King Lin Tian visited the village, saw the people living in hardship, looked solemn, heard that under the wind and rain, the earthen house collapsed, crushing an old man and young grandson, with tears in his eyes, he made a promise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the people heard this, they were glad, but when the news reached the ears of the rich and rich, they were astonished! If they were shrewd, they would have understood without much thought that the king of Yu was going to pay back the taxes, and he was going to do this!

It's a really good idea to borrow flowers and offer Buddha!

But...... The rich got together, exchanged news, and the bookkeepers calculated, and soon calculated the result, King Yu wanted to do this, according to the experience of the 30,000 people around Lingyunzhuang, they needed to pay ten years of tax arrears!!

Ten years of tax arrears, it's not that they can't get it, but no matter who it is, it's a big amount, and it hurts to think about it!

No one would consciously hand over so much money!

△

Life is rare for seventy years, and Hong Shikui is more than fifty years old. He traveled thousands of miles to visit Hou Lintian!

And when he arrived, the Marquis was no longer the Marquis!—but the King!

He didn't bring any good news, Qin Di was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and those main battle factions of the Song State did not agree to Lin Tian's conditions!

In fact, Lin Tian didn't expect them to agree!-Actually, even if they agreed, what would it be? Lin Tian would not sincerely cooperate with them at all: to uncover the rod and cause chaos in the Jin Kingdom, and then let the Song army pick up the cheap and take advantage of the fisherman's profit to come over to "recover the homeland"!

Lin Tian and Hong Shikui said this, just to stabilize him and value his reputation in Shilin!

Therefore, when Lin Tian learned the news, he was not disappointed, but let out a long sigh of relief.

Hong was surprised and asked, "Why is King Yu like this?"

Lin Tiandao: "'Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness', now the Jin Song Dynasty has withdrawn the army, the world is safe, if Mr. Hong brings 'good news', I am afraid that the world will have to rise again, at that time the people are born in troubled times, alas, I don't know how many people will be ruined!" he said, his expression showing pity.

Hong Shikui frowned slightly.

Two thoughts suddenly popped up in his heart, tangled! There were two thoughts facing each other and fighting each other!

One idea is that the Jin State has invaded the homeland of the Song State, and the Song State should fight back and restore the homeland - get back its own things!

Another thought is that what Lin Tian said is also reasonable, the war is together, the soldiers are in flames, and the people will inevitably suffer disasters!

[Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness] -- what is benevolence and what is righteousness?

Do you not forget your homeland that has been seized, or do you not bear the suffering of the people?

Lin Tian secretly observed the words and looks, saw the entanglement in his heart, sighed lightly, and said: "Mr. Hong, Lin has a sentence in his heart, don't vomit or be unhappy, and let me speak bluntly!"

He does not call himself "this king", but calls himself Lin, and calls the other party Mr., which is the respect of self-surrender.

Hong Shikui said: "King Yu, please speak!" He is very useful for Lin Tian's courtesy, or is this also a defect in the literati?

If there are defects, there will be loopholes, and if there are loopholes, people will take advantage of them!

However, in this world, how can anyone be perfect? Therefore, in this world, anyone will be calculated! Only who is more clever is compared!

Lin Tiandao: "Mr. Hong's heart is for the people, and Lin Mou's martial artist has also been taught, but why do you want to be a lobbyist and conspire to start a war? Under the war, the so-called troubled world is not as good as a dog's life, isn't it against Mr. Hong's original heart? Could it be said that the feelings revealed in Mr. Hong's past poems are all false feelings? Or is it that Mr. Hong has merit and can benefit from the war, so he cares about the life and death of the people in the world in vain?"

Lin Tian's demeanor was still respectful, but in his words, there was some reproach!

When Hong Shikui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he, who looked respectful, would say such a thing!

Lin Tiandao: "I heard that many people scolded Shi Miyuan for being a traitor and scolding him for taking profits from the people, but being in the officialdom, just like Lin Mou in the rivers and lakes, he can't help himself, who is not treacherous? As for taking profits from the people, it is better than making the people in troubled times!"

Hong Shikui heard that he actually defended Shi Miyuan, and his brows furrowed! But when he thought about it, what he said made sense!

Lin Tiandao: "Lin heard that there seems to be an old grudge between Mr. Hong and Shi Miyuan......

Hong Shikui's face changed in vain, and he reprimanded angrily: "What does King Yu mean by this?"

Lin Tian knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly apologized.

Hong was furious and said, "How could Hong take care of the common people in vain because of his personal gaps?"

Lin Tian kept apologizing in his mouth, but he laughed in his heart, and said secretly: "This is the way to provoke the general!" "Mr. Hong atoned for his sins, Lin was quick to speak at a certain time, and he was offended! It's just ...... It's just that Mr. Hong came to be a lobbyist, which inevitably made Lin think so!"

His words seem to be apologizing, but in fact, they are secretly witty: Although I apologize like you, in my heart, I just think that you are disregarding the common people out of selfishness!

To put it bluntly, it is inconsistent in heart, apologizing in the mouth, not apologizing in the heart, and not being convinced!

Hong Zhikui was even more annoyed, there was more shame in his expression in anger, and when he was embarrassed, he threw up his sleeves and left, Lin Tian was shocked, followed behind him, and sent him out of the village and into the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Hong Shikui's shame and anger gradually faded, and he sighed, saw the brick houses along the way, and remembered that Lin Tian had commissioned him to edit the "New Book of Songs...... , I couldn't help but secretly say: "Although this person is a martial artist, it is rare to have a benevolent heart!"

He stayed in Chencang County for three days, and for three days, he stayed at home, and Lin Tian didn't care!

Three days later, he took the manuscript and went to Lingyunzhuang to visit, but learned that Lin Tian had gone to Fengxiang Mansion and was no longer in the village!

Lin Tian visited more than 50,000 Jurchen civilians in Fengxiang Mansion and Pingliang Mansion! Their living conditions were not much different from those of Han civilians!

In the Jin Kingdom, although the Jurchen tribe is the ruling HX nation, this ruling power obviously does not belong to all the Jurchens, but only to the powerful among the Jurchens!

Poverty and hardship do not discriminate among races!

Under the storm, their earthen houses will also be destroyed, and in the eyes of God, it is obvious that they are not divided into races!

Therefore, in Lin Tian's eyes, there is no distinction between Han and Jurchen, what he cares about is not race, but ...... Whether your heart is for me, whether you are willing to work for me!

"Listen to me, work hard for me, you are my people!

But why should others listen to you, why should they work hard for you?

The answer is simple: interests!!

Those who sell umbrellas want it to rain, those who work as doctors want people to get sick, and those who sell coffins want more people to die!

In whatever way people make a profit, they will maintain this is the way they make a profit!

It's the same with people, whoever makes people profitable will support him!

Therefore, Lin Tian looked at the dilapidated loess houses of the poor Jurchen people with a solemn expression, listened to their complaints, took their hands, and made a promise to take them to live in a brick house......

In the Fengxiang army, there are more than 10,000 soldiers who are Jurchens, and they are all from these families!

To make these families profitable is to make those more than 10,000 Jurchen soldiers profitable!

Whoever makes them profitable, they support them, and whoever hinders them is their enemy!!

And when dealing with the enemy, you can't be soft!!

Lin Tian also visited the poor people in other places.

The news went viral, people were talking about it after tea and dinner, and the whole Fengxiang Road was shrouded in a feverish enthusiasm for living in a brick house!

In this enthusiasm, the autumn harvest began. After the autumn harvest, there is also autumn planting, and after autumn planting, it is the time for farming!

The weather is hot, the people's hearts are also hot, and in the frenzied autumn harvest, Lin Tian returned to Lingyunzhuang!

Hong Zhikui received the news and immediately posted a visit, he also heard the news, and his heart was full of disbelief, feeling that Lin Tian, a young man, although he was the heart of the people, was undoubted, but he was so happy and unrealistic, he thought he needed to remind!

What a great achievement? Unrealistic?

There is also this kind of voice among the people of Fengxiang Road, but this voice is very small, it is said by the rich people who have no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation, because most people want to live in a brick house, their desire is too strong, and even if it is a dream, they are willing to get lost in it!

Is this also a shortcoming of human beings?

Lin Tian looked at the manuscript of the new poem brought by Hong Shikui, nodded and praised him again and again, but turned a deaf ear to his reminder!

Lin Tiandao: "Mr. Hong, what are your suggestions for Lin and the publication of this new poetry?"

Seeing that he didn't listen to his reminder, Hong Shikui sighed and said secretly: "Young man, it's a good thing to suffer a little setback!" He shook his head secretly, and said in his heart: "How easy is it for the people of two prefectures and eleven counties to live in brick houses all the way?"

"These one hundred and eight poems, does King Yu have any objections?"

Lin Tian shook his head and said, "Naturally not!"

Hong Zhikui said: "If you want to publish it, there is still a lack of preface and preface. ”

Lin Tian said with a smile: "This matter is easy, I also have celebrities on Fengxiang Road!"

The local tyrants of Fengxiang Road seem to be roasted on the fire! They are shrewd and know that King Yu is about to make a move!

And the heart of the king and the people are all in their hands!

If they don't pay the ten years of tax arrears, they will hinder the profits of the families of the 20,000 Fengxiang soldiers, and they will hinder the profits of the hundreds of thousands of people...... Their sworn enemy!

Finally, just as they were being roasted, an official document was delivered to their house! And the content of the official document is to inform you that it is time to pay the taxes you owe! If you don't, you will be punished!

This official document is an ultimatum!

For a while, although the local tyrants were in the autumn when the heat had not subsided, they were trembling, like a cold winter!

You can't escape from it, the family business is all local, and the household registration system is not to be talked about!

Let's pay the tax arrears, ten years, this is a big bloodletting, the flesh hurts!!

The local tyrants cherish their money as much as their lives, how can they cut their own flesh because of an official document?

However, at this moment, the Fucheng family of Fengxiang Mansion actually paid ten years of tax arrears, and then the Cheng family of Pingliang Mansion also paid it; one after another, the Cheng family of various counties also made up for it; and then the local tyrant family who had a seat in the yamen was handed over like snowflakes.

In the officialdom, they should understand the horror of power better than others, and they are more shrewd!
