Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 861

[Chapter 859: Thousand Miles of Embankment (12,400 Supplements)]

The second year of Kaiping.

spring.

Xuzhou, Daqu Mansion.

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

Farm land, religious taxes, commercial taxes, and grain payment by officials and gentry all…

Another official document was posted at the city gate, and there were also government officials walking around the streets holding gongs to make announcements.

Dang!

“The King of Liang decreed that Taiping Temple, Longzi Temple and Songzi Empress Temple are all temples of obscenity… they should be destroyed!”

“The Dongmen family resisted Zhang Tian and the whole family was killed!”

“The Kong family evaded taxes and ransacked their homes!”

…

In the midst of the commotion, a window was closed: “Hey… all these imperial students from the south are actually capable officials. It’s useless for me to wait.”

The speaker was an old official, a former householder in Daqu Prefecture. A book office.

Don’t think it’s just an official. In fact, it has been passed down from generation to generation. Even the government does not know how many people and land are under its rule. If you want to collect taxes, you have to rely on him, or in other words, rely on the ‘yellow book’ and ‘land book’ passed down from his family’s ancestors. ‘.

After taking control of these things, officials were passed down from father to son and from son to grandson, and their power was deeply rooted. In collusion with local powerful families, their influence was quite terrifying.

“Yan Laoer, how dare you say it now? You’ve knelt faster than anyone else before!”

Another black iron man sneered: “But it’s not okay if you don’t kneel. Like other prefectures and counties, people like us can’t The whole

city was killed…”

Because Daqu Mansion opened the city and surrendered before attacking, it retained a lot of remnants. Although Yal’an dismissed them all, the hatred was still forged.

How could there be no resentment after smashing someone else’s iron rice bowl?

In this room, there were officials, officials, landlords and temple ministers, all of whom had lost their interests because of Liang Jun’s entry into the city.

“Well, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, why bother to harm the harmony?”

A wealthy businessman smiled and touched the jade ring on his hand, and sighed: “But the King of Liang was very harsh on my businessman, and he used all kinds of clever names. It’s just 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 received orders from the north. We must delay Liang Jun and prevent him from going north this year.”

A temple priest had a gloomy face and his hands were still covered with wounds. He was obviously a member of the obscene temple forces that had been attacked before.

He was lucky enough to be able to escape capture.

“What’s the plan?”

“It’s very simple, just stir up a civil uprising and force the people to rebel…”

“Although Daliang is trying to break our bones and suck our marrow, it’s still okay for the head of Guizhou… The people can live, who wants to Rebellion? “

” Just force the people to rebel! Although all of those imperial students are quite capable, they are still too young to be able to give in if they are tempted. ” Yan Laoer smiled.

He is naturally very clear about the methods of officials.

Even if the law enacted by the King of Liang and the Prime Minister is an eternal law, it can easily be distorted during execution!

“Yes, this plan is very clever.”

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

At that time, King Jin will He could calmly control the north, but instead suppressed King Liang!

…

Official office.

Toyojiro was holding the latest statistical table and nodded with satisfaction: “This month’s commercial tax has increased by 30% compared to the previous month, which will definitely satisfy the Prime Minister.”

He was originally just a son of a common man, half a young man, living in poverty. .

When I was in Jiangzhou Prefecture, I heard that Taixue provided free meals and books, and that he could become an official after graduation. My father immediately sent him in, regardless of the fact that he was famous for his wooden head in the eyes of the neighbors. The kind that can drive a private school teacher to death.

The result was also surprising. After entering the Imperial College, Toyojiro seemed to have a sudden enlightenment. He studied seriously. He passed the examination a year later, graduated successfully, and became a minor official.

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

Due to the rapid development of Liang Wang’s power, imperial students were promoted quickly. Within a few years, he was promoted one after another and became a ninth-rank official.

At this time, others no longer dared to accuse him of being stupid when he was a child. They all said that the ancestors of the old Feng family were in trouble, and they were thinking of sending their own children to the Imperial Academy to become officials!

“This time the Prime Minister selects talents who want to go north, and when they come, they will promote them to the next level. I am already a tax collector from the eighth level!”

“This is the advantage of Conglong, promotion is very fast… In the future, even if I am a senior member of the Ministry of Revenue, You may not be able to think about it…”

Just as Toyojiro was preparing to take a rest, someone outside reported: “Sir, there is someone outside the office who calls himself Yanji.”

“Oh, I remember him, Chuan!

” This person was originally a minor official in the sixth room of the mansion. After the handover, the prime minister told Tongtong to get out.

It can give him some impression. The first is that this person is good at maneuvering and flattering, and the second is that everyone ranks second.

“My dear, my lord!”

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

“Get up.”

Toyojiro squinted his eyes, which was very helpful.

Thinking back to my childhood, let alone such officials, even if they were unofficial government officials who came to the house, their parents would be frightened half to death. They would eat and drink at will, ask for cards, and collect money for tea before leaving. At this time, Toyoshiro Toyojiro, who has a lot of good fortune, felt like coming to my house this year: “Why are you here? What’s the matter?”

“Sir, the second child in my family is pregnant, and I’m here to treat you to a drink.” Yan Er said with a smile on his face, Of course I wouldn’t be so stupid as to talk about bribery when I first come to the Yamen.

But as long as Toyojiro goes to his house, there will naturally be a series of means waiting for him.

For example… secretly adding medicine to the wine, taking advantage of Toyojiro, and then dragging him down!

At the beginning, it was just to do some small things that were on the sidelines, and then slowly expanded.

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

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

“Drinking a wedding banquet?”

Toyojiro received the invitation, and 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 subordinate officials are really rich…The Prime Minister let them go too early. ‘

Although he thought so in his heart, Toyojiro, who was born as a humble citizen, still couldn’t restrain the greed in his heart and put the invitation in his arms: “Easy to say, easy to say…”

but he agreed to the banquet.

In my mind, I was thinking: “The Prime Minister has no rule against accepting banquets. I’m going to have a glass of water and wine and say a few perfunctory words. What’s going to happen?” “

Thank you, sir.”

When Yan Er heard the answer, he knew that the official had been trapped in the urn. He was overjoyed and had a flattering and flattering smile on his face. He thought to himself: “It’s so easy to fall into the trap. It seems that King Liang There really is no one under his command! ‘
