Mingxiangju in Yang County is the most elegant teahouse in this county. Although the economic conditions of the people of Yang County are obviously better than those of some surrounding county governments, they can have spare money, and there are still not too many people who come to this Mingxiangju to taste tea and listen to music.

Therefore, those who can often go in and out of this Mingxiangju are all successful people who mix well in Yang County and have heads and faces. Tasting tea in Mingxiangju is also a symbol of the status of some successful people in Yang County.

The second floor of Ming Xiang Ju is the most ornately decorated, and it is a place to receive VIPs. In the most luxurious room on the second floor, there are two people sitting inside at this time, drinking tea, and talking about something?

If the ordinary people of Yang County saw these two people, they would definitely be surprised. Because the status of these two people in Yang County is particularly high, it can be said that when the two of them step on their feet, the entire Yang County will tremble.

These two people, one of them is Yang Hong, the patriarch of the Yang family, and the other is also a well-known figure, he is Qiu Ze, the president of the Unity Association.

The leaders of these two hostile forces will actually sit here today and drink tea together, and the people of Yang County may be surprised if they see it.

"Brother Qiu, I don't think this situation is right! There were many strangers in the county, and they also spread the word that the old emperor was sending troops to strangle us, which made his brothers panic, and it seemed that this King Wu was going to do something to us! Yang Yun had met Yang Hong, and said a little depressed.

"If they act, that's what is called normal, and if they don't act, it's not normal." Qiu Ze is a gray-haired old man in his sixties.

"Actually, I also know that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and we haven't raised troops to rebel, so it is impossible for the old emperor to suddenly send troops to encircle and suppress us, but those guys under him don't believe it, they have already panicked." Yang Hong said anxiously.

"Hehe, Patriarch Yang, you are a big man who commands more than 10,000 people, how can they make you panic with this little trick. As the so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and we will accept them when they make a move. "Qiu Ze, the president of the Unity Association, is a well-known old fox.

"Then what do we do now?" Yang Hongda didn't like this person who took away half of their country, but he had to admire that Qiu Ze could always come up with some good strategies at critical moments.

"Patriarch Yang, what are you anxious about? Most of the people who come to our Yang County to promote are fresh faces. You let your subordinate brothers, look at these nonsense outsiders, deliberately find some excuses, and give him a fat beating, it is just some ordinary disputes, as long as it doesn't hurt people's lives, what can those rice buckets in the county government do to me? Qiu Ze looked at Yang Hong in front of him and smiled like a fox.

Yang Hong really adopted Qiu Ze's suggestion, and in the next few days, these people who spread the news everywhere were often provoked for no reason, and the other party fought when they disagreed, and many people were injured.

Yao Xia in the county government also felt very helpless, although he knew that it was the Yang family and the unity that would make small moves, but he was helpless.

When he received this news, Yang Yun felt very disappointed, it seemed that there were masters among these guys, so he had to send someone to withdraw the people who were propagandizing in Yang County.

On the other hand, Yan Xiong and Liu Haini, who were bandits in Yang County, also encountered some minor troubles.

In this place of Yang County, there were not many bandits before, because this place produces salt, and the lives of the common people are barely passable, so they have not been forced to the point of going up the mountain to become bandits.

At the same time, the folk customs of Yang County are very strong, and there have been several small bandits who have entered the territory of Yang County, and they have not grabbed much, but they have been taken by these

The people of Yang County, who were very familiar with the terrain and were extremely brave and belligerent, drove out.

After Yan Xiong and Liu Haini arrived in Yang County, the first few times, they carried out sneak attacks on some guys who were mining salt and shipping salt, and took the opportunity to obtain some salt and silver.

But later, the Yang family and the Unity Society. But there was preparation. Yan Xiong and Liu Haini's people not only did not get benefits, but were ambushed by the other party several times and lost some manpower.

So far, Yan Xiong and Liu Haini, who are unfamiliar with the place, are trapped in a mountainous area and cannot take any effective action.

When these unfavorable news reached Ju Yuanguang's ears, he was a little surprised. After a while, he almost got angry and showed a weird smile.

"Interesting, it seems that there are still masters in this small Yang County, so I'll continue to make moves to see how you deal with it." Ju Yuanguang looked at the situation notice and said to himself.

On this day, there were suddenly many more notices on the streets of Yang County, which were posted by the county government.

On these notices, the production of salt per person in several large salt wells in Yang County was listed in detail, and a detailed account was calculated.

The notice described in detail how many salt wells there are in Yang County, how much salt can be mined per year in each salt well, and also calculates how much freight is needed to transport these salt to other places, and how much is the price of salt sold in other places.

This notice clearly analyzes how much silver the Yang family and the Unity Association can earn every year by relying on these salt wells.

At the end of the notice, the county government clearly requested that the Yang family and the Unity Association should be based on the tax standards of Dafu. Ask them to quickly pay all the taxes that have not been paid enough over the years.

The Yang family and the Unity Association have relied on rigor over the years to make a lot of money. However, they bribed some officials, made false accounts, and evaded taxes and gained a lot of profits.

After seeing this notice, Yang Hong and Qiu Ze had different reactions.

"This county order is naïve enough, you can calculate it accurately, I don't admit it, what can you do with me?" Yang Hong said with a smile.

On the hall of the Unity Society, Qiu Ze looked at the notice in his hand, but fell into deep thought.

After these notices were posted, it was of course impossible for the Yang family and these responsible persons of the Unity Association to admit that this matter was true, let alone pay back taxes as required by the county government.

However, this detailed notice caused an uproar among the people of Yang County.

Because these ordinary people in Yang County, even including the members of the Yang family and the congregations of the Unity Society, most of them are ordinary people who do not have much education, and every year they go down to dig salt and get some money.

These silver taels can barely support everyone's family, although they are relatively poor, but at least they are not to the point of starvation, and these people in Yang County are satisfied.

But now they know that they had been given two taels of silver. Only a small part of the annual income of the salt well, but the vast majority of the silver is taken away by those who do not work, but only know how to point fingers.

The notice issued by the county government analyzed in detail the annual income of each mine, so that the people involved in the salt digging could not sit still, and asked the person in charge of the salt well to increase their hard work.

Some core members of the Yang family, and some of the leaders of the Unity Association, how could they divide the money they received, they stated that the county government spread rumors and released false data to the people, and on the other hand, they dismissed the people who went down the well, and even

Threats by force, intimidation, etc.

However, what the Yang family and the people of the Unity Association did not expect was that the announcement of this announcement was only the beginning of a series of plans of Ju Yuanguang.

The Yang family and the leaders of the Unity Association know that salt mining has become an important means for the vast majority of ordinary people in Yang County to make a living. Therefore, they believe that the people who dig salt do not dare to continue to make trouble at the risk of being fired.

But what they didn't expect was that these ordinary people were actually iron-hearted this time.

Soon, the persons in charge of the major salt wells found that these people in Yangxian County, who had been engaged in digging salt for a long time, actually picked on them at the same time.

These people can do this, but the person in charge of a big salt well is in a hurry. I saw a large amount of stone salt hidden in the salt well, but no one could find anyone to mine it.

In the past, these people who went down to dig for salt also protested because their income was too small. But under the threat of the Yang family and the Unity Society, it will not be done after all.

But this time, they moved in earnest, and resolutely resisted going down the mine to dig salt in such a large area, which was a phenomenon that had never been encountered before.

It seems that behind these people who dig for salt, there are people who are giving them advice, otherwise, they would not have made such a policy together.

Qiu Ze, the president of the Unity Association, is a very methodical person, he saw that the people who dug the well began to oppose going down the well, and he made an unexpected action.

Let the land belong to the Yang family and the Unity Society, and all the village soldiers went down to dig salt.

After hearing the order from above, these village soldiers also hurriedly took action and took off one after another. Heavy armor on his body. Throw away the blade in your hand and go to the salt well to start mining salt.

Qiu Ze's purpose for letting people do this is actually very simple, that is, he wants to tell these people who dig salt. You don't want to go down into the well to dig for salt, we have people who can do such things.

According to Qiu Ze's idea, as long as these township soldiers can hold out for a month or two, the people who are unwilling to go down the mine to dig salt will definitely panic and cry and beg to come back to dig salt.

What Qiu Ze didn't expect was that these township soldiers were still quite capable of bullying the common people on weekdays, but if they were asked to do it, it would be like asking for their lives.

Going down to the well for a long time and not knowing what to do, or messing around, it will affect the continuation of the salt digging work.

After a day of digging salt in the well, the villagers were exhausted one by one. Complaining bitterly. However, the salt they dug up by hand was only one or two percent of what it used to be.

After only two or three days, these villagers either pretended to be sick or found someone to intercede, and they were unwilling to go down to the salt well.

This situation caused a headache for the leaders of the Yang family and the Unity Society, and they had different ideas among themselves.

Some people believe that the demands of these ordinary people should be acceded to, otherwise, the salt in these wells will not be turned into silver at all.

However, there are also those who believe that the demands of these people cannot be easily acceded to. Because, once this opening is opened, how can these salt-digging people be unhappy one day, and come out like this again, endlessly making unreasonable demands.

Differences of opinion arose within both forces, and the matter was never resolved.

The salt dug up in the well has been seriously reduced, which means that the silver seen cannot be realized, Yang Hong became anxious again, and found Qiu Ze again, these two previously hostile forces, this time because they had a common enemy, but united.
