The Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms slowly moved toward Yunzhou City.
To pursue Prince Wanli, the coalition forces should have marched quickly.
However, the 'Fan' flag flying high at the top of Yunzhou City is like a signal to slow down.
As a result, after the war, the coalition forces reorganized their military appearance, arranged their military formations, and slowly moved closer to the city wall.
"Everyone!"
"Goodbye Yunmeng Mountain, it's been a long time!"
Fan Li did not hide anything, and openly greeted the people below on the top of the city.
Among the coalition forces, many generals were obviously restless.
Perhaps in their eyes, they really couldn't accept that they had worked so hard for two games, only to be plucked by the Chu State.
However, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, and Zhou Yu were all calm and smiling.
The three of them raised their hands together and said, "Mr. Jin's style remains the same. Liang Jia Yu is very pleased to see you again after a long absence!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Up and down the city, four people laughed together.
Holy Lord Hanyue on the city wall couldn't understand this laughter, and neither did the generals under the city wall.
A dark warrior with a leopard head and ringed eyes asked: "Why are the military advisors laughing? The army fought hard, but they did not capture Yunzhou City. I am so angry!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, still smiling, but with a hint of helplessness in his laughter.
"Second General, don't worry, the military advisor will definitely have something to think about." A handsome general in white clothes and silver armor whispered comfortingly beside him.
The black general had no choice but to hold his temper.
The same discussion happened around Zhou Yu and Guo Jia.
Fan Li stopped laughing, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Wanli was rescued by Hu Zongxian. Hu Zongxian is at the eighth level of the Taoist realm and is half a step into the Great Perfection. I can't stop him. Is it reasonable?"
"Reasonable."
"It makes sense."
"That's how it should be."
Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, and Zhou Yu spoke in unison.
What a tacit understanding!
There is such a tacit understanding!
Hanyue couldn't understand, but felt that the four men seemed to be talking in code, as if there was some kind of shady transaction being completed through code.
There was another moment of silence.
"Four families jointly manage it?" Zhou Yu suddenly said.
Fan Li shook his head: "Three families are enough."
When the three heard this, they were first surprised and then happy.
Unexpectedly, Chu State was willing to completely withdraw from Yunzhou City.
This is not only the gain and loss of a city and a place, but also has a strong symbolic meaning.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu were one step ahead of Daci and Dachu, and achieved great results in opening up and expanding territory in the action of conquering the Ming Dynasty!
The three of them stopped talking and waited for Fan Li to speak.
If he takes the initiative to give up the city, there must be conditions!
"Trade, tax-free." Fan Li only said four words.
The three of them were stunned at the same time.
The Chu State was dominated by the Fan family, who also became rich because of Fan's business.
Fan's Trading Company is spread all over the world, and the commercial taxes levied by various countries due to Fan's Trading Company are a large amount every year.
duty free?
This is not a huge price that can be paid in one lump sum and all three countries can bear it.
But when a dull knife cuts flesh, it hurts more and more.
From now on, Fan's Trading Company will not pay taxes every year.
Over time, it was a huge loss to the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu.
"Jin Gong plotted the abyss..." Guo Jia said softly.
"If you agree, it's like drinking poison to quench your thirst." Zhou Yu's face didn't look good either.
The old Han Dynasty fell apart and the Three Kingdoms stood up.
However, the foundations of the three companies are very weak. After losing important commercial and tax revenues, the growth of national strength has become increasingly slow.
Both of them turned their attention to Zhuge Liang.
As brothers from the same Guigu sect, Guo Jia and Zhou Yu knew that Zhuge Liang was an expert in internal affairs and financial management.
Let's see if he has any good ideas? !
"Okay." Zhuge Liang thought for a long time and finally said: "But, what about the number of years?"
Guo Jia and Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, secretly praising their cleverness!
This seemingly ordinary question imposes a condition on the tax exemption issue: time.
It is not a permanent tax exemption, but a tax exemption for a limited period of time.
Zhuge Liang used this ordinary tone, but expressed the toughest attitude and was striving for the most critical benefits!
Tax exemption is available.
But it cannot be tax-free permanently, it can only be tax-free within a time limit!
We are all gentlemen and friends. Who wants to quarrel?
"Smart man." Fan Li said three words lightly, and only Han Yue could hear them.
Zhuge Liang's proposal was also the bottom line for Fan Li to give in.
Tax exemption is the only condition for the Chu army to give up Yunzhou City.
Free forever is obviously an empty promise.
The specific number of tax-free years requires careful calculation.
Fortunately, Fan Li had already made plans.
"Five years."
"I only need a five-year tax holiday."
"Within five years, all business transactions between Dachu and Wei, Han and Wu must be tax-free!"
This time, it was Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Guo Jia's turn to be surprised.
Just because the conditions offered by Fan Li were too tempting.
In the world of practitioners, five years really flies by in a blink of an eye.
With five years of tax exemption, the three of them do not have to return to their respective countries to ask for instructions from their respective majesties. They can agree to Fan Li now!
"good!"
"Great Wei is willing to make a treaty with Great Chu!"
"The great Han is willing to make a treaty with the great Chu!"
"Da Wu is also willing to make a treaty with Da Chu!"
…
…………
Fan Li left with one hundred thousand Chu troops.
In Yunzhou City, the dragon flags of Wei, Han and Wu were strangely erected at the same time.
Han Yue still walked with Fan Li.
He was going back to Pengcheng, and she was also going back to Pengcheng Palace. It was such a coincidence.
"Fan Li."
"Um?"
"They say you have a good relationship with the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms. It seems to be true. The tax holiday has only been five years, and even I think...why are you laughing?"
Fan Li suppressed his smile and secretly cursed himself for being rude.
He answered Han Yue's question: "In the whole world, since ancient times, has any minister made friends with the emperor?"
Han Yue was stunned when she heard this.
Fan Li added: "There is only a five-year tax holiday, because the limit of Ming Dynasty's patience is only about five years. If Emperor Jiajing has not sent troops to retake Yunzhou City after five years, he really thinks he is the best in the world."
Han Yue was stunned.
So, from the beginning, Fan Li didn't think that the Ming Dynasty had really lost Yunzhou?
"Is it crazy for a weak country to occupy the land of a strong country?"
"If Jiajing doesn't show off his power, do you really think he is a sick cat?"
"But..." Han Yue couldn't help but said: "Zhuge Liang and the others are also famous smart people. You can see through this, why can't they?"
Fan Li smiled smartly: "Because they are important ministers of the emperor, and I am a powerful official. When they act, they must consider the needs of the emperor and the face of the dynasty. But for me, just being pragmatic is enough."
Hanyue looked slightly embarrassed.
After all, she is still Xiang Chong's adoptive mother.
Fan Li didn't take Xiang Chong seriously in front of her, which really made Han Yue feel a little guilty of being "incompetent".
"for example."
"The cosmetics that I, Fan's Trading Company, are launching will soon be sold well in all the countries in the alliance."
"The first batch of overseas franchise stores were first opened in the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu."
"By then, trade volume will surge, and I will have tax-free privileges. Isn't this a good time to make a fortune?"
"How can the emperors of the Three Kingdoms not be jealous if I get rich?"
"The five-year tax holiday is neither long nor short, and the three countries can barely tolerate it. If I propose a tax holiday of twenty to thirty years, even if Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan can tolerate it, they will definitely hate me for plotting against them."
Having said this, Fan Li smiled mischievously.
"Five years, how good it is."
"Let them watch me make money and believe that when five years are up, they can get a piece of my big pot."
"I made money and created a bright future for them. This is called business..."
Han Yue couldn't help but said: "What about five years from now?"
Five years later?
Let's see if the Three Kingdoms can stop the Ming Dynasty...
