Since Lin Yu's family rejected the Liu family's blind date, their store has been constantly harassed, so that there is no way to continue to operate, and can only temporarily close down, although this is an undesirable thing, but there is no way, they have no strength to fight against it, so they can only be passive.

In this regard, Lin Yu has also been persuading Lin Xu to sell the shop as much as possible, but the other party still can't make up his mind, saying that it can still be tolerated, it has not reached such a serious point, let's wait a minute!

It doesn't matter if this slows down, it will have very serious consequences for him next.

On such a morning, all the merchants in Changnan City received the news that the tax burden of each family had increased by 20%, and they were not allowed to be in arrears, and they were responsible for the consequences.

In fact, many people can expect this, after all, there was such a warning before, but I didn't expect it to increase so much, which can be said to be very helpless, but there is no way but to accept it silently.

Although they knew that this was not the meaning of the imperial court, but the meaning of King Ning, but what could they do, the entire Changnan City and many surrounding places could be said to be King Ning's final say, and the local officials could be said to be useless, they were all dependent on King Ning, even if there were dissatisfied people, it would be the result of being replaced in the end.

Even if some people go to the capital to expose King Ning's arrogance, they will be stopped if the news does not reach the emperor, otherwise King Ning will not be so peaceful for so long.

In fact, in the past few years, King Ning was relatively stable and did not want to interfere in local affairs, but slowly, the other party also revealed such a nature, especially in the last year or two, it can be said that he has completely grasped the initiative in Changnan City and the surrounding areas, whether it is the county order or the governor, all obey his orders.

If it is just to grasp such power, after all, it will not interfere with ordinary people, but the other party will not be so simple, and sure enough, the tax burden is constantly increasing now, which also affects everyone in the city, and it can be said that there are many complaints.

But that can only be endured, after all, other people do not have the ability to compete with King Ning, the current King Ning is not idle, he is a person with an army of soldiers, it stands to reason that the entourage of the vassal king is generally a quantity, not too much, but King Ning has not complied with such regulations, everything is up to him.

For such a matter of increasing the tax burden, Lin Xu is still reluctantly acceptable, after all, everyone else is like this, and he doesn't dare to say anything, he can only conform to it.

In the next few days, the increase in tax burden also began, and Lin Xu originally followed the normal process, but when it came to his rice shop business, everything also changed, and danger followed.

Lin Xu originally thought that the rice shop would increase the tax burden by two layers, so he also prepared such a silver coin, but when it came time to increase the income, he was told that the tax burden of the rice shop would not be collected, and it would be temporarily requisitioned and under the unified jurisdiction of King Ning's Mansion.

Lin Xu was a little surprised by this, he didn't know what this meant, for no reason, why should he expropriate rice shops, he didn't do anything wrong, at first he always felt that it was because of offending the Liu family, but as soon as the other party said it, he changed his mind, because the other party said that all the rice shops in the city were temporarily under the jurisdiction of the palace, and then he would talk about compensation.

Lin Xu must be dissatisfied with this, the shop he worked hard for was requisitioned for no reason, not to mention the specific situation of compensation, which made it difficult for anyone to accept.

So Lin Xu also argued with the visitor, saying that he would not agree easily, but his words had no effect, the person who came did not agree at all, but just asked people to move the rice out of the store as soon as possible, in fact, it was said to requisition the rice store, it was better to ask for the food inside, after all, the store was useless to them, and the food was the most important.

Although Lin Xu desperately shouted to stop him, it had no effect at all, and he was also beaten violently by someone who came, but fortunately he was not arrested, otherwise the result would really be uncertain.

Soon all the food in the store was moved, leaving Lin Xu sitting in front of the door in a daze, after all, he had never encountered such a thing, even a robber would not move everything, but now that it has happened, you have no way, and it is also a disaster to be beaten violently for no reason.

At this time, after Lin Yu heard such a thing at home, he also hurried to the direction of the store, and he had to be very surprised by this, he didn't expect it to happen so suddenly, and there was no warning at all.

Lin Yu walked in front of Lin Xu and saw that the other party was stunned, and his face was also swollen, and he still felt very pitiful.

Originally, Lin Yu felt that such a thing could be avoided, that is, to sell the shop, but the other party also insisted and did not make up his mind to have such a result, he really felt a little helpless, and he didn't know how to tell it.

Of course, the most hateful thing about all this is King Ning, for some of his own interests, not only did he sacrifice so much hard work, but he also took other people's things for himself.

"Look at the wound on your face, let the doctor take a look at it first!" Lin Yu walked over and comforted.

"It's over, it's all over, it's all gone." Lin Xu also talked to himself, and did not reply to Lin Yu's words.

"Actually, it's not that serious, it's just that the things in the store are gone, aren't the stores there, and the people are also there, so as long as this is the case, I believe there will be a chance to earn it back later, and we don't have two other stores, it's not nothing, relax your mind." Lin Yu persuaded this.

I hope the other party doesn't care about such a thing, after all, there is no way, it is still difficult to deal with it at present, so I can only wait slowly.

"It's impossible, it's impossible, as long as there is King Ning, everything is useless, no one can stop King Ning." Lin Xu continued to talk to himself, seemingly answering Lin Yu, but in fact, it also explained the current situation.

Indeed, as long as King Ning is willing, I am afraid that everyone's things can be taken away, so in this case, I am afraid that there will be no chance to turn over, and I believe that most people will also choose to leave the city and go to other places, otherwise they will continue to bear such pressure.

Lin Yu can actually understand this, in fact, he knows the reason better, it is not that King Ning is so arrogant for some small interests, but that the other party has to make big moves, and in order to ensure the success of the matter, the supply of food must be guaranteed, so there is such an act of possession.
