The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 168 is often reasonable

But having said that, did Li Muyun really go to rob people from other state capitals?
Actually otherwise, Li Muyun is not a fool, how could he do such a thing.

The reason for the joint impeachment of the eighteen state governments is that someone manipulated it behind the scenes, and the other is that jealousy is at work.

This is just like the performance appraisal of later generations. You say everyone sells cars together, and others watch you sell ten cars a day, but he can't sell one. Think about it, big guys, will that person be jealous?
As the saying goes, one theory connects all principles, although things are not the same thing, but the truth remains the same, which is the main reason why the eighteen state capitals will be jointly named.

Seeing this, interested people may have to ask, since Li Muyun didn't rob them, where did the population of Shanyin County come from?

In fact, this matter has to start with Li Shimin's oral order to him.

After all, half a year ago, Li Shimin only allowed Li Muyun to try to recruit fugitives to return home in his fief, but other state capitals did not receive such an order, so they could only watch Li Muyun recruit people, but they did not dare to move.

You know, this is a big policy, and no one dares to violate it, otherwise recruiting fugitives privately would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and all the assassins in the surrounding state capitals are long-time officials, how could they be willing to do this for a few people? A fugitive makes such a low-level mistake that can ruin his life.

So they could only watch Li Muyun wantonly recruit people to replenish the population, while they could only stare blankly.

And Li Muyun didn't recruit everyone. He had seen a lot of fugitives during this time, so he could tell at a glance who was a fugitive and what was a normal citizen.

Most of the guys who thought of making money indiscriminately have already been sent back. Shanyin County didn't take them in at all, and those people who skyrocketed in the county are just fugitives from other state capitals.

This is actually how people are. The reason why most people work hard all their lives is simply to survive. Their own state capital does not invite them back, and life in the mountains is difficult. Those people naturally have to find other ways to survive.

So they came to Li Muyun's Shanyin County, received their own household registration, built their own homes, and started their new lives. This is understandable.

This is exactly: there is nothing wrong in the world, and mediocrity disturbs it!
The eighteen prefectures around Shuozhou, either because of their own reasons or because of other external reasons, in short, they jointly sued Li Muyun under the envy and hatred. This is a disaster for a certain Marquis.

……

The scene turned back to Shanyin County, Fang Yizhi appeared in front of Li Muyun again, frowning and looking at him reluctantly.

"What? Are you still in a mood?" Li Muyun smiled indifferently, pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit down, we need to talk about some things."

"What are you talking about, you don't worry about anything as a hands-off shopkeeper!" Xiaofang said depressingly, obviously he still hasn't forgotten the thing that Li Muyun scolded him a few days ago.

"Hey, brother Fang, why don't you understand, in fact, I'm doing this for your own good. To put it bluntly, your character is a bit too soft. Even if you go to the center in the future, you will inevitably be deceived by your subordinates. Why don't you follow me?" I study hard, and it will always be useful in the future.”

"My temperament is soft, my father once said, but this is my nature!" Fang Yizhi seemed to know where his weakness was, and he didn't get angry when Li Muyun pointed it out, he just sighed.

"Personality can also be divided into innate and acquired. Although my brother's nature is like this, it may not be impossible to change it from day to day. Speaking of which, even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. You have seen some things at the grassroots level. In the future, you will go to a higher level. A high position will naturally know how to do it.”

Li Muyun talked eloquently, without the slightest idea that he had already got himself involved and became a "pig" in his own mouth.

Fang Yizhi naturally understood, but Xiaofang didn't say much, just looked at him with a weird smile, then thought for a while and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about me, let's talk about you, since you don't want to Collect agricultural tax, can you tell me where this tax comes from? You will have to pass this test at the end of the year."

"Hmph, it's rare to see. The agricultural tax is only a few dollars. You have transferred it in the county during this time. Do you think that even if I tax all these people and impose heavy taxes, can they pay all the taxes?" Li Muyun asked rhetorically.

Fang Yi bowed his head and thought for a while, then finally shook his head.

The geographical environment of Shanyin County determines that this place is not suitable for growing food at all. If the land cultivated by the people can maintain self-sufficiency, it is already considered good. If they are required to pay taxes, it is tantamount to killing them .

"So, since it's not enough to take it, why should I take it?" Li Muyun spread his hands.

"This..." Fang Yizhi rubbed his nose depressedly, and then said: "But it's better to accept it than not to accept it, at least...".

"There is nothing at least. People's hearts are more important than anything else now. If the agricultural tax is not enough, we can use other means to make up for it." Li Muyun shook his head again, and then said to Fang Yi: "By the way, I told you to build those cave dwellings a while ago. Are you done?"

"It's ready, if you want to burn that coke, you can start now." Fang Yizhi said.

Li Muyun pouted, and looked at Xiaofang with the eyes of the second idiot: "I burn the coke of the fart, even if it is burned, we use it ourselves, and it can't be exchanged for money. I mean, I want to burn some money. things like 'cement'."

"Water...water what?" Fang Yizhi asked uncertainly after a short period of sluggishness.

"Cement is a kind of ash used to build houses." Li Muyun explained.

"Ash? Mud?" Fang Yi always felt that his brain was not enough.

Li Muyun felt that it would be troublesome to explain this problem to Fang Yizhi, so he waved his hand: "Oh, forget it, you don't understand after talking about it, call a few people to follow me up the mountain, let's go around and see where there is a fire Raw materials for cement."

However, although Fang Yi didn't know what cement was, he heard another meaning from Li Muyun's words: "You, you mean that you don't even know if there are any raw materials in the county, so you are going to burn that thing called cement. ? And also, let me build the cave ahead of time?"

"Ang!" Li Muyun nodded confidently, and then felt that there was indeed something unreasonable, so he waved his hand again: "Hey, why are you like this, do you understand that people who make big things don't care about small things? Don't always worry about trivial matters. Huai, ah!"

That's it, Fang Yizhi reluctantly followed Li Muyun to climb the mountain.

And because of this, Li Muyun got a nickname—"Chang You Li", which means that no matter when, under what circumstances, and whoever he is facing, he can speak his own truth, and it really sounds like that. thing.
