Ma Teng scolded the two of them for a while, the two of them saw that Ma Teng was angry today and didn't dare to say anything, and if they collided with him, I was afraid that they would have to suffer more ruthlessly, Ma Teng said to Chen Xin: "Lord Chen, don't play tricks with me, I don't force you, this thing is impossible to do it in one step, but it is impossible to hold back, I limit you to report to me the roster of local big households within three days, and list their property in detail, if you don't complete this matter within three days, I will dismiss you on the spot!" ”

Chen Xin panicked when he heard this, and when he saw Ma Teng's cruel words, he trembled and said: "I'm afraid it's a bit rushed to complete it in three days, and the time is not enough!" ”

"Don't give me this, don't tell me the conditions, don't blame me for not being polite if it can't be completed in three days, Si Lixiao Wen Ping, Henan Yin Liang Xi and Tai Wei Han Hao are responsible for supervising and promoting the development of this matter, if the matter is not good, you will not be able to escape the blame!" After Ma Teng finished speaking, he walked out of the Luoyang Lingfu under Ma Teng's escort

Ma Teng put down the cruel words this time, and as a leader, he still arranged things to deploy, this time he arranged all his subordinates into it to see their execution, he didn't believe that so many people couldn't gnaw on a small county order, and Wen Ping and Liang Xi as two superiors supervised Chen Xin at the same time, one is a member of the tax collection team, a general who holds the military power of Luoyang, and the other is a feudal official in charge of Luoyang's administrative affairs, and the two of them parachuted into the Luoyang Decree Mansion at the same time, Chen Xin: If you want to say that there is no pressure, it is impossible.

Wen Ping was retained, as the highest leadership member, everyone else has to look forward to him, Wen Ping naturally can't slack off, as Guan Yu's favorite general. He spared no effort in the matter of reform, he immediately found Chen Xin and asked him: "Let's act separately, register and confirm the property of the big households in Luoyang one by one, you and I are all the way, Lord Liang and Han Hao together, let's act in two groups." You equip them with manpower, if it's not enough, I'll directly pick up manpower from Luoyang, what do you think? ”

"This、、、 this, General Wen doesn't know that these big families are all royal relatives and nobles with backgrounds! Let's rush to check other people's property, isn't this the following crime? Chen Xin is still embarrassed.

Wen Ping said angrily: "Chen Xin, what do you mean? Didn't you say that I was in charge of this! It's my company's lieutenant Wen hired them to move me, and they have a dime to do with you? You can cooperate with me, what are you afraid of if something happens? ”

Chen Xin saw that Wen Ping was angry and actually had an momentum, this kind of aura pressed him so much that he didn't dare to say more, it seemed that this time he couldn't get away anyway, Chen Xin was very helpless. Now he is very clear in his heart, it seems that this time in the secret competition, these royal nobles failed, that is to say, Ma Teng, who has this strong background, must have gone through a lot of turmoil, but he can still come to Luoyang Lingfu again, which means that those royal relatives and nobles have not been able to move him, Chen Xin can't help but sigh that Ma Teng and Guan Yu are powerful, and such a big force behind them can't help them. It seems that he can't prevaricate about taxation, not to mention his small county order. In front of Guan Yu and Ma Teng, it was just a mantis arm as a car.

Although he was extremely reluctant, Chen Xin still stubbornly accompanied Wen Ping to act, Wen Ping came very strongly this time, and he was very domineering in promoting the work, so that Chen Xin did not dare to blow up in front of him, just like a policeman with a prisoner constantly identifying the scene. Chen Xin took the inventory of Wenpin's family by household, and the first big households to take inventory were very uncooperative with Wenpin and Chen Xin's arrival, either pushing back or hindering it, or concealing and falsely reporting it, but the shrewd Wenpin soon noticed it, and he calculated while listening and inspecting. He investigated the land and income of these large households, and soon determined the scope of their property, and the output value determined by the clerk would be somewhat different from the actual income of these large households, but not too large, and the clerk counted according to the value determined by himself

Seeing this, the big families couldn't help but be anxious, why? Because the value of the statistics of the clerk is sometimes higher than their actual property, if the tax is reported according to this value, then of course it is themselves who suffer, so every time at this time, these big households jump out to announce their actual property, so that the clerk has to change the statistical value, subject to the actual one, the clerk visits door to door, and later these big households see the arrival of the clerk and simply close the door and do not let them in. Seeing this, Wen Ping was furious and ordered the sergeants to simply knock the door open one by one, these sergeants were directly transferred from Luoyang by Wen Ping, there were thousands of people, and the door of the big families was about to be knocked open, and the big families saw that the door was actually knocked open, which was repaid, this is something that has never been done, isn't this breaking ground on Tai Sui's head, where are you willing to go around?

Since the clerk supervised Chen Xin to take stock of the property of the big households, the first day or two, the big households were not prepared for their arrival, and they were caught off guard, and later some of the big households, that is, the background was relatively hard, they simply closed the door and refused to enter the big households, and the clerks were naturally not to be outdone, and ordered the sergeants to directly hit the door and open the doors of the big households, and some of the big households were not to be outdone, and armed the family members and waited until Wen Ping and others rushed in, and the families of the big families surrounded them at once, However, in the face of nearly 1,000 people in Wenpin's fully armed elite armor, those families are just a rabble, they originally wanted to arm against the arrival of Wenpin, but they saw that Wenpin was powerful and majestic, if they moved, it was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, so these families did not dare to do anything in the face of the powerful court officials and soldiers, and those who commanded behind them saw that Wenpin was powerful, and everyone did not dare to move, so they had to change their attitude and greet Wenpin and others to the house with a smile, so Wenpin promoted the work with such a strong attitude.

Compared with the strength of Wenpin, Henan Yin Liangxi and Han Hao are much behind, this Henan Yin Liangxi was originally a civil official, no better than Wenpin general, his methods are not so tough, and Han Hao, as a lieutenant, although he is a military attaché, but belongs to the kind of middle and lower-class military attachés and has just taken office, so it is impossible to be so vigorous and resolute in carrying out work, after all, the identity and status of the two are limited, and Chen Xin equipped them with a county lieutenant in the government as a guide, although Liang Xi does not have the toughness and domineering of Wenpin. But he didn't dare to slack off on his work, he still took active action, Liang Xi and Han Hao first issued a confirmation document together, informing the meaning to all major households, and let them take the initiative to report it, and the time was within one day. If it is not reported in time, then it will be enforced, this is the so-called salute before the soldier, Liang Xi also profoundly clarified the interests of taxation in the text, and clearly pointed out that this matter cannot be delayed, the attitude of the imperial court is very resolute, no matter who has a big background, they must pay on time and according to quality, there will be no fish that slip through the net, and there will be no vacuum deposit!

The big families saw that they had posted a letter, and it was not in Luoyang Lingfu but in Henan Yinfu, his superior. The big families can't help but endanger themselves, the imperial court exerts its strength again, it seems that the pushers behind them before are not good to make the emperor's relatives, this tax collection work is still going on and intensifying, and the intensity of promotion is still increasing, even the Luoyang Lingfu has been hollowed out, Henan Yin Mansion actually came forward directly, it seems that Chen Xin has been hollowed out. Their pillars in their own land also fell, and there was no backing above, and there were no pillars below. They can't be fooled this time anyway, if they postpone it, there will be no good fruit to eat, and this tax will not be paid to the imperial court! Some large households think that this tax will have to be paid sooner or later, and it is better to declare it as soon as possible, and it will not be able to be vacated anyway, so there are large households who have registered with Liang Xi one after another

However, there are still some big players who are slow to act. Unwilling to come to declare, Liang Xi sent Han Hao and the county lieutenant to persuade the applicant, that is, to let the county lieutenant come out to persuade the big households, accompanied by Han Hao, and after some persuasion by the two, the big households began to take action and came to declare. However, there are still some people who have no action and are still waiting, Han Hao and the county lieutenant went to persuade them to be turned away, the two had to report to Liang Xi, Liang Xi saw that he had encountered a nail household, it seems that it is not easy to come, Liang Xi immediately found Wen Ping to ask Wen Ping to come forward to enforce it, Wen Ping immediately took Han Hao, the county lieutenant and others with a group of heavily armed armor soldiers to clean up those who refused to open the door one by one.

Wenpin and Liang Xi acted actively, both soft and hard to vigorously promote the work, but as of the date specified by Ma Teng, there are still nearly a quarter of the large households have not declared, and at this time the Wenpin is still continuing to enforce, but later those big households simply united, armed a team of thousands of people to openly confront Wenpin, Wenpin's 1,000 armed forces were blocked by almost several times the force, and the enforcement also encountered resistance, at this time Ma Teng and Ma Chao led an army of nearly 1,000 people to Luoyang Lingfu, When Ma Teng learned that Wen Ping was blocked, he was furious and said: "These people dare to openly confront the imperial court!" Ma Teng immediately ordered Henan Yin Mansion and Luoyang Ling Mansion to transfer nearly 1,000 troops at the same time, plus a total of 2,000 troops brought by himself, and immediately went to help in the battle.

At this time, Wen Ping's army of 1,000 people and the large families armed nearly 6,000 people confronted each other there, Wen Ping could not advance or retreat, this 6,000 family team held weapons in front of Wen Ping, they did not attack, they blocked there, and their head did not show up behind their backs, Wen Ping was very difficult to take a step before, if he attacked, the 6,000 people were armed with six times his strength, although his soldiers were well-trained, but in the face of so many enemies at once, they would definitely not take advantage, But if he retreats like this, then where is his face? What is the face of the imperial court? After all, he came to collect taxes on behalf of the imperial court, and when Wen Ping was in a dilemma, Ma Teng arrived in time

Ma Teng's 2,000-strong army arrived in time, which greatly changed the situation of the confrontation between the two sides, the imperial army of 3,000 people was in place, although it was only half of the family, but the strength of these 3,000 people was enough to compete with the armed forces of the 6,000 people, the power ratio has changed significantly, Ma Teng and everyone came out, the family members saw that the court came to so many people at once, and the previous arrogance was all gone, standing there shuddering, although the number of the officers and soldiers was less, but the powerful aura still made these families panic, Ma Teng saw that the family members still refused to retreat there, and couldn't help but be furious: "The imperial court collects taxes, Master Ma came to supervise the collection of taxes, and he dared to block the killing, and you should disperse within three sounds, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" ”

After Ma Teng finished speaking, the camp of the family began to surge, the family members were in a mess, some retreated, some hesitated, and some were indifferent, the defense line of the entire camp collapsed at once, and the landlords behind saw that the family camp was loosened, and they knew that this confrontation would continue. Ma Teng is really powerful, the family camp will be defeated with one blow, and the severity of the matter will be self-evident, Ma Teng collects taxes on behalf of the imperial court, and he is the minister in charge of justice and prison work, if he really confronts him this time. Ma Teng may be suppressed at any time, and as the masters of all the families, these big families are either scattering some money, that is, they have to risk being arrested, that is, violently resisting the law, and they will be punished by the criminal law, how can these big families not understand the power of this?

The big families still know this Ma Teng, since he first found Chen Xin, Ma Teng has gradually entered their sight, after several dealings. In the competition behind the scenes, Ma Teng still won, the court resisted the pressure and still pushed the reform to advocate taxation, the contest behind them let them know that Ma Teng and even Guan Yu are powerful, they can't afford to be guilty of these people, they also gradually understand this Ma Teng, as a warlord Dali Temple Shaoqing, Ma Teng took on a heavy responsibility this time and got Guan Yu's death order. was granted the power of punishment by Guan Yu, if it was just a Wenpin and Liang Xi. These big families may continue to fight, although Wen Ping is a lieutenant and holds military power, although Liang Xi is in charge of the locality, but these big families will still not give them face, although Wen Ping is now implemented with some strength, but to have a hot war with these landlord forces, then he has to think about it, and before making this decision, he is bound to think about it and even have to report to the above. He himself would not have made this decision lightly in any case.

But Ma Teng is different, as a soldier and once served as a military leader, he is full of enthusiasm and courage, and was awarded an important task by Guan Yu as the main person in charge of tax collection, which is also Guan Yu's respect and trust in him, but also a recognition of Ma Teng's ability. Ma Teng after the previous competition with the royal nobles in Luoyang, and finally under the coordination of Guan Yu, all those royal nobles were leveled, and now he returned to Luoyang Lingfu, he can let go of the big work, not afraid of offending anyone, not afraid of resistance, these big families for Ma Teng's appearance is extraordinary, is Wen Ping and Liang Xi can not be compared, Ma Teng is also unusually tough, those big families see Ma Teng is tough and knows the consequences if he bears it hard, so he suddenly walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage

The big families jumped out at this time, they wanted to negotiate with Ma Teng, and some of them took the lead in front of the family and said with a smile: "Oh, Lord Ma! First dissipate the gas, it's all a misunderstanding! You don't need to be so wielded with knives and guns, so why bother? Isn't it just to declare your assets? We are willing to declare! ”

"It's good to know what's fun! You must know the consequences of this violent resistance to the law, I can suppress it at any time, and I will also let you surrender to the law, but today I will not care about you if you take the initiative to surrender! Tell all your families to be disbanded, and then register and declare to us one by one! Ma Teng ordered the big ones.

These big families said with smiling faces: "Yes! Be! Be! Adults don't remember villains, we'll register right away! "These big families are talking while disbanding those families, in fact, why don't those families hope to be disbanded, they know that the consequences of confronting these officials and soldiers are nine deaths! It is very appropriate for the master to do this, they immediately retreated and dispersed, like a plate of loose sand fleeing everywhere, and some even did a head rat run, it was simply a wolf bèi to the extreme, seeing this scene, those big families felt that this decision was correct, this has not yet been warned, once the battle is not a blow, it will not be crushed with one blow?

Ma Teng's arrival made these big households suddenly honest, they didn't dare to blow up the thorns anymore, they registered and declared to Ma Teng, and they took the initiative to declare, so Ma Teng completed the first step of taxation, completed the declaration and registration of the large households in Luoyang, and then the tax collection was carried out according to the declared property, that is, it entered the substantive stage, Ma Teng first reported the results of the declaration to Guan Yu, Guan Yu immediately instructed to collect and pay in accordance with the tax standards determined in the implementation plan, and Ma Teng received the order and immediately prepared to go

But said that Liu Bei, Zhu Jun and others embarked on the journey of research, their first stop was Liangzhou, that is, the farthest place, and then from Liangzhou to Luoyang back, but on the way to Liangzhou, Liu Bei had sent the text everywhere to the relevant princes, and successively sent a fast horse to Yuan Shao in Hebei, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu in Huainan, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and Gongsun Zan in Beiping, but said that Yuan Shao couldn't help but be angry when he received the text of the levy of money and grain: "Guan Yu Zhuzi is really too deceitful, and he actually asked my lion for a million taels of silver?" It's really unbelievable! (To be continued......)
