After hearing this, Qin Yang felt a sense of accomplishment.
After he came to Youzhou, he said he wanted salted fish, but in fact, he has been working hard to improve the lives of the people in Youzhou.
Now it has indeed achieved results. It can be said that in Youzhou, all his people will not be short of meat during the Chinese New Year!
Now, even goat's milk has to be replenished. It is conceivable that in a few years, the local physical fitness in Youzhou will definitely rise to a big level!
After he left the sheep stall, he went to visit other places in the market.
Then he discovered that in this market, besides the natives of Youzhou, there were also people from other states and counties in the Northland.
The people he saw carrying poles and baskets on the road before came from outside Youzhou!
This is reasonable. After all, since the income of the people in Youzhou has generally increased in the past two years, it is not that difficult to buy an ox cart and a horse carriage. It is not that difficult to buy a donkey with two taels of silver and buy a donkey cart.
Those who don't have a donkey cart at home can generally afford to spend some money and hire an ox cart and a donkey cart to go to the market.
Now that you have money in your pocket, you have enough confidence. There is really no need to let yourself travel long distances on two legs when it is so cold in winter.
"How was the harvest in other states and counties in the North this year?" Qin Yang couldn't help but ask this question when chatting with Zhang Yunji after he returned.
Zhang Yunji replied: "It's all good. Of course, it is incomparable with Youzhou. Because in other states and counties, there are people who seem to resist Youzhou's things, including Youzhou's experience in growing crops... "
"So, although they don't reject planting sweet potatoes, potatoes, and Chinese cabbage, their planting experience is all based on their own exploration, and the natural harvest is lower than ours."
But for those three crops, even if the harvest is low, compared with other crops, it is not much lower!
After hearing this, Qin Yang frowned and said, "Since the harvest is not bad, why do the people in other states and counties in the Northland seem to be in a lot of trouble?"
"You forgot, we in Youzhou have been exempted from taxes for three years! Even if you don't say that various factories can work, the tax exemption is enough for ordinary poor people to recuperate and become rich through hard work in three years! "
Taxes for three years have been exempted, which can save a lot of money!
Due to the rapid development of Youzhou, it is estimated that there are countless people in the imperial court who will be beating their feet and beating their chests for the tax exemption of Youzhou, regretting it endlessly!
After all, no one else objected to this decree, not only because the king of Youzhou did have meritorious service, it was inappropriate not to reward him, but also because at that time Youzhou was regarded as a land of poverty and wildness in the eyes of outsiders!
Originally, the taxes collected from Youzhou were not that much. Even if they were exempted from taxes for three years, it was nothing in the eyes of those people.
But now, there should be many people regretting it.
After all, with Youzhou's economic development, the wealth is not as rich as those states and counties that have been rich for many years, but it has directly left behind the states and counties in Beidi!
It’s no wonder that people from other prefectures and counties in the North have to travel long distances to attend the big fair here in Youzhou!
You know, outside of Youzhou, there are a lot of cattle and sheep in this area of the Northland, but even so, a dairy goat will basically sell for about one or two half, which is almost a third more expensive!
As for various dairy products, the prices vary greatly!
If you travel for a few days, you can buy a few milk sheep and go back to sell a basket of dairy products. The difference in price is enough for these people to have a very prosperous New Year.
After thinking about this, Qin Yang couldn't help but sigh.
It's a pity that he is only the lord of Youzhou, not the lords of other states and counties in the Northland. Even if he sympathizes with these people, he can only sigh.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to feel sorry for them. People who can travel long distances to purchase things and earn the difference are basically people with flexible minds and good lives."
Zhang Yunji didn't know why the king was sad, but he still persuaded him gently.
Qin Yang said, "That's true."
So sometimes he also wonders, is it too cold a decision to take the initiative to lead the King of Tubo to attack Youzhou at this time?
Cheng Yaojin came over to have dinner in the evening, and he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he heard King Youzhou's emotion.
"You, why bother thinking about this? The decision has already been made. What we can do is to minimize the damage caused to Youzhou by the war! Furthermore, if Tubo has no wolfish ambitions, how can we be fooled by a little provocation? What? What you did was nothing more than deliberately making them think that the military strength of Youzhou was still the same as before when the king of Tubo sent people over. They have such wolfish ambitions, so after learning such information, they want to swallow Youzhou before it takes off completely!"
"So, it's not your fault, it's the Tubo king's fault."
It has to be said that Cheng Yaojin looks thick and big, but in fact, he is a very good talker.
Qin Yang was only emotional for a while, but he never regretted this decision. After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, he even responded with a smile: "The old general is right."
"correct……"
Just when Qin Yang was about to say something, a long-lost voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Ding!
[Detected that the host is facing a choice:]
[Option 10: Recruit troops and increase the number of Youzhou troops to 10 before next May.Reward: [-] taels of gold. 】
[Option [-]: Strengthen the equipment, and arm the Youzhou army to the teeth before May next year.Reward, a set of blueprints for new equipment. 】
Does this still require a choice?
Listening to the voice in his head, Qin Yang looked at the system panel in front of him, and felt that the choice this time couldn't be easier to choose!
He is now the King of Youzhou. As the King of Youzhou, recruiting troops is a big taboo!
And it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the Tibetans!
This movement is really big. There is no way to hide the news about conscription.
If you choose to enhance the equipment, then you can manufacture it secretly. When the battle is about to start, you can distribute the equipment one day in advance, no problem at all!
Qin Yang immediately answered the system in his heart: "I choose two!"
Then, a set of drawings about new equipment appeared in Qin Yang's mind.
He scanned it quickly, satisfied.
This new set of equipment can be regarded as a combination of old and new.
New places, in helmets, combat uniforms and combat boots!
But the thin and light rattan armor on the outside is old-fashioned. However, another reform has been carried out on the old rattan armor to make it lighter, and it has also made great progress in terms of fire prevention.
In the past, this rattan armor was indeed light and effective in defense, but it was very afraid of fire.
The set of blueprints he obtained now has greatly reduced the flammability of rattan armor.
