Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 150
Next to the pier of Hanyin Town is the Supervisory Town Hall.It's just that Jianzhen has long since fled without a trace, leaving the house empty.Lin Zhan and Ma Qingyuan were ordered to come here, so they tidied up the prison town hall and lived in it.

According to Ruzhou's experience, the management of rural towns should be simplified as much as possible.In less than ten days, the two unveiled dozens of lists, abolishing most of the previous exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, leaving only a few items.They are nothing more than farmers who cultivate the land and only pay food for hard labor.Merchants in the town pay fixed taxes and street management fees every month.Merchants who come and go, just passing by, only pay the use fee of the wharf and the toll, and no longer pay the tax in kind according to the goods.

As for the former and purchase, science and technology, personnel, etc., all abolished.All kinds of money attached to salt, wine, vinegar, etc. were also found out one by one and abolished, and the prices of these bargained goods dropped a lot.

Early this morning, when the door was opened, Lin Zhan came out to stretch.Then I saw a young woman about 20 years old, Pingping Tingting came over, with a small bamboo basket on her arm.Seeing Lin Zhan, he saluted.

Lin Zhan said: "Morning, sister-in-law. Come here early in the morning, what's the matter?"

The young woman said softly: "You two men are here, and there is no one around, so it is difficult to eat anything. I cooked porridge here and brought it to you. I used it early to make things easier."

Lin Zhan hurriedly said: "How dare you trouble your sister-in-law? We are all used to it, so it's okay."

The young woman couldn't help but walk up and put the basket into Lin Zhan's hand.Stretching out his head to look into the hall, he smiled at Lin Zhan.Without waiting for Lin Zhan to say anything else, he walked away quickly.

Lin Zhan shook his head helplessly.Opening the basket, there was a large bowl of porridge, some pickles, and two steamed buns.

Ma Qingyuan came out of the house and saw Lin Zhanna's basket.Asked: "What is in this basket? Where did it come from?"

Lin Zhandao: "It was the second sister-in-law Li who came and said that the two of us don't know how to cook, so she brought some food."

After hearing this, Ma Qingyuan laughed: "I've heard people say in the past few days that the second sister-in-law Li is interested in you. When they heard that she was nearly [-] years old and still unmarried, someone made up her mind. I also heard people say , Mrs. Li's family all support her."

Lin Zhan smiled wryly and ignored Ma Qingyuan.The two of them came to Hanyin Town to implement the government's policies, after all, they were just public officials.It's just that in this year and month, except for the officials of the state capital and the central court, very few officials left their hometowns.The people in the town saw that the two had such great authority, they all regarded them as officials.The second sister-in-law Li was a widow at a young age, and she fell in love with her, but she didn't know what to do.

As the sun rose, the number of pedestrians on the street slowly began to increase.Someone came to the supervisory hall and asked Lin Zhan and Ma Qingyuan to handle official duties.Hanyin Town is the wharf of the Han River. With the revival of commercial activities, daily official duties are also busy.

After seeing off the businessman who came to pay the tax, Lin Zhan got up and poured himself a bowl of tea.Holding tea, looking at the scenery of the street outside.

At this moment, a man suddenly broke in with a steel knife in his hand.Following behind him, two or three more men followed with simple knives.Behind them, seven or eight masked faces, each holding a wooden stick, entered the prison hall together.

Lin Zhan was taken aback.Loudly said: "Who are you? Dare to hold a sharp weapon and break into the official house?!"

More than a dozen people turned to look at Lin Zhan without saying a word.

A big man covered his face walked out from behind and looked Lin Zhan up and down.Said in a deep voice: "You two birds, took chicken feathers as arrows, and domineering in Hanyin Town! The people in the town dare not speak out, and have tolerated you for a long time! Today I will do justice for the sky and take you Dog's life!"

After speaking, he waved to the back.Two men with knives came up and stabbed Lin Zhan in the abdomen.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhan did not have time to dodge, was stabbed with a knife, and fell slowly.

The leading man snorted coldly.He said sharply: "That Ma Qingyuan was also killed together! A lot of money has been collected in the prison town hall in the past few days, search it carefully, don't go in vain! This is all people's fat and cream, how can they let them search!"

Several people sang Nuo together.As soon as they rushed forward, they couldn't help but cut Ma Qingyuan down to the ground.

The merchants who paid taxes in the town hall were terrified, and they all huddled in the corner, looking at these people in horror.The servants that Lin Zhan and Ma Qingyuan had summoned in the past few days lost their knives and stood by the wall, not daring to speak.

The leading man looked at the crowd and let out a long laugh.With a group of subordinates, he went to the prison town hall to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, took out all the money, packed a few bags, and walked away.

After a few people left the town, the common people shouted, and Hanyin Town was in chaos for a while.

When he got to a place where no one was around, Du Chaozong took off the face towel.To the rest of the people: "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly! There are no guards in this town, and you dare to send two foreigners to take care of things. I really don't know how to write death!"

Li Qian said with a smile: "It's because we looked forward and backward and thought too much! If we knew it was so easy, we should have come and killed them with a single knife! This Wang Guan has taken up many tricks after Xiangyang Mansion. This tax is also exempted, and that tax is also exempted." Except, I don’t know what he eats in the army!”

Yu Jiangdao: "The most hateful thing is that all guilds have been cancelled, and we gangsters have nothing to do. I don't know how to do business under his rule! Cut off these two pinches and see who dares Come here to take care of things! When the government can't clean up, why don't you rely on us?"

Several people laughed together, and they were all very happy.

The killing of officials and rebellion is extremely important in anyone's heart.Especially in Hanyin Town, where there is a huge momentum, and the sudden policy change, everyone is a little bit enlightened.I didn't expect that it would be so easy to gather a few people and kill them.

Just joke around for a while.Du Chaozong said: "The money robbed today is actually not much. In my opinion, there is no need to divide it. Send someone to use the money to buy a cow to kill, then buy some vegetables and a few jars of wine. Let's have a drink." ,how?"

Everyone is from a well-to-do family, and they don't take the money seriously, and they all agree.

In the government office, Wang Xiaolie was discussing official affairs with Chen Huaiyi.After finishing the official business, Chen Yuyi said: "By the way, there was an imperial decree a few days ago, and Zhai Xing in Luoyang was appointed as Henan Yin and Jingxibei Road appeasement and recruiting envoy to control the prefectures and counties."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie nodded, but did not speak.Obviously, he and Zhai Xing fought against Yang Jin together, and made more contributions.However, the imperial court only awarded Zhai Xing, and did not award himself a reward, which inevitably aroused suspicion among his subordinates.

Beijing Northwest Road is the front line of the Jin Dynasty's offensive, and the imperial court's appointment of officials in such a place has always been indiscriminate.As long as there are several thousand soldiers in hand, the imperial court doesn't mind being named a local general.Jingxi South Road is different. In the eyes of the imperial court, it still has the idea of ​​sending officials normally if the Jin soldiers do not come.Moreover, Wang Xiaolie was originally from Qin Wangbing, so in the eyes of the court, his status might not be high.

When the Jin army besieged Kaifeng Mansion, they issued an imperial edict to King Qin, and all places sent King Qin soldiers to Kaifeng Mansion one after another.However, the court quickly repented and ordered Qin Wangbing to disband.The Jin army attacked fiercely, and issued an imperial edict to King Qin.After several repetitions, people's hearts will disperse.

Many King Qin soldiers in the southern region were actually ordered to disband when they walked halfway.Wang Xiaolie's team was close to Fengfu, and soon joined the battle, and persisted.The Qinwang soldiers in the south are different. After they were disbanded, many became bandits.For example, in the Dongting Lake area, after Qin Wang's Zhong Xiang returned, he raised his flag and rebelled, with a great momentum.

At this time, Wang Xiaolie understood what it meant that the imperial court did not appoint him as an official.I'm afraid that in the eyes of court officials, they haven't figured out how to deal with themselves.For such a great achievement, there must be rewards based on merit.But the states and counties that they occupy must also be given up.After letting him out, let him lead his troops where to go, I'm afraid there is still no conclusion.

Give up the site?Wang Xiaolie shook his head slightly.The place that has been occupied by hard work cannot be given up no matter what.

At this moment, Zhou Yi, the Kongmu official in the mansion, hurried in.He cupped his hands and said, "I'm observing, someone from Hanyin town openly entered the market today with a stick, and killed the public servants Lin Zhan and Ma Qingyuan there. I don't know the details of the matter, but I have already sent people to investigate!"

Wang Xiaolie stood up abruptly.Said: "I expected that there would be no peace in the near future, but I didn't expect that the first big case would happen in Xiangyang County! And I picked the time when I rushed back from Xinye! Okay, okay, I don't understand this case, It's really hard for me to sit down in Xiangyang!"
