Wang Guo listened to Bian Que's introduction, and couldn't help but sigh again and again.

It's too much of a coincidence.

How can it be that by mistake, a village can be forcibly torn apart into two countries?

Originally, weapon fighting was the most troublesome thing between the vassal states.

And when this matter comes to Hongzheng Village, it is the same clan and two countries, and even the government is not able to make unified actions, so it is even more chaotic underneath.

The whole thing has also become much trickier than usual.

This was something Wang Guo didn't expect.

He can't control the Qi country's side, but he has to ask about the situation on the Hai country's side.

"The county government of Sumin City, don't you have anything to say?"

Bian Que sighed and said, "Harm, isn't this whole thing caused by the county government of Sumin City?" ”

Wang Guo was stunned: "What?" ”

Bian Que shook his head again and again.

"Originally, there were many wars in Qi this year, first with Lu and then with Hai, and the taxes were much heavier than usual. In addition, the lord of Sumin City and Xianzhou City is Tian Yong, the prime minister of Qi State, so it is the first place to contribute. ”

"That is to say, under the heavy taxes of Qi State, these two cities are heavier than the average city of Qi State. Even the next three years of taxes were collected early. ”

"Finally, I looked forward to the end of the battle, and as a result, Sumin City became the territory of the Sea Kingdom again. Do you think, can this Haiguo official recognize the tax you handed over to Qi State before? ”

"So Su Min City is like a leek, and it has been cut by the Sea Country again. That's why you can't eat fresh grain. ”

Wang Guo was stunned.

No wonder he can't eat good things. With such repeated tax collections, it is estimated that this bumper harvest will not be left for the peasants.

Bian Que continued: "But no one can fight against the collection of taxes, not to mention that Haiguo is the new master, and the locals also know that they can't refuse Haiguo by paying taxes to Qi State, so they basically give it, and there is no trouble." As a result, only when I received Hongzheng Village, something went wrong. ”

Wang Guo sat upright, knowing that the main topic was about to come out.

It seems that the weapon fight in Hongzheng Village is because of tax collection!

Moreover, this village is now distributed in the Qi Kingdom and the Sea Kingdom, and it is estimated that it is the group of people who suddenly surrounded themselves in that depression area before.

So Wang Guo listened very carefully.

Bian Que said: "Originally, on the side of Sumin City, taxes were levied according to the land area. The cultivated land in Hongzheng Village is all on the side of Sumin City in Haiguo, so Sumin City collects a complete tax. ”

"The task was apportioned, and Hongzheng Village also received it, and the villagers distributed in Sumin City also paid taxes as required."

"But the villagers who live in Xianzhou City of Qi State are gone."

"They had already taken back the grain to Qi Guo's own home, and they had to cross the Hai State's side and pay taxes to the Hai State, so how could they agree? Therefore, they resolutely do not hand them over, and the sea countries cannot cross the border to clean them up. ”

However, the villagers of Haiguo are even more reluctant. Because their taxes are paid by the whole village, and most of the villagers on your Qi side don't pay it, doesn't that make the taxes of the villagers on their side of the Hai Kingdom two or three times heavier? ”

"So the people of Xianzhou City, anyway, what do you like, Lao Tzu doesn't pay it, and the officials of Haiguo can't control them. The people of Sumin City also let out cruel words, the people of Xianzhou City will not come to pay taxes this year, and they will not come here to cultivate grain next year. Anyway, the land is in the hands of Su Min City. ”

"The more trouble got between the two sides, the more stiff it became, so a large-scale fight began."

After Bian Que finished, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

When Wang Guo heard this, he completely understood.

In vain, it is the Hai State that wants to collect a complete tax, and the part of the people who live in the Qi State does not want to pay the tax, which creates a contradiction.

But the key is that the widow didn't let the tax be collected?

Really, I don't know what the officials below are doing, does he look like a person who is short of money?

Thinking of the dilapidated appearance of the entire Sumin City, Wang Guo's heart is also very clear, eighty percent of this money has gone into the pockets of those officials!

This made Wang Guo very unhappy.

Damn, if you have the ability, you can be greedy for money!

The widow can't spend a bunch of good things, what's the matter with you going to squeeze the people in the jurisdiction?

"Divine doctor, I came from the city in the east, and I didn't hear the announcement that the Haiguo court was going to collect taxes along the way. Is this county order a corrupt official! Wang aisle.

Bian Que shook his head and smiled: "You, you still don't know our county order." Our county order, but the Qing official is a big man, it is impossible to be corrupt. There was a county magistrate who loved corruption before, but he was watched by our county order, and he never dared to act rashly. ”

"Not a corrupt official? Then he collected his taxes, where did he go? I didn't hear that the court was going to collect taxes. Wang Guo was even more confused.

"Hey, that's what you don't understand." Bian Magpie said. "The decrees of the court are sometimes not necessarily public. How could you just know it? ”

"The court has the plan of the court, and it's useless for you to ask so much. Aren't you idle and careless, wouldn't it be good to live your own life? Why do you ask about this everywhere and suspect that, it makes it look like a monarch has a private visit. ”

Wang Guo: ......

Okay, after all, it's too many people to ask.

……

Su Min City, the county Cheng family.

This county man's name is Tan Kuo, and he is also a local clan, and when he was in charge of Sumin City in the early years of Qi State, he embezzled a lot of money on his hands, so his family was very wealthy.

Now that Haiguo has promoted the county system, the power of the government has increased, although he has some clan background, but he can't get the county order, and he has nowhere to be greedy, so he has just been idle at home recently.

"Dad, I heard that there is another fight in Hongzheng Village, and the Ming County Ya is going to mediate, don't you want to take a look?" Tan Cao's son asked.

"See?" Tan Su sneered and shook his head, "Let him solve the matter that our county commander has come up with." Anyway, he can't get used to me, so I won't affect his old man's errands. ”

"Dad, why are you doing this? After all, he is your superior, and when the time comes, he will join you in a few copies, are you not afraid that this black gauze hat will be lost? The son was puzzled.

"Hehe, if you don't want to give up the black yarn hat, how can you climb up?" Tan mistakenly said, "Son, you are still young, you have to remember that there are some things, the more you want to grasp, the more you can't grasp them." ”

"Dad, I don't really understand."

Tan Shu straightened his waist and said, "That's it, who do you think I and the county commander are good officials?" Truth. ”

"Well, it's still the county order, after all, Dad, you are sometimes too ruthless, and I don't know where to spend my money." The son replied honestly.

"Hehe, the county commander is a good official, why is the construction of Sumin City getting worse and worse now?" Tan smiled slightly, "You go to the city to wander around, in addition to the little family money that your father and I bought for you, is there a good piece of this Sumin City?" ”

"Everyone scolds me, but the Sumin City in my hands can be regarded as rich. Why is it that in the hands of the county commander now, he is a good official, but Sumin City is about to collapse? ”
