Li Yi walked in the direction of Sun Hong, the chief of the door, but was affected by the injury on his back, his mouth grinned in pain, and he asked with a sobbing mouth: "Erlang, what are you doing?" Uncle Yi is doing business, don't come here, go for a walk, find somewhere else to play! ”

The eldest grandson Hong held the door, did not move, and said to Li Yi with a smile: "It turned out to be Uncle Li Yi, the dog's father's spring rent this year, I remember that it was handed over to my father in May, but I don't know what spring rent Uncle Yi collected here?" ”

Li Yi's brows furrowed, and he said with a dark face: "What do you know?" Do you know the rent your dad collects? ”

The eldest grandson Hong smiled, stretched out his head and shouted to the dog father who was held by the two: "Uncle Li, do you still have the voucher for paying the spring rent?" ”

The dog's father was twisted hands and feet, but his mouth could be opened, and he was helpless at this time, seeing the eldest grandson Hong asking, he hurriedly replied with a glimmer of hope: "In, in, in, it was written by the eldest grandson Baozheng himself, and it was stored in the house and could be taken out." ”

Changsun Hong retracted his neck and looked at Li Yi with a smile, Li Yi's face was even darker, and he didn't want to pay attention to Changsun Hong, but he found that there were more and more villagers outside the courtyard, and the black and oppressive people were pointing and discussing, as if they didn't explain it, this thing didn't end well, so he had to pout his mouth and said angrily: "What do you know?" His family paid the land rent, but owed the general system money, monthly pile money, royalty money, and pre-purchase, these are all taxes paid by the imperial court, can they be relied on? ”

These taxes, Changsun Hong has also heard about these taxes during this time, and he can be regarded as having a long insight, and understands that the ruthlessness and greed of the Southern Song Dynasty against the people are indeed rare in all dynasties.

The so-called total system of money, refers to the common people, all money and material transactions, have to pay taxes to the government, the general thousand transactions pay 50 Wen, this tax covers a wide range, almost no private transactions do not involve this tax, belongs to the goose plucking type.

The so-called monthly pile money, refers to the imperial court to raise soldiers, the need is quite large, the order of the prefectures and counties must be collected on a monthly basis, this kind of tax is not stipulated by the central government, all according to the name of the local set up by themselves, which is equivalent to giving the officials a great deal of freedom, some places set up according to the tax items are incredible, such as the Jiangnan East and West Road set up "vinegar money", "paper money", whether the lawsuit is won or lost, the "lawsuit" must be paid, "the cowhide band corner", all kinds of things, only unthinkable, nothing can not be done.

And the royalty money, which was also collected to subsidize the military, was specifically for the peasants, similar to the poll tax.

As for and pre-buying, it is the most shameless, it is the government to buy silk from the people, but do not give money, owed, a way to take it for nothing, this kind of tax is evenly apportioned according to the acres of land, arbitrarily asked, so it is called and pre-buying.

These taxes, all in addition to the spring and autumn rent, pay the land rent, and continue to pay these taxes, otherwise the government will investigate and urge.

In addition, there are also "branching" and "folding" are also strange things that come out of hollowing out thoughts, Li Yi did not say it here, and the right is not expressed.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yi's words came out, the villagers who gathered outside the door and were full of indignation and discussion immediately did not dare to speak up, these taxes are indeed clearly stipulated by the imperial court, and the taxes that exist in fact are not paid, which is unreasonable in the law, and Baozheng can take measures to forcibly collect them, not only is he not guilty, but he is meritorious.

Seeing that the villagers were silent, Li Yi was proud in his heart and scolded: "I don't know what to do!" The gloom on his face dissipated a lot, and he glanced at Changsun Hong, who was elbowing outward, and scolded in a low voice: "I will find your father to find you unlucky!" Ignoring him, he turned around and began to shout, "What are you waiting for?" Hands-on wow! ”

A group of ruffians agreed in unison, raising their sticks and about to beat people, but they heard another shout in the air: "Wait! ”

Li Yi turned his face angrily, and found that it was Changsun Hong shouting again, so he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and shouted in an aggravated tone: "Erlang, it's none of your business here, what are you doing with Shenhe?" ”

The eldest grandson Hong was anxious, but he didn't dare to make too much fuss, forced a smile and a smile, took a step forward, and said to Li Yi: "Uncle Yi, this dog is my partner, and he often comes to his house on weekdays to have a meal, the dog and his father treat me well, his family is in trouble, how can there be no business with me?" ”

Li Yi said angrily: "No matter what relationship you have with him, if his family owes taxes and does not pay, it is a crime, do you understand the crime?" Your father is upright, don't help because of a moment of righteousness, Uncle Yi took a little thing from his family today, just to give the yamen an explanation, otherwise the yamen will be liquidated and find out this case, but it is the county official Kuaishou, then it's not just as simple as taking things, you have to take people! ”

Speaking of this, Li Yi raised his voice, stood a few steps out, and said in a loud voice towards the large number of villagers gathered outside the door: "The yamen took people, which time didn't you catch them and hit the board?" Think about it for yourselves, you can't get off the ground after hitting the board for a few months, and some of the weak ones can't survive and carry them back to die, who are you going to cry to? If I can't collect taxes, it's hard for me to do it, and it's better to take something to hold on to it than to come from the yamen, isn't that the reason? ”

The people in the village outside the door are all honest peasants, where do they know what the big truth, Li Yi seems to be a little right again, the people who were still indignant just now suddenly quieted down, Li Yi moved out of the county yamen again, the people did not dare to fight with the officials, and no one dared to speak up for a while.

Eldest Sun Hong was also speechless for a while, although he knew that Li Yi's words were definitely deceiving and fooling, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he frowned and was silent.

Seeing that no one was talking, Li Yi was in a good mood, and even the haze on his face dissipated a lot, sneered, spit on the ground, turned around, and shouted viciously at the three dog brothers who were surrounded by a group of ruffians: "Don't let go of your belongings yet!" Do you really want to rebel? ”

The three of them bit their lips, their faces turned pale, and they were obviously shocked by Li Yi's words, but the dog girl on the ground pounced on it, hugged a bag of rice carried by a ruffian on his back, and dragged it desperately into his arms, crying in his mouth: "Brother Yi'er, this is the last bit of rice in my family, you took it, how can we live?" ”

"I care so much about you!" Li Yi was impatient, and glanced at the ruffian: "You haven't fucking eaten!" ”

The ruffian understood, picked up the rice bag and smashed it on the head of the dog mother, the rice bag was heavy, and the dog mother was smashed to the ground, and the head was broken and bleeding.

Seeing the blood, the three brothers immediately went crazy, shouting: "Mother! "While rushing over, waving the guy in his hand, and playing with a bunch of riffraff.

There was a mess in the courtyard, and Changsun Hong was also anxious, such a violent scene made his blood boil and his heart was full of anger, when did the future generations see such a scene of hurting people and seizing money? Blood rushed to his head, and he picked up a stone on the ground, aimed at Li Yi, raised his hand and was about to throw it out.

Before the hand could be rounded, it was firmly pulled from behind by a large hand.

The tall figure of Changsun Hao walked from behind, took down the stone and threw it on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Leave it to me." ”

After taking two steps, he looked back at Changsun Hong, with a complicated expression between his eyebrows, as if he was considering what he should say to his son, and then paused, he didn't say anything.

Li Yi's eyes were red, and he was directing the siege of the three brothers of the dog, and he didn't notice the situation behind him, so when there was a thunderous "Stop!" When it sounded, he hadn't realized who was roaring.

"Who the is ......" Before he could turn his head, Changsun Hao had already come to his side and stalked his unfinished words in his throat.

"Everyone, stop!" Changsun Hao stood in the middle of the courtyard, his burly and sturdy body was as majestic as the stone tower by the river in the west of the village, everyone was a head shorter than him, not angry and arrogant, and everyone in the courtyard who was shouting immediately was stunned.

"Integrity!" "Baozheng is here!" The villagers outside the courtyard and the ruffians inside the courtyard were all the same voice, and the chaotic crowd immediately stopped, and the people stood in place, quietly watching him.

Eldest Sun Hao glanced at the audience, his eyes fell on the dog who was lying on the ground with blood on his face, and then looked back at Li Yi, his thick eyebrows were twisted together, and his eyes were sharp.

Li Yi was stunned by him, he knew the ability of this outsider, and when it came to fighting, the people in this courtyard were not his opponents combined.

"Eldest Sun Baozheng, why are you here?" A hypocritical smile appeared on Li Yi's face: "It's just right, Li Daguan sent me to collect taxes, and you also know that there are still a lot of taxes in the county in the village, and Li Daguan is very anxious, this is not ......."

"Most of his family's taxes have been cleared." Changsun Hao interrupted his words and said expressionlessly: "The rest, I can get it together in a few days, and when the time comes, I will come to collect it." ”

"Hehe, you can't say that." Li Yipi shook three pinches of his beard without smiling, and forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart: "I just saw it, this family doesn't even have a penny, what do they take to pay taxes?" ”

Changsun Hao stared at his eyes, there seemed to be a fire burning in his pupils, but what came out was a cold light, and the words he said did not have any waves, but it seemed to be like a cold cold current that spread towards Li Yi: "I said, I will come to collect it, you don't need to be irritable." ”

"You...... Good! You said! Li Yi was furious by him, only to feel that the fists that seemed to hang down at the waist at random would hit him in the face at any time, and he involuntarily took a step back, and said fiercely: "I can't take it, I'll see how you explain it to Daguan Li when the time comes!" ”

He flicked his robe and shouted, "Put everything down, let's go!" He took the lead and rushed out of the hospital, moving as fast as if a ghost was chasing him.

The ruffians in the courtyard glanced at each other, put down their belongings in a panic, sang a song to the eldest grandson, and came out of the fish, not even wanting the rod that fell to the ground.

The dog brothers rushed over, hurriedly helped the old lady, the dog father came over to cry and greet the ceremony, the eldest grandson Hao comforted him, and the villagers outside the door also rushed in to help, tidy up the courtyard, and move the things that Li Yi's people snatched back to their original places.

The eldest grandson Hong also went into the house to help the dog stop the bleeding for his mother, as a modern person, he had some medical knowledge, and found that the dog mother was only a skin injury, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
