Water Margin farming to become powerful

"Why are you leaving, my lord?"

When Sun Xin arrived in a hurry on horseback, Zong Ze had already got into the carriage and was yelling to leave.

The guy in the car, Sun Ji, was at a loss, and he didn't dare to move or disobey Zong Ze's order to get out of the car.

Sun Xin waved him away, and the guy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got out of the car.

Sun Xin opened the curtain of the car and looked at Zong Ze with a smile: "Why do you have to leave when a great talent arrives?"

Zong Ze sneered: "Master Sun Xin has great abilities, since he can subdue the hearts of everyone in Liangshan, what use is there for me, Zong Ze?"

Sun Newsyan laughed.

"I didn't lie to my lord in the letter. When I wrote the letter, Xiang Chong didn't surrender. I didn't expect that Xiang Chong would be willing to farm when the lord was still on the road a few days ago. Naturally, there was no way to give it to him. The adults know."

Zong Ze snorted coldly.

"Why are you so angry?"

Zong Ze took a look at Sun Xin and didn't speak, so Sun Xin asked again: "If your lord comes to persuade everyone in Liangshan to submit to the court, is there a way to do better than me?"

Zong Ze thought for a while, then shook his head and said in an unpleasant tone, "Of course I don't have the means like you."

Sun Xin nodded inwardly. Although Zong Ze had a stubborn temper, he was honest at least.

He has long known that people like Zong Ze admit death and have a stubborn temper. It is useless for you to speak softly to him. Only when he sees the real truth can he obey.Otherwise, there is no need to trick him from Dengzhou to Yunzhou.

Since it was his chance to open the chatterbox, Sun Xin saw a group of dealers around him watching, and it was inconvenient for him to talk here, so he simply sat on the handlebar seat, "I will take the adults for a walk."

"I'm already here, and there are many elite soldiers and generals around you. Where do you want to take me? Can I still say no?"

Sun Xin smiled, and told the farmer to hurry up and inform Dulonggang to prepare meals to entertain the guests in the evening, and he drove the carriage forward slowly.

The carriage left, farther away, Sun Xin asked without looking back while driving:

"Your Excellency, do you think what our Supervisory Council is doing is not right?"

"Your supervisor will lure others with benefits, you don't follow the etiquette, you don't have dignity, you probably don't respect the court very much, right? You don't want the emperor, ministers, father and son, how dare you talk about righteousness?"

Sun Xin smiled. There was no one around him, so he simply stopped pretending.

"My lord sees the truth."

Hearing what he said, Zong Ze in the car also sneered.

"Do you really think that your Supervisory Council can do this for a long time? If one day the imperial soldiers come to pay, you will be the next Liangshan."

Zong Ze's heart moved slightly, and he persuaded him with kind words: "If you had listened to me, you would have submitted to the imperial court as soon as possible. Now that the officials are taking care of you, you have a lot of money under your command. If you take a step back earlier, there will be a way to withdraw. If it is not as good as you now At that time, even if I want to surrender, I will not have such a good life now."

At this time, the carriage of the two men was passing by a group of women.

They talked and laughed along the way, and Sun Xin looked around curiously when Sun Xin's carriage passed by.

Many of these people were immigrants from Hebei, and they didn't know Sun Xin, but when they saw the carriage from Dengzhou, they would point out and say something interesting, and then the sister-in-law and sister-in-law laughed for a while.

Sun Xin drove past and said to Zong Ze in the car: "Those women are all women in Dulonggang, and the husbands are all working in the farmland of the Supervisory Committee to earn work points. It is almost lunch time. Some fields are far away, so these people hurried to feed their families."

"In the countryside, if ordinary village women rely on seeing the carriages of powerful or even wealthy businessmen passing by, how dare they talk so much. In rural areas, they will avoid strangers when they see women, for fear of offending the other party. If you want to come down to take the lead, if there is a beautiful woman among them, maybe it will attract the coveted hearts of outsiders and do some unspeakable things."

Sun Xin said with a smile to himself: "But when I came to Dulonggang on an auspicious day, I found that the women here like to look at horse-drawn carriages. I even asked about it, and only then did I know that it was because I specially found a group of horse-drawn horses in Hebei at that time. The bandits specially recruited refugees in Hebei, and transported them to enrich the various supervisory committees in Dengzhou as bankers."

"At that time, many of the refugees from Hebei came to Shandong in the carriages of our Dengzhou Supervisory Committee. Dare to do unruly things, so when they see the carriage of the Supervisory Committee, they will have a feeling that they are their own people, pointing to the carriage and guessing who is in the carriage, they also know that it will be fine. "

Sun Xin talked on the phone, and Zong Ze in the car kept silent. After Sun Xin finished talking, Zong Ze suddenly whispered: "This is a good thing your supervisory board has done to the people."

Sun Xin laughed.

It has been almost four years since he came to this time and space, and he has indeed done some things that he himself is proud of.

The lives of hundreds of thousands of people under his protection are much better than those in the original time and space, which is enough to make him proud.

He will protect more people in the future.

"Your Excellency said that our supervisory committee governs the people purely based on interests, and does not pay attention to etiquette and law education, but you have never thought about where this interest comes from."

Sun Xin looked back at Zong Ze and saw that Zong Ze was also thinking, he continued: "The money and food managed by our manager's committee all come from the money of the members of the supervisory committee, as well as the income of various factories and farms run by the supervisory committee. "

"Although I have gone through all kinds of complicated operations in the Bank of the Supervisory Committee, in the final analysis, the money comes from the people of the Supervisory Committee."

"There is enough money and food, which means that we have enough money from the people."

"Our Supervisory Council spends a lot of money on foreign affairs, and we have to pay the full amount of taxes from the imperial court on behalf of the common people. To be honest, I was also a landlord in the past. I know how many years we in Dengzhou have not been able to collect the full amount. In the past few years, not only have the tax revenue been sufficient, but our supervisory committee has enough money to use, and even the imperial court’s corvee has been basically provided.”

"In this way, we have taken much more money from the common people than from the imperial court."

Sun Xin looked at Zong Ze: "My lord, if the imperial court collects the money, how many of the common people would have been forced to rebel?"

Zong Ze was also more and more surprised when he heard it just now. He didn't answer Sun Xin's question, but he was very surprised in his heart.

If so much money was collected by the imperial court, it is estimated that the people under the rule of Dengzhou would have turned against it.

But how did the Supervisory Committee not only prevent the common people from rebelling and live and work in peace and contentment, but also increased the population of Dengzhou by [-]% under such a heavy tax burden?

After thinking for a long time without a clue, he finally couldn't help but ask Sun Xin: "How did you do it?"
