Chapter 82: The county order appears
Yin Xian was very happy, very happy, because he was already the commander of Chicheng County.
Looking at the county order, no, the former county order's honor drive went farther and farther, and Yin Xian wanted to shout happily. After many years of daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law, this feeling is really enjoyable. Huang Fat Man is righteous enough, and he didn't forget to promote himself to take over as the commander of Chicheng County, and he followed him for so long in vain. Although it cost thousands of taels of silver, it was worth it.
Yin Xian knows Huang Ling too well, and he is insatiable, even if he leaves to promote his cronies, he has to scrape a sum of silver. So after Yin saw Huang Ling's eyes full of meaning, he immediately understood what Huang Ling meant. Yin Xian paid a thousand taels, but Li Wang paid a full two thousand taels, and the post of county order still fell on Yin Xian's head, which made Yin Xian still read Huang Ling's good.
Looking at Dong Zhuang, who was a little sluggish, Yin Xian felt happy from the bottom of his heart, "Dong County Lieutenant, Huang Countyγγγγγγ Huang Beijia has already gone far, let's go back. The county still has something to discuss with County Lieutenant Dong. Come on, go back to the county office! After speaking, he didn't care about Dong Zhuang, waved behind him, got into the sedan chair, turned around and walked back.
Dong Zhuang didn't seem to hear it, his eyes stared at the yellow fat man's car until he disappeared, and he felt like laughing in his heart. The two have been fighting for so many years, Dong Zhuang has always been at a disadvantage, and now that Huang Ling is gone, he no longer has to look at Huang Ling's eyes to act, Dong Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief. But thinking about what Huang Ling did in Chicheng, now that he is actually promoted to another driver, he really wants to make Dong Zhuang look up to the sky and laugh.
The Chicheng County Ya is still the same, and it can't be seen that the owner has changed at all.
Yin Xian sat on the seat of the county commander, wearing a dark green seven-grade county magistrate robe, with a brand-new black veil on his head, his face was full of solemnity, but he also had a bit of official authority. As if he wanted to figure out the material of the official robe on his body, or couldn't believe that he was already the leader of a county, he kept stroking the fabric on his chest with his hand.
He looked at the county lieutenant Dong Zhuang, the new chief bookkeeper Wang Ming, the money and grain master Huang Qianqiu, the criminal master Li Chengshan, the arsenal Li Danian, the teacher Deng Wen and other former colleagues and current subordinates sitting in the guest seats, and couldn't help but be complacent.
"Huang County Ling is promoted, and he still cares about us very much. Huang Bei made a special explanation before leaving, and this year's tax in Akagi will rise by 30%. Yin Xian leisurely stroked his sparse goatee, pretending to be official.
In fact, Huang Fatzi just asked him to increase his tax by 20%, and he added another 10% privately. As for this success, one is that he wants to make up for the loss of filial piety to Huang Ling, and the other is that when the new county order comes to power, he has to buy a few decent clothes, right?
"Lord Yinγγγγγγ Lord Prefectural Order, it has been 50 years since the tax payment in Chicheng County was received, and now the people are poorly clothed and hungry, and ninety percent of them have become refugees, where can they go to collect food? The anger in Dong Zhuang's eyes had already begun to burn, but he didn't expect this thin man to be even more greedy and vicious than the fat man.
"Dong County Lieutenant is bad, the ninety percent is without any oil and water, but there is no remaining one percent that is so rich that it flows oil." Wang Ming, the new chief bookkeeper, smiled slightly, and sold it a little.
Hearing this, Wang Ming, Huang Qianqiu, Li Chengshan and others all frowned. Even Dong Zhuang looked at Yin Xian in surprise. Who doesn't know
Who is one out of ten in Dao Chicheng County? Li Wang and Huang Yin are everyone, he Yin Xian is the head of the Yin family, the Huang family is Huang Ling has left Chicheng, and the other is the Li family and the Wang family, there are people on top of these two families, and Yin Xian does not dare to touch these two families.
They have less than 10% of the population of Chicheng County, but they occupy more than 90% of the land. And they never pay taxes, and all the taxes on their heads are borne by the tenants under their jurisdiction. Do you have to ask these people to come up with this year's taxes?
Dong Zhuang shook his head, thinking about it ridiculous.
Everyone didn't know what Yin Xian meant by this.
Everyone present had different expressions, only Yin Xian'an was sipping tea steadily, and his expression was calm.
"I heard that nearly 5,000 people in our county have been abducted from Qinjia Village, is it just enough for that number?" Yin Xian smiled again and said proudly.
"Huh" Li Wang and the others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, really afraid that this immoral Yin Xian would say something that would make them pay for it. Although they will never take out one or two, everyone is an official person, so it doesn't look good when pulled like this, right?
For a while, there was a voice of approval of the levy of taxes to Qinjia Village in the hall.
Dong Zhuang frowned, Qinjia Village had already been squeezed dry, could it be that he couldn't even eat the bones? Those were all refugees, and no one paid attention to them when they needed relief, and it was Qin Forget who helped them. Now that they can finally survive, these people come to collect taxes again, how black can these people's hearts be?
"Lord County Commander, most of the people in Qinjia Village are old and weak, and it is still difficult to be self-sufficient, where can they get the money and food? Besides, Huang Beijia had already promised to only collect forty percent of their taxes when he was there, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be untrustworthy, right? Dong Zhuang knew that opposition had no effect, but he still said stubbornly.
"Forty percent? That's right, Huang Beijia agreed, but don't forget, this is the gang of people who want to blackmail Lord Huang with the matter of sending auspicious rui, and this move is already a rebellion. Lord Dong has always taken good care of Qinjia Village, could it be that there is something that can't be done? Hearing Dong Zhuang's objections, Yin Xian stared at Dong Zhuang coldly, and a rebellious hat was mercilessly buckled.
"That is, a group of Diao people gathered thousands of people for no reason, and I think they want to rebel. His subordinates implored your lord to send troops to suppress the rebellious people. Huang Qianqiu was even more ruthless, directly putting thousands of innocent old and weak to death.
Yin Xian didn't answer Huang Qianqiu, but just stared at Dong Zhuang with a vicious gaze. Repression? Joke, what did the five hundred county soldiers without Dongzhuang suppress? Besides, there is an aunt and grandmother there, who dares to suppress it?
"Master Dong, is there any difference?" Yin Xian was in hot pursuit.
Everyone quieted down and looked at Dong Zhuang with mocking eyes. What if you have 500 county soldiers? Which family here doesn't have a few hundred private families? Even if the combat effectiveness is not as good as yours, but the three families together have thousands of people, and the ants bite the elephant to death, and still crush your Dong family into powder.
Dong Zhuang felt like a monkey being visited at this time, and the huge humiliation made his body tremble slightly. But what others rely on is exactly what he is worried about. At this moment, his heart erupted with a desire for power that he had never felt before.
He suddenly remembered that Ding Chen asked him if he wanted to be Huang that night
Ling asked him to attack Qinjia Village, what was he going to do. I didn't expect Ding Chen's words to come true, and it would come so quickly.
"I, Dong Zhuang, am upright, so naturally I don't dare to rebel, and I can't be framed casually." Dong Zhuang's face sank, and he stepped up coldly. He was originally an arrogant character, he didn't pretend to Huang Ling, and he didn't care about these little people.
"Hehe, Lord Dong has such a big temper!" Yin Xian's face also darkened, the new official took office three times, and he was still worried that no one would punish him to establish his authority, but Dong Zhuang put his head on the muzzle, "Lord Dong, I will also give you a solid explanation, this matter was arranged by Huang Bei before leaving, you have to do it, and you have to do it if you don't do it." I can't do anything with you, but Huang Beijia's order, you Lord Dong have to listen to it, right? β
Dong Zhuang's agitated mind calmed down suddenly, Huang Ling is gone, but he was promoted, and he was still able to manage the big and small in Chicheng.
"I can only do my best in this matter, there is no money and food in Qinjia Village, I can't take someone's life." Dong Zhuang took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice.
"You still don't understand that collecting taxes is a trivial matter, and the key is to bring Miss Huang back. Remember, do whatever it takes. Seeing that Dong Zhuang softened, Yin Xian also lowered his posture slightly.
"You don't know Miss Huang's temper, if she doesn't come back with me, can I still force him with a knife?" Dong Zhuang asked with a bitter smile.
"That's not easy, then kill, if Miss Huang doesn't come back, you can't kill the people in Qinjia Village? Kill a few more Miss Huang and you'll definitely come back. This county has known Miss Huang for not a day or two, and understands her temper. Yin Xian said coldly.
"Lord Yin, you also know my relationship with Qin Wang, do you want to trap me in injustice?" Dong Zhuang was really hot this time, looking at the undisguised murderous aura in Yin Xian's eyes.
"You, what are you going to do?" Looking at Dong Zhuang's eyes, Yin Xian was slightly panicked in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but dodge Dong Zhuang's murderous eyes.
They are all natives of Chicheng, Yin Xian has known Dong Zhuang for one or two decades, and he knows Dong Zhuang too well. This man became a soldier when he was young, and he has been fighting on the battlefield for seven or eight years, and he is definitely not a character to mess with. Now it seems that he is enduring everything, but Yin Xian understands that the longer he endures, the heavier Dong Zhuang's killing intent will be. If it does erupt, it won't be done by killing one or two people. He also understands that Dong Zhuang attaches the most importance to affection, and he has endured so hard for his brothers all these years, and now he is really guilty of his taboo by letting him shoot at his brothers.
"Master Dong, you have thought about it, if you attract the Yunzhou Prefecture soldiers to kill you, your five hundred county soldiers are really not one." Seeing that Yin was a little afraid of Dong Zhuang, Wang Ming drank saliva without changing his face, and said coldly.
"Yes, yes, Master Dong, you can think about it, if it really causes Huang Beijia to be angry and send troops over, we won't be able to eat and walk around." Yin Xian started talking, and hurriedly said half-persuasively and half-threateningly.
The murderous aura on Dong Zhuang's body dissipated all of a sudden, and he suddenly felt that Huang Ling was simply his nemesis, no matter whether Huang Ling was there or not, he could crush him to death.
"Subordinates obey!" Dong Zhuang squeezed out these four words from between his teeth.
