Chapter 109 Excessive Taxes and Miscellaneous Taxes

"Whoosh!"

Rumble!

There was an earth-shattering bang that shocked Arjuna and the soldiers behind her with their jaws dropped.

Zhao Rui can carry the barrel of the cannon to fire, oh my God!

Hundreds of people were wiped out at once, and seeing that Arjuna was still stunned, Zhao Rui said while loading ***: "Arjuna, don't be idle, fight!" ”

"Oh, oh."

Arjuna's heart was too shocked, she originally thought that the musket was powerful enough, but she didn't expect Zhao Rui to have a more lethal weapon.

"Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, ......suddenly" Arjuna shot three times before a Yuan army dismounted.

Zhao Rui aimed at the opposite side and said, "If you can't hit someone, you will hit the horse!" ”

"No, horses are our friends!"

Arjuna didn't believe that she couldn't compare to Kunnu, so she aimed more intently, but when she was about to pull the trigger, Zhao Rui next to her shot shot out.

The shocking bang once again caused Arjuna's muzzle to drift away.

Rumble!

The 8,000 people who were suppressed by Wu have now instantly become more than 5,000 people, which is enough to make the Yuan army frightened, but the generals dare not turn back, and if they don't bring the princess back, what awaits him can only be death.

"Don't retreat, rush up together, it's coming soon!"

The general, wielding his leather whip, mingled with the cavalry and rushed forward at a faster pace.

It's a pity that Zhao Rui served M249 again.

Because the bullets are still too expensive, Zhao Rui is no longer ready to hand over the M249 to his subordinates to use, after all, if he can resist recoil, the lethality of the machine gun can be maximized!

"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

The powerful machine gun was like a fire-breathing dragon head, and the opposite side could not withstand such a slaughter-like attack, and all of them fell into one piece without arms and legs.

As the saying goes, the faster the rush dies, with Zhao Gong's cooperation, there is no Tartar who can escape.

It didn't take long for no one on the other side to stand up, and only a few dozen escaped war horses were left on the edge.

"Huh!"

"Oh my God!"

"All dead?"

"More than twenty people killed eight thousand!"

The group of pro-soldiers in the back couldn't believe their eyes at all, and some of them slapped their mouths, thinking that this was a dream scene.

"That's it! Take away the uninjured horses! ”

At this time, there were actually some local guards, but by the time they arrived, they were already at the end, and almost all of them were dead.

They lay behind the dirt slope in panic, worried that Zhao Rui would find out and eliminate them together.

"Demon, definitely demon!"

"No, let's run!"

"Yes, yes, run!"

In this way, a local guard ran away quietly without showing up, and Zhao Rui's side didn't even notice it.

After eliminating the pursuers, the road behind was extremely smooth, and everyone soon came to the city of Chuzhou.

As soon as the guards on the city wall saw more than 2,000 people, most of them wearing tartar clothes, they immediately attacked with arrows.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui immediately shouted: "Don't do it!" I am a Great Song general, this is my token! ”

The officers and soldiers above carefully lowered a basket, hung it up and checked that it was correct, and then opened the city gate.

Zhao Rui wanted to pass through the city, but the prefect of Kong, who got the news, ran over with people.

"Lord Zhao, why did you come from the north? The lower official prepared a banquet and invited Lord Zhao to appreciate his face! Governor Kong asked with a kind smile.

"Oh, no need, I killed some Tartars and I'm in a hurry to get back to my life."

"Okay, since that's the case, the official will send you out of the city!"

Zhao Rui knew that he was grateful for his relief for Chuzhou last time, so he no longer shirked.

After this delay, many people on the street recognized Zhao Rui and brought all kinds of food stuffed to Zhao Rui's team from home.

What bacon sausages, smoked chicken white belly, and even a little doll brought two hot eggs.

Zhao Gong and the others, including Arjuna's personal soldiers, were all happy and continued, while saying some words of gratitude.

The people all said that if there was no Zhao Rui, Chuzhou would probably be broken, and this little caution is not respectful.

Zhao Rui smiled and waved his hand, greeting the people, Arjuna looked at his side face blankly, so far, Arjuna has never seen any general, can be so loved by the people.

But Zhao Rui killed people mercilessly, and corpses were everywhere, what kind of person would he show such a diametrically opposite state?

When they arrived at the city gate, everyone's arms were almost filled with food, and after Zhao Rui and Kong Zhifu said goodbye, they went straight to Lin'an City.

There are many eyes and ears in Lin'an City, and as soon as Zhao Rui's group of people entered the city, someone immediately ran to the prime minister's mansion to inform them.

Zhao Rui didn't know anything about this, and walked to the house, wanting to temporarily place this group of people here.

But when Zhao Rui was about to open the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

"Young Master?"

"Xiaoyi?"

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Zhao Rui asked strangely, didn't he ask Zhang Zhennan to come over to help Xiaoyi transfer a long time ago?

"Alas, young master, where is it easy to walk now?"

Zhao Rui first arranged for everyone to go in to rest, and then asked Zhao Xiaoyi for clarification.

It turned out that the two of them were about to leave, and the musketeer army came back, Song Xiaobao must have gone to Taishi to say something, so Taishi directly stated that when you come back, he will punish you!

Zhao Rui became a guilty man overnight, so the tax officials came to check the taxes, not only to make up what they owed before, but also to pay a large amount of taxes if they took the gold and silver away.

Xiao Yi roughly calculated according to what they said, and actually needed to pay seven or eight tenths of the existing property.

So the two stayed in order to be responsible for Zhao Rui, and Zhao Xiaoyi even sent a letter to Jingjiang Mansion, thinking that they would be able to see it when Zhao Rui went back.

And Zhang Zhennan went out to reason with those tax officials, he was not treated well by the Taishi forces, so he often sighed when he came back in the past few days, and there was no progress at all.

Zhao Rui couldn't help but smile coldly when he heard this, is this going to tear his face?

But whether it is the emperor or the prince, you have to pass the musket level first!

Zhao Rui didn't take it seriously at all, and went to arrange the kitchen to cook for everyone.

At this time, Fang Hongbin broke in panting.

"Lord Zhao! You...... Why are you coming back! Let's go! Let's go! ”

Fang Hongbin didn't say anything clearly, so he stepped forward and tugged at Zhao Rui's sleeve to drag him away.

"Hongbin, calm down! What's the matter with the panic? Zhao Rui asked.

"Oh no, Lord Zhao, I heard my father say at home that he was going to the court, this time the emperor and the prince are all going, and they must be punished for your affairs!" Moreover, the Taishi is vicious, and the exclusion of dissidents is even more unscrupulous, so you can't worry about your life this time! ”

Xiao Yi heard it next to her, and couldn't help but be shocked, and persuaded Zhao Rui to leave quickly.

Before Zhao Rui could answer, two tax officials came in from outside the door.

The two pushed away the blocking family and asked with an arrogant face, "Who said they were leaving?" Let me tell you, no one will want to leave until the taxes are paid! ”

The two of them are tall and short, but they both have round generals' bellies, and they look like they are also pampered on weekdays.

"Two adults, in Xia Zhao Rui, I don't know how your taxes are calculated, tell me how about it?"

The two looked at each other, and it turned out that the main owner had arrived, but why hadn't he been arrested yet?

When the time comes, they won't be able to get anything out of their taxes, and they have to ask for it quickly.

So the tall one of them put his hands behind his back, tilted his chin and said, "Okay, if you want to hear it, we will let you understand it." Among them, not to mention the line tax and the housing tax, there are also the head money, the Yicang tax, the agricultural tool tax, the cow leather tendon and horn tax, the entry tax, the silkworm salt money, the quyin money, the city tax, the field tax, and the conscription tax! Now you know it! ”

A series of tax names made Zhao Rui dizzy, and many of them didn't understand, so he picked two people who could understand and asked first.

"My lord, shouldn't I pay this money, I'm not married, where is the child?"

"Oh, this tax is charged on a per-household basis, and there are so many people here, there must be people who will have children, so you have to pay this tax."

"That'...... I don't have any land. ”

"This ......," the short officer muttered for a moment, as if something had suddenly occurred to him.

"Your house was changed from land before, so you also have to pay land taxes!"

Zhao Rui patted his head and felt that these two people were really ridiculous.

"If it had been thousands of years ago, wouldn't all the places have been fields?"

"Be honest!"

The senior tax official couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded Zhao Rui: "You ask so clearly what to do, you have to hand over all the money today, otherwise I will take you to see the official immediately!" When the time comes, it won't be solved by spending money! ”

Zhao Xiaoyi frowned, it seemed that it was not the first time that these two people had come.

Zhao Rui looked at Fang Hongbin and smiled, before he could ask the court, the tax officer arrested himself first.

"No money, let's go!"

Zhao Rui's expression of indifference made the two tax officials feel very insulted.

"Do you dare to resist taxes? Good! I'm going to let you know that it's amazing, you are a removed military attachΓ©, you are arrogant! Someone! ”

The short tax collector roared, and a team of officers and soldiers really came in from outside, looking like a dozen people.

"Come on, bring this Zhao Rui and this woman to the yamen, I have to see how many boards they eat before I can come up with the money!"

What to do......

Fang Hongbin and Zhao Xiaoyi were a little flustered, and things seemed to have reached the point of irreconcilability.

Is it really going to be taken away?

"Oh, by the way, I have something else for you."

Zhao Rui took it into his arms.

The two tax collectors glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Yes, it would be good to take it out earlier, so as not to blur the flesh and blood of your butt and say anything." ”

Because it has not been used for too long, the electric baton and chili water have already made Zhao Rui insert it into the side of the belt, and it is really difficult to take it from his arms.

Zhao Rui easily took out the two things, and the officers and soldiers on the other side were all unknown, and they had never seen such a strange thing.

Zhao Rui took the chili water and said: "I have only used this treasure once or twice, it is really too wasteful, it is better to give it all to you today!" ”
