If it's just Yan Day, the prince of the prison state, who has done something 'misbehaving' in private, for the people of Fengjing, it is at best just some palace scandals, and it is not a little more attractive than the lace trails of those corrupt officials;

As for the fact that the prince is now raising taxes wantonly and collecting money to repay debts, although it will definitely have a great impact on the economic situation in Fengjing, after all, it is only those businessmen whose interests are affected at the moment. For the current people, apart from the fact that they do feel some inconvenience in their daily lives, they do not feel any special changes. After all, the complicated 'new tax law' will not be officially implemented until tomorrow. Since the knife hasn't been cut on the body yet, who knows exactly what kind of pain it is?

Most of these ordinary people living in Youbei Third Road, since the generation of their ancestors, are in the homeland of Nankang or Beiyan, and they really can't fill their stomachs; The reason why they dragged their families to this bitter cold place is also with the mentality of changing to a new environment and working hard to get rich. Such a person, as long as there is still a way to live, then no matter how unfair treatment he receives, it is absolutely impossible for him to take risks, let alone become some 'early bird'.

It's a pity that these homeless people who are willing to swallow all the pain and humiliation for the sake of their family's survival are finally forced to a dead end by the stunned Flying Tiger soldiers.

Of course, the people didn't know that this temporary 'tax increase and levy' operation was, to put it bluntly, just that Wei Ying was trying to grab some laborers who didn't need silver and help them clean the Fengjing Mansion that 'no one should approach'. This matter could not be the norm, nor could it be officially ordered by Zhang Huangling or Yan Day; Even, as long as those idle farts in the market are no longer so boring, there will be no next time.

But the 'King of Lin Yan' who was executed on the street, and the neighborhood lady who had a chest pain, could no longer open their eyes. And today's events, as if they had grown wings, spread throughout Fengjing City. Some are angry, some are frightened, some are complaining, some are sneering; Anyway, there was nothing to do, so everyone hid in their own homes, chewing on the recent 'eventful autumn' in Fengjing City. None of them could understand how Yan Day, the greedy and ruthless prince of the prison country, wanted to lead the three roads of Youbei to what extent!

When Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt was in power, although there was also a 'greedy and cunning' Li Deng in the court, the life of ordinary people could be regarded as plain and plain; but even the imperial horse supervisor who everyone heard of at that time had changed his color, and his methods of doing things were far more regular than now.

The word "rules" originally referred to the two types of drawing tools for drawing circles and squares, as the saying goes, "there are no rules, you can't form a square circle", which is exactly what it says. To put it mildly, the word rules can be the law of the imperial court; To put it mildly, the word rules can also be everyone's code of conduct. No matter what kind of identity or what kind of person makes a living, as long as they do 'break the rules', they will end up with a 'despicable and disallowed by the industry'.

Whether it is Wei Gui or King Lin Yan, or even the old woman who died today, even if they fabricate some charges at will, and then Lord Yin Wei of Fengjing Mansion shows his head, interrogates him in front of the people of Fengjing, and finally cuts off his head outside the south gate, he can't stir up the slightest wave at all; Maybe the onlookers will call their friends and come in groups to watch this 'aftershow'!

This is not indifference, but the power of 'rules', or 'court laws'. As long as the name is right, or even just seems to be 'right', the people will uphold the mentality of 'more things are better than less', and make a few comments at will, and after a few days they will be forgotten.

However, the three deceased have not been charged with any crime recently, nor have they been sentenced by Lord Wei, whether reasonable or unreasonable. The three of them were killed alive in full view of everyone! It's not just a question of 'incompatibility with the laws of the court,' it's a clear idea that they are going to re-establish a 'new rule'! And the 'final interpretation right' of this rule is completely in the hands of Yan Tian alone.

The 'old Youbei people' in this life are themselves the descendants of the displaced people of other countries, and there is no 'loyalty and patriotism' in their bones, let alone their attachment to the countryside of Youbei Third Road. There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here! Since this Youbei Emperor doesn't do any work, it's a big deal to sell the belongings he has saved over the years, pack up his baggage, take his family, and continue to live in a different place. Since the ancestors were able to run to this place where birds don't in order to live, of course they can also run to other places for a stable life. It's just a matter of tossing and turning, and I really can't do such an extremely dangerous 'trouble' thing as lifting the head of the whole family.

However, after several generations of hard work, these displaced people finally took root in Fengjing, the capital of Youbei, and the wealth of most of the people for several generations has been tied to the two "white papers" called "house deeds and land deeds"; if they want to leave Youbei to avoid trouble, the first problem they have to face is to pawn the real estate and acres as soon as possible!

Originally, these errands were handled by those people from the north and south who were under Qi Hui's hands. Although it is inevitable that some 'head' will be removed, firstly, their credibility is guaranteed, and secondly, the realization is fast enough, and the people usually pinch their noses and admit it. But recently, instead of doing business, these tooth people have followed them and sold all the real estate and acres near Fengjing City at a low price. In this way, the small dilapidated houses in their hands will naturally be even more difficult to get rid of.

The house leak coincided with the overnight rain, and the weasel bit the sick duck! The people who wanted to leave Youbei went to the street to inquire, and then they knew what a grim situation the 'economic situation' in Fengjing City had become. In less than two days, all the big businessmen had closed their doors, and the common people who had been working in the shops had been sent home. Before leaving, the benevolent and righteous proprietors also paid an additional severance pay; The less virtuous ones didn't even say hello to the guys, and disappeared quietly.

As soon as evening came, the respected elders of the various families and courtyards in the city gathered together in groups to discuss the joint tax resistance tomorrow. Frankly, it's not a good idea, but it's a last resort. Everyone understands one thing in their hearts: this tax is no longer a question of whether they are willing to pay it, but now there is no work to be done on the street, and everyone can no longer afford to pay it! If tomorrow in the face of the ruthless characters of the Flying Tiger Army who want to kill people, they will also spread their hands, and then return to the last sentence of 'no', then Aunt Hao, who died tragically in front of her house today, is an example of each of them!

"At the beginning of the morning, at least one man from every household will gather on the street of the river with some of the long men who have taken advantage of it. The women made some food in advance, found a few sturdy ones, and followed the big guys with their flat poles. ”

The person who spoke was an old man with a high reputation among the people of Fengjing. When he was young, he was originally a bookkeeper in charge of the accounts in the government office, and his family was well-off and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, he lost his wife at an early age, so he had no heirs. When he was older, his eyes were too big to continue to manage the accounts, so he opened a 'Tongmeng Hall' at home to teach some children from poor families literacy and arithmetic for free.

At this time, in the 'Tongmeng Pavilion' he opened, all the industry leaders who came were well-known in Fengjing City. Of course, Shen Gui, the 'young leader of the beggar gang', was also called here by an invitation by virtue of his identity as Wu Chengfeng's successor.

Hearing what the old man said, a middle-aged woman with a rather strong figure stood up with a 'rub', walked up to the old man, first bowed, and then said politely:

"Of course we believe Mr. Xu, whatever your old man commands, we will do everything. But aren't we going to fight against the imperial tax? Why do you need to make a few flat shoulders to eat? Mr. Xu, you have a solid family, you may not know yet, right? In this day and age, no one is very rich in food, and they will eat a little less...... Old ghost, why are you always dragging me, I don't have any opinion on Mr. Xu! He has been teaching our little gold treasure for more than two years, and he has never asked our family for a copper coin, but this matter is all in my heart! I just want to ask Mr. Xu to understand why he is doing this, so that we can be more sure! ”

The old man, known as 'Mr. Xu', waved his hand at the middle-aged man who was dragging his own woman, smiled and said:

"Don't drag her, she asked this question well, and she should ask it too! My old Xu has lived for such a long time, and I don't dare to say that I will benefit the neighborhood and township on weekdays, but my mother-in-law left early, and I didn't leave a son and a half daughter. The reason why I asked everyone to bring some food and gather with them on Hezhong Street is to meet with Master Ni on Nanmen Street and the descendants of Sanbei Academy! This time, everyone heard me clearly! As long as they don't retreat, we people must not take half a step back! If their court minions want to kill people, I, Xu Yanhua, will be the first to go up! The old man has lived for so many years, and he has already lived enough! This time, I want to use my old life to discuss the word 'reason' with their Yan family! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yanhua knocked the stone slab on the ground with the wooden staff in his hand, and looked at the sky in the direction of the palace with extremely firm eyes.
