REINCARNATION GODDESS OF MEDICINE
173. New Town
Cuiyun for a moment was silent and suddenly lowered his head then cried without a sound.
"Miss, you have sacrificed many things. How could the person sitting on top be so cruel ?" Quiyun asked with great sadness.
Cuiyun was referring to Emperor Yu Lian who had an extremely cold heart, said the word Yu Lian herself had made Chang Rui aware.
He and Yu Lian were destined to fight each other even if this, he would still have to carry out his duties if there was indeed a Bar People coming to attack.
"There is no point in crying, we cannot change things even if you cry until your tears are dry. The only thing you can do is keep trying. After this, we return then you must train martial arts." Chang Rui.
"I can't protect you two forever, I can't hold on until next week. So, I will teach you as best I can. We live on the border, it's not safe. Can't lose alert. " Continue Chang Rui seriously and worriedly.
It was not that he did not want to live quietly, but there was no other choice. If he agreed to give the tax then the people in Wu City would not be able to eat anything more and there was no cost of any more maintenance that could be done for Wu City.
Chang Rui did not want that to happen. The journey towards Wu City was quite a while before finally arriving at Wu City.
Chang Rui looked surprised as it had turned into a completely new-looking City, so beautiful and majestic.
Each house looks elegant and colorful, the laughter of people is heard and looks more manicured and peaceful.
It's a pity that there's still no high wall here. Even the few soldiers who accompanied her exclaimed in admiration.
"How beautiful is Wu City, not the same as when I came here 3 years ago. " Say one of the soldiers walking beside the carriage.
Then Fu Jin Yang and Jiu Qing walked out to greet him and Chang Rui walked down from the horse carriage.
"What about everything ? Is it going well ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"Smuch smoother than I had thought, by this time the money playing between people had been evenly distributed and the money needed was not even as big as I thought. " Say Jiu Qing enthusiastically.
"That's good ?" Chang Rui asked in surprise.
And both of his subordinates nodded with vigor.
"This time I brought so many soldiers, for a while Sir please don't mind staying in the tent then we will build a place for you. " Chang Rui said to the Soldiers.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer them without objection because they usually sleep in the tent.
But, to Chang Rui, it was a shameful thing. Soldiers are the heart of an Empire, how could it be treated so lowly ?
"Please help me put down everything I've brought. " Chang Rui said.
Then, all of them were brought into the Mayor's residence and Chang Rui opened dozens of crates filled with the Tael.
"Here, I brought nearly 10 Million Taels. You should use it seriously and with a heart. " Continue Chang Rui.
Because some of the money he got was already used by him to buy equipment and weaponry.
"Where did you get this kind of money ? Who did you bring that ?" Ask Jiu Qing.
"I got it as a result of cleaning up the Lan Family, is there something wrong with this thing ?" Chang Rui asked casually.
"The residence of Minister Lan, Lan Yang and his Son, Lan Ming ?!" Jiu Qing asked with a glare and Chang Rui just nodded casually.
"How could you take such a big risk for yourself like that !" Jiu Qing exclaimed with annoyance as well as worry.
"Why can't I take it for myself ?" Chang Rui asked indifferently.
"Okay.... Then who's the kid that followed you ?" Ask Jiu Qing.
"Lan Qing, son of Lan Ming and grandson of Lan Yang. " Chang Rui replied which made Jiu Qing hang.
"Are you crazy ?! What if he betrays you ?" Ask Jiu Qing.
"Why so worried, do you think I'm a fool ? Although I was young, I had a lot of skills and experience. " Chang Rui said as she showed her three ash bracelets and Jiu Qing immediately understood.
"Oh yes, I want you to make a fortress on the front. At first I thought of just making a gate, but since we are at the border then we should at least have a 10-meter high wall and a 15-meter fortress." Chang Rui.
"With yesterday's leftover money and applicable taxes then we've collected 1 million Taels plus yours into 11 Million, it should be enough to build this all up. " Say Jiu Qing while thinking.
"According to my calculations, it should only run out about 3 to 4 million Taels with 500 people working for 6 months, if you calculate more carefully then it might be able to shorten the time. " Chang Rui's Advice.
"Indeed, we should at least hold 5 Million Taels for savings otherwise then if there is an urgent need, it will be difficult for us to fulfill it. " Reply Jiu Qing.
Both of them are equally learned and very understanding with every aspect of this.
"Everyone's income a month is about 50 to 300 taels, if they set taxes it will be difficult for them to survive. How is this ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"According to my observation, if not then we have to provide a relative tax in other words adjusting to income. " Answer Jiu Qing.
"The previous government stipulated half of the income was to pay taxes, if Miss asked them to pay their income 15 to 20 percent then they would be happy. " So Jiu Qing.
Chang Rui thought of this before finally understanding with Jiu Qing's intentions, this matter was indeed good.
"Alright, because it's been determined that way. Then the old Wu City will no longer be the same Wu City. This is a completely new city. " Chang Rui said with determination.
Both compile every expenditure they can spend each month, each counting until their foreheads are full of wrinkles.
Up to 3 hours is still not finished with this problem, it is true in saying that Money is the foundation.
The proof, Chang Rui even worked this hard.
