Deng Chongqi's incident quickly spread throughout the county like a gust of wind, and soon almost everyone in the county knew that there was a common man named Deng Chongqi in Deng County who couldn't stand the oppression, killed the errand and then committed suicide.

However, the occurrence of this incident did not make the officials in the county who urged taxes to restrain themselves, on the contrary, this incident also made the officials in the county more and more intensified, because this group of officials understood that if they gave in at this time, then the people at the bottom would use this as a means to gain an inch, you must know that the poorer the people, the more they are not afraid of death, as long as the officials who collect taxes now retreat, then there are definitely not a few people who dare to take risks in the future.

And more importantly, this tax is too important, it is related to their own jobs, so it is even more unlikely that they will restrain and retreat because of a murder.

However, the officials are also life-saving, and they also know a degree, so now the servants who go to the countryside to collect taxes are no longer in a team of two people as before, but go to the people's homes in groups of three or five to collect taxes, and in the process of collecting taxes, they don't dare to be too fat, after all, if they really take their lives for those few money, then they will really have money and no life to spend.

But even so, there are still many ordinary people who can't pay taxes, you must know that now it is the Yuan Dynasty, the most taxed dynasties in ancient China, and this high tax is not to mention the tenant farmers at the bottom, but it is still an incomparably huge burden for some small landlords and yeoman farmers.

As for standing up and working hard with the court, with their group of farmers, what to do with it, I already knew that now, the people don't say it's a sword, even if it's a kitchen knife, it's a controlled product, and it's also recorded by the officials above, and not even every family has a kitchen knife, and it's better to die now.

And the people are not at all hopeless to live, Yingzhou is in the south after all, and now it is spring, it is really not possible to pick wild vegetables and catch insects to satisfy hunger, and then you can sell your own land to the noble lord of the town, although it will be depressed by the old man to death, but it is not possible to live after all.

Therefore, with the hope of survival, the people smashed the pot to sell iron, sold their property, and finally saved enough money from the summer tax this time, although they will live a life of hunger and hunger for many months in the future, but they can survive after all, and now they don't have to pay taxes after a few months of collecting the summer tax, which can be regarded as giving the people some hope.

But there are always two sides to things, for example, this early collection of summer tax is a complete disaster for the people at the bottom, but for those officials who collect taxes and the nobles in those counties, it is a great good thing.

In this era of extremely low literacy rate, in addition to believing the words of these officials, who else can the common people believe, believe in the group of landlords who eat people and don't spit out bones?

In addition, the group of landlords and nobles in the townships and towns are much darker than the officials who collect taxes in the county, and the tax collectors are nothing more than greedy for some people's taxes when collecting taxes, while those group of landlords and nobles directly want the lifeblood of others.

You must know that in the current era, the attraction of land to the common people is simply unimaginable, if the common people have other ways to pay the taxes, then this group of ordinary people is no matter what, will not sell their land, but the land is not only a great attraction to the common people, but also has a great attraction to any landlord and nobleman now.

After all, in the current feudal society that values agriculture and suppresses business, only land will never depreciate, and only land can make one's family prosperous for a long time, but everyone understands this truth, so how to make the bottom yeoman farmers sell the land in their hands has always been a problem that plagues the landlords and nobles.

After all, land is too expensive to buy and sell just normally, and even if you have money, people won't necessarily sell it. As for relying on forcible seizure, a group of rural landlords do not have this ability, and even if they have this ability, but it is too ugly to forcibly seize and eat, you must know that these landlords are some locals whose ancestors lived here, and forcibly seize the land of their fellow villagers, then this reputation will be stinky, and they don't want to be scolded by their poor fellow villagers as soon as they go out.

And if you want to buy land cheaply without staining your reputation, then you can only catch up with natural and man-made disasters, etc., and the common people can't survive a good time, so this group of landlords and nobles wish that the court would collect summer taxes early every year, and all the officials would embezzle taxes.

Therefore, although the early collection of the summer tax made the people at the bottom miserable, it was a rare feast for the group of bureaucrats and landlords at the top.

So much so that they even had the idea of collecting taxes again, and the richer the official they were, the stronger this idea became, after all, greed is more terrible than drugs.

As for whether there will be any bad consequences because of this, hmph, a group of mud legs, do they really dare to rebel? Besides, even if this group of mud-legged people really rebelled, would it have to be a bad thing?

If they rebel, it is nothing more than making trouble in the county below, and the more they make trouble, the more people die, the greater their benefits, when the time comes, the officials and lords have military achievements, and the landlords can get enough land, it is really a win-win situation!

Let's not talk about the dangerous ideas of the officials and landlords above, but only talk about the current county seat of Taihe, Yingzhou.

In Zhang Shihua's view, the current Taihe County is as dangerous as a volcano about to erupt, although the Yuanmeng Imperial Court only ordered the early collection of summer taxes, but with the efforts of the hyena-like greedy officials and landlords, the people at the bottom are far from being as simple as collecting the summer tax early.

You must know that the officials of County D just wanted to plug the mouth of his second uncle Zhang Liewen, and they stuffed a hundred taels of hush money, if it was really just a single summer tax, it would really be hell.

And from the changes in Taihe County now, this can also be deeply seen, the robbers and thieves who have been exterminated by Zhang Shihua have revived, and because there is no suppression of the Inspection Division, the robbers are becoming more and more intense, and the power is getting bigger and bigger, and there have been more than 50 robbers in Taihe County in just one month.

And not only have the robbers reared their heads, but the White Lotus Sect has also become more and more active in the past two days. You must know that if a person lives in helplessness, he will definitely subconsciously find a spiritual sustenance for himself, and the White Lotus Sect has ushered in rapid development, and in Xucheng Town alone, the White Lotus Church can gather thousands of people at a time.

It can be said that under the oppression and guidance of landlords and bureaucrats, robbers and robbers, the White Lotus religion, and the tripartite forces, the entire Yingzhou can already be described as boiling with public resentment.

And what's even more terrifying is that this situation is not only happening in Yingzhou, a county in this state, but also in the entire HN Jiangbei Province, and even Runing Mansion is quite good, after all, they only collect taxes in advance, and in the places of Bianliang Road and Daimyo Mansion in the north, the common people not only have to pay taxes in advance, but also face being forcibly conscripted by the imperial court.

As far as Zhang Shihua knew, many of the bandits in Yingzhou and Runing Mansion were ordinary people who fled from Bianliang to escape the forced conscription of the imperial court.

Now the entire HN Gangbuk area is like a barrel of dynamite, and the slightest spark can have unimaginable consequences.

But in such a dangerous situation, that group of short-sighted bureaucratic landlords still only know how to lie on the bottom of the people to suck blood, just from TH County can see this, now Zhang Shihua also understands, why the wheel of history can not be stopped, because if the country continues to be ruled by this group of short-sighted vampires, then the country's demise is only a matter of time, even if there is no White Lotus uprising, there will be Black Lotus Sect, Red Lotus Sect.

In short, the Yuan Dynasty must be finished, and continuing to cling to the incompleteness will only be crushed into powder by the surging public resentment, and only an uprising is an act that conforms to the general trend of the world.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shihua stood up, went out of the room, and shouted to Shi 13 and Zhao Er, who were leading the archers in the backyard to train: "Prepare the horse, follow me to Dazhang Village." ”

When Shi Shishi and Zhao Er heard Zhang Shihua's words, they didn't ask anything more, because Zhang Shihua would go to Dazhang Village almost every seven days to visit the seventy brothers there.

So when they heard Zhang Shihua's order, they just bowed their heads and said "yes", and then went to prepare the horses.

And after seeing them go to prepare the horses, Zhang Shihua secretly thought in his heart: "These hundred former archers, under their own influence, have long been full of disgust with this court, it can be said that even if they rebel with them at that time, they will definitely follow themselves, but the more accidents can occur at this critical moment, in any case, only by firmly controlling them in their own hands, themselves, their families and them are most likely to survive in the troubled times." ”
