The elders of the Yuan family have nothing to do with the bouncing Stina. The so-called giving face to the powerful world-breaker is not a joke, but the real deal. The elders of the Yuan family have no idea what Stina wants to do. Way to stop it.
However, after accepting the fact that this person is a powerful person who breaks boundaries, the elder of the Yuan family can still find a reason even if he clutches his heart and feels that the other person is a little out of touch.
After all, according to ancient books, those who can fly to the sky and escape from the earth can already be classified as goddesses. It is completely reasonable to be free from the constraints of the mortal world.
"Happy." Stina was lying on the bed, eating pudding very happily.
Delicious food can indeed greatly improve personal happiness. At least the Pope really felt very happy eating these delicacies.
"This is the secret mirror that I asked someone to make for you. These are all types of snacks and cuisines here in Runan. See what you like." Wen Shi threw the prepared secret mirror to Stina and said , "This time I basically have pictures, and the next batch of mystical mirrors should still be in production."
After all, Runan is currently the second most populous county in the Central Plains. Although Nanyang is constantly recovering, it is still far away from its peak of 2.2 million. Therefore, Runan currently has 170 people. With a population of 10,000, it remains the second largest county.
Naturally, the various types of dishes are very complete, and Wen also asked people to prepare the recording of dishes and snacks in advance in order to prevent Stina from going out to cause trouble, but they have not been completed yet.
Stina stretched out her hand a little and looked at the dishes inside, her eyes shining brightly. Stina had never seen so many dishes even in Sizhao City, let alone in Great Britain.
"Sister, you seem a little worried." After Stina selected a bunch of dishes and staple food, she raised her head and handed the secret mirror to Wenshi, and found that Wenshi's expression was a little melancholy.
"The population in Runan has become much sparse." Wen said with a sigh.
Stina slowly tilted her head and looked at Wen, "Sister, can you say it again?"
"The population in Runan has become much sparse." Wen said looking at Stina in confusion.
"Is this still sparse? From my observation, this city alone has about three to four hundred thousand people." Stina looked at Wen in confusion and said.
Wen nodded, "This city is the foundation of the Yuan family in Runan, which is also the foundation of our family. As far as I know, the entire Runan has a population of two million, but now I feel that this number is too false."
"Xu?" Stina looked at Wen in confusion.
"I feel that the population of Runan may be over one million. It is not as large as rumored, and there are not many young people." Wen said with a sigh, "And now Chen Zichuan is taking the land route to come to Runan. I Wondering how to explain this? Or, I don’t know how to explain it, because I don’t know what this is.”
Chen Xi, who had already left Jingzhou and rushed to Yuzhou, lay on the carriage and looked at the situation in the ancient city. He roughly guessed how the Yuan family in Runan managed to maintain the population of Runan.
"The Yuan family of Runan is really good at it." Chen Xi sat on the carriage and looked at the people passing by in the ancient city. He couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the family that was the first to take that step and win people's hearts. Their approach is indeed a bit wrong. Unexpected."
"I heard from people that Zichuan told them what the Yuan family did." Liu Bei sat aside and said with a smile.
The Yuan family is very tight-lipped, but there is no such thing as airtight in this world. Obtaining Liu Luo's wife's documents, plus a small piece of fiefdom in the Yuan family's territory, has actually revealed something. The exchanges in Hanzhong that year, even if it is Even in the secrets, there are things that can be dug out.
After all, certain actions of the Yuan family have become established facts, and there are countless possibilities in the future, but history has only one reality, so it is not impossible to guess.
But if you really want to talk about this matter, it actually has nothing to do with Chen Xi, because although Chen Xi originally wanted to deal with the conflicts between the IOU documents between the major aristocratic families and the local people, he basically had no good entry point.
Unless Chen Xi was ruthless and dealt with this matter directly, but that would be more than worth the gain, so Chen Xi just observed silently.
In fact, it was an accident for the Yuan family to meet Liu Luo in Hanzhong. What Liu Luo said was indeed just a greeting. However, the situation of the Yuan family at that time was a bit complicated, so she had to think about it.
As a result, after talking to each other, the Yuan family directly understood the new route and chose to burn the land deed documents and IOUs, which gave Chen Xi a very good entry point.
Afterwards, it actually didn't matter whether Chen Xi admitted it or not, because Chen Xi couldn't say anything. Liu Luo had nothing to do with him, not to mention that this matter was beneficial to the Han Dynasty, so Chen Xi kept silent about it. But a default attitude.
Up to now, basically all major aristocratic families have acquiesced that this matter was a hint given by Chen Xi to the Yuan family. A hint is a hint. To do this to this extent is the skill of the Yuan family.
Liu Bei naturally had the same idea. It was clearly your suggestion to the Yuan family, Chen Xi.
"That's right, but I was the one who suggested it, and it was the Yuan family who made the decision. The first step is always the most difficult. Without the Yuan family's step, even Chen Xun would not be the first." Chen Xi shook his head. Said, after all, the Yuan family is a very special existence among all the aristocratic families.
The Chen family and the Xun family should at least think about what other people will think if they do this. The Yuan family does not need to think about this kind of problem at all. As the leader of the aristocratic family, I, the Yuan family, have done this. That will be a benchmark. I will consider your opinions. ? What are you looking at? Is it possible that you want to teach me how to do things in the Yuan family?
"Yeah, this kind of decision alone is thrilling enough. Fortunately, in the end, almost all the large aristocratic families did it." Liu Bei said with a smile. This is one of the few things that made Liu Bei have different opinions on each. It’s something that big families generally have a favorable impression of.
This is also the reason why Liu Bei thinks that the major aristocratic families are okay, at least they have no problems in matters of right and wrong, and they are indeed working. As for the dirty side, they can still get by.
"Tsk." Chen Xi glanced at Liu Bei, okay, I won't tell you the reason. It's better for you to continue to have expectations for these people.
"You have the wrong attitude." Liu Bei scolded with a smile.
"Forget it, let's go to Runan City for a walk, and then let's go back to Chang'an. I have roughly understood the situation here. Yuan's approach is okay. After all, he was willing to follow Yuan to leave the Central Plains. It's not too much. ." Chen Xi almost knew what was going on when he looked at the people coming and going.
On another carriage, Wu Yuan was explaining to Liu Tong what the Yuan family had done.
"It is basically certain that there is a serious problem with the 1.7 million population reported by Runan County." Wu Yuan used her spiritual talent to observe the traces of the past.
"What's wrong?" Liu Tong also looked out of the window.
"It's nothing, I just never thought it could be like this. According to my current estimate, the population of Runan County is probably around one million." Wu Yuan sighed and said.
"Ah? Isn't that right? Although I don't read the year-end statements very much, in a large county like Runan, I will double the tax revenue and population at the end of the year." Liu Tong looked at it with an expression of disbelief. said Wu Yuan.
"Yes, I also read the year-end report last year. I looked at Gyeonggi, Weijun, Taishan, Runan, Nanjun, and Nanyang." Si Niang also said.
These places are all very important county-level administrative units in the Central Plains, and their actual status is approximately equivalent to the state level. They either have large populations or have developed economies. At the end of the year, they will double at least, and last year's group The old man was in a bad mood and kept a close eye on him. In order to pretend that they were studying, Liu Tong and Si Niang also looked at him.
"In my impression, the tax paid by Runan is comparable to the population of 1.7 million." Liu Tong recalled it, and it seemed that there was no problem.
"Of course we can match it." Wu Yuan rolled her eyes and said, "Old Yuan's family doesn't care about money. Others are living on empty wages. Old Yuan's family pays excessive taxes and fabricates population tax. With a population of just over one million, I'll give it to you. Is it difficult to pay taxes for a population of 1.7 million people?”
Liu Tong was really stunned at this moment and opened his mouth involuntarily. How could this be done?
"What I've seen before is just empty wages, but this time it's an eye-opener. The Yuan family actually paid an excess tax. If you don't come here, it's impossible to know that the person has been taken away." Wu Yuan also looked like she had seen a ghost.
"What about the snacks I gave out?" Liu Tong asked with a dark face.
"Of course, after the Yuan family took over Chang'an, they transported it to Sizhao City and distributed it to the corresponding personnel." Wu Yuan said matter-of-factly.
"Can snacks be kept for such a long time?" Liu Tong was even more angry. You old Yuan family are a bunch of scum, taking my mother's welfare for your own use.
"Of course you can. You can send one now and go all the way to Yuan's house in the ice and snow. Don't say you are a pastry, you can also be an ice cream." Wu Yuan smiled and the corners of her eyes were a little crinkled.
"Damn it!" Liu Tong felt unhappy about the money that had evaporated for no apparent reason.
"What's there to be angry about? It's not you who pays for it anyway. It's Chen Zichuan who gives out the snacks. And I've heard people say before that some people pay twice more for the sake of getting two more snacks at the end of the year. What do you think of Chen Zichuan? Don't you know this kind of thing?" Wu Yuan leaned on the soft cushion and said with a smile.
Earlier, there were people who were trying to trick me into paying a deposit for my unborn grandson, and then receive an extra snack at the end of the year. Later, people discovered that the officials had no intention of carefully verifying people's overreported number of children. In fact, this is mainly because after the distribution in the past two years, local officials have already understood the population of each family.
Starting from the year before last, Chen Xi discovered that after technological improvements, the dim sum manufacturing scale exceeded 400W, and the unit price could drop below par. So Chen Xi really treated this as a business, and people still paid half a year in advance...
