The Son of Heaven said that he was ill and dragged Dong Zhuo to act as an agent for the government, which seemed to be a compromise with Dong Zhuo, and as soon as the news came out, the scholars in Guanzhong who had been in a lot of noise before also began to die down and no longer oppose Dong Zhuo, and the government was controlled by Dong Zhuo.

Just when everyone thought that Dong Zhuo would also be restrained because of their concessions, at least no longer killing people at every turn, with the release of a new tax law from the imperial court, everyone's face changed.

Different from the previous poll tax, this time the imperial court collects taxes, which is collected by the area of cultivated land, no matter how many people in your family, they are collected according to the field rather than how many people collect taxes, and this time Dong Zhuo's means are very hard, directly let the army be responsible, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, these henchmen under Dong Zhuo's command have led troops into various counties, urging the local government office to measure the land and pay taxes according to the land.

If the fields in the world are divided into ten, then at least eight points are controlled by the wealthy families, Dong Zhuo's new tax hurts the gentry of the noble clan who hold a large number of fields, and the noble clan who have already decided to stop fighting, this time even if Wang Yun and others lobby, they can't sit still, and some even directly gather tenant farmers to resist, for a while, the land of Guanzhong is full of smoke, but these tenants who have just gathered up, how are they the opponents of the tiger and wolf division under Dong Zhuo, the rebellion that has just arisen has not yet formed a climate, and it was quickly extinguished.

Dong Zhuo even sacrificed the butcher's knife, and in just half a month, from the north to Longyou, there were tens of thousands of gentry and their families who died in this rebellion, and for a time the government and the opposition were in the wind.

"Dong Zhuo, what are you going to do!?" Chang'an, Situ Mansion, Chong Fu, Ma Riyan, Shi Sun Rui and others gathered for the first time, one by one with ugly faces, in half a month, the Guan Long Shi clan was almost half killed by Dong Zhuo, and even a big clan like the Huangfu family was almost wiped out.

Wang Yun's face was also ugly, and he looked at everyone: "Dong Thief is following Chen Mo's move this time. ”

"Different, right?" Chong Fu shook his head and said, "Although Bodao is a little younger and more vigorous, he is still considerate of my scholars. ”

Chen Mo's tax system in Bingzhou is known to many people, but the problem is that Chen Mo's methods are much gentler than Dong Zhuo's, and Chen Mo let go of the salt road and the interests of commerce at that time, so he got the concession of land tax from the gentry of Bingzhou, although it is not all acceptable, but this process is much gentler than Dong Zhuo here now, and Chen Mo did not force people to hand over the tenants, Chen Mo's attitude towards tenants has always been that you can afford to raise them, and you can't afford to raise me. Although the means are also attracted by the credibility of the government and the reduction and exemption of taxes, at least the people come according to the rules, and for the time being, the people of the state have not suffered too much.

And Dong Zhuo is now tantamount to holding a knife on the neck of the scholar and making the scholar compromise, can this be the same?

Wang Yun shook his head and didn't speak, although it showed that on the surface, Chen Mo did not treat the scholars of the state badly, but he gave the princes of the world a bad start, before Wang Yun felt that it was of little significance, Chen Mo's set could only be carried out in the state, but in Guanzhong and even the world, this set would not work, but now Dong Zhuo followed Chen Mo's example, and the wealth and population gathered in a short period of time are by no means comparable to the gains obtained by the arson army for bandits.

The most important thing is that if all the princes of the world follow suit, the consequences Wang Yun dare not imagine.

Of course, if it weren't for the desperate end of the road like Dong Zhuo, no one in the world would use this extreme method, but in the current situation, Dong Zhuo faintly felt like he had jumped out of the shackles of scholars.

"Can't wait any longer!" Wang Yun stood up, looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Dong Zhuo must be killed as soon as possible!" ”

Dong Zhuo's style of play is a lose-lose situation, although he has enough military rations, but he has completely lost the hearts of the soldiers, no one will be willing to serve him anymore, especially this half-moon slaughter of tens of thousands of people, there are no people in many vacancies in Guanzhong, who can govern Guanzhong?

"It's just that I'm not sure yet!" Kind of Fu frowned.

"Yes, now that Dong Zhuo's henchmen are all sent to various counties, this is an excellent opportunity for us to do it, you can choose a good fighter from among the guests, even if you can't convince Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo personally, I can also persuade him to stand by! As long as Lu Bu ignores this matter, Dong Zhuo, how can we not kill him!? Wang Yun got up and looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "This move is not only about the society, but also about the rise and fall of us, I hope you will do your best!" ”

"Situ rest assured, there is a ranger from Luoyang, who is a disciple of the former sword master Wang Yue, and he is quite famous in Luoyang, as long as Lu Bu doesn't care about this matter, it is not difficult to assassinate Dong Thief!" Shisun Ruilang said.

"Okay, I can transfer a batch of strong crossbows from the army, you can choose good hands, and then there will be no place for that Dong thief to die!" Wang Yun stroked his palm and smiled.

At the moment, everyone dispersed, Wang Yun went straight to the Taishi Mansion, in the past few days, Diao Chan has taken the opportunity of Dong Zhuo's banquet to invite the ministers, and approached Lu Bu's wife and daughter, Wang Yun's strategy has been half implemented, and the next thing is to find an opportunity.

didn't go to find Diao Chan, Wang Yun came to Dong Zhuo to create this opportunity this time.

Dong Zhuo has been in a good mood these days, and most of the depression that has been stuck in his heart has dissipated with the solution of the grain and grass problem, and he is discussing with Li Ru at the moment.

"Father-in-law." Li Ru put down the bamboo slip, looked at Dong Zhuo and frowned: "Although Chen Mo's method is good, but Sergeant Guan is now in a hurry, in this Jingzhao area, half of the county has no county order, and in the long run, there will inevitably be chaos again." ”

"The old man knows too." Dong Zhuo nodded and sneered: "It's just to let these scholars know who has the final say in this Chang'an, but this power has been established, how to show grace next?" ”

Dong Zhuo was reluctant to abolish this new tax law, he had already seen the way to suppress the scholars, and it was impossible for him to abolish it completely.

"No need, we can follow Chen Mo's example!" Li Ru shook his head and said: "One, you can send an envoy to discuss with Chen Mo to open the salt road, and the law of the state is also feasible in Guanzhong, in the matter of business in the Western Regions, the father-in-law can be like Chen Mo to open up border trade and reduce commercial taxes, this Chang'an can go far to the Western Regions, and the benefits are not much less than that of border horse trafficking, of course, you can also reduce or exempt some family taxes according to the officials." ”

"Taishi, King Situ asks to see!" Lu Bu came to the door and saluted Dong Zhuo.

"Let him in." Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this, looked at Li Ru and said, "Did you say that the prince is also here to intercede?" ”

"When it is." Li Ru coughed lightly and smiled.

Soon, Wang Yun came in and saluted Dong Zhuo and said, "Taishi, what you are doing this time is about the new tax." ”

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo looked at Wang Yun and asked with a smile, "What do you suggest?" ”

"Now Sergeant Guan is resentful, and he is even more afraid of the power of the Taishi Hu, and he does not dare to go out, and the magistrate of Guanzhong County has many deficiencies, so he thinks that at this time, he should not be aggressive, and he should focus on appeasement." Wang Yun bowed and said.

Now you know that you are soft? Why is the arrogance from before gone? Dong Zhuo sneered in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Li Ru on the side asked with a smile: "I don't know what Situ Gong thinks?" ”

Wang Yun glanced at Li Ru, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he saluted Li Ru and said: "In fact, the ministers of the court, the gentry of Chang'an have the intention to ask the master for guilt, and the ministers think that they can hold a banquet to convene the ministers and discuss a countermeasure. ”

Li Ru knew very well that the so-called discussion was just hoping to persuade Dong Zhuo to make a move, but it was just right, if it continued like this, it would only be a lose-lose situation, and Guanzhong still needed scholars to govern, so he nodded to Dong Zhuo at the moment.

"That's it!" Dong Zhuo understood, nodded and said: "Actually, the old man is not willing to force each other too much, but since entering the customs, everyone only knows that the yang is against the yin, so that the court decree cannot be implemented, and the old man will come out of the second side, so that tomorrow the old man will set up a banquet in Fengyi Pavilion, and then he can teach the ministers to bring their families over, and I will discuss this matter later." ”

This is a private banquet, the ministers brought their families, the ministers and Dong Zhuo together, and the family members got together with Dong Zhuo's daughter, and the two sides were separated.

"The master is magnanimous, and he will pass on the ministers." Wang Yun looked overjoyed, got up and bowed.

"Zishi doesn't have to be like this." Dong Zhuo smiled: "By the way, it's not a matter for your adopted daughter to serve in my house like this, tomorrow I am going to give it to Feng Xian, this Feng Xian doesn't know what's going on recently, he is always absent-minded, you persuade him well, and if he goes on like this, I'm afraid he won't have the sharpness he used to have." ”

"Don't worry, the minister, let's go!" Wang Yun said with a smile: "In addition, let the minister meet the little girl and give a few instructions." ”

"Go ahead." Dong Zhuo waved his hand.

Wang Yun immediately said goodbye and left, and found Diao Chan.

"See Father." Diao Chan retreated left and right, and saluted Wang Yunyi.

"Have you ever had a friendship with the Lu family?" Wang Yun looked at her cheap daughter and smiled lovingly.

"There's already some friendship." Diao Chan bowed his head slightly.

"Tomorrow, Dong Thief will hold a banquet in Fengyi Pavilion, and then the ministers and their families will also come, you try to send his wife to Dong Thief's room, remove his clothes, and then go to find Lu Bu and inform him, just say that Dong Zhuo wants to treat his wife badly, and I will introduce Dong Zhuo into the room." Wang Yunsen said: "If you do this, whether you are willing to go with Lu Bu or go back to Merge State, I will fulfill it to you." ”

"Oh~" Diao Chan replied softly.

"It's a drug, some smells, how to use it, you design it yourself." Wang Yun handed over the things prepared in advance to Diao Chan, as for whether the tiger and wolf medicine was useful or not, he didn't care.

Diao Chan didn't understand why Wang Yuntang was a famous man with these things on his body, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he took the medicine bottle and saluted again.

This is the place where the ladies of the Taishi Mansion live, Wang Yun is not good to stay for a long time, and he left in a hurry after explaining a few words, Diao Chan is only the first step, the ministers still have something to arrange, tomorrow is a very critical day, whether you can separate Lu Bu, it depends on tomorrow.
