After Qin Daochuan avoided the northern land, the two forces of the right and left ministers in the capital fought over who to send to Dongjun to quell the chaos.

The original commander of the Dongjun County and the Xiang Army, who were all right-hand ministers, had already been escorted back to the capital by the emperor, and the outcome can be imagined.

The leader of the forbidden army, Fan Rukuai, was born in the emperor's personal guard, but his wife was the daughter of Liu Huaixin, the protégé of the left minister, and his eldest daughter married the second son of Song Jiazhi, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy in the right minister's camp.

After the New Year's Festival, after the Shangyuan Festival, the capital is still quarrelling, and the civil unrest in Dongjun has slowly changed.

The emperor was really anxious, and in anger, the Nine Emperors took the initiative to ask Ying to quell the chaos.

The right minister came out in time and recommended Shi He Junmao, the commander of the Dongjun Xiang Army, to assist the Nine Emperors in quelling the chaos and make meritorious contributions to the crime. The reason is that he had strongly recommended that Taizhou be closed down, all the victims were resettled on the spot, and the strength of Dongjun was used to help Taizhou, but at that time, the Dongjun County Guard and Xiangdu Commander Shi Yin did not wait to see the Taizhou City Guard, and he did not save him when he saw death, which caused today's disaster.

The emperor agreed, issued a decree to summon the world, and ordered the Nine Emperors to temporarily take over the post of the county guard of Dongjun, but he sent Fan Rukuai, the leader of the forbidden army, to temporarily take the post of commander of the army of Dongjun, and went to Dongjun for disaster relief and rebellion from now on.

After the Nine Emperors and Fan Rukui received the decree, they immediately went to Dongjun.

The Seven Princes sat on the third floor of the Jiafang Hall in the capital, looked at the distant figure of the group, and asked the person opposite: "Jiming, what do you think their trip will be?" ”

The person on the other side smiled and said, "Eventually, I will return home." ”

The Seventh Prince said, "Oh? How so? ”

He Jiming said: "There is food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart." Have you ever heard that the imperial court gave this thing? After speaking, his hand was spread out, and his palm was broken with silver.

The Seventh Prince said: "Now that the treasury is empty, my father is also powerless. However, there is always a surplus in Dongjun, and it should not be too difficult to plan well. ”

He Jiming said: "The Seven Princes are always single-minded, but I am not very optimistic. Balance? After speaking, he shook his head, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

The Seventh Prince said: "There is always a few percent left, is it possible that you don't even want face?" ”

He Jiming said: "Someone will always take the blame when something happens, and they will not lose face." ”

The Seventh Prince said: "Back the pot? You mean bring those two back? I'm afraid they can't afford it. ”

He Jiming said: "I have guessed their plan to hide from the sky and the sea, and the Seventh Prince is willing to listen." ”

The Seventh Prince said: "What kind of dumb riddle to play, say it quickly!" ”

He Jiming said: "This plan is to demolish the east wall and make up the west wall." ”

The Seventh Prince said: "Treating the symptoms is not the root cause, and the deficit on the east wall must always be filled." ”

He Jiming said: "You can't tear down your own east wall, you can demolish someone else's!" ”

The Seventh Prince said: "How can it be so easy, whose wall will willingly let them tear it down? ”

He Jiming said: "Dare to ask the Seventh Prince, now, in the whole world, who has the thickest wall?" ”

The Seventh Prince said: "Of course it is a family, but they will never dare to touch it. ”

He Jiming said: "Today's families are few solid and many empty shells. ”

The Seventh Prince said, "Then who else?" ”

He Jiming didn't speak, knocked on the table, and knocked on the wall.

The Seventh Prince said, "Merchant? ”

He Jiming nodded.

The Seventh Prince took a deep breath, thought for a while, and said, "How did I forget this stubble." However, the merchant has already paid the tax, and the tax is now not light. Even if they cleverly and purposefully pushed their father to raise taxes, it would go into the treasury, how could it go into their money bags. ”

He Jiming said: "So it won't be a tax increase, it can only be a ———— donation." ”

The Seventh Prince said, "Fundraising? That's a good way to do it! ”

He Jiming said: "It's a pity that once they do this, it won't be long before there will be more than just the Dongjun Rebellion." ”

When the Seven Princes heard this, they no longer spoke, but raised tea to salute each other.

Let's say that after the Nine Emperors and Fan Rukui rushed to Dongjun, they saw that they were starving all over the land, and the people were struggling to make a living. The streets were desolate, and people were lying down.

The garrisons of the neighboring counties had blocked all the roads connecting to the eastern counties, and when the mobs of the eastern counties saw this, they all pulled up the hills one after another, and carved out an area to occupy the mountains as kings. The most pitiful are the old and weak women, nine out of ten of them have died of cold and starvation.

When the Nine Emperors arrived in Jeju City, they made an announcement and sent it to various places:

Article 1: All persons shall return to their respective families within three days, and those who have done so in the past will not be prosecuted.

Second, those who still resist stubbornly after three days will be punished as anti-thieves and punished by the nine clans.

Article 3: After those who return to their hometowns register with the local township government, they can receive one rice per day for adults, and half for children.

Some of them pulled up the hill to unite to defend their belongings, but when they heard the notice, they immediately dispersed.

Ordinary victims, who did not rely on each other, hurried back to their hometowns as soon as they heard the notice.

The rest of the real mob were all rabble who took advantage of the chaos to rob, and when they heard that the court was coming, they all scattered and fled.

Within ten days, the good news came, and Dongjun was safe.

On the same day, local governments began to issue fundraising notices:

When the country is in trouble, the husband has the responsibility, and there is money to contribute, and there is a strong contribution. To save the victims of the disaster in Dong County, it is the responsibility of the whole country, agriculture, industry and commerce.

On the surface, it was a donation, but secretly, the local government began to set a quota to the chambers of commerce, and the chambers of commerce had to set quotas to the merchants in the industry, and the merchants complained for a while.

Ruoshu looked at the letters and reports of the shopkeepers everywhere and sneered.

asked Lu Jiuye, who has been following Lu Erye for more than ten years and is currently in charge of managing the accounts, "How much do we have to pay?" ”

Lu Jiuye replied: "More than 30,000 taels." ”

Ruoshu sighed, and then asked, "How much is the approximate loss?" ”

Lu Jiuye replied: "Due to the rebellion in Dongjun, compared with the year before last, there are about five percent less in various places, and Dongjun has not been counted, and it has not been reported for the time being." ”

Ruoshu said: "Thirty thousand, it's acceptable." ”

At this time, Lu Sanye sent an urgent item over, and Ruoshu handed it to Lu Sanye after reading it.

After reading it, Lu Sanye asked, "Young owner, do you want to participate?" ”

Ruoshu shook his head and said, "Don't participate." If you have less money, you can make more money, and you can't get through this troubled water. ”

After hearing this, Lu Sanye said, "Then Lu San will go and reply to the letter." ”

Ruoshu nodded.

Who knows if it didn't dodge it in the end.

Although they are not involved in large-scale trading, they are engaged in activities that are closely related to people's livelihood, such as street food stalls, shoe repairers, cigarettes, paper and candle sellers, pig slaughterers, sheep slaughterers, and so on.

As word spread, neighboring towns began to follow suit, and the situation on the streets became more and more ugly.

The government felt that something was wrong, so it changed its method again, and set a fixed amount according to the proportion of taxes paid each year, and exempted those who paid less than the tax.

Compared with the two, Ruoshu's 30,000 taels here became 60,000 taels.

These related merchants refused again, and they also joined forces to strike the market.

For a time, the whole country was in a miasma, and the people's grievances were boiling.
