Mysterious Catastrophe

"What about Chongming Dao?" Nuguan suddenly asked.

"Chongming Dao, the real disciples of the major disciples backfired to death as early as when the King of Jin broke the capital, and the blessed land of the mountain gate was turned into a bad place... miserable, too horrible to look at!"

Chapter 858 Embankment of a Thousand Miles

Kaiping two years.

spring.

Xuzhou, Daqu Mansion.

After the Taixue officials transferred from the south fully enriched the prefectures and counties, Aaron's will was strictly implemented here.

Zhangtian, religious tax, commercial tax, government and gentry payment of food...

At the gate of the city, an official document was posted again, and the government servants walked through the streets with gongs to announce it.

Dangdang!

"The King of Liang ordered that Taiping Temple, Longzi Temple, and Songzi Niangniang Temple are all prostitute temples...destroy them!"

"The Dongmen family resists Zhang Tian, ​​and the whole family will be exterminated!"

"The Kong family evaded taxes and ransacked the house!"

……

Amidst the turmoil, a window was closed: "Hey... all the students from the south are considered capable officials, so it's useless for me to wait."

The person who spoke was an old official, a former secretary of Cao Nei, a householder in Daqu Prefecture.

Don't look at it as just an official, in fact, it is passed down from generation to generation, even if the government doesn't know how many people and how much land it governs. If you want to collect taxes, you have to rely on him, or in other words, rely on the "yellow book" and "land book" handed down by his family. '.

After controlling these, the official officials passed on from father to son, son to grandson, and their power was deeply entrenched. They colluded with local wealthy and powerful households, and their influence was quite terrifying.

"Brother Yan, you dare to talk about it now, before kneeling faster than anyone else!"

Another black iron man sneered and said: "But it's okay if you don't kneel, like other prefectures and counties, people like us will be killed if they break the city..."

Because the Daqu Mansion opened the city and surrendered before the attack, it retained a lot of remnants. Although Aaron dismissed everything, the hatred still forged.

How can there be no resentment for smashing someone's iron job?

In this room, there are officials and officials, landlords and temple congratulators, all of whom lost their interests because of Liang Jun's entry into the city.

"Okay, everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, why hurt your peace?"

A wealthy businessman touched the jade wrench with a smile, and sighed, "However, the King of Liang is very harsh on my businessmen, and all kinds of tricky names are taxed like tens of thousands of taxes...I think if this continues, everyone will go bankrupt! "

"It's not the king of Liang, but the prime minister." Another scholar said something fair: "Who doesn't know that the king of Liang is a puppet!"

"Hehe...Anyway, we have all been ordered by the north, and we must delay Liang Jun so that he cannot go north this year."

A Miao Zhu had a gloomy face and wounds on his hands, obviously the prostitutes who had been attacked before.

It is also considered his fate, and he was able to escape the hunt.

"The plan will come out?"

"It's very simple, just stir up a civil uprising, and the government will force the people to rebel..."

"Although Daliang is crushing on us now, it's not bad for Guishou... The common people can live on, who wants to rebel?"

"It's enough for the government to force the people to rebel! Although those Tai students are all capable, they are still too young. If you lure them a little for profit, you don't have to worry about not giving in." Yan Lao Er smiled.

Of course, he is very clear about the means of officials.

Even if the king of Liang and the prime minister formulate a law that will never be easy, they can easily sing crooked scriptures when they are implemented!

"Yes, this plan is very clever."

The eyes of several other people also lit up: "We will also cooperate secretly to build momentum, add fuel and jealousy... In the end, the government will force the people to rebel, and even the whole state will be in chaos!"

At that time, Jin Wang will be able to take care of the north calmly, but instead suppress Liang Wang!

……

official office.

Toyojiro was holding the latest statistics and nodded with satisfaction: "This month's business tax has increased by [-]% compared to last month, and the prime minister will definitely be satisfied."

He was originally just a son of ordinary people, a half-grown man who ate poor old men.

Back then in Jiangzhou Mansion, I heard that Taixue gave me food and books for free, and could be an official when I came out, so I was sent in by my father immediately, regardless of his famous elm head in the eyes of the neighbors, The kind that can piss Mr. Private School to death.

The result was also strange. After entering the Taixue, Toyojiro seemed to have his head suddenly enlightened. He studied seriously, passed the examination a year later, graduated smoothly, and became a petty official.

This made his father very proud, and specially invited the neighbors to a banquet.

Due to the rapid development of Liang Wang's power, the promotion of Tai students was also very fast. In a few years, he was promoted again and again, and he became a ninth-rank official.

At this time, people no longer dare to say that he was stupid when he was a child, and they all said that there was smoke in the ancestors of Lao Feng's family, and he was thinking about stuffing his own children into the Taixue, and becoming an official when he came out!

"This time the prime minister selects talents from the north, and when they come, they will be promoted to the first rank. I am already a tax officer from the eighth rank!"

"This is the benefit of Conglong. He is promoted quickly... In the future, even if he is a senior member of the household department, he may not be able to think about it..."

Just when Feng Erlang was about to rest, someone outside reported: "My lord, someone outside the official office asked to see him, and he called himself Yan Er."

"Oh, I remember him, pass!"

Toyojiro remembered that this person was originally a small official from the sixth house in the mansion. After the handover, the prime minister told everyone to leave.

It can give him some impressions. The first is that this person is good at making money and flattering. The second is that everyone is ranked second.

"The little one greets the adults!"

Not long after, Yan Er came in and knelt down to salute.

"Get up."

Toyojiro squinted his eyes, it was very helpful.

When I was young, don't talk about such officials, even if the yamen servants (without establishment) came to the house, my parents would be scared to death, and they would eat and ask for cards at will, and charge for tea and water before leaving. Toyojiro, who has a sense of feng shui, came to my house this year: "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

"My lord, the second child is born in my youngest family, so I'm here to treat you to a drink." Yan Er accompanied him with a smiling face, of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to talk about bribery when he came to the yamen for the first time.

But as long as Toyojiro went to his house, there would naturally be a series of means waiting.

For example... Secretly drugged the wine, took Toyojiro's handle, and then dragged him into trouble!

At the beginning, I was just asking for some small things around the edge, and then slowly expanded.

Among the targets, there are still many officials to be dealt with in this way.

When the time comes to launch together, Xuzhou will definitely be in chaos!

"Drink wedding wine?"

When Toyojiro received the invitation, his heart skipped a beat.

This invitation is very important!

It's not made of paper, it seems to be made of gold and silver!

'These subordinates are really rich...the prime minister let them go too early. '

Although he thought so in his heart, Toyojiro, who was born as a small citizen, still couldn't restrain the greed in his heart, and put the invitation in his arms: "It's easy to say..."

But he agreed to the banquet.

But I was thinking in my heart: "The prime minister has no rule that he cannot accept banquets. I'm going to have a glass of water and wine and make a few perfunctory sentences. What's the matter?" '

"Thank you sir."

When Yan Er heard the answer, he knew that the official had already entered the urn. He was overjoyed, and there was a flattering and flattering smile on his face, thinking to himself: "It's so easy to fall into the trap. It seems that King Liang really has no one under his command!" '

Chapter 859 Civil chaos

Time unknowingly into the summer.

Dadong Township.

"Didn't the king of Liang already have a decree to only charge [-]%?"

An old farmer looked at the tax collector and begged, "Why is there another increase?"

"This is the order of the court. Could it be that you want to disobey the king's law?"

The tax collector's expression darkened, and he shouted: "The prime minister wants to make a northern expedition, so you should be patient! Don't gossip, pay quickly, or your cattle will be taken away!"

A farming ox was the lifeblood of a farmer in ancient times.

The old farmer's eyes were bloodshot immediately, but he dared not speak out.

……

A carriage slowly passed by the field ridge, and Toyojiro sat in it, a little worried: "Isn't it afraid of trouble if the summer grain is collected like this?"

"Please don't worry, my lord. This generation of small people has been here for so many years. Dasong was like this back then, and Daliang is like this now. We can only endure."

On the opposite side, Yan Er smiled and said: "And... the adults helped to cover up, we all have benefits to contribute."

With that said, he stuffed a stack of gold leaves.

Toyojiro looked a little glaring, after all, he was also this kind of oppressed little man before, but he still accepted it: "I'll walk around and take a look, you don't have to worry about me."

At the beginning, when he was drinking and having sex, he accidentally slept with someone else's wife, and he still tasted the marrow, so Toyojiro was dragged into the water.

This one is the little lady who is reluctant to part with the watery spirit, and the second is also afraid that things will be revealed.

After all, the prime minister made repeated orders and demands for a clean government!

If this scandal occurs, the official skin may be stripped off, not to mention entering the household department in the future, it would be good if you don't enter the anti-corruption department to drink tea!

In the end, one wrong step, one wrong step... Toyojiro helped the Yan family with a few small things because of his affection, and then it became bigger and bigger.

Now, these people have extended their mouths to the collection of summer grain!

However... Toyojiro had no way out.

If it was still enough to go to the ICAC to drink tea at the beginning, it is enough to go to the execution ground now.

Still can only go one way to the dark, and pray not to be found.

……

On the carriage, another person suddenly got on, looked at Yan Er: "This official agreed?"

Yan Er laughed: "Of course, he has nowhere to go!"

"However, if it's just a little corruption, I'm afraid it won't be able to delay Liang Jun." The man sighed.

"Of course not... this is just the first step, and Toyojiro is also our abandoned son."

Yan Er smiled and said: "With his name and official documents, those petty officials who are really attracted by us can increase the price level by level. In the end, he will charge [-]% of the rent per mu of land!"

"Oh...then it seems that the people can't survive, and they are really going to rebel!" The man nodded: "It's just that although the people are rebellious, they are easily suppressed, so it's not a big deal!"

This person has seen history clearly, knowing that the rebellion has nothing to do with other things, just look at one point-whether the power is great or not!

And this uprising is obviously not even a wave.

"So we still need our people to mix in as the backbone, and provide weapons, armor, food and grass support... We don't want to capture big cities, just harass the countryside."

Yan Erdao: "One more thing, this leader of righteousness cannot be one of us, or even have any relationship with him. It is best to be famous enough, well-known in the prefecture and county, clean and honest, so that he can plead for the people... please After that, he can die!"

"There are several candidates like this, all of whom are secretly instigating, and the effect will be seen in a short time."

……

June.

The sun is like fire.

Daqu Fucheng, Fuya.

Aaron was lying on a soft couch, and there were several beauties beside him, one of them was fanning, and the other was cutting freshly chilled melons.

While eating melon, he watched a falcon fall.

Not long after, a clerk came to report in a hurry: "Prime Minister... the big thing is not good, the people of Dadong Township have resisted the tax and rebelled!"

"Oh?"
