Chapter 14: The Roar of the People

Huaxia seems to have a bad habit of subjectively overturning the achievements of his predecessor and starting new research when a new leader takes office.

It seems that if you don't do that, you won't be able to highlight your ability and the inevitability of your own superiority.

Chongzhen is a little kid, he is only sixteen years old this year, and when converted into a future child, he will graduate from junior high school about once. In this world, there seems to be no family that will allow a sixteen-year-old child to be in charge, unless the child is very demonic, such as Zhang Hongbin, a traverser.

Chongzhen is not a traverser, so at this moment, he still has the immaturity of a child and his ignorance of government affairs. Such a person, saying that it is half a bucket of water, can be said to lift him, and such a person is also the best to fool. No, he was fooled by the people of the Donglin Party, who denied all of Wei Zhongxian's political duties, and let him return to Wei Zhongxian's position, and at the same time, in order to improve the treasury to prove his ability, he imposed a nationwide increase in taxes.

Chongzhen, he is simply the gospel of the rebels, and without him he rebelled, I am afraid that it will really not be so smooth.

TOEFL, now the whole of Shaanxi is in the process of settling accounts after the fall. All the people had to pay all the taxes of the last year and this year, and of course the labor was doubled.

Not all the people have enough surplus, and even if they have surplus, they may not be able to pay taxes for two years, and it is still 50% higher. Officials at all levels may not be unaware of this, but when it comes to their black hats, they are especially worried that if they do not complete their tasks according to the targets, they will not be put on the hat of a 'eunuch', or rather, they are originally, just hoping to get rid of that hat.

Whatever the reason, the peasants had to suffer, and they didn't really know what the side effects of the peasants being oppressed to the extreme.

Yes, more than nine out of ten officials do not know how to administer at all!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Bagu Wenzhi and the Donglin Party were rampant, which official was familiar with government affairs? Even if it is familiar, who dares to be familiar with it?

One after another masters hired back, it was the expression of their own incompetence. As a result, his own money is not enough to invite the master, and the only way is to embezzle. Well, when the water is clear, there are no fish, everyone is like this, and they are not like that, and they can't get mixed up in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, at least that's what the master said. And it sounds like it's starting to make sense...... When did this happen? Oh, I guess it happened after my pocket was filled with silver before I knew it, right?

Well, this is to integrate into the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and this is to be able to better realize their ideals and benefit more people...... Had to do it!

Ma Yu, the county magistrate of Baishui County, is such a mediocre talent, who invited five masters and almost counted all government affairs. Usually he doesn't understand these government affairs, so he can only say that after the master has dealt with it, he will take a look at it and understand it, so as to save himself the embarrassment of not knowing such a thing.

As for this year's taxes, the master said that if you don't want to lose your hat, it's best to fight a little.

Well, without saying a word, Ma Yu sent people from village to village to inform them, and at the same time semi-threatened to tell them that they had to make up for it.

Only the gods can make up for it! As a result, not only could not a single grain be harvested, but it also caused the people to boil with resentment.

Faced with such a situation, Ma Yu thought of not appeasement, nor did he write a book for help, but was furious.

"Diao people, they are all a group of Diao people! Forget the emperor's grace, just think about the Diao people who fill their pockets! Ma Yu smashed the porcelain at home and scolded.

"County Zun, Diao Min is not satisfied with the king, if you don't punish it, I'm afraid that this tax will not be collected!" Master Qian Liang mentioned above.

For him, what he is concerned about is only the question of whether to collect money and grain, because if he collects it, he can have many ways to enrich himself. As for whether the county will lose his hat, it has nothing to do with him, and the next county will inevitably invite the master. In this area of Baishui County, his money and grain master is all ancestral, and he has always been a master since his grandfather's generation.

I am used to seeing the officials in power and the officials falling, only these masters are drought and flood to ensure the harvest, and it is a big deal to rest for a few months, and change to a new county master to serve. Like Chongzhen, these so-called county masters are just a group of poor scapegoats.

I don't know if he was angry by the reaction of the people, or if a certain nerve in his brain was really broken, but Ma Yu immediately agreed and ordered.

Not long after, at least 30 people were brought to the side of the government and directly beaten 50 boards in front of a large number of spectators, and two of the older ones were directly beaten to death. Ma Xian Ling spoke, this is an example, TMD A group of guys who don't accept the king and don't know how to repay the emperor's grace, if they can't pay taxes, just wait to be beaten!

Guanwei is a terrible thing, at least in the bones of the people of this era, such a subconscious has always been planted. Seeing that Ma Yu was really moving, the people were really scared. It's just that their family's grain can only pay for this year's spring and autumn payments, where did last year's food come from? This is the emergency food, which has been counted!

God, this doesn't give people a way to live?!

Many people go home, towards the major temples, even if there is no incense candles, a handful of grass incense also represents their own wish. Desperate, they only hope that God will show them a clear way, they can't live anymore!

"Third uncle, what else is there to think about, the government doesn't treat us as human beings, do we still want to worship them like immortals? This is already clear, we have no way to live at all, we will die if we give food, and if we don't give it to us, we will die. I think the only way out for us is to do the opposite! Anyway, there's a glimmer of hope to live! Some villagers shouted.

This villager is completely performing in his true colors, and he is really very indignant at the moment. Even a month ago, the masked man named Shura allowed himself to perform like that at this time and paid himself a good performance fee, but he didn't have such a strong desire to express this idea at this moment.

"Five boys, what crazy are you talking about! Rebellion, rebellion is also something that can be said casually? You know, rebellion is a head-off! The worst thing is that the rebellion will also affect the villagers! The third uncle seemed to have heard something most terrible, and immediately stopped it.

It's just that the words of the five men still give others one more choice in their hearts, and even if this choice is so dangerous, it has begun to sprout and grow in their hearts.

"Third uncle, can we survive if we pay the grain or not?" The five men were not afraid, and went back directly.

Many people began to agree from the bottom of their hearts, if they don't pay food or pay food, they still can't live. Even if the rebellion has the so-called saying that it affects the family, but at that time, the whole village is afraid that there will be few people to live, and they are still afraid of a bird?

"Five boys, if you want to rebel, count me in!" Tie Niu from the same village immediately stood up.

"Count me in!" Dogs from the same village also stood up.

"And!" Rice from the same village also stepped forward.

More and more people began to agree with Wu Yanzi's statement, and the conservative forces such as the third uncle are becoming weaker and weaker.

"Against you! You're going to kill the folks! The third uncle took a cane and scolded.

"It's the government that wants to kill us, if we don't want to die, we can only do the opposite, if you want to be obedient to the people, you should go yourself, don't come to us when you starve to death! Even if we will be strangled by the government, we can be a full ghost before we die! The five men shouted.

"Yes, it's better to be a full ghost!" Many people immediately responded.

"Hey, it's old......" The third uncle was in tears, he really didn't want to see this scene happen, but he couldn't stop it.

"But the five gentlemen, we want to rebel, who will take the lead, you come?" A question immediately came to mind.

"I'm just a villager, what can I do? On the other side of the Xishan Annex, Wang Er, the eldest brother of the tenants in Baishui County, is there, he used to be very good to us, and he is also a person who will pity us. Why don't we go to him and let him lead us against us? The five gentlemen's eyes rolled for a while, and then immediately pushed Wang Er out.

"Wang Er's words, I'm convinced!" Miko immediately agreed.

In fact, many people are in favor of rebellion, but if the leading brother is the fifth man, but not so many people are in favor, because the five men are not too popular in the village, he is a lazy man who prefers to be second-rate, even if he is working, he can be lazy, so he is not popular.

The five gentlemen also knew this, so they pushed Wang Er out, and privately felt very dissatisfied with the disapproval of these fellow villagers. This may be just a small idea, but as long as it exists, it will inevitably follow the trajectory of history, take root, thrive, and then eventually something bad will happen.

At this moment, of course, nothing has happened yet, and after everyone clarified the fact of electing Wang Er as the boss, they sent people, in fact, the three of Mizi, Tie Niu and Wu Yanzi as representatives, to find Wang Er at the Xishan Annex.

At the same time, Wang Er was anxious to shout in the Xishan Annex, looking at the situation very anxious.

In fact, it's not just him, many people are very anxious, because the third young master has broken his appearance.

On the left cheek, there are two deep cross scars, and a shallow scar from the top to the bottom of the right eye, these three scars are bleeding at the moment, which makes people anxious.

"I said, young master, why did you do such a thing!" Wang Er depressedly applied medicine to Zhang Hongbin.

"If you want to do great things, you have to say goodbye to the past. The most important thing is that I am also a famous person in Baishui, and too many people know about it......" Zhang Hongbin smiled, but it was the wound that led to the pain.

"Even if you want to change your appearance, there are still many ways! For example, learn from me to cover my face or something......" Wang Er couldn't cry or laugh.

"You don't care about it, I've made up my mind. By the way, have the seeds of rebellion sown by us sprouted? Zhang Hongbin asked sternly.

"According to the news reported by our people, the seeds of Shimoda Village have sprouted!" Wang Er also said very strictly.

"Well, pay attention to the movement in Shimoda Village!" Zhang Hongbin waved his hand and motioned for Wang Er to go out.

Wang Er saw that the medicine had been applied, so he left the room.

"Shopping guide, is there really a high-tech drug that can remove scars?" In the supermarket, Zhang Hongbin's consciousness anxiously asked the shopping guide.

"It's the sixth layer, there's such a drug, and it only takes one course of treatment to get rid of the scars! Rest assured, our supermarkets do sell all the goods, but they are not fakes, we also want to make money for a long time, so naturally we will not smash our own signboards. The shopping guide replied kindly.

"That's good." Zhang Hongbin breathed a sigh of relief, but the wound hurt again, making him feel that he was still too excited.
