On the dilapidated boat in the middle of the river, the Zhang brothers were still wondering, was they arrested as the "10,000 enemies" that the museum said?

Although they, as Lin Tailai's neighbors, can completely guess that this play is acted, what is the point of playing this?

Zhang Wu asked his eldest brother: "The hall is gone, what should you and I do now?" ”

Zhang Wen thought for a while and said: "The broken ship should be left here for others to see, which can increase the degree of conversation about sitting in the museum."

And you and me, two useless people, just jump into the water and swim away! ”

No one on the shore paid attention to the Zhang brothers, and hundreds of people looked at Fengqiao in unison, and their commander-in-chief was on the bridge.

Xi Siquan was a little at a loss, why didn't this plot go according to his own script at all?

Obviously, the most detailed settings have been made, but the result is all in vain, and today's deployment is all wasted.

Xi Siquan's feeling of being worshipped is like going from a director who should be in control of the audience to an inconsequential spectator, and the psychological gap is really huge.

Also, you Lin Tailai is too skillful in imitating various role switches, and you transform three times in a few words, and you can act at a glance!

He can deceive ordinary people, but he can't deceive a shrewd person like him!

And what Xi Siquan can't understand is, what is the purpose of Lin Tailai doing this?

Even if the merchant gang is discredited, then what? What can you do?

After thinking about it, I can only think for the time being that Lin Tailai's purpose is to get out and break the dilemma of being contained.

But Linglin Tailai can run away from the monk and can't run the temple, and it is impossible to never return to Suzhou City.

In fact, Lin Tai went back and forth to Suzhou, from the county government to the government office to the governor's court.

And they are also very concerned, after all, this is the first thorn in the current Suzhou City, and the natural enemy of most foreign officials.

Even the son of Shoufu compared with Lin Tailai, he seemed gentle and frugal.

Not to mention that this time, Governor Wei also secretly dispatched officers and soldiers to assist the Dongting merchant gang to pick up Lin Tailai.

Therefore, the new science and technology Wu Xie Yuan Lin Tailai was blocked by the villagers in Fengqiao, and then was arrested by the Nanjing people, and the government offices received the news as soon as possible, and then they didn't know why.

Some people are also aware that the development of events is obviously aimed at provoking regional contradictions, but is this useful?

In reality, no matter how loud the verbal argument is, how many people are willing to fight for regional contradictions?

It is precisely because they can't understand it that the bureaucrats of the various government offices have chosen to wait and see what happens.

Deng Zhixian of Wu County did not wait long, and the next morning, after all the officials were in procession, suddenly the drum outside the gate was beaten.

If there is no major incident or urgent cases such as human life and robbers, no one will usually come to beat this drum.

Immediately, I saw an old man in his seventies and eighties, holding a large stack of papers, trembling and walking into the court.

When the magistrate encounters this kind of old man who has not lived for a few years, he is generally not allowed to kneel, in order to show respect for the old virtues.

Then the old man said: "The people of Xujiang and Taihu Lake heard that Lin Xie Yuan was betrayed by Dongting merchants and thieves and was arrested by the Nanjing martial arts, and they were all indignant!

There are nine capitals such as the first, fifth, sixth, and thirteenth, and all the people jointly write the county honor! ”

Deng Zhixian: "."

If he remembered correctly, these nine capitals located on both sides of the Xu River and along the shores of Taihu Lake were all under the jurisdiction of each hall of Lin Tailai's forces.

Lin Tailai was arrested yesterday, and today he can compile the Book of the People, it's not premeditated!

The old man presented the large stack of papers in his arms and put them on the public case.

Deng Zhixian flipped it over casually, and the back was full of names and red fingerprints, this is the joint name of Wanmin!

Whether there are 10,000 or not, Deng Zhixian is too lazy to count them, it doesn't matter.

He only needs to look closely at the text on the first page to see what the public opinion really is.

Then I saw a key sentence in the text: "This year's strike on Nanjing grain." ”

For the magistrates in Jiangnan, money and grain are the most important work, and there is no one, especially when the time for collecting autumn grain is about to come.

Therefore, at this time, Deng Zhixian did not look down on the problem of shortage of money and food, which was directly related to his official hat.

Immediately angrily slapped the public case, and shouted at the old man: "What do you Diao people want to do!" ”

Deng Zhixian understood why Diao Min sent this old man in his last years to deliver the Book of Wanmin, because he was not a county lord who could beat him casually.

The old man trembled, as if he fell down at the slightest touch, and replied, "Although we are humble people, we also know the word righteousness.

Nanjing has no way, the business gang is shameless, Lin Jieyuan is innocent, and the people of our Jiudu are full of righteous indignation, and we can only use this to express the anger of the people! ”

Deng Zhixian is not a mediocre person who is easy to fool, and immediately hit the nail on the head: "According to this official, you gang of people just want to find a reason to evade taxes!" ”

The money and grain are uniformly dispatched and shipped after collection, who knows which grain will be sent to Beijing and which grain will be sent to Nanjing?

Therefore, the meaning of "boycotting Nanjing grain" actually refers to the boycott of this amount!

In the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Susong, the taxes are too high compared to other places, and it is actually difficult to collect the fixed amount of money and grain.

Otherwise, the officialdom will not acquiesce, as long as it can levy seventy percent, it will be qualified.

In this context, the number can fluctuate, and the locals will always fight with the government in order to pay less money and food.

In the end, how much to levy depends on the results of the game, the government can collect more if it is strong, and the government can collect less if it is weak, which is simply the eternal theme of the Jiangnan region of the Ming Dynasty.

In Deng Zhixian's view, the public opinion in this book of the people is pure nonsense, that is, the people of Diao people united to persecute the government in order to find an excuse to pay less money and food.

Nanjing City is a consumer city, and every year the military households of Nanjing Guard Station need to import about one million stones of grain, most of which rely on the south of the Yangtze River.

Take Wu County as an example, without careful calculation of the true color, the general quota of tax and grain is generally about 300,000 stones, and the amount transported to Nanjing is about 50,000 stones, that is, accounting for one-sixth of the total!

Therefore, the real public opinion of these people to "boycott Nanjing grain" is that on the basis of 70% of the qualifications, they will be discounted and subtracted by one-sixth, and finally only pay more than 50% of the quota!

The more Deng Zhixian thought about it, the more angry he became, what did you Diao people say "indignant about Lin Tailai's arrest", I am afraid that my mouth is full of righteous anger, and my heart is full of money and food!

But I have to admit that this matter is very tricky, because it is not a few people who are whimsical and talkative.

There is the organizational power formed by the community hall, there is a spiritual leader like Lin Tailai to provide a reason, and there is the real public support such as tax evasion!

The scale is still very large, and the people of these nine capitals account for almost one-third of the county's population, and it is not easy to suppress them.

The news of the people of Jiudu in Wu County spread all over Suzhou City in one day, and the whole city suddenly shook!

Moreover, the news quickly spread to other counties in Suzhou Prefecture, and many people, especially those who were able to do so, felt that their eyes were shining and they were ready to move.

Who wouldn't talk about such a thing?

Although the first Wu Jieyuan in the history of Suzhou was a native of Wu County, he belonged to the whole Suzhou Prefecture!

It's all Suzhou people tonight! Your own people must support your own people, and you can't watch Nanjing people bully your fellow villagers like this!

Do you still have a monthly pass? Are they all out of ammunition and food?
