However, this is a happy festival.

Merchants from various states seemed to have discussed this matter long ago.

In various parts of Daliang, there was a movement against the imperial court's policy of "equalizing the land tax and tax by land".

At the same time, Duke Xun, who was in southern Yizhou on the pretext of visiting his relatives, supported Emperor Chunzong, raised the banner of restoring order, and led his troops to rebel!

Yizhou originally had a garrison of 100,000 troops, and earlier 80,000 of them were sent to support Liangzhou.

Although they were trapped in Xining for a while, the Liangzhou Army came back to help them. Now they are on their way to Yumen...

For a time, the rebels were like a group of unstoppable forces.

And there is no need to prepare food and fodder on your own, as merchants from various cities along the way will voluntarily surrender and send food.

Every time they entered a city, the rebels would exaggerate and distort the policy of "spreading the tax on each acre" and spread propaganda, arousing countless public indignation.

Anyone who raised doubts loudly was beheaded in public!

Even the urgent military report sent 800 miles north was ambushed by merchants...

Outside Jun County, in a tea house, another secret chamber of commerce was held.

"We have to pay for the wooden rails to be laid, that's all."

"Now the tax money has to be paid into the fields. The imperial court is really wishful thinking. They are making all the profits for themselves."

"Hahahaha, that's right. I used to think that Marquis Jiangling was pretty good. He came up with all kinds of strategies to benefit business."

"In the final analysis, the Xie family is a nouveau riche family, so they don't have enough foundation! They still have to think about the peasants!"

Landlord Yang leaned on the sandalwood Arhat bed, playing with the jade walnut in his hand, and said lazily: "What a pity."

"Our Marquis Jiangling is so considerate of the peasants."

"Those fools were fooled into being lost with just a few words."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.

"He is a young boy, young and frivolous. He is used to having everything go his way and thinks that everyone in the world has to obey his wishes."

"Let's give him a big loss this time. Besides, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. I think Duke Xun is not bad either!"

"At least they have been a real noble family for nearly two hundred years. They would never think of attacking their own people."

What are our own people? They are people who share common interests...

"That's right. Besides, in the past, during the famine, the peasants sold their children."

"It was us who paid for the mansion and bought their land, so they didn't starve to death on the streets and have no descendants."

“Now the Tian Gang is on the other side, the poorer they are, the more they take advantage. What a joke!”

……

Xie Yuheng and others knew nothing about the chaos within Daliang.

Since leaving Yumen Pass, I have been traveling every day, and the scenery outside the Great Wall is so beautiful that I am sick of it!

But... during meals, or when camping and resting, Ye Cen could always see Xie Yuheng painting.

Once again, when they were setting up camp in the evening, she couldn't help but ask, "My Lord, did you make these paintings with the intention of returning to the capital and publishing them in the Beijing newspaper?"

Xie Yuheng's eyebrows were gentle, and his voice was clear and smooth, "No, I painted it for the prince to see."

"That little guy has never left the palace since he was born."

"I always want to see the gentleness of the south of the Yangtze River and the flying sandstorms outside the Great Wall."

The boy's fingers were well-defined and white like jade.

He wrote and talked at the same time, completely unperturbed by the outside world.

Ye Cen blinked and sighed, "I think when the Marquis gets married and becomes a father, he will definitely love his children very much."

Xie Yuheng paused for a moment, "Miss Ye is joking. Parents all love their children."

"Chijijiji!" Do you believe what you said?
