Chapter 178: Falsely Relaying an Imperial Edict
“It’s time to reclaim Suyab.”
Shu Yichao stared at the minimap with heated eyes.
On the minimap, the Anxi Protectorate’s territory spanned from Karasahr in the east to the Pamir Mountains in the west, Khotan in the south to Great and Little Patola in the north. That was a lot of land, encompassing almost half of the Western Regions.
But most of these lands were deserts.
The terracotta soldiers had been conquering towns and villages here and there, but these were a drop in the bucket. His tax revenue was still extremely low.
Shu Yichao’s knowledge of taxation was limited to games. To him, taxation was all about adjusting an in-game knob to decide the tax levels.
On top of that, he was also trying to expand his living population right now, so he had to keep taxes as low as possible. After all, high taxes always led to lower reproduction rates in games.
Apportionment? What’s that?
Corvée? Isn’t that for the undead?
