There are fixed taxes and tax distributions in Ludong County. It seems that 10% of tax increases may not be much, but the scope involved is wide.

Not to mention anything else, where does the 10% tax increase come from?

If the wealthy families in the county are allowed to be distributed and the tax sharing allocated to the wealthy families in the county are reduced, those wealthy families will definitely not agree.

In this way, we can only share the taxes downward and increase taxes, which will be shared by all poor families in towns, wealthy families in counties, even casual cultivators, and casual cultivators.

If you continue to share this, it seems that there is not much, but the impact will be huge.

In particular, this was Liang Zhaohuang's first year as the county magistrate of Ludong County.

In the first year of his tenure, all forces in Ludong County had not seen any benefits or dividends that his new county magistrate brought to the county; instead, he would increase taxes when he took office!

The impressions of various forces can be imagined.

This would undoubtedly be of no benefit to the Liang family's self-serving in Ludong County.

Liang Zhaohuang put together the golden book, looked slightly bitter, and said to the governor Nie, "Mr. County Master, why do you need to increase taxes when you are so good?"

"Ludong County has not recovered until now because of the magic disaster ten years ago."

"And the East Sea pirates' Rebellion in recent years has made the situation even worse."

Liang Zhaohuang was helpless and complained: "Although this is the first time that the Xiaguan took over as the county magistrate and had not been responsible for tax revenue in Ludong County before, I still know the annual harvest and tax payment of our Liang family."

"Originally, the officials came to see the Lord and were wondering whether they could ask the county for some grace, because the East Sea Pirates' Rebellion would reduce the taxes in the county."

"I didn't expect that now, not only did I have no tax reductions and exemptions, but I also had to increase taxes."

"How can I explain to the county center when I ask the Xiaguan to go back?"

Hearing Liang Zhaohuang’s complaints, County Governor Nie’s face was slightly dark and said, “This tax increase policy was made by the court and the aristocratic families in the state, and we cannot decide.”

"What's more, this time the tax increase is not just the area of ​​your Ludong County. There are tax increases requirements for all counties and counties under Yangzhou."

"Even in our Luyang County, tax revenue has increased this year."

"Why didn't you see other counties complain? You Ludong County are you crying for poverty?"

County Governor Nie shook his head and said:

"As for the East Sea Pirates? They are just a bunch of stray dogs and wanderers, and they will be wiped out."

"This is your responsibility as a local county magistrate."

"I'm so embarrassed to use it to ask for tax exemption?"

County Governor Nie looked at Liang Zhaohuang? Shaking his head and said:

"Mr. Liang County Magistrate? Since I ask me to take care of you before leaving, then what you said before? I won't care about the bastards."

"After going back, I'll think about how to take the position of the county magistrate."

As he said that, County Governor Nie had already served tea and saw the guests off.

Liang Zhaohuang had no choice but to get up and salute, say goodbye and leave.

After leaving the county magistrate's mansion, Liang Zhaohuang returned to "Liangyuan" with helpless expression.

The eldest brother, second sister, cousin and others were all in Liangyuan and came to meet him one after another. They also found that his expression was wrong.

"Cousin? What's wrong?" Cousin Wang Junhui couldn't help but ask: "But what's wrong with meeting with the county magistrate?"

As he said that, he couldn't help but frown and said, "No, I left the relationship with Boss Liu? There should be no problem."

Liang Zhaohuang waved his hand and said, "Is that Boss Liu really a person with great hands and eyes? I also paid homage to the governor Nie today."

"I'm worried about it for another reason."

"What happened?" Big brother and second sister couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Liang Zhaohuang took out the tax-increased 'gold book' and handed it to the elder brother and said, "You can tell if you look at this."

This gold book was sent to the county magistrate's office to the following counties, informing various policies and government orders. Is it going to be sent to the Ludong County Government Office? Liang Zhaohuang came to visit this time? Naturally, County Governor Nie gave it to him directly, and there was no need to send it to the Ludong County Government Office.

"Add taxes?" The elder brother quickly read the government orders in the 'Gold Book' and was also shocked.

“What is the tax increase?”

Second sister Liang Zhaoyu and cousin Wang Junhui soon saw the information on the "Golden Book", but their faces were different.

The second sister Liang Zhaoyu was also surprised and frowned and said, "How can I raise the taxes well?"

"Now the East Sea Pirates' Rebellion is in a turmoil, and the harvest in the county is getting worse every year. If you don't give a tax cut, why do you have to increase the tax?"

"It's not only that!" The eldest brother Liang Zhaojun said in a deep voice: "This is the first year our Liang family has taken control of the position of county magistrate. As a result, we encountered a tax increase policy. I'm afraid the county will be dissatisfied!"

Obviously, the eldest brother Liang Zhaojun understood the reason for Liang Zhaohuang's sorrow.

"Ah!" The second sister Liang Zhaoyu reacted when she heard the elder brother's words and exclaimed: "What should I do?"

The three of the Liang family each had their own surprise and sadness. Instead, their cousin Wang Junhui, who was standing beside him, looked at the contents of the "Golden Book" and felt thoughtful.

He only heard him say in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's because of the East Sea pirates that the states have the intention of increasing taxes."

"What does it mean?" Liang Zhaohuang couldn't help but look at the other party and asked, "Does my cousin have any inside information?"

Wang Junhui shook his head slightly and said, "It's just that some speculations may not be accurate."

The three members of the Liang family immediately looked at him.

Cousin Wang Junhui pondered for a moment and said, "The state chooses to increase taxes at this time, which is undoubtedly raising resources."

"And raising resources must be the state ready to take action."

"As for the goal of this action, there are only two points, internal or external."

"If you are inward, the biggest disaster in Yangzhou is the East Sea Pirates."

"And to the outside world, the most likely thing is the East China Sea!"

Hearing Wang Junhui's words, Liang Zhaohuang also reacted immediately and pondered: "This is the Yang family of the aristocratic family, who wants to intervene in the East China Rebellion?"

"That's why there are tax increases and resources gathering!"

Wang Junhui nodded slightly and said, "This is just a little guess from me. And it may not be just the aristocratic Yang family who wants to intervene in the East China Rebellion. As far as I can tell, all counties in the city are raising resources and preparing manpower, and they will take action."

Although it was a guess, Liang Zhaohuang already understood in his heart that there should be no problem with this guess.

Even the former county magistrate Xie Wenyun, now he has brought a group of people to the East China Sea to make achievements while the chaos is in progress.

So, as the Yang family, a noble family in Yangzhou, facing the East China Sea, with strong strength and even a warship army, how could he miss this great opportunity and not interfere in the chaos in the East China Sea?

Not only the Yang family, I am afraid that the entire Great Jin Immortal Dynasty will take the opportunity to take action. Even behind the chaos in the East China Sea, there are probably plans from the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

Former county magistrate Xie Wenyun must have more information and grasp more situations, so he would take this opportunity to take people to the East China Sea to make achievements.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him, a single Jindan monk, to bring a group of people, if it were not for the general trend to rely on, it would be impossible to make achievements in the East China Sea Demon Disaster, and it would even be more likely to be trapped in the East China Sea.

Liang Zhaohuang has gradually understood the current situation and has almost understood the origin of this tax increase.
