"Brother, the imperial court has gone too far. Many people have already complained to me. If you don't care, the economy of Youzhou will be messed up by them."

Jicheng, Governor's Mansion of Youzhou.

A young man said to Li Bai angrily: "They not only collect taxes but also beat people. Two days ago, a shopkeeper in the Yuyang Farmer's Market was beaten to death by several court tax collectors. gone."

After a pause, the young man continued: "Many people heard that the government had shielded the tax collectors who beat people to death, and even went on strike. This caused the price of Yuyang City to skyrocket. If it is not resolved, the whole society will be in chaos."

"Then what can we do? Which of those yamen is not bigger than my official?" Li Bai was also very helpless about this matter.

He didn't expect that someone would come to this trick and go directly to the merchant to collect taxes.

"Let's go ask the teacher's opinion." Finally Li Bai said to the young man.

At this time, Zhang Qingfeng was leading a group of students in the Yuyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory to overcome the problem of locomotive manufacturing.

Zhang Qingfeng has been manufacturing this locomotive for several years, and after making several steam engines for experiments, there are defects. Zhang Qingfeng has been improving it all the time, and it is almost finished now.

Li Bai took a steam locomotive from Jicheng to Yuyang City. Thanks to the efforts of tens of thousands of Liaodong captives and Xianbei captives, the railway from Luping to Quanzhou Port was almost completed, and the steam locomotive was waiting for the machinery factory to manufacture. You can start operating.

Although steam locomotives have not been manufactured yet, many steam locomotives from Jicheng to Yuyang have been manufactured.

Li Bai set off from Jicheng at noon and arrived in Yuyang City in just a few hours.

"Teacher, what do you think about this matter? Why don't you go talk to General Zhong Lang and ask him to help restrain the court tax collectors?"

In the office of the machinery manufacturing factory, Li Bai told Zhang Qingfeng what happened, and then said to Zhang Qingfeng.

After listening to Li Bai's words, Zhang Qingfeng glanced at him, and said seriously: "Everyone is being bullied to the head, and you still want to compromise? The tax bureau supports thousands of people for nothing? Call me back, anyone who dares to come here I will be beaten to death for the tax collection in Youzhou, and I will be responsible for it."

Zhang Qingfeng said to Li Bai: "As for the tax collectors who beat people to death, you have someone lead a thousand musketeers to arrest them yourself, and if you catch them, shoot them immediately."

"This..." Li Bai was shocked when he heard Zhang Qingfeng's words. "Teacher, is this going too far? If you do this, things will get into trouble!"

"It's just to make trouble." Zhang Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "Since the prime minister decided to move the city to Youzhou, the public security in Youzhou has deteriorated sharply in the past few months. The fruit of the development victory of the state, this is absolutely not allowed."

Zhang Qingfeng said: "Just so, taking advantage of this opportunity, we will give a warning to those who dare to reach out."

"How about this, I don't think this is big enough, you deploy troops, we will strike again."

"Teacher, if we do this, I'm afraid we will be suspected by the court." Li Bai said hesitantly.

"The imperial court is suspicious? Who are you referring to? The prime minister? Or those court ministers?" Zhang Qingfeng said: "Don't worry, the prime minister will not suspect us because of this matter. As long as we always support the prime minister, other people will not be worried. "

The reason why Zhang Qingfeng said this was that he had the confidence. As far as his students were concerned, many of them had already gained great power.

Yue Fei had fifteen thousand cavalry under his command.

Ding Ruchang is now a general of the navy, with thousands of sailors under his command.

Du Fu is now Cao Cao's confidant and staff member.

Also, in this Liaodong War, many of Zhang Qingfeng's students made great contributions, with tens of thousands of troops under him.

In the south, Zheng Chenggong, Lin Yongsheng and other students made great contributions.

It can be said that Zhang Qingfeng's faction in Cao Cao's forces is already very large, plus he manages Youzhou like an iron bucket, if Cao Cao dares to move him, the whole world will be in chaos.

It was when Cao Cao saw this that he made up his mind to move the capital to Youzhou, and wanted to gradually control Youzhou in his own hands in the name of the capital.

Zhang Qingfeng did not resist Cao Cao's idea, after all his task was to assist Cao Cao.

However, he couldn't tolerate other people taking action against the Youzhou Taxation Bureau, which he managed and developed with great difficulty.

After hearing Zhang Qingfeng's thoughts, Li Bai was finally persuaded.

That night, Li Bai returned to Jicheng by steam locomotive.

The next day, a series of orders were issued from the governor's mansion.

Following Li Bai's order, many departments began to move.

Thousands of tax collectors from the Youzhou Taxation Bureau began to disperse.

In the barracks of the Youzhou Musketeers, a thousand Musketeers rode towards Yuyang on horseback.

Yamen servants in various counties and counties also dispatched a large number of people and began to arrest suspects who committed crimes on the street.

At the gate of Yuyang City, a group of soldiers rushed out quickly, and came directly in front of several court tax collectors who were collecting taxes at the gate of the city.

"Catch it." A leading officer gave an order, and immediately a group of soldiers rushed towards the tax collector.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Seeing such a situation, a tax collector immediately shouted.

At the gate of the city, seeing what happened suddenly, many people who entered and left the city began to stop and watch the excitement.

"The governor's office has an order to arrest all fake tax collectors who collect taxes irregularly, and arrest them all. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death." The officer shouted loudly.

"We are court tax collectors. If you dare to arrest us, I will see which of you dares." A tax collector shouted.

However, a group of soldiers didn't listen to him at all, and rushed forward to arrest him.

"Anyone who dares to step forward, don't blame me for being rude." Several tax collectors pulled out their waist knives one after another.

"I'll count to three and put down my weapon. Otherwise, it will be treated as a resistance and I will kill you." Seeing such a situation, the officer immediately sternly reprimanded him.

"What are you? How dare you arrest the court tax collectors and want to rebel?" The tax collectors were not frightened. Although they were few in number, they were not afraid at all.

After all, they are tax collectors directly led by the central court, and many of them have official status, which cannot be compared with big-headed soldiers.

"three……"

The officer ignored the tax collector's intimidation and started counting directly.

As he started counting, the musketeers beside him immediately raised their guns and started aiming at several tax collectors.

"two……"

Hearing the military officer's report, several tax collectors became a little nervous, but they didn't believe that the big soldiers in Youzhou dared to attack them.

"one……"

The officer reported the last number, and then said: "I will give you one last chance, will you put down your weapons?"

"You think I'm scaring you? Come up if you have the guts, and see if I chop you up or not." Seeing what the leading officer said, the leading tax collector immediately thought that the other party would not dare to attack, and immediately said sarcastically.

"shot!"

Seeing several tax collectors stubbornly resisting, the officer immediately issued an order and said.
