Liu Bei smirked: "You have seen...have dogs changed to eat shit?"

Chapter 195 Eight years later, people's grievances are boiling, and wars are everywhere

Liu Bei deserves to be one of the top figures in the world, and he has a good grasp of the mind and future of Liu Yan and even the emperor, eunuchs, relatives, and scholars.

Of course Liu Yan can now directly raise troops into Luoyang to become emperor.With his strength, it is enough to kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and suppress all disobedient ministers.

But having said that, if Liu Yan takes the throne in this way, this matter will be like Tang Taizong's "killing brothers, killing brothers and imprisoning his father" and Song Taizu's "adding a yellow robe", and it will become a stain that he can't wash away for life.

With Liu Yan's strength, why is he so ugly?

Isn't it good to take the world when the people of the world are completely desperate for eunuchs, relatives, scholars, and even the emperor?

When the people of the world are crying and begging Liu Yan to take over the world, there will be another epic battle of "King Wu defeating Zhou". Isn't it beautiful?

The entire world today is like a plate of peerless delicacy being served on the table, waiting for Liu Yan to taste it.

Liu Yan is not in a hurry.

As for the emperor, eunuchs, relatives and scholars?Still the same sentence, dogs can't change eating shit.

Under Liu Yan's coercion, of course they can temporarily correct their mistakes and work hard.However, one day can be two days, what about one or two months?

What about one year or two?

What about three years?

In fact, in the third year after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down, those high-ranking figures were ready to move.

The first person who couldn't bear it was the emperor Liu Hong, a rare smart man in the world.

At that time, a fire broke out in Luoyang Nangong Yuntai.

In the past few years, Liu Hong no longer extorts money, and only takes care of the tens of thousands of women in the West Garden. How can he spend a large sum of money to rebuild the Nangong Palace?

So, he approached Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to discuss whether to tax the world and add ten dollars per mu to repair Nangong.

"Your Majesty, you should have issued an order long ago."

When Zhang Rang heard that the emperor wanted to raise taxes, his eyes could shine brightly, and he said: "As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, you don't have a gorgeous and solemn palace, so why should you be so majestic? Raising taxes to build a palace is simply a matter of course!"

"But..." Liu Hong put on a show and said, "Tell me, is King Qin unhappy?"

Zhao Zhongdao: "Your Majesty is worrying too much. I can assure you that if you talk about the King of Qin, it is impossible for those ordinary people who are taxed to be unhappy.

It's very simple, how much is this?Only ten words.What's wrong with taking out such a little money to honor your father?That is... That is, it is equivalent to eating meat for the elderly at home. "

"Well said! Zhao Changshi's words are very incisive!"

Liu Hong narrowed his eyes with joy, and nodded again and again: "The common people respect the old man, what's wrong with giving meat to the old man at home? It is also reasonable for me to build the palace. So... I just made the decree?"

"As it should be!"

Ever since, with a stroke of his pen, Liu Hong increased the tax by ten qian per mu.

However, in fact, Liu Hong is extremely smart, how could he really not know that although the tax increase of ten cents per mu is not much, scholars and powerful people do not pay taxes!

The tax they should pay will be apportioned to Xiaomin.

Moreover, the tax collectors will take the opportunity to extort money!

What's more, the transiting officials and the eunuchs in the palace wanted to share the windfall.

I want ten Wen per mu for myself, and ordinary people have to pay more than fifty Wen!

However, having said that, Liu Hong is smart.

He felt that even if he raised the tax by [-] Wen per mu, the common people should afford it.

Sure enough, the taxation of ten Wen per mu was arranged, and the people of the world were silent.Liu Hong collected all the money from Xiunan Palace without paying any price.

Very good, everything is under my control!

Liu Hong was really proud of himself.

It has to be said that the most feared thing in the world is a smart person like Liu Hong who is headstrong and self-serving.

Since it is no problem to add ten renminbi tax per mu to repair Nangong, then it should be no problem to add ten renminbi tax per mu to buy some cosmetics for the women in the West Garden, right?

It shouldn't be a problem to sell a little more official title, right?

Let the eunuchs make some money, is it completely justified?

Heavy taxation, selling officials and nobles, pampering eunuchs, plundering beauties... The evil policies before the Yellow Turban Rebellion were picked up again by Liu Hong.

The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked.

Liu Hong is so depraved, how can those eunuchs, relatives and scholars get better?

In just three years, the ZTE state of the big man disappeared as quickly as a flash in the pan.Like a derailed train, it is galloping towards the road to subjugation.

……

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Jizhou, Fuliu City, a small dilapidated courtyard.

"go to hell!"

With a loud shout, the head of an official servant soared into the sky.

Pfft!

The body of the official servant fell together with the body of another official servant not far away who had been stabbed through the heart.

A big man, holding a blood-stained ring-shou knife, said viciously at the corpse: "Is it dead? Is it dead? I told you a long time ago, don't force me! But, you don't listen! You must grab it!" My daughter is tax deductible! No way, I, Zhang Silei, will send you on your way today!"

That's right, he is Zhang Silei.

Eight years ago, Zhang Silei's wife died of illness, and his daughter was hanging from the beam. When he was desperate, he happened to catch up with the Yellow Turban Rebellion and took refuge in the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Jiao led the main force of the Yellow Turbans to besiege Luoyang.Zhang Silei's Yellow Turban Army did not participate in the battle, but served as a left-behind army guarding Jizhou.

After Liu Yan pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court pardoned the world, and Zhang Silei became a small citizen of Jizhou again.

He married a widow, started a small business, and had a daughter of his own again. It seemed that life was full of hope again.

However, the good times did not last long.

It didn't take long before the officials extorted, heavy taxes came one after another, and Zhang Silei became impoverished again.

His wife also died of illness, leaving only his six-year-old daughter to live with him.

The newly added tax of Baiwen is really impossible to pay.

But the two officials still pressed him, if he didn't pay, he would take his daughter as a tax deduction.

Zhang Silei, who participated in the Yellow Turban, is no longer the farmer and small businessman he used to be.

Without the instigation of others, Zhang Silei directly rose up and killed the two officials.

Then, he put his daughter in a bamboo basket and carried his back on his back, holding a blood-stained scimitar, and rushed out, saying: "Reverse! Damn!"

"Reverse! Reverse!"

"This day can't go on!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill the big family! Kill the officials!"

……

One by one, the little people walked out of the house without hesitation, and stood with Zhang Silei.

Of course Zhang Silei himself does not have such a great appeal, but the government is forcing the people to rebel, and the whole world is already full of dry wood at this time, and he is only missing a spark.

With his yell, the dry firewood on the ground was instantly ignited!

Inverted!

Faint Lord, you are extorting money!

Scholars, you steal and steal!

Eunuchs and relatives, you are tyrannical and greedy!

Since you don't give everyone a way to survive, everyone will turn against you!

We want to destroy together with you and this great Han Jiangshan community!

Chapter 196 The Scholars Can't Take It Anymore

Three months later, Mengjin ferry.

Mengjin is in the south of the Yellow River and Luoyang is in the north.Since ancient times, it has been the gate of Luoyang, a place where military strategists must contend, and countless legends have happened.

200 years ago, King Wu of Zhou met with [-] princes here, and established the general situation that the hearts of the people would support Zhou and the collapse of the Shang Dynasty.

Today, two historical legends meet in Guanyi at Mengjin Ferry.

One of them was named Sima Zhi, and his style name was Shuyi.

Sima Zhi had served as Xiaolian, county magistrate, and Yilang. When he was about to be transferred to a senior official of two thousand shi, his mother died suddenly, so he returned to his hometown to serve filial piety for six years.

He had just finished keeping his filial piety, and caught up with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so he never became an official, so he was quite unlucky.

But, having said that, the big Han ruled the country with filial piety, and he respected a filial figure like Sima Zhi.

And most importantly, Sima Zhi was clean and self-respecting during his years as an official. During these years of filial piety, he provided care to orphans and helped the poor.

Just in time, wars have been raging all over the world recently, the governor of Julu died in a war with the refugees, and a new governor is urgently needed to take office.

Ever since, the imperial court remembered Sima Zhi, and promoted him to the prefect of Julu in one step, and became a high-ranking official with a rank of two thousand stones.

It's not that Sima Zhi doesn't want to be the governor of Julu County.But, no matter what, you have to pay for being an official!

Yes, you have to pay.

Nowadays, officials of the Han Dynasty must first give the emperor a sum of money to buy an official when they take office, even if Sima Zhi is an official appointed by the court on his own initiative.

The price of the sheriff is 2000 million.

Well, the emperor is not unreasonable, aren't you Sima Zhi known for your incorruptibility?

This Julu County is really a mess, so I will give you a half discount and another half discount, and pay 500 million to buy an official.

However, Sima Zhi really has no money, and he can't even get 500 million.

Ever since, the emperor made another concession, 300 million, no less.It doesn't matter if Sima Zhi can't get the money now, he will pay the official money after one year in office.

Isn't this forcing Sima to go straight to squeeze the people?

Sima Zhi would rather resign than be a sheriff who buys an official.

However, Liu Hong didn't care about that, he directly tied the seal ribbon of Julu County Sheriff to him, and ordered people to drive him out.

Sima Zhi is so aggrieved!

Not long after leaving Luoyang, he stayed at Mengjin Ferry and resolutely refused to move on.

Ever since, the emperor made another decree, ordering Yilang Wang Yun to come to persuade him.And, to be clear, if Sima Zhi refused to listen to persuasion, he would be taken to Julu.

Wang Yun is also pitiful.

At the beginning, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was in danger, Wang Yun took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Liangzhou to persuade Liu Yan to send troops.

As a result, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down by Liu Yan.However, the emperor was also forced by Liu Yan to issue an imperial edict.

Under the hatred of the house, looking at Wang Yun is not pleasing to the eye, not only demoted him to Yilang, but also asked him to do this wicked job.

Inside Mengjin Guanyi.

Wang Yun was full of embarrassment, and said: "Brother Shuyi, don't you really want to go to Julu to be the county guard? There are refugees everywhere, and the people are suffering. It really needs a great sage like you to govern!"

"If I go to relieve the people of Julu, I, Sima Zhi, will die almost without regret. But, master..." Sima Zhi smiled wryly: "You really don't know, why did His Majesty ask me to go to Julu? Ask me to search for 300 million yuan to be my official money.

He wants me to recover, heavy taxes on the people of Julu County Governor!How can I, Sima Zhi, do this matter? "

After a pause, Sima stood up straight, his eyes flushed, and said: "The sheriff of a county is the parents of the people of a county. I can't bear to cut off the people for the sake of the people's parents! I can't!" ! I...don't do it!"

Wang Yun said helplessly: "Brother Shuyi, you should think clearly. Even if I am willing to let you go, the twenty guards of the Habayashi Army around me are directly under the emperor's orders and will never let you go! This giant deer, you must go!"

"Son of heaven...hehe..." Sima Zhi sneered and said, "At the beginning, when the Taiping Dao rioted, the martyrdom song said: I sacrifice my blood to the Yellow Heaven, and only hope that my descendants enjoy peace. Today, I also have something to say, I would like to ask Master, tell the emperor..."

"What?"

"Forget it, forget it." Sima Zhi seemed to think of something suddenly, waved his hand, and said, "Don't talk about this. Brother Zi, it's getting late now, you and I should rest earlier. Tomorrow, I will definitely give A satisfactory explanation from you, Master Zi, will never embarrass you, Master Zi."
