"Lin Inspector Jun has reduced the previous field tax and commercial tax to three-tenths of the previous tax."

Many of the people in the field were farmers who relied on farming and traders who bought small things, and their eyes widened when they heard the news.

"Alas, what are you a scholar who is confused, sour and crepe, what does it mean that three times out of ten, I am a rough person, I don't understand!"

The butcher listened in a daze, and said slightly angrily.

Many people, like the butcher, looked puzzled.

"Hehe, that is to say, in the past, if the people of Linnan City had to hand in ten liters of grain a month, now they only need to hand over three liters of grain."

"In the same way, if you have to hand over ten taels of silver a month, now you only need to hand over three taels of silver."

"In addition, Lin Overseer will also exempt the taxes of the previous two months."

The scholar said these three sentences in one breath, and the people below first lost their minds for a short time, and then wiped their tears excitedly.

In the past, after paying taxes, they did not have much food and money left, and they did not even have enough money for basic food.

And on the first day of Lin Dujun's arrival, he directly reduced the tax revenue in the city by seventy percent, and also exempted the tax revenue for the first two months, which made them not excited.

The butcher in the crowd was also a little ecstatic.

Although he was illiterate, he was able to see how much he would benefit from cutting three-tenths of his taxes.

"What's written on it?"

The butcher asked, excited.

Everyone also looked forward to the scholar.

"The next thing is indeed conscription, Lin Inspector said, now the land of Jiangbei is rampant, not only in the mountains, but also in the river, his soldiers do not know the nature of water, so they plan to hold a conscription meeting in Linnan City."

The scholar told the story.

When the people heard this, their faces were hard to look at, especially the fishermen.

Although they are not the hardest-hit area, they can't grow enough food.

Many people couldn't bear it, and followed the villains to the river to become river bandits, specifically intercepting fishing boats and merchant ships on the river, before the city organized several times to suppress bandits, but the river bandits were too cunning, and the officers and soldiers of Linnan City had not yet reached each other, and the river bandits had no trace.

And the previous city lord only cared about imposing taxes, suppressing bandits, such a wasteful and thankless thing, all of which were perfunctory.

If someone is robbed, even if you sue the yamen government in the city, no one will pay attention to it, but will impatiently drive you out.

This led to complaints from fishermen and merchants.

"If you really want to be conscripted! However, if the tax reduction can be implemented and the family can afford to eat, then it is nothing to be a soldier. ”

In the crowd, some people thought about it, and some said expectantly.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"And everyone, Lin Inspector advocates not compulsory conscription, but voluntary recruitment, as long as you pass the physical examination and join the Jiangbei and Southern Expeditionary Army, you can get fifteen taels of silver."

The scholar continued.

"Fifteen taels of silver! It's enough for my family to eat and drink for half a year! ”

The butcher was surprised.

"Are you serious?"

Many men asked excitedly.

"It's written in black and white, it's clearly written, I don't need to deceive everyone."

The scholar pointed to the brand-new notice and said with a smile.

"Then I'll go back and tell my man!"

"I'll go back too!"

"Xiucai! Where is the place where the overseer Lin said about the physical examination? ”

When the people heard these two news, they couldn't stand anymore and wanted to tell their families about the good news.

There were also many men who stayed where they were, asking where the scholar's physical examination was located.

The scholar shook his head, indicating that the notice was not written on it.

The men gave up and went on happily.

……

In the castle lord's mansion.

Lin Bei looked at the mountains of silver piled up in the silver vault and shook his head.

This silver is obviously the dirty silver obtained from years of corruption and forced taxation.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the piles of silver.

Ah Yue, who was following behind her, just glanced at it, and then frowned, the inexplicable stench in the air made her feel uncomfortable.

"Your Excellency."

Lin Beizheng picked up a silver ingot, and a soldier walked into the silver vault, looking at the silver on the hill, his eyes were full of surprise.

"How?"

Lin Bei looked at his anxious appearance and asked with a smile.

The soldier lifted the red cloth from his plate.

Several gold bars and ingots sparkled in the dimly lit vault.

Lin Bei took the gold bars and ingots and poured them into the silver mountain at will.

"Hasn't the settler been found?"

Lin Bei walked out of the silver vault with Ah Yue and asked the soldiers.

The latter bowed his hand respectfully: "Report to the Overseers, they are already on the way, but they ran away when they saw the soldiers, so they delayed for some time." ”

"Where did the Bian Long people go?"

Lin Bei's eyes were resentful.

"Lord Bian tortured the former city lord of Linnan City in prison."

"Let people calculate the money in the treasury and arrange the recruitment meeting site."

Lin Bei ordered the two most important things to go down and go to the cell in Linnan City.

……

Prime Minister's house.

Li Ai looked at the letter in his hand, and there was not the slightest emotion on his face.

He originally thought that Lin Bei would die this time.

After all, the deputy general next to Lin Bei was his person, but he didn't expect that his own people would turn against the water and throw themselves at Lin Bei.

The original flawless plan directly became a stepping stone for the other party.

Linnan City is the most important ferry port in Jiangbei, and the Jiangbei Governor's Army naturally has heavy troops.

But under the charge of treason, where did the soldiers guarding Linnan City dare to resist, once they resisted, they became accomplices of traitors, which was a big crime to be punished by the nine clans.

In the dim candlelight, Li Ai's eyes were gloomy.

"Lin Bei, you are really a thorn in the flesh of this prime minister......"

Li Ai's voice of gritting teeth echoed in the empty room for a long time.

……

Headquarters of the Jiangbei Defenders.

"Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! ”

Huang Lang threw the wine jug in his hand and said angrily.

The flask smashed on the head of a soldier, and blood poured into it.

But he didn't dare to hum half a sentence, so he could only crawl on the ground.

"Thousands of elite soldiers, they can't even hold a city! A bunch of rice buckets! ”

"Linnan City will be given to that eunuch, will Linbei City north of Jiangbei be given to him in the future!"

Huang Lang's face turned red, not only because of the spirits, but also because of the anger.

But the city lord of Linnan City was charged with treason, and those soldiers guarding Linnan City dared to resist, wouldn't that be equivalent to a rebel, even if they were present, they wouldn't dare.

Such a thought flashed in the hearts of the soldiers present.

But they didn't dare to say half a word, for fear that Huang Lang would be angry with them.

……

When the atmosphere above the court and the headquarters of the Jiangbei garrison was extremely depressing.

There was indeed laughter and laughter in Linnan City.

When the news of the tax reduction and the recruitment meeting was known to almost all the people of Linnan City.

All the people spontaneously went to the City Lord's Mansion and quietly waited for Lin Bei to appear.
