Liu Zheng turned pale with shock, and asked, "Your Highness, what is your crime?"

Zhao Huan looked at him condescendingly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the Liu family in Tiepu Village was actually the county captain's family.

No wonder, instead of helping to explain and appease the people, the county captain yesterday added fuel to the flames and fueled the flames! "

"Your Highness, I've been wronged, I just want to help Hu Cao Qingzhang's land!" Liu Zheng shouted.

"Whether it is true or not, you will know in a moment." With a sneer, Zhao Huan rode his horse forward.

The rumbling horseshoes made the earth tremble, and people's hearts trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing so many horse troops and the crown prince's banner, the people who gathered were a little panicked.

Yesterday, they got the news that Luo Congyan, the governor of Kaifeng, came to continue to carry out the taxation of Fangtian.

Naturally, the tyrants of Tiepu Village gathered together, intending to repeat the old tricks.

It's just that the information is wrong, who would have thought that the prince would arrive.

They dared to hit Lao Wei with a stick, even if Luo Congyan came, as long as he couldn't be killed with a stick, the matter would not get out of hand.

But for the prince, who dares to do it?

Moreover, Liu Zheng, who was locked up, made some people even more frightened.

Zhao Huan drove his horse, and when he reached the panicked crowd, he called out, "Datou Sun!"

No one answered, but Zhao Huan had already recognized him.

Probably because the surrounding people heard the crown prince's roll call, they already stepped aside and looked at Sun Datou.

Knowing that he couldn't avoid it, Sun Datou came out and said: "Xiaomin pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"You bastard." Zhao Huan scolded, "Your land is long gone. If you don't go to the county government to register it, why are you here to join in the fun?"

"Xiaomin heard that after the government clears up the land, it will raise taxes..." Sun Datou explained tremblingly.

"The tax increase is aimed at those who have a lot of land, so what does it have to do with you as a tenant?

If you have no land at all, you don't need to pay the land tax, you just need to go to the government office to cancel the land deed. " Zhao Huan said impatiently.

Not only was Sun Datou not at all dissatisfied, but he kowtowed respectfully and said, "Thank you Your Highness, Xiaomin is so stupid that he was deceived."

"Stop gossiping and leave quickly." Zhao Huan waved his hand.

Sun Datou left happily.

In the crowd, of course the tyrants were not reconciled, but they dared not move.

The horse soldiers accompanying the guards sat upright on their horses, holding their knives and guns tightly, and their eyes were as sharp as eagles, which was really frightening.

Zhao Huan didn't care, and called again: "Zhang Ergou."

... Only a few names were called, and all 130 households without land left.

There are more than a thousand people, only half of them are left.

Facts have proved that there are still a small number of big dog households, and there are still more poor people.

Zhao Huan shouted again: "Gu Fa!"

"Little people are here." Gu Fa Lie bowed down.

"Your family actually owns 130 acres of land, but it's registered as 520 acres. Is there such a thing?" Zhao Huan asked.

"Your Highness is clearly aware, but there is such a thing." Gu Fa agreed.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Huan said, "Lao Wei, lead the people to go to the inventory, re-register and make the book, and determine the tax amount according to the actual amount."

"Here." Lowe agreed.

He knew it was over.

The prince's power is not something that a mere rural tyrant can contend with.

Eleven families with less land and more taxes were sent away, and even fewer remained.

Zhao Huan glanced at the audience and shouted: "If you are not a villager in Tiepu Village, leave immediately. I will not be held accountable at the discretion of the palace. Otherwise, everyone will be punished according to the law!"

There was a commotion among the crowd, and after a moment of hesitation, more than three hundred people left.

At the scene, there were only a hundred or so left.

Zhao Huan grinned and said, "Now, count your tax evasion and resist the government."

"Liu Fang!" Zhao Huan first named Liu Zheng's master.

Two hundred and six children return to Beijing

"Your Highness, the fines imposed by the powerful iron shops have all been paid." Lao Wei said with a complex expression.

Although it was the first time for a small village, he failed.

Not only sent Xiahou Chunfei, but also asked the prince to go out in person, which made Lao Wei extremely incompetent.

In the future, if there is such a task again, I am afraid it will be useless.

Without a strong bone, naturally there is no credit, and naturally there is no hope for being a marquis and a prime minister.

So, why isn't Lowe depressed?

Zhao Huan didn't care about Lao Wei's thoughts, the opportunity had already been given, and he couldn't grasp it, so he had nothing to say.

"Is there any obstacle in other parts of Qingcheng?" Zhao Huan asked.

"Because of the example of Tiepu Village, the rest went smoothly." Lao Wei said.

Zhao Huan lowered his head slightly, and said: "Fang Tian equalizes the tax, approaching is to gouge out the flesh of the world's powerful, and there will be a rebound. The world is not peaceful now, so don't be careless."

"Your Highness." Luo Wei hesitated for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Since you want to show your determination, why not use harsh hands to make an example of others. A mere fine may not be enough to scare people."

Last year, when we went south for disaster relief, so many powerful officials killed them as soon as they said they wanted, and it took less effort than killing chickens.

Nowadays, the local tyrants in Tiepu Village resist the decree and even threaten to beat the officials, but they are only fined, which is indeed too light.

To be honest, a fine of five times the tax amount is actually not much for local tyrants.

Just like Liu Fang's family, there are more than [-] mu of land, all of which are first-class fields. The penalty is calculated according to the stepped tax rate, but it is only a little over a thousand.
