Now, thanks to the meticulous research and cultivation efforts of Cao Song and others, increased grain production has been achieved, and everything else will naturally follow.

Upon returning to the Research and Manufacturing Division, Mo Shang immediately led the division's key personnel to the Engineering College to begin research on roller bearings and the steel-filling method.

Meanwhile, with the start of the autumn harvest, officials at all levels in the Sili region also began to get busy. Officials in the government offices went to the fields to start counting the planting area and the amount of pre-harvest, in order to prepare for the tax collection in the coming year.

The Censorate, jointly established by the Sili Office, the Court of Justice, and the Commandant of the Central Army, also dispatched inspecting censors to various prefectures and counties to supervise tax collection.

Bingzhou Camp.

In the central command tent, all the generals were gathered.

Zhang Huan, seated at the head of the table, looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "The wheat is now ripe, and the autumn harvest has begun. This year's tax collection work in Bingzhou will still be handled by our Bingzhou army. After you all return, you need to make arrangements immediately..."

"promise!!"

Zhang Huan then looked at his generals with a serious expression: "His Majesty has decreed that this year's taxes shall be collected only in kind, and only half the amount of grain per mu of land shall be collected. No other taxes shall be collected. Anyone who disobeys this order shall be punished according to military law!"

"This humble general will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

The soldiers also looked serious and respectfully obeyed the order.

Seeing this, Zhang Huan nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, go and get ready!"

"This humble general takes his leave!!"

Soon, the entire Bingzhou camp became lively. A group of officers and soldiers led their soldiers away from the Bingzhou camp, forming groups of one hundred men and dispersing to various counties in Bingzhou.

At the front of each team, in addition to an officer, there was also a student dressed in a long robe.

These students were political instructors sent by the Military and Political Affairs Department who had just arrived in Bingzhou.
