Things came too suddenly, and suddenly a Roman Empire appeared, which messed up Zhang Yu's many plans.

The Roman Empire is extremely powerful, and it may really match up in the future.

Knowing that there is such an existence, Zhang Yu felt that the process of unifying China must be accelerated.

Zhang Yu asked Xi Zhi to recruit soldiers and horses.

"Recruit more than 100,000, and let them stay in Xinbeiping." Zhang Yu said.

After training 100,000 more soldiers and horses and stationing in New Peiping, Zhang Yu got 100,000 more mobile soldiers and horses.

One hundred thousand more soldiers and horses means that one hundred thousand more soldiers and horses will be consumed.

However, the situation has changed and must be adjusted.

"I have a suggestion. I will discuss it with you first, and discuss it with others when I return to Jiangdong." Zhang Yu solemnly said.

It requires extensive consultation, and that must be a more important decision.

Gu Yong and Xi Zhi couldn't help adjusting their sitting posture.

"I plan to increase taxes. Now our tax rate is not very low or the highest. A tax increase will definitely have a certain impact, but nowadays, the fiscal deficit is very large. If I want to develop quickly, I have no money to school.

Rome put a lot of pressure on Zhang Yu, and both sides struggled to develop. Whoever develops fast, who occupies a large territory, and who has a large population in the future are all advantages.

However, Zhang Yu now has too many ties, and he can't do it like Rome, it is already a unified and powerful empire.

Both Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong knew why Zhang Yu was so prudent, and tax increases were indeed a big deal.

Now Zhang Yu's tax rate is set at 20%. The 20% tax is not low, but because there is no exploitation by the landlord, the people can get tangible results of 80%.

Many places may only collect 15% of the tax, but it is less than 50% in the hands of the farmers. This is the gap.

"Lord, the tax increase will not add any difficulties to our governance. The people's life will be good. They will not rise up against the lord because of the increase in taxes. Just how much tax rate does the lord plan to increase?" Gu Yong assessed. Fan Road.

"Up to 10%, and tax can be reduced appropriately when necessary." Zhang Yu said.

A tax of 10% becomes a tax of 30%. The tax is much heavier, but the people can still get 70% of the harvest.

"My lord, a 10% increase in tax is reasonable, at least much lower than in many places. I don’t know how many taxes have been added in the Han Dynasty. I have to collect taxes several times a year, and the people have to bear it. But it is I next suggest that the lord, if there is a disaster, or where it is damaged, you can reduce taxes." Xi Zhicai said.

Zhang Yu had some new ideas.

After a little improvement in my mind, he said: "I want to levy a tax rate of 30% in different regions, rich places, and 25% in border areas, or places with barren land."

"It's so good and fair." Gu Yong said.

"Well, I will go back to Jiangdong as soon as possible to improve the new tax law. You will investigate the various regions here. If it is implemented, the most reasonable government order can be formulated." Zhang Yu said.

Youzhou's army expansion, Jiangdong might also need to expand its army. At that time, a lot of money will be needed and there will be no tax increase. Apart from borrowing money, Zhang Yu can't think of any other way.

If you borrow money, you have to pay it back and you also need to pay interest.

However, Zhang Yu's expenditures are not rewarded, a large amount of investment in the military can only be consumed.

If you borrow money to invest, you can get it back later and pay it back at that time.

However, Qian Zhangyu also had arrangements for the follow-up, and it was also difficult to do after borrowing it.

Therefore, tax collection is a matter of once and for all, and there is no need to pay it back.

The specific matters are left to Gu Yong and Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai started busy recruiting soldiers and horses for the second time.

An army must be re-established and stationed in New Peiping.

And the second chapter Yu continued to improve the tax increase plan with Gu Yong.

A few times later, Zhang Yu perfected the plan, and then headed south to Jiangdong.

On the way, Zhang Yu was thinking again on the bow of the ship.

"It is necessary to speed up the process, and to speed up the pace of reunification, we must actively attack and expand our strength." Zhang Yu thought.

"Yuan Shu should disappear, and only Yuan Shu's family can fight."

After consideration, Zhang Yu found that the best player around was Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's life was not easy at this time. Although Lu Bu joined him, his strength did not recover much.

Years of wars have exhausted Yuan Shu's family, and the people have been miserable.

After counting, Zhang Yu returned to Jiangdong.

After he arrived in Jiangdong, the royal city had been built, and the royal palace in the royal city started to be built simultaneously with the others. The royal palace was relatively simple, and it had been built a few months in advance.

However, this king city is still very empty, because there are not so many people.

People will not move in so quickly, they must come step by step.

The palace has been built, and Zhang Yu's family has also moved into the palace.

After Zhang Yu arrived, his generals and civil servants also arrived at the palace.

Zhang Yuping retired irrelevant personnel, and then said: "Gongtai, I invite you to come this time because there are important topics that you need to study."

Chen Gong was also invited by Zhang Yu, so Zhang Yu explained to Chen Gong first.

Chen Gong was also helpless. He liked Jiangdong Academy very much, but he didn't like to participate in the political whirlpool again.

Zhang Yu invited him to the meeting this time, and Chen Gong was very afraid that Zhang Yu would force him to join Zhang Yu’s core group Zheng

"Everyone, something big happened in the north this time..."

Zhang Yu will repeat the reason for going east in Fro.

Some of Zhang Yu's generals, Gao Shun, Ling Cao, Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, and Yu Jin knew about it, some didn't, but they were all shocked.

This time the civil servants were only Zhang Zhao, and Chen Gong was present at the same time.

"Master Zhang, I have a suggestion next."

Zhang Yu was a little surprised, and it was Chen Gong who spoke first.

"Public station, please speak."

"Master Zhang~www.wuxiaspot.com~ suggests that this matter is very important, and you can invite Cai Xueshi, Lu Lao and Zheng Lao together." Chen Gong suggested.

Cai Yong and the three others have not been involved in political affairs for many years. No matter how important things are, Zhang Yu will not disturb them. Occasionally, Zhang Yu will discuss with Lu Zhi the way to run the country and the way to run the army.

Seeing Zhang Yu's doubts, Chen Gong said, "Master Zhang, the appearance of such a big enemy outside this territory is no longer a family matter, but a matter of the entire Chinese nation. No one can stay out of the matter."

Yes, this is no longer a civil war, it is already a national war.

"Okay, I just came back. I took a rest for the night and thought about other things. Tomorrow afternoon, we will meet again, and there will be Laogongtai to go back and invite the three elders." Zhang Yu accepted Chen Gong's suggestion on the spot.

Chen Gong is bloody, it can be seen when Cao Cao was released when he ran with Cao Cao.

Chen Gong went back to invite the three elders, and the three of them felt obliged to listen.
