the Han people. The subsequent suppression will inevitably come in a turbulent manner, and they even join forces with the Demon Sect!"

If we really talk about power, the Song family is not afraid of anyone now.

Even Li Yuan and Li Shimin, in Fang Ming's view, were just like killing a dog!

After all, he was shameless and had no scruples. He really wanted to be a assassin killer, even if Ning Daoqi protected himself every day, it would be useless!

Fang Ming has never regarded Li Shimin and his son as opponents.

His real goal is the Northern Hu people's alliance, even the Hu sect hidden behind it, and even the millions of believers in the world, and faith!

This is also the key to the competition for fortunes between the north and the south.

"Brother, what should we do now?" In terms of grand strategy, even Song Zhi had to admit that he was far away from Fang Ming.

"There is nothing to do in military affairs, just support Kou Zhong's struggle in Jiangnan!"

Fang Ming said: "Although we have a vast territory now, we still have a long way to go to really manage it and turn it into our own strength. Fortunately, in the past 30 years, many administrative officials have been trained, and now we will all send them to implement the new tax system and livelihood with the people!"

The execution of taxation has always been the foundation for a regime.

If you can't even collect taxes, it can almost be declared destruction.

At this time, the world was in chaos, with vast land and sparse populations, and the original policies naturally did not work. Fang Ming also imitated the Tang Dynasty's rent system and carried out a tax reform.

On the one hand, this is a manifestation of the authority of the regime, and on the other hand, it is through tax collection to let the people of Jingzhou and Shu know who is their real master!

The people are ignorant, but the objects of tax payment have changed, so naturally they know that it is a real change of dynasty.
Chapter completed!
