Chapter 370 Liquidation of Field Acres
On the peaceful land of Qilu, there are groups of neat red steel torrents. Some of them go to the guards, and some go to checkpoints in various places. There was a slight disturbance, these two caravan merchant ships at the bottom of taxation had countless ways to evade taxes, and they didn't care who was the owner of this piece of land.

"Let's compromise. Liu Zeqing is dead. Can't you see the situation clearly? The tax collected is not much, so why go against this butcher?" Wang Yan said with some trembling. Liu Zeqing's 4-strong army was disbanded when he said it was not. No, [-] people went directly north. He was completely panicked and no longer dared to fight against Xiaochuan. At this time, he discovered that the other party did not care about the criticism of the court at all. Even if the nobles in the world shouted and beat him, he would not mind at all. What should be done Why? This is a man who is beyond the normal routine of Daming.

"No, the old man's family business is all bought by the children of the family. Every penny is stained with the sweat of the children of the Zou family. How can it be handed over like this?" Zou Yuan said, his tone was urgent, and his face was full of anger. He would rather give money to Zheng Zhilong as a protection fee than collect taxes, saying: "Nowhere in Ming Dynasty, why should Shandong change?"

"The difference is that there is no tax collection," Wang Yan said. The embarrassing tone is not that there is no tax collection, but that there is no business tax at all. Merchants and scholars from all over the country have colluded with each other, and various methods of tax evasion and tax avoidance are eye-opening. There is no way for people to collect commercial taxes.

"That's right, Mr. Zou is right. These are the hard-earned money of our family's children. How can we hand it in like this?" A group of businessmen echoed. The children of their family are all officials in Shandong, so they were very angry when they said that Wang Yan Embarrassed, he said: "Everyone has forgotten the head of Liu Zeqing in Xishi. This Qin Xiaochuan is unreasonable at all. It's better not to fight against this lunatic."

"Hmph, my Zou family gives Zheng Zhilong no less than 1 taels of silver every year, and I don't believe that the Zheng family doesn't care about this kid." Zou Yuan said, "I'll just write to Zheng Zhilong. Can this kid be better than Zheng Zhilong?" Said angrily.

"Yes, Mr. Zou is right, we can find Mr. Zheng Zhilong and Mr. Zheng!" Everyone echoed, and they all realized that, yes, we do not know how much money we give him every year for doing business at sea. If he doesn't care, it will be a waste Did you get your own signboard?

"Everyone, you're crazy." Wang Yan shook his head and sighed, "That's the general soldier of Fujian. How powerful is his navy? The [-] troops under Qin Xiaochuan's command have experienced hundreds of battles. Zheng Zhilong is a group of water thieves."

"Hmph, who said you can't beat this little Qingzhou army with me as the internal response, and how can you beat this little Qingzhou army in the name of eliminating rebellion?" Zou Yuan smiled and said: "Then Zheng Zhilong has 30 troops under his command, all of them are The elite who have gone through hundreds of battles, many of them are big water thieves, and some of their firearms come directly from Hongyi, so they can’t defeat the little Qingzhou army.” He laughed and said, obviously he knew that so many people must have a lot of connections with the Zheng family,

"Yes, my lord, then Qin Xiaochuan persecuted us in such a way first, so don't blame us for being unkind, go to Mr. Zheng's benevolent teacher to eliminate this rebellion, so that we can return my Daming, and return my Shandong to a bright future." Everyone in the room was shocked Said.

"That's a pirate!" Wang Yan shook his head and sighed, his tone was full of helplessness or anger. They actually wanted to go to Zheng Zhilong to give him a head. The opponent was named Fujian General Soldier, but everyone knew that he was a pirate, and he was also helpless. Although I feel helpless in my heart, whoever makes me a part of this party.

"At that time, if Lord Zheng can eliminate Qin Xiaochuan, how will everyone distribute his Qingzhou, as well as the port?" Zou Yuan said, and everyone immediately looked over greedily.

"Are you so sure that Zheng Zhilong will leave after helping you eliminate Qin Xiaochuan?" Wang Yan said. "How do you know it's not driving tigers and devouring wolves?"

"Hmph, his interests are in the sea, in Taiwan, in Fujian, Shandong is an enclave for him!" Zou Yuan said again: "If Mr. Wang thinks it is dangerous, you don't have to come with us, but you have to think about it, your The position of magistrate is achieved by all of us in the whole party for you!"

Wang Yan sighed helplessly, with an involuntary feeling that he realized that although he was the magistrate of Shandong, he was a fake magistrate, and the group of veterans of the Qi Party and merchants from all over the country in front of him were the real magistrates.

*********************************
A guard station in Jining Prefecture, Shandong Province in Lingshanwei is far away from Qingzhou, so all the sights here are deserted fields. The cold wind blowing in November drove the yellow sand all over the place to cover the sky, and neat teams entered. After entering the fortress, [-] Qi's army and [-] Han Gang's own soldiers entered here. He looked at the deserted fields around him, but suddenly there was a fertile field in the distance. He said with great ambition in his heart: "I will definitely We will build Lingshan Guard just like Qingzhou Guard.”

He looked back at a group of people dressed as scribes, but the five praises were all a group of scholars, which made him very annoying. These were the people that the young master asked him to take with him, and they were all educated by the young master, but he was very disgusted. Headache, only Wang Youcai didn't bring a picture of praise, which made everyone very envious.

"When the general enters Lingshanwei, you must remember that the first thing to do is to clear the fields!" said a Zanhua beside him. His face was dark and rough, and he looked like he had been exercising regularly, but at the same time he carried a kind of literati. The elegant temperament looks like a different kind of conflict.

"Understood," Han Gang said, and walked inside a little impatiently.

When he walked to the city gate, no one greeted him, and even the gate was closed tightly to prevent him from entering, but Han Gang said angrily: "Siege the city!" He ignored Zan Hua's objection, but the army just raised the bird gun Neizhong raised the white flag to surrender.

A group of people approached the city, but inside were the generals of the guards who were clamoring, and a group of civil servants. They began to talk about who was covering them in the court, but Han Gang watched them wave their hands and waved the crowd. Take the officer away.

After liquidating the fields and chasing down their tax evasion items, a group of officers who were taken away screamed loudly, looking unbelievable. At night, Lingshan Guard was surrounded by iron armor hunting down tax evading officers and landlords, and there were screams and screams everywhere. .

There are guards like Lingshan Guards everywhere in Shandong, and a group of landlords who have become officers of the guards are wailing.Han Gang stood indifferently on the main seat, and praised the painting on the side: "This time, a total of 520 taels of silver in arrears of various taxes has been recovered, and each family has owed [-] shi in grain. A total of [-] shi in grain has been returned. "

"So when will you return the food in arrears to the government?" Han Gang sat in the chief seat and said, he was a little angry. He wanted to flex his muscles at first, but found that in the fortress, except for the training of troops, everything else was done by the Zanhua team .It made him feel a little disillusioned, and he took his anger out on this group of family children.
