Chapter 158 Secondary Taxation

But no matter what, Qin He had already left Qinghe City, and even if they thought about it, there was no way.

In the face of the current situation, in addition to thinking about it in their hearts, people can only lament that the newly appointed Taishou has done nothing.

Of course, if he said that he did nothing, it would be false, after all, the order he gave made the entire Qinghe Prefecture miserable now.

So the role of the new Taishou is still there, but it's just a side effect.

Time flashed and another month passed.

In this month's time, Yuan He can be said to be equally miserable.

Li Tianhe not only did not have the slightest intention of acting, but also kept urging him to speed up the collection of the remaining taxes.

You must know that in today's Qinghe Week, what should have been collected has already been collected, but obviously Li Tianhe thinks that it is still not enough.

Whenever he talked about sending troops to exterminate the Qin River, he kept delaying time on the grounds of insufficient supply.

Until the passage of this month, the officers and soldiers who came to exterminate Qin He did not even see a single one of Qin He's subordinates.

For such a situation, Yuan He dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

On this day, Yuan He was still worried about how to get the remaining people who had not paid taxes to pay, and he could hear someone report it.

"My lord, Lord Li has invited you to go to Qingqing Mansion to discuss important matters!"

Hearing the scary and saying this, Yuan He's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

What is this to discuss?

This is just Li Tianhe's rhetoric, and it is estimated that he will continue to urge tax collection when he goes.

But if you don't go, Yuan He can only go to Qingqing Building helplessly.

When they arrived outside the box, there was already a burst of laughter and laughter, and there was also a woman's coquettishness.

For this kind of commonplace thing, Yuan He could only slander in his heart.

Not long after knocking on the door of the box, Li Tianhe's voice was already heard inside.

"Come in!"

Hearing this, Yuan He stepped in.

Seeing Yuan He's arrival, Li Tianhe also stood up directly from the chair and looked at him.

"Lord Yuan, it's been a month......

Speaking of this, Li Tianhe did not continue, but looked at Yuan He with a meaningful gaze.

Yuan He heard this, but he was also a monk who was the second in Zhang, and he was confused.

I don't know what Li Tianhe meant by this?

Seeing that Li Tianhe had no intention of continuing, Yuan He could only ask tentatively.

"I wonder if your lordship is ready to send troops?"

However, what Yuan He didn't expect was that as soon as he said this, Li Tianhe's face changed suddenly.

"Sending troops? What do we use to send troops? ”

"At present, we don't even have food and grass for the march, so what are we going to do with our troops?"

In the face of Li Tianhe's loud shouting, no matter how stupid Yuan He was, he could still hear the meaning of the words.

It's grain and grass again!

The grain and grass in the entire Qinghe Prefecture are almost cleaned up by these guys in front of them.

Are you embarrassed to say such a thing now?

Although Li Tianhe did not explain his words, Yuan He also heard from his words that this was a new beginning, and it was also the beginning of a new round of tax collection.

Looking at Li Tianhe, who was looking angry at the moment, Yuan He was already scolding in his heart.

Although he Yuan He is not a good official, sooner or later there will be problems with this kind of tax collection.

After all, even life has become a problem, so who would want to do things for them in Ansheng?

If it is a long time, there will inevitably be more Diao people.

At that time, it is not difficult for Yuan He to imagine that those who are forced to do so will go directly to Qinhe.

Yuan He had already received the news that someone had quietly swam out to sea to take refuge in the Qin River.

This was still half a month ago, and now if there is another round of taxes, Yuan He estimates that more people will choose to take refuge in Qinhe.

In fact, Yuan He did not know that the people he knew of who had gone to take refuge in the Qin River were only a very small part of them.

If someone really counts, they will inevitably find that this number has reached a terrifying number of more than 100 people.

Don't think that these more than 100 people rarely know, now there are officers and soldiers patrolling the coastline at any time, and as long as they are discovered, they will be taken away directly.

Under such circumstances, more than 100 people can go up to the island to take refuge in the Qin River, which is enough to see the determination of these people.

And, there are many more waiting for the opportunity in the future.

Such a situation is impossible even if the government wants to suppress it now.

If you stay in Qinghe Prefecture, you will inevitably face starvation, go to the island to take refuge in Qinhe, and there is still a chance of life.

What's more, Qin He already had an excellent reputation when he was in Qinghe City.

Whether it is treating ordinary people or treating their own people, they are notoriously good.

As long as you can go up to the island, you don't have to worry about starving to death.

Thinking back, Yuan He's gaze fell on Li Tianhe's body, and he bowed slightly before nodding.

"My lord, I know how to do it."

Seeing that Yuan He understood what he meant, Li Tianhe showed a smile.

"Lord Yuan, you just have to do what you have to do, and in the future, talents like Lord Yuan, I will definitely recommend one or two to the top."

Hearing this, Yuan He's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he even spoke in a flattered tone.

"In the future, I hope that Lord Li will say a few more kind words, what do you need to do under the officials, just give orders, the officials will definitely do their best!"

With Yuan He's words, the smile on Li Tianhe's face became even stronger.

patted Yuan He's shoulder before he spoke.

"As long as Lord Yuan does things well, he will naturally get what he deserves."

As soon as he finished saying this, Li Tianhe motioned for Yuan He to sit down and sit down together.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Yuan He naturally saw Li Tianhe's hint to him at the moment, so he also took the initiative to leave the restaurant with something to do.

After Yuan He left, Zhao Qiongfang looked at Li Tianhe and asked worriedly.

"Lord Li, I'm afraid Qinghe City can't afford it, this second tax squeeze, right?"

Zhao Qiong has also seen that the life of the common people in Qinghe City is not good these days, and now even he didn't expect that this Li Tianhe in front of him would actually carry out a second tax.

When Li Tianhe heard Zhao Qiong's words, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

"What does this person from Qinghe City have to do with me? Right now, I'm just acting on orders, if there is no food and grass first, then what are we going to do to fight that Qin Kou? ”

The words were high-sounding, but Zhao Qiong knew that there would be problems if this continued.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Qiong still didn't care too much.

Even if something really goes wrong at that time, won't there be a substitute for the dead?

Thinking about it, his gaze looked towards the box door.

And the substitute ghost in his mouth was Yuan He, who had just left.
