Under Kamal's brutal conquest, the residents of Tiebi Province, which was originally living and working in peace and contentment, can be called a poor livelihood and have a very hard life. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Due to its proximity to the royal capital, Tiebi Province was not like the rich provinces in the south, which was greatly affected by the impact of the civil war.

Among them were the temporary conscription of the royal capital, and a large number of young men were conscripted into the army before they had undergone military training to participate in this battle for the throne.

Few of these young people were able to return smoothly, and even if they returned to their hometowns, they were all disabled for life in the war and lost their jobs.

However, the royal capital did not have the financial resources to compensate them, and after returning to their hometown, they not only had to live a peaceful life, but also had to pay taxes.

In addition to conscription, many villages in Tiebi Province were burned down by the rebels, and a large amount of fertile land was scorched.

As for who set the fire, the royal capital, as the victor, of course, blamed Leo and Leighton's "rebels" for doing it, which is simply mad.

But those who fled from the burned villages in Tiebi Province clearly remembered that they were wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Army when they set the fire.

In order to deal with the combined forces of Leo and Leighton, Rhaegar implemented the policy of clearing the wilderness, burning all the villages around the royal capital, so that Leo Leighton could not get food supplies on the spot, and the war situation was still unclear at that time, and even Rhaegar was still at a disadvantage.

The rumors of support for Leo and Layton are still high, and he has every reason to do so in order to put an end to the support of these people for Leo Layton's coalition forces.

But now that Rhaegar is the victor, the peasants whose homes have been burned down dare to accuse the new emperor of the crime in addition to swallowing their anger.

Under these circumstances, the inhabitants of Tiebi Province were already living very hard, and they hoped that they would be able to live in peace after the end of the civil war.

But as the governor, Kamal not only did not show sympathy to the people's feelings, but imposed taxes on them, and if the residents did not pay the taxes, the women of the family would be arrested.

Several villages protested against the tax collectors who came to collect taxes, but Kamal simply refused to give them a way out!

But Kamal did not show any mercy to the people under his rule, and directly sent troops to suppress them, and several villages totaling hundreds of people were slaughtered by him, and even after the entire village was plundered, the soldiers burned the village to the ground.

Of course, Kamal said that these were all the work of thieves, and he made a speech, saying that now that the war has just ended, thieves are rampant.

As the governor of the Iron Wall Province, he also has the heart to protect the safety of the people under his control, but if the people do not pay taxes, he will be powerless.

The town of Tarun is a town at the foot of the Taron Mountains, located at the end of the Taron Mountains, and named after the mountain range.

It is slightly larger than the village, with about 500 permanent residents, a fixed market, and a dozen or so villages around it to trade, and the town of Tarun will be about a day's journey north to the outskirts of the royal capital, and to the east is the seat of the Tiebi Province.

That is, Hammer City, Kamal sits in Hammer City to collect wealth from all over the Iron Wall Province, but the harvest is not ideal.

Today happened to be the day of trade in the town of Talen, and if it had been any other time, it would have been bustling with hundreds of people.

But today it is true that hundreds of people have gathered here, but it is not peasants who want to exchange goods, but soldiers in armor.

"I said, why are you paying so little tax? It's going to make it hard for me to go back, and I said Mayor, you're trying to embarrass me, right?"

Saige was the captain of these soldiers, and they were all troops sent by Kamal to collect taxes from all over the country, if only a few dozen people were needed in normal times.

However, during this time, there have been a number of riots in various parts of Tiebi Province due to their inability to pay heavy taxes, and Kamal has also formulated measures in response to this.

That is, the army that increased the taxation and secretly issued an order that any region that dared to resist would be forcibly suppressed!

"Lord Saige, you also know that our Tarun Town is not rich, and before the war in the royal capital, all the young people were recruited away, and we have no fertile land at our back, even I, an old bone, can only go up to the mountains to hunt, where can I make up so many taxes?"

An old man who was at least sixty years old had a wry smile on his face, he was dressed in tatters, and behind him was mostly a house made of stones.

These houses had not been repaired for many years, and although they were very close to the king, the seemingly prosperous king did not welcome them as countrymen.

They lived in poverty, and the whole province of Tiebi was notoriously poor, and many old and young watched from afar, and some children came out.

But he was soon dragged back by the woman, and these soldiers were not good, and there were many bad rumors before.

They were all worried that something bad would happen, and if it got to the point where the rumors had been, they really didn't know what to do.

"Can't pay your taxes?" I said, old man, you also know the temper of the Governor, and you must have heard about the town of Taal and the Tag, right?"

Saige smiled gloomily, since he led troops to carry out the task of collecting taxes, he was not a good man and a woman, and he would never be merciful when necessary.

"The towns of Taal and Tag...... Serge-sama, let's take some time, let's find a way to get the tax money together, please don't do that to us. ”

A cold sweat broke out on the mayor's forehead, he had heard the rumors of these two towns, that they had been ransacked by thieves, and that there was not a single living mouth.

People passing by there probably told about the situation of those two small towns, which were miserable and almost like ghost domains.

Everyone knows which way the thieves did such a terrible thing, but they don't dare to say it.

"Grace time, I'm like a grace period of a few days, but there's a lot of pressure on the Governor's side, and it's very difficult for me......

Saige paused at this point, his eyes slid behind the old mayor, and a girl of thirteen or fourteen looked timidly.

Just as the old mayor begged him for a long time, Saige handed a color to the soldier behind him, and the soldier immediately understood.

The two soldiers hurried towards the girl and quickly grabbed her, who immediately let out a burst of exclamation.

"You let go of me, you let go of me, what are you going to do, grandpa, I'm so scared, help me. ”

The girl was crying, her beautiful eyes oozed tears, and she immediately asked the old mayor for help, her eyes full of fear.

"Lord Sege, this is my granddaughter Xuelu, she didn't do anything wrong, please let her go, Lord Sege, I beg you!"

The old mayor immediately rushed over to save his granddaughter, Xuelu, but was kicked away by the soldiers.

"Yo, you old thing has a granddaughter, that's really good. ”

Seg laughed.
