When Su Jun and Liu Jingting returned to the official post, it was already close to the end of the day.

Su Tiancheng has always been a little worried, since Li Zixiong has such a skill, can he also detect the whereabouts of Su Jun and Liu Jingting, there is no need to think about safety, the key is not to grasp the real situation.

When the two arrived at the official post, Su Tiancheng was really relieved.

However, when the two entered the official post, they also encountered some small troubles, there were people outside the official post who blocked them and did not allow them to enter, and Su Jun was allowed to enter the official post after taking out the documents he carried with him.

Su Tiancheng no longer had the heart to be angry, he needed to know what the two had found out.

Su Jun and Liu Jingting's expressions were not very good, as if they were both angry.

This is not a good sign, it means that the two of them must have met something, and it only takes a day to make the two of them have such a reaction, which is probably not a trivial matter.

Su Tiancheng told the two of them not to worry, if there is anything, just say it slowly, the implication is that there is some criticism of Su Jun, no matter what you see, you can't have too much emotional performance, as for Liu Jingting, the storyteller has abundant emotional cells, and he will not suppress his emotions, otherwise he will not be able to tell the story well.

Su Jun looked at Liu Jingting and spoke.

"Young master, the little one went to the bazaar to see, this generation is mainly engaged in wheat noodles, one stone of wheat noodles and eight dollars of silver, the small one thought it was wrong, where did it come from such a high price, asked several, all of them were like this, the small one couldn't figure it out, thought it was the merchant who was too black-hearted, such a price, who could afford it, and then the small one walked around the state city for a long time. Seeing two salt shops, the small one went to inquire, one or two salts, the price is two taels of silver, the price of this Shaanzhou, so that the small one does not know his head. Thinking about it, Shaanzhou is not rich to that extent. ”

The villain went to a stall on the side of the road, while eating, chatting with the guy, inquiring about the situation, angry and scolding, the guy said, the price of wheat noodles and salt is determined by the government. Henan Province was harassed by the Liukou, and the government wanted to exterminate the Liukou, but there was no silver, so the price of wheat flour and salt was very high, for example, one stone of wheat noodles, eight coins of silver, half of which had to be taken out. It was handed over to the government and used to exterminate the rogues. ”

"A little thought. There is some truth in saying this, if the rogues can be exterminated as soon as possible, and the people can live a peaceful life, the price of wheat and salt will naturally drop. ”

Who knew the words that came out of the back of the guy in the back of the road, and the little one was dumbfounded. The guy said, all this silver is to be given to the Jiangning camp, and the government said that the Jiangning camp is very powerful, and it was transferred from Nanzhili to Henan Mansion. It is to exterminate the rogues, not to mention the high prices of wheat noodles and salt, even the roadside stalls, and they must also pay five dollars of silver every month to suppress the bandits. ”

"The little one was angry, but he wanted to ask clearly, but the guy didn't dare to say it, or the shopkeeper came over, and saw that the small one didn't look like a person from the government, so he opened his mouth to say, and the shopkeeper said, in fact, he had to hand over the silver before, but there was not so much, and he could barely maintain it, but after the tenth day of the first month, the inspection department suddenly said that he had to hand over so much silver, and if he couldn't hand it over, don't think about it."

"The shopkeeper also said that it is willing to exterminate the rogues and give out the silver, but they must also be able to bear it, the scattered stalls on the roadside may not be able to earn five dollars of silver a month, and if they hand over five dollars of silver, they will not be able to sustain it."

"The small one asked the shopkeeper, those big shops, how to pay the silver, if according to this algorithm, wouldn't it be impossible to maintain, just say a stone of wheat noodles, pay four dollars of silver, if there are other taxes, ordinary business households, it is also impossible to maintain, the shopkeeper was reluctant to say at first, and then the small said that he wanted to come to Shaanzhou to find a living, but also wanted to buy and sell grain, the shopkeeper spoke, the shopkeeper told the small, thinking about doing business in Shaanzhou, or doing big business, and the government to have a good relationship, everything is easy to say, Either don't come to Shaanzhou, it can't be maintained without a relationship. ”

The little one felt strange, and asked a few words, did it mean that the big shops didn't need to hand over the silver, and the shopkeeper's face changed, and he didn't dare to say more, so he waved his hand again and again and said that he didn't know what to say.

"The small one went to the outside of the state city, and asked about the situation of the nearby cultivated land, at first no one said, the small one thought of some way, and then someone told the small one, the surrounding land, all of which are the land of the gentry and wealthy families in the state city, and many proprietors, in fact, are not in the state city, they all went to Luoyang or Kaifeng, this generation of rogues likes to come, and people are not willing to be frightened here."

"The little one said that there was no way to live at home, and when he came here, he thought that he could lease some land to cultivate, and saw that the price of food in the state city was very high, and he must be able to earn some silver by farming, and people regarded the small one as a monster."

"After the most Lu had an old man tell the small, renting land, the stomach is not full, and thinking about making silver, but I am afraid that it is a dream, this acre of land, to be able to receive a stone of wheat noodles, it is very good, the owner will take away seven buckets, that is, seventy percent, the remaining three buckets are their own, is to think of selling Lu, the government stipulated, a stone of wheat noodles, the purchase price is two dollars of silver, if anyone dares to buy and sell privately, it is collusion with the rogue, is a thief."

"The old man told the little one that over the years, many tenants really couldn't survive, and they had suffered a famine for several years in a row, and the owner didn't think about exempting the rent, but brought the servants to collect the rent, and those who couldn't pay the rent, and if there were girls in the family, they would sell them to Goolan to pay off the debts, and if there were boys in the family, they would enter the owner's house to make cattle and horses to pay off the debts, and after a few years, many tenants had run away and didn't dare to rent the land."

When he said this, Su Junhe couldn't control his emotions a little, after all, he had been in the county government of Jiangning County for a long time, serving as the secretary of the torture room and the secretary of the household, and he knew the following situation, the people of Shaanxi, the need to suppress bandits by the government, one by one, to exterminate the rogues, and even pull out the back of the Jiangning camp, this practice is too dirty.

The government forced the people to rebel, and in such a place, there is no need for rogues to come, and at a certain time, the local people will rebel.

In fact, Su Jun has already discovered such signs.

"Young master, the little Yu Lu saw a tenant who looked a little young, and said a few words viciously, if it continues like this, he can't survive, and he can't cheapen the owner, isn't it just a life."

"The little one was very surprised, and hurriedly asked about the situation, it turned out that this tenant was a native of Shaanzhou, and it was difficult to leave his homeland, so he did not leave, he also had land before, but he had no choice but to encounter a famine, there was no harvest in the field, and the government wanted to rent the field, so he had to buy some land, pay taxes, and slowly, a few acres of cultivated land were all sold, and finally became a tenant."

When Su Jun said this, Su Tiancheng couldn't help but interrupt.

"Su Jun, you have to figure out that the imperial court has exempted Shaanzhou from paying taxes for several years, where is there still such a thing as paying taxes."

"The little one is strange, and I have asked, and the little one said that he came from outside, that is, he heard that this place in Shaanzhou is very concerned, and it seems that he has been exempted from taxes for many years, so he came, who knows that the tenant of Lu Dao, including the old man who talked to the small one, does not know that Lu Dao is such a situation, and he has to pay taxes every year."

When Su Jun said this, Su Tiancheng's face also changed, could it be said that Li Zixiong was so bold that even the imperial court's holy decree to exempt taxes would dare to conceal it, it is said that no one dares to do this, after all, it is a matter of losing his head, even if it is the emperor of Shaanzhou Mountain, there will always be a day when it is exposed.

This is just a one-sided statement, Su Tiancheng can't fully believe it, in his impression, no one has such great courage, and no official is so stupid, asking for money and not dying.

After Su Jun finished speaking, Su Tiancheng looked at Liu Jingting.

Liu Jingting's expression has always been bad, and he really did not hide his emotions.

"My lord, my subordinates went to the teahouse, the green building, and the restaurant, and I also looked at the nearby villages and towns, and the situation that Brother Su said was true, and the subordinates learned about these situations in the teahouse and restaurant, which is exactly the same as what Brother Su said."

Su Tiancheng was a little curious, what was Liu Jingting doing in the Qinglou, could he ask what the situation was.

Perhaps seeing Su Tiancheng's doubts, Liu Jingting quickly explained.

"My lord, my subordinates go to the Qinglou, mainly to find out the origin of the girl, if it is the girl in the Qinglou, most of them are local girls, there must be a problem in this place, no one will sell their own girls to the Qinglou, the subordinates go to the two Qinglou, and the girls in them are almost all local."

Su Tiancheng nodded, he really didn't expect this.

"My lord, my subordinates heard about something, Brother Su said it earlier, that is, about the Jiangning camp, many people in Shaanxi Province hate the Jiangning camp, just because the Jiangning camp came to Henan to exterminate the liukou, they can't live."

Su Tiancheng slowly stood up, and his expression returned to calm.

"Liu Jingting, I'm afraid there are some words, you don't want to say it here, it is estimated that my prefect has just taken office, and some people have scolded me, but I don't know my name, I am the guard commander of the Jiangning battalion, in the eyes of the people, I am the biggest vampire, the Jiangning battalion is coming to Henan Mansion, and the people of Shaanzhou want to raise the Jiangning battalion, and they want to provide the Jiangning battalion with food, drink and Lasa, and maybe they will also provide the prefect of my prefect."

Liu Jingting looked at Su Tiancheng, a little surprised, but nodded unconsciously, it seems that he did hear these words, in the market, when ordinary people chat, they will not have too many scruples, anyway, they will forget it.

Seeing Liu Jingting nodding, Su Tiancheng's heart was not only angry, he really didn't expect that when he arrived in Henan Mansion, he would be hacked like this before he started doing things. (To be continued......)
