System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Just think of it as giving Xun You a little more sense of security.

"Tell me, where should I be monitored?"

"I was doing that to protect you!"

"I need your protection. I also know Kung Fu!"

"With your little fur, you can't even beat me with one hand."

The two of them left the study while arguing.

"These two..."

Dong Yu shook his head helplessly.

Although Xun You looks simple and honest, he is actually very active.

In fact, it is difficult to tell how powerful many strategists were at the end of the Han Dynasty just by looking at their appearance.

For example, Jia Xu, who looks chubby and harmless.

Guo Jia is like a playboy.

There are also Zhuge Liang and Cheng Yu, who are over 1.8 meters tall and almost 1.9 meters tall.

"It has to be Jizhou."

Dong Yu leaned back in his chair and looked at Jizhou's tax revenue.

The taxation system of the Han Dynasty was quite complicated, with more than twenty types of taxes added up.

However, most people are only subject to land tax and head tax. For other taxes such as salt tax, iron tax, sea rent, market rent, and false taxes, many people will never come into contact with them in their lifetime.

"Over 70 million yuan in cash and a million dan of grain of all kinds."

“This is just what we collected…”

Dong Yu was amazed that Jizhou collected so much tax revenue from just a few counties.

This tax made Dong Yu somewhat amazed, and at the same time he began to envy the other noble families.

They annexed so much land and hid so many hidden households.

How much money do they have?

You need to call a professional to be your consultant.

[Note: I don't know how to calculate it specifically, and I don't understand it. There are also not many documents recording the annual output and tax revenue at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Based on the collection of goods from Hebei, which the county officials sold, totaling over 300 million coins to fill the imperial palace and reduce the rent and taxes of the country by half, we can roughly conclude that the half tax of the country at that time was 6 billion coins, not including taxes and internal money.]

Since joining Dong Yu, Zhang Yan's life has indeed been pretty good.

He had almost never seen a boss like Dong Yu. After he led his troops to surrender, he actually allowed him to retain half of his troops.

Of course, no matter how much Dong Yu trusted his subordinates, he could not let Zhang Yan lead the entire Black Mountain Army.

In other words, no prince could do this.

Now the Black Mountain Army led by Zhang Yan has only 10,000 soldiers, and the remaining 10,000 elite soldiers have been reorganized into other armies to fill the vacancies.

These are the elite of the Montenegrin Army. The rest are of poor quality, numbering about 30,000 young and strong men. After being disbanded and reorganized, they will undergo a series of training in an effort to turn them into elites as quickly as possible.

"Lord."

Zhang Yan bowed and greeted Dong Yu.

For so long, Zhang Yan has rarely been summoned.

This sudden summons made him a little nervous.

Could it be that Dong Yu has recovered and is preparing to operate on him?

"Do not be nervous."

"If I wanted to kill you, why would I summon you with such fanfare?"

Dong Yu smiled and said something soothing with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hehehe, my lord has a broad mind and is tolerant of others."

Zhang Yan laughed dryly twice and flattered him with a smile.

"Last time you led your army to attack Zhao State, Julu and other counties, you should have gained something, right?"

Dong Yu put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at the other party.

"My lord, half of all the looted property and food was distributed among the brothers."

"You know, we were bandits back then. Although I was the leader, I also had dozens of smaller leaders under me."

"They won't work without benefits."

"I've already handed over the rest to the treasury. Didn't Xun Gongda tell you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan immediately became nervous and explained where the money went.

"That's not what I asked."

"I want to ask, how many hidden households are these noble families hiding?"

Dong Yu lowered his voice and spoke seriously.

hiss!

Hearing this question, Zhang Yan couldn't help but take a breath.

He walked quickly to the door, looked around, and found that there was no one else except Dian Wei, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
