Yang Kai felt that it was really the right time to come to Wuyi to be the county commander. Although he almost made a mistake earlier and never recovered, he was not in danger, not only passed this hurdle, but also fell in love with the Li family, the master of Chengde. This is several grades higher than him climbing to the second son of the king, that is, Cao Xin, the uncle of the second son of the king Wang Mingyi, is just the history of the assassination of the state under the command of the Chengde Festival.

The opportunity has been placed in front of him, and whether he can seize it or not depends on his own ability, so since then, he has begun to spare no effort to stammer.

Gongsun Changming left Wuyi and prepared to go to Li Anguo in Zhenzhou, he personally sent all the way to the border of Wuyi, only to cry and wipe his tears to express his reluctance. sent Gongsun Changming away, turned around, and ran to Li Ze's Zhuangzi every now and then.

Of course, people must also have a level, and Yang Kai is still very accomplished in this regard. After coming once, I remembered the words of my mother's devotion to the Buddha revealed from Li Ze's inadvertent scriptures, and when I came again, I would always bring something related to Buddhism, either some unique Buddhist scriptures that I found out of nowhere, or some rare Buddhist ornaments, pendants, and some Buddhist beads made of rare materials, etc.

It's not necessarily how valuable these things are, but this is what makes Mrs. Wang feel happy, and her mother likes it, so Li Ze can only pinch his nose and entertain this sticky guy with kind words every time.

Although this guy is very annoying, but from another aspect, Li Ze has to thank him, Mrs. Wang probably thought that these things were all found by Li Ze with great effort, so these days, the smile on his face has gradually increased, and the words have gradually increased, and occasionally he has asked Li Ze a few warm words.

To tell the truth, Li Ze didn't know what maternal love was in his last life, and in this life, he finally had a mother, but he was still in such a state before, which really disappointed him, and now he finally felt a trace of maternal love, and his heart was really warm and tight.

Whether it is in the previous life or in this life, he himself knows very well that what he lacks is really love.

I'm really too careless, I used to slaughter the tiger and go north and south, if you want to find these things, you can naturally find them, or blame yourself for not having this heart. This Yang Kai really pointed out a clear way for himself to communicate the feelings of mother and son. With this connection, no matter how hard you work, you must always make the mother-son relationship in this life really good.

Didn't the world say, "What is lacking is what is needed?"

"Yang County Order, seeing that you have a sad face, is there anything difficult to solve?" Li Ze looked at Yang Kai and asked with a smile. In the past, when Yang Kai came to the house, he could always use an excuse, but this time, there was no excuse left. Thinking that he had made Wang Mingyi and Yang Kai mistakenly think that he had something to do with Zhenzhou, Li Ze had a faint headache.

Of course, there is a relationship, and it is very special, the problem is, this relationship is not the kind of relationship that Yang Kai imagined.

"Childe's eyes are as wise as a torch!" Yang Kai put down the tea bowl in his hand, "Yang Kai really has something to ask for a son."

"Oh, what's the matter, let's hear it, but Yang County Order, the words are ahead, I may not be able to do your business!" Li Ze said with a smile.

"There is really nothing others can do about this, but what about Yu Gongzi, that is, a matter of words." Yang Kai hurriedly said.

"What's the matter?"

"Childe, Wuyi was originally a lower county, and the total number of households in the county was only about 2,000, this year's autumn endowment, Yang Kai was exhausted and finally successfully completed, but the day before yesterday, Yizhou issued an order to add a flat bandit tax. The little Wuyi actually paid 20,000 yuan!" Yang Kai said with a sad face.

"There are bandits in Yizhou? I haven't heard of it!" Li Ze said in surprise.

"This is not what Yizhou meant, but an order from Zhenzhou." Yang Kai sighed and said: "If it is only Yizhou, I will beg Wang Beijia, how can I collect a little less, but Zhenzhou will share it, Wang Beijia will not have a little way. It is said that it is a bandit tax, but in fact, this is preparing for a war, and I heard from the people above that after the spring sowing next year, there will be a war with Lu Long."

Li Zexin said Gongsun Changming really has a way, it hasn't been long since he went to Zhenzhou, and he helped his Lao Tzu make up his mind to form an alliance with Hedong to deal with Lu Long? This tax increase is just to prepare for this war.

Of course, the old man is not willing to fight this battle with his old money, and in the end he still has to spread the cost on the common people. The people of Quanchengde will have to pay for this war.

"It costs ten yuan for a household to spread evenly, which is indeed not a small amount of money." Li Ze groaned.

"My son-in-law, this is a small amount of money, most people, even if you let him be pants, you can't get ten yuan at a time!" Yang Kai looked at Li Ze with a look of why he didn't eat minced meat, and he felt angry, dare to love you Li Gongzi felt that ten times the money was not much, but this didn't mean those ordinary people!

"How big is the gap?" Li Ze asked.

Yang Kai sighed: "I have already sent the tax collectors to the countryside to destroy it, and now the payment is only two thousand guan. The shortage is too big, Childe, I don't dare to destroy it too much, you may not know the news, Shiyi under the rule of Henghai Jie Du, which is the county adjacent to us across Daqingshan, is also a remote place similar to our Wuyi, and now it has become a mess, the government has destroyed it too much, and the people have gathered to riot."

"Huh? Is there such a thing?" Li Ze's eyes widened, this winter, his manpower was invested in the business with Wang Mingyi to go to Lu Long's side to make a quick buck, but the head of Heng Haijun was in Maodong, but he didn't expect something big to happen over there.

"Yes, the specific situation is not clear, but the riots of the people over there in Shiyi are already a certainty, and I am very worried!" Yang Kai's face was full of sorrow.

"Are you afraid that the forced apportionment will force Wuyi to follow in the footsteps of Shiyi?" Li Ze asked.

"And it's not just that." Yang Kai said: "It's really poor Wuyi, if they are all as rich as Gongzi, then I don't have to worry. If you really want to get these 20,000 yuan, then I don't know how many families will not be able to survive this year, next spring, they will definitely starve to death, although Yang Kai is not a good official, but he can't do this kind of thing. This is one of them, and the second is that I am very worried about the mob on which side of Shiyi, don't look at them making a good scene, but as soon as the army goes, they will definitely be defeated, and I am afraid that they will rush into Daqing Mountain, and then touch our side! Childe, think about it, we are forcing us to pay taxes here, and these mobs are coming over there, if these two ends are in contact, will the chaos extend to us? I haven't been the county magistrate for a year, and such a disaster happened, can Cao Assassin Shiyan spare me?"

After hearing Yang Kai's words, Li Ze was a little impressed by this guy.

As Yang Kai said, this person is not a good official, nor is he a capable official, but just seeing that he can't bear to scrape the ground to complete the tasks assigned by the top is enough to make Li Ze treat him differently. This guy also wants to get rich, but his goal of getting rich, from the very beginning, was aimed at people like Yixingtang instead of ordinary people, and it seems that this person still has some bottom lines in his heart.

In this era, if you can have such thoughts, Li Ze thinks that he has a great conscience.

"There are more than 2,000 households in Wuyi, right?" Li Ze asked.

Hearing this, Yang Kai was a little embarrassed, Wuyi is actually more than 2,000 households, but there are only 2,000 households registered in the county, just like Li Ze's Zhuangzi's more than 200 tenant households, which are not on the book. And in the entire Wuyi, there are still several like Li Ze.

Seeing that Yang Kai was silent, Li Zeyi smiled and said: "Zhenzhou's tax collection this time is actually not only about Chengde and the land, but also about the long-term peace and stability of the entire country, so it is impossible for me to say anything."

Seeing Yang Kai's disappointed look, Li Ze continued: "But I also understand the difficulties of Yang County's order, so let's do it, I'm here, out of five thousand."

"How dare you ask your son to pay?" Yang Kai raised his eyebrows, but his hands were swinging again and again, and his mouth was also prevaricating.

"It's also for the sake of virtue." Li Ze said lightly: "There is already a quarter of the five thousand, since even I am out, then the other few in Wuyi must also express it."

Yang Kai took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly. If you even have Li Gongzi out, and the other ones, I will dare to destroy them, I really want to tear them up, and there is the second prince of Wang to top it for himself, but the second prince of Wang knows that the bottom of the head is fine, and those few are only related to Yizhou, so they can still cross the Li Gongzi in front of them.

Li Ze inexplicably lost 5,000 yuan, and he was still a little distressed in his heart, but when he thought about it, this was also a contribution to Lao Tzu's career, and his heart was a little balanced, even if it was for his own small landlord's dream, let the old man build more weapons, armor, feather arrows, and recruit more soldiers and horses, which can always add some strength.

"As for the possibility of mobs on the Shiyi side in Daqing Mountain, leave it to me!" Li Zedao: "I don't know how many iron armors there are in the county's arsenal, can you lend them to me?"

"Huh?" Yang Kai was taken aback. Give it to Childe? Childe's golden body ......"

Li Ze interrupted him: "It's just a group of mobs, my guards on the Zhuangzi are enough to deal with them, how many iron armor do you have?"

"Twenty!" Yang Kai was a little shy.

"Only twenty?" Li Ze couldn't believe his ears, the arsenal of a county actually only had twenty pairs of iron armor?

"There are only twenty of them!" Yang Kai swore with a gambling curse, "Childe, the armor is not like anything else, who dares to fight its idea?"

"Okay, twenty corpses are twenty corpses, you can send them to me when you turn around, those bandits don't come, if they really come, I can't let them come and go." LI Zedao.
