Chapter 143: Changes in Taxes

Wu Bucheng never dreamed that he would see Zhao Mengyao here.

Originally, after saying goodbye to Pengcheng, Wu Bucheng came to Jinling incognito as a swordsman in the rivers and lakes, in order to see Zhao Mengyao and ask some things.

What happened that day was too weird, and it was natural for Wu Bucheng to do this, if Zhao Mengyao stayed, he wanted to meet again in Jinling, but he didn't want to, the current Zhao Mengyao, she, she ......

Not only pretended to be a man, but also two more mustaches!

Wu Bucheng didn't want to look at her, but he couldn't help it, but when he saw it, that's it, this ......

"Yo! Isn't this Brother Wu? ”

"Huh?"

What I didn't expect was that Zhao Mengyao, a woman, took the initiative to greet Wu Bucheng and call him Brother Wu?

To be honest, Wu Bucheng was ready to be exposed, so he ......

It's not good, my sword was just persuaded by someone else, and I put it elsewhere.

That's right, at such a banquet, even if you are a knight, it's too wrong to carry a sword all the time, right?

What to do? Do you want to put it together?

Anyway......

Behind Zhao Mengyao is just a poor old Taoist and a slaughtering monk, as well as the Qingluan Fairy, none of them are his opponents, in this case, it should not be difficult to kill.

Wu Bucheng had already made a plan, and for a while, his clothes moved slightly, and a murderous aura poured out, but he heard Zhao Mengyao laugh.

"Brother Wu's swordsmanship is really powerful, there is no other in the sword, I admire it tightly, I just hate that I don't have a chance to learn, I don't know if Brother Wu has time?"

This...... None of the sword?!

How did she know, this nickname Wu Bucheng dared to say, it hadn't appeared for more than a day now, but Zhao Mengyao, a woman, knew it.

She...... Wu Bucheng actually hates this the most, and always thinks that she is a little scary.

But for now, I have to forget it first.

"This is easy to do, this is the case, I want to learn from Brother Zhao." Wu Cheng gave up.

"Good! Sure enough, he is a man of temperament. Zhao Qinghe praised it, and then wanted to say more, but at this time, someone interrupted.

"What sword is unique? What is the Musou Black Man? Who are these people? ”

This person is here again, but this person is also a little weird, it turns out that he is missing a hand, but this is the case, and it can be seen from between this person's eyebrows that he is a high-flying and domineering person.

"And who are you?" Tang Xin had a strange feeling in his heart here, and when he saw such a guy, he was even more angry, so his tone was even more polite.

"Oh, sir, who am I? Hahaha......" The guy who was missing a hand laughed even more arrogantly, "Tell him, who I am, master." ”

There are a few more people behind this person, and from the perspective of momentum, there are quite some masters, and some of them want to come out to speak for their master, but some people snatch it out.

"Mr. Pan, who doesn't know you, but don't be like this, come on, come on, give your brother a face......"

This person speaks like this, but it is that Tao Sheng, but to say, he is a person in the officialdom, and his position is not low, he is in charge of the justice of Jinling Prefecture, how can he see this Pan Gongzi, as if his head is lowered by three points?

Fortunately, that Pan Gongzi also knew the restraint, so he said: "Oh, this son gave Brother Tao face, and ah, I heard that today's event, there are big people in the capital coming, and this son is trying to get close." ”

"That's right, come, brother, introduce me......" Tao Sheng began to wander.

To say, his body is really good, a big table, and there is no hindrance, and he soon arrived at Tang Sheng's side, and said: "This is the cabinet scholar, Tang Sheng Tang Xianglong, this time I came to Jinling as a messenger to check it out...... This Pan Gongzi is Pan Shao'an of the Cao Gang Pan family. ”

Tang Sheng Tang Xianglong?

A bachelor's degree?

Wu Bucheng didn't know who this Tang Sheng was until now......

In other words, as the prince of Liang Wang, he doesn't know anything, it's just that this Tang Xianglong's real name is Tang Sheng, and the name is easy to cause some misunderstandings.

It turned out to be him, such a big official, and what kind of Qincha, so what did he do when he came to Jinling this time?

I heard that this person advocated......

"Ahh I know, isn't this the guy who came to collect taxes? Hahaha......"

This Pan Shao'an Pan Gongzi came directly to such a sentence, which really embarrassed everyone, even Tao Sheng, the Fu Yin, was also at a loss.

Today's banquet, in fact, everyone can see it here, it should be to catch the wind for this Tang Xianglong, but right now, this Pan Gongzi is so big and small, this is to give Lord Qincha and the cabinet scholar a dismount, right?

In fact, many people have no doubt in their hearts, just to do this.

However, after hearing this, Tang Xianglong smiled, "That's right, this official came to Jinling to urge taxes!" ”

No one expected that Tang Xianglong would respond like this.

The scene was quite embarrassing, and there were even a few people who were talking and laughing, but now they all stopped, and even more, the Jinling prefect Fang Yue was originally going to come over to chat for a few words, but now they are a little hesitant.

This prefect is a member of the Fang family in Tongling, and he has a very good background, although there was a storm in Dongnuan Pavilion before, and the Fang family was severely suppressed, but the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and the saint in the capital was not a faint king, how could it be possible to let the Chaozhong family dominate?

Therefore, the Fang Governor's Mansion is favored by many people, and I am afraid that it will not be long before he enters Beijing.

So, right now......

But I heard the leader of the Jiangnan Dao Martial Arts Alliance come out at this time and laughed: "This is interesting, do you still need to urge the tax?" Isn't it true that many of them don't pay taxes? ”

This is simply pretending to be confused!

That is, under the rule of Daqi, then who dares not to pay taxes?

But right now, it is a very difficult period, Tang Xianglong's leading paving into the mu, to put it simply, this is a matter of tax law, but if it is big, then this is a major event to change the law, and this is to open the knife to the big households, who are the big households?

One by one, if someone has food and silver, how can they easily hand over their money?

As soon as the tax law came out, Daqi naturally said that all the people in the world said that it was good, and no one said a word, isn't that disobeying the holy decree?

However, there are not many that really solve the tax.

The apportionment into the mu has been implemented for a season, but the tax money released from all over the country is not much at all, what is this called?

If you think about it, you know that some people say that they are good, but they don't do practical things, and the most difficult one to deal with is in Jinling.

Jinling is an ancient capital, guarding the south of the Yangtze River, the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, the land of corn, plus silk porcelain, all kinds of business, and it is the place where the most taxes are paid in Daqi.

However, this is also the most difficult place to implement the new tax law.

The most interesting thing is that there are all kinds of excuses, such as, this tax has to be collected, and someone has to find someone to collect it, right?

Although the tax collectors are small, they have a lot of real power, but right now, they have one, and they are not familiar with the new tax law, so there is such a reason, then there is something to say.

When will you be able to get acquainted with it?

Who knows.

And that's just one of the difficulties.

Tang Xianglong knew that this matter was extremely difficult early on, and now, he came to Jiangnan in person, and even brought his own daughter, without him, with this clear will, the Tang family will be desperate, and the new tax law will be implemented!

But now, the words of this Jiangnan Dao Martial Arts Alliance Leader, that ......

"Who dares not to pay taxes!"

"I said this brother, you have to have a basis for what you say, and everyone here is a big tax payer."

"Exactly! You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! ”

The wealthy businessmen present hurriedly plucked themselves clean, and also accused this martial arts alliance leader of talking nonsense.

But the peerless black man Zhao Qinghe smiled and said: "Then this Pan Gongzi came out and said that this scholar was urging taxes, and he admitted it, what do you mean?" Could it be that they are all drinking too much and talking nonsense? ”

This...... Not good!

Everyone understands that some things can't be explained clearly, if they are all said clearly, then it is not easy to do, the martial arts alliance leader in front of him is bad enough, he must know what the inside story is, but he pretends to be stupid, and he wants to find out the inside story of the change in the tax law.

That's not good!

It's okay for everyone to do something in the dark, and if you really pick it out, it's not tax resistance? Against the imperial court?

Hurry up......

"Pan Gongzi's words are just a joke!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Come, Pan Gongzi sits here, let's have a few drinks. ”

"Tang Gong, don't be like a child, Tang Gong is ...... righteous"

One by one, the sycophants who should be patted on the back, the ones who should be with the mud and the mud, are very busy.

Among them, Wu Bucheng is the most happy, it seems that if they do these things, no one will pay attention to their own affairs, which is very good......

So, everyone sat down separately, Tang Xianglong naturally sat at the top, it was obvious, everyone came to offer him, in addition, Tang Xin and Wu Er also sat next to each other.

Speaking of these etiquettes, Wu Bucheng also knew about them, and he only felt a little troublesome, but he didn't expect that this trouble was not really in the past......

"Come, eat, hehe......"

"I've heard that today's chef is very good."

"This steamed mandarin fish, don't underestimate it, look, it looks like there are fish scales on it, right? This is when steaming, there is no scale, and it is removed with a very high technique after steaming, all because the scales of this mandarin fish are actually the most fat, which is completely different from ordinary fish, everyone tastes it. ”

It's all good wine and good food, but after a few bites, Tang Xianglong over there said with a smile: "When the official came to Jinling, he actually came to urge taxes." ”

As soon as these words come out, who is still in the mood to eat and drink?

Just listened to the snap, then Pan Shaoan and Pan Gongzi directly dropped the cup in his hand!

"! Eating makes people uneasy! What the hell! ”
