Chapter 32 The turbulent autumn

"The grain collection situation in each county is stable, and the people are actively selling grain. The grain collected from the warehouse is often closed, which is more than expected. The problem is that the grain collected is more than expected!" The chief clerk reported on the autumn harvest situation.

The charge is too much, and according to the average market price, this also means that the expenses will also increase.

"What about the tax collection this year?" Sun Hao asked.

I had to take a look at the chief clerk, whose name was Luo Ming, who was originally the princess.

He is in his forties and is still in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is no mistake, so it is difficult to replace people.

The county magistrate was the same, and promoted the magistrate of Moling and arranged Han Ding by the way...

The fact that Yu Fan or others were not directly appointed was mainly a resume issue.

Lu Chi made the most contribution, but he was more suitable to be the supervisor.

General Lu Chi, but Yu Fan could only be the master of the throne.

However, in two years, the resume is enough, so you can arrange an promotion.

Just so happened that Lu Fan, Chen Duan and Qin Song also gave Lu Fan, an opportunity to compete.

"According to the requirements of the Fujun, cloth, grain, salt, iron and medicines are exempted from taxes, but after the tax rates of luxury goods and alcohol are increased, the tax revenue barely maintained last year's quantity." Luo Ming reported that at first he thought that the record of Jin Cao was incorrect, and he confirmed it several times.

Of course this is nonsense. There are many places where the big man bans alcohol, but only Danyang can be sold publicly.

The tax rate is higher, and even attracts many drunkards to come to drink from other counties.

But since we are here, of course it is impossible to just drink, eat, sleep or something, and buy some local specialties and then go back, and the tax will come.

At the same time, Jiangdong has been quite rich in the past two years, so many of the wealthy families have secretly brewed wine.

The output will be further increased this year, and the amount of wine brewing may be further increased.

In addition, precious metals, spices and silk are also consumed by the wealthy families in Jiangdong.

For them, even if the price of these things increases by 30% or even 50%, they don’t feel anything.

After all, those who can afford these things will not care too much about the price.

Of course, I really care about the price, so I can also go to Linjun.

But the world is so chaotic. I heard that other counties have more and more gangs, and they are not short of money. They spend a few days to go to other counties to buy things that may not even have goods. It is really not cost-effective.

The prominent clans who came to their senses probably guessed that they were trapped by the prefect, or they were voluntarily trapped.

Maybe, I can hold a drink festival next year...

Sun Hao thought about it and remembered that heroes like to drink these days, especially good wine.

Maybe, it can attract several generals and then recruit them under your command.

But it’s all right. Wanling was established in the early Western Han Dynasty, a typical Lingyi County.

Will carnival be held here disturbing the rest of our ancestors?

I had to look at the map and focus my eyes directly on Wuhu County.

I don't know why, but I think it's good.

After saying the idea, no one objected, after all, it could collect a lot of alcohol taxes.

But why should I be in Wuhu? I was very curious, but I didn’t ask in the end.

"But, in this case, wouldn't local prominent families use a lot of grain to make wine?" Tian Cao made a statement.

"Regularly, the grain chambers in other counties will sell the grain over." The chief clerk thought for a while, after all, tax exemption and grain prices are stable, so the fool would not come.

"The Lord of the Mansion is far-sighted!" Yu Fan and others felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't say it. Thousands of words turned into this flattery.

Only Lu Chi realized that something was wrong and immediately refuted: "If there is too much grain coming and the price of grain falls again, will he often close the position and continue to purchase grain?"

This year's tax revenue can only be said to be balanced with last year.

But a large part of the income is used to buy food.

The main reason is that the transaction is entirely due to the government’s losses, and the people of Danyang County are all profitable.

But the Johns found a flaw, which led to a large amount of grain in other counties, further lowering prices. Can the stocks be absorbed?

"Purchase, why not buy it?" Sun Hao said casually, "It's pretty good whether it's military ration or sold it!"

Average price, what is average price? Naturally, you can’t lose much.

As long as it can be transported to the Central Plains or even within the Guanzhong area, this large batch of grain can be sold at a good price.

In essence, the thing about grain trading is to make a lot of money.

I also thought about taking it directly to make wine, but it was just the "official winemaking workshop" that made money quickly, but it was also a minefield.

Now that the salt and iron franchise has been abolished, the rash "official winemaking workshop" will be labeled as "competing for profit with the people".

Similarly, an official who has nothing to do to study business will have a reputation that will be maliciously slandered.

As the same goes, the wealthy families of aristocratic families do not want the official to participate in the business.

After all, they don’t want the government to monopolize the industry, which means they can only drink soup with them, and they want more!

For double standards, the wealthy families of aristocratic families can be said to be old double standards!

For others, you ask others to "be poor and be able to help the world, and be poor and be able to help the world." For yourself, you ask yourself, you want to be poor and be able to help the world.

Da? What is Da?

Then everyone needs to support them, but they can't achieve it!

Let’s talk about helping the world and other things!

Everyone was slightly silent after hearing Sun Hao's speech.

If you sell it in a concentrated manner, that's OK, but it can be said that it is to stabilize the food price.

It is also possible to use it as military rations, but this military ration could have been purchased at the lowest price...

It would be better to say that purchasing it under the name of military rations from the beginning can even restore some grain prices.

After all, the thing about Changquan is a national project. If you open a Changquan position in a county, you will suffer any loss no matter how you look at it.

If there are several consecutive years of high yields, and every year, you have to purchase at an average price, but you cannot sell at an average price. The government has been losing money, and something will happen sooner or later.

But Sun Hao didn't think so, he felt that this thing was like buying insurance.

Some people think it is a bet, so they don’t buy it. But if you need food in a certain year, there will be problems with insufficient food. What should I do?

Who can guarantee when will natural disasters and man-made disasters happen?

"After that being said... if it was just a tax situation, why did we also come?" Sun Ce finally couldn't stand the loneliness and tried to ask questions on his own initiative. As for this thing, it would be enough for the officials in the yamen to talk about it, what does it have to do with their generals?

"Bo Fu, haven't you heard that what you discussed before is all for the preparations for war?" Sun Hao said angrily.

The first thing to consider when fighting is the issue of military rations. Without looking at how much food has been collected this year, how to determine whether the war can be started.

If the war can begin, how far can it be fought?

Before the troops moved, food and grass came first. Didn’t Sun Ce know this?

Sun Ce may know this, but you have been talking about the problem for a long time, why didn’t I realize it was going to fight?

"Forget it, just get to the point!" Sun Hao looked at Lu Chi.

"Based on the exact information obtained, after Tao Qian pacified Que Xuan's rebellion, Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, was worried about the safety of his father Cao Song, and sent someone to pick him up to Yanzhou. However, on the way, Zhang Kai, the general under Tao Qian, coveted the wealth that Cao Song brought and killed him.

When Cao Yanzhou received the news, he was furious. While handling the funeral for his father, he sent troops to attack Xuzhou! Calculate the time, it was about five days ago!" Lu Chi said to everyone about the information he collected.

"But, what does this have to do with us?" Sun Ce didn't understand. Yanzhou attacked Xuzhou and Guan Yangzhou Danyang County?

"We are only the same distance from Guangling County!" Sun Hao sighed, "We have supported Tao Qian earlier, and this time we can also make a re-use. In the name of 'supporting Xuzhou', we sent troops across the river and seize Guangling County."

If I remember that, Cao Cao would be stolen by Lu Bu later. If the opportunity to go north is correct this time, he would even be able to steal Liu Bei's credit.

Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this. Is there such an operation?

Attack others, but others still have to thank you?!

Speaking of which, a soldier hurriedly came in and asked for instructions and handed over a piece of information to Lu Chi.

"Let's not talk about Xuzhou, our neighbors are uneasy." Lu Chi looked at the information and handed it over to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao took it and took a look. The information was written in a code, but he could understand it.

After all, this set of code was originally discussed by him and Lu Chi.
