Xiao Pan Juren returned to Zhangzhuang with the officials of the government, and the meaning of the current government is also obvious, since the rogues are coming, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to loot as much as they can.

As for the official coercion and the people's rebellion, so what?

The imperial court has its own butcher's knife.

At that time, it will be nothing more than killing a group of gangsters and mobs.

The head is reported to be another big victory.

When more people die, there is no shortage of food.

The people, stubble by stubble are like leeks, and if they die, they will die, just numbers.

However, Xiao Pan Juren didn't realize this, he only knew that after this round of tax increases by the imperial court, his family seemed to be able to annex land.

The peasants had to pay taxes, and they paid silver.

And when they buy grain, they can only do it themselves, and they can buy it at a low price, which is to make a profit.

When the peasants have no land, they beg their own families, dedicate their land to themselves, take the initiative to sell their sons and daughters, and take the initiative to become slaves.

The Pan family has a double lift of people, and there is also a family of ethnology, and a big family has been formed around the Pan family.

The imperial court wanted to collect taxes, and it was these gentry who relied on it.

Without the gentry, taxes could not be collected.

Relatively. Liu Wenyuan's family is much inferior.

Although the Liu family also has the same clan, but, firstly, there is only one person in the Liu family, in addition, a few years ago, there was a plague, which coincided with Liu Wenyuan going to participate in the hospital examination, accompanied by father and son, but he escaped a catastrophe, but among the same clan, he was infected with the plague and died a large number of people.

Now, after Liu Shancai was chopped alive by Zhang Mu, he divided the Liu family's land, which caused the Liu family to be even more depressed, and now Liu Wenyuan can only help the Pan family do something.

Xiao Pan Juren basically didn't care about anything, just gave an order, and began to ask the officials to raise taxes.

Add as much as you want.

The court didn't say anything, it all depends on their understanding, Xiao Pan Juren is also a bachelor, and when he was instructed, he just said that he couldn't let the rogue get a grain of grain.

Then, the housekeeper Shen Laojiu didn't talk nonsense.

The people of the entire Zhangzhuang were ordered to take out all the grain from house to house and hand it over to the Pan family's granary.

The reason is also very simple, you can't let the rogue snatch the grain and put it in the granary of the Pan family for safety.

The Pan family has recruited family members, and there are also village warriors under them to protect safety, which is not a problem.

At the beginning, many of the people in Zhangzhuang really handed over their grain to the granary of the Pan family, but soon, they found out that something was wrong, I handed over the grain to the granary of your Pan family, how did you give the official silver?

After asking again, this dog day turned out to be paying taxes?

The entire Zhangzhuang exploded.

You don't say how much you collect this tax, and there is no cap.

In addition to this, there was forced labor, and some peasants were immediately reduced to landless tenant farmers, or displaced people.

However, this is not enough.

After all, only a small number of farmers honestly put grain into the granary of the Pan family, and more farmers still did not pay taxes, and then, Shen Laojiu immediately took his family and officials to force these farmers to hand over the last grain of grain.

If you don't have money, you sell your sons and daughters.

If you don't have any money, you can take away every last bit of value in your house.

Naturally, in this process, Shen Laojiu was not idle at all, as the chief housekeeper of the Pan Mansion, he fished a little bit at home, this is not too much, right?

Shen Jiu, this is also literate and hyphenation, and it came out of Xiucai.

If Pan Juren is here, his methods will naturally not be able to hide from Pan Juren, but at worst, Pan Juren still pays attention to a sustainable and exhaustive fishing, so as not to do too much, and he still has to give people a way to live.

However, Xiao Pan Juren is different, he doesn't have so many ideas, he is just figuring out the scriptures and articles, waiting for the imperial examination.

And Shen Laojiu naturally understands that Xiao Pan Juren is easy to fool, and Lao Pan Juren is not easy to fool.

If you don't take this opportunity to make a big deal and make enough money, you are simply sorry for yourself.

This is Shen Laojiu's opinion, and in addition, it is the entire Pan family.

In the past, he was still somewhat constrained by Pan Juren, even if he could also loot benefits, but it was not like now, and now, when Pan Juren is not there, he is eager to open up and loot, and take advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to collect taxes and fight hard to annex land.

You Pan Juren, your family has 20,000 acres of land, others beg to give the land to you, and your family still has a grain business and a silk business, but our family only has a few hundred acres of land.

Your son reads a book, buys books every year, buys books, and invites famous teachers, which is an astronomical amount, but what about ourselves? That is, hundreds of acres of land, to buy books, to take the imperial examination, to invite famous teachers, to go up and down, where is a few hundred acres of land? My son will also be promoted to a person, and my son will also be a jinshi, and I want to live a better life than you Pan Juren.

The Pan family is all looting, and if you are a little careless, you will directly break into the door and snatch the last grain of grain, and the tax is not enough, so you will be forced to sell the land.

Some of the side branches of the Pan family were also harmed.

Food, land, population.

Pan Juren was not there for a while, and Xiao Pan Juren didn't care about anything, and for a while, the entire Zhang Zhuang people were dissatisfied.

And Xiao Pan Juren was figuring out the scriptures and articles at this time.

He only knows that the imperial court raises taxes, which is good for himself, anyway, this tax, no matter how you increase it, it will not fall on their heads, at this time, you still have to think about going up, Zhongjinshi, and becoming an official.

Liu Wenyuan is also following Xiao Pan to figure out the scriptures and articles with Xiao Pan Juren this time, this year, the lifting of people is in the front, and the Jinshi is in the back, if you want to restore the glory of the Liu family, first of all, at least, you have to be a lifter, and it is not enough to show talent.

"Here comes my father's letter!"

Xiao Pan Juren opened the letter in his hand, read it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Father has already found a ministry and donated an official, if there is a real vacancy, you can fill the vacancy!" ”

"Ruihe Tu", that is for Xiao Pan Juren to ask for a future, Pan Juren can't take "Ruihe Tu" to the ministry and visit the examiner.

"In this way, I want to congratulate Brother Pan!" Liu Wenyuan said with a smile.

Xiao Pan raised the humanity: "My father still mentioned the last palace exam, the emperor personally asked the candidates to answer, but I have to be ready!" ”

Xiao Pan Juren is very confident, Pan Juren mentioned in the letter that he will stay in Beijing for a few more days, and then come to see who the examiner is, at that time, so that he can know the examiner's preferences in advance, how the style of writing is, at that time, let yourself write a few articles, let the examiner comment, know your own style, so that the imperial examination, Jinshi is not difficult.

Xiao Panju's level is still there.

What he wants now is the palace test.

Liu Wenyuan was curious: "I don't know what the content of this palace test is?" ”

Xiao Pan raised people and smiled: "Your Majesty, there are eight questions in the palace test, first, it is the scholars who rule the world with me, but now the scholars are misbehaving, I want the scholars to restore the ancient road, what can I do?" “”

Second, the territory of the Jurchens is narrow and outnumbered, once they go to attack North Korea, the three Koreas will not defend it, why is this?

"Third, now the imperial court of Sanxie and Tianjin and Denglai are heavily guarded, resulting in a surge in military spending in the imperial court, what is the way to eliminate Houjin and restore the territory?"

"Fourth, now that the hooves are spreading, the court is short of money and salary, some people do not serve the public state, and blindly let the court reduce money and grain, doesn't the court know the truth of caring for the people? Is there any way to both comfort the people and enrich military spending? ”

"Fifth, Tuntian is a solution to military spending, why does it always fail to achieve practical results? Grain and horses are in short supply for the army, so why are they always in arrears? Is there any way to put an end to this problem? ”

"Sixth, is there a way to recover the Hetao now? What arrangements were made for the surrendered Mongols? The Mongol Han and Hetao tribes have united, what is there to separate them? ”

"Seventh, the bandits are strong, the pirates are often harassed, and floods and droughts are frequent, what is the way to deal with them?"

"Eighth, the Tang and Song dynasties were not so meticulous in the division of civil and military affairs, and the appointment of talents by Taizu of this dynasty was also quite flexible, what is there to improve the status of military generals?"

Liu Wenyuan was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but say, "This is the content of the last palace exam?" ”

"The emperor personally came up with the question, and it was expected that this time the question was not bad!" Xiao Pan said: "If you can prescribe the right medicine, you can also get a good result in this palace test!" ”

Liu Wenyuan opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door.

The sound was very loud, and it was transmitted to the ears of Xiao Pan Juren at once.

The two were stunned for a moment, and then Xiao Pan Juren walked straight out of the gate, and saw that the gate of Pan's Mansion was already surrounded by I don't know how many peasants, everyone was making noise, and the Pan family's family was already very vigilant at the gate.

Fortunately, Zhang Mu raided Liu's house last time, which made Xiao Pan Juren have an extra eye and raised the wall of his house, which is more than three meters high, and it is not easy to climb in.

"Young Master, why did you come out?" Shen Laojiu politely looked at Xiao Pan Juren.

Xiao Pan said: "It's too noisy! ”

Shen Laojiu said angrily: "These Diao people refuse to pay taxes, and they dare to make noise here, disturbing your study, young master!" ”

Xiao Pan frowned, walked out, looked at the people gathered in front of him and said, "What are you doing?" ”

The first guy surnamed Zhang, named Zhang Lian, saw Xiao Pan Juren come out, and immediately said loudly: "Xiao Pan Juren, the big guy can't survive, and please ask Xiao Pan Juren to give us a way to live!" ”

"Alive? What, the way to live? Xiao Pan Juren was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but say: "The court pays taxes and resists the rogues, you refuse to pay taxes, are you reasonable?" ”

"The imperial court pays taxes, not to mention how much it collects, we have already paid taxes four times this year, and we still have to pay taxes, where do we get the money to continue to pay taxes?" Zhang Lian said: "The big guys can't survive!" ”

Xiao Pan Juren pointed to the heavens: "Pay taxes and suppress thieves, benefit the country, benefit you, why are you so ignorant?" Why can't you survive paying taxes for the imperial court? ”

Zhang Lian's mouth opened angrily, and then he said angrily: "Xiao Pan Juren, since you pay taxes to suppress thieves, benefit the country and us, why don't you pay taxes and let us pay taxes?" ”

"I am from the imperial examination, I am a person, this is the national policy of the imperial court!" Xiao Pan Juren said as he should.

Shen Laojiu on the side said respectfully: "Young master, you are still too kind-hearted, what are you talking to this group of Diao people?" Let me do it! ”

While speaking, Shen Laojiu took out a horse whip and whipped it heavily on Zhang Lian's body.

Zhang Lian couldn't dodge, he was directly pumped on his body, and Zhang Lian, who was in pain, screamed, but Shen Laojiu was whipped wildly one whip after another, and after a while, Shen Laojiu said loudly: "Get out, tell you, you gang of Diao people, if you don't roll, he will be the end!" ”

No one retreated, but Zhang Lian, who was lying on the ground, hummed in his mouth: "Get up, hungry and cold slave!" ”
