Chapter Twenty-Four: The Order of the King of Chu

The battle that took place in the Yu Clan's Castle, with the power of the Seven Colored Flowers, soon spread back to the Heavenly Trench Canyon, causing a sensation, and many killers looked at each other and became interested in the Yu Clan.

This Yu family, what hole cards are hidden?

Can make the Seven Colored Flower Killer lose twice?

"The Yu clan can defeat the green spider, either someone helps, or there is a strong person in the shadow, it seems that the main sect of this sect has taken a trip in person!

In the main hall, the hoarse voice of the green envoy sounded, low and weird, with terrifying killing intent, which made people feel like they were in a ghost domain after hearing it, and they were hairy.

"Returning to Lord Qing, after the green spider missed, the other three clans of Ba County once asked the Yu clan for trouble, but they didn't succeed, and they didn't even enter the Yu clan's city gate. ”

Below, there are many figures standing, but there are fewer than last time, but the power is still strong, and there are enough thirteen martial artists above the late congenital stage.

Among them, the man standing on the far right stood up, wearing a skull mask and a vicious breath, and reported respectfully that he was the "Green Snake", responsible for the intelligence of the Chu State.

"Oh, what's the reason?"

The young envoy who sat at the top of the seat asked with interest, but the tone of his voice was still indifferent, and his aura surged all over his body, and the blood Gu roared sharply, surrounding the left and right, bubbling with crimson blood light.

"Lord Hui, according to the branch report, the three major clans of Ba County secretly formed an alliance and conspired with the Liang Tian of the Yu clan, among which the Cheng clan was the leading one in an attempt to obtain Qingtian. ”

The green snake said in a deep voice, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"I don't know what is alive or dead, and I dare to pay attention to Qingtian, the lord is already impatient, and ordered us to prepare sufficient grain and grass, no matter what method is used, within a month, we must get all the Liangtian in Ba County. ”

The green envoy's face turned cold, and in an instant, the killing machine in the hall was great, the magic light rushed into the sky, and the terrifying power covered the entire canyon, and all the killers involuntarily knelt down.

The power of the sage, the surrender of all beings.

"Yes!"

............

In the center of Ba County, there is an extremely large city, the city is dozens of zhang high, towering into the clouds, and the mottled sword light, sword shadow and arrow holes are deep and deep in the city wall, exuding a thick ancient atmosphere of vicissitudes.

This is Tianfu City, the county capital of Ba County!

Standing outside the city, I saw countless beams and fields sprouting, with no end in sight, stretching for hundreds of miles.

This is Yu's Qingtian.

It is famous not only for its fertile soil and ability to cultivate spiritual grass, but also for its unique geographical location around the county capital.

The sunlight shines between the green tiles and red walls of the city, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the high floating shop signs, the sparkling carriages and horses, and the endless flow of people, all reflect the prosperity of the city.

Horse-drawn carriages, carrying full grain, were transported to all parts of Chu along the official roads that extended in all directions.

"King Chu order, the northern Qin County was attacked by the Qin State, the grain and grass are tight, this year's Ba County added 30 million grain taxes, which needs to be raised within a month and transported to Qin County, Qin this!"

In the majestic city lord's mansion, the envoy of the king of Chu from the capital Danyang, holding the king's decree in his hand, read it out loud, his voice was sharp and piercing, his white hair was neatly combed behind his head, and his face was ruddy, revealing a cool and thin atmosphere.

The county shou Chun Shenjun led the officials, knelt on the ground respectfully, and after hearing the will, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Within a month, 30 million grains were raised.

This......

How is this possible?

"Chun Shenjun, still don't accept the order to thank you? Do you want to disobey the king's order?"

The envoy had a vicious mouth, and with three or two sentences, he charged Chun Shenjun with killing his head, and once it was established, the five horses were divided, and his family was sentenced to exile on the border as slaves.

"Wechen obeys!"

Chun Shenjun's heart trembled, he hurriedly kowtowed, and then respectfully accepted the king's decree, then slowly stood up, took out a piece of gold from his cuff, put it in the messenger's hand, and said with a smile on his face: "My father-in-law is a popular person around the king, please return to the palace and say a few good words for me." ”

"Well said!"

Weighing the weight of the gold, the messenger showed a bright smile, like a blooming chrysanthemum, and solemnly hugged his fists and said: "The matter is big, you have to complete the task and relieve the king's worries, that is a great merit, and the miscellaneous family still has something to do, farewell!"

Chun Shenjun hurriedly led the way and sent the envoy out of the City Lord's Mansion, and after the envoy walked away, his smile froze and became sad.

"My lord, this task is impossible to complete!"

An official stepped forward, his voice was dull, his brows were almost furrowed, Ba County is a heavy grain production area, the imperial court formulates heavy taxes every year, almost exhausting the government's inventory, this time it will collect 30 million yuan of tax grain, even if it smashes the pot and sells iron, the government can't take it out.

Unless, continue to collect taxes from the people, but the consequences of doing so ......

It can only be the people who suffer.

"My lord, it is currently spring ploughing, and there is still grain in the people's homes, and now the official messenger is sent to collect taxes, which should be able to raise all of them. ”

Jun Cheng Lin Ping said with his fists clenched, his face was soft, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and his deep eyes were flashing with the essence of a yin owl.

These words silenced all the officials, and sent officials to collect taxes, which was coercion to put it bluntly.

"No, the people don't have much grain in stock, some of them are still growing grain, and now they are sending officials to collect taxes and take away the grain, who will we go to collect the autumn tax in a few months? Besides, how can tens of millions of people in Ba County survive without food?"

Chun Shenjun shook his head, his face was firm, he was upright and upright all his life.

In the end, he still can't bear the suffering of the people.

After Lin Ping heard this, his eyes were full of disdain, his pupils flickered, and he pretended to be anxious and said: "But my lord, if we can't complete the task, the king of Chu will blame him, and no one will end well." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the officials became even more ugly and more anxious.

"Humph!"

Chun Shenjun's face sank, how could he not understand the character of everyone, and regarded the black gauze hat on his head as more important than anything, and no one would pay attention to the life and death of the people.

But he is different, although he is also a nobleman, but when he was studying in his youth, his family was in the middle of the road, and after a few years of ordinary life, he understood the difficulties of the life of the people at the bottom.

It is conceivable that once the tax is levied again, it is not impossible for most of the people in Ba County to be trapped by their livelihoods, sell their land, become aristocratic tenant farmers, or even sell their wives and daughters.

But......

Although he couldn't bear it, the problem had to be solved.

Just as Lin Ping said, if he couldn't raise 30 million grains within the specified time, he would not fail the performance assessment and would not end well.

What to do?

Chun Shenjun's face was full of thought, his head drooped slightly, his black hair fell, his eyes flashed crazy, and he made a difficult decision: "Order, please come to the City Lord's Mansion to gather, there is something important to discuss in this mansion." ”

As soon as these words came out, many officials were shocked and looked at Chun Shenjun with disbelief.

Only Lin Ping's eyes flashed with a hint of conspiracy.
