"What are you handing in? My Liangzhou has a thin land and few people, and I can't even afford to eat, how can I get so many taxes?

Who makes up for what is not enough? Do you make it up or do I make it up?

The general has no money and no food, the soldiers can't feed him, and the horses can only gnaw on the ground with a handful of hungry bones, and they can't afford to pay it. ”

He Yuanling's attack stunned several officials who came to give an account and didn't know what to do, if others heard it, they might believe it, but they were not outsiders, and they didn't know anything.

They did collect all the taxes in Liangzhou, and the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou were not hungry.

The war horses were all raised to be fat and strong, and there was no such thing as being thin.

So, why did General He have an attack?

Someone tugged at his boss's sleeve, winked at him, and then walked out in unison.

When he got outside, his boss asked the man who was pulling his sleeve, "What are you doing?" It's still clear. ”

"The general made it clear, made it clear.

We are poor, and we can't pay well. ”

"What? This...... This ......"

The man pulled his boss away again, "Let's go back and talk about it, go back and talk about it." ”

Three days later, the new account books were handed in, and the data was about the same as the tax paid in previous years, but it was only less than half a percent.

This time, He Yuanling put down the pen and stamped it, and then asked people to imitate Hou Tingshi's handwriting to write an excerpt and cry and scold him He Yuanling, and left the seal of Hou Tingshi.

To leave somebody in the lurch? If these silver grains can really fall into the hands of the people who should be saved, He Yuanling will naturally not withhold them.

After leaving Liangzhou, I went to eat layer by layer, and it would be good to have three or four out of ten in the disaster area.

Rather than being filled with moths, it is better to leave them to fill their stomachs.

thought that this was over, and the people could still struggle again after tightening their belts, but it rose again in the coming year.

Business taxes have also risen, and there is no intention to leave a way for businessmen to survive.

But any merchant with a slightly thinner family background can't hold on.

Before the tax was paid, someone came to the capital, and no will suddenly came.

made a special trip to check the accounts of Liangzhou, and some people in the court suspected Hou Wencheng.

When everyone arrived at the city gate, He Yuanling received the news.

It's impossible to do it again this time, so I can only invite someone into the city first.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to see Hou Wencheng, and He Yuanling didn't plan to meet anyone, so he sent a few officials to receive him and send him to the poorest towns and towns.

If you don't go, then go back to your life.

Half a year later, the officials who came to investigate dragged their weak bodies on the way back to Beijing.

In the poor place of Liangzhou, although the people are very enthusiastic and practical, he really doesn't want to come again.

In the past two years, the people everywhere have had a hard time, not only Liangzhou, but Liangzhou has survived, and it is not like the people seen elsewhere who have yellow faces and thin muscles and cloudy eyes.

It's winter again, and it's supposed to be time for snow to fall, but this year's winter doesn't seem to be as cold as in previous years, and the snow hasn't fallen for a long time.

There are two red plums in the General's Mansion, and this year's red plums are obviously not as prosperous as in previous years.

Experienced old people guess that next year may not be a good year.

When it came to the end of the year, it was suddenly very cold, and even if there was a charcoal fire, there were many years of old and frail people who did not hold on.

It's not coming to the next year, and it's already a sad year.

Ordered each government to put grain and porridge, and summoned the doctor of the pharmacy to receive treatment.

Fortunately, countless houses have been renovated over the years, otherwise I am afraid that more people would not be able to hold on.

But even then, there are deaths in almost every township.

Finally, after surviving the winter, there was no thunder on this day, and there was not a drop of rain until the spring equinox.

Liangzhou is close to the mountains and rivers, but it can't withstand the rain in a spring.

After the beginning of summer, I saw that the mountains and forests gradually turned yellow, and the river water became lower and lower day by day, and the crops planted in the fields were all dreaded and could not survive.

If the crops don't survive, people can still live.

Food is getting more expensive every day, and it is sold in limited quantities.

On the streets of Lingcheng, He Yuanling personally cut down a few businessmen who had vicious grain prices that were too high, and finally suppressed them.

The court asked for food and money, and the fold went up, and there had to be this process whether to give it or not.

First take the grain that was deducted before and eat it, hoping to survive this year and slow down next year.

Tax? Naturally, it's impossible, let's talk about it without starvation.

The drought lasted until July, when a rain finally arrived.

Many people died of starvation, and not a single relief food arrived.

Compared with Liangzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou may not be able to see a living person for ten miles.

Then there is Yongzhou, Jizhou, the victims continue to go south, walk all the way to die, and those who did not die on the road were also boiled to death at the gate of the city.

From June to mid-July, Liangzhou received 30,000 victims.

When someone came, they took it, they had already made preparations, and shanties were set up in various places.

They are not allowed to enter the city for half a month, drink medicine outside the city and wait, and register first after confirming that there is no infectious disease.

It is naturally impossible to eat food for nothing, and those who do not honestly want to take advantage of the loopholes will be expelled first, and then those who do not listen will be beheaded at the gate of the city to show the public.

Some people flocked to Liangzhou, and some people were like snakes and scorpions.

He Yuanling's folds fell in front of the emperor like snowflakes, but at this time, the emperor had no time to take care of it.

I heard that there was a situation of Yizi eating along the way from Jizhou, and there was also a name: two-legged sheep.

The rise of bandits in various places is rampant, burning, killing and looting, including the mountains that Liangzhou has finally cleared, and there are traces of bandit activities.

Even if it's raining, it's long past the season of growing food, but drinking water can fill your stomach?

I thought that the first to be unbearable was King An, and it turned out to be a rebel army, first Qing, and then to the border of Hebei, and several teams were set up one after another.

When the imperial court noticed that it was sending troops to clean it up, it couldn't be suppressed for a while.

My uncle sent a letter, and the ship couldn't come back for the time being.

The southwest side is also in chaos, so it can only be stopped temporarily.

There was still another war, and sure enough, God teased like a cat and a mouse.

thought it could be better, but before he had time to be happy, he immediately turned his face and gave a big slap.

In order to suppress the rising bandits, He Yuanling came back less and less at night.

Shen Huarou couldn't find anyone when she wanted to find someone, so she could only make a rough decision with Meng Jingyao and the Li family.

In the evening, it was already the second half of the night until He Yuanling came back, and Shen Huarou didn't have time to warm up with him.

"We don't have any more time to wait."

He Yuanling, who was devouring food, paused when he heard this, he swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

He Yuanling looked at her fixedly and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid."

She was afraid, afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past.

"Okay."

In the middle of the night, after just this one word, it was the sound of He Yuanling chewing.

After squinting at home for a while, He Yuanling got up again to leave before dawn.

Shen Huarou pulled his arm and threw herself into his arms and hugged the person tightly.

"We're going to be able to hold it."

A moment later, He Yuanling's rough voice sounded above her head, "Definitely." ”
