Chapter 336: The Fire Raft Incident

The brewing master of Yangzhou was injured, and Chang Bin's entourage did not suffer many casualties, and that night, Chang Bin heard that he wanted to reward the group of fighting entourage and idle gang, but was stopped by Wei Ming.

"I'm afraid the reward won't work." Wei Ming said.

Chang Bin was stunned for a moment, "Then what else?" ”

Wei Ming smiled and told him, "Didn't there be a retinue who warned those Yangzhou people before they came up that as long as they dared to come forward, they would have to raise the tax by another percent?" Although this is not the words of the tax superintendent, but he represents the tax superintendent, and those Yangzhou people obviously heard the shouting, and dared to step forward to push, which is not to see the tax superintendent in your eyes. ”

This statement can make Chang Bin stunned.

"So, is it really a tax increase? Sancheng, it's too much! ”

Wei Ming glanced at him, "If you don't add this, wouldn't it be that the tax supervisor is weak and can be bullied, and everyone can resist?" How can the collection of alcohol continue? Not to mention the tax collection plan behind the tax superintendent! ”

Wei Ming had made a tax collection plan for Chang Bin before, and collecting wine was only the first step, so that if he gained a large amount of wine tax money, he could hire more people to promote tax collection in all walks of life, such as textiles, printing, and so on.

At that time, Chang Bin listened to this tax plan, and his eyes were almost straight, as if he had seen the clouds and the sun, and he was covered in golden light, so he became more and more convinced of what Wei Ming said.

When Wei Ming said this now, Chang Bin couldn't help but hesitate, "It seems to be like this!" Otherwise, wouldn't they think I was weak and deceitful, and my subordinates could beat and scold me at will?! ”

Chang Bin showed a hateful expression on his face, a pair of eyes narrowed, and Wei Ming added oil and vinegar to the side, "The tax supervisor must first establish his prestige, and the rest will be done naturally." ”

The more Chang Bin thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and slapped it on the coffee table.

"Plus one percent! From tomorrow, the liquor tax will be collected by 30%! ”

Wei Ming nodded and smiled beside him.

*

As soon as the 30% tax rate came out, the whole Yangzhou was on fire.

The winemaker is unconscious, and the tax money has been added to the people of Yangzhou. The winemaker used to do it in a famous winery in Yangzhou, and then he opened a winery independently, a little famous, and now he was beaten unconscious, and the family knelt in front of him and cried bitterly, and the doctor saw a lot, all of which were useless.

The doctors all said, "Resign yourself to fate!" ”

This sentence is fateful, but it can pull the hearts of Yangzhou people.

Could it be that they will also resign themselves to fate in the days to come?!

Where are they resigned to fate, it is clear that the net worth and life of the people of a city are in the hands of Chang Bin, the mine tax supervisor, especially Chang Bin increased the tax money to 30%, the wine merchants began to increase the price, and the laborers also planned to be dismissed!

There was constant friction in the city, and Chang Bin was still waiting for the people of Yangzhou to surrender at his feet.

And in a place he didn't know, almost all the wine merchants in Yangzhou City gathered together and discussed all day.

At night, on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal outside Yangzhou, a large number of rafts quickly gathered at some point, and hundreds of strong men guarded the rafts on the rafts with bundles of straw.

In the hands of the strong man, the torches are burning, the flames are flying against the river wind, and everyone's face is solemn!

Behind them were jars of all sorts of wine, and they had only one purpose, poured on straw!

All the Yangzhou wine merchants gathered on the shore, and everyone looked at the wooden stick in the hand of the short little girl, and the big drum with a wide hug was in front of her. Shen Wanli, the president of the Yangzhou Cocktail Club, refused to come forward, for fear of provoking Chang Bin, but these front-line wine merchants who were bullied had enough.

Cui Zhi stood next to Lou Kang, Lou Kang opened his pocket watch and opened his eyes, "Girl, the auspicious time has come!" ”

The auspicious time has come!

"Bang!"

Cui Zhi hit the drum with a stick, and hundreds of strong men on the shore moved when they heard the sound, and the torches in their hands were thrown out together. The torches fluttered on the river, and all of them fell on the straw on the bamboo raft.

In the dark night, the fire was leveled up, and for a while, as far as the eye could see, the rafts on the river were connected into a line of fire connecting the sky!

Hundreds of strong men immediately leaned down and threw the ropes that tied the raft under their feet into the river.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the raft followed the wind and waves, and all drifted downstream.

The line of fire has turned into a thick rope, reflecting the fiery red and shiny light of the entire pitch-black river, half of the sky is like a white sun, and the breath of fireworks spreads out, between everyone's breaths.

"Prosperity never dies! Rise and Die! Rise and Die! ”

The shore shouted in unison, Cui Zhi shouted this specious slogan, and suddenly seemed to have really been born in this country called Daxing.

Rise and Die!

They don't dare to insult or insult, they are all Daxing people, and they don't want Daxing to perish step by step under the hands of this robber-like mine tax inspector.

Rise and Die!

The emperor in the Forbidden City, do you want to continue to cover your ears and steal the bell?!

Hundreds of strong men chased the raft and shouted, and all night, escorted the raft all the way from Fucheng to the Yangtze River, shouting loudly across the river.

Opposite is Zhenjiang Mansion, and further downstream is Changzhou Mansion, Yangzhou people set fire to the matter of shouting along the river, overnight, the people of the three prefectures know.

Chang Bin, the tax supervisor of the mine, is a tax supervisor sent to Nanzhili, and today he collects the tax of Yangzhou Prefecture, and tomorrow he may collect Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, and Nanjing!

Who can escape?!

The things of the fire raft going down the river and raising their arms and shouting were successively imitated by the people of Nanzhili, and for a time, the water town of Jiangnan was full of fire.

This one set the fire and burned everyone's blood.

The officials of Nanzhili were shocked, and suddenly realized that this was an excellent opportunity, and they took the opportunity to write to the capital, and the excerpts were like flying pieces of paper, all on the way to the capital by Nanzhili.

Coincidentally, just five days after the Nanzhili fire raft, Jiangxi and Huguang, two places that had been persecuted by the mine supervisors and tax officials for a long time, followed suit.

The fire burned the entire Yangtze River, and in the midst of the raging burning, the officials' folds turned from the pieces of paper flying in the fire into a series of reminders, and went straight to the capital.

If the mine tax inspector can't ban it, it will only increase, and soon not only these three provinces will be affected, but all provinces will not be able to escape!

There are enough natural disasters in Daxing, so why add more man-made disasters?!

The fire raft was blazing, burning the entire Yangtze River, and the people shouted, "Prosperity will not die!"

It is still unknown what will happen to the future of the mine tax collectors or the future of the common people.

Next, it's time to wait.

*

Cui Zhi was a little afraid in her heart, she was not afraid that the emperor would arrest her, after all, the law did not blame the public, but she was a little worried about Lord Wei, who had planned everything.

Lord Wei had already broken away from Chang Bin, who would have thought that the fire raft incident had become more and more intense in the past few days, but he remembered Chang Bin again.

Chang Bin is dead this time.

The matter can be said to have started because of him, no matter whether he will be forced to recover the mine supervision tax and make this fate, Chang Bin will not be able to live if he goes back.

Wei Ming took advantage of Chang Bin, which is also true. Although Chang Bin fished the people, accepted bribes, and robbed houses, what he did was not worth dying, it was Wei Ming who pushed him in the back, and he was completely escorted to the execution ground.

Now Chang Bin is not dead, and he washes his face with tears in the house where he settled.

When the people of Yangzhou heard about it, they all laughed, but Lord Wei said that he wanted to go and see Chang Bin.

At this time, in this situation, to see a criminal alone?

Cui Zhi was really worried.
