It's just that it's not easy to have a calm lunch.

"Master, there are a lot of people outside."

I had already heard the sound of footsteps, but Cong Ye didn't probe Miao Li's words, so he got up and came to the door of the room, one, which made Cong Ye couldn't help but be surprised.

The courtyard of the inn was full of black people, most of them old people, and many women in ragged clothes.

Not only in the courtyard of the inn, the kneeling crowd had lined up on the street outside the inn, but there were also people who came one after another, kneeling down next to each other, but no one made the slightest noise.

"Husband, what are they?"

yes, what are they going to do?

Just when Cong Ye and the others were puzzled, one of the few old people who came to the inn first and knelt at the front suddenly raised his voice and said to Cong Ye who was standing at the door of the room:

"Young man, please save this poor people in the city."

Cong Ye hurriedly stepped forward, helped up the older people in the front row, and asked:

"What do you mean by that, old man?"

"Alas, the young man doesn't know anything."

Next, the people talked about it, and then they knew what they meant.

It turns out that the reason why the embroidery city is called such a strange name is because this castle has always been responsible for making zuò clothes for the palace. Originally, it was not called this name, because every household was busy embroidering and sewing clothes, and people forgot the original name of the city and replaced it with "embroidery".

It can be said that in the past, the embroidery castle was quite a rich castle. The women were busy with needlework at home, while the men were engaged in business or other handicrafts to support the housework. Coupled with the fact that it has always been exempted from labor by the imperial court, the prosperity of the natural embroidery city is difficult to match in other cities.

However, as the war dragged on, the heavy knitting did not stop talking, but changed from the original paid to the current unpaid. In particular, the embroidery city was no longer exempt from servitude, and almost all the men were transferred to the battlefield. As a result, the residents of the embroidery city, who had no source of family income, quickly fell into abject poverty, and it was difficult to sustain food and clothing.

That's not all, just half a month before Cong Ye and them entered the city, the imperial court suddenly ordered that a tax of one or two silver per person be levied according to the head.

This is almost to force the people in Embroidery City to their deaths.

The time limit given by the imperial court is twenty days, and now it has been five days, and the county government has not yet collected a tael of silver, and the five people Cong Ye met after entering the city are the officials sent by the county guard to assist the county government in collecting taxes.

The residents of Embroidery City, who were desperate, suddenly Ye not only beat the official sent by the nameless county guard, but also the official in the county office, they all thought that they had come to the savior, so they spontaneously gathered in the inn and begged Cong Ye to help them get through the difficulties in front of them.

What can Cong Ye do, is it difficult to pay taxes for them?

Not to mention that it is impossible for Cong Ye and his party to go out and bring so much money, even if they do, they can't do that.

Embroidery City is just an example, after nearly ten years of war, I am afraid that the tungsten country has already reached the point of running out of oil and lamps. The men went to war, and the fields were naturally deserted. It is already very difficult to barely make ends meet by relying only on women and some old, weak, sick and disabled people, where is there spare money to pay more taxes?

The officials forced the people to rebel, and just when these four words suddenly popped out of Cong Ye's mind, the old man in front of him said:

"Shaoxia, we old people don't have a few days to live, it doesn't matter if we live or die. The key is to leave a way for young children and their own mothers to live. So I implore Shaoxia to take everyone to the county government to intercede and exempt each person from the tax of one tael. Even if you sell your sons and daughters, you can't make it up. ”

Yes, they are all poor like this, who else can spend money to buy children?

This situation is completely different from natural disaster years, no matter how severe the natural disaster, there will always be some wealthy people who usually have savings to get through it, so those people become potential buyers. Today, except for a few officials in the government, almost no one has survived the nearly ten years of war.

At this point, Cong Ye finally understood the meaning of the people in front of him, it was nothing more than to let himself lead the rebellion.

Just imagine, can the county magistrate listen to the intercession of a strange teenager? That was not a policy set by the county magistrate, it was an order from the imperial court. How can a small county magistrate be swayed? Unless the county magistrate also wants to rebel.

"Husband?"

"Lord Wang?"

"Sir?"

It can be heard that in the tone of Princess Caiyun's seven daughters, there are both worries and expectations. I hope that Congye can help the people in front of me, but I am also worried that it will bring danger to Congye.

The crowd of people kneeling on the ground in front of the bush leaves hesitated slightly, but finally nodded in agreement.

It is not necessary to lead everyone to rebel, Cong Ye still has a certain luck mentality, maybe the county master is also a good official who worries about the country and the people, even if he can't exempt each person from the tax of one or two silver, there is still a possibility of a few more days.

After all, he has only been the king of freedom for more than 30 years, and for some common sense of officialdom, Cong Ye is not even as good as Princess Caiyun and the four maids of Meilan Zhuju.

When he led the way to the county yamen, it was just in time for the county lord to lead all the yamen, as well as the standing army of only eighty people to the inn to lock up the anti-thief Congye.

The unexpected encounter suddenly made the street in front of the county yamen tense.

On one side, there are the old, weak, sick and disabled in the ragged embroidered city headed by the young Cong Ye; On one side were eighty standing garrisons defending the city, and a dozen or so unwounded servants.

"Master, it is the young thief who is walking in front."

Although there are many more people on Cong Ye's side, they are all unarmed, old, weak, sick and disabled, and 90% of them are women. Where there is a little combat effectiveness.

I had to, Cong Ye took a few steps forward, and bowed to a man in official uniform who was fifty years old and said:

"But the county lord is in person?"

"Yes, it's this county. Do you want to gather a crowd to rebel? ”

Cong Ye hasn't explained his intentions yet, and the county master has almost convicted him.

"Cong Ye didn't want to gather people to rebel, he just wanted to ask the county magistrate for a few days, so that the people in the embroidery city would have more time to raise the tax silver of one tael per person."

Cong Ye didn't even mention whether it could be reduced or not, and it was already an unexpected gain to be able to grace for a while.
