In June, the biggest thing in Beijing is the battle for tax exemption.

In the court, Sanyang and a group of officials who were promoted by studying dismembered the tax-free strategy proposed by the emperor. The most sufficient reason for the opposition was that the Empress Dowager was worried about competing with the people for profit.

The emperor wanted to talk about the practice of levying commercial tax, Sanyang immediately spoke, their meaning was very clear, even the commercial tax could not be levied, so there was no need to talk about the collection of commercial tax, even if it was to be levied, it was also given to the people's tax to use the people's tax, and if it was to be levied, it should be levied in Shanxi. The court has become a vegetable market, and there is no system, and some old Wen Cheng is actually above the court, so excited that he is in tears, and he is incontinent. The result of several court meetings was that the emperor brushed his sleeves away, and the Wencheng returned victorious.

This matter shook the government and the opposition, and the streets and alleys of the capital were talking about it.

Slowly, some strange theories began to become popular in the capital, saying that Sanyang was overthrowing the emperor and seeking private interests, and most of the merchants in the capital were family members and relatives of Sanyang's protégés. Suddenly, like a hurricane swept by, the sediment was flooded, and the backstage of many large shops and restaurants in the golden area pointed to the civil official series such as Sanyang. Overnight, the civil servants all lost their voices.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang heard the news, arrested the people who spread rumors, and investigated the source of the rumors, but to no avail.

It was another ten years of the court meeting, and above the court, the civil officials were like wood carvings, and no one spoke. The emperor's voice echoed, and the tax-free strategy was completely determined. Some officials, including Sanyang, were designated to collect commercial taxes in a certain area, with a minimum number of them and a defined duration. Subsequently, in the emperor's full of anger and personal announcement of the dispersal of the court, the designated officials walked out of the hall with heavy steps, looked at each other, and left without saying a word.

Xu Xi smiled, saw Wang You come out, smiled, and said, "Congratulations to Wang Shilang." ”

Wang You was extremely happy in his heart, if he hadn't taken the big tree of the prince, he would definitely be in the position of Langzhong until he was old, how could this waiter of the Ministry of Works fall on his head. Seeing Xu Xi's congratulations, he hurriedly said: "Xu Shangshu, happy and happy." ”

Xu Xi brushed his long beard and said, "This is all due to the vigorous cultivation of Father Weng." ”

It really depends on Wang Zhen, otherwise this military department secretary will get him as an old squire.

"I heard that your clan brother Wang Wen is very good, and he is still satisfied in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Xu Xi asked with a smile.

Wang You was stunned for a moment, then understood, and hurriedly replied: "Lai Shangshu asked, the younger brother of the Xiaguan clan is also full of wealth, but unfortunately it is only a seven-grade imperial history." ”

"yes, low, low." Xu Xi nodded and said, "It's time to mention it to Father Weng and his old man, Wang Shilang, go and say goodbye to Father Weng in the future and take him for a walk." ”

Wang You's eyes lit up, and he repeatedly said yes......

The vigorous tax exemption and collection of commercial taxes were spread out in the capital, and the Shuncheon Prefecture was not far behind, drawing back all its hands and devoting itself to this great movement.

When Tong Hang heard about this, he just smiled slightly. He didn't have the energy to talk about it, he devoted all his energy to increasing the range of the musket and sharpening the sight lenses.

During this time, all the Black Tiger spies sank to the bottom of the water and lay dormant. Only Li Luoqing and his lady butterfly were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and the qualified spies trained in Haizhou Valley poured into the capital in large numbers, and were stuffed into the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles by his husband and wife, acting as doormen, coachmen, or nurses, or maids and cooks.

A long wall was added around the periphery of the Black Tiger Village, and a lot of land was encircled, and according to Tong Hang's idea from later generations, many rows of adobe houses were built, which were scattered. At the beginning of July, everything was completed, and Chen Ji led many members of the Black Tiger team to mobilize the people of Zhengcunba and moved into Waizhuang. The people who have lived in thatched houses for most of their lives are smiling when they enter the tall, spacious and bright adobe houses.

The thatched houses in Zhengcunba are all occupied by the Black Tiger members. Use it, it's a good house for us anyway! In addition to being grateful, the people are still grateful, and even Li Zheng is desperate to follow Black Tiger Village, what else can we do?

The people of several surrounding villages were immersed in joy, and Tong Hang was even more joyful. Because yesterday, there was a new experimental musket with a range of 300 paces, what kind of concept is that, doubled! It used to be one hundred and fifty steps, the barrel was lengthened, the whole tube was changed to a whole tube, the medicine pool was improved, the ignition of the outer lead was changed to the ignition of the impact flint, and the range and power increased exponentially, which is a great news!

Tong Hang held the musket and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, that is, the weight has increased a lot! The sight was also attached, and according to his train of thought, the crosshair was added to the lens. He leaned on the ground, leveled the musket, and aimed three hundred paces away, but before he could put the gun, his hand was sore.

He put down his gun and beckoned to Hao Jie.

Hao Jie hurriedly trotted over, squatted down and asked, "What else does the instructor command?" ”

"This musket is too heavy, can you add a bracket?" Tong Hang said: "I'll draw a picture for you in a while, and I'll try to make one according to the picture." ”

Hao Jie hurriedly agreed.

Tong Hang raised his gun and aimed at the arrow target in the distance. Bang, let go of the gun.

The target in the distance hurriedly ran over and raised the flag to report that he had hit the heart.

Hao Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Tong Hang stood up, patted the soil on his body, nodded and said, "Not bad!" According to this musket, let's build dozens more. ”

Hao Jie stood up with a bitter face and said, "Instructor, this kind of musket is time-consuming, it is too material-intensive, and the glass is not enough to polish so many sight lenses." To make such a musket, you can make thirty or forty muskets of one hundred and fifty paces. ”

"Such a waste?" Tong Hang couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Then according to what I said before, let's make ten." Ten sticks is enough, right? ”

Hao Jie nodded repeatedly.

"The tax exemption in the capital is coming to an end, and Shuntianfu will not give us any more time. How many days can 10 sticks be completed? Tong Hang was a little worried, the haunting Shuntian Mansion was busy with tax exemption, and he would definitely find trouble with Black Tiger Village when he was free. There are too many spies who killed them in front, even if it's okay, people will suspect it, not to mention that there are too many secrets here.

"Everything else is easy to say, it's just that this long barrel is too difficult to make, and at present, three of these barrels have been made, even if they are made in shifts at night and ten guns are completed, it will be after seven or eight days."

"So long? How about five days, five days? Tong Hang was anxious and said, "Just five days!" Only five days! ”

“…… All right. Hao Jie also knows that even if the instructor can be lenient, then Shuntianfu will not be lenient!

Tong Hang nodded and said, "Stop the manufacture of mines and grenades, as well as the ordinary muskets, and make these ten sniper muskets first." ”

"If that's the case, it can be done in five days, maybe earlier." Hao Jie said busily.

"Okay, then in five days, I'm going to see ten sniper muskets!" Tong Hang patted Hao Jie on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You can work hard a little more in the past few days, and then give you a few days off and sleep well." ”

Hao Jie smiled......

As Tong Hang expected, just after the end of early July, the tax-free collection in the capital was completed. Jiang Tao of the Shuntian Prefecture Bureau gathered all the people of the Provincial Government Office to gather in the government office to discuss the elimination of Zhengcunba Manor.

The news was sent to the desk of Tong Hang's study in Black Tiger Village in the evening of the same day. Tong Hang was anxious overnight for Geng Junhong, Chen Ji and others to hold a meeting, study it, and arrange it. Only Tong Hang said that everyone else acted as puppets!

The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, it burned people's scalps. The compound of the Shuncheon Prefecture is full of black heads.

Jiang Tao and Zhan Fucheng walked out of the lobby, stood on the steps of the door, and glanced at them. The noisy courtyard fell silent, and all the officials looked at them together.

Jiang Tao cleared his throat and said: "Raising soldiers for a thousand years is said to be a time to use soldiers, nonsense Jiang will not say much, today we are going to Zhengcunba to exterminate a group of thugs." In the past few months, everyone knows that first the son of the Wang Shilang family of the Ministry of Industry died inexplicably in Zhaohui Jinggongfang, and then the arson case of the side hall of the Confucian Temple and our Shuntian Government Department, and the robbery of the Liuli Factory last month, Jiang Mou thinks that they did it! Lang Lang Qiankun, peaceful and prosperous times, they are so mad, do whatever they want, and disregard people's lives! We need to bring them to justice! All you use your life, and you are making contributions now! ”

It's right now! The crowd couldn't help but be enthusiastic.

Jiang Tao saw that everyone was excited, nodded, waved his big hand, and roared: "Let's go!" ”

The officials shouted, and a group began to leak out of the open gate. On the street, he went straight to Dongzhimen with high spirits.

"The military heart is available!" Jiang Tao turned his head and said to Zhan Fucheng: "The old man led them out to suppress the bandits, and Lord Zhan is on duty at the government office." ”

Zhan Fucheng seemed to have something to say, but after all, he didn't say anything, he just arched his hand and said, "I wish Brother Boyuan success!" ”

Jiang Tao nodded, took the reins handed over by the officer, and got on his horse......

(I will revise it tomorrow because I am on a business trip, and I am sorry that everyone is great)
