On the calm land of Qilu, there are neat groups of red steel torrents, some of them go to the guards, some go to various checkpoints, liquidate the acres of land, and collect the news of customs duties and city taxes spread all over the place, but they did not withstand a trace of waves, these two caravans and merchant ships at the bottom of the tax have countless ways to evade taxes and avoid taxes, and they don't care who is the owner of this land.

"Let's compromise, Liu Zeqing is dead, don't you adults see the situation clearly, and you don't collect much tax, why go against this butcher" Wang Yan said with some trembling, Liu Zeqing's 50,000 army said that it would be disbanded, and if it was disbanded, it would be disbanded, and if it was not, 40,000 people went north directly, he was completely panicked, and he didn't dare to go against this Xiaochuan again, he found that the other party would not care about the criticism of the court at all, even if everyone in the world shouted and beat him, he would not mind at all, what should he do, this is a man who has gone beyond the normal routine of the Ming Dynasty.

"No, the old man's family business is all the blood of the children of the family, every penny is stained with the sweat of the children of the Zou family, how can you hand it over like this" Zou Yuan said, his tone was urgent, his face was full of anger, he would rather give the money to Zheng Zhilong as protection money than collect taxes, and said: "Daming does not change everywhere, why should Shandong change"

"The difference in this statement is not that taxes are not collected," Wang Yan said, the tone was embarrassing not because they did not collect taxes but because they could not collect commercial taxes at all.

"Yes, Lord Zou is right, these are the hard-earned money of our family's children, how can they be handed over like this" A group of businessmen echoed, their family children are all officials in Shandong, so they said that Wang Yan was also very embarrassed, he said: "You have forgotten the head of Liu Zeqing in the West City, this Qin Xiaochuan is not at all safe and reasonable, everyone should not go against this kind of madman."

"Hmph, my Zou family gives Zheng Zhilong no more than 10,000 taels of silver every year, I don't believe that his Zheng family doesn't care about this kid" Zou Yuan said: "I'll write a letter to Zheng Zhilong, can this kid be better than Zheng Zhilong?" He said angrily.

"Yes, Lord Zou is right, we can find Zheng Zhilong and Master Zheng!" All the people echoed and said, they all reacted, yes, we don't know how much money we give him to do business at sea every year, if he doesn't care, wouldn't he smash his own signboard.

"Everyone, you are crazy" Wang Yan shook his head and sighed, "That's the Fujian General Army, how powerful is his water division, this Qin Xiaochuan's 70,000 army has experienced a hundred battles, and even Dongyu is not an opponent, let alone Zheng Zhilong's group of water thieves."

"Hmph, who said that you can't beat us as an internal response, and then how to beat this little Qingzhou army in the name of rebellion" Zou Yuan smiled and said: "Then Zheng Zhilong has an army of 300,000, all of which are experienced elites, including many big water thieves, and some of the firearms come directly from Hongyi, so he can't beat the small Qingzhou army" He laughed and said, obviously he knew so much and the relationship with the Zheng family must be expensive,

"That's right, my lord, then Qin Xiaochuan persecuted us like this first, don't blame us for being unkind, go to Lord Zheng's benevolent and righteous teacher to eliminate this rebellion, so that we can return my Ming and return me to Shandong" Everyone in the room said.

"That's a pirate!" Wang Yan shook his head and sighed, his tone was full of helplessness or anger, they actually wanted to find that Zheng Zhilong to give himself a head, and the other party was called Fujian General Soldier, but everyone knew that he was a pirate, and he was also helpless Although he was helpless in his heart, who let himself be part of this Qi party.

"When the time comes, if Lord Zheng can destroy this Qin Xiaochuan, how will his Qingzhou everyone be distributed, and the port," Zou Yuan said, and everyone immediately looked over with greedy eyes.

"Are you so sure that Zheng Zhilong will leave directly after helping you eliminate Qin Xiaochuan?" Wang Yan said. "Don't you know if it's driving tigers and wolves?"

"Hmph, his interests are at sea, in Taiwan, in Fujian, Shandong is an enclave for him!" Zou Yuan said again: "If Lord Wang feels that it is dangerous, you can not join us, but you have to think about it, your position as prefect can be operated by our Qi Party to help you!" ”

Wang Yan sighed and was helpless, a feeling that he couldn't help himself, he understood that although he was the prefect of Shandong, he was a fake prefect, and the group of Qi party elders and businessmen in front of him were the real prefects.

*********************************

Lingshanwei is a guard in Jining Mansion in Shandong, it is already far away from Qingzhou, so the sight here is all deserted fields, the cold wind blowing in November drove the yellow sand in a place to cover the sky, a neat team entered this fortress, two thousand five hundred Qi family troops and three hundred Han Gang's own soldiers entered here, he looked at the surrounding deserted fields, but there was suddenly a good field in the distance, he said with ambition in his heart: "I will definitely build Lingshanwei like Qingzhou Wei"

He looked at the people dressed as scribes behind him, but the five praise paintings were a group of scholars, which made him very annoying, this is the person that Gongzi specially asked him to take, and they were all scholars trained by Gongzi, but he was very headache, only Wang Youcai did not bring praise paintings, which made everyone very envious.

"The general will enter the Lingshan Wei for a while, but you have to remember that the first thing is to liquidate the acres!" A praise painting on the side said, his face was dark and very rough, which looked like he was exercising regularly, but at the same time, he had a kind of literati elegance and looked like a different kind of conflict.

"Understood," Han Gang said, and walked inside with some impatience.

When he walked to the city gate, no one greeted him, and even the gate was closed to prevent him from entering, but Han Gang said angrily: "Siege!" He ignored Zan Hua's objections, but the army had just raised the bird's gun and surrendered with a white flag.

A group of people approached the city, but inside were the clamoring guards and officials, and a group of civil officials, they began to say who they were covering in the court, but Han Gang watched them wave his hand and take the generals away.

Liquidating the acres of land and chasing their tax evasion projects, a group of officers who were escorted away shouted loudly, looking unbelievable, and at night, Lingshanwei was everywhere to search for the iron armor of the landlord of the tax evasion officers, and there were screams of exclamation everywhere.

Shandong is full of guards like Lingshan Guard, and the landlords who have become officers of the guard are wailing. Han Gang stood on the main seat with an indifferent face, and the praise painting on the side said: "This time, a total of 63,520 taels of silver in arrears of various taxes were recovered, and 50,000 stones of grain were owed by each family. A total of about 41,000 stone of grain was returned."

"So when will you pay back the food you owe to the government" Han Gang sat on the main seat and said, he was a little angry in his heart, he originally wanted to show his strength, he found that at this moment in the fortress, except for leading troops and training, everything else was done by the Zanhua team. made him feel a little sense of disillusionment, that is, he was angry with this group of family children.
