After the patrol of the Security Army swept the entire city of Linyi with sticks, the tax bureau of the Security Army appeared again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info their clothes are almost the same as those of the security army, but the color is not black but blue, claiming to be the tax police of the Security Bureau, collecting taxes from shop to shop in Linyi City, and even the street vendors do not let go.

Robbing money is just saying that it is just robbing money, and what taxes are charged, and each store dares to be angry and dare not speak, which is better than the entire store being robbed. However, these tax policemen were very disciplined when robbing money, neither noisy nor noisy, calling out the boss to ask about the turnover of the store, and then calculating a amount to be paid, and asking the boss whether to pay it now or to pay it himself in the yamen. Of course, the people did not dare to go to the county government to pay taxes, is that a place where ordinary people can go? After collecting the tax on the spot, the tax police of the security army gave the boss a beautifully printed note stating the amount paid. Tell the boss to keep it well, this is a tax stamp, proof that the tax has been paid, and if you lose it, it will cause trouble.

For a few large businesses, the tax police also left several copies of the "Security Tax Law" after collecting taxes, saying that the regulations on tax collection are all on it. Although the merchant paid the tax, his heart was relieved, it seems that the security army still has a degree of robbing things, and the tax rate charged is not high, so it does not make the merchant unable to live. Looking at the beautifully printed tax stamps, some merchants kept them carefully, which must have been exchanged for silver. Some merchants directly threw the tax stamps in the wind, robbing the silver and pretending to be good people, but it didn't take long for them to regret it, because the tax police of the security army came to check the tax situation in a few days, and those who couldn't get the tax stamps had to pay double, and several bosses who were entangled with the tax police were directly arrested and put into the prison of the county government, waiting for their families to take the money to ransom people. Several businessmen who falsely reported their turnover and underpaid taxes were even fined silver, and the tax police also said that this was a first offense, and if there was a direct confiscation of the store next time.

This time, the merchants learned the importance of the tax stamps, and after receiving them, they took good care of them, and they no longer dared to throw them away. A merchant was afraid that he would not find it when he arrived, so he made a wooden sign, pasted the tax stamps on it, and hung it in the store, waiting for the security guard and the tax police to check it at any time. Other businesses saw that this method was good and followed suit.

The tax police are not so polite to the itinerant small traders, and only one sentence: "Pay the tax." "Although the small traders have to pay a pitiful amount of tax, the people wonder if this small tax is enough to pay the tax police. There are still hawkers who refuse to pay or are delusional about escaping. The tax police unceremoniously arrested them in the county office, and it was said that they would have to serve 10 days of hard labor before they could be released. It didn't take a few days for the people of Linyi to get used to this kind of life, and they found that as long as they lived in a proper manner, no one would interfere with their lives as required by the security forces. There is no need to worry about the extortion of the officials, because no one will dare to ask for any other money if the tax stamps are hung there, and there is no need to worry about the ruffians coming to extort them, because the patrol of the security army with sticks will appear after a shout. Now looking at the sticks in their hands, there is a sense of security.

Seeing that Linyi had settled down, Zhang Chu reorganized his troops and horses, left part of the city to defend the city, and led the rest of the team to prepare to recover the other four counties around Yuncheng.

At this time, a guard came in to report that Wang Guobin wanted to see Zhang Chu.

Wang Guobin came in and saluted and said, "I saw that the commander was reorganizing his troops and horses, and I thought that he was going to attack the other four counties around Yuncheng. ”

"That's exactly what I mean." There is nothing to hide from Wang Guobin. Zhang Chu just wondered why Wang Guobin asked about it.

"I want to ask the marshal for permission, let me go and persuade the four counties to come and surrender, if I can fight without blood, it is not only the blessing of the marshal, but also the blessing of the people." Wang Guobin explained.

"That's too dangerous, isn't it?" Zhang Chu is really worried about Wang Guobin's life and death, if the stubborn county order arrests him and dedicates him to the court or even kills him directly to boost morale, won't this Wang Guobin confess.

"It doesn't matter, there are big commanders and soldiers pressing the border, I have a good personal relationship with them, and there will be no danger." Wang Guobin is very resolute.

"Then I'll send someone to protect you." The more Wang Guobin is like this, the more Zhang Chu doesn't want him to be in danger.

"No, I don't want anyone else to take risks." Wang Guobin is very open-minded.

Zhang Chu didn't say anything more, and agreed with Wang Guobin to persuade Sicheng. Wang Guobin did not delay, and immediately got up and went to lobby the magistrate of the four cities.

The magistrate of Xia County, who was the first to surrender, came to Linyi alone to meet Zhang Chu, saying that he had listened to Wang Guobin's advice and came to surrender, willing to sacrifice Xia County, hoping that the security army would protect the safety of the people in Xia County.

Zhang Chu immediately led people into Xia County, took over the county seat according to the model of Linyi, and the patrol team carrying sticks and the tax police who could only collect money quickly controlled the situation in Xia County.

Within a few days, the magistrates of Ruicheng, Pinglu, and Yongji counties also came to join the security army one after another. Wang Guobin also returned to Zhang Chu's camp safely.

Zhang Chu was really a little impressed by this Wang Guobin. Not only do they have the courage to take risks alone, but they also have the means to make it not a simple matter to surrender to the magistrates of the four counties. Zhang Chu was very satisfied with Wang Guobin's performance, so he decided to promote Wang Guobin's official.

The Yuncheng Special Zone was established, which included Yuncheng and several surrounding counties. An official from Zhongyang, who had followed Zhang Chu for a long time, served as the head of the special district, and Wang Guobin became the deputy head of the district.

Wang Guobin had never heard of the official title of this district head, but he knew that the territory under his jurisdiction was larger, his power was greater, and of course he had more life.

According to Zhang Chu's arrangement, the security army conducted a trial of the wealthy merchants in Yuncheng, and was not polite to the merchants and salt Ding Zhang Chu who participated in resisting the attack of the security army.

The confiscated rice and grain were taken out by Zhang Chu to recruit hungry people and build fortifications in various cities in the Special Administrative Region. Zhang Chu wanted to build each city into a strong fortress to resist the attacks of the official army or other rebel armies.

Wang Guobin was busy with the deployment of personnel and supplies, and saw with his own eyes a large number of artillery pieces transported by the security forces everywhere, and fully realized how wise it was for him to surrender immediately without resistance.

He saw the miraculous cement that the security forces had brought over long distances. Dusty things, like water and ordinary mud, can be made into any shape, but when they are dried, they are as hard as stone, and it is very difficult to break through castles made of such things. Wang Guobin faintly felt that he was on the right path.

The security army stabilized the city and extended its tentacles to the countryside, and under the escort of the security army of the brigade, the armor protection system of each village was established. The administrators of the security army have been engaged in these things for several years, and everything is familiar with the road, and several large families with resistance have also kept their mouths shut under the pressure of the security army soldiers.

The circuit courts, which followed the security forces, also began propaganda work in various places, and the people began to wait and see. When several heinous landlords and bullies were tried by the court and executed by the security forces, the people finally believed that this place called the court was a place to redress grievances, and the number of complainants gradually increased. After many wicked people who endangered the township and oppressed the people were cleaned up by the security army, the security army gained a firm foothold in the countryside around Yuncheng.
