Jiangfu
Jiang Changan is helping Jiang Cailian pack clothes
The housekeeper suddenly walked in in a hurry and whispered in Jiang Changan's ear.
When Jiang Changan heard this, he straightened up and smiled calmly.
"It doesn't matter, let him see it, let him see it," Jiang Changan said calmly, "So what if he sees it through? In the hands of my Jiang family, the tax revenue of these three states in the south of the Yangtze River has increased several times."
"What's more, there are no hungry people for thousands of miles, and fertile farmland for thousands of miles. Can they achieve this level without my Jiang family?"
"Besides, my Jiang family has never had any objection, and I, Jiang Changan, have never held a private soldier in these three states."
"What can he find out?"
The housekeeper said worriedly, "Master, this person is not someone else. Any clues may leak our details."
"So what if it's leaked? I'll let them see. It's the three states in Jiangnan that cannot live without me. It's not that I can't live without the three states in Jiangnan."
"By the way, give the order to the fleet not to dock at the port for the time being, and wait for my signal then."
The butler took the order and left
Jiang Cailian raised her head and looked at Jiang Changan worriedly, "Grandpa, is someone trying to do something bad to you?"
Jiang Changan laughed loudly, "Don't worry Cai Lian, it's not that anyone is against me, but that I don't want you to be wronged. Our Jiang family is quite powerful, so the emperor of Luo Jing is a little wary."
"You are going to Luo Jing to study. Grandpa is afraid that you will be wronged there, so he wants Luo Jing to see that no one can bully the Jiang family."
Jiang Cailian nodded in confusion, but the sincerity of the old man in front of her could be felt clearly. The little girl was already sensitive, so she could naturally feel such unmotivated feelings clearly.
...
After finding a random wine shop, Ye Wuyou took Ye Xueyan and sat down. The two of them just sat down. Then an enthusiastic boy came to greet him.
"Master Ye, are you here? This is the menu of the shop. If you want to try it, you can taste it freely. If there are unfamiliar dishes, you can also let me introduce you."
"Do you know me?" Ye Wuyou asked doubtfully
"Hey, how can a little person like me dare to say that I know Mr. Ye? It's just that the Jiang family had spread the portrait of Mr. Ye all over the city and informed all the shops that as long as Mr. Ye comes to the store, all expenses will be free of charge, and they also want us to entertain him well. . Even for this reason, each store has set aside three thousand taels of money to entertain Mr. Ye."
"It's the adults who have great face," the boy complimented.
Ye Xueyan's eyes couldn't help but twitch, and she exclaimed in her heart, "What a big deal... Are all the shops in the city like this?"
"How much does it cost?"
Ye Wuyou looked calm and said calmly, "Then bring all your specialty dishes and wines."
Looking at Ye Xueyan's mouth, Ye Wuyou signaled that she didn't need to say anything.
In just half a quarter of an hour, all the dishes were served
After tasting it, Ye Wuyou couldn't help but nodded, "Try it, the store's craftsmanship is good, and they really put their heart into it."
The boy stood beside him smiling. Serve at any time, and don’t say a word when you hear the words
Ye Xueyan was a little distracted as she tasted the food. She seemed to be out of sorts.
Ye Wuyou knew what this little girl was worried about. With this attitude of the Jiang family, it was obvious that they were not afraid of their own group at all.
He even deliberately put on this kind of posture to make them retreat in the face of difficulties.
But Ye Wuyou doesn’t believe this evil
He doesn't believe that the Jiang family is so devoid of desires and needs. Is it true that everyone in the world is a fool?
They ask for nothing now, but that is what they ask for...
After eating, the two left in style. Now in Jingzhou, Ye Wuyou estimated that only the State Mufu and the post house where he stayed did not have the influence of the Jiang family.
These two places were set up by Dazhou himself, and the Jiang family was very sensible and did not extend a hand here.
Instead, he extended all his hands to the three states in Jiangnan.
This is no longer a problem... Ye Wuyou murmured in his heart, the three huge Jiangnan states were simply the Jiang family's back garden at this time, but he and others became tourists in the back garden?
Now Ye Wuyou somewhat understands the mentality of the Sanzhou State Shepherd. In the current situation, neither of them is of use. Unless the Jiang family leaves on their own, the three states will always be named Jiang.
But I really don’t believe that you can be monolithic...
I brought some appetizing snacks to the two friends in the post house. As soon as Ye Wuyou and the two arrived, the post manager greeted them.
"Master Ye, we have a visitor."
Ye Wuyou's heart moved slightly, "Isn't someone here just now?"
"Lead the way"
Let Ye Xueyan go back to the room by herself, and she followed Yi Cheng into the back hall.
I saw a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing, but he was dressed in plain linen clothes.
"Hey, this Jiang family is amazing," Ye Wuyou sighed, "If you can force a state shepherd like you to disguise yourself, you will suffer a lot here."
Jingzhou Prefect Liu Jin sighed and shook his head
"Actually, I haven't suffered any punishment. I'm even more comfortable doing it than other officials. When Luo Jing comes with an order, I just need to issue it, and someone will prepare it and put it in front of me."
"No matter what we do, we will do it properly. We need people, money, and food."
"It can be said that if he was just a mouthpiece, the Jingzhou Prefect would be more comfortable than the Emperor."
"Then why are you so embarrassed?" Ye Wuyou wondered
"Because I can't help myself," Liu Jin smiled bitterly, "Can you accept that all your political achievements in Jingzhou were packaged and delivered to your door by others? Usually, I am still curious about why the officials in Jingzhou are doing nothing."
“I didn’t know until I took this position because I had nothing to do.”
“There are people who have done better and done more than them.”
"It can be said that the people in Jingzhou only recognize Jiang from the Jiang family."
Ye Wuyou asked curiously, "What did the Jiang family do? Make these three states become like their back garden? Even the entire Jingzhou became their shop."
"Spread money," Liu Jin said solemnly, "Do you know how much money the Jiang family throws away every year?"
"Nearly ten million yuan, ten million taels of silver, this is a year's expenditure."
"Lending to the common people, interest-free. Supporting merchants, rent-free. The Jiang family only needs one thing, which is to participate in shares. Even a grain of grain grown by the common people will be half of the Jiang family's."
"In these years, I don't know about the other two prefectures, but it's just Jingzhou. All taxes are borne by the Jiang family."
"I can't collect a penny from the taxes in the hands of the common people. All the tax officials have tax money placed at their door without even leaving their homes."
"The money is getting more and more every year, and the people are getting richer and richer every year... and the officialdom in Jingzhou... is also getting calmer and quieter every year."
"In the entire Jingzhou, I am the only one who thinks that the Jiang family's plans are shocking. The rest of the people have just let it go, because there is no need for corruption, there are political achievements, and there is endless tax money."
"My government has decreed that each state should withhold 30% of its tax revenue and reserve it for operational purposes. This 30% will keep the entire Jingzhou officialdom well fed."
"The tax money that was originally used to repair water conservancy, build bridges, and pave roads does not need to be spent at this time, because the Jiang family has already done all this."
After hearing this, Ye Wuyou couldn't help but his eyes were shocked.
It’s not unreasonable for the Jiang family to be so confident. Even Ye Wuyou felt that the Jiang family was a bit low-key.
