My husband Zhuge Kongming

Jiang Dong's side was aggrieved, but Gan Ning's face was full of red.

"Sir, this Kuaiji has been taken, can we go further?" Gan Ning looked at Zhuge Liang beside him, and asked expectantly.

This time the rebellion in Kuaiji was led by Zhuge Liang, and Gan Ning led troops to assist.

Zhuge Liang sat on the horse, looked at the army formation in the distance, shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"Ah?" Gan Ning groaned, not quite understanding.

He likes to have a war and someone to tutor, um...he just does the war, it's so easy!

"Jiangdong will abandon Kuaiji to ensure the stability of other counties." Zhuge Liang explained.

"Such a big Kuaiji County..."

"Although Kuaiji is large, it is located in a remote place with inconvenient transportation. The money and food that can be provided to Sun Quan every year...is not too much. Although Sun Quan will be angry, there is nothing he can do."

Gan Ning thought for a while, nodded, yes, otherwise why would he have led the troops from Jiaozhou.

In this way, Yuzhang plus Kuaiji, the two largest counties in Yangzhou, are all in the hands of Jingzhou, plus Jiaozhou, which is in a cooperative state.

Jingzhou at this time is equivalent to continuous external expansion.

"General Gan's friendship with Zhou Mu can temporarily move the government office to Kuaiji, which can not only ease the confrontation with Shi Xie, but also guard Kuaiji and look at the east of the river. Moreover, the people of Kuaiji are tough, whether it is the people of the mountains or the mountains, or ordinary people. If you can form an army, the combat power will be good." Zhuge Liang suggested.

Gan Ning nodded his head naturally. In this way, Kuaiji is in his hands, Yuzhang is in Huang Zhong's hands, and after a few years, Jiangxia's soldiers will be added, and the three sides will encircle and Jiangdong will be destroyed.

So he smiled, "Thinking about it, Ah Chu should be satisfied with this gift."

Zhuge Liang also laughed, he...hasn't seen Ah Chu for many years.

Although the letter has not been broken, I also want to go back to Jingzhou in my heart.

"Sir, Ah Chu is... seventeen this year." Gan Ning reminded.

Zhuge Liang then fanned his lupine and nodded, "Yeah."

"Hurry up."

"Okay." Zhuge Liang responded.

Gan Ning then grinned.

I sigh in my heart, if such two smart people get together, the future baby... I don't know how smart it will be.

……

Xuchang.

Cao Cao looked at the battle report in his hand and was upset for a while.

"This little Sun Quan is so useless? I borrowed a large amount of money and food last year, but I lost Kuaiji this year!" Cao Cao walked back and forth in the study angrily.

Below, Xun Yu and other counselors did not expect that there would be so many rebellions in Jiangdong.

"Sun's acquisition of land is not right, and the gentry refused to return to their hearts. They only lost one Kuaiji, which is just a minor injury." Guo Jia said, "This will also allow Sun to concentrate on managing the remaining counties."

"Feng Xiao is right, but... this ally, we have to re-evaluate its strength." Xun Yu added.

Originally, when Sun Ce was there, Cao Cao still valued Jiangdong very much because of his bravery.

But now that Sun Ce is gone, Sun Quan has led Jiangdong... This Jiangdong is like a sick cat with no teeth, he can't even solve his own problems, let alone contain Jingzhou.

At this time, it is good luck not to be annexed by Jingzhou.

"But after this incident..." Jia Xu reminded, "My lord needs to pay attention to all kinds of merchants or businesses from the south."

Cao Cao's eyes darkened again.

How did Kuaiji get lost?It is clearly written in the battle report.

Sun Quan had no money, so he asked the counties for money, and the counties had no money, so they paid for it from the people.

But... do the counties really have no money?

No, the money is in the hands of the aristocratic family.

As a result, the people became angry. The people of Shanyue revolted first, then ordinary people revolted, and then...the local counter-insurgency army asked the Kuaiji family for money, so the Kuaiji family rebelled.

Mu Ganning of Jiaozhou dispatched troops quickly, and cooperated with the Kuaiji family to directly drive Jiangdong's counter-insurgency army all the way to the north of Kuaiji.

The Kuaiji family turned against the water, which made Kuaiji finally fall into the hands of Gan Ning.

But the family will rebel?

Apart from Jiang Dong asking them for money, the most important point... is the interests, the interests of Chu Zhi and the interests of Chi Tang.

Of course, there is also the method of winter wheat and summer rice.

There are so many good things in Jingzhou that few people can refuse.

"Since that's the case, let's do a good job of screening and charge more heavy city taxes for all kinds of merchants." Cao Cao said without thinking about it.

The counselors below changed their faces one by one.

"No." Xun Yu objected first.

"My lord, don't worry." Guo Jia also shook his head.

Jia Xu sighed, and said, "If the city tax is higher for merchants from the south, it will force... the various families to separate themselves from the lord."

Cao Cao stopped in his tracks, turned around, and sighed in his heart when he thought of the joints behind this incident.

There was a precedent for the Jiangdong family's rebellion, but he didn't want the business in the south to run rampant in the north, and he was afraid that his northern family would imitate Jiangdong's appearance.

But after thinking for a long time, I still don't intend to listen to everyone's opinions, "I, Cao Mengde, have been relying on my sons and sons since I started my army. If the various families cooperate, it is fine, and if they don't cooperate...don't blame me, Cao Cao, for imitating that Jiangdong scorpion!"

In such troubled times, Cao Cao does not intend to spoil the family.

Doesn't he know how much money the family has?
His Cao family and Xiahou's family are now one of the largest families.

With military power and status, who would dare to provoke the two of them?

The fields, money, food, and cloth in the clan also continued to increase.

Of course, many tribesmen also participated in these businesses in the south, but so what?

If someone from his Cao Cao clan participated, he would not have to pay taxes, and all the business in this world would be done by Cao Mengde!

Seeing this, Xun Yu and Guo Jia also thought about it.

Since ancient times, various families have never raised their clans to support a certain person. Although Cao Cao's method is likely to cause dissatisfaction among various families and merchants, it is only a matter of time before they pacify the north.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan would also deliver food to Cao Cao sooner or later.

At that time, Cao Cao will carry a certain amount of power in the north, and the families in the north will not dare to mess around at all.

If Cao Cao goes south smoothly, then... the southern families may have to choose supporters again.

"Since that's the case, I'll explain it to you." Xun Yu complied with Cao Cao's order.

For some reason, in the past few years, business has become much more prosperous than before. While the various aristocratic families made a lot of money, Cao Cao didn't end up with much money.

This will not work, and it will consume a lot of money and food to pacify the north.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Cao Cao nodded, with a smile on his face, and someone could know his hard work.

"Maybe, for Chu paper, books, brown sugar, dried fruit and other businesses, focus on increasing the city tax, and at the same time..." Guo Jia thought for a while, and said, "Reduce the land tax, oral tax, and the city tax of local cloth, grain, and department stores."

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded in agreement, "So, very good."

Give a stick, and then give a sweet date, so that these aristocratic families will be wary, so that they will know that this Xuchang... Cao Cao has the final say!
……

Huang Yueying didn't know that because she had driven a lot of business in various places, Cao Cao had already started countermeasures.

Is this inappropriate to impose import taxes to protect local products?
