The next day, Chen Ye took only a few people with him, changed into ordinary people's clothes, and left Hangzhou City.

Riding in a carriage to Anqing County, I saw people and traders coming and going, as well as people busy cultivating in the fields.

"Xianggong, in fact, the common people can eat their stomachs, and it is also good (tǐng). We must not increase any taxes on the common people, we are already rich and powerful. Our tax revenues have reached a very significant number. "After so many events, Zhao Xiao has also grown, and he is no longer just concerned about business matters (qíng).

"Eun, I don't know when we will be able to completely stop collecting taxes from the peasants (shēn), we can only take it one step at a time. Most of the fields in the Jiangnan area are still in the hands of the landlords, and after a while, the local people will be replaced by our people, and the fields will be redistributed, and then they will be reduced or exempted" Chen Ye's idea of Zhao Xiao is very good, Chen Ye wants to make farmers almost free from paying taxes, so that farmers will have money. You can buy something, and as long as you have the money, the business can develop on a large scale.

In the future, taxes will also be collected from commerce, and farmers can fill their stomachs and think about doing other things (qíng).

At present, the income of crops is too low, and farm work wastes a lot of manpower and material resources. When the time comes, factories can be built, so that workers can go to work in factories when they are free.

At that time, there will be more and more common people's (rì) children.

Chen Ye's prediction is that there will be no large-scale war in a short period of time, and when his science and technology develop, he will be able to keep the war away from his homeland and fight.

Ordinary people will no longer wander around because of war, and there is no place for peace in the whole country.

This is a beautiful wish, which requires many people to work hard, and only when the people are rich can the country be rich. Now Chen Ye is very rich, and the common people's (rì) son is only slightly better than before, which has made many people grateful to Chen Ye.

There was not much obstacle along the way, and in the afternoon, we had already arrived in Anqing.

The soldiers had almost built the roads, and the roads were basically neat, and there was no battle to fight, so they could train and do something good for the people (qíng).

When Chen Ye came to Anqing County, he saw a long queue at the door, could it be that something happened in front of him (qíng).

Opening the window, Zhao Xiao asked the caravan next to him, what happened ahead?

"Dare to ask sir, what's going on ahead?" Zhao Xiao spoke more politely and dressed more ordinarily, and the businessman thought she was the one who came to visit her relatives.

explained: "Madam, this is the Anqing County Order is investigating and detailing, and there is also the payment of money."

"Pay for it? What do you pay well? "Zhao Xiao didn't understand a little, now Jiangnan has not increased taxes.

"Madame doesn't know, this is the Anqing County Order to collect money, and the people who pass by charge a cent to one or two shares, this money is divided equally between the county order and the local lord Zhou, as if he wants to pay homage to the prince" As soon as these words came out, Chen Ye's face was very blue in the car, when did Chen Ye ask the people below to pay homage to him. Besides, he was not honored by anyone below, who was so bold that he actually collected money under his own banner.

"However, the prince didn't say that he wanted to be filial, can't you report it?" Zhao Xiao continued to ask.

The businessman was even more sure that Zhao Xiao was a foreigner, and he didn't know the rules of Anqing, so he patiently explained: "In fact, the prince's mansion was destroyed by the Cui family, and Anqing County charged a little money in order to please the prince." This is what we are willing to give, and everyone is willing to give. ”

The businessman's words made Chen Ye furious, this was holding his own banner and swaggering across the street.

Chen Ye still lacks a place to stay, can't he stay in the restaurant if he comes to the restaurant again? Even if you build it for yourself, you can live for a few days, and it will cost you money and money, how can it be reasonable.

As Chen Ye's wife, how could Zhao Xiao not know that this is the unspoken rule behind it.

But Chen Ye really doesn't need this, Chen Ye hopes that the officials below will be well, dedicated to the people, and not flattered and bullied.

originally wanted to stop Chen Ye, but Chen Ye refused, and walked directly out of the car.

The businessman thought that Chen Ye was a stunned young man and was about to go up to theorize, so he hurriedly went up and grabbed his hand.

To tell the truth, in fact, this county order is a relative of the prince, even if he says it, he can use it, and besides, this money is nothing for people now.

"I know that the prince has no relatives!" Chen Ye also ignored the businessman, and spoke confidently.

Seeing that Chen Ye didn't listen to persuasion, he also sighed, he said it so clearly, he still couldn't persuade him. Young people, it's just too impulsive, too angry, and it's good to suffer a loss.

Yao Ruxue felt that there was a good show to watch, so she also followed Chen Ye out of the carriage and followed.

Chen Ye walked to the front and happened to see a soldier collecting money from people coming and going, checking (shēn) one by one. But some of the money couldn't be taken out, and I couldn't name it, so I put some money in.

Walking to the front of the line, a soldier defending the city directly stretched out his hand. The meaning is obvious, give money.

"The prince has repeatedly ordered that no additional fees are allowed, why do you dare to collect them openly?" As soon as Chen Ye's words came out, these soldiers did not get angry, but burst into laughter.

"Okay, you're stunned, don't you know, or how to drop, this is the mansion built by the prince, it's the time for you to express your heart, even if the king of heaven is here today, you have to give money, don't leave if you don't give money." The soldiers are arrogant and have a posture of not wanting to go in.

Chen Ye really wanted to slap this soldier, an older soldier came over, pulled Chen Ye, and whispered: "I see that you are also a reader, I guess you have to go to the county seat to buy books, you apologize, I won't charge you a penny, you can go." The prince attaches great importance to you scholars, study hard and repay the prince. ”

At this time, Chen Ye's heart was still a little better, after all, there was a soldier who was not bad to the end.

"If I just don't pay it, what will I do?" Chen Ye's tone was very tough.

The soldier who was originally stretching out his hand saw that Chen Ye was still energetic, and he was not polite at all.

"You don't know who our Master Zhou is, the relative of the prince today, you are a stinky scholar who doesn't know what to do, and you don't want to give you face, please do it in prison to know whether you should pay it or not."

"Isn't there a royal law?" After listening to what Chen Ye said, the soldier laughed.

"Wang Fa, Wang Fa, that is the law of the prince, our Lord Zhou is a relative of the prince, that is the law of Master Zhou" The soldier said arrogantly, ready to take Chen Ye away.

But no matter how hard you try, you just can't pull Chen Ye.

"Big brother, what a lot of strength, come on" Yao Ruxue picked up the sugar gourd and watched the trouble.

After more and more people gathered, the soldiers saw that this scholar was a big deal, and several people were ready to arrest Chen Ye.

Chen Ye opened his wallet with one hand and threw it over.

The older soldier thought that the scholar was scared, and after opening the money bag with some pride, after opening it, the older soldier's legs trembled astringently, and his knees couldn't stop kneeling.

"Call your Master Zhou over to me and give him the contents of it." The older soldier hurriedly asked the soldier to let go of Chen Ye, and ran all the way to the Zhou Mansion at a trot. This time he really kicked on the iron plate, and when he looked at the token, he knew that it was the person next to Chen Ye (shēn), such a person, he couldn't afford to offend.

Chen Ye wants to see when he has relatives in Anqing.

It didn't take long for the county order to be the first to arrive at the city gate, and knelt down directly, which also alarmed the guards of the county order, which should be under the jurisdiction of the three military regions.

"I didn't know that the adults were coming, and the lower officials were disappointed, so I asked the adults to atone for their sins." As soon as he finished speaking, a regiment commander of the three armies saw Chen Ye at a glance.

As soon as he was about to kneel down, Chen Ye showed his intentions!

Chen Ye motioned for him not to speak, he stood aside honestly, looking at the people in the army as if he knew this young man, so that the county order was more certain that this person was a close confidant of the prince, otherwise there was a token of the prince.

"The county ordered me to ask you, why is the prince going to build the mansion, and when will the toll be paid" Chen Ye asked loudly in front of the people.

The county magistrate looked embarrassed, and he didn't say it, so he could only tell the story: "My lord, I don't want to go down to the officials, since Anqing returned to the prince's official, we are the hometown of the prince, I have always adhered to the essence, never embezzled, and charged the people a penny and a pride."

After saying that, the people booed.

The county commander felt that he had no face on his face, and his fig leaf was suddenly revealed, but the county commander was also an official, and he was clear about some of the things that he understood, so he quickly pulled Chen Ye aside, but unfortunately, Chen Ye didn't pay attention to it at all.

The county makes itself a stomach of bitter water and has no place to confide!
