Sun Ce watched the pair walk away, and then turned around: "Niangniang, you should go back, the time when the ship's hull is hidden can't be too long." ”

His only mission granted by His Majesty was to protect Emperor Wa's safety, and he was always ready to wait for Emperor Wa's orders.

Nuwa glanced at the aura inside the statue, sighed, and left the town and returned to the ship.

At the sound of an order, thousands of people entered the ship, and just when the transport ship gradually became invisible, and the cargo was only half moved, someone suddenly reported it.

Han Ziwei's face immediately changed, and he ordered: "Quickly sweep away the traces, and cover the forest with straw before you have time to carry it." ”

After a while, a team of officials came, beating gongs and drums, poking at the gate of the town and shouting: "Old Han Town, you should pay taxes!"

"It's tax again? Didn't you pay it once at the beginning of spring, and it's not yet the autumn harvest!" someone asked.

The tax collector kept a straight face, this is also because he has not seen the camp behind the town, otherwise he may not know what will happen.

"This is a new tax to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the big clans in this county have not spoken, what, do you have any opinions?" The tax collector glanced at Han Ziwei with a dark face, looking like he would turn his face and take people if he didn't pay.

I don't believe that this tax collector has such a face in every big household!

Han Ziwei secretly scolded this kind of pertinence everywhere, kept in mind His Majesty's instructions, and said with a smile: "Of course you have to pay, how much is it this time?"

The tax collector glanced at the town, swept his eyes over some girls who were shopping together, and then looked at the woman with a good temperament and good appearance behind Han Ziwei, flashed a trace of greed, and made a look at the tax collector under him.

The tax collector knew that this was going to make things difficult, and said he: "I heard that you have bought another batch of girls, and you are really rich, so you will pay ten catties of grain per family......

"Can't you use money, there is really no surplus food in the town, if the price of grain is the same as last time, we are willing to pay more......" Han Ziwei smiled, stuffed this guy with silver, and whispered: "This one is for you and all the officials to divide the points, and the other is for your boss, so it's convenient." ”

The tax collector weighed his sleeve and felt satisfied, and exchanged his head with the tax collector for a while, and when he looked back, his smile was much more genuine: "It's okay, but the price of grain has risen recently, and it has to rise by one percent." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say......"

Even coaxed and sent away these peeling ghosts, Han Ziwei's face changed to flattery, and his eyes became cold: "The situation of this tax collector is not right......

"Gongsun Ruo, you bring someone over to monitor his whereabouts, observe those families who are in contact with him, no matter which black hand is behind it, in half a month, in the name of the bandits, he will be wiped out, and he can't be delayed until the next time to collect taxes. ”

A real person responded, and took three magicians to the tax collection team far away, Han Ziwei paced back and forth, gave his junior sister a reassuring look, and called another real person: "Xu Yan, you can't have any accidents with the past." ”

"Now there are more women in the town, which is different from the past, and when outsiders come in the future, the magician should notify them in time, and all the women should not go out...... It's not that you are not allowed to show your head, but it is just to reduce trouble, and it is normal when there are no outsiders. ”

The men and women nearby looked at each other, and they had no opinion, it was estimated that there was a big clan that couldn't help but make a move, but they were not a new family in the countryside who let the fish and meat, but an organization with the goal of seizing power, and they were not afraid to use force to physically eliminate the germ of hostility.

Or before today, there was still a conservative mind to avoid, but with the arrival of His Majesty Wa and the instructions of His Majesty Wu, the future was swept away.

The world is still this world, but everyone has a clear goal in mind, and there is no need to hesitate.

Every reincarnated person has died once, and there is no luck in the theory of the evolution of the world in his heart, knowing that now is the race against time, and in the remaining ninety-eight years, he can run as far as he can.

In these moods, the slightest trace of white qi gathered in the ancestral hall, and the carp swallowed the luck, and the scales continued to increase and deepen.

............

Time flies, only two months have passed on the ground, and twenty years have passed since the soil was laid.

The name of this old Han town in Binzhou has not changed, but it is no longer a small town in the past, but a small town.

In the past 20 years, several big families who once wanted to reach out here have let the "bandits" be wiped out, and even several county commanders have been affected by bad reviews and demoted officials, making the past fat shortage become a bad job that everyone avoids, but a new county commander who has just been an official in another state has asked to be transferred over.

The county commander was ridiculed by his colleagues at first, thinking that this outsider didn't understand the inside story and entered the pit, but after he arrived, he didn't go on a business trip for three terms, which immediately made the joke regret it.

No one thought that this county order was an excellent scholar and an official among the Han people, and he came to protect the safety of this place - because the foundation of the Han people is here.

After the transfer, the Han people were recommended to work here, and the county gradually came under the control of the Han people.

Then, it infiltrated the surrounding counties.

Although the Hunan Dynasty nominally unified the world, many remote areas and places near mountainous areas in the agricultural society were not well controlled, and even primitive forest areas were simply plain.

As early as 20 years ago, the Han people in various states decided to form an organization and divide it into several blocks.

While the Han Chinese settlements in each block flourished, they maintained close ties and supported each other in private, and some even reached into the imperial court officialdom to help together.

And on the surface, they don't know each other, and even fight with each other, and they don't put the handle in the hands of outsiders.

But it soon became clear that the limitations of the Han people in the officialdom were that no matter how outstanding the civil officials of the Han Dynasty were, they could only do it at the county level here.

The counties here are all adjutants of the county type, and the number is very few, and even the county magistrates are only six or seven, and most of them can only be county-level adjutants -- this is exactly the amount that can be achieved by accumulating merit in affairs, and to go up to the county, you also have to provide the support of literary talents and family backgrounds, and at the county level, it depends on luck.

As we all know, the luck of the Han people in this world is very bad, and now everyone knows that the development of the system has hit the ceiling, and if you want to cross the prefecture and county, you don't have to think about it, you can only count on rebellion.

Fortunately, the national field system expanded rapidly, and the situation gradually changed, and as the new generation of Han people multiplied and grew, the brewing dragon energy gradually increased.

"Binzhou, Yunzhou, Cizhou, faintly appear kingly!"

This was finally discovered by the Tuxiang Dynasty, although it only thought that this was a new dragon born naturally because the world was about to collapse.

Or the instinct of the dynasty, the emperor heard the music, and immediately ordered the relevant departments to go to the local secret investigation and surveillance -- in the eyes of the bigwigs of the dynasty, even if it was an uprising of the displaced people, it was only a preliminary omen, and at most it was launched in a hurry, and it could be extinguished and slowly changed, or there were still fifty or sixty years to live, and it was not for them to think about it in the future.

But in such an atmosphere, more than a dozen urgent reports were sent from various states to the capital Xiangyin, so that an organization was gradually exposed in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

At the small court meeting, a middle-aged man in a crown dress threw these dozen secret reports in front of the prime minister, and his face turned pale: "Who can tell me what is going on with this organization that claims to be the Fuhan Society?"

"When did these rebels control one-tenth of the commerce in the entire south, and they also had their own guards, and I don't even know when I am the emperor?"

"There is not a word in the local area, is it a bribe that has bought you all one by one!"

"Your Majesty is angry, and the minister will immediately find out about this private association!" the gray-haired prime minister bowed down and said, secretly screaming bad luck, he was about to retire and bumped into this matter, and it is certain that his reputation will be damaged in the history of the future in the future.

"What kind of private association! These are unruly traitors! They are going to rebel! Within a month, I will know all the reasons for this traitor, and then I will ......"

The emperor clenched his hand into a fist and smashed it on several cases: "Cut off this Fu Han Society for me! The place is rotten, right? Then mobilize the imperial army to conquer!"

This person has been on the throne for fifteen years since the middle-aged emperor ascended the throne, and there is basically no major event except for the usual disaster relief and water control, but the more this is the case, the more power he accumulates, and once he becomes angry, the more shocking it is, and no one dares to refute it.

The Minister of Household Affairs was involved in affairs, so he had to be cautiously reminded: "This ...... I'm afraid the treasury won't be able to support ......"

"Raid the house! Plunder all the property of the Fu Han Society, all men will be reduced to slaves, and all women will be reduced to prostitution! Let the people of the world know that the iron fist of our court has not yet slackened!"

The emperor glanced at the minister and sneered: "Don't think that I am a faint king, the world has been in drought and drought for a long time, and the landlords of various families are gathering strange goods, and the people are not happy...... If you don't say this, I won't know?"

Hearing these heart-wrenching words, the important ministers in the hall were sweating down and did not dare to speak.

"Look at this situation, the secret society can't be seen under the nose, if it weren't for the king's qi, I gradually found that the luck of this association was brewing, and I would still hide it in this dark drum!"

"If I continue, I will sleep in the palace, and I don't know when the soldiers will come to the city. ”

"Now the slightest hesitation in this situation is overturning, if I don't want the country to be ruined in my hands, I would rather kill a thousand wrong, than let go of a ......" The emperor roared angrily and swept away the proclamation on the copy: "This southern state, as long as there is a loyal official who investigates and reports it, it will not be the current situation!"

"It's either incompetence or bullying - all of them will be judged by me, and no one will be spared!"

Listening to this crazy roar, the officials of several states were punished at once, and the ministers looked at each other, feeling that the emperor was angry, and did not dare to speak about it, nor did he dare to respond to the edict.

"I'm not just angry!" Seeing this, the emperor knew what his courtiers were thinking, and then slowed down and said: "The Fuhan Society has shocked me, and it has been entangled in several states, and there are thousands of trading companies and shops—this is an unforeseen disaster. ”

But when I think about it, the court does things and rectifies the rule of officials, and what is lacking is food and money, which is different from the small people's uprising, which is that the people are not able to make a living, and they have no food to eat when they are hungry -- the court suppresses it, and it has to be appeased, and the treasury is unbearable. ”

"But this Fu Han Society has a huge amount of money. The emperor smiled faintly: "If you destroy it, you can get at least millions of taels of silver, and with it, many things in the court can be done." ”

The ministers are almost extremely popular ministers here, and after listening to it, they still have opinions, and they knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise in this word, and you will be able to sweep away the rebels and prosper the Xiang Dynasty!"

The emperor was noncommittal, waved his hand and asked everyone to go down to investigate, and called four or five generals into the palace, and asked: "How many troops can be mobilized near Gyeonggi now?"

"The forbidden army is 100,000, and there should be 400,000 soldiers from the neighboring five states, if you don't count ......" The general stopped and didn't dare to go on.

"Don't count the vacancies, right?" the emperor glanced at a few generals, and his heart was slightly cold: "I don't care about you about eating empty salaries and drinking soldiers' blood, but at this time, there must be available soldiers, go back and rectify the inventory and report to me...... Remember, it's a secret report. ”

"Yes...... The ministers retired. Several generals hurriedly got up and took their leave.

The hall was empty again, and the emperor was silent for a while, turning his head to look at the portrait of Taizu hanging on the wall, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes: "Something is wrong...... In the last seven years of the reign of the first emperor, I ascended the throne for fifteen years, and in the last twenty-two years of the national sacrifice, there has been no feedback from the Heavenly Ancestor.

"But this change in destiny must not be talked to anyone...... And what Taizu said is so ridiculous, we are not alive, and even this world is just an evolution?"

With a sigh, the middle-aged emperor's expression became firm, and he turned around and left the palace handed down by his ancestors, and the autumn breeze passed through the courtyard and the curtains, revealing the twilight.
