Under the overall situation, who was planning to the Immortal Dynasty of the Great Jin Dynasty and the Ten Islands of the East China Sea for the time being has nothing to do with Liang Zhaohuang and the Liang family.

It was just a pity that he failed to take down the monks from the Six Seven Islands, otherwise he might have made more discoveries.

He cleaned up the battlefield with his second sister Liang Zhaoyu and continued to go to Ludong County.

This place was originally at the junction of counties and counties. It didn't take long before the two returned to Ludong County.

After entering the county town and returning to the county government office, Liang Zhaohuang recruited the wealthy families of each county to the county government office.

In the past, the county magistrate Xie Wenyun summoned the wealthy families of various counties, but Liang Zhaohuang had no choice but to obey the imperial edicts before.

Now, as the magistrate of Ludong County, he was able to issue an edict to summon several other county wealthy families to come and obey the orders.

It didn't take long for the heads of wealthy families from various counties to come to the county government.

Liang Zhaohuang met them in the county yamen hall. This time, he sat in the head of the upper seat.

The "golden book" brought back from the county magistrate's office was taken out and handed over to the heads of wealthy families in several counties to read.

After watching the few people, their faces changed, but no one spoke for a while.

Seeing this, Liang Zhaohuang couldn't help but curse: "It's all old foxes."

"Dear heads." Finally, Liang Zhaohuang raised the topic and said: "The county passed down the golden book and required our county to increase its taxes this year by 10%.

"Do you have any comments?"

Several wealthy families of county families looked at each other, and in the end, Zhang Junxiang, the Zhang family, stepped forward and bowed slightly, and said, "I don't know the county magistrate, what are you going to do?"

When Liang Zhaohuang heard this, he shook his head slightly and sighed: "Oh... I went to the county to pay a visit to the county magistrate this time. I originally wanted to ask the county to reduce the taxes. But I didn't expect that the state issued this tax-increasing gold book, and the county magistrate Nie just wanted to reduce taxes to us."

He said, turning back to the topic: "Everyone of the family leaders knows that the East China Sea pirates are not yet calm, and the townships in the county are in a state of difficulty, and the harvest is decreasing year by year. Even poor families cannot stick to it and want to give up the township and become a casual cultivator."

"If the tax is increased now, the situation may be even worse."

"So, I want to? This is a new 10% tax? Why not just reduce the 10% tax from the tax shared by the county?"

Hearing Liang Zhaohuang's words, the heads of wealthy families in various counties looked at each other? No one spoke for a while.

Seeing this, Liang Zhaohuang said: "If no one objected, then click here..."

"Let's go!" Seeing that Liang Zhaohuang was about to decide on this matter? Finally someone stood up, it was Ye Junzhi, the head of the Ye family.

When Liang Zhaohuang heard this, he looked at the other party and said, "What? County Magistrate Ye has any objections?"

"Mr. County Magistrate." County Magistrate Ye Junzhi bowed to Liang Zhaohuang at this time? Then he said: "The East China Sea pirates are in trouble. Although it is difficult for those poor families in the townships, it is not easy for us."

"Everyone knows that our Ye family has gained a foothold in the sales of talismans and talisman paper."

"And now? The East Sea pirates are entrenched at the junction of counties and counties? They often intercept caravans and block trade routes."

"The talisman and talisman business of our Ye family have been greatly affected, and the profits in recent years have also become worse every year."

Ye Junzhi looked helpless and cried and said, "Now many children in the family can hardly get the daily practice resources? They just rely on the tax shared every year to maintain the family's survival. If it is reduced by 10%, our Ye family will not agree."

As he said that, Ye Junzhi looked at several other county tycoons in a blink of an eye and said, "Horse Zhang, your family also relies on the elixir business; Head of the Lu family? Your Lu family relies on the water transportation business; Head of the Shi family? Your Shi family also relies on the spiritual sand business... They should have been greatly affected, right?"

Hearing Ye Junzhi's name? Zhang Junxiang, Lu Shiming, and Shi Shaofeng were not good at continuing to watch the show, so they stood up and bowed to Liang Zhaohuang, saying, "Mr. County Magistrate, this county has taxes every year, and the wealthy families in each county enjoy 50% of them. This is a customary rule that has always been agreed upon. It is easy to change, but it will be difficult to change it in the future."

"This rule cannot be broken easily."

"This example cannot be opened!"

Finally, even Wang Chengen, the Wang family of the "Fire Crow", stood up and said, "The tax benefits that my Wang family should enjoy must not be missing!"

Seeing everyone's objection, Liang Zhaohuang was not angry, but nodded and said, "Okay, since all the heads of the family are opposed, then share the newly added 10% of the tax according to the county's wishes."

"Hmm?" "Huh?"

Hearing Liang Zhaohuang's words, the heads of the family present looked at each other for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Liang Zhaohuang clearly wanted to share the new 10% of the tax, but he did not say it clearly. Instead, he took retreat as advance and pulled all the wealthy families in several counties on board.

In this way, if the tax is distributed, even if the poor families in the townships and counties have complaints, they will not fall on him alone.

Even if it is difficult for several county wealthy families to secretly make trouble and slander Liang Zhaohuang, it is difficult to create rumors.

Otherwise, as long as Liang Zhaohuang spreads the content of today's negotiations, all the complaints will fall on several heads of the family. Instead, Liang Zhaohuang will be supported by more people because of his initial opinions.

"Little Fox!"

Several heads of the family couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

Liang Zhaohuang naturally was unwilling to reduce the taxes shared in the county. Compared with the wealthy families in other counties, the Liang family has a weaker foundation and needs the taxes shared every year. If it is reduced by 10%, it will only make the Liang family more difficult.

His class did not have the awareness of "sacrificing the small family for everyone".

"Since the tax increase has been confirmed. So let's talk about the issue of the East Sea Pirates."

Liang Zhaohuang didn't give the few heads of the family to think more, and then changed the subject and talked about the East Sea Pirates.

"Several heads of the family said just now that the East China Sea pirates occupied the junction of counties, attacked caravans, blocked trade routes, and even began to affect the livelihoods of various families."

"This time, when I returned from the county, I ran into a group of pirates attacking the caravan at the junction of the county and the county."

"The East Sea pirates were extremely cruel, and the entire caravan was attacked and no one survived!"

Liang Zhaohuang said, sighing and shook his head.

"It's not a solution to continue like this."

He looked at Shi Shaofeng, Zhang Junxiang and the others and said, "Zhang County Wei, Shi Bingcao, the East Sea pirates in the county have been wiped out. Can the two of them draw out their troops and clear out the East Sea pirates entrenched at the junction of the surrounding counties?"

Zhang Junxiang and Shi Shaofeng looked at each other, and finally stepped out together and bowed to Liang Zhaohuang: "My magistrate, please try it out."

Liang Zhaohuang nodded slightly and said, "If you can suppress it, you can suppress it. If you can't, don't act rashly. Now everything is mainly about ensuring stability in the county and ensuring the next tax work."

"Sir, Lord!"

The two bowed to take the order and then stepped back.
