Chapter 15: Revealing Your Identity
Since Li Sanjian came to this world, he has been studying for eight years and being an official for one year, and he still has some understanding of the Song tax system, and knows that Song Zhi has a lot of miscellaneous taxes, but Li Sanjian did not expect that Song Zhi's strict taxes and miscellaneous taxes have reached such a level, and the field endowment that should have been 500 wen has increased by more than four times, or even more than four times, reaching more than two times, which does not include the taxes that Li Sanjian does not understand.
The suffering of the people has actually reached such a level that after a year, not to mention the surplus, even the minimum food and clothing cannot be guaranteed.
The poor shirt is single, and the heart is worried and wishes that the weather is cold! At this time, Li Sanjian suddenly remembered the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's poem "The Charcoal Seller".
The reason for this is that the imperial court tax system is the main reason, and of course, there are also reasons for the endless and unscrupulous exploitation of the people by the officials of the imperial court.
The situation in Meiyu Village, Hui'an County, Quanzhou, is even more serious, and it has reached the point of madness.
The villagers of Meiyu Village have no overnight food at home, and these cool officials still refuse to let go of these pitiful villagers, digging three feet into the ground, and squeezing their last flesh and blood.
"Who's commanding you? Can there be a clear text for this move? At this time, Li Sanjian couldn't bear it anymore, so he got up angrily and asked Zhong Lizheng and the others loudly.
"Whose life? Of course, it's the government's order. Zhong Lizheng replied after hearing this.
"The order of the government? What is the county order of Hui'an County? Li Sanjian then asked loudly.
"Hey, hey, whose yamen is this who actually wants to see my master?" At this clock, a man wearing a yamen official uniform next to him said with a smile: "Can you see my master?" It's really a toad yawning, and the tone is not small. ”
"Hahahaha!" Zhong Lizheng and the others immediately laughed loudly when they heard this, and at the same time looked Li Sanjian up and down extremely rudely.
"Hong Daguan, look at this... Zhong Lizheng then nodded and said to this person.
"No hindrance, no hindrance, you can take it however you want." Hong Daguan squinted at Li Sanjian, threw his hand to the sky, and said coldly: "We are on an errand, who dares to stop us?" ”
"Haha, on an errand?" Li Sanjian was not angry but laughed: "Why haven't you heard of the emperor's will to collect autumn taxes in advance?" ”
"Dare to disdain the people, dare to blaspheme the emperor, come here, take it down for me." Hong Daguan said angrily when he heard this.
Even if the emperor had a will, how could he directly give such a low-ranking official, and even their master, the county magistrate of Hui'an County, would hardly directly receive the emperor's decree.
The emperor's will is generally directly given to the governor of a state, that is, to Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou.
When the two Hui'an County Yamen officials heard this, they stepped forward with their knives, took out the chains and wanted to lock Li Sanjian, and then escorted him to the Hui'an County cell, and then slowly cleaned him up or extorted money.
Xu Biao snorted coldly, stepped forward, blocked in front of Li Sanjian, stretched out his arms, grabbed the two officials, and held them in the air.
"Ahh The two officials were held in the air by Xu Biao, their legs kicked wildly, and their hands tried to break Xu Biao's palms, but they were like dragonflies regretting iron trees, and they couldn't break free at all, so they could only exclaim loudly.
"Contains a bird and a monkey! Dare to come and pounce on the master? Xu Biao roared, and threw the two of them into the distance.
"Poof... Crash... The two officials let out two screams, and then crashed into the thatched huts on both sides, the thatched huts are made of earthen walls and thatch, so they are not very strong, plus Xu Biao's strength is infinite, so the two of them crashed into two walls, making a sparse noise, and everyone also heard a woman's screams from inside the house, which seemed to be Yaoyao's voice...
It is estimated that the two officials will not die, but they will also have broken bones and tendons.
Li Sanjian glanced at Xu Biao.
It's too important to start, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, he broke the house, and in the end, it wasn't Li Sanjian who spent money to repair it...
Xu Biao was so powerful that he was immediately stunned by Hong Daguanren, Zhong Lizheng and others.
Hong Daguan was so frightened that he took a few steps back and shouted loudly: "Rebellion, rebellion, come on, kill the official and rebel." ”
"Take it!" Seeing this, Li Sanjian ordered loudly.
Yao Yu and Xu Biao pounced when they heard this, and even Li Gang pounced on him and grabbed a servant who punched and kicked him...
Xu Biao knocked down Zhong Lizheng's two entourage, grabbed Zhong Lizheng who was about to escape, and lifted the fat Zhong Lizheng into the air with one hand.
"Huh? Help me... What a man spares his life! Zhong Li thought that Xu Biao was going to throw him out again, so he kicked his feet in fright, and let out a cry and begging for mercy like a pig.
After Yao Yu let go of the two officials, he flew up and kicked on the buttocks of the big official Hong, kicked him out three feet away, and fell in front of Li Sanjian. Changsha
"Murder and rebellion? Do you dare to be an official? The next three indiscriminate thieves. Yao Yu pointed at Hong Daguan and scolded.
Li Sanjian then walked up to Hong Daguan, pointed at Lan Atan and the others and asked angrily: "Are these villagers already unclothed, hungry, and blind?" You actually collected the autumn tax in advance, and the increase in consumption actually reached more than four times, what crime should you be guilty of oppressing the people like this? ”
"What crime should this official be guilty of, it's not your turn to convict." Hong Daguan is also tough, after wiping the wet mud on his face, he looked at Li Sanjian fiercely and said: "You beat the officials of the imperial court, in order to seek rebellion, it is a big crime to exterminate the three clans, let us go quickly, maybe this official will open the net, Rao Er and others will not die." ”
"Haha, it seems that I still refuse to admit my mistake and admit my guilt." Li Sanjian didn't laugh angrily, looked at the embarrassed Hong Daguan with a wet face and mud, and said, "That's good, today's matter is over, you will go back immediately, and you are not allowed to urge the payment of autumn taxes." As long as you stop waiting and let you go today, how about it? ”|
It's not much fun to worry too much about these ant-like characters, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, even if Li Sanjian arrests these cool officials and puts them in prison, and all of them are brought to justice, what can he do?
To go back to the source, we still need to find a way to find a way from the root, otherwise this kind of thing will emerge in an endless stream and will be punishable.
Therefore, Li Sanjian doesn't plan to worry too much about these little minions today.
"You? You... You said stop and stop? Who are you? Can you make decisions for the government? Hong Daguan said to Li Sanjian with a mocking look on his face.
"Someone can call the shots!" Li Sanjian nodded and smiled.
"Where is Meng Guangxi, the county magistrate of Hui'an County?" Li Sanjian smiled and smiled, his face suddenly sank, and he asked loudly.
Li Sanjian is the governor of Quanzhou, of course, he needs to understand the situation in Quanzhou, at least he needs to know who the magistrate or county commander of the seven counties of Quanzhou is.
Therefore, during his trip in March, Li Sanjian had already familiarized himself with some documents and materials about Quanzhou obtained by the Ministry of Officials, and was familiar with them by heart.
"You... You guys... Be... Who is it? Hong Daguan propped his hands in the mud, looked up at Li Sanjian and asked suspiciously.
It can't be a bandit, right? Hong Daguan thought in horror, why did they stand up for these untouchables for no reason, so except for some bandits who were "doing the right thing for heaven", Hong Daguan really couldn't think of anyone else who was willing to stand up for these untouchables.
At the same time, at this time, Li Sanjian suddenly drank the name of the county magistrate of Hui'an County, which made Hong Daguan even more confused, and he was even more confused about what kind of people Li Sanjian and others were.
It seems that it is not possible to show his identity, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, these people will not answer honestly if they do not reveal their identity.
So Li Sanjian squatted down, took out the jade official card from his arms, stood in front of Hong Daguanren and asked with a smile: "Do you see it clearly?" ”
"I know... Know.... The government of the government, the government of the government... Respect? Plum... Li Li... Zhizhou... After the official Hong recognized the official card, he was suddenly shocked, his face was like earth, and he said tremblingly, and he was so frightened by the words on the official card that he couldn't even finish the words, and changed his previous calm and calm expression.
This kind of official license issued by the imperial court cannot be imitated, even if it can be imitated, no one dares to imitate it, and imitating the official card is a big crime and a capital crime.
Therefore, the young man in front of Hong Daguan is Li Sanjian, who is about to go to Quanzhou as the new governor of Quanzhou, which is absolutely true and undoubted.
"The Emperor of the Mansion forgives sins! You're a big adult, so spare the small ones. After hearing that he shouted the word "Zhizhou", the county officials who came with Hong Daguan came over to check the official card in Li Sanjian's hand, and then they were all frightened, and knelt on the ground together and kowtowed desperately.
Previously, they also heard that there would be a young Zhizhou in Quanzhou who was going to take office, and they also heard that this young Zhizhou was still a new champion.
But how could the officials of the Hui'an County Government think that the new governor Li Sanjian would actually appear here? Appeared in this remote village?
Not long ago, they actually wanted to lock Li Sanjian in prison for punishment... It was completely Tai Sui's head breaking ground, the tiger's head swatting flies, and the water washed the Dragon King Temple, which was simply unbelievably thick. Hong Daguan and the others thought wildly in their hearts.
"Xiaomin and others will meet the master of Zhizhou!"
Not only were the people of Hui'an County so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, but even Lan Atan and other villagers were also shocked.
Don't talk about the respect of a state, let's just say that a small official in the county government of Hui'an County came to Meiyu Village, which is also a great official for Lan Atan and other villagers.
For so many years, these government officials and lords have ridden on their heads to make a fortune, but they dare not be angry but dare not speak, because they are people from the government, and if they oppose them, they will be convicted and arrested and imprisoned.
It is easy to get into prison, but it is difficult to get out of prison, and if you don't shed your skin and lose your family, you won't get out of prison, and some people even die in prison.
Therefore, Lan Atan and other villagers are afraid of officials like tigers, like jackals, tigers and leopards.
At this time, the Venerable of Yizhou actually stood in front of them, how could he not be frightened and not possess his body?
