Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Li Laiheng raised his brows and helped Old Master Wang show his authority:

"There are no neighbors in the army, only military law! I will spare you for the first time, but next time, I will serve you with a military stick!"

The young man shrank his neck and could only answer honestly:

"My name is Ding Sisi. I am 21 this year. I live in Hongshui Alley, Qian Street. I am four feet nine inches tall."

Mr. Wang made a living by writing letters, so he was no stranger to these things. He immediately wrote them down, and then followed Li Laiheng's example and asked Ding Sisi to wait.

Li Laiheng stood next to Mr. Wang and read his writing for a while. After seeing that there were no mistakes, he picked up another pen and a new roster, called people to come forward and started asking.

……

Li Laiheng was helping Zhu Youjian recruit troops, but Zhu Youjian was escorted by another free bodyguard, Liu Fangliang, who was deceived and lame, and gathered all the rich people in the city together.

When the rich people saw the emperor standing in front of them, they all bowed to the ground and paid homage:

"The common people have seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor..."

Zhu Youjian waved everyone to get up.

He smiled and said: "I asked you to come here today because I have a good thing to tell you."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

If a weasel pays New Year greetings to a rooster, can good things happen?

Zhu Youjian clapped his hands, and a sergeant brought in two boxes.

After opening it, there were stacks of land deeds inside.

Everyone was even more confused.

"I am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others by taking advantage of others. However, the military resources are not enough. After thinking about it, I can only rely on you."

There was an uproar among the crowd, and some even whispered:

"I just knew there was nothing good going on..."

"Cough cough!"

Zhu Youjian coughed lightly, and the rich people quickly closed their mouths, and there was silence in the lobby.

"If I were really stupid, I would just order them to be robbed. Can you guys withstand my soldiers?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the emperor's unabashed words.

Yes, if the emperor really launches an army to plunder, what can they do?

Zhu Youjian picked up a stack of land deeds:

"There are 13 acres of land here, but after checking, they are not on the county land register. After much thought, I can only sell it to you..."

Zhu Youjian had a bad smile on his face.

Of the 13 acres of farmland, less than one-third is the land that truly belongs to the whole family and no one will inherit it.

The rest are these wealthy households who usually rely on hidden fields under the names of scholars.

These beasts bribed local officials and put all the fields that should have paid taxes in the names of scholars who did not pay taxes. Some fields were even removed from the yellow books!

As a result, not only do they not pay taxes, but they also make the people who pay taxes honestly become more and more burdened!

The country is also unable to collect more and more taxes, and it is difficult to spend money!

"Your Majesty, no. My family is involved here..."

An old man wearing a black uniform suddenly shouted anxiously.

"how?"

Zhu Youjian suddenly interrupted him and sneered:

"Could it be that my father-in-law wants to say - there is someone here who is affiliated with me?

Are you going to tell me his name and ask me to find him to pay taxes?

Or let me copy his whole family? "

The old man in black shuddered all over and felt a murderous intent coming towards him.

He hurriedly shut his mouth and did not dare to say any more.

My family owns 100 acres of farmland, which has been owned for more than [-] years. If we were forced to pay taxes, it would be really life-threatening!

Rather than...

The old man looked around, and everyone shook their heads slightly.

The old man instantly understood that they were going to accept or refuse silently!

He also nodded slightly, then sat down and said no more.

Zhu Youjian waved the land deed in his hand:

"There are two thousand acres of land here. I will set a fair price today. One acre of land is four taels of silver, and the total price is 8000 taels. Who wants this piece of land?"

Wuqiang is located along the canal, and there is the Hutuo River in the territory. Most of it is irrigated land.

Therefore, the average price of Wuqiang land per mu is about seven taels of silver, and the price given by Zhu Youjian is already broken.

However, among the more than 40 wealthy households present, no one spoke.

"very good!"

Facing the cold situation, Zhu Youjian was not in a hurry.

He looked to Liu Fangliang aside:

"General Liu, I'm not suitable for business. I'll leave this job to you."

After saying that, he sat on the main seat and closed his eyes.

Liu Fangliang chuckled and clapped his hands.

The sergeants filed in, holding unsheathed scimitars in their hands, with murderous intent on their faces. The soldiers stood against the wall behind the wealthy businessman, waiting quietly.

This scene instantly stunned the wealthy businessmen.

Liu Fangliang picked up the two thousand acres of land deed that the emperor had just put down:

"Here is a land deed of 5000 acres. Each acre is worth [-] taels, and the total price is [-] taels. The one sitting first on the left wearing red satin is yours."

The red satin-clad member stood up with an ugly expression.

After his name was called, it was no longer possible for him to pretend to be dead.

“Ah, general, isn’t this two thousand acres of land?

Didn't the emperor say that it's four taels of silver per acre?

Besides, even if we go by the general’s data, the total number doesn’t match up! "

……

Liu Fangliang raised the corners of his mouth, with a ruffian look on his face:

"I've changed my mind. These lands are now worth 3 taels. Two choices, buy or not? I'll answer in three interest days!"

"You, you..." The red-coated soldier's chest rose and fell sharply.

However, looking at the sleeping emperor, he sighed and was about to suffer a loss, but who knew...

Liu Fang stood up brightly and waved the sword in her hand!

"brush!"

A flash of sword light flashed, and the red-coated soldier covered his neck, cooed, his eyes widened, and fell to the ground.

All that's left is the twitching of weakness in the limbs...

Liu Fangliang held the bloody sword in his hand and uttered four words: "Three breaths have passed."

"you……"

This horrifying scene frightened the remaining wealthy businessmen. Some even felt their buttocks heat up and the stool under their crotches suddenly became slippery.

Liu Fangliang didn't even look at the rich man in red who was still struggling. He turned to the soldiers on the side and said:

"Take two hundred soldiers and go and ransack his house for me. If anyone resists, I will kill him without mercy!"

"Order!"

The soldiers thumped away.

The sound of the soles of the shoes hitting the ground was like a death knell, which made the remaining wealthy people turn pale.

The corners of Liu Fangliang's mouth curled up, revealing a smile that he recognized as Hexun. Little did they know that in the eyes of everyone, he looked like a demon crawling out of hell.

"I forgot to tell you, this general is the general of Dashunzhi, Liu Fangliang, the leader of the left camp."

He picked up the blood on the sword with his fingers and rubbed it playfully:

"I am not as good-tempered as Emperor Ming, so I will let you cheat and play tricks on me!"

After hearing what Liu Fangliang said, everyone was shocked.

Aren't Emperor Ming and Chuang Jun sworn enemies?

Why did they get mixed up today?

They never imagined that Liu Fangliang, who had been taken into Wuqiang in a prison car not long ago, had been deceived by Emperor Ming into volunteering to be Emperor Ming's bodyguard.
