Chapter 291: Lawlessness

Li Yang looked in the direction pointed by the villagers, and saw the direction of the village entrance, and sure enough, a group of messengers were rushing towards this side......

"There's no need to send someone to summon now, this man...... I sent it to the door. He Zhang sneered.

Li Yang snorted coldly, he wanted to see with his own eyes whether this Wanxian county order really dared to disobey the imperial court order, forcibly levy and collect, and bully the people. If he really dares to do this, then he will be severely punished to set an example!

Li Yang was really annoyed, he tried his best, and it was light forced labor, land reform, and the introduction of new crops, for what? Isn't it all about making the people of the world happier?

Especially on the issue of expropriation of new crop planting, the imperial court gave several times the compensation, but also in order to let the people who planted it get greater benefits and let them have higher enthusiasm and enthusiasm. As a result, the officials below were good, but they actually made the people who planted new crops suffer a big loss, and the farmers suffered a lot of water.

This is simply a big bad deal!

"Ladies and gentlemen, when the messenger comes, you might as well ask the official if you can keep one percent of the peppers for yourself, and whether the remaining ninety percent of the peppers will be levied at three times the number of acres!" Li Yang turned to the villagers.

The villagers pondered for a moment, and then someone said, "That's right, if what this little brother said is true, then we will lose a lot." ”

"Yes, yes, if we can keep one percent of these peppers, we can all make a fortune."

Opinions were unified, and everyone saw that there was a huge difference of interests between the two, so an old man nodded, and then said to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old guy: "Little stone, you hurry to the notification booth and let him come over quickly!" ”

"Okay, I'll go!" The young man immediately nodded and ran back towards the village.

…………

The guy was extremely fast, and it didn't take long for him to come back, and there was another person who came back with him.

Li Yang saw that the one who came back with the guy had actually seen it before, wasn't it the teacher who taught in the school?

Is this teacher the pavilion chief?

Li Yang and He Zhang were both stunned for a moment.

Sure enough, as soon as Mr. Jiaoshu arrived, the villagers said, "Pavilion Chief, this little brother told us that there is a huge discrepancy between the imperial court's decree on new crops and what the county government said. ”

When Mr. Teaching heard this, he turned his head to look at Li Yang and the others, and couldn't help frowning: "You haven't left yet!" ”

Li Yang made a gesture and said, "It turns out that Mr. is not only the gentleman of this place, but also the pavilion chief of this place, which is disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

The villagers on the side said: "Our pavilion chief is not ordinary, born in the aristocracy, erudite and talented, last year not only led everyone to defeat the county magnates, divided the fields equally, but also took the initiative to teach the children in the pavilion to learn this year." ”

Seeing that the villagers praised this pavilion chief so highly, Li Yang couldn't help but be impressed by this person, obviously this gentleman is dedicated to the people in the village, so he has such a high reputation and reputation.

However, hearing that this pavilion chief was born in a noble, Li Yang was a little curious, because the children of nobles are usually recommended as officials, why is this person still just a small pavilion chief?

Moreover, last year's land reform was aimed at the magnates, but listening to the villagers, it is obvious that this pavilion chief also led the villagers to fight against the local magnates.

Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn't help asking: "I don't know what kind of aristocratic background the pavilion chief is, dare to ask the big name?" ”

The pavilion chief didn't seem to have a good impression of Li Yang, so he didn't answer, but asked the villagers directly: "What did this person say?" ”

The villagers said: "He said that the imperial court decreed that chili peppers should not be levied by three times the weight, but by three times the grain per acre, and the villagers could keep one percent for themselves." ”

"What?"

This time, the pavilion chief was also surprised.

He looked at Li Yang in surprise, and then asked, "What you said is true?" ”

Li Yang said: "Of course it's true, the official messenger has already entered the pavilion, and you can confirm it with the official messenger later." ”

The pavilion chief glanced back at the messenger who had already entered the village, pondered for a moment, and said, "Spreading rumors with the imperial court decree is a serious crime, if what you say is wrong, have you ever thought about the consequences?" ”

Obviously, the pavilion chief was reminding Li Yang that this matter was very important.

Li Yang smiled: "What I say is the truth, what is there to be afraid of." ”

"In the next Zhang Liang, if what the little brother said is true, Zhang Mouding represents the people of Taoyuan Quanting, thank the little brother for telling him." Seeing that Li Yang had no fear, the pavilion chief couldn't help but have more respect for him.

"Zhang Liang?"

Hearing the pavilion chief report his name, Li Yang was stunned, and his eyes almost fell out in shock.

Zhang Liang, who was an outstanding strategist in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, a founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, a politician, and Han Xin and Xiao He were known as the "Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty".

Li Yang's face was full of shock, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence, in this small village, he actually met a cowman?

"Little brother knows me?" Seeing Li Yang's surprised expression, Zhang Liang couldn't help but wonder.

Li Yang hurriedly said: "Are you from Taoyuan Pavilion?" ”

Zhang Liang shook his head: "Zhang is the father of Yingchuan City, and he only came here at the beginning of the year. ”

Father of Yingchuan City, this is even more right!

As soon as he heard this, Li Yang hurriedly asked: "Is your father Zhang Ping, the minister of South Korea?" ”

"That's right!" Zhang Liang nodded again, his face showing a little sorrow.

However, seeing Zhang Liang nodding and admitting, Li Yang was overjoyed. Because the person in front of him is the awesome person Zhang Liang in history, that's right.

Now, he finally understood why the villagers just said that their pavilion chief was from a noble family, because Zhang Liang's grandfather Zhang Kaidi was re-elected as the prime minister of the three Korean dynasties during the Warring States period. His father, Zhang Ping, also succeeded him as the prime minister of the Second Korean Dynasty. By the time of Jang Liang, Korea had gradually declined. The demise of Korea made Zhang Liang lose the opportunity to inherit his father's career and lose his prominent and glorious status, so in history, he had the hatred of losing his country and family, and concentrated this hatred on one point - anti-Qin.

It's just that how could this guy be a small pavilion chief in this Taoyuan Pavilion?

"Brother Zhang is from Yingchuan, and he will always be the pavilion chief here?" Li Yang was very surprised.

Zhang Liang sighed and said, "Although I am from the Yingchuan clan, after the destruction of Korea, I moved to Wanxian. ”

The villagers on the side said: "Last year, Brother Zhang led the people of Wanxian County to respond to the land reform of the new policy, resist the powerful, divide the land equally, and make great contributions. Originally, it was allocated by the provincial yamen as the county order of Wanxian County, but it is a pity that the Ministry of Officials demoted Brother Zhang to our pavilion and served as the pavilion chief, alas! ”

Hearing this, Li Yang and He Zhang were stunned.

In response to the land reform of the New Deal, leading the people to resist the powerful and divide the land equally, this Li Yang knows that it is the people's land reform supervision team. At that time, after the success of the land reform, a large number of team leaders were promoted, because these people were leaders and supported the New Deal.

Therefore, Li Yang was not surprised at all when he heard that Zhang Liang led the people to divide the land equally, after all, this guy was a person who "made revolutions" in history. However, what surprised Li Yang was that he was promoted to the county order by the provincial yamen, why was he demoted to a small pavilion chief by the officials a year later?

Li Yang and He Zhang glanced at each other and felt that there was something wrong with this matter, so Li Yang immediately said: "Brother Zhang, why was you demoted?" ”

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's because of my family background, after all, my Zhang family has two generations, and they are all prime ministers of South Korea." ”

"That's it?" Li Yang's brows furrowed.

Zhang Liangdao: "Some people also told me that it was the official department who wanted to arrange his own people, so he squeezed me out, and the purpose was for this pepper base in Wanxian County." ”

Li Yang seemed to understand the reason a little.

Wanxian County has become a pepper cultivation base, and the pepper is fried in Xianyang more expensive than gold, the pepper is recycled, the county government only needs to leave the pepper seeds as seeds, and the pepper skin is dried, this dried pepper is a lot of wealth, this is a lot of benefits, and it is naturally remembered.

Thinking of this, Li Yang smiled, this is really unknowing, and he was shocked when he saw it. Being above the court, Li Yang really didn't think about the cultivation of new crops, but when he got down, it would become like this.

Not only did the officials not comply with the imperial decree to recycle new crops, but for this reason, they were able to directly demote a county order promoted by the provincial yamen to the pavilion chief, which was simply to the point of lawlessness!

He Zhang on the side was also extremely angry, scolded his uncle, and then said: "Today's county order, is it the person who is the secretary of the ministry?" ”

Zhang Liang nodded: "It is reported that Gongsun Rong, the county commander of Wanxian County, is the younger brother of Gongsun Jingshangshu. ”

He Zhang snorted lightly: "Heh, Gongsun Jing is really bold. ”

Zhang Liang glanced at He Zhang strangely, obviously not expecting that the person in front of him would dare to count the officials in the court like this. Immediately said: "This brother is cautious, if he is heard by someone with a heart, he will be burned." ”

He Zhang sneered: "Provoke the fire? Oh, I really want someone to come and find me in trouble. ”

At this time, Li Yang said: "Brother Zhang, do the provincial governors and county guards know about your demotion incident?" ”

Zhang Liang said: "I don't know about the governor, but the county guard does know, because the official document of the official department was handed over to me by the county guard, and the county guard told me the inside story." However, although the county guard also did not feel unfair for me, he did not dare to offend the officials for me. ”

Li Yang nodded, then turned his head to look at the official who was rushing towards the field, so he said to Zhang Liang: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, the court will pay you justice one day, and wait for you to fight for the legitimate rights and interests of chili pepper recycling from the officials." Remember, you can keep one percent for yourselves, and the other ninety percent will be compensated at three times the amount of grain per acre. ”

"What if they don't?" Zhang Liang obviously didn't have the slightest certainty.

Li Yang chuckled: "If you don't mention it, then you can only be slaughtered by officials." ”

The villagers nodded one after another: "Yes, what the little brother said is right, if the imperial court really has this kind of decree, how can we be bullied by the Gongsun County Order." ”

"I'll try it later!" Zhang Liang nodded.
