Hearing the words of his subordinates, the new Taishou, who was already full of sorrow, sighed repeatedly.

How could he not hear the purpose that had let him pass?

This is definitely another Hongmen banquet asking him for money.

However, he had to go.

If you don't go, you will definitely be given a bad name for suppressing bandits.

When the time comes, don't talk about this too guarded position, I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life.

With such a nervous mood, the new Taishou went to the restaurant.

The restaurant is naturally the bottom of the river that was originally opened by the Qin River, but now it has been renamed Qingqinglou.

It's not that the hotel manager wants to take this name, but ...... This Qingqing Building was personally nominated by Lord Chincha.

Homonym "capture Qin".

Compared with two months ago, the business of this Qingqing Building has long been much worse than before.

It's not a problem with service, but now that the entire Qinghe City is tightly clothed and fed, how can there be any extra silver taels to consume?

Not only ordinary people are affected, but even those large families are living worse day by day because of today's taxes.

When he arrived at Qingqing Building, the current Taishou went straight to the Tianzi No. 1 box.

As soon as I arrived outside the box, I could already hear bursts of laughter coming from inside.

knocked on the box door, and the current one was too conservative to take care of his appearance.

"Come in!"

As a voice came from the box, the current Taishou pushed open the door of the box and walked in.

"Lord Yuan, you can be regarded as here!"

As soon as I walked into the box, a voice came to my ears.

Looking in the direction from which the voice came, it was a middle-aged man sitting on the main seat.

The current Taishou naturally recognizes this person, who can he be if he is not a member of the military department of a neighboring province.

This person's surname is Zhao, and the word is a dome.

As he spoke, Zhao Qiong had already stood up and greeted the current Taishou with a warm face.

"Yuan and Lord Yuan, I wonder if this military expenditure has been prepared now?"

Zhao Qiong didn't beat around the bush, nor did he give any hints, and asked bluntly.

Yuan He is naturally the current Taishou.

When Yuan He heard this, although there was a smile on his face, there was actually a secret scolding in his heart.

In fact, this time he came to arrest Qin He, and the court had already allocated special funds.

As for why he still needs a small Qinghe Prefecture to guard this military expenditure, there is no need to say anything about the pickles.

Yuan He, who was still smiling a second ago, heard this, and the smile on his face gradually converged, replaced by a touch of helplessness.

"Lord Zhao, this matter is indeed not something that can be rushed for a while! Earlier, when Qin Kou left, he had already taken most of the food and supplies in the city......"

Yuan He, who originally wanted to explain, was indeed interrupted by force.

"Lord Yuan, we only look at the results and not the process in this matter!"

The person who interrupted was none other than Li Tianhe, the minister of the Imperial Mission, who was on the throne.

Obviously, Li Tianhe's face was a little ugly at this moment.

The words fell, and without waiting for Yuan He to speak, he continued.

"If it's slow, it will affect the extermination of Qin Kou at that time, and this official will only ask you!"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan He fell to his knees again and again.

"The lower officials don't dare! The lower officials don't dare! ”

"Humph! Forgive me for not daring! ”

With a cold snort, Li Tianhe glanced at Yuan He, his face softened a little, and then he spoke.

"If it weren't for the eagerness to suppress the coquettishness, we would naturally wait for the imperial court to allocate the materials, but now that the Holy Lord has ordered this matter, how can we be careless as courtiers?"

"Does Lord Yuan still find this matter difficult to handle now?"

Yuan He dared to say that it was difficult to do anything, so he had to grit his silver teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Yuan He bowed his hand, and then he couldn't help it, and said, "This matter must be done by the officials!" ”

After getting Yuan He's reply, Li Tianhe was obviously satisfied, and nodded before he said.

"Then Lord Yuan will be busy with your business!"

As he spoke, Li Tianhe waved his hand.

Seeing this situation, Yuan He felt bitter in his heart and had to leave the box.

Out of the box, Yuan He seemed to have changed his face, with a gloomy face.

"Phew! Don't think I don't know that the transfer money from the court has arrived! ”

"If you and other corrupt people dare to be greedy even for this kind of money, they are not afraid of being held to death!"

Yuan He felt a flurry in his heart.

Of course, these words can only be said in one's own heart.

As for putting it on the bright side? That, of course, is impossible.

Even if you borrow ten guts from him, you don't dare to do it!

I'm afraid that as soon as he reported it, someone had already intercepted it.

Thinking about it, Yuan He had already walked out of the Qinglou.

Glancing at the crowd on the street, Yuan He's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm.

Since this Li Tianhe wants to force him, then why does he need to care about the life or death of the people in this Qinghe City?

Isn't it just silver taels?

There is still a way to find a way!

Thinking about it, Yuan He seemed to feel a lot better, and he walked directly back to the Taishou Mansion.

In the afternoon of the same day, a new decree was issued.

In order to suppress the bandits, there is money in Qinghe City, but there is no money to pay for food.

The people of Qinghe Prefecture, who were already living a tight life, were even more boiling after learning of this new order.

It was enough for the family to eat the grain of the autumn harvest, but now under this new order, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on to the autumn harvest.

However, if you don't pay it, you won't be able to pay it, and if you don't pay it, you will be dragged to the yamen and tortured.

When the time comes, not only will the silver or grain be gone, but even the people will suffer with it.

In a flash, it was seven days.

The new order quickly had an effect.

Now the new money and food have exceeded the amount of Qinghe City in a year, which can be said to have squeezed the people in Qinghe Prefecture cleanly.

Of course, it is not the people of Qinghe Prefecture who are the worst.

It was a refugee from the north.

They already had no food, and now in the face of the new law, they not only have no money, but also no food.

In the face of such a situation, Xinling also quickly supplemented countermeasures.

As long as there is neither, they will be pulled directly to the sea to build fortifications, or to the shipyard to work as laborers.

Originally, these refugees thought that if they went to those places, they would at least be able to eat together.

didn't admit that the rice didn't mix, but consumed some of the remaining physical strength.

Want to eat?

OK!

Figure it out for yourself!

Of course, the daily hours of labor must be completed, and if you are not satisfied, it will naturally be punished.

Under such a high-pressure new order, ordinary people can hold on for a while, but those refugees and displaced people have died a lot.

But even so, the new order still has no intention of changing.

As for what are those military masters who have poured out the resources of the entire Qinghe Prefecture to support now?

Naturally, it was to enjoy life comfortably on a warship.

If you find it boring, you can also get off the boat and find some fun.

Judging from their appearance, they look like they are actively suppressing cowards!

But what about the common people?

can only dare to be angry but dare not speak!

For a while, many people began to miss Qin He's days in Qinghe City.
