Peach Blossom Song + Fanwai

After finally asking about the clues, how could the King of Han be willing to rest here, and hurriedly said: "No hurry, Ah Weng just said that the entire county is in trouble, so what's going on?"

The old man was sleepy but not sleepy. Hearing the King of Han's question, he didn't urge the two of them to take a rest. He sighed and said, "What else could be going on? The imperial court came to collect money and food, and every household had to pay.

Everyone in the room was sitting, the man was originally standing beside the old man, seeing that they were about to talk, he sat down at will.The old man had been rough all his life, maybe he was used to it, when he said it, his face was full of sorrow, but he didn't feel much anger, but most of them were helpless, but the man showed anger and injustice.

Li Sheren noticed it and turned his attention to the man: I have heard about this, the court is about to fight, and sent ministers to prefectures and counties to collect military funds.However, he paused, pretending to be puzzled, and said: The imperial court has decrees, and there is a limit to the collection. At most, it should not exceed half of the annual tax. It is still a wealthy state and county. Normally, it only collects one-tenth of the tax. Those who are poorer will be exempted.It will not make the people live without food.How did Dongcheng County harvest so fiercely?

More specifically, the official department has the number of how much each county collects, and it has been totaled, so as not to embarrass the people.Li Sheren didn't continue talking.

The old man waved his hand and said dumbly: How can we explain the affairs of the officials? If you want to pay, you have to pay, otherwise it is a violation of the law.How can mud legs bear this charge.

The King of Han was angry: Disrupting the law? Where did the law come from? Who made the law?

Their Xiao family has never promulgated such a law that does not live with the common people!

The king of Han was angry: a mere county, a mere grain requisition officer, where did he get the guts?

It is to tarnish the reputation of the court.

The old man was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Xiao, Xiao Lang, you don't dare to talk nonsense, you will be punished for making false comments on the government."

The king of Han became even more angry, and he was afraid of frightening the old man, so he kept silent, his whole body was full of anger.Seeing that His Highness was angry, Li Sheren wanted to comfort him, so he listened to the man who had not spoken just now, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Ordinary officials don't dare to behave like this, but Master Ji is different. He is the concubine's uncle of the Han Dynasty. They act like this." It was ordered by the King of Han.

The King of Han stood up abruptly: Where did you hear this?

The man looked at the King of Han in amazement, feeling a sense of fear for some reason, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "It's spreading in the county."

It's rumored in the county? Well, now, the people in the whole county think that it's her who has done bad things, that she is greedy and makes Ji Wen wantonly extortionate, forcing people to have no way out.The King of Han was so angry that his eyes were red.

Li Sheren hurriedly lowered his voice to comfort him: don't be in a hurry, the clearer will be cleared by himself.

Not comforting at all.The King of Han was sullen and did not speak.

Li Sheren saw that His Highness had stopped talking, and thought that he had already comforted him. His Highness Xin Dao was still very wise, and understood that it was not the time to be angry.

He asked a few more questions, which gradually led him to ask more about the situation.

For example, the man here is Lizheng, who is very prestigious in the village. There are more than a hundred households in this village, and there are nearly five hundred people. Lizheng's family is not bad. If it goes on like this, you must starve to death.

If it's just that, it's fine, the autumn harvest is only in February, the life of the common people is cheap, the roots of the trees, the turf, the Avalokitesvara soil, and something stuffed in their stomachs, they can always live until then. Word.

The man took up the conversation: Because of the food collection, the family is busy pawning money to raise money, and running around, the fields are a little neglected. In addition, there is little rain this year, so the crops will not look good.Half a month ago, the ruler of the government said that the imperial envoy was coming, but the imperial envoy couldn't see the uneven seedlings, so he pulled up all the wheat in the nearby fields, picked the good ones, and planted them in the field outside the city. It is a neat crop.

The king of Han was silent, no wonder the wheat field he saw yesterday was growing so gratifyingly.

The old man wiped away his tears and sighed: Those who have been pulled out of the seedlings will suffer from the seedlings, and this winter must be unbearable.That imperial envoy really committed a crime.

The man sneered: I heard that the imperial envoy is the King of Han, what a good thing it could be!

The old man was timid and extremely afraid of getting into trouble, but when he heard this, he didn't refute it.

The King of Han's face turned red, and Li Sheren hurriedly smoothed things over: His Highness the King of Han is far away in the capital, so how do you know someone is using his banner to commit crimes? What's more, pulling the wheat is an order from the county guard, and has nothing to do with His Highness the King of Han.

It has nothing to do with him? I would like to ask the next question, Master Ji is the concubine's uncle, without the support of the King of Han, how would he have the courage? The man said indignantly.

Li Sheren looked at the King of Han's expression, and explained: The King of Han never communicated with his father-in-law, let alone supported him, and everyone in Beijing knew about it.

He also said: "Since the imperial court sent an imperial envoy, it can be seen that they know what's going on here, and they are upright. Why don't they lead the people under their rule to expose this matter to the imperial envoy?"

The man was doubtful, and his expression was a little loose, but the old man panicked: How dare you? The imperial envoy is His Highness the King of Han, which is what the Fujun himself said. It can be seen that he has nothing to worry about, so bear with it. The next year will be better and the crops will be rectified, and life will always go on. Going to the city to report, I'm afraid there is really no way out.

The man showed resentment, but he lowered his head and acquiesced.

The sorrow of the ordinary people lies in this. When encountering injustice, there is only patience.
