Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 183 Strange Taxation
Chapter 184 Strange Taxation
Cao Chong didn't go to the county government office today, but slept with Diao Chan in his arms until the sun was three poles before getting up!

He wanted to sleep a little longer at first, but yesterday his legs were in burning pain and he didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night.

It's a pity that the servant girl told me that if someone asked to see him, he still came from Xudu.

Cao Chong thought that Lao Cao had sent someone here for something!
In the end, the person who came was not sent by Lao Cao, and Cao Chong didn't know him either.

"Liu Ba met the young master! Please forgive me for disturbing you!"

The visitor was about 40 to [-] years old, well-dressed and courteous, and took the initiative to salute when they met.

"Why are you looking for this junior?" Cao Chong hastily returned the salute.

"Liu Ba? I seem to have heard of it, and it seems that he is also a celebrity from the Three Kingdoms..." Cao Chong asked, thinking carefully.

"I returned to Xudu from Jingnan a few days ago, and I was very interested in seeing the bank opened by the young master in Xudu! I have some questions, so I came here to ask the young master for advice!" Liu Ba seemed to respect Cao Chong very much.

Cao Chong suddenly remembered who this Liu Ba was!

motherfucker!

Great talent!
The successor of Fa-rectification in history!

"Are you Mr. Liu Zichu from Fuyang?" Cao Chong asked in surprise.

"Young master knows Liu?" Liu Ba asked.

"I heard from my father that my father once praised Mr.'s talent, and felt very sorry for Mr.'s experience!" Cao Chong was talking nonsense.

But Liu Ba was very moved when he heard what Cao Chong said!

"Thanks for Prime Minister Cao's thoughts, but it's a pity that Mr. Liu has not made any achievements in this trip, so he is really ashamed to see the Prime Minister!" Liu Ba expressed gratitude.

This Liu Ba is indeed Lao Cao's subordinate, and it hasn't been long since he defected to Lao Cao.
Last year when Lao Cao went to the south of the Yangtze River in high spirits, after Liu Cong surrendered, most of the people in the Jingzhou area defected to Liu Bei, but this Mr. Liu Ba went north to join Lao Cao alone.

Lao Cao was very high-spirited at the time, and he was very happy when he saw Liu Ba come to join him. He immediately gave Liu Ba a post in the prime minister's mansion, and then he went to Jingnan to recruit Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling counties.

Liu Ba went south happily in this way, and said in his heart: "With my reputation and connections in Jingxiang, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to recruit these three counties? Then the credit will be great!"

Who would have expected that when Liu Ba left Cao Jun's camp earlier, Lao Cao would be burned to the ground by the Sun Liu coalition army behind him!
When Liu Ba came to Jingnan, Lao Cao had already fled north in a hurry. Liu Da Er sent Zhao Yun to take over the three counties of Jingnan. What was even more unfortunate was that Zhuge Liang knew Liu Ba's name and looked for him everywhere.

Liu Ba couldn't stay in Jingnan, and wanted to go back to Lao Cao, but couldn't. The big-eared thief was looking for him everywhere in the north!I had no choice but to grit my teeth and continue running south!

According to another history of time and space, Liu Ba ran all the way to Jiaozhou, and then fell out with Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhou, and then went to Yizhou to join Liu Zhang, and happened to meet Liu Daer and entered Yizhou, and finally fell into Liu Daer's hands .At that time, Liu Ba probably wanted to cry: Why did I go around in a big circle!If I had known earlier, I would have taken refuge with Liu Daer directly in Jingzhou.

Because of Cao Chong's appearance, Liu Da'er's strength was greatly weakened, and his control over Jing Nan was also weakened to the extreme, Liu Ba took advantage of the chaos and ran back.

Cao Chong was very happy when he saw this, and hurriedly asked someone to prepare a banquet, and he wanted to treat Liu Ba well.

Be sure to keep this mighty man!
Liu Ba was able to take over Fazheng's position after his death. He was not capable, and more importantly, Liu Ba was an extremely rare economist in the Three Kingdoms period!

Not to mention that Cao Chong hosted a banquet for Liu Ba at home, Zhao Yun was worrying about a large room of pavilion chiefs and village chiefs in the county government office.

According to Cao Chong's arrangement yesterday, Zhao Yun was in charge of scaring the pavilion chiefs and village chiefs who came to the county government today to make them pay taxes according to the amount last year.

When all the pavilion chiefs and village chiefs from the countryside arrived, Zhao Yun took the list Wen Jiao gave him to meet and scare them.

Zhao Yun thought he didn't need much, as long as they paid this year's autumn tax according to last year's amount, there was no need to frighten these people by themselves.

As a result, after reading the list given to them by Zhao Yun, these pavilion chiefs and village chiefs knelt down all over the room, begging the general with snot and tears to give them a way to survive, and Zhao Yun was stunned at that time.

"Miss Wenjiao, is the account book you gave me really okay? Those pavilion chiefs and village chiefs were kneeling and begging for mercy when they heard that they would have to pay so much taxes. Doesn't it seem like they're pretending?" Zhao Yun stood Looking outside the door, a room full of people crying inside the house said.

"I calculated it. If the young master brought back the population and the number of acres of fields yesterday, it is really impossible for them to charge so much tax!" Wen Jiao shook her head and said.

After Wenjiao finished speaking, she took out the account book and looked at it carefully: "But there is a receipt from Henan Yin on it, so the amount can't be wrong! It can't be that Henan Yin and the county magistrate cheated on this account. If that is the case, it will be a loss But let them make up for themselves!"

"Then what should we do now?" Zhao Yun asked.

There is no need to scare people, the tax payment form has almost scared people to their knees.

"I have sent someone to Henan Yinna to check, either there is something wrong with the bill, or these people are acting."

Wen Jiao frowned and looked at the roomful of people still kneeling in the room, didn't she seem to be pretending?

"How long will it take to get confirmation from Henan Yinna?"

"I won't be back until tomorrow at least." Wen Jiao said with a headache.

"Then what about these people? We can't let them kneel like this all the time, maybe they won't dare to get up if they are not allowed to pay less tax!"

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he sighed and said: "Hey, the young master is not here today, and Staff Officer Pang is not here. The county government is the two of us's main business, and there is no one to discuss it!"

"I can only appease them first." Wen Jiao said: "Tell them that the tax payment form was given by Henan Yin. It may be wrong. The county government has sent someone to Henan Yin to check it."

"Have someone prepare some food and water for them, let them wait in the county government office for a day. We will make a decision when the young master arrives tomorrow, and Henan Yin's reply should arrive by then." Wen Jiao arranged.

"That's the only way to go!" Zhao Yun went to appease everyone, arranging meals without saying anything.

Wen Jiao hurried back to the Yamen to report the situation to Cao Chong, but was told by Diao Chan that Cao Chong was drunk!

Cao Chong was indeed drunk, and he really wanted to treat Liu Ba well, so that he could find a way to keep Liu Ba.

Liu Ba was also very excited. He thought that what Cao Chong said was true, and that Lao Cao really missed him!

Thinking that I haven't achieved an inch of merit, and I have to worry about the prime minister, and I have to be treated by the young master today, the pain I have suffered these days is worth it!Then drink to your heart's content!

In the end, both of them drank and got down!
When Cao Chong woke up the next day, he heard that there was still such a thing?
At this time, Henan Yin's reply was sent, and the bill was correct!The two counties did pay so much tax to Henan Yin last year and the year before last, and the storage bills are clearly remembered!
Cao Chong rubbed his head and said, "That's weird! Could it be that the former county magistrate paid his own money to contribute to the country without compensation? Or is he the kind who does good deeds without leaving a name?"
