Chapter 1002: The Last Resort

Xiao Hei has been out for half a year, and the purpose is to figure out the current situation.

He carefully explained the information he had collected to Zhu Xuanqing.

"So Su Yuan is hiding in Yongzhou. He has a lot of ability, and it is estimated that he has hidden no less than 100,000 people, right?" Zhu Xuanqing asked.

"I really haven't found out how many people there are, but it's definitely not less than 100,000." Xiao Hei said.

"There is one force in Yongzhou, and there are two forces in Huazhou...... What's the situation in Yuezhou?" Zhu Xuanqing asked.

"It's not optimistic, after we left, Yuezhou was already in chaos. Coupled with the snowstorm at the beginning of last year, Yuezhou is probably not much better than Huazhou." Xiao Hei said.

"And what about the other side of the Moon Lake? Isn't it Su Yuanxiu?" Zhu Xuanqing asked again.

"The Moon City army is all in the main city, the city gate is closed, and the control is very strict, so it is difficult to enter. But dead bodies are brought out of Moon City every day. There is a mass grave outside the Moon City, not to mention that forty or fifty thousand people are buried." Xiao Hei said.

"It's like Su Yuanxiu's means." Zhu Xuanqing said.

"Master, which Su Yuanxiu is real?" Xiao Hei asked.

At first, he didn't even know that there were two Su Yuanxiu, and he didn't understand until Zhu Xuanqing talked about him.

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the important thing is that we know that there are two people like this. These two Su Yuanxiu are all perverts!" Zhu Xuanqing said.

"yes, I see......

Xiao Hei continued to talk about what he had seen and heard in the past six months.

There was no Su Xuan by Zhuyu's side, and he always felt a little empty.

……

Wudu City, in the palace.

Inside the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Wen Shizhong received a holy decree, and he was made the head of the inner house.

Su Xuan's vacant position as the head of the inner hall was finally banned.

Actually, no

Feng Wen Shizhong is the head of the interior, and he is already the master of the internal affairs office.

Su Xuan didn't have any eyeliner in the Internal Affairs Office, and the eunuchs related to Yang Cheng were either sent to a place like the Huanyi Bureau to work as coolies, or were sent home.

The entire Internal Affairs Office is all Wen Shizhong's people.

Before he received this holy decree, he had never dared to live in the Internal Affairs Office.

Because Su Xuan has a certain psychological shadow for him.

Tonight, Wen Shizhong was finally able to enter the Internal Affairs Office without any worries.

The luxurious courtyard in the House of Internal Affairs has been idle for several years.

I used to live in it, but then Su Xuan didn't live there.

After he went to say goodbye to Xiao Jinghan, he returned to the Internal Affairs Office.

He sent someone to invite Liu Ru to come over as a guest.

To show his sincerity, he prepared a hot pot with his own hands.

This year, others have served him with food, clothing, housing and transportation, but he is still very quick with his hands and feet.

A table full of side dishes.

Soon, Liu Ru came.

"Congratulations, Boss." Liu Ru congratulated again and again.

"Don't dare, don't dare, everything is thanks to Lord Liu. Without Lord Liu, I wouldn't be where I am today." Wen Shizhong said with a smile.

"This table is rich enough." Liu Ru smiled.

"Please sit down, please take a seat!"

Wen Shizhong beckoned Liu Rushi to sit down and personally poured wine for Liu Rushi.

In recent months, Liu Ru has not bothered much thought.

Because Wen Shizhong has fully grown up, with him for a day, this great flame will not be peaceful.

However, Liu Ru is planning to make one last shot.

He has now almost eliminated Wen Shizhong's political enemies, if he doesn't move

couldn't help Bai You and Cui Yi, he even wanted to take these people out.

However, Bai You is already lying flat, Cui Yi, shouldering the mission of Qinghe Cui's family, he will not mess around.

How Da Yan goes, it is completely up to them.

reach

Yu Xiao Jinghan, he was really right.

Xiao Jinghan was fooled by him and Wen Shizhong the year before last, and he has not come to his senses since.

Her big dream of spring and autumn is destined to be empty.

"Father-in-law Wen, what day is next year?" Liu Ru asked with a smile while holding a wine glass.

"Tomorrow is the first day of the new year." Wen Shizhong said.

"No, no, no, think again." Liu Ru smiled.

"Oh, next year will be the first day of the first month of the third year of Yongle." Wen Shizhong replied.

"It's very important to slip~ next year, if you want to get the emperor's further reuse, you have to seize this opportunity." Liu said.

"Please also ask Lord Liu to teach you a lesson or two." Wen Shizhong said with a smile.

"At the beginning of his reign, the emperor issued a decree to grant amnesty to the world and exempt him from paying taxes for three years. Now, the three-year period has arrived." Liu said.

Hearing this, Wen Shizhong reacted.

It turns out that the emperor has been on the throne for three years unconsciously!

Xiao Jinghan couldn't change the year name in the first year of his reign, so it has been almost three years.

The decree issued back then is almost expired, so a new decree must be enacted.

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot. But if you say you want to collect taxes, even if the local governments at all levels really collect them, they may not pay them truthfully. And those powerful people, they didn't pay much tax last year." Wen Shizhong said.

Wen Shizhong is now the great eunuch of the Great Yan Dynasty, and he is very prestigious.

Above the court, those who follow me are prosperous

Whoever rebels against me perishes.

He leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he was in the limelight for a while.

However, because he set up a project to collect various taxes last year, he also had a direct confrontation with the Haoqiang from all over Dayan.

Those powerful people control the vast majority of the land, but paying taxes is like bloodletting, and they can't squeeze out much.

Therefore, Wen Shizhong had a certain contradiction with the scholar class.

What Qinghe Cui Clan, that Cui Yi looked at the breeze on his sleeves, and he didn't take anyone's money, but in fact, their Cui clan didn't know how many fields they controlled in the Qinghe area.

There are not a few people like Cui Yi.

"Do you know what caused the poor harvest across the country this year?" Liu asked.

"First of all, the ice and snow disaster at the beginning of the year left many people homeless and homeless. However, this is not the main reason, the main reason is that the fertile land in the world is monopolized by those noble clans. The Great Yan Dynasty has a poor harvest, but they have a good harvest every year." Wen Shizhong said.

Liu Ru nodded with satisfaction, smiling like a kind old father.

I have to say that Wen Shizhong's growth speed is beyond his imagination.

If it was at the beginning of this year, Liu Ru would have to explain this kind of thing to Wen Shizhong for a long time.

But now, without explanation, he himself understands.

This year's harvest is a lack of harvest, but none of those places are in arrears.

On the contrary, some people's receipts are larger than in previous years.

Just like Prince Shen of Huazhou, the capital city of Huazhou has not been in contact with the imperial court for several months, who knows whether Huazhou is in arrears or not?

It is estimated that the taxes that should be paid in Huazhou have already been swallowed by Prince Shen alone.

Wen Shizhong is not bad at all, no matter how the court and the people owe it,

Those who are strong and powerful in the clan should get their hands, and there will not be a grain of rice missing.

If they have a low harvest, they will have to oppress the common people.

The common people were exploited by the Haoqiang clan first, where is the surplus silver and grain to pay taxes to the treasury?
