Huang Dalang is only thirteen years old now, which is indeed a bit unacceptable, but whether he accepts it or not, Huatong and others did lose the competition with the Sun family brothers, and even the seed player Hu Ren was defeated in the hands of the substitute player Sun Qiniang, so he was willing to temporarily help the Huang family.

It is said that a green forest hero like Huatong yearns for a free life in the rivers and lakes, even if there is the friendship of Lei Leopard in it, it is impossible to simply tie them up now. In fact, Huang Dalang knew that a team of three melons and two dates like them couldn't be eaten in the green forest now.

First of all, as a fat sheep, the local tyrants and gentry and wealthy families will not open the door of the house and wait for them to start, and the manpower of the nursing home will naturally raise as much as they can afford to raise, maybe it is useless to deal with the top masters, but it is still reliable to use it to guard against small thieves. The second is that although it is the world of the Zhao family today, but the strongmen who fall into the grass are everywhere, so naturally they have to divide the chassis, how can the thieves have to sit on the thief, so a team like Huatong is pouring out to see if there is any fruit to eat, but they dare not go to other people's cottage sites to grab food.

Therefore, Lei Bao also told the truth, in recent days, everyone has not been short of wine money, and after learning that the flower and stone gang in Qichun County are rich, he also knows that he can't swallow it.

Therefore, this is the reason why Lei Bao persuaded them to stay in the Huang family as helpers, and then plan Huashigang.

It's just that the ancestors of the Sun brothers were originally born in the army, and now the two of them also think that their martial arts can go to the army, so naturally they are still a little bit of a catty, so they are hanging. Looking back, even a baby under the age of fourteen like Huang Dalang can follow Huatong in more than a dozen moves under the teaching of the Sun brothers, and what kind of temper can Huatong have?

Hua Tong didn't dare to think that he had to go through more than a dozen tricks with a teenage child to win, and it was like a seven-foot strong man beating a child, what kind of face did he have to say that he was glorious?

There is not much gossip, I heard that Huang Dalang is really not yet fourteen years old, Huatong can only admit it, and should promise to help the Huang family for three years. Huang Dalang is also generous, promising ten times a month to make the bottom, and there are additional dividends when he goes out, which is not too shabby.

Then Sun Qiniang and the children were asked to disperse, and the rest of the people went to the hall to discuss matters.

After everyone was seated, Hua Tong said, "These three days ago...... No, it should have been on the afternoon of August 26, and the Hu Ren brothers found out that Qichun County had set a date, that is, the summer tax would be shipped to Huangzhou on the first day of September. ”

In the later period of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were strict regulations on the payment of taxes by various roads and state capitals, which was called "the daily limit for the two taxes of the states", which was very detailed.

For example: "Kaifeng Mansion, Jingdong Road State Army; Jingxi Henan, Huaining, Yingchangfu, Zheng, Ru, Meng, Hua and other prefectures; Huainan Su, Hao, Qi, Hai, Tongzhou, Lianshui Army; Hebei Daming, Kaide, Xindefu, En, Hebei, Bo, Bin, Di, Huai, Wei, Wei, Ci, Xiang, Jun and other prefectures; Shaanxi Jingzhao, Fengxiang, Hezhongfu, Shaanxi, Tong, Hua, Qin, Long, Yao, Dan, Huan, Feng, Yu, Xie and other prefectures, security army; Hedong Longde Mansion, Ze, Liao, Yizhou, Weisheng Army; Jingmen Army, Jinghu North Road, above the right, starts on May 15 and ends on July 15. ”

And Jiangnan, Liangzhejiang, Fujian, Guangnan East and West, Jinghu South Road, West Sichuan Road, Jiangling Fu, E, Yue, Li, Gui, Chen, Xiazhou, Changde Fu, Huainan Wuwei Army, above the right and from May 15, as far as August 15.

As for Hebei Zhending, Zhongshan, Qingyuanfu, Xiong, Ba, Ying, Mo, Cang, De, Qi (Qi), Bao, Shen and other prefectures, Qianning, Guangxin, Ansu, Yongjing, Xin'an, Baoding, Yongning and other armies; Pingyang Prefecture in the east of the river, Ci, Xi and other prefectures, pacifying the army, above the right and starting from May 15, as far as September 5.

Qichun County belongs to Huangzhou, which in turn belongs to Huainan West Road, so the summer tax should have been collected on July 15, but in recent years, all parts along the river have been generally affected, so it can be postponed for some time. It was only in accordance with the laws of the imperial court that the autumn tax was collected nationwide on September 15, so the summer tax had to be released to Huangzhou.

He said, Hu Ren took the flower call and said: "This time to escort the summer tax, ask Hu to find out that there are 200 archers and officials in Qichun County, and 15 tax vehicles are covered. There were about 30 people sent by the officials of the Ying Feng Bureau, and 50 people were recruited to cover 14 carts, and it was expected that they would travel 60 miles a day and arrive in Huangzhou within three days. ”

Zhu Gao continued: "I bought a white errand officer, and found out from other places that the big carts that should be served by the bureau, of which eight taels were drawn to flowers and stones and strange trees, and two were carrying more than a dozen beams and columns, and the remaining four cars must be loaded with gold, silver and money." ”

("White work" is also a temporary worker, and the three-class government of the ancient county government is also in short supply, and some temporary workers who are not established and cannot receive the state's salary will be recruited to work, and the county official himself or the big family in the county will donate money to pay wages.) ）

Zhang He also took out a map made of leather from his arms, spread it out and pointed to a few abstract lines on the map and said: "I pretended to be a small servant in the building, and secretly overheard, and the messenger who should be in charge of the bureau also knew that this money was attracting people's eyes, so he planned to go to Huangzhou and send half of the officials to send the people to Bianliang by land with flowers, stones, strange trees and other things, and the rest generally took the money from Huangzhou to the river by boat and went to Hangzhou to point Mao." ”

Hua Tong clapped his hands and said: "I also heard before, the head of the people who should be sent by the bureau went to several ticket number money houses in Qichun County to ask, and wanted to exchange the money for flying money and take it away. These money bank ticket numbers also knew that this batch of silver money was hot, so they all shirked it, and only said that if they could be sent to the Huangzhou branch to exchange, they thought that the killing billets who should come to the bureau must have planned to exchange the money for flying money in Huangzhou and take it away. ”

Listening to a few people summarizing the information, Huang Dalang couldn't detect what great news was contained in it, so he could only listen to a few people discuss, and even the Sun brothers couldn't interject. In the end, Lei Bao made a decision, and waited for the other party to come to the door in Huangzhou, as long as he stared at the ticket numbers of several money banks in Huangzhou City, he was not afraid that this group of people would fly away.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, and at noon, a continuous procession of three or four hundred people rushed into the east gate of Huangzhou, led by 200 Qichun County archers wearing uniforms, followed by about 50 county officials and more than 100 people, escorting four large carts with widened spokes, each car was loaded with eight wooden boxes with the county government fire paint seal, dragged by six sturdy donkeys.

It was followed by fourteen ox carts of larger specifications and sizes, ten of which were six feet wide and nine feet long, with some exotic flowers and plants and boulder rockeries placed on them. In the middle, there were four silver carts the size of the previous team, and there were also eight wooden boxes on them, but they were all sealed with bright yellow paper.

When the convoy entered the city, no one saw it, and a man in the crowd of onlookers sneered and lowered the sunshade hat on his head and disappeared in the crowd after seeing that the car of the rear team should also enter the city.
