The first day of November.

The courtyard of Liufu in the city has become very lively since the morning, and there are constantly cars and horses parked at the gate of the gate, and groups of brightly dressed gentry enter the Furong Garden of Liufu under the guidance of the little man on duty in Liufu.

Chen Lekang, the head of the Chen family, slowly got out of the carriage with Chen Lixin's support, he looked up at the plaque inscribed by Huang Zongxi himself on the lintel of Liu's house, sighed and did not speak.

Chen Lixin looked unhappy, "It's really not a son of man, how can such a family of eunuchs like this for many generations in the house come to his nouveau riche house to gather, and the Shunqing prefect will not do anything." ”

Chen Lekang smacked the crutches in his hand and looked at Chen Lixin with horizontal eyebrows.

"Bastard, can you judge Taishou like this?"

"You blame holding a rally on someone's site, but you don't want to think that his family made up this thing."

"Recently, there has been a storm in the city, but the government has not interfered much, I think that the prefect Zhang has reached a tacit agreement with his family, if it is really as I expected, then the prestige of the Liu family will be greatly boosted after this incident, you have to learn more."

A trace of annoyance flashed in Chen Lixin's eyes, he was a dignified person, but he wanted to learn what to do with this poor sourness, just pretend that he didn't hear it.

Chen Lekang looked at Chen Lixin's demeanor, knowing that his words probably didn't enter his ears, so he shook his head and didn't say more.

The courtyard of the Liu family occupies a very large area, and Liu Ximing bought this courtyard in order to have a stronghold in the city, so it is necessary to take into account the situation of the personal guard group, so a large courtyard was specially selected.

Today, it is just used to entertain the gentry of the prefecture and county.

Chen Lekang and others walked into the Hibiscus Garden, and after bypassing a piece of blooming plums, they saw a specially built platform, surrounded by tables and chairs.

It's just that near this area, there are even a lot of banners with black characters on a white background, which say something inexplicable such as "Han Yuan firm sponsors this event" and "fine weaving, your ultimate enjoyment".

"Hmph, it's really a nouveau riche, it's just a money eye."

Chen Lixin said disdainfully when he saw this scene, and Huang Ruiyan and the others who came in immediately echoed and came over to say hello.

"Chen Xianggong, I haven't seen you for many days."

This time, there were more than 200 gentry from various states and counties who were summoned by the government, and the entire Hibiscus Garden was stuffed.

As soon as the time arrived, Liu Ximing walked up to the platform in the middle of the garden and directly rang the gong on the stage.

"Gentlemen, this prefect and county assembly starts now, and I would like to invite Zhang Fuzun, the prefect of this prefecture, to speak."

Liu Ximing began to applaud after speaking, and all the gentry in the courtyard looked at each other, except for a few others who were indifferent.

Zhang Licheng walked up to the stage with a red face, and began to preach with his hands behind his back: "This time, the gentry from all over the county are invited to gather here, which is actually to discuss the matter of the silk tax for the people of Nanchong County......

Liu Ximing stepped down from the stage and didn't listen to Zhang Licheng talking on it.

He directly found He Tianlei who was staying in the backyard, "Are things ready, don't mess up." ”

"I don't need to go out in person for this kind of trivial matter, Lai Kid can solve it, don't worry."

Since Liu Ximing allocated a large amount of money last time, He Tianlei's attitude has suddenly improved a lot.

This made Liu Ximing sigh a little, sure enough, there is money that can make ghosts grind.

However, Liu Ximing was a little relieved just by his words, and he paved the way for nearly a month, for today's sake.

Fortunately, Lai Jingjie's work was quite reliable, and by the time Liu Ximing found him, there was already an earth-shattering sound outside the courtyard of the Liu family, and thousands of people in the city began to gather outside the courtyard of the Liu family, shouting various slogans into the mansion without stopping.

"Give me justice"

"Abolish excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and the whole government will bear the burden"

At this time, there was a war of words in the Hibiscus Garden, and the gentry of Datong Society, Nanchong County and other states and counties were singing in the courtyard, and the noise was in full swing.

When the noise outside the courtyard came in, the group of people suddenly silenced the debate.

"Oh no, sir, the people in the city are going to riot."

Lu Hong, the head of the government office, ran in with a rolling belt, he accepted Liu Ximing's money, and shouted directly according to Liu Ximing's instructions at this time.

"Wow"

The gentry in the garden were a little panicked all of a sudden, as they were at the top of the food chain, one or two people could only be the object of fish, but once these people gathered together, it would be their own life.

"Quick, Master Ben is going home."

I don't know who woke everyone up with a shout, and a group of people hurriedly stood up and wanted to escape.

"It's late, the front and back of Liu's mansion are all blocked", Lu Hong shouted with a sad face.

"Wow"

Now the crowd was even more excited.

"The surname Liu, you called us here, you have to take care of this matter to the end!"

Huang Hongyi shouted angrily to Liu Ximing, who was waiting to watch the excitement.

"Don't panic", Liu Ximing dodged Huang Hongyi's fat pig hand that reached over and grabbed him, and glared him back with his gaze.

"My family's compound is heavily guarded, ordinary people can't attack it, and I heard the shouts outside the door, not because I wanted to rebel, but because I was afraid that I came for the county from Ding Sijuan."

Liu Ximing looked at the gentry in the courtyard with a solemn face, "The matter is now, the anger is difficult to commit, Liu hereby implores the gentry to be more considerate and considerate of the suffering of the people of Nanchong County." ”

"Don't you have to think about me if you think about them? Which state and county here is not burdened, and it is better for your county to be in chaos than for our whole province to be in chaos. A voice from the crowd rang out.

"Someone's barging in!" , Lai Jingjie shouted outside the courtyard with a group of men and horses from the Longxiang camp.

All of a sudden, the people who had gathered outside the gate of Liu's Mansion all rushed in under the encouragement of the people, and the sound of footsteps frightened the gentry in the Furong Garden to turn pale.

"Give me justice"

"Equal Sharing of Miscellaneous Taxes"

The group of people who rushed in started with dozens of strong men, and shouted at the gentry while pushing and shouting, seeing that the situation in the garden was about to be a little uncontrollable.

"Fuck me up."

At the critical moment, Liu Ximing took out the megaphone and shouted with all his strength, and the Long Xiang battalion cooperated with the musket and released the empty gun into the sky.

The sound of hundreds of muskets "snapping" and "snapping" drowned out all the sounds at once, and both the gentry and the common people in the garden looked at the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion who were gathered in the corridors around the garden with a frightened expression.

"Keep quiet, who dares to make trouble against the wind today, be careful that Lao Tzu's gun does not recognize people."

After Liu Ximing finished yelling, he pretended to sigh, and said to Zhang Licheng, who was still standing on the stage: "Fuzun, now the government and county are arguing, since the court doesn't care, then we can only deal with it ourselves." ”

"The students have a strategy, which can calm the suffering of the people in Nanchong County, and make other Kyushu counties not pay a penny, I don't know if the government is willing to listen."

Zhang Licheng said with a look of joy on his face: "You come quickly." ”

Liu Ximing looked around at everyone, pointed to the Longxiang camp around the courtyard and said: "Now the focus of the debate is who should bear the extra silk tax. ”

"For today's plan, the student suggested that the material money in the salary of the soldiers under the hundred households could be transferred to fill the silk tax of the people, I don't know what the government thinks?"

The courtyard became silent again, and many unaware people looked at the sergeants standing around with some trembling, but they were very complaining about Liu Ximing in their hearts.

My God, the husband of the Liu family, you want to take away other people's military salaries in front of others, I'm afraid you're tired of it.

Zhang Licheng pretended to pull his beard, and said with some worry: "This matter is not impossible, but it will make the officers and soldiers of the army miserable, what should I do when the matter of defending the land is good?" ”

Yu Yongkai stood up in a six-grade cyan painted official uniform: "The officers and soldiers of the Shunqing Hundred Households are originally from the township, so they naturally have the responsibility of taking care of the township. ”

"Hahaha, a good one for a hundred households, your heart of love for the people and the heart of the fist is known, but in this way, it will be difficult for the soldiers."

Zhang Licheng and Yu Yongkai sang and harmonized in front of thousands of people, and the people in the city and some of the uninformed gentry were stunned.

Many people shouted on the spot, "What a hero, Lang Yu 100 households, the people of Nanchong County will give you an immortal tablet." ”
