Chapter 6 White Chapter 62 State Shepherd House Regular Meeting
Yingzhou Prefecture, in the lobby.
Xiezhou Mu Gao sat on his head, and Liang Zhaohuang and other eight counties were standing below.
Liang Zhaohuang looked at the other seven county magistrates. At this time, all the eight counties in Yingzhou had already experienced the first trip to the "Spiritual Ding Secret Realm". The grades of each family were evaluated, while the eight county magistrates were still eight of the previous ones, and no new faces appeared.
This shows that the first trip to the "Spiritual Tripod Secret Realm" seems that the county is still stable and there is no major struggle for power and profit.
At least, no one was seized as the magistrate of the eight families.
However, Liang Zhaohuang didn't know how long this pattern could last.
Perhaps when the next time the "Spiritual Tripod Secret Realm" is opened and each county and family evaluates the grade of the family, there will be major struggles for power and profits and major changes.
Especially Fujiwara County, Tanfeng County, and Jinsha County. As far as Liang Zhaohuang knows, the Xue family in Fujiwara County, the Gao family in Tanfeng County, and Jinsha County are not good at it.
With a change of thought, Liang Zhaohuang followed several people to the Shangshou Xiezhou Mu founded.
"You guys, please get up..." Xie Zhoumu's voice came from the head of the head, and at the same time, an invisible force floated onto Liang Zhaohuang and others' arms and helped them up.
"For this spring meeting, can each county report important matters?"
The Muslim Xie Zhou sat in the upper head and did not rush to talk about what happened today. He asked several county magistrates first.
Liang Zhaohuang and others looked at each other. At this time, the county magistrate of Gaotai County stepped out and bowed to the upper leader Xiezhou Mu, saying, "Mr. Qibingzhou Mu, the Sun family of Xiaguan family, found traces of the Buyi League in Gaotai County."
"Customs Alliance!" Xie Zhoumu, who was sitting in the upper head, was also slightly upright when he heard this. He looked at the Gaotai County Governor and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Sun, do you think this is true?"
Liang Zhaohuang couldn't help but look at the county magistrate Sun at this moment.
He didn't expect that after decades, he heard about the "Buyi Alliance" in Yingzhou.
County Magistrate Sun nodded solemnly at this time and said, "It is true that my Sun family's children seized some clues when inspecting the county and destroyed a stronghold of the 'Buddha League'."
"However, there were masters in the 'Buyi Alliance' stronghold at that time. My Sun family's children were unable to completely wipe out. There were also 'Buyi Alliance' monks who fled and fled, and they were probably still wandering in Yingzhou."
When the headmaster Xie Zhoumu heard this, he said in a deep voice: "These thieves of the 'Custom-Edge Alliance' are really difficult to deal with. I have only been established in Yingzhou for half a year, but I have developed into Yingzhou!"
As he said that, Xie Zhoumu looked at the county magistrates below and asked: "Have anyone found the traces of the 'Buyi Alliance'?"
Liang Zhaohuang and others looked at each other, all shook their heads.
However, the governor of Yuan of Xuangui County took a step forward at this time, bowed to Xiezhou Mu, and said, "I, Xuangui County, did not find any traces of the 'Customs Alliance', but found the traces of the demon cultivator. He practiced the Blood Demon Way, which is probably related to the Blood Sea Demon Lord!"
The governor Yuan said, and his face was still shocked.
The Blood Sea Demon Lord has the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul. Among Yingzhou, only Yingzhou Mu and Dazhong are their opponents.
The other families, including the prefectures of the counties and counties, are no match for them.
If the Blood Sea Demon Lord attacked the Honourable Clans of each county, I am afraid that no one could resist it.
At this time, not only was the face of the governor Yuan's face shocked.
The rest of the people, including Liang Zhaohuang, also showed surprise on their faces.
The headmaster Xie Zhoumu heard this and couldn't help but look slightly upright. He looked at everyone in shock. He said first: "Don't worry, the pastor of this province toured various counties and set up a trap, which attracted the attacks of the Blood Sea Demon Lord and the remnants of the Bafang Pavilion."
"During that attack, the True Lord who was supported by the Honzhou Mu and the Immortal Dynasty had already severely damaged the Demon Lord of the Blood Sea."
"Although he was not able to kill him at that time, the Blood Sea Demon Lord could not recover soon here."
Hearing Xie Zhoumu say this, Liang Zhaohuang couldn't help but remember the battle that broke out during the parade of the state when he followed Qingpeng to travel around the world. He nodded slightly and his expression improved a little.
The other county magistrates obviously knew about this, and their expressions improved a lot when they heard this.
Xie Zhoumu first calmed down the hearts of the people, then turned to the Yuan County Governor of Xuangui County and said, "Mr. Yuan, the Demon Lord of Blood Sea was severely injured by me. If you want to recover as soon as possible, you must seize a large amount of flesh and blood to swallow it."
"Over the years, our Xie family has been pursuing the traces of the Blood Sea Demon Lord, but he has gained nothing."
"This time, you Xuangui County discovered that there are monks who practiced the Blood Demon Path, which are probably related to the Blood Sea Demon Lord. They are demon cultivators who collect blood and flesh for the Blood Sea Demon Lord."
"So, let me investigate strictly, it is best to track down the traces of the Demon Lord of the Blood Sea!"
"We want to completely eliminate the harm of this demon cultivator before he recovers."
"Yes!" The governor of Yuan County, Xuangui County, responded immediately.
The headmaster Xie Zhoumu nodded and said, "Then I will send someone to return to Xuangui County with you, and I will definitely catch the traces of these blood demon cultivators."
As he said that, he looked at the rest of the people and said, "The Blood Demon Taoist monks appeared in Xuangui County, and there are probably demon cultivators hidden in the other counties. Each family also needs to carefully investigate. If the traces of the Blood Demon Taoist monks are found, report them to the Prefecture Palace in time."
"Yes, Lord Zhou Mu!"
When Liang Zhaohuang and others heard this, they naturally bowed together to respond.
Xie Zhoumu sat on the top, nodded slightly when he saw this, and then said, "Is there anyone else who has something to report?"
At this time, the two county magistrates of Fujiwara County and Tanifeng County looked at each other, then took a step forward, bowed to the head Xiezhou Mu, and said:
"Mr. Bingzhou, we found traces of remnants of Bafang Pavilion in our Fujiwara County."
"We have also discovered it in Gufeng County."
"Oh?" Xie Zhoumu looked at the two of them with an inexplicable expression: "The remnants of Bafang Pavilion?"
The other county magistrates also looked at the two of them at this time.
Liang Zhaohuang looked at the two of them, but his heart suddenly moved.
Among the two counties, there are family members who surrendered from the "Bafang Pavilion", namely the Xue family in Fujiwara County and the Takayaki family in Tanifeng County.
When the Immortal Dynasty was developing Yingzhou, these two families surrendered to the Immortal Dynasty from Bafang Pavilion. After the war, they were divided into Fujiwara County and Tanifeng County. They were both newly promoted county Wang family families.
Moreover, as far as Liang Zhaohuang knows, these two families have developed quite well with their years of experience in the East China Sea.
It even faintly threatens the families of the county magistrates of the two counties.
At this time, the two counties and county magistrates stood up together and said that they had discovered the traces of the remnants of the "Bafang Pavilion"!
Is there anything wrong with this?
Liang Zhaohuang's mind suddenly changed many thoughts. Based on his experience over the years, there was definitely something wrong with this.
At the head, Xie Zhoumu seemed to see through everything and chuckled: "The remnants of Bafang Pavilion are no longer in the weather, but since you two counties have found traces, then look up. If you find anything, remember to report to the provincial governor's office in time."
"Yes, Lord Zhou Mu!"
The magistrates of the two counties bowed and then retreated to the queue.
Xie Zhoumu looked at the remaining people and asked again: "Is there anything else to report?"
The remaining few people, including Liang Zhaohuang, were speechless.
At the head, Xie Zhoumu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, it seems that you have nothing to do, so let me tell you one thing."
"Thirty years ago, Yingzhou was first established and everything was in ruins. At that time, the imperial court and the governors of this prefecture promised that the counties under Yingzhou would be exempted from tax for 30 years."
"Now that the thirty years have expired, starting this year, the imperial court and the provincial government will collect various taxes from each county and county."
When Liang Zhaohuang heard this, his face remained unmoved, but he knew in his heart that tax issues were indeed the focus of this year's spring meeting.
Xie Zhoumu said, looking at the people below and said, "All the county magistrates, are there any problems?"
Liang Zhaohuang and others naturally bowed and said there was no problem.
This is the policy that was originally set, with thirty years of tax exemption. Now that thirty years have passed, we naturally have to start collecting taxes.
The governor of Yuli County, Lu, even took the list, praised it very much, and praised the benevolent policies of the imperial court and the provincial governor's office.
But it fully demonstrates the attitude of the Xie family's followers.
The headmaster Xie Zhoumu nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, saying: "For thirty years of tax exemption, all counties and counties in Yingzhou have developed considerable development, humanitarianism and economic prosperity."
"This year is the first time tax collection, and it must be taken seriously."
He said, looking at everyone and said, "When each county goes back, immediately count the "fish scale picture album" of each county and each county, summarize the situation of each county and county, and report it to our provincial governor's office in three months. These "fish scale picture albums" will be the basis for tax collection of each county and each county at the end of the year."
"Of course, our governor's office will also send Cao officials to travel to various counties and counties to secretly investigate the situation. If there is a big problem with the 'fish scale picture album' handed over by all the county magists, don't blame the governor for being unpolite at that time!"
Xie Zhoumu said in the end, his tone was already quite stern.
"The officials dare not!"
Liang Zhaohuang and others responded.
The headmaster Xie Zhoumu nodded slightly and continued: "Just just now, the county reported to the common corps, demon cultivators, and remnants of the Bafang Pavilion appeared. All families should pay attention to precautions and do not let these changes affect the tax collection this year."
"This year is the first time that I have been taxed by Yingzhou. The governor of this state does not want any problems!"
Xie Zhoumu's tone became more and more stern.
The position of the Xie family as the Yingzhou family can be said to be the court and promoted by the royal family. Then the Xie family represents the court and the royal family to guard Yingzhou, and they must show their value.
Mastering the East China Sea commercial path, supervising the East China Sea islands, etc. are all the value.
The court, which provides resources for the court and the royal family, is one of the main values of the states, counties and counties in the Immortal Dynasty.
Xiezhou Mu naturally did not want to pay the tax on the court for the first time this year, so problems arose.
In that case, the court would not blame the counties below, but would only blame the Xie family of the prefecture, which seemed to be the incompetent Xie family of Yingzhou.
Therefore, this spring meeting, except for the common alliance, demon cultivators, and the remnants of the Bafang Pavilion reported by the county magistrates, Xie Zhoumu did not talk about anything else, but only talked about taxation.
This also shows that taxation is the only and most important thing this year, and no mistakes are allowed.
Liang Zhaohuang and others are also old officials, so they naturally understand this.
Everyone couldn't help but think a little more about the tax matters that followed.
After that, Xie Zhoumu did not say anything else. After talking about taxation, he went on to disperse this spring meeting, allowing everyone to gather to prepare for the "fish scale picture album" and taxation matters.
Chapter completed!
