Similarly, before the imperial court approved the construction of a patrol courtyard in Lizhou, Wei Gao also asked that Xichuan should also build a big patrol courtyard in Mianzhu, Hanzhou, so as to facilitate docking with Xingyuan Mansion.

Du Huangshang asked that we in Dongchuan should not be left behind, and we should also build a big patrol courtyard to connect with Xichuan and Xingyuan.

Liu Changqing, the observer of Banan, asked very tacitly, we Banan also have to build a patrol hospital, otherwise how to connect with Xichuan, Dongchuan and Xingyuan?

In the political hall of Daming Palace, Dou Shen was so angry that his beard blew up, "Three rivers and two tax envoys, just set up a special inspection court, why bother a lot, what is the intention of covering so much?" Fei Tang told this group of yang and yin violators, everything is waiting for the judgment of the imperial court. ”

Later, Dou Shen hurriedly appointed Pei Yanling, the Shaoqing of Sinong, and asked him to go to the northwest and Sanchuan as soon as possible to inspect the Zhuyi Road for transfer, and then finalize the address of the two tax envoys.

However, in the center of the court in this era, the efficiency of the local government is not optimistic.

So before Pei Yanling set off, Wei Gao, Du Huangsheng, and Gao Yue's watches flew in alternately, all talking about the advantages of the patrol hospital being located in this town, showing superhuman enthusiasm; Then the king of Pu in the northwest town also came to join in the fun, saying that he would build a big patrol courtyard in Baili City.

For a while, Dou Shen was anxious, and even the emperor was alarmed, so he sent a lieutenant official to ask him: "Now that the northwest and the land of Sanchuan are in turmoil, is it not because Qing wants to set up two tax envoys?" ”

As a result, before Dou Shen could explain clearly, Gao Yue in Xingyuan Mansion came out of the public office, and transcribed it in a prominent position in the "Xingyuan Di Newspaper" as it was, and the whole city was sold and posted, and the public office clearly said that our Xingyuan Mansion "Two Taxes Patrol Courtyard" should be built in three places, one in the Fengzhou return lane, and Fengxiang Mansion docked; one is at the mouth of the Fushui River in Yangzhou, which is connected to Gyeonggi; There is also a place located in Jinggu, Lizhou, which is connected to the two rivers.

The three courtyards required a total of 440 rooms, three warehouses, and 120 ships, and the costs of timber, bricks, lime, leg strength, utensils, and human skills, which together required a total of 570,000 yuan.

Immediately, Gao Yue sent archers to "invite" 73 households in Nanzheng County and Chenggu County, most of whom had previously gone to Beijing to argue.

This group of people sat and knelt on the ground in the hall of the government office, and Gao Yue in the hall sent a special book, saying that the construction of the patrol hospital must be carried out vigorously and resolutely, and the errand and expenses required for these three patrol houses will all be shared by you and the other seventy-three families.

Da Yin's words were like a thunderstorm in the hall, and almost all of the seventy-three families collapsed, so he argued that our only seventy-three families could supply 570,000 yuan.

Gao Yue raised a list (Zhihui planned it), saying that you should not panic, Ben Yin took the lead in the errand service, and a total of 11,000 yuan has been paid for the service, and you and others are all strong households, and you should take Ben Yin as an example and complete the service as soon as possible.

"That's not right!" The eyes of the seventy-three households were red, and they understood that this was Gao Yue's revenge, so they said why they didn't need to leave money to build the patrol courtyard, why oppress us and other good people.

Gao Yue was furious, saying that the establishment of two taxes to make the court patrol is the meaning of the Zhongshu Shilang Dou Shen, if you want to say the law, go to discuss with the imperial court, you must not say to Ben Yin, Ben Yin is to do things according to the rules, as for the Xingyuan Mansion's money to keep envoys and state money, it is to raise the army, raise officials and prepare for local floods and droughts, and you can't move half a penny.

"Da Yin forced me to wait for the end of the battle so much, is it because I want my seventy-three families to die?" Suddenly, there were injustices in the hall.

"You will finish it when you finish today, and if you don't finish it, you will finish it." Gao Yue's iron face is ruthless.

These seventy-three households shouted, "We are waiting for the court to pay for it."

"You are questioning the authenticity of Dou Zhonglang's implementation of the two tax envoys?" Gao Yue not only took out the public certificate, but also said that in order to implement Dou Zhonglang's two tax envoys today, Ben Yin did not hesitate to risk the world's disapproval.

After speaking, the wolf-like archers dragged all the men in charge of the seventy-three households to the Yingtian Patrol Courtyard in Chiya Pass, where the prefect under the command of Gao Yue was imprisoned.

Due to the acquiescence of the Tang government, because the local patrol courts are responsible for the important responsibilities of anti-smuggling and transfer, they actually enjoy independent legal power, that is, they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the legal power of the prefecture and county where they are located.

The officials in the patrol courtyard, in the name of "fighting against Dou Zhonglang's order", began to beat this group of situational households.

The skin of the back and buttocks were beaten, the water and rice were not entered, and the cold invasion of winter rain and snow was invaded, and the next day Gao Yue came to the Chiya Pass to inspect the courtyard, and as a result, this group of households in the situation all cried and begged for mercy, they redressed their grievances and said that they could not take out this money at all, their land and income were limited, how could they come up with almost 10,000 yuan per person.

Gao Yue sneered and said, you said that you can't come up with ten thousand dollars, what is the proof?

Everyone was discouraged, when Wei Zhiyi and Li Wei pushed the meridian boundary law to paint the fields in the two counties, they both refused to sign the anvil book, but now they have no certificate.

At this time, someone shouted, when we pay the two taxes in the summer and autumn of this year, we have a tax payment banknote, and we can push back according to the amount of the banknote, but we can't take out so much, Da Yin, you have to talk about conscience!

Deputy Gao Yue was deeply shocked, so he asked the wives and children of the seventy-three families to send the banknotes to the house.

The so-called banknote is the "tax payment certificate" of the household.

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, the government in order to facilitate the escape (one of the ten households fled to avoid taxes, and the other nine households shared the tax of this household, which was to evade), and rarely gave money stickers to households, and Gaoyue's Xingyuan Mansion can be said to be one of the few areas in the country that can still seriously give money stickers.

On the same day, the families of the 73 families rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the house, and finally delivered almost all the tax-paid banknotes.

Gao Yue ordered the officials to paste it all on the paperbook, and then he went to the Chiyaguan Patrol Courtyard again, and said to the households who were detained here, Ben Yin has checked the banknotes, and judging from the amount of money and rice you have paid, it is true that the seventy-three families should not be allowed to bear the 570,000 yuan required to build the two taxes and make the Patrol Courtyard.

Just when everyone thought they had escaped, Gao Yue stood up and didn't have the slightest intention of letting them out, "But Ben Yin checked the Baojia register and the field style where you are located, and found that the taxes you paid did not match the number of fields drawn, there were a huge number of acres of land, and no taxes were paid, this is the hidden field-what Ben Yin wants to ask now is, is this batch of hidden fields your property?" ”

At this time, the seventy-three households in the southern Zhenghe Chenggu were suddenly mourned, and only then did they understand the ruthlessness of Gao Yue's implementation of the tax-paid banknote sticker:

If we admit that these hidden fields that do not pay taxes are our own, then it is equivalent to admitting that we are guilty of tax evasion and evasion, and this Gao Yue will definitely share all the 570,000 yuan on our heads;

If you don't admit it......

Outside the prison fence, Gao Yue gave them the answer in a loud voice: "If this batch of hidden fields does not pay taxes, and no one claims to sign it, then it can only be confiscated and confiscated." ”
