Chang'an City was originally a big city in Guanzhong in the northwest, and according to legend, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin also intended to move the capital here, which shows that Chang'an is quite developed both culturally and economically. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Not long after Tong Guan entered Jingzhao Mansion, the news spread, and the big officials and officials came to send them along the way, and naturally they would bring a lot of gifts, leaving a word of respect.

It's that Tong Guan didn't pay attention to these people, firstly, Tong Guan was really a little bored, and secondly, these petty officials and officials couldn't get into the eyes of Tong Xianggong.

As soon as I arrived outside Chang'an City, it was a big battle, and the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion was much larger than the average prefect, and the official uniform he wore was naturally different from others.

Zheng Zhi saw a man in his thirties and forties, wearing a square heart round collar official uniform and a head with a cross-legged head. This person is at the front and keeps walking forward to greet him. When they arrived in Guanzhong Jingzhao Mansion, horses were rare, and they were somewhat similar to those in Tokyo, and officials generally rode in ox carts.

Manpower to carry a sedan chair is also just emerging in this era, but most of the literati at this time are not used to this kind of behavior, and they disdainfully say: use people as animals. Of course, the more popular ones are riding donkeys and ox carts. Horses are always the control of the military.

"Han Tao, the prefect of Jingzhao, has seen Tong Xianggong." The prefect came on foot to greet him a long time ago, and he seemed sincere.

Zheng Zhi looked at this person, forty or fifty years old, extremely well maintained, full of red light, at first glance there was a square face, but his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he seemed to have such a bearing. It's not the kind of extreme flattery that Zheng Zhi thinks.

But Zheng Zhi could obviously feel that one of the several people behind him was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw Pei Xuan's body tense, anger shooting out of his eyes, and the muscles on his face were trembling.

If it weren't for Zheng Zhi, this armor Pei Xuan was afraid that he would have pulled out the double swords at his waist at this time, and flew forward to assassinate this Han prefect on the spot.

Pei Xuan also felt a glance from Zheng Zhi at this time, although Zheng Zhi had no expression, just a simple glance, Pei Xuan also quickly lowered his head, but the anger in his eyes still couldn't be recovered. The hands clenched into fists and kept shaking, and he was restraining his own soaring hatred, so as not to bring trouble to Zheng Zhi.

"The Han Governor's Mansion is polite, and this Jing passed by the Jingzhao Mansion and bothered me." This Jingzhao prefect is still different from ordinary petty officials, that is, it is one level older than the prefect of the state capital, and if he doesn't hit the smiling person, Tong Guan naturally has to be polite.

Han Tao saw that Tong Guan was so polite, and his heart was also very happy, Tong Guan passed by Jingzhao Mansion this time, for Han Tao, it was also an opportunity, if you want to rise back to the prosperous Tokyo Bianliang, Tong Xianggong is naturally a particularly good way.

"The prime minister is polite, the prime minister and his entourage are staying in affairs, and the lower officials have prepared all the preparations, and please follow the lower officials into the city." Han Zhifu didn't pay attention to these armored soldiers behind him, and only the boy in front of him was in his eyes.

"That's disrespectful, and the generals are also bothered to settle it properly." Tong Guan is naturally not polite, and there are 4,000 soldiers and thousands of prisoners behind him, and he has to explain it.

"Properly and properly, the minister can rest assured, follow the officials into the city, and the soldiers will naturally be proper." As he spoke, Governor Han waved his hand and motioned for the accompanying officials in the rear to step forward and lead the way.

The soldiers and prisoners naturally followed the officials of Jingzhao Mansion and the school barracks outside the city.

Zheng Zhi and a few of his subordinates followed this Tong Xianggong into the city slowly.

In the ancient city of Chang'an, the color of the city wall in the distance is distinct, one section is earthy yellow, and the other is blue-black, obviously the blue-black city wall was repaired later.

The streets in the city are spacious, and there are a lot of people, but there is no longer the majesty of the Daming Palace, and there is no interweaving of various races.

Being in Chang'an, although it is not the Chang'an of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it is enough for Zheng Zhi to be excited, and naturally he is looking around, and he is still thinking in his heart that the end of this main street is the gate of Daming Palace. Li Bai may have walked into the palace gate from here, met Emperor Tang Ming, drank wine, recited a hundred poems, and Na Gaoli took off his boots for him.

The crowd slowly crossed the main street on horseback, and suddenly saw an argument outside a cloth shop, and there were many onlookers beside them.

Tong Guan also looked over there, and the mount under him unconsciously slowly approached.

I saw a few officials surrounding a person and scolding him, and the person who was scolded was not badly dressed, but he kept giving his hands to the letter. And the scolding of these officials is getting louder and louder.

"Dog, if you don't pay the tax this month, you will be closed." A leader pointed at the man in front of him and scolded.

"Huang Zhutou, in a few days, he will definitely pay the tax regulations, and he hopes to be accommodating for a few days." As he spoke, the man took out a piece of silver from his bosom and covered it with a wide sleeve and sent it to the poor man.

The head catcher took the broken silver covered by the cuffs, and said: "The government tax regulations are also for everyone's net worth, the soldiers of the Western Army are fighting bloodily with the party members at the border, for our stability, the soldiers of the Western Army are throwing their heads and spilling their blood, and everyone should pay some taxes to subsidize food and salary, but also for the country and the people." ”

Zheng Zhi frowned when he heard this, he had never heard that the Northwest Prefecture still collected food and salary from the people, so this matter was naturally boring.

I only heard the head of the catcher put away the broken silver, turned around and said to everyone again: "Everyone can't be in arrears, if you are in arrears with the food and salary of the soldiers of the Western Army, you will be collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the government will inevitably punish you severely." ”

Zheng Zhi turned his head to look at Tong Guan, Tong Guan also frowned, as if he had thought about it in his heart, and the horse still moved forward slowly, not staying longer.

Those who can open a cloth shop are obviously some wealthy merchants, but they can't pay this so-called tax rule, and obviously this amount is only afraid of a small amount. Or this tax law is also a price to be offered, and the lion opens his mouth.

But in the time of these few words, Han Zhifu's face changed, and he immediately recovered, and after his eyes hinted at the entourage around him, he immediately turned his head and looked childish, with a solemn expression.

"Tong Xianggong, this matter is really unreasonable, the lower officials have already sent someone to arrest and investigate, and there are such things under the rule of Jingzhao Mansion, it is really a dereliction of duty for the lower officials." Governor Han's face was full of anger and was very solemn. But he was also calculating, probably knowing that this Tong Xianggong didn't seem to take this matter to heart, just beat the horse and didn't ask.

Thinking of this, Han Tao also breathed a sigh of relief, but instead said in a serious and righteous way that he would investigate this matter, which naturally blocked all other possibilities. After all, this is Jingzhao Mansion, and this Han Tao is also the chief official of Jingzhao Mansion, so it can be seen that Han Tao is really a smart person, calm in case of trouble, and excellent coping methods.

As for the matter of collecting the Western Army's food tax, it is naturally inseparable from this prefect Han Tao, no matter how bold the Yacha is, it is only a small amount of money such as a benefit fee, where can he dare to open his mouth and force a cloth store to pay this money.

"Extortion is common. Governor Han is not more worried about this little thing. Although Tong Guan roughly knew the context of the matter in his heart, he didn't say much, and he didn't think about whether to make a mess on the way back to Beijing.

Regardless of this matter, Tong Guan is also like a fish in his throat, if it is a general greedy thing, Tong Guan has seen too much, and he will not pay attention to it, and it is not Tong Guan's turn to pay attention to it. But at this time, even Tong Guan, a money-loving person, felt a little disgusting. It is not wrong for the Western Army to fight, and Tong Guan himself is also in the battle array.

If someone uses this to blackmail the people for money, isn't it just using Tong Guan himself to blackmail?

Zheng Zhi is even more disgusting, such a method to collect money, the appearance of eating is really ugly. But there was some joy in my heart, and I was worried that I couldn't find fault, so such a good excuse was sent to everyone.

Zheng Zhi looked back at Pei Xuan again, Pei Xuan didn't look up, his body straightened and he just buried his head in hitting the horse.

Looking at the rest of the people, most of them don't look good.

Zheng Zhi looked up again at the Han Governor's Mansion who was leading the way with his feet in front of his head, but he didn't feel much burden, but raised his head high, and his temperament was neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked like a living Bao Longtu.

Zheng Zhi smiled on his face and thought, Lao Tzu will do it with you. If you can't control the affairs of the world, you have to take care of the affairs at hand, not to mention that Pei Xuan is now with him, so he will also avenge this brother.
