Because of the five heroes in Woniu Village outside Chang'an City, Zhang Chengsi believed in Taoism and took refuge in Taoism.

Speaking of the Tang Dynasty.

Since the emperor wanted to convene a conference of the holy hands of the national teacher, the traitor Pei Yanling and the traitor Zhao Zan jointly wrote to the emperor Tang Muzong, saying that they would collect the poll tax from the people near Chang'an, and the court was in chaos for a while.

Because of whether this tax should be paid or not, several court leaders quarreled.

In Chinese history, the evaluation of Tang Muzong is that Tang Muzong was an emperor who could make money.

According to the general emperor, the world is his own when he ascends the throne, he can eat and drink, wear and sing, live a good life, and he can command the world and command hundreds of civil and military officials. According to reason, life should have reached the peak, and there is nothing missing.

It stands to reason that there shouldn't be any more moths.

But this Tang Muzong is different from the emperors of China throughout the ages, the world is already his own, he is already rich all over the world, and he still wants to be rich in the world.

Some officials wrote to the people to collect the poll tax, and the imperial court and the Tang royal family were quite generous.

Relying on this method to make a fortune, Tang Muzong was the first to think in his mind.

The world's taxes, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there is only one tax, agricultural tax, now because of a poll tax, the emperor has a lot of money, and tax collection is a good means of making money.

Tang Muzong actually thought like this, it is conceivable that it is reasonable to scold him in history.

At this time, there was already a fight in the Tang Dynasty because of the poll tax.

Then he wanted to summon these two ministers, in November of the third year of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor used the excuse that the court was spending a lot of money, and the world was not Da'an, so he specially summoned Pei Yanling and Zhao Zan, the two traitorous ministers.

Tang Muzong talked to the two of them, the traitor Pei Yanling and Zhao Zan were both household servants, who were originally working in calculations, and the household department was the department that managed finances, and they talked to the emperor fluently.

Especially that Pei Yanling, he is not as cautious as an ordinary official when he speaks, on the contrary, this person can still have the courage to tell jokes with the emperor.

Emperor Tang Muzong was very satisfied, and praised Pei Yanling for not being an ordinary child.

In ancient times, the emperor killed any minister in the court, and in the eyes of the emperor, any official was a child.

Silenced a lot of opposition.

The Tang Emperor was satisfied, but this Tang Dynasty is a world governed by people, and there are all kinds of people among these people.

In other words, Tang Muzong, the emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty, since he ordered the peasants near the capital to pay the poll tax, some people in the Chinese military hundred officials in Beijing ate the sweetness, and the emperor praised Pei Yanling, and some people took the lead in saying that Pei Yanling was a talent for the country.

Someone befriended Pei Yanling.

Taxes are a good way to make money, not only the emperor thinks so, but also some of the military officials under his command think so.

In addition, these two traitors were praised by the emperor, and the traitor Zhao Zan, Pei Yanling became popular for a while, I don't know what Pei Yanling thought in his head, and he came up with a tax for the emperor, called the interstitial tax.

In May of the fourth year of its establishment, the law on the collection of intershelf taxes was issued nationwide.

"Intershelf tax" is a kind of tax levied on people's real estate according to the area of land, the age of construction and the quality of the house, that is, the real estate tax. The first property tax in China was levied from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was not called property tax, but "intershelf tax". "間" means one or two rooms, referring to the number of houses; "Frame" refers to the two pillars in front and back, two frames are one, or refers to the number of houses.

According to the tax on real estate, in ancient times, Tang Muzong was the first, and in modern times, the Qing Dynasty also collected this tax.

In this year, Woniu Village outside the capital Chang'an City.

The five people in Woniu Village are just envious of the heroes and heroes, and it's okay to shake their heads and tails in the village, if they really become the king of the mountain, the five of them are already married, and Zhang Chengen's children are already six years old.

They really don't have the courage.

The imperial court ordered the whole country to levy the interstitial tax, and the prefecture and county governments across the country sent troops to notify.

In fact, because of the poll tax, some people inside and outside the court have already earned a lot of money.

The emperor thought of such a tax, and happily agreed.

The localities immediately sent down the soldiers to collect the intershelf taxes.

The emperor wants to collect taxes, people everywhere complain, the people are boiling, and even old mothers stand up and cry that the emperor is deceived by villains. scolded, there were traitors around the emperor.

Speaking of these five heroes, since the beginning of the fourth year of Jianzhong, Zhang Chengsi entered Taoism. Brother Wu is no longer talking about heroes and heroes every day, but researching whether Taoist believers can marry a wife and live.

Zhang Chengsi was amused and said to a few people, "What the master said is good, I believe in Taoism, I can't eat meat on the fifteenth day of the first month, and I can't live at home on a cloudy day when it's raining or snowing." ”

A few people laughed.

At this time, three fast horses came to the entrance of the village, and immediately sat three officers and soldiers in military uniforms.

The five of them were stunned for a moment, how could they come to the official army at this time when it was not the autumn harvest and there were no thieves.

It is said that the three horses and the official army rode straight to Woniu Village.

Arrived at the entrance of the village.

Brother Wu was talking under the locust tree at the head of the village at this time.

When these three people arrived, the five brothers knew each other, and they were the officers and soldiers who came to Woniu Village last year to notify them to pay the poll tax.

But these three people no longer recognize Zhang Chengde and the five.

"Is this the village of Woniu?" Someone in the soldier asked.

The five replied, "This is Woniu Village. ”

Among the three, the leader of the official army, "Where is the chief's house in your Woniu Village?" You will lead me. ”

The five of them looked at each other, but no one moved, Liu Xi, "Our buddies are discussing things, and we are not available." ”

The three officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, "We are soldiers from Gyeonggi Province, Gyeonggi Province of the Imperial Court, and we have something to do with you in Woniu Village." ”

Among the five people, Deng Chang hugged his fists at the three people, "It turned out to be the three military masters of the imperial court, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

The three officers and soldiers, "Where are you at home, and which of you can show us the way." ”

Liu Sheng, "Woniu Village is so big, who do you ask us to lead the way for you?" ”

The leading officer and soldier pointed at Liu Sheng with a horsewhip in his hand, "You go." ”

It is implied in the book that this is an experience to talk about, and when encountering this kind of thing, I personally think it is best not to fart, and whoever speaks at this time is VIP.

Brother five laughed.

The three officers and soldiers had never seen this kind of battle, and in their eyes, the rural people were honest and they were officers and soldiers, and under normal circumstances, basically, the peasants would be.

How do you know that these five people are not afraid when they see themselves, and they can laugh.

How did they know that these five people were the five heroes of the village.

Liu Sheng nodded, "Okay, I'll go." Of these five, he is cynical.

The three soldiers on the horse glared at Liu Yan viciously.

Zhang Chengde is a clear-headed person, and he looks at it coldly.

Five officers and soldiers sat on tall horses, weapons hung on the saddle bridge, and sharp blades hung from their waists.

I know that the three officers and soldiers are here for something. If you really want to quarrel, in that era, give you a knife, and then deduct you from a green forest grass reckless hat, you can't sue anywhere.

Zhang Chengde was afraid that things would make a big fuss, so he said to the three officers and soldiers, "A few military masters, a certain talent, I will lead the way for a few military masters." ”

Zhang Chengde knew that it was okay for his people to brag to each other, but if he really wanted to fight with the official army, he really wouldn't dare.

"Lead the way."

Zhang Chengde led three officers and soldiers to the village.

Some of the three officers and soldiers turned their heads to look at Liu Sheng under the tree, "Who is Zhang Cai talking to us?" ”

Zhang Chengde, "Which one do you say?" ”

"Zhang is the one I want to lead the way."

"He, he's a farmer from our Woniu Village."

The three officers and soldiers played an official tone, "This person is talking fluently, I don't think he is a good person, there have been thieves near Chang'an recently, and there are strangers in your village, you have to tell them as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Chengde, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Zhang Chengen also followed.

Zhang Chengde saw that the faces of the three officers and soldiers were not right, and he was afraid that the three officers and soldiers would misunderstand, so he explained to the three, "This is my brother." ”

Three officers and soldiers, "You lead the way." ”

Zhang Chengde saw that the three of them were not good-looking, so he went to take the reins of a horse and put it on a close, "It is my father in Woniu Village, and the three military masters came back to my Woniu Village and had dinner at my house." ”

It is implied in the book that these three officers and soldiers are all Gyeonggi Prefecture officials and soldiers of Gyeonggi Province.

The last time the imperial court levied a poll tax, the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture was not happy, and this time the imperial court wanted to collect the shelf tax, which was even more unhappy.

Therefore, this time, the imperial court wanted to levy the interstitial tax in various places, but he adopted a non-cooperative attitude, and he sent these three officers and soldiers to the three prefectures of Gyeonggi Province to notify him of the collection of the interstitial tax.

In the three counties near Gyeonggi, these three officers and soldiers slept in more than 20 villages along the way.

Sometimes, for the sake of notification, even the meal is too late to eat, so I am angry at this time.
