Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Jizhou, Leling County

In a quiet house, Xie Zhan was looking at the manuscripts in Zhang Zhongxian's study that Fan Yang had sent.

Liao Xuewang accompanied him.

Through these manuscripts, Xie Zhan summarized and summarized by himself, and indeed understood the content of Zhang Zhongxian's tax law reform.

In addition, there are many drafts and ideas about legislation.

Zhang Zhongxian was indeed a great talent, but it was a pity that he was defeated by Pingzhou.

Xie Zhan’s focus is more on tax law reform.

Xie Zhan knows very well that once this tax reform law is implemented, it will be extremely beneficial to the national treasury and the people.

First of all, clearing land alone can directly expand tax sources and then significantly increase Dali's tax revenue.

Article 2: Unifying taxes and servitude can avoid apportionment and excessive taxes and reduce the burden on the people.

Article 3: The taxation of silver per mu should only collect taxes converted into silver. This can not only avoid corruption by local officials, but also avoid the losses caused by it.

Everything about Zhang Zhongxian's tax law reform is good, but the only thing that is unfriendly is the powerful class.

However, it cannot be established without destruction. Only by reforming the tax law and bringing a lot of wealth to Dali can Dali be revitalized.

Xie Zhan's heart was racing, and he drank a large sip of herbal tea to suppress his excitement.

"Zhang Zhongxian will have some time to go to Pingzhou, right? Isn't there any big movement in Pingzhou?" Xie Zhan asked Liao Xuewang.

Liao Xuewang shook his head, "I have been asking people to pay attention to the news in Pingzhou. It is true that Pingzhou has not implemented the new tax law."

Xie Zhan frowned slightly. If such a tax reform law is implemented, it will also be good for Pingzhou.

However, Xie Zhan could also guess some of the reasons why Pingzhou stood still.

The new tax law offended the powerful, and Pingzhou has been trying its best to win over people since it became a separatist state. This time, Pingzhou obviously wanted to reap the benefits.

Xie Zhan thought to himself, otherwise, would he wait any longer? Because Pingzhou's approach of standing still despite receiving the new tax law always made him doubtful. Is there anything wrong with this new tax law?

Xie Zhan's idea is good, but the next series of events led by Pingzhou will force him to take action. In short, Pingzhou can afford to wait, but Dali cannot afford to wait.

"However, I heard that Zhang Zhongxian is busy with Pingzhou legislation." Liao Xuewang added.

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhan took out the notes on legislation from Zhang Zhongxian's manuscript.

After reading them, he sorted them out one by one and put them in one place.

Xie Zhan is very clear that he can only implement tax law reform first. If these two pronged measures are taken together, the people will applaud and celebrate, but the opinions of the powerful and aristocratic families will definitely be very big.

After all, the former has already caused the rich and powerful to bleed, and if you add the harsh laws against them, they will definitely be furious.

Therefore, we can only do it one by one.

Xie Zhan's eyes fell on what Liao Xuewang brought, "What is this?"

"Pingzhou's new newspaper."

Xie Zhan took it over and opened it, only to find that the newspaper was very large.

Lu's workshop should be able to make such a large piece of paper.

His eyes fell on the very neat fonts on the newspaper, and he could tell at a glance that this newspaper used Pingzhou's unique printing technology.

This technology has been available in Pingzhou for a long time. He asked people to inquire secretly for several years before finally getting some definite information. Pingzhou has a very unique engraving and printing technology.

The four words "engraving and printing" were already very vivid. After he got the news, he asked people to experiment. At present, a workshop under his control can already print some simple books, but the speed is not fast.

After he opened the newspaper, he read the contents at a glance.

In the newspaper, there are travel notes published by the masters and students of Liaodong Academy, interesting anecdotes about what happened in Pingzhou, stories about the heroic deeds of knights, and some common knowledge about life. There is even a gap in the newspaper. A small square with recruitment information for some workshops in Pingzhou...

Xie Zhan didn't know that the local newspapers in Pingzhou would also publish some of Pingzhou's new policies in conspicuous places to let the people know about them.

Xie Zhan read through it and found that what was written in the Pingzhou newspaper was all seemingly innocuous content.

At this time, he did not realize that it was very easy for newspapers to carry private goods. At this time, Xie Zhan felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong. But that doesn't stop him from targeting it.

"Is this newspaper very profitable?"

"Grand Governor, if your subordinates come to do this business, the cost will be very high."

"I'll have people support you with paper and printing."

"That's no problem!"

Liao Xuewang continued, "Grand Governor, there are many new things in Pingzhou." It's not like Dali, which is like a pool of stagnant water.

"These new gadgets are very profitable." For example, Pingzhou paper is a major category and sells very well.

"The local government tried its best to invite those businessmen to set up workshops there, but most of them refused. Moreover, the money they earned was not deposited in local banks. It was regularly transported back to Pingzhou by ship."

But Liao Xuewang also knew that not everything in Pingzhou was sold to takeaways. For example, cement was not sold to Dali. Even if local people in Pingzhou want to use cement, they need to apply and accept supervision, and the amount they apply for will not be too much.

Xie Zhan listened quietly.

Since Dali lifted the ban on doing business in Pingzhou, Pingzhou merchants who went to Dali from Pingzhou to do business were like crucian carp crossing the river, and the wealth they earned was shocking.

Although Xie Zhan was mentally prepared before, the current situation was still beyond his expectation.

Lu Songli forced Dali to lift the ban on Pingzhou by selling large amounts of salt to Dali at low prices. Xie Zhan persuaded the emperor to agree to this matter, not without ideas.

He has always known that the Chinese people's imitation ability is very strong.

Moreover, businessmen pursue profits. As long as they see that what Pingzhou businessmen bring is very popular, they will invest money to study and develop.

Even if the quality of the imitation is not good at first, it doesn't matter. As long as the price is cheaper than Pingzhou, there will be a market for the things that are supplied to the people.

He had already tested this before when he was in Southland.

In this way, he can bring more new things to Dali.

From Pingzhou You, it became Dali You.

Bad money drives out good money.

Imitate it, become it, transcend it.

This is the path he planned for Dali.

Xie Zhanxin said, Lu Songli, you didn't expect it, did you? Haha, his advantage is not so easy to take advantage of.
