I'm a marquis in Datang

Because the results of the search were astonishing, there were thirteen stores owned by the Jiang family in Jiuquan County alone.The grain hoarded in the warehouse of the Jiang family is as much as 50 shi.As for the Jiang family's money, at least 200 million guan was found.

In addition, there are many jade and treasures, as well as more than [-] mu of fertile land in Jiuquan County.

You must know that there are not many good fields in Jiuquan County, and many lands are bad. Although they can be planted, the harvests are not good, but the Jiang family has [-] mu of good land, and there are countless ordinary fields, as well as many other properties, title deed etc.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Zhengdao is very rich.

With Jiang Zhengdao's strength, being entrenched in Jiuquan County is equivalent to being a local emperor.The only thing Jiang Zhengdao was wrong about was that he miscalculated his own strength and thought that he could control Jiuquan County.

Little did they know that Du Qi's arrival broke the peaceful scene and everything changed.After Du Qi finished reading everything, he nodded and said, "All the money and land of the Jiang family will be put into the county government's warehouse. All the food will be put into the barracks."

"Yes!"

Ye Daosheng replied again.

After a pause, Ye Daosheng said again: "Your Highness, there is another matter. When Jiang Zhengdao was there, he charged protection fees for the Du family's shop, which is the so-called tax."

"Even the tax is collected from shops in the entire Jiuquan County. Although it does not reach [-]%, at least [-]% of the net profit goes up."

"This arrangement is considered extremely inappropriate by the lower officials. What the humble official considers is to abolish this fee and collect it according to the normal court tax."

"Jiang Zhengdao is dead, Jiuquan County should set things right and correct all the bad aspects."

Ye Daosheng proposed his own arrangement.

Du Qi looked at Ye Daosheng in surprise.

Ye Daosheng has some knowledge.

There is also some foresight.

Du Qi nodded and said: "You have to make an adjustment to the taxation of merchants and the taxation of the common people. Jiuquan County should set things right, so just do it."

"If you have any questions, please go to me directly."

"If you encounter problems that you can't solve, you can also go to this king directly. In short, whatever ability you have, just use it. As long as you have enough ability, you don't have to worry about your chances of promotion."

Du Qi said: "This is my promise to you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

When Ye Daosheng heard this, he became excited, and assured him: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely handle everything well, and promise to fulfill His Highness's entrustment. I will certainly change the previous decadent state of Jiuquan County."

Du Qi said: "I will wait and see."

He knew what Ye Daosheng wanted.

Ye Daosheng was born in a merchant family with money but no power.What Ye Daosheng wanted was for everyone's admiration and power, and for Du Qi to give him enough promises so that Ye Daosheng could go all out to do things.

Du Qi said in a deep voice, "Go down."

"Yes!"

Ye Daosheng responded, turned and left.

After Ye Daosheng left, Liu Zhengxi went into the study and took a seat, and said, "Your Highness, Ye Daosheng is a man who can bend and stretch, and is extremely eager for power. Whether such a person is reliable or not, we should be more cautious."

Du Qi said: "As long as Ye Daosheng has the ability, the king doesn't mind giving him a lot of attention. As for power, since Ye Daosheng is the county magistrate, he needs enough time to display his ability."

"If he has the talent of being an assassin, I don't mind using him for promotion so that he can show his strengths. As for him being able to bend and stretch, that's fine. If even a little Ye Daosheng can't be intimidated, how can he gain a foothold in the Western Regions?" .”

"What we are going to do in the Western Regions is just starting now, and there is still a long way to go."

Du Qi's expression was extremely confident.

He now has enough strength and enough confidence to overwhelm the people below.

Liu Zhengxi said: "I understand."

Du Qidao: "The key now lies in the development of the army. We must develop our strength as soon as possible and increase our own strength. With enough strength, we can go west."

After a pause, Du Qi continued: "The most important thing is that our base camp cannot be limited to Jiuquan County. This Jiuquan County is the territory of Datang, and it is the territory of Datang. Our base camp should be set up in the west of Shazhou. That’s where we really stand.”

Liu Zhengxi said: "I understand."

At this moment, Liu Zhengxi understood Du Qi's intentions in his heart, and understood Du Qi's ambitions better.Obviously, Du Qi's heart is to establish real power in the Western Regions, and even to truly build a country.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhengxi's heart became even hotter, because this was the room for him to display his talents.

Liu Zhengxi left in a hurry.

Du Qi took it easy for a while, but although Du Qi said he had nothing to do, in fact he had too much to arrange.Du Qi is in the Western Regions, he has his own time and opportunity to build his own kingdom.

Du Qi thought about the direction of development.

He needs a plan in a general direction, and this development is not an ordinary hegemony.Du Qi hoped that the

Even if the country is not in the Central Plains, it must have sufficient strength.

The national capital that Du Qi wants to build not only needs to lead in an all-round way economically, but also needs to lead in the development of science, education, culture, and health in all aspects, and all of them must be developed.

This is Du Qi's ambition.

It is also his pursuit.

Of course, these pursuits of Du Qi cannot be completed overnight, and it will take enough time.Du Qi came from time travel. He has enough patience and confidence to go step by step and realize his vision.

Chapter 597

Make a decision

Entering Longyou Road in October, the weather is getting colder and colder.

In some places it even started to snow.

Near the county seat of Jiuquan County, although it hasn't snowed yet, the weather is getting colder every day.Over the past month or so, the politics and economy of Jiuquan County have undergone earth-shaking changes, which can be described as a harmonious government.The government issued a number of decrees to benefit the people and business, so that all unreasonable situations were adjusted out of order.

Du Qi saw these things in his eyes and was quite satisfied. Ye Daosheng is a good person.

Quite capable.

On this day, in the study.

There is already charcoal burning in Du Qi's study to dispel the chill.

While Du Qi was reading, Liu Zhengxi opened the door and entered.Liu Zhengxi bowed to Du Qi and reported: "Your Highness, the construction team currently in Chang'an has arrived in Jiuquan County."

"The leader is Xia Lie."
