Chapter 272: There are many heroes who know current affairs

"With so many people participating, their courage is truly great!"

Taking the list and looking at the names that almost covered all the major families in Qingzhou, Zhang Jie clicked his tongue in wonder.

It seems that policies like "gentry and commoners serve and pay taxes together" and "spreading the poll tax into the land" hit their vital point,

forcing them to have to let go and take a risk.

"Young Master, I will send people to take them all down!"

Wu Song said murderously.

As Zhang Jie's personal guard military officer, he hated these rebellious people the most.

'It's done!'

Gao Jieye, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a joy in his heart.

Unlike other gentry who were full of confidence in the Great Liao,

he, who had personally been to the Great Liao, knew about the corruption of the Great Liao over these years.

With the strength of the Great Liao at this time, I'm afraid they are definitely not the opponents of Liang Shan, who is in its prime.

Even if Liang Shan has risen for a short time, with few troops and even fewer cavalry,

in terms of mobility, they are not the opponents of the Great Liao, which is almost entirely cavalry,

but with Liang Shan's elite soldiers and powerful weapons, defending the city is no problem.

And as long as they hold on, there will be a way.

Once there is enough time, the offensive and defensive situation between the two sides will be reversed.

That is to say, Zhang Jie, this Benevolent King, becoming the master of the Central Plains is a matter of ten to nine.

At that time, he was thinking about how to hug this thigh, which is already very thick now,

and will only be thicker in the future, to mix a minister of the dragon, and let his Gao family go up another level.

And the dissatisfaction of the gentry toward Zhang Jie during this period of time made him see the opportunity to hand in the "name card."

'Sorry, brothers.

For the sake of a better future for my Gao family, I can only sacrifice you.'

Gao Jieye silently apologized to the other gentry who were about to become stepping stones for his Gao family.

'After my Gao family rises, I will burn a few more sticks of incense for you during festivals,

and burn more paper money, so that you can live the same luxurious life underground as you did in the present world.'

Gao Jieye secretly made a guarantee in his heart.

"Interesting, truly too interesting."

Holding the list in his hand, Zhang Jie suddenly smiled and shouted toward the inner courtyard blocked by the screen:

"You all come out."

'Who is the Benevolent King calling?'

Zhang Jie's move of neither being furious and letting his subordinates catch people, nor pressing the matter and pretending not to see it,

but instead shouting behind the screen, made Gao Jieye confused.

Then, he saw two familiar figures walking out from behind the screen.

"You, you!"

Gao Jieye pointed at the two acquaintances who had talked happily at the previous "Anti-Zhang Alliance"

and contributed one strategy after another, and for a time couldn't speak.

"Brother Gao, long time no see."

Chen gentry and Hong gentry, who were recognized by Gao Jieye, smiled awkwardly.

'These two guys!'

Gao Jieye knew that these two guys had the same plan as him.

'Forget it, having a few more of these guys doesn't seem bad,

at least I'm not afraid of being killed and silenced by the Benevolent King after the matter.'

Gao Jieye suddenly discovered that having a few more heroes who know current affairs was not a bad thing.

There were so many of them coming to inform, Zhang Jie couldn't kill them all, right?

'There are quite a few heroes who know current affairs in this world!'

Looking at the three gentry who came to inform one after another, Zhang Jie sighed in his heart.

At the same time, his heart also raised vigilance against these gentry.

These guys, upon realizing that it was difficult to defeat him, could immediately switch positions so smoothly,

their posture was truly too soft, and he had to be on guard!

After all, they could softly defect to him today,

and they could also softly defect to his enemies tomorrow.

However, despite the vigilance in his heart, Zhang Jie didn't reach the point of not being able to sleep.

After all, as long as his strength is the strongest, gentry like Gao Jieye are his most loyal dogs.

And in terms of strength, in the Water Margin world, who can surpass him, who has the Shared Space

and countless Zhang Jies of the Myriad Realms as his backing?

"Your Highness, this, this, these are the ones most willing to donate money and effort."

The three gentry, who didn't know that Zhang Jie had already secretly raised vigilance against them in his heart,

worked together to mark out the few families that shouted the loudest.

Next, they all looked at Zhang Jie with eager eyes, hoping that he would immediately send people to take down these "traitors,"

so they could hand in their "name card" and officially join Zhang Jie's command, becoming a promising minister of the dragon.

This "dragon" also has distinctions; the earlier one follows the dragon, the higher the return is obviously.

In the eager eyes of several people, Zhang Jie waved his hand calmly:

"No rush, no rush.

You not only cannot expose them now, but you must join them and help them."

"Ah?"

The three gentry were confused for a moment.

Shouldn't they kill the chicken to warn the monkey first?

Facing the confused people, Zhang Jie asked meaningfully:

"How big is the territory of the Great Liao?"

Gao Jieye, who was the most knowledgeable, thought for a moment and got the answer:

"In terms of vast territory, the Great Liao far surpasses Western Xia and the Great Song."

Then he got an incredible conclusion:

"Your Highness, do you want to attack the Great Liao together?"

"Go down and prepare."

Zhang Jie didn't say directly; these people were not core members yet and couldn't let them know too much.

In fact, in order to annihilate the Great Liao in the shortest time, he had already had some plans,

intending to learn from Wanyan Aguda and have a Battle of Hubudagang to destroy the elite of the Liao army in one battle.

Chai Jin's activities on the Song-Liao border during this period were in preparation for this plan.

As a result, he didn't expect someone to come and do it with their own dry food so quickly; he had to push the boat along the current well.

"Understand, we understand, we will go and prepare, we will retire."

Gao Jieye and the three, who only felt that Zhang Jie was as unfathomable as the starry sea,

could only retire with their tongues tied, and never dared to have a trace of rebellion in their hearts again.

"My Lord, then should this tax still be collected?"

After sending off the few gentry, Wang Lun asked.

Zhang Jie waved his hand and gave a positive answer: "Collect, of course, collect.

And collect it to the maximum extent; without giving them enough pressure,

how will they try their best to hook up with Emperor Tianzuo?"

Immediately after, Zhang Jie sighed: "If we don't collect taxes again,

our Liang Shan is afraid it will face the crisis of fiscal exhaustion again."

It is said that when the cannon fires, gold is ten thousand taels.

During these days, the Liang Shan army has been sweeping through the city and land,

replaced by the speed of spending money like flowing water.

Firearms, armor, explosives, bullets, cannons, recruiting soldiers,

issuing military pay, which one doesn't need bright copper coins?

Even with the gold-sucking sharp weapon of glass mirrors, plus quite a lot of loot,

Liang Shan's fiscal situation was still declining at a speed that made people's hearts jump.

He didn't want the Great Song to be taken down yet, and their Liang Shan to go bankrupt financially.

Since the establishment of the Great Song, the land of these gentry has not been scraped for over a hundred years; he must scrape it even harder. ===== CHAPTER 273 =====
