I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 121 Burning in anger, Li Shiyao became ruthless (for subscription)

Governor's Mansion!
After getting the governor's order, an official sent over soon.

"The imperial court is short of money recently, and it will be the middle of the 24th year of Qianlong, so let's collect food!"

"Master Zhongtang, Guangdong and Guangxi can't accept it anymore. Now I have received the 50th year of Qianlong. If you accept those muds, there will be problems."

Li Shiyao was full of dissatisfaction: "You don't even listen to the court's orders?"

"I don't dare to be humble! But last year, Guangdong and Guangxi collected too much because of the crooked expedition. Last year, we fought with those barbarians. We raised taxes for another two years. If they were collected again, they would not be able to live. what!"

Li Shiyao paced back and forth: "This is not possible. I am short of money in Daqing, and this food must be collected."

The tax collector looked miserable.

He is from Guangdong and Guangxi, and he knows how the life of the people in this place is.

What can I say, I've been in dire straits!
The irony is that only those southern barbarians who recruited 10,000+ people for business are doing well.

You must know that the population of Guangdong and Guangxi is as high as 2000 million.

How many people can a road construction factory company recruit!

What's even more ironic is that they are clearly enemies, but they provide them with employment opportunities.

Li Shiyao paced back and forth, thought for a long time, and then said: "I remember that many businessmen cooperate with Nanmanzi, right? You can collect taxes from here."

Nanmanzi is Chen Mu and the others.Li Shiyao didn't dare to speak of Chen Mu in person, but behind his back, everyone despised these barbarians from the south who didn't know how to be polite.

"Ah ~ Master Zhongtang, it's not right, they have cooperated very well with the Nanmanzi, I'm afraid they will find them as a backer!"

Li Shiyao blew his beard and stared: "Why, on my land in the Qing Dynasty, don't we even have the right to collect grain and commercial taxes? I'll go and tell them, they should know my difficulties."

After hearing Li Shiyao's words, he breathed a sigh of relief: "If the Southern barbarians ignore it, the lowly position will definitely be able to collect taxes!"

"Okay, you go to recruit people, I'll go to the office!" Li Shiyao nodded.

Afterwards, Li Shiyao got on the sedan chair and rushed to the office to find Chen Mu.

"I am the majestic governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, but in the end I want to see other people's faces." After sitting in the sedan chair, Li Shiyao thought bitterly.

Feeling aggrieved, he asked the bearers to speed up.

He has to hurry up and talk to Chen Mu about the taxes.

It's just that when they came to the office, they didn't find Chen Mu and the high school team who had made friends with him.

"I'm really sorry, they left urgently a few minutes ago, and they should be at the pier by now." The doorman said to Li Shiyao embarrassedly.

Li Shiyao frowned, thinking about why such a coincidence: "Then I wonder when the two gentlemen will come back?"

"At least a month."

Li Shiyao was not reconciled, and planned to find other people to contact.

"My lord, I don't allow others to intrude in my office, otherwise we will face each other with swords." The doorman yelled directly and forcefully.

Li Shiyao gritted his teeth in anger, but remained calm on the outside.

He is a majestic official in the frontiers of the Qing Dynasty, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he doesn't even understand the office doorman.

"Humph!"

Li Shiyao was so angry that he was full of anger, but he didn't dare to lose his temper at all.

After saying a few words, Li Shiyao left directly, and someone asked if Chen Mu and the high school team had left.

"It's confirmed that they are all gone. You came out as soon as they left Guangzhou on their fast horses."

Only then did Li Shiyao feel relieved.

Fortunately, these people didn't avoid themselves on purpose.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, he gritted his teeth and decided to collect taxes.

First let his subordinates find the businessmen who cooperated with Chen Mu for business and tax talks, and then organize manpower to prepare to go to the countryside to collect taxes.

……

When Li Shiyao was dispatched to collect taxes, Chen Mu, the high school team and others had already hid in a hidden place, hehe sneered.

"It's done!"

"Li Shiyao stepped into a pit, do you think he will be scared to death when he sees the surprise we gave him?"

"It's possible!"

Today, Li Shiyao overheard the news that Qianlong was short of money and tried to raise taxes in Guangdong and Guangxi. They felt that the opportunity had come.

They are going to stage a surprise for each other.

They are already qualified to surprise them!
After more than eight months of contact, the people of the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong, Guangxi and Guangxi have gained enough trust in them.

It's time to give the people a push.

Do you continue to live with your head down, or stand up and live like a human being.

In short, as long as it is done well this time, the people of the Qing Dynasty will fall on them.

The irredeemable kind!
As expected, when the news of the increase in grain and commercial taxes was released, the officials of the Qing Dynasty reveled.

A certain businessman who contracted food for the construction site was the first to suffer.

This businessman is mainly a cook, and has made a small fortune by contracting meals for construction companies in the past six months.

The taxpayers of the Qing Dynasty did not dare to collect taxes because they were afraid of Chen Mu's hard power and did not have an order from their superiors.

It is also to blame that this businessman is not knowledgeable and does not know how to make connections.

The tax office of the Qing Dynasty was the first to trouble this businessman.

After a lot of crying and bloody taxation activities, the businessman directly lost [-]% of his property.

Later, other Qing officials came over.

This businessman was literally bankrupted!

Here I want to focus on what Chen Mu did after he came here!
In line with the principle of grasping the big and letting go of the small, sharing benefits, winning people's hearts, and establishing an image.

After Chen Mu's side arrived in the Qing Dynasty, nothing but force was used to subdue the Qing government's Governor's Mansion.

In many cases, transactions are conducted in a fair and just manner.

Why are they loved and hated by gentry and businessmen, because they pay attention to rules and don't pay attention to affection.

As long as you follow their rules, you can make money under the rules they set.

Catering contractors, scrubbing contractors.Various supplies contractors, coal, firewood contractors.

There are also some daily necessities, such as clothing making and paper printing, which are all involved by merchants.

They have also established a good cooperative relationship with Chen Mu.

This time the Qing Dynasty suddenly collected taxes, which directly damaged the interests of a large number of businessmen. Behind these businessmen, there were many gentry.

Although the gentry were dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty because of the one-piece payment.

But the gentry class has always been the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty.

Because of Li Shiyao's flattery and offering, a tax collection action just destroyed the goodwill of the gentry in Guangdong, Guangxi and the area.

Many of the gentry who longed for the arrival of the Celestial Army hoped that the Qing Dynasty would die.

Of course, they were just talking in their hearts.

It is very simple for merchants to collect business taxes.

However, when officials sent to the countryside to collect taxes, there were many disturbances.

Some villages that did not work in the construction company suffered great damage as usual!
The rations at home are gone, life and death are unpredictable in the second half of the year!People in the Qing Dynasty can only hope that there will be a bumper harvest in the next season.

But in some places, the officials who collect taxes have their noses full of dust!
Because someone resisted the tax.

For example, Xiao Jian, he directly prevented the government servants from collecting taxes.

Xiao Jian had a great enmity with Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

After he received training and arrived in Guangdong and Guangxi, he was mainly at the grassroots level, guiding the people in planting, studying medicine, farming, and fertilizing.

It is now June in the Qing Dynasty, which happens to be the time to collect rice.

Xiao Jian happened to be here to teach the people how to use new farm tools to harvest rice.

When he heard that the guards were collecting taxes, he immediately stood up.

"Master, this is wrong! Lijiagou has already handed over the grain for the 24th year of the Qing Dynasty. The amount of grain to be paid is written in the law of the Qing Dynasty! You can't apportion it indiscriminately."

"Bastard, I can collect as much grain as the Qing Dynasty wants. You mud-legged people dare to resist the tax. Do you want to rebel?" the tax collector scolded.

"Master, this is wrong. We have a certificate here, and we have paid the food for 24 years, so we don't pay taxes after the relationship."

"Bold and unreasonable, you dare to refuse to pay the grain, you are rebellious!"

"You evil servants, we have already handed over the food, and you still dare to collect it. I think it is you servants who distorted the imperial court's holy will."

The head of the tax collector, Yan Shuai, suddenly turned his nose in anger: "You are so bold that you dare to rebel, kill me!"

"Humph!"

Xiao Jian snorted coldly, and then picked up the dung stick in his hand.into the crowd.

A lash with a club!
Dozens of tax collectors were beaten and fled!

Yan Shuai said with a bruised nose and swollen face: "Bastard, who are you and why do you dare to stop us from collecting grain!"

These servants live by collecting food from the common people. This bastard refuses to pay food. This is a life and death enmity.

"Xiao Jian!"

"Hmph, wait for me, let's go!"

More than 50 Qing court officials followed Yan Shuai and left in embarrassment.

Yan Shuai wiped off the blood from his nose, and said, "Let's go, go to the next village to collect food, I don't believe it, these villages dare to resist the tax."

Then, Yan Shuai and fifty yamen servants were kicked out again.

Yan Shuai and a group of guards went to the next village again, only to find that the same thing happened.

They found a big problem!

"My lord, this is not right."

"Damn it, these unscrupulous people are very likely to join forces to rebel, we must report to the governor."

These servants didn't dare to collect food anymore, and returned to the county directly with the bad news.

Soon, the county magistrate reported the news to the magistrate!

The prefect reported the news to the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

When Li Shiyao, who was happily counting money in the governor's mansion, learned that a large number of guards had been beaten back, he was shocked.

"Why, can't we collect grain on my land in the Qing Dynasty? How dare those muds refuse to collect grain?"

The prefect was full of grievances: "My lord, those mud legs said that the grain tax for 24 years has already been paid, and they have already paid the grain tax for 50 years later, so don't let them pay for the next 25 years."

"Crooked ways, when will I clear... Forget it, who will support them?" Li Shiyao knew the urgency of the group under him.

He is also inseparable from the fact that his subordinates oppressed the people of Guangdong and Guangxi in this way.

The magistrate felt aggrieved and said, "Those mud-legged people asked people from the Neighborhood Mutual Aid Association to help them."

Li Shiyao's blue veins popped out immediately: "Bastard, these mud legs are like this, aren't you afraid that my Qing Heavenly Army will dispatch to wipe them out?"

Several magistrates and county magistrates bowed their heads, not daring to speak.

"Is there a mutual aid society behind these villages? Shouldn't everyone refuse to collect grain taxes at the same time? There must be something wrong with this!"

"All have mutual aid associations to help!" A county magistrate said.

Li Shiyao suddenly had a headache!

The county magistrate said aggrievedly: "My lord, there are workers working in construction companies in these villages. They... They said that if we still dare to ask for taxes, we will ask Nanmanzi to support them!"

Li Shiyao said angrily: "Using those southern barbarians as a shield? This is taking my Qing Dynasty seriously!"

A county magistrate bowed his head, wondering when that Southern barbarian took the Qing Dynasty seriously!

You, the governor, have been bullied many times. Haven't you experienced it yourself?
Li Shiyao shouted angrily: "No, this flame must be extinguished. Someone must be sent to suppress the rebellion."

Seeing the obedient officials, Li Shiyao was extremely angry: "What's the matter, why are you waiting? Why don't you move?"

"My lord, the people in those villages have said that who dares to collect taxes with arms and use swords. They directly asked Long... Nanmanzi to come out."

Li Shiyao, who was originally arrogant, suddenly didn't dare to speak.

How can this be good?

People in these villages said that the Nanmanzi would definitely help them.

It seemed they must have colluded.

Chen Mu got involved with the high school team, this matter is a big deal!

Damn, why do they care about us?

Didn't we agree before?

In my Qing Dynasty, you must abide by the laws of my Qing Dynasty.

Forget it, when these people attacked my Qing Dynasty, they had already declared war, I...I can't bear it!

This end must not be opened.
