"Thirty percent of the grain tax reduction this autumn?"

Governor Yang's actions were very fast, and he posted the notice almost on the same day, and beat the gongs and drums to publicize it, and the rest of the fast horses sent the news to the various towns below as quickly as possible, and he also mentioned the people below, as for those county orders to find death, he couldn't control it.

The person who posted the notice read the notice aloud, and the people of the city immediately commented, "Is this true?" ”

"The notices have been posted, and there can still be fakes, saying that it means the prince."

"Ouch, there are no natural disasters and no happy events, why is the grain tax reduced?"

"Hey, the new official took office with three fires to win over the people, who knows if they will come back from other places to make up for it, and the officials are the same."

"What are you thinking, isn't that a good thing? That's thirty percent, do you know how much food there is, standing and talking doesn't hurt my back, I wish the prince would come to woo me every day. ”

Many people rushed to tell each other, and those peasants who entered the city were happy when they got the news, that was thirty percent of the grain, even if it was taken away by the grain collector, it was less than last year's delivery, right?

It's a great event.

The news spread like a wind, Zhang Yuanwai frowned, and the land under his name was naturally among the reduced by 30%, but he always felt that something bad was going to happen in his heart.

"Zhang Yuanwai."

At this time, the people from the government came, and the person who came was the master of Governor Yang's mansion, who could be regarded as a close person, Zhang Yuanwai got up, "Why is Master Qian here?" ”

"Let's talk to the staff."

Master Qian stood still, Zhang Yuanwai asked the people who were waiting to leave, and Master Qian said that the government wanted to recover the grain tax owed by the Zhang family, "This is an order from the palace, requiring all the white slips to be made up within three months, and Governor Yang is not willing to embarrass everyone, but it is also difficult for him, there is a big mountain above." ”

"Pay back the food tax?"

Zhang Yuanwai was very surprised, although the Zhang family only had to pay grain tax on part of the land, but for many years it had been paying half and half owed, and only the previous prefect had not wanted to collect it for so many years, and there was no problem in addition to this.

"How did you come up with this?"

Master Qian shook his head helplessly, "No one knows what is going on, and the adults just act according to the orders from above." ”

As he spoke, he brought the account books and the white slips signed by the Zhang family over the years, and calculated them for Zhang Waiyuan on the spot, "You have to pay a total of 67,000 catties of grain, can you make up for it within three days?" ”

"Three days?"

Don't the Zhang family have these tens of thousands of catties of grain?

But why should he pay it?

"You know, our Zhang family doesn't have any grain at all, where can we get so much food in just three days? Didn't you say three months? ”

Master Qian smiled lightly, "I said three months, but adults can't really wait until the last day of three months to make a mission, isn't it, how can I complete this errand in a hurry, I brought it, and I hope that Zhang Yuanwai will send the grain to the yamen and leave." ”

As soon as Master Qian left, Zhang Yuanwai sat on the chair with a gloomy face, and soon the west seat of the Zhang family arrived, and he frowned lightly when he learned about this, "I'm afraid that this is the first step, if you refuse to make up the payment, the yamen will naturally have a reason to attack you, although the Zhang family and the Yang prefect are also considered in-laws, but it matters where the in-laws have a future." “

"If it is handed over, the palace is only afraid that there is another step, the palace has so far made a big fanfare to recruit people, there are many types, even the bridge and road repair have to be made, the ambition is great, although the prince is not in the city, but the princess and the palace have to use it, the head of the noble family can not be taken lightly, those women who have been carefully raised since childhood have advanced and retreated with their husbands at critical moments, and even have the ability to support the door alone, this princess is menacing."

Zhang Yuanwai's eyes showed a ruthless look, and he already had a way to deal with it in his heart, and it couldn't be simpler to ruin a woman.

As for paying the food tax, it depends on whether she has the ability to do so.

Master Qian took the flowers of Yang Zhifu to those people in Yongcheng who needed to pay taxes, and none of them went with food in the past three days, and the flower steward put pressure every day, and Yang Zhifu couldn't resist the pressure and decided to officially let the officials come to the door, and escorted those people to the yamen for questioning.

In the palace at this moment, Yan Mu'an saw Ning Suo in the study, Yan Mu'an did not pursue the fact that the news sent by Ning Suo was not allowed before, and Ning Suo's arrival in Yongcheng was not long, and it was already very good to be able to spread out the stall and get some news.

"How's the investigation in Puji Temple?"

Ning Suo said: "More than eighty percent of the monks in Puji Temple are not true monks, those people are dignified during the day, hide at night to eat meat and drink wine, and explain Buddhism to those pilgrims are a few monks who come from outside." ”

"At present, I haven't found out that there is food hidden in Puji Temple, but there is definitely one in it, our people have been staring at it for a long time, and the monks inside buy vegetables and oil but only do not buy food, and the daily consumption is still large, and it can be found in some days."

Yan Mu'an didn't give him more time, she is now officially attacking those gentry and local tyrants in the city, especially the Zhang family, who must let Puji Temple do something if she is in a hurry, who dares not to believe what the Buddha said?

"I want you to take the Puji Temple within two days and control the people inside, but you can't make a noise, you must let the news of the Zhang family pass it in, and you have to implement it."

He explained his plan to Ning Suohe, and finally said: "The prince has things that must be done, and these things in the city can only be done by me, I control the overall situation on the bright side, and those things outside will be handed over to you." ”

Ning Suo bowed down and clenched his fists, "His subordinates will live up to the princess's trust." ”

Yan Mu'an pointed to the box on the table, "This is for you, take it." ”

The people in the house often give out benefits, but Ning Suo and the others have nothing, and what they have at present is all earned by themselves, although there is no shortage of silver, Yan Mu'an still gave them a copy, you must know that this is her descendant.

"The people in the house have asked the doctor to ask for a detailed consultation before, and it is inconvenient for you to come back outside, these days I want to fight and kill, and I don't know if you are injured, I went back and asked the husband to take a good look, the one who should be conditioned should be conditioned, don't be afraid to spend money, you know that I am very rich."

"The money you earned is not busy sending it to me, and what I gave you before will be done, and it will be spent."

Ning Suo stepped forward and picked up the box, and didn't look at what was inside, but just bowed down and replied, "Thank you for the princess's compassion, everything the princess explained is in progress, if the princess has nothing to do, her subordinates will go and get busy first." ”

"Go ahead."

Ning Suo turned around and left, and soon disappeared into the palace, Yan Mu'an expressed regret, he was tall, handsome, and in good shape, his kung fu was still very strong, and he was loyal, it was really good-looking. (End of chapter)
