"Haha, Mr. Ma, how are you doing?"

Li Liang really didn't break his promise, and not long after the official document arrived, his people also arrived. However, there were no two prefects of Chizhou and Luzhou mentioned in the official document behind him, and there was only one kid Ma De was a little familiar with: Dog. However, seeing that the little guy couldn't help but stretch his hands behind and massage his buttocks, Ma De could also estimate why the two prefects couldn't keep up.

"I'm not good!" Ma De was too lazy to be polite to Li Scale, "What the hell is going on?" Now that you know the situation, you have to know a little bit about it! ”

"Alas, my teacher Ma, this time is really a big trouble! …… However, I just listened to Chen Yigang and Zhang Chunxiu, who came to me yesterday to ask about the relationship between the two of us, probably because they wanted to push me to ring the wooden bell for you...... But they didn't know why, how could I divulge something? You say yes......"

"Stop!" Mader shouted.

"What's wrong?"

"You kid don't talk about those things that don't make sense, get to the point! If you delay Lao Tzu's kung fu again, I will stop your Fengyang Mansion first! Ma De said with a dumbfounded stump.

"Hehe, yes, yes, Mr. Ma, don't worry!" Giggling, Li Liang felt relieved in his heart, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's just a one-day friendship with Mader, and he can't figure out what kind of temper Mader is. However, looking at Made's performance now, he has some foundation in his heart.

"Then don't say it quickly!" Mader urged again.

"Yes! Mr. Ma, according to Chen Yigang, the prefect of Dangchi Prefecture, a few days ago, there were three ...... of Taiping Mansion, Huizhou Mansion, and Ningguo Mansion."

"Stop!" Mader shouted again.

"What, what's wrong?"

"What did you just say, Ning Guofu?"

"Yes, it's Ning Guofu. Old...... My lord, what's wrong? Could it be that there is something wrong with this Ning Guofu? Li Liang asked cautiously.

"Ah, nothing! You go on to say. Ma De said on his lips, but he was secretly muttering in his heart: "What are you doing, even Ning Guofu has it?" No wonder there are so many things going on in Anhui, just such a name is annoying enough. …… Alas, as a governor, I don't even know the names of the prefectures and counties under my rule, and I'm really not qualified as a governor! Looks like you have to recharge your batteries! ……”

"Yes!" What's wrong with this guy? Li Liang felt that Ma De was a little weird, but since Shangfeng had an order, he had no choice but to continue, but the title of "Teacher Ma" didn't dare to use it indiscriminately, "My lord, those three prefects want Chen Yigang to sign a joint petition with them, and when the time comes, they will stop your car together, saying that they want to sue Shi Shilun...... As a result, Chen Yigang didn't dare to be named, and dragged the matter down, and then found Zhang Chunxiu, the prefect of Luzhou, and the two of them heard that I knew you, so they came to me together, saying that they hoped I could tell you in advance, and save you from being caught off guard at that time! ”

“…… That's it? Mader asked after a moment's silence.

"That's right! My lord, this is a big problem! There are 21 counties in three prefectures and five prefectures, but almost half of the magistrates in Anhui. With so many people coming to you to tell Shi Shilun, you have to come up with an idea......" Li Lan said.

"Ideas? Hmph, these guys just want to give me a dismount! Twenty-one counties in three prefectures and five prefectures...... Twenty-nine officials, running to me, the newly appointed governor, to complain? With this ability, why don't they go to the court and go to the emperor to complain? …… Looking for me? I'm afraid that I just came here, and I don't understand the situation, and I don't want to offend the public...... Coerced the crowd to exert pressure, hum! Mader said angrily.

"What the adults said is that these people must have hit this idea!" Li Liang nodded.

"Do you know what they want to sue Shi Shilun?" Mader asked again.

"Listening to Chen Yigang and them, it seems that it is because of the recent order of 'suspending the collection of fire consumption' issued by the Fantai Yamen and the Zhentai Yamen!" Li Liang replied.

"Stop the fire? …… Or was it Shi Shilun and Lu Longqi's order together? Mader pursed his lips and pondered. Originally, the term "fire consumption of silver" originally referred to the fact that the magistrates would collect taxes and fees from the people, and would receive a large amount of loose silver, and when the silver was melted and cast into large ingots, there would be some loss, which was called fire consumption. Of course, this loss cannot be compensated by officials, so the fire consumption must be added to the people. In the beginning, officials increased the amount of fire consumption and concealed it, but later, the imperial court explicitly stipulated that the fire consumption should be collected in addition to the tax, so that it was legalized. But how much? The rules of the imperial court were never seriously enforced, and they were always added to the standards, almost publicly. How much to add? Only according to the conscience of the officials, the excess is the officials themselves. The so-called "three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver" refers to this kind of non-illegal input. Therefore, the fire consumes silver, which is basically a legal looting! Most of this money has become the capital for officials to send favors, pull relationships, and maintain a luxurious life.

Think about it, a county, the population is as small as tens of thousands of households, as large as hundreds of thousands of households, even if only one penny of silver is charged, it is thousands of taels to more than 10,000 taels, how much higher is this than the annual salary of a county order? This is a sum of income that has completely entered the pockets of the officials themselves, and is at their discretion!

"No wonder ......" Shi Shilun and Lu Longqi's orders are tantamount to cutting off the financial routes of these officials, no wonder they will be angry. Moreover, coupled with the things that Shi Shilun was messing with before, if these officials didn't take the opportunity to fight back, they would really miss the opportunity.

"My lord, judging from the small, there must be capable people among these officials!" Xing Ming had been listening, and then spoke.

"Capable people? Hmph, I don't think they may be capable people, but these people must be very bold! Ma De curled the corners of his mouth disdainfully, "I don't even know that I'm one of Shi Shilun's recommenders, and you want to come to me to complain, hmph, I want to see what these people can do!" ”

“…… What did you just say, my lord? Shi Shilun was recommended to Anhui by you? Xing Ming was inexplicably surprised. It is already surprising that Ma De has an old acquaintance with the prefect of Fengyang Prefecture in Anhui, and now even a provincial envoy is recommended by him...... It suddenly dawned on him that Mader's was far more promising than he had expected.

"Master, there are two prefects outside who ask to see me, saying that they are with Master Li......" Xing Ming was stunned, and Hai Liu came to report.

"My lord, it may be Chen Yigang and Zhang Chunxiu...... Li Liang continued.

"Well, then call them in!" Ma De waved his hand and said.

************

"Haha, Gege, this is the Nian Qianyao who was Lord Yu's deputy? Why do you look so good? ”

Nian Qianyao and Isan A followed Luo Xin and rode into Ningguta together. As soon as they arrived, they met a tall man with a beard and a leather jacket,...... And this big man's language is a little unpleasant.

"Who is Your Excellency?" Nian Qianyao was not overly pretentious, relying on his temper, he frowned coldly and asked.

"You ask me? Hahaha...... My name is Wu Rigen*! The big man laughed.

"You're a Mongol?" I have long heard that Luo Xin has a lot of deals with several Khans of Mongolia, and it seems that this is true! After hearing Dahan's name, Nian Qianyao thought secretly.

"Yes, I'm a Mongol!" Wu Ri looked at Nian Qianyao with a smile, as if he had seen something new.

"Alright, Prince Wuri, don't play tricks. …… General Nian, Lord Yi, this is the eldest son of the prince of Korqin Zhuo Suotu, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wurigen*, of course, there is nothing wrong with you calling him Lord Belle! ......" Luo Xin introduced Nian Qianyao and Isan A with a flat expression.

“…… Prince Korqin? Isana has been trying to keep silent and deep, but as a result, he is still dumbfounded by the name of the Mongolian man in front of him.

……

"Xiaguan (the last general) greets His Royal Highness the Prince!"

For other Mongol Khan kings or princes, as officials of the Qing court, Isan A and Nian Qianyao may still be able to maintain a little of their own reserve, but the people of Horqin are different! That's the Empress Dowager's maiden home! The Mongolian tribe with the most marriages with the Aixin Jueluo family! …… Therefore, they only relied on the number of etiquette to give a salute to Wu Rigen*, and Yue Zhongqi, Murcha and others who followed behind them also failed to escape.

"Hahaha, free of charge, I heard Lord Yu say that Nian Qianyao is a rare hero today, so as soon as I heard that you were coming, I couldn't help but rush over to take a look, tsk...... It's just too delicate! Wu Rigen* didn't know whether he was praising or hurting people, but no matter what, Nian Qianyao could only accept his comments with a sullen face, and there was no other way to protest than to say "Your Highness said you laughed".

“…… Prince Uri, didn't you just drink with Asori? Where is he? Seeing Nian Qianyao and Isanga's mood had sunk to the bottom at the beginning, Luo Xin asked Wu Rigen casually.

"Oh! That boy...... No, the amount of alcohol is too poor. I've already been drugged away! Hahaha......" Wu Ri laughed.

"Asuri?" As soon as Ethan's words came out, he knew that something was wrong, but his mouth was too slippery, and there was really no way.

"Oh! Lord Yi, you will manage the Jilin flag affairs in the future, don't you know that Asuli is the son of Prince Guo? ......," Luo Xin asked.
