I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

When Luo Shixing heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't react for a while.

After a while he asked, "Why is it not so itchy now? Have Dusong Mangbuji's men scratched it?"

Wang An, who was forced to get up, said with a displeased face, "If I didn't get caught, I was beaten to death."

People are afraid of death to catch these people. When facing soldiers, they are still afraid of death, so they basically search around in groups, and when they find signs, they rush up to mess with sticks It is said that there were many misunderstandings in the middle, and some men and women who had an affair were also beaten to death.

Under such circumstances, almost none of the people sent in by Dusong Mangbuji survived.

Luo Shixing wiped his face. He opened his mouth for a moment and didn't know what to say. Finally, he could only say: "That... this is considered a meritorious service. According to the laws of the Great Zhou, this... how do you count it?"

Wang Antong: ...

You ask me, I don't know either!

Luo Shixing and Wang Antong looked at each other, and finally Luo Shixing had no choice but to say, "Wait... let's talk about it when Ah Wei comes."

He really didn't understand this. Luo Shixing never thought of letting civilians go to the battlefield. As long as the army is still there, it is impossible for civilians to sacrifice. If one day civilians are needed to go to the battlefield, it means that he and his army Cool, at that time, he doesn't need to think about anything else.

As a result, in terms of military merits, he knows how to improve the military system, but he does not know how to achieve civilian merits, especially such large-scale civilian merits.

Although they said they had to wait for Cheng Jingwei to come over, even if Cheng Jingwei came, the two of them would have to kill Dusongmangbuji if they wanted to meet up. Would it dampen the enthusiasm of the common people if it took so long?

After Luo Shixing thought carefully for a while, he turned around and called Zan Xiela and the others over.

When Zan Xie pulled them over, they were all a little uneasy. After these days, they had come to a conclusion. If the Duke of Yue called them over alone, it would not be a big deal, but if They all yelled over collectively, so everyone had better tighten up their skin and pay attention to what they said when the time came, or they might get cold if they were not careful.

After they all arrived, Luo Shixing asked, "What's the current tax situation?"

After hearing this, Zan Xiela immediately shouted in his heart: Here he comes, here he comes!

They have always been worried that Luo Shixing will start to deal with the taxation. They have heard a little about the taxation in Pibo City. Anyway, if the rumors are correct, according to the tax system in Pibo City, their income will drop a lot.

However, when Luo Shixing asked, they had to answer, and Zan Xiela explained all the current tax situation.

When Luo Shixing was in Pibo City before, he didn't know the tax system of Tubo at all. Anyway, it will be changed anyway. Is the previous system important?it is not important.

This is the first time he has come into contact with the tax system of Tubo. Because the scope of tax coverage is too wide, it will not be clear for a while, so Zan Xiela mainly picks agricultural tax and commercial tax.

After hearing this, Luo Shixing said with emotion: "You Tubo people are so honest. If this tax rate is placed in the Central Plains, the people below will rebel long ago."

This is not skinning, but bone-sucking!

The most important thing is that Tibetan slave owners do not have to pay taxes. Although Dazhou also has a tax exemption policy, it is aimed at officials.

On the Tubo side, Luo Shixing calculated that basically only civilians need to pay taxes, and rich people are slave owners, and they don't need to pay taxes.

Luo Shixing thought about it, and felt that the slave owner could not be moved at this time, so he simply said, "Let's adjust the tax rate, and besides the tax stipulated above, I will remove all other exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes."

Luo Shixing pushed a document directly over it. This document was written in Chinese characters, but the top officials in Tubo all studied Sinology, so they were not worried that they would not be able to understand it.

Zan Xiela and the others carefully took the documents over and took a look. They were all high-ranking officials in Tubo, so they understood these things.

After reading it, everyone couldn't help but blacken their eyes. Luo Shixing's actions, without doing anything else, directly reduced their annual income by half.

The agricultural tax rate and commercial tax rate are actually acceptable to everyone. The place where they make money is not here, but in the so-called exorbitant taxes.

If all these things are cut off, how will they live?

Several people opened their mouths to say something, but I don't know if it was their illusion. They always felt that they could faintly see blood on the ground.

In fact, the blood on the ground had been cleaned up long ago, and incense was lit to cover up the smell of blood. There was no way, because there were not many windows in the Tubo palace, and the ventilation was not good, so this method could only be used to cover it up.

Between income coolness and their own coolness, everyone chose silence.

Perhaps the reduction in income is only temporary, they can always find new ways, and even Duke Yue can't make them live, can they?

But if people are gone, then there is nothing.

In fact, Luo Shixing was already prepared to bargain with these people, so from the very beginning, he opened his mouth like a lion, and directly crossed out all the messy taxes, and prepared to release one or two when these people objected. It is easier to satisfy them by leaving room for the other party from the beginning.

It's just that these people never expected that these people would accept what was written on the document in such a silent manner, and they didn't even dare to say a word of controversy.

Zan Xiela even patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will do it immediately when we get back."

Zan Xiela's heart was bleeding when he said these words, but he had no choice but to bow his head under the eaves.

Luo Shixing looked at these people who were like quails, and didn't dare to say a word. He couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional for a moment. He knew the effect was so good, and he started killing when he first came in.

In fact, it might not have such a good effect if he started killing people when he first came, because these people would resist.

After all, if you kill them immediately, no one knows why they will be killed, but Luo Shixing's soft policy at the beginning made these people realize that as long as they are obedient, they can survive, and Duke Yue will not really send people to At the end of the road, the most is to cut the flesh, although it hurts, but it can survive.

This is the truth of what these people are listening to now.

The efficiency of Zan Xie pull is really good. It only took half a day, and the news of the tax cut has spread throughout the entire Luoxie city, and it has also been explained that this is a reward for everyone who defended the city last night.

All the people in Tubo were happy for a while. At first they didn't think there would be rewards. In the past, when Tubo fought wars, they didn't say that they would give any rewards when they recruited civilians.

In such a comparison, everyone felt that Da Zhou, a young official, seemed to be better than Zanpu, at least the benefits he gave everyone could be seen.

Even civilians will be rewarded for meritorious service, so is the reward for meritorious service in the army even greater?

Not to mention, someone really came to ask about it. Luo Shixing's army was used to being kind to civilians. This is the tradition of flower growers. This kind of tradition is a bit out of place here, but in Lingnan, I didn't know the situation of Da Zhou at first. It's okay to accept it.

Now when they face the common people in Tubo, they all answer in good spirits what they can say. As for what they can’t say, they will tell them that there is a code of confidentiality and they can’t say it casually.

However, these are enough. Luo Shixing's rewards to soldiers are top-notch, and they belong to the kind that would cause protests from other generals if they are higher. If the rewards cannot be increased, Luo Shixing will start with logistics support. Anyway, those who follow him will definitely not suffer. .

If you are injured, you don’t need to pay for the treatment. If you are disabled, you will be assigned to work for the rest of your life. If you sacrifice, you will receive a large pension and benefit your children. Anyway, all kinds of guarantees are there.

As a result, many Tubo civilians were shocked when they heard this. They had never heard of such good treatment, so many people began to ask whether Dazhou wanted to recruit soldiers.

At the beginning, there were relatively few people who asked, and everyone didn't care. When more people asked, even after the civilians found that the soldiers of Dazhou were very gentle, they went to their barracks to ask.

Wang Antong was at a loss when he got the news: "What's going on?"

Yes, what's the situation?Luo Shixing was also a little confused.

At this time, Zan Xiela also ran over and asked, "Your Highness, are you still recruiting officers in your team?"

A question mark slowly appeared on Luo Shixing's head: "Why are you asking this?"

Zan Xiela rubbed his hands and smiled, "I have two sons who are very brave, and I want them to work under His Royal Highness."

Luo Shixing's first reaction when he heard his words was that Zan Xiela came here to surrender.

But that's not right, if he had surrendered, he should have sent the child over on the first day instead of asking about it today.

Luo Shixing got up and walked in front of him, stretched out his arms and patted his shoulder and asked, "Tell the truth."

Zan Xiela trembled, and said honestly: "I think they have a better future with His Highness."

Because Zan Xiela is working on tax policies recently, he is very concerned about the movements of the common people, and naturally he has heard the news.

His level is relatively high, and he can ask the officer directly.

The Lingnan Army treats ordinary soldiers well, and officers are treated even better. When they reach a certain position, the real three generations don't have to worry about it.

That was something that moved even Zan Xiela's heart.

Although his family is big, there is only one heir. He has so many sons, what will happen to those less outstanding sons in the future?In particular, several of them love martial arts but not literature, and some are even not very smart.

Sending them to the army Zan Xiela never thought about it, their family has an army under their own hands, why send them to other places.

So in the future, his two sons will most likely be working in their own team to make a living. Don't think about being rich and honored. It would be nice to live a safe life.

Now that there is a better choice, Zan Xiela is very excited.

Luo Shixing was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, why even he came to join in the fun.

He had no choice but to say: "My army belongs to Lingnan, and you should have paid attention there. The situation in Lingnan is special, and it is different from the imperial army, so they may not be able to get the same treatment as my officers when they go to Dazhou. Understand?"

Zan Xiela said decisively: "I just want them to follow His Highness. If it's not possible, they can be guards."

Luo Shixing is the Duke of the state, and this title is already a first-rank existence in Datang, and his status as a guard is not low.

Wang Antong on the side suddenly felt the crisis, and said vigilantly: "Not everyone can be the guardian of the envoy."

Zan Xiela ignored him, but looked at Luo Shixing pitifully and said, "To be honest, my two sons are not very smart, and I was worried about them."

A fatherly heart.

Luo Shixing thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, it happens that many civilians want to join the army recently. You should be responsible for this matter."

He will not accept civilians to go to the battlefield, but he is still happy to see the civilians willing to join the army, and it is not impossible for these Tibetans to follow him.

Zan Xiela hesitated, but finally nodded under Wang Antong's warning eyes: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this matter will be done safely."

Wang Antong snorted at the side, and praised Xiela tactfully and didn't bother with him, turned around and left.

After he left, Luo Shixing took a funny look at Wang Antong: "What are you fussing about with him? It's impossible for him to follow us back to Lingnan. As for his son...it depends."

Originally, Luo Shixing didn't have any hope for Zan Xiela's son, after all, the young man who was in love before was also his son.

Just as the recruiting work in Luoxie city was in full swing, the patrolling soldier on the city wall hurried over and knelt on one knee and said, "Report to the envoy, General Cheng threw his troops to Luoxie!"
