In the middle of the night, when everything was silent, it was the most difficult time of the day, but Jin Dacheng and his entourage, who were staying at the villagers' homes, quietly gathered together to discuss.

"The villagers here only need to pay 50% of the tax? Are you sure? Kim Dae-sung couldn't believe it and cautiously inquired again.

"It was the old farmer in the village who said it, is this still false?" The guards in charge of inquiring about the news also found it a little incredible. Around the capital, you have to pay sixty percent! Could it be that the king of Huainan is so generous? However, the lives of the villagers are not very rich!

"I heard from the villagers that officials often come down here to inspect, and they are conscripted twice a year, which adds up to almost two months. Those who don't want to go need to pay for the service. Another added.

"Isn't it stipulated in the imperial court that you should only serve once a year and not more than one month?" Everyone was confused. How did it change so much as soon as I arrived in Huainan.

"Who knows, it is said that the imperial court has requirements, and it is to build river embankments and pave roads, and to widen and thicken the city walls, and sometimes to help the big families in the city to build houses."

"Also, no one in the village has gone north for a long time. There is a girl who married into Qinghe Town, which is the town we passed through the day before yesterday, and the old couple wanted to bring some things for their daughter to visit their grandson by the way, but they couldn't find a car or caravan to go out. They also begged that if we passed by on the way back, they would like to help bring some things over! ”

"Is it because of the bandits?"

"Maybe, I heard that there were a few letters back, but only one was replied from there. It was brought with the help of a fellow villager from Qinghe Town who went to Huainan Fucheng to do business. ”

"Since the bandits have been in trouble for a few years ago, has no one reported it to the government?"

"Reported. The government suppressed it twice, settled down for a while, and it was like this again after a while. Later, the government didn't hurt anyone, and those bandits just wanted money, so they didn't pay much attention to it, and only told the villagers to go less to the mountain. Even in winter, when they are free, they dare not go into the mountains to hunt. ”

Jin Dacheng and the captain of the guard glanced at each other very quickly, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

This gang of bandits has been in the mountains for several years and no one has paid attention to it? Why is the government like this when it persuades the people to spend money to eliminate disasters on the grounds that it has not harmed people's lives, and dissuades the people from going deep into the mountains? You must know that there are a lot of good things in the deep mountains and old forests, such as herbs, wild mushrooms, all kinds of melons, fruits, birds and beasts, all of which are windfalls for the people! In the woods near Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing, there are occasional villagers who go up to the mountain to touch some game, and the head steward of the Huangzhuang is not too harsh to prohibit the villagers from entering the mountain to fight tooth sacrifices. With such a few big mountains, how can the steward and some subordinates take care of it? The villagers are also interested, and when they hit the prey, they will always offer the fur to the head of the village, and then share some meat, and they are all happy. If there are strangers or anything abnormal in the mountains, and the villagers find out, they will also report to the head of the village to remind them, and the head of the village will also reward some cloth, rice, and grain to encourage them. The two sides complement each other, have always gotten along well, and will definitely not act like this, forbidding the people to enter the mountains.

"It's obviously for the sake of the people's safety, but in terms of benefits, it cuts off the people's way to make money." The chief guard pondered for a while and said. No wonder the village is not rich either. He also grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he knows the hardships and difficulties of the people's life, and they all say that they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft water, and if they are backed by the mountains but cannot be used, how unfair it is to the people!

"Also, I see that there are fewer young and strong laborers in the village, why is that?" Kim Dae-sung asked.

"I heard that it was taking advantage of this spare time before the autumn harvest that the government recruited to build a city middle school hall." There were guards who answered.

"Ridiculous! There are special craftsmen in the construction hall! Why should it be counted as a conscription and spread on the heads of the villagers! Kim Dae-sung rebuked. Isn't it safe to build the school? It's in the city again, and it obviously has little to do with the villagers here. It is more reasonable to build a school in the village to recruit villagers to help with labor, and arrange for the children in the village to go to the school to learn and write, so as to reduce the restraints.

Several of the guards did not squeak. Wang Minglei, the chief of the guard, patted him on the shoulder to show reassurance.

Everyone thinks that this is the territory of the Huainan King, and all these practices must be instructed by the Huainan Palace, and they still pity the people here. As everyone knows, what the people think is exactly the opposite of them: the government instructs them to do things, but it is in the name of the emperor! The common people don't know how much they dislike and hate the legendary emperor who is tyrannical, unreasonable, impudent, arrogant, and careless, regardless of the life and death of the people!

The emperor inexplicably carried such a black cauldron, which was really a bit wronged.

However, as the so-called mountain is high and the emperor is far away, her hand cannot be stretched so long for the time being, and she does not have the ability and conditions to personally command and rule the water and soil. Even if there are documents and related policies issued in the court, it is completely the local officials who are in charge of the local officials, quietly revise one or two points, and then enrich their purses and private treasury, as long as they do not force the people to arouse the people's anger too much, by the way, knock and knock the local tyrants, don't bully the people too much, and then control the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongful cases, most of the people will choose to swallow their anger, and the higher authorities will not send people down to investigate. After three years, this burden can be thrown to the next one.

Gao Shenghan really didn't know how unstable the dragon chair under his ass was, and how dark the officials under his subordinates were. However, when she saw the news from the Dark Guard Flying Pigeon, her eyelids, which were originally drowsy and unable to lift up, immediately opened completely, and her scattered consciousness suddenly returned to its place.

"Your Majesty?" Shen Yifei, who was sleeping in a daze, watched her get up and dress, and spoke suspiciously.

"Baby, I'm busy, you go to sleep first." Gao Shenghan kissed him on the cheek soothingly, opened the tent and went out.

Shen Yifei fell asleep, revealing a large piece of white jade skin on his shoulders. The black hair of the crow is spread on the lake blue koi play lotus embroidered pillow, which is very good-looking.

It's not that he disrespects the Son of Heaven, it's really that the old foxes in the Ministry of Rites are too bad, giving him a bunch of documents over the years to record his own thinking, and often instructing himself to serve tea and pour water, grind ink and lay paper, and be a microphone for running errands.

Within a few days, the person also lost weight, and a green shadow appeared under his eyes, although Gao Shenghan said that he was distressed, he didn't say anything, so he had to eat and drink well.

There are many old guys in the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of War is dominated by young and middle-aged people, and Chen Zixiu is not easy, and within two days of entering the door, he fought with someone.

The other party didn't dare to make a ruthless move, but he also beat him to the point that his cheeks were bruised, and there were several fist marks on his body.

The reason is because the man wants to get something in the library, although the approval is down, but it has not been stamped by the peak, and it is still under review, the person is impatient to wait, and he asks him directly, and there have been examples of receiving things first and then making up the approval in the past, and then it is under the command of the general who protects the country, and the person is a little arrogant, but he didn't expect to be rejected by the new weak beauty.

"Damn, don't you just have a good ass!" The man raised an eyebrow.
