"He, he destroyed the entire Black Wind Mountain?”Ji Liang put down his teacup in shock.
"Lord Zhao is right.”Chen Hai said," I was also shocked when I heard it.”
"Chen Hai, do you think this kid is trying to take credit?”Ji Liang asked," Can a small Heyuan County like him destroy Black Wind Mountain?”
"I sent someone to verify it yesterday. The news is true.”
"Lord Zhao chopped off all the heads and piled them outside the Boundary Stele. It seems that he had long prepared them for the higher-ups to see.”Chen Hai laughed.
"Milord, this is a special recording token.”
Ji Liang took the token, and a trace of spiritual power circulated in his body. A green light immediately appeared on the token.
"Buzz ~"
A clear water curtain appeared in the air. Ripples rippled and quickly stabilized.
There were several groups of officials counting heads, and the scene was extremely bloody...
"There really is such a thing!" Ji Liang sighed.
Corpses could not be faked.
This was because the bones of Connate Realm experts were different from ordinary people. Their bones were like silver and as hard as cold iron.
As for those in the Spiritual Bridge Realm, they would have golden bones and would be immortal for a hundred years.
Even if he wanted to forge it, he had to have the ability.
It was impossible to hide the fact that he had killed an ordinary person.
At most, he could boast about his achievements, but he could not risk them.
"Zhao Xing, what a good guy. This new official has really set him on fire.”Ji Liang stroked his beard and smiled.
First, he had eliminated the snake demon, then the three great clans, and now, he had also eliminated the Blackwind Bandits.
If Ji Liang had only thought that Zhao Xing was smart before, now he truly admired him.
"Sir, there is one more thing." Chen Hai said.
"After the summer harvest, Heyuan County's tax payment has been sent up as soon as possible.”
"What percentage?" Ji Liang asked.
"According to the Great Zhou tax rate, we paid the full amount of grain tax, and there was an extra 30%.”
"How can there be an extra 30%?" Ji Liang said, stunned.
In the counties below, only those places that were assessed as high counties could pay taxes every year.
Not only did they not pay the rest every year, but they also thought of ways to cry poor and ask the county government for subsidies.
Now, a lower county had paid all of it, and it was even 30% more!
Ji Liang actually felt that it wasn't real.
"Sir, have you forgotten that you previously allowed the people around Heyuan County to move into Heyuan County?”
"This is how the extra 30% came about.”Chen Hai reminded.
"Cough cough…I almost forgot. There is indeed such a thing." Ji Liang coughed lightly.
"In that case, the population of Heyuan County has moved in quite a lot?”
"Lord Zhao reported that there are about 10,000 new people, but according to this official, the real number is far more than this number.”
"Sir, I heard that the boundary marker of Heyuan County has been moved to Lin County. Isn't this a little too much?" Chen Hai asked carefully.
"What? Cough, cough, cough!" Ji Liang almost choked again.
"How dare Zhao Xing do such a thing?"
"Sir, you've misunderstood. This wasn't done by Sir Zhao, but by the villagers of Lin County. I just want to join Heyuan County."
"I heard that Lord Zhao tried to stop him a few times, but he couldn't. He insisted on handing over the tax to Heyuan County. The reason was that the grain tax in Heyuan County was low, so they could have more food to eat.”
"Then how is Zhao Xing going to hand it over?" Ji Liang rubbed his forehead. He seemed to feel that there was a huge change in his lower body.
"Business tax!" Chen Hai said," Because Heyuan County's summer harvest has increased greatly, with food as the foundation, and the construction of the ferry on the Si River, there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going.”
"And I heard that there are absolutely no bandits in Heyuan County doing business. The merchants are all willing to go.”
"In my opinion, in another year or two, Nanyang County's trading center will have to move to Heyuan.”
"Why didn't I know about this!" Ji Liang felt that it was ridiculous.
Was this still the Heyuan County that he knew?
Why did it feel as if Heyuan County had been in the past few decades, but Zhao Xing had only been in office for four months!
" Sir," Chen Hai said helplessly," Heyuan County's Chief Secretary Liu has already sent a document to report these matters. It's on the upper right corner of your table…Yes, it's on the third last floor."”
Ji Liang quickly took it out and looked at it carefully. In a short while, he had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"Ask Zhao Xing to take some time to come to the government office. I have something to ask him.”Ji Liang sighed." If I didn't hear it from him personally, it would be hard to believe these numbers.”
" Then the matter of the villagers paying taxes in Lin County..."
"Put it aside for now." Ji Liang shook his head and said," If it's really as the document says, those commoners just want to eat more. Since they can live a better life in Heyuan County, I don't want to cut off their livelihood.”
"Milord, how should we reply to the official document regarding the extermination of the bandits?”Chen Hai asked.
" Let him wait first…" Ji Liang suddenly had a headache.
What he was troubled about now was not how to reply to Zhao Xing, but how to report it to the higher-ups.
Damn it, who would believe it if it was written so truthfully!
This was the first time he was put in a difficult position because his subordinate's contributions were too great and not realistic enough.
Ridiculous, ridiculous!
