Although Anmin County is located on the border, it is very prosperous, and many merchants pass through it when leaving the country. Although the Tang Dynasty strictly forbade the sale of grain to foreign countries, tea, silk and other goods were also very popular with the Turks. Merchants risked their lives to travel between the two countries, and naturally made countless profits.

Leng Feng whispered to Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, you see, this county alone, if the commercial tax revenue is normal, it can increase the revenue of the national treasury by nearly 500,000 yuan every year, and Datang borders many countries, there is definitely more than one such place, plus there are even merchants from Central Asia and Europe in the Western Regions. Do you think it is normal for the treasury to earn more than 2 million yuan last year? ”

Li Chengqian said angrily: "Of course it's not normal. ”

As he was talking, Leng Feng and the others followed the arrest into the county office.

It is said that the official does not repair the government, which has been fully reflected here, and the peripheral buildings of the county government appear to be dilapidated and in disrepair.

But when you get to the inner courtyard, it's different! The pavilions and pavilions are all exquisite and abnormal, and the most outrageous thing is that there is a tiger, a leopard, and a lynx in captivity in a corner of the yard. Looking at the pieces of meat in the cage, it was obviously a large piece of beef.

Even Leng Feng began to envy these fierce beasts, in Guanzhong, cattle are the same as people, they must be recorded, and slaughtering cattle without permission is a big crime. Even His Majesty the Emperor can only eat beef that has died of illness and is on sale. Leng Feng wanted to eat a meal of beef dumplings during the New Year, but he couldn't wait for the beef to be on sale, Li Erniu saw Leng Feng scratching his ears and cheeks, and couldn't bear it, so he went to the market and waved a stick casually, "accidentally" killed an old cow, although the meat is a little old, but it's also beef, isn't it?

The imaginary obese county lord is actually a thin middle-aged man, seeing that his short beard is neatly repaired, his waist is straight, and his brand-new satin clothes are extremely bright on his body. What a courtier! Compared with him, Wei Zheng's guy in a washed and white official uniform was simply disgraced to the imperial court.

"County master, these are the few people." Catch quickly hunched over, looking like a servile.

"Oh, let's send it to the warehouse in the western suburbs, there are still a few people who are missing to carry the goods."

The county lord made it clear to Leng Feng and the others in one sentence.

"County master, we just want to farm, we don't want to work." The three dogs hurriedly shouted.

"Workmanship? What do you do? Oh, where you are taken is indeed a worker, but it is a hard labor. Ha ha! ”

As soon as the county lord waved his hand, several catchers blocked the door with knives.

"If you know each other honestly as a hard worker, you can still have a bite to eat, if you don't know each other...... Hum. "Catch quickly brandished his knife, ready to slash.

The guy Sangouzi has a tendency to develop towards the route of the second gouzi actor, and at this time, he put his head on the ground and cried loudly: "My lord, didn't His Majesty the Emperor say that as long as the homeless people go out of the mountain, they can get registered and have land to plant?" Why do we do hard labor? ”

The county lord laughed: "Of course Your Majesty said so, but we don't have much good land here, so I will give it to you, what will my subordinates plant?" You have to know that in Anmin County, what the emperor said doesn't count, what I say counts! ”

"Presumptuous!"

Hearing such rebellious words, Li Chengqian immediately became angry: "Father, the emperor has clothes and food, just so that the homeless people can go out of the mountains and live and work in peace and contentment, I don't want a great cause to be destroyed by a villain like you!" ”

The county lord was frightened by Li Chengqian's title of "father emperor", and after a closer look, he immediately found the clue.

Where do homeless people have a pair of well-made shoes to wear? These people look embarrassed, but the clothes on their bodies are not something that homeless people can have.

"Prince Li Chengqian?" The county lord asked in disbelief.

"It's Lonely!" Li Chengqian raised his head.

The county lord just wanted to kneel on the ground, but after thinking about it, why! Just by virtue of their forty-odd unarmed people?

The bent knees immediately straightened, and the county lord sneered: "Since you said that you are the crown prince, what evidence do you have?" Hmph, even if you are the crown prince, do you still plan to go out alive to sue me? Come! These individuals are intent on rebellion! Kill them all for me! ”

Li Chengqian didn't expect that the confession of his identity not only did not work, but aroused the murderous intent of the county order, lifted the hem of his clothes, and pulled out the saber he tied to his thigh.

"Don't kill, live." Leng Feng held down Li Chengqian, who was going to fight, and commanded his subordinates.

However, more than a dozen people caught fast, and the members of the Xun team didn't even need weapons, so they took them down one by one, and the county order was also tied up and kicked to the ground, wailing.

"Master, what shall we do?" For the first time, Li Chengqian felt that he was so powerless, and he couldn't do anything with the identity of the crown prince.

"If there is a problem with the county order, then a state assassin is also guilty. It's not too far from the city of Fenzhou, and it's only a day's time to get there, so you should write to your uncle to interrogate the history of the Fenzhou assassination, and at the same time write to tell your dad what happened here......"

After listening to Leng Feng's words, Li Chengqian immediately went to the county order's study to look for pen and ink.

After writing the letter to his uncle and father, Li Chengqian thought about it and wrote another announcement:

"Taizijiao: The policy of appeasing the displaced people in Anmin County today has been changed by the villain, and it has changed beyond recognition. In the future, the policy will return to its roots. Lone once went deep into the mountains, ate and slept with the homeless, and experienced the grief of the homeless, so he ordered that the homeless people around Anmin County and those who went out of the mountains to live in peace would be exempted from paying taxes for another three years, and the craftsmen would be sent to live for them, without taking a penny. Those who have previously left the mountain and suffered persecution can go to the county office to receive compensation. Anmin County Order"

Writing this, Li Chengqian greeted him, and the three dogs immediately came in.

"Young master."

Li Chengqian knocked his head: "You go and ask what that damn bastard county order is called?" ”

"Oh, that guy, I asked just now, his name is Cui Buyun, and he is a side branch of the Boling Cui clan."

"Bolingtri?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise.

"That's right, he confessed, he bought the official of this county order......"

Li Chengqian was even more angry, and the last paragraph of the notice was scribbled: "(Anmin County Order) arbitrarily changed the policy of the imperial court, and harmed the people!" After tomorrow, please invite the people of Anmin County to gather in the county government and hold a public trial!! ”

The next day, Li Chengqian deliberately built a high platform at the entrance of the county government, and did not bring the prince's clothes, so Li Chengqian wore bright yellow clothes.

Li Chengqian's notice caused a huge sensation in Anmin County. After the literate businessman, the shopkeeper and others read the notice, and the villagers who heard the news all rushed to tell each other.

That's great! This county order was finally taken down by the crown prince! His Majesty the Emperor ordered the peasants not to collect taxes three times: not to collect taxes from places that suffered from natural disasters, not to collect taxes from places that suffered from military disasters, and not to collect taxes from newly registered displaced people.

Three income reductions: income reduction in poor areas, income reduction in new grain production, and income reduction in households without grain storage.

But when it came to Anmin County, although the emperor didn't collect it, the county order still had to find all kinds of excuses to collect taxes, and those who were dissatisfied were beaten badly!

Li Chengqian sat on the high platform, and when the villagers stopped coming one after another, it was already noon.

With a long sigh of relief, Li Chengqian stood up, and before he could speak, an old man wearing a high crown shouted in the audience: "Folks! This is our crown prince! Kowtow! ”

Suddenly, countless villagers and businessmen in the audience fell to their knees in chaos, and although the sound of kowtowing was chaotic, every time it was a real knock.

"Folks! Get up! I can't afford it! Li Chengqian yelled in a hurry, but his voice was muffled by kowtows from the audience.

After a long time, the people in the audience stopped kowtowing and stood up.

Li Chengqian dressed up and bowed his hand: "The vicious county order harms people, and the court knows nothing, so I am ashamed of the support and love of the people!" ”

The old man Zhou Hanshan, who wore a high crown, was a very famous former dynasty talent in Anmin County, and when he saw the prince arching his hand, he hurriedly knelt on the ground again: "Why did His Royal Highness the prince say this!" Anmin County is located on the border, communication is difficult, how can such villains be blamed on His Royal Highness the Prince, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has captured the corrupt official, it is for us to have another parent! ”

Li Chengqian stepped down from the high platform in a few steps and respectfully helped the old man: "Old gentleman, please get up, lonely and young, I used to bear the prostration of all the people because of the prince's royal status, how can I bear your prostration now, this is not to let the lonely die!" ”

Zhou Hanshan never thought that one day His Royal Highness the Prince would come to support him, and he was so excited that his beard was shaking.

Li Chengqian supported Zhou Hanshan and faced the people: "Cui Buyun is such a villain, it is not enough to calm the people's hearts if he is not killed, this person does not need to be handed over to the Criminal Department, this noon is coming, please take a look at how Lone cut off the head of this bastard!" ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian waved his hand, and Cui Buyun, who was tied up by five flowers, wailed and was carried onto the high platform by Sangouzi and others.

Li Chengqian pointed to Cui Buyun on the high platform and shouted to the three dogs: "Cut down this thief!" ”

Zhou Hanshan hurriedly grabbed Li Chengqian's hand: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we all know your intentions, but if you kill an official of the imperial court, even if you are the prince, you will be impeached by the official!" ”

Li Chengqian patted Zhou Hanshan's hand: "Old man, don't worry, Gu has sent a letter to his father yesterday and is willing to take all responsibilities." If you want to impeach, impeach! Alone for the people, clear conscience! As long as everyone can relieve their anger! ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian pointed like a knife and waved it down, the three dogs picked up the big knife, the knife fell in his hand, and Cui Buyun's head suddenly fell to the ground!

Although the scene was bloody, the people below cheered and cheered, and even raised their heads and shouted.

Zhou Hanshan covered his face and cried bitterly! With such a prince, he can't wait to repay Datang with broken bones!

Thinking of this, Zhou Hanshan broke free of Li Chengqian's hand, took off his robe, bit his fingers in Li Chengqian's exclamation, wrote the words "confession" on the top of his robe, and then wrote the name of "Zhou Hanshan" at the bottom.

Stretching out his hand to stop Li Chengqian's obstruction, Zhou Hanshan shouted hoarsely: "The prince is merciful, bear the responsibility for us, I, Zhou Hanshan, am not talented, and I am willing to bear the guilt with the prince!" ”

A businessman squeezed out of the crowd, bit his finger and wrote his name on Zhou Hanshan's robe and shouted: "I, Qin Han, am not talented, and I am willing to bear the guilt for the crown prince!" ”

Suddenly, the people bit their fingers, those who could write wrote their names, and those who could not write pressed their handprints on them.

Li Chengqian looked at this scene and burst into tears.

On the occasion in the court, although many ministers shouted that they wanted to take the blame for him, Li Chengqian knew that more ministers were just following the crowd, but the current scene was that the people were really thinking about him!
