While shouting, more than ten people rushed out first.

Lao Wei was in a hurry and shouted: "Folks, this is not the case, let me explain!"

It was useless at all, the big man rushed to the front and picked up the dirt.The stick was smashed over.

"Hu Cao be careful!"

Liu Gang's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. With one hand, he pulled Lao Wei back, and with the other, he raised his shield to block it.

"Come here, protect the laborer Cao and go back."

Liu Zheng shouted, led more than ten soldiers, surrounded Lao Wei and retreated.

They retreated, and the people followed each other with sticks and hoes.

Just because he was afraid of the majesty of the government, he didn't dare to fight.

However, many people clamored and clamored, completely drowning Lauwe's voice.

After exiting the village, the common people blocked the entrance of the village, staring at Lao Wei and his party.

Among the group, there were more than [-] elite guards of the East Palace and more than [-] soldiers from the county. It was not difficult to suppress this group of people.

However, the swords and guns of the soldiers are for dealing with the common people?

"Hucao, what should we do?" Liu Gang asked.

He was also depressed. He was supposed to be on vacation, and he deserved to feel too free. He took this errand, but was beaten out.

After hesitating for a while, Lao Wei said dejectedly, "I am no longer in charge of this matter, so I have to go back and ask Shao Yin to make the decision."

The prefect of Kaifeng is a part-time job by Luo Congyan.

Although Luo Congyan treats people generously, but he has a bad start, and Lao Wei will inevitably suffer.

However, if he could solve this matter independently, he wouldn't have been wasted until now.

Two hundred and five disintegrated

"Xiahou Chunfei, go to Tiepu Village and find out the details!"

"Yes!" Xiahou Chunfei led the order and came out.

Zhao Huan looked at Lao Wei and said, "Tell me the details here."

Lowe restrained his nervousness and told the whole story without embellishment or omission of details.

Originally, he planned to report to Luo Congyan, but he didn't want Zhao Huan to be present.

Seeing him come back in a state of embarrassment, after Zhao Huan asked what happened, he immediately summoned Xiahou Chunfei, and then asked about the details.

After listening to Lao Wei's report, Zhao Huan tapped on the armrest and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Yuzhang, what do you think of this matter?"

"Fang Tian's average tax is indeed beneficial to the country and the people, but the resistance is unexpectedly large." Luo Congyan frowned.

Luo Wei blushed, and said: "Your Highness, I am incompetent, please forgive me."

"Forget it, it's not that you're good at it. It's because I'm too optimistic. It's your fault." Zhao Huan waved his hand.

After comforting Lao Wei, Zhao Huan looked at Luo Congyan and said, "Tomorrow, this king will personally visit Tiepu Village, what does Yu Zhang think?"

"Is it too much to make a big fuss about? In the end, it's only a village. Even if there are a few powerful people, it's not worthy of His Highness." Luo Congyan said.

Although the matter is difficult and cannot be solved by others, there is no need for the prince to go there himself.

If it doesn't work, send [-] soldiers to supervise and see who dares to make trouble.

Zhao Huan smiled and said: "Equal taxation for Fangtian is related to the foundation for thousands of years, so it must be implemented.

As the first stop, Tiepu Village should not only be clean and tidy, but also become a model for the world.

Therefore, I will walk around to show Donggong's determination! "

Donggong's determination must not be underestimated!

The choice of Tiepu Village was based on the story of Guo Zi.

During the reign of Renzong Jingyou, the polarization between the rich and the poor in Feixiang County was obvious. The bureaucrats and tyrants robbed and plundered the land wantonly. Cannibalized, but have to bear a heavy tax.

Moreover, the land distribution data in the land tax collection book registered by the county government has been seriously out of touch with the actual situation.

Its injustice has reached the limit that the people can bear.

At that time, the people were full of grievances and anger. In addition to the fleeing of a large number of people, many people violently resisted the tax, which seriously affected the stability of the local area.

Therefore, Feixiang County, which is known as the "granary of cotton sea" in Hebei, collects taxes according to the land tax collection book, which cannot be collected properly at all.

Faced with this reality, Hebei Transshipment made Yang Kai worried but helpless.

Taxes cannot be collected and cannot be accounted to the court, and state machinery is used to forcibly collect them for fear of stirring up large-scale civil uprisings and causing social unrest.

Fortunately, with the help of Guo Consulting, there was the beginning of Fangtian equalization tax.

The situation in Tiepu Village at this time is better than that in Feixiang County back then.

Because there are many iron shops, the villagers can work and live, but they will not flee and become thieves.

However, field mergers are just as serious.

According to preliminary investigations, Tiepu Village has more than [-] mu of land, but the county government recorded only [-] mu of land, more than half of which was concealed.

Moreover, so many fields are only in the hands of 32 households, but there should be 160 households in the land deed records.

That is to say, 130 households paid taxes in vain.

It stands to reason that these people should raise their hands and feet to support Donggong.

However, there is a villain at work.

As for whether these people followed blindly or were coerced, it still needs to be investigated.

This is why Zhao Huan sent Xiahou Chunfei.

The next day, Zhao Huan led five hundred personal guards and the manpower to measure the land, and hurried to Tiepu Village.

When Liu Zhengdang saw the prince, he immediately stepped forward to salute him.

Looking at the respectful Liu Zheng, Zhao Huan pointed at his horsewhip and yelled softly, "Come on, take it down!"
