…

In the big tent of the Chinese army, he discussed with Liu Qi, Yue Fei and others until late at night, and Cai still returned to his sleeping tent.

Lifting the curtain of the door, Cai still found that Wang Sanniang, Liang Hongyu, Fang Baihua, and Chen Jingu were all asleep - they were all waiting for him to come back.

Seeing Cai still coming back, Wang Sanniang and Liang Hongyu immediately stood up, and then walked towards Cai Ying, Chen Jingu was half a step slower, but also stood up, only Fang Baihua hesitated for a long time, and finally did not stand up, but put his head aside, not daring to look at Cai Ying.

Wang Sanniang asked as usual: "Has the general eaten?" ”

Cai still said: "With Liu Qi, they have eaten in the big tent of the Chinese army." ”

When Wang Sanniang heard this, she no longer went to prepare food for Cai Ying, but waited with Liang Hongyu for Cai Ying to wash and take off his coat.

After Cai was still cleaned up, Chen Jingu suddenly said, "General, I want to talk to you." ”

Cai still listened, sat down on the chair, then patted his leg, and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Although on the surface, Cai is still teasing Chen Jingu, in fact, Cai still has profound intentions in doing so.

As long as Chen Jingu is willing to sit over, then the identities of her and Cai Ying are decided, and the conversation between them is not an equal conversation, but Chen Jingu is begging Cai Ying.

To put it bluntly, Cai is still training Chen Jingu.

What Cai still didn't expect was that Chen Jingu only hesitated a little, then walked over generously, and then sat down on Cai Ying's lap.

Although Chen Jingu's face was inevitably a little red, her unpretentious appearance and momentum, Cai still felt a little ashamed of herself, and felt that she was a little childish.

In order to hide his anger, and to see if Chen Jingu was really so calm, Cai still grabbed Chen Jingu's crisp and said, "Now we can talk." ”

Chen Jingu's cultivation was still hot in the end, and in the end, she was still ruined by Cai Ying, a hooligan—she still couldn't hold back to grab Cai Ying's hand in the end.

Just this one action that was so normal that it couldn't be normal anymore made Chen Jingu's momentum weaken, and she was suddenly a head shorter than Cai Ying.

Chen Jingu knew that "it's over, I can't talk to him on an equal footing." ”

But even so, Chen Jingu still had to seize this opportunity, and she tried her best to say to Cai still in a calm tone, "Can the general know the suffering of the southeasters?" ”

After beating Chen Jingu's arrogance, Cai was still as happy as if he had won a big battle!

At this time, Cai was still in the mood to talk to Chen Jingu, a very amazing woman.

Therefore, after listening to Chen Jingu's question, Cai still said, "I know." ”

Chen Jingu asked again: "Then does the general know what caused the suffering of the southeasters?" ”

Cai was still silent for a moment, and then said, "It's a heavy tax and a flower stone gang. ”

Actually-

Huashigang was only one of the reasons for the Fangla uprising.

Another important reason was that the taxes of the Northern Song Dynasty were too heavy.

The basic tax of the Song Dynasty was the land endowment, which included all the public land rental income of the imperial court, the land endowment of private land, and the land endowment of private residences, shops, and vegetable gardens in the city.

In addition, there are miscellaneous taxes in addition to the poll tax and various normal taxes.

(These levies, along with the practice of leviing them twice a year in summer and autumn, have been inherited since the late Tang Dynasty.) ）

However, the cost of maintaining the administrative and military system of the Northern Song Dynasty was much higher than that of the Tang Dynasty and even the so-called harsh Five Dynasties.

As a result, in addition to the regular tax, many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes had to be added. These include:

Hemai - Hemai was originally a kind of loan provided to farmers in the Northern Song Dynasty, which gave money to farmers in the spring and collected silk silk in the autumn in return. Later, the Northern Song Dynasty did not release money in the spring, and the silk was also collected in the autumn, which became one of the miscellaneous taxes.

Conversion - The Northern Song Dynasty sometimes converted the taxes in kind into other items out of practical needs, such as wheat with money, silk with money, and so on.

Transfer-means that farmers must transport the paid grains, silk, silk, etc. to the place designated by the government to pay, and if they want to change the place of payment, they must pay an additional transportation fee.

Boss money - refers to an additional fee paid when there is an account transaction with the government treasury. Once the tax is paid, it will inevitably be added to the head money.

In addition, in the southeast, the Northern Song Dynasty was even more profitable, collecting additional taxes on the two Zhejiang provinces during the Wu Yue Kingdom era - roughly every 10 acres of land was levied on 16 acres of land.

Even so, because of Zhao Ji's extravagance, arrogance and lasciviousness, the finances of the Northern Song Dynasty still could not make ends meet.

This led to the fact that the Northern Song Dynasty adopted the method of borrowing and spending outside the regular system, that is, borrowing taxes from next year to the next year in advance, and even borrowing and spending seven or eight years later.

Under such oppression, the people of the southeast have been suffering from exploitation for a long time.

However, the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty continued to deteriorate with the growth of the years.

In such a dangerous situation, the phenomenon of greed for ink from top to bottom in the bureaucratic system has become the fuse that ignites the barrel of explosives.

Plus the last boulder that crushed the camel's back.

The people of the southeast really can't survive.

Then the Fangla Uprising broke out.

Seeing that Cai still knew so much about the situation in the southeast, Chen Jingu was still more expectant to Cai.

But Chen Jingu didn't show it, but asked, "Does the general have a way to save the southeast?" ”

Of course, Cai still has a way.

The southeast has become the sheep raised by the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as the Northern Song Dynasty has no money, they will come to the southeast to cut wool.

When you meet those emperors who can live, let the southeast rest and recuperate, and then slowly cut the wool, the sheep don't hurt, and the Northern Song Dynasty can live well.

But it's a pity that today's emperor is Zhao Ji, who is ignorant of thrift, especially likes extravagance and waste, and is extremely poor and extravagant.

What's more, Zhao Ji not only knows no thrift, especially likes extravagance and waste, poverty and luxury, but also rejoices in his achievements, and he has never been able to let go of the curse that affected the Northern Song Dynasty in recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun.

As a result, the sheep in the southeast has to be cut all the time, even directly woolen.

This is the general trend.

Unless it's a different shepherd, there's no solution.

But now Cai still can't say this, so he can only say vaguely, "Abolish the Suzhou and Hangzhou Bureaus and suspend the operation of Huashigang, depose Zhu Mian and other corrupt officials, reduce or exempt taxes in the southeast, and let the people in the southeast recuperate." ”

Chen Jingu, who was sitting in Cai Ying's arms, clearly heard Cai Ying's words and his heartbeat became faster, and then knew that Cai still told a lie, at least it was not true.

Chen Jingu hesitated for a moment, then leaned into Cai Ying's ear and said, "Your heartbeat is speeding up." ”

Cai still said secretly, "Grass, forget that this girl is a miracle doctor." ”

Seeing that Cai still didn't deny it, Chen Jingu's eyes brightened, she leaned on Cai Ying's ear, and said, "Can you take Fang La's instead?" ”

Cai still heard this, and suddenly without warning, he pressed Chen Jingu to his lap and beat him up.

No one in the tent expected that Cai would still suddenly teach Chen Jingu a lesson.

Fang Baihua subconsciously wanted to save Chen Jingu!

But as soon as Fang Baihua moved, Wang Sanniang and Liang Hongyu sandwiched Fang Baihua in the middle!

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

From Wang Sanniang and Liang Hongyu's instantaneous reactions, Fang Baihua judged that Wang Sanniang and Liang Hongyu were also masters.

This made Fang Baihua a little hesitant how to make a move, whether to make a move?

During the time when Fang Baihua was hesitating, Cai still had finished beating Chen Jingu, and then pointed to the corner in the distance and said, "Go there and reflect." ”

Chen Jingu listened to this, covered her fart, lowered her head, and walked to the corner to stand.

But no one noticed how bright Chen Jingu's eyes were hiding at this time, they were never brighter, and she secretly rejoiced, "He didn't deny it!" ”

At this time, Cai still said to Fang Baihua, who was still hesitant and withdrew his feet, "Come and sit." ”

Fang Baihua was not as happy as Chen Jingu, she hesitated for a long time, and still couldn't move forward.

What made Fang Baihua angry was that Cai still didn't urge her, just waited quietly for her to make a decision.

Fang Baihua felt that Cai was still humiliating her, she wanted to rush over and fight with Cai still again, even if she was killed by Cai Zhen, it would be better than suffering this kind of torment!

But in the dark, another voice said to Baihua, "Nothing happened between you and him, is there still a sit?" Besides, Chen Shishi is sitting, what can't you sit? ”

After hesitating for a long time for tea, Fang Baihua moved his heavy steps to Cai Ying, and then looked at Cai Yan condescendingly.

Fang Baihua thought to herself, "Why do I have to listen to you? I'm going to be in charge of my own destiny! ”

Cai still glanced at Fang Baihua, and then patted his leg.

Fang Baihua's body seemed to be out of his control, and slowly sat on Cai Yan's lap.

Fang Baihua was a little broken, and she shouted in her heart, "Why? I obviously don't want to! ”

But Cai still didn't seem to humiliate Fang Baihua enough, and even said to Fang Baihua, "Lower your head, I hate your condescending appearance just now." ”

I don't know what magic Cai Yan's voice has, as soon as Cai Yan's voice fell, Fang Baihua's arrogant head, which had never been lowered to anyone, really slowly lowered.

Fang Baihua felt ashamed, she wanted to reach out and twist Cai Ying's neck, just like she had broken the necks of those Song army soldiers.

But Fang Baihua's hand couldn't reach out, even if she ordered her hand over and over again in her heart!

At this time, Cai Yan's voice suddenly softened, "How is your body, are you okay?" ”

In fact, Fang Baihua didn't understand what Cai still meant by asking, she just instinctively responded softly, "Hmm." ”

Cai still said again: "Then can you still sleep tonight?" ”

Fang Baihua almost shook her head into a rattle in her heart, but in reality, she nodded her head lightly and said "um" lightly.

Seeing this, Cai still listened to the words, directly picked up Fang Baihua by the waist, and then walked to the side of the bed......

Fang Baihua's heart suddenly cooled, "I'm done......"
