    "What? The nephew is responsible for taking care of such a huge amount of money?" Xu Kan no longer believed his ears. He leaned forward and stared at Lu Yuanpeng closely, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.  Although there were less than 100 soldiers, Lu Yuanpeng's request for food expenses was large. Each person per day almost covered the monthly expenses for a family of five, but compared with the large sum of money Lu Yuanpeng needed to make up, it was just a drop in the bucket.  Xiao He was also shocked and couldn't help but remind him.  "Young master, did you say that you need to use your family's money to take care of yourself? The hundreds of thousands of dollars every year is not a small amount. You should think carefully about it." Lu Yuanpeng had expected that Xu Kan would have such an expression, and nodded gratefully to Xiao He.  "The Lu family moved to Pei from Shan's father, and the county magistrate took care of him. I, the Lu family, are deeply grateful. To repay the county magistrate's kindness, Peng only did not shy away from the sword and halberd, and wiped out the bandits as soon as possible, with the county's ambition to appease the local area.  A little wealth, the county magistrate doesn't need to worry about it." A little wealth?  Is that hundreds of thousands?  Although Xu Kan was very happy that Lu Yuanpeng repaid his kindness, he was also secretly worried about the Lu family and Lu Yuanpeng.  Judging from the situation of the Lu family in Shantou, although the Lu family's wealth is considerable, it will definitely not be in the millions, and it will probably only be in the hundreds of thousands.  After the misfortune of the single father and the separation of the family, the Lu family's vitality is bound to be severely damaged. According to Lu Yuanpeng's actions, even if Lu Wen's family wealth is taken into account, it will definitely not be able to survive for two years.  ¡° Even if the Lu family is good at business, they can¡¯t fill this hole.  Xu Kan had a complicated look on his face. He stood up from the couch and walked up and down the floor in deep thought, completely ignoring his bare feet.  Lu Wen must know that Lu Yuanpeng is like this. The Lu family father and son are people who know how to repay their kindness. It seems that the Lu family father and son want to devote all their money to help him Xu Kan.  No!  The Lu family must have something up their sleeve.  Xu Kan was pacing and thinking.  "It's just that Qin's laws are very strict, and if Xu Kan is to bend the law for personal gain to help the Lu family, it's not something he can do.  ??Persuading Lu Yuanpeng not to do so many tricks?  Seeing Lu Yuanpeng swearing so firmly, I am afraid that he is determined to do this and will never listen.  But how should I help the Lu family?  Just when Xu Kan was confused about what to do, Lu Yuanpeng said to Xu Kan calmly: "Your Majesty, although the Lu family has little wealth, the expenses are indeed too high. Even if the Lu family spends all their money, they still support it."  But after two years, Peng asked for it" Xu Kan couldn't help but stop.  "It's just that Xu Kan can no longer arouse sexual interest no matter what. This Lu Yuanpeng is indeed conditional.  Thinking about it, Xu Kan also felt that he was being sentimental. Even if the Lu family was grateful to him, how could they go bankrupt to help him.  "Could it be that the Lu family businessmen have not changed their habits and want to gain benefits that they do not see?"  However, when Xu Kan thought about it immediately, he felt relieved.  As long as it does not violate the laws of Qin, if the two Tunjun soldiers can be successfully organized, it will not be a bad idea to let the Lu family get some benefits.  As a chief official, Xiao He knew very well the annual tax amount of Peixian County. If Xu Kan was asked to come up with this money, Xu Kan would not be able to pay enough taxes, which would cost Xu Kan his life.  But to say that Lu Yuanpeng and Lu Wen were willing to spend their family wealth to support these hundreds of county soldiers and sincerely support Xu Kan, even Xiao He would not believe it.  Although Lu Yuanpeng has great ambitions, he is not a fool.  But what exactly is Lu Yuanpeng¡¯s plan?  Xiao He didn't understand for a while.  Hearing that Lu Yuanpeng had the conditions, Xiao He couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he was eager to know what Lu Yuanpeng was planning?  Lu Yuanpeng¡¯s condition was that in view of the huge cost incurred by the Lu family in setting up and raising these two army troops, Xu Kan needed to provide the space for daily breeding of more than 100 strong horses free of charge.  It is okay to provide these horses free of charge to the Liangtun County soldiers to practice riding and shooting, but the cost of feeding these horses is huge, and it is difficult for the Lu family alone to afford it.  Asked Xu Kan for permission to reclaim wasteland and raise horses in his name, Lu Yuanpeng.  He can pay a certain tax on the grain obtained from reclaiming wasteland, and the remaining grain is used to feed horses.  Moreover, Lu Yuanpeng will bear all the expenses required for reclaiming wasteland himself.  Those who are just tenants cultivating the land still need help from the county government to solve the problem.  After Lu Yuanpeng put forward these two conditions, Xu Kan and Xiao He couldn't help but be stunned.  Xu Kan was stunned for a long time and asked hesitantly: "My dear nephew, is this all?" Lu Yuanpeng looked very surprised, "That's it! Does the county magistrate still want to" Xu Kan was so panicked that he waved his hands repeatedly.  , "These are good! These are good!" These two conditions mentioned by Lu Yuanpeng? Not only is it not an exaggeration to say, it is also very simple.  Outside Dongguan, there is a large wasteland ten miles away from the city. Xu Kan, who is eager to form county troops to suppress the bandits, yesterday assigned Xiao He to arrange for manpower to build a military camp there.  The place Lu Yuanpeng wanted to keep horses could be located next to the military camp.  The condition of reclaiming wasteland to grow grain and raise horses made Xu Kan dumbfounded.  Looking at Xiao He who was frowning in thought, Xu Kan couldn't bear it and tried to dissuade Lu Yuanpeng.  "My dear nephew, there is no less than tens of thousands of acres of wasteland next to your military camp. It's okay to give it all to you for reclamation. However, not only will the reclamation of wasteland require a lot of money, but the crop harvest will not be good within a year or two." "It's better."  In this way, hundreds of public lands in Peixian County that have been deserted for many years will be temporarily handed over to the nephew for cultivation. When necessary, the county government will take them back from the nephew. If the nephew feels that the land is insufficient, some wasteland can be reclaimed to supplement it.  My nephew does not have to pay taxes. After all, the income is used for the soldiers of these two villages. "Although it is inconsistent with the Qin law, Xu Kan is using horses to feed the soldiers of the two villages. It is not the case.  What a big deal.  As for the Lu family¡¯s taking the remaining output as their own, in Xu Kan¡¯s opinion, it was appropriate.  What Lu Yuanpeng paid could not be repaid with just a little food.  What Xu Kan never expected was that Lu Yuanpeng resolutely rejected his kindness.  Xu Kan's attitude seemed to have been expected by Lu Yuanpeng. Lu Yuanpeng said sternly: "The county magistrate loves you wrongly, Peng knows it. But the shore of the land is not the royal land. Even if you cultivate the royal land, how can you not pay taxes?" Lu Yuanpeng insisted.  Xu Kan was surprised to pay taxes.  He really didn't expect that there would be people willing to pay taxes.  Lu Yuanpeng glanced at Xiao He, who was also a little surprised, and continued.  "It's just that it is true that the yield of newly reclaimed wasteland will not be high for several years. Peng asked the county for permission. The tax on the wasteland reclaimed by Peng will be halved according to the normal cultivated land. It is best to maintain it for more than five years."  In Xu Kan's opinion, Lu Yuanpeng's last words were the only words he understood Lu Yuanpeng's true intentions.  It takes time for wasteland to transform from raw land to mature land, but it does not take five years. It is okay to reduce the tax by half for the first three years, but if it takes five years, then in addition to paying the tax, the amount of remaining food will be very large.  Xu Kan thought to himself: "As expected, this is the only thing Lu Yuanpeng thinks about himself."
