Section 117 is full of evil
Cangzhao has undoubtedly had a huge influence on these hunters. As soon as Zhao Yue's identity was confirmed, they all smiled and cheered.
In their hearts, the little prince of Cangzhao personally promised that the good days in the future would be scored.
And Ji Sheng was reluctant to take refuge in Liangshan, but seeing the villagers like this, his eyes flashed and he didn't say anything. He is a native of Lianghuai, and he prefers to join the forces of his hometown. This is not the main factor. Another factor was that Zhao Yue only understood when he arrived in this small poor village hidden in the mountains.
"My son has been strong since he was a child, and at the age of six or seven, he helped his father go to the town to sell prey, but he was repeatedly oppressed, humiliated, and robbed by large families and errand servants, and hated the people in the government and the children of the eunuchs. Fortunately, the kind master who met him taught him skills. He was getting happier...... His father went to fight tigers to pay his taxes, but he fell off a cliff and died. My son is a good boy and takes on ......"
Katsukatsu's mother sighed and nagged to the gentle and friendly Zhao Yue about the painful and touching past.
Zhao Yue looked at Ji Sheng, who bowed his head and was silent, and instantly thought clearly in his heart: it turned out that the viciousness and stubbornness of this fierce man were cultivated by the anger and hatred that he had buried since he was a child. He was reluctant to take refuge in Liangshan, but his first choice was Liangshan, just for the safety of his mother. If he hadn't been involved by his mother, he would have joined the rebel group or killed the official and claimed the throne himself. How can I pick up my leak today.
Zhao Yue can't tell the truth to Jisheng now. Ji Sheng was reluctant, but because of his mother, he had to follow Zhao Yue.
The villagers all wanted to leave this disaster site as soon as possible and go to Liangshan to live a stable and happy life, so they were extremely motivated to move. There is also nothing to clean up in the homes of the poor. Zhao Yue said that don't take torn clothes, quilts or anything. The villagers pushed the grain and game and lifted the pot. Equipped with kitchen knives and other necessary tools on the way, I followed.
The children heard that they would have candy to eat and new clothes to wear when they went to their new home. There is a comfortable house to live in, and one by one is happy like the New Year. Tirelessly running in front of the team, shouting and cheering.
The villagers' originally desperate faces were now flushed with excitement.
The atmosphere undoubtedly affected the whole team. The guards were also full of energy, their waists were straight, and they were proud and grateful.
But when he was about to get to town, he broke the joy with a snap.
Several county officials stopped in front and glanced at Zhao Yue and his party on the horse, their eyes were suspicious, but their attitude was still stiff and arrogant.
"You dragged your family and moved things, this is trying to escape? You're so bold. Don't you want to die? ”
The other pressed the knife, shook the chain in his hand and shouted: "Resist taxes and run away, according to the law, you will show the public to kill your head." It is strictly controlled everywhere. Where can you escape? ”
The villagers were angry but habitually afraid. They all looked at Zhao Yue.
The big axe of Jisheng was pushing on the car, and at this time, he collected the murderous appearance, and watched coldly how Zhao Yue would deal with this situation without saying a word.
After all, paying taxes is the law of the country. As strong as Cang, Zhao did not dare to confront. Otherwise, if someone participates in a book, Zhao Gonglian will have to eat and hang.
How could Zhao Yue have the heart to take care of these dogs and villains.
Wang Nianjing beckoned to the meaty-faced official who was threatening with a knife, and when he hesitated to get closer, he smiled and said, "My son-in-law has a very beautiful whip, you promise you haven't seen it, do you want to see it?" ”
When the official heard this, he was frightened like a rabbit that had been shot, and like a potential burst of divine energy possession. A trip to the far away.
The ability to bounce and run surprised both Xu Jin and Wu Neng, who had the ability to scud.
Zhao Yue almost killed the murderous deeds of the head catcher of the first mansion, how long has it been.
The officials elsewhere may have long been left behind, and how could the two Huai forget.
The murderous little overlord should still be in Jianghuai, who knows where he will appear? The officials who went out on business, especially the old officials, were vigilant. For fear that he would encounter a murderous attack on the people, he would become the protagonist of the next deed.
These officials carefully examined Zhao Yue again, and Zhao Yue frowned slightly. Suddenly, these officials were frightened and instantly restrained their fierce appearances, and one by two was full of flattery.
The official just wanted to open his mouth to flatter. also used the tax law to warn Zhao Yue euphemistically, it is best not to interfere forcefully.
Wang Nianjing, how could he allow him to show off his lips and tongue and delay the time of his son.
He smiled and took out a grain of silver, saying one instead of one. It was less than a tael of silver at most.
"Paying taxes? This naturally has to be done according to the law. This is the tax money of these villagers this autumn, which of you has collected it, and you have made a receipt? ”
The officials looked at the small silver grains thrown up and down in Wang Nianjing's hands, and their faces were gloomy and ugly.
Fuck you, we're going to collect more than 300 taels of taxes from this village. You don't even pay a tael, so you want to clear your taxes? Even if we deduct the one hundred taels of benefits we added ourselves, it is far from enough. Are you forcing us to collect taxes backwards?
But he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Within the scope of Yang Jian's tax administration, all the people increased their taxes. But the reason why the mountain village of Sukatsu was taxed so heavily was because of the difference between hunters and farming. The harvest and tax ability of farming are basically dead, and there is not much flexibility in the good or bad of the year. No matter how forced the government is, the farmer has no more oil and water. Orions, on the other hand, have potential to be tapped. Under the pressure of heavy taxation, these hunters naturally went into the mountains to hunt desperately in order to keep their homes and people.
There are tigers and bears in the mountains.
Other game meat cannot be made very delicious in this era of limited cooking technology and conditions, and the price is not expensive. But tigers are different from bears' paws. This kind of play, up to the officials and nobles, down to the rich uncle, all love to eat, and they all want to eat it. Orions can sell for a lot of money if they catch one.
The government and corrupt officials are not blindly raising taxes. They were also afraid that the people would not be able to pay their taxes and live, so they would rebel en masse.
The scene was deadlocked.
Wang Nianjing's face sank: "Why don't you accept it?" ”
"Do you need Uncle Ben to tell you how the tax law of our Great Song Dynasty was formulated?"
The officials' faces turned pale in an instant.
The head of the official suddenly took the lead and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhao Yue, and howled in a crying voice: "Son, you are always a merciful immortal in heaven. These brothers are worms in the mud, and they shouldn't have stopped their grandfather. But if the villain fails to complete the task of collecting taxes, it will be a death. I beg the son to see that the villain is old and young, and the whole family is counting on the villain's life, so that the villain can pass this hurdle, right? ”
The other officials also kowtowed and begged, and one by one they wept bitterly with despair on their faces. Got some kind villagers to sympathize with them.
But Zhao Yue's hard-hearted heart will not fluctuate at all.
No matter how much mercy he has to give, he will not give it to these wolves who follow the evil tiger to eat people.
Wang Nianjing snorted coldly, interrupting the wonderful performance of the officials.
"Less fucking fuss. My son-in-law's time is expensive. Hurry up and get cashiers. Go back and tell your lord that the villagers can't afford to pay the autumn tax in this village. I handed it over on my behalf. If he felt that it was not enough, let him tell Yang Jiedu to bring troops to Liangshan to get it. ”
"Also, this village moved to Yangsan to work. The taxes they will have to pay in the future will also be settled by Liangshan.
The other officials complained bitterly. But the official was much calmer, kowtowed again, and then got up and made the receipt very neatly.
The officials watched this discordant procession of nobles and lows enter the town, and happily hired chariots to pull away the old men, women, and children who could not bear to travel long distances, and soon turned their eyes to the official. It's a big tax difference, but it's going to kill you. What can I do?
The officer threw away the money, looked at the new brothers who had just been replenished for a short time, and said, "We were not half killed by that little bastard, and we took his money, rejoice." When it is passed out, others will only praise us for our dedication and ability, and we dare to pull out our teeth. ”
The officials also admit it. But the key is the lack of tax revenue.
Head, I spent money to buy the shortage of officials because I wanted to get rich, but I didn't want to, and I didn't have the ability to fill this big hole.
The official was disappointed that he didn't get the expected money, but he was also a little proud, "It's good to have silver." Not much. Let's take it and have an explanation for the master. As for how to deal with Cangzhao, that's the above thing. It's about our little people. ”
Only then did the new officials understand the reason why they let Zhao Yue and his party go, and suddenly the clouds turned sunny, and the opponents were like a tide. In my heart, I said that I don't have to pay for it myself. The money that was not scraped can be obtained from other people.
The local prefect and Zhao Gonglian are both local dignitaries. But how dare ordinary state officials provoke Zhao Gonglian, a big man who has strong help inside and outside the court, and when he encounters this kind of force majeure, he will play a big shift to shift responsibility, and the local prefect has to report to Yang Jian urgently.
Break hands with Cangzhao, and let Yang Datou, who is in charge of the two Huai taxes with the army, come to play.
Who called him the initiator of heavy taxes, and his head was big enough and his shoulders hard enough to resist?
Yang Jian was repaid, and he was filled with resentment.
It's that little bastard again who provokes and slaps him in the face, damn it. I'm going to kill you...
After a long time, I was so tired that I foamed at the mouth and slumped in the chair, but in the end I didn't do anything.
One is that the tax for the loss of a small mountain village is nothing. Zhao Yue paid the normal tax, and what he did was legal and not excessive. The second is that Yang Jian is in an eventful and dangerous autumn at this time, and his fate may be reversed at any time, and he will enter the abyss in an instant, and he really has no energy to fight with a figure of Zhao Gonglian's level. He was even more afraid of revenge for this incident, which angered the Hou Ye, who was at the top of his luck, to jump out and lift his bottom and expose his skin.
Zhao Yue and his entourage went all the way unhindered, smoothly turned to the canal, put the villagers on the boat, and sent the hired car away. Zhao Yue freed up a horse for Yu Sheng to ride and practice, and rode the horse to Liangshan.
When they were about to arrive at Liangshan, Lianghuai suddenly came with the news of Yang Jian's violent death.
No one assassinated or poisoned Yang Jian. This time, it was Wang Qingbu who took the initiative to loot supplies for the winter, which caused chaos in the seven or eight state capitals of Huaixi. Without Huaixi's strong collection, it would be impossible for the autumn tax to complete the task, let alone make up for the past deficit.
Yang Jian saw that the deadline for the recovery stipulated by the emperor who valued the silver the most was about to end, and the silver was still more than half short, knowing that this fall from grace was inevitable, and the end was unimaginable......
Yang Jian's death was very happy.
It's really a delight. Even corrupt officials are happy.
They didn't have to complete the terrifying tax task assigned by Yang Jian, and they suddenly became relaxed. In addition, it is better not to make up for the shortfall that was previously lost. In this way, the people will have some spare energy to bear next year, and they can borrow taxes to earn more for themselves. (To be continued.) )
