I have attribute points in Three Kingdoms

Chapter 39 The Last Prosperity
The sun was shining brightly, just before noon.

Chen Lei and others finally waited for Cao Cao.

"Brother Cao, what are you going to do in front of the palace?" Chen Lei questioned, he had been in Luoyang for more than a month, and it was the first time that the emperor summoned civil and military officials to meet in front of the palace.

Chen Lei complained in his heart, it has been too long for this world to hold a forward meeting. . .

According to the following dynasties, if there is no court meeting for so long, the following group of civil servants will jump up.

Cao Cao's face was resentful, "These ten permanent servants really only know how to make money, they really don't do anything, they don't do anything."

Chen Lei asked, "What's wrong?"

Cao Cao closed his eyes in pain, and it took him a long time to open them.

Liu Hong's indifferent expression in front of the palace made him feel confused for the first time. What was his belief during this period?
Cao Cao said in a hoarse voice, "Not only the newly appointed county magistrates have to pay him, but Shi Changshi proposed in front of the palace just now that the officials who have not paid the money before must also make up the money. Even the county magistrates Xiaolian and Maocai will all have to pay."

"And...the people's taxes will be increased by [-]%."

"The emperor agrees?" Yang Song asked in horror.

This move is no less than digging up the foundation of a powerful man. What on earth is Liu Hong thinking?

"I agree!" Cao Cao pushed the mahjong on the table aside irritably, "And only two weeks are given, and those who don't have money will get out of their positions."

"!!!" Yang Song was shocked by the news and took three steps back.

"Impossible!" Even Chen Lei retorted.

This world really has the concept of dragon energy. In order to prevent Wang Mang's rebellion, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu had extracted the entire spinal cord of the dragon.

Now, from generation to generation, the dragon has been plagued by all kinds of diseases like a human being. Even if Liu Hong is fatuous and incompetent, it is impossible for him to be confused about this kind of matter.

"But it's true." Cao Cao sat on the chair, his back suddenly bent a little like an old man.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

No one knows what Liu Hong was thinking.

But what kind of consequences this incident will cause, anyone with a discerning eye knows clearly.

In the late Han Dynasty, taxes were already heavy and people in poor areas were in dire straits. It was impossible for Liu Hong to not be aware of the consequences of these things he did.

Moreover, most of the official taxes paid by officials still have to be deducted from the people. His actions will cause countless deaths. As long as there is a disaster, thousands of miles of refugees may be displaced.

unless
Liu Hong originally wanted to be a refugee thousands of miles away.

Chen Lei couldn't help being frightened by his own thoughts, and raised his head to see Cao Cao's red eyes.

I knew in my heart that Cao Cao probably thought about this too, after all Cao Cao is not a fool.

"Brother Chen, I'm not feeling well today, so I'm going back to the mansion first." Cao Cao stood up and said goodbye.

Yang Song and the others also got up to leave one by one, and Chen Lei sat on the stool, a little dazed.

Then I looked at those Xiaolian who studied hard and practiced hard, and felt a little pitiful in my heart. Most of them can't afford this official tax, which means that they are very likely to be kicked out of Shangshutai and leave Luoyang .

Chen Lei sighed and made up his mind.

Money is something outside of the body. It will never be useful if you hide it. Only what is spent is called money. The things that have been hidden all the time are just a pile of scrap metal.

But his current money can only fund half of it at most. He has to keep the most basic expenses. It is impossible for him to have no money and give it all to them.

Chen Lei didn't expect them to do anything to him, he just wanted to help as much as he could.

Just like Chen Lei in his previous life, as an orphan, it is unrealistic to grow up so big and go to college without help.

Some classmates and teachers in the school look down on him, and some often help him.

Many times he couldn't afford to pay the textbook fee, so the school would give Chen Lei a grace period of a few months, allowing Chen Lei to pay back slowly, and sometimes even initiated donations.

It is precisely because of mutual help and human touch that people can be called human beings instead of cold machines.

It's just that Chen Lei's funding for these poor and filial classmates cannot be now. They don't even know that there is such a thing. You suddenly ran over and said that you want to help them.

Chen Lei greeted several other acquaintances, and took He Yu to the outside of Shangshutai.

Xia Jing and Xiao Liuzi have already returned to Guangling, so there is no point in returning home.

Chen Lei took He Yu around Luoyang. If he had a briefcase in his hand and a bag of Huazi, he would be a Donghan Street kid.

"How long do you think this prosperous scene can last?" Chen Lei asked softly.

"See how long the people above want to last." He Yu is not Zhuge Liang, and he doesn't understand these general trends in the world, so he struggled to give a tricky answer.

"Yeah, let's see how long he wants to keep it up." Chen Lei smiled, "Take the little tail off the back. When our people come, we will take him to visit our house in Luoyang."

"Okay, Master Chen."

With a movement of consciousness, He Yu suddenly stabbed at the tail that followed.

The person behind swayed for a while, was supported by passers-by, and couldn't help doubting himself after finding out that he had lost his follow again.

Did I supplement too much recently, too much energy and blood in my body, which led to frequent dizziness?It seems that I will go to Yichun Courtyard tonight, but now I have to go back to the courtyard and tell Ma Qushuai what I found out.

The man simply thanked the passerby who helped him and hurried back to the yard. Ma Yuanyi happened to be there at the moment.

"How's the investigation?" Ma Yuanyi asked with a cold face.

"That kid from the Chen family seems to have been promoted to Xiaolian, and now he has to go to Shangshutai for two hours every day, and it is said that his housekeeper is an eighth-rank Wu Chong."

"Do you want to tell Mr. Xu, the regular servant, Mr. Xu should be sure to take action against a person from the Xiaolianyuan?" The goatee old man suggested.

Ma Yuanyi glanced at him, "Do you want to avenge yourself or someone else to avenge you?"

"Of course it's my own revenge." The old man with the goatee said something he couldn't help but smiled to himself.

Ma Yuanyi is the top leader of the Yellow Turbans who came to Luoyang, and all opinions must be listened to. He is just a small leader of the Luoyang Yellow Turbans. The first principle of speaking and doing things should be to cater to the big leaders. If you don’t listen to such obvious rhetorical questions, goats Old man Hu naturally didn't have the deep thoughts of entrapping Tang Zhou that day.

"Continue to investigate! Find out how many people Chen Lei brought to Luoyang." Ma Yuanyi ordered, "And you remember to be careful, the Chen family is a character who kills without blinking an eye. So many brothers went to Guangling that day, and they all died. The news is out, you will definitely be in trouble if you are found out."

The man looked serious, realizing the importance of the matter, "Thank you, Ma Qushuai, for reminding me!"

There is a coal mountain in Guangling, Xuzhou, which is far away from Luoyang.

There are hundreds of people working in the coal mountain.

One of them sneezed hard.

He rubbed his nose strangely.

I'm already at level [-], and I haven't sneezed in several years. How could I sneeze?
He scratched his head strangely and walked into Meishan with a basket on his back. He could vaguely hear a voice coming from the depths of Meishan.

"Everyone says Guangling is good?"

"Then why is it good?"
