Chapter 3 Linzi is heavily burdened with double taxes
Lu Yan took the lamp back to the room, and carefully protected the envelope on his chest, this may be the first big man he met in ancient times, if he is not good in the future, he will definitely go to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Cang's person Lu Yan still knows a lot, anyway, there are very few people who know him, but his master and his fellow disciples are very clear that his master is Xunzi, and his fellow disciples are Li Si and Han Feizi.
Now that he has come to BC, Lu Yan doesn't want modern things, he lived a bit of a wreck in his previous life, and he didn't achieve anything in his twenties, he just hopes that he will no longer be so unproductive in this life.
With his excellent history, he doesn't look like a big man, I'm really sorry for myself, I'm here, and it's okay to just do a big job here.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yan tidied up his clothes, and after saying goodbye to the old lady, he rushed to the courtyard in the alley, although Lu Yan was only twelve years old, but he was the only male in the family, so he had to attend.
One of the three elders is Lu Yan's uncle, named Lu Youzhi, in the official position formulated by King Qin, he was originally the pavilion chief, and later changed to a rank official, and he is well-known in the township.
Usually, Lu Yan's family affairs are all handled by Lu Youzhi, bypassing an alley, which is the location of the township association, when Lu Yan passed, almost everyone had already arrived, but their faces were not very good-looking.
Lu Yan walked in very respectfully, and first greeted his uncle, "Uncle Lu is polite." Lu Yan was a little nervous, after all, Lu Yan usually didn't like to deal with others.
If this uncle's appearance hadn't been for the family tree, he would really be a little unrecognizable, "Ziyu is here, sit down and wait for the others first." Lu Youzhi said with some frustration.
"Could it be that Uncle Fei has something on his mind? Why is it so sullen? Lu Yan asked tentatively.
Lu Youzhi touched Lu Yan's little brain, and the only smile on his face was squeezed out, "Ziyu, you are just recovering from a serious illness, just rest well, there are some things I will tell Sister-in-law Lu." ”
Lu Yan nodded, it seems that everyone now treats themselves as children, no way, the current appearance is indeed only twelve or thirteen years old, and it is difficult for others to treat you as an adult.
Just when Lu Yan was thinking, a hand was put on his shoulder, "Ziyu, you haven't come out for the past few days, I thought something happened to you?" ”
With the voice, Lu Yan turned around and saw that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but his face was a little sallow, probably due to the family environment.
Looking at Lu Yan's puzzled eyes, the young man was also at a loss, "You don't know me anymore, I am your eldest brother Lu Jing Lu Ziwen." The young man looked at Lu Yan and said.
"It turned out to be Brother Ziwen, I'm really embarrassed, I was thinking about things just now, I didn't pay attention, why did you come to the township meeting today." Lu Yan said slowly.
Lu Jing looked at Lu Yan's complexion, it seemed to be much better than before, he was no longer sick, and he was a little happy in his heart, "I heard that there is an edict in Xianyang, it doesn't seem to be a good thing, and now that Emperor Qin is on the throne, there must be nothing bad." Lu Jing said comfortingly.
While the two were talking, almost all the clansmen came, and under Lu Youzhi's arrangement, the clansmen did a good job in the order of the eldest and youngest, and Lu Yan happened to sit with Lu Jing.
"Gather everyone today, there is only one so-called thing, Xianyang's edict has come down, and now Linzi's affairs have all been arranged, and things seem to be a little tricky." Lu Youzhi said slowly.
The people below are a little numb, and now they are in a good mood when they hear that the Seven Kingdoms are merging and the world is peaceful, but there are only a few patriots of the Qi Kingdom, and all of them were arrested by King Qin.
Lu Youzhi paced back and forth on it, and finally took out the wooden tablet in his hand, "The king of Qin has an order, and there are anti-Qin people in Linzi, if it is peaceful today, the king refuses to be too even, from today onwards, the taxes in Linzi will be doubled, and the levy of the people will be reduced from sixteen to eleven years old, and Wangxiang County will be implemented quickly." ”
After reading the words on the wooden tablet, there was an uproar below.
"The Qin people have self-esteem, and now that they have lowered their self-esteem, they still treat us like this! How unreasonable! ”
"We can't abide by this law, some time ago, we have recruited people, and now we are going to be eleven years old, which is simply going to destroy my Qi people!" One by one, the squires below spoke.
Only Lu Yan sat there quietly after all, and at this time, a middle-aged man next to him directly pushed Lu Yan away, making Lu Yan a little dazed.
"It's all the parents of this kid, who led to the condemnation of King Qin, if your father was arrested that day, there wouldn't be so many things at all." The middle-aged man was about to kick Lu Yan as he spoke.
Fortunately, Ziwen reacted quickly and pushed the middle-aged man away, "Don't hurt my brother." At the same time, he used his body to block Lu Yan's body, where did Lu Yan go through such a thing, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Today, Lu Yan's family must get out of the Lu clan, everything is because his father rebelled against Qiang Qin." The people around him also said one after another.
After all, he couldn't beat Qiang Qin, he could only be in the nest, Lu Yan flicked his shirt and slowly got up from the ground, and Lu Jing was very careful to protect him.
"You people only know that my father, my father was not a man for you, usually there is only one strong man in a family, why is there three in our family, usually my father is benevolent to you, but now he is in trouble, you don't even let us women and children go! deserves to be destroyed by Qin. Lu Yan said loudly.
At the same time, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards his home, the anger on the faces of the people in the courtyard turned into helplessness, and they just watched Lu Yan leave.
"You people are really, there were only one old and one young in Lu Yan's family, and they were forced by you so aggressively, it's really hateful!" Lu Youzhi said in a deep voice, and at the same time shook his hand and left the compound.
Lu Jing followed, it was said that although Lu Yan's father was anti-Qin, he was just a person, and there were countless anti-Qin people in the entire Linzi.
But looking at their appearance, there is no remorse at all, "Anyway, Lu Yan's family is a disaster, and his father alone affects the entire villagers." The middle-aged man still said with a clear conscience.
The others were a little indifferent, and walked towards their homes one after another, doubling the taxes, and reducing the number of people to eleven years old, which literally killed them.
As soon as Lu Yan stepped into the door, he was invited by Yuwan to the old lady's room.
"Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you embarrassed? The old lady looked at Lu Yan and said.
"The king of Qin issued an edict that the taxes in Linzi were doubled, and the levy of the people was reduced to eleven years old, but the people blamed my father for this matter, and I just theorized." Lu Yan said slowly.
"What, you're telling the truth?" The old lady only felt dizzy, and Lu Yan stepped forward and hurriedly supported the old lady so that the old lady would not fall.
