retaliate

Chapter 913 Paying taxes is glorious, but tax evasion is shameful (thanks to the silver alliance of 'soot falling down sadly')

Peach County.

In late autumn, pay attention to wind protection when going out.

"Aye, I'm going out." Sun Xian's youngest daughter was wearing thin clothes.

"go Go!"

Sun Xian couldn't help smiling as he watched his youngest daughter jumping happily and being surrounded.

In the eyes of girls, spring, summer, autumn and winter are all worth joying and enjoying.

On the big tree in the courtyard, most of the leaves have fallen, and the rest are yellowish, rustling in the autumn wind, as if they will wither in the next moment.

Sun Xian rubbed his hands, the wood in the room behind him was dark.A bookcase was facing the door, and the scrolls stacked on it felt uneasy in the autumn wind. From time to time, some papers were blown up by the wind and then fell down.

Several servants stood on both sides, and two maids were tidying up the room.

“Nice weather!”

Sun Xian is going in to read a book.

In this season, the best pastime is to read books.

Get up, take a walk, have a meal, read a book after dinner... After a day of reading, the whole person is very comfortable.Have another jug ​​of wine for dinner, use the contents of the book I read during the day to accompany the wine, the more you drink, the more delicious it will be.

When you are young, you drink for your emotions, but when you are old, you drink for your taste.

A cup of joy, a cup of melancholy.

A cup of regret, a cup of joy.

A cup of lingering, a cup of anger...

There are all flavors of life in it.

Until I can't help but get drunk.

Sun Xian just wants to drink a few glasses at this moment.

"Aron."

A servant came over, "Mr. Lin is here."

Sun Xian frowned slightly, "Please come."

Today's autumn is crisp, and he is in a good mood. He is going to study and drink at home, but he doesn't want to see guests.

But Lin Qian is in-laws, and the two families move around closely, so it's not bad.

The chubby Lin Qian hurried over.

"Grandpa Sun, good news!"

Sun Xian said indifferently: "The people in Chang'an are so incompetent that they made Yang Xuan return with the identity of Jiedushi and Qin Guogong. Now that his name is justified, the next step is to attack me.

What good news can there be?Could it be that he was attacked and killed outside?If so, the old man is willing to donate [-]% of the family property as a celebration. "

Lin Qian wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, "There's someone over there."

"Which side?"

"Master Zhao!"

"Lu County?"

"Correct!"

"where?"

"Just arrived in Peach County, and I'm about to settle down."

Sun Xian thought for a while, "Zhao Yun sent people to Tao County at this time, most likely because he felt the threat from Yang Xuan."

"That's right! In the past, he was only the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and everyone can still fight against him." Lin Qian smiled wryly, "Now we are in serious trouble."

"What are you afraid of? Does he still dare to get rid of us? Get rid of us, the world will be shaken. From then on, all the powerful and powerful people in the world will be his enemies. Unless he is crazy, he won't dare!"

"But suppression is indispensable!"

"Suppression... We have a large number of people, can't we fight against each other?"

Lin Qian hesitated for a moment, "Can't resist?"

Sun Xian sneered, "Yang Songcheng and the others can fight against the emperor together. He Yang Xuan is just a Jiedu envoy, should we still be afraid?"

Lin Qian sighed, "Yang Xuan is vicious. Some people say he is a tiger, but after thinking about it for a long time, the old man thinks that tigers are not as vicious as him. By the way, the Zhao family is here, we should go and meet him?"

In terms of reputation, the Zhao family in Lu County can be called the No. 1 family in the North.

The reputation is so high that no one can match it.

Sun Xian shook his head, "If Zhao Yun comes, I will go see him. It's nothing more than a staff member in charge. If I bow my head to see him, I will not only lose my man, but the face of the whole Tao County! Come!"

A steward stepped forward, "Ah Lang!"

Sun Xian ordered: "You go to find someone from Mrs. Zhao, just say... the old man is preparing a banquet at home, please treat him to the honor."

"Yes!"

Sun Xian turned around, "Dr. Lin, please."

"Good good!"

Lin Qian looked a little anxious, and after entering the study, she called people to bring drinks.

"No hurries?"

Sun Xian calmly held a book.

Lin Qian said uneasily, "After Yang Xuan came back, I thought he would attack us first, to make an example of us! But this man kept his face, and everything remained the same after he returned. This, it's not right!"

"Why not?" Sun Xian turned a page.

"Comparing your heart to your heart, if you are an old man, you will definitely make a move."

"So he is Jiedushi, and you are just a local tyrant!"

Lin Qian who was ridiculed by her in-laws was not angry, but just smiled wryly.

After a while, a servant came to report.

"Ah Lang, Zhao's guest is here."

"Tell me." Sun Xian put down the book.

"This person is called Lu Yuan, and he is an aide of the Zhao family. He looks quite elegant."

"Elegant?" Sun Xian put the book away, "Even if it is a dog from the Zhao family, you have to pretend to be elegant. Otherwise, how can you stand up to Zhao Zi's knowledge? Please come here."

"Yes!"

Later, the three met in the front yard.

After exchanging pleasantries, the refined Lu Yuan said, "Ah Lang sent me here this time to ask about the movement in Tao County."

Don't you just want to ask me about my plans?Pretend not to move like a mountain... Sun Xian said: "Rest first, come and bring wine and food."

Lu Yuan sat down with a smile, "When the old man entered the city, he happened to see a caravan leaving the city. It seemed... very happy?"

Sun Xian raised his eyes, "Tao County will not become an important commercial center, this point, the Zhao family must not get it wrong."

The Zhao family maintains a huge family, and the annual expenditure can scare people to death.

There are many fields accumulated over the years, but there are more descendants who have spread branches and leaves over the years.

Therefore, Zhao's business scale is not small.

Lu Yuan sighed: "Isn't it just to eat?"

Sun Xian smiled, "Yes! I don't want anything from my children and grandchildren, I just want them to be safe and successful, and have a peaceful life."

Lin Qian sat on the side, watching her in-laws and Lu Yuan fight each other.

The two drank slowly while talking seemingly insignificant words.

Lin Qian was anxious, so she looked for an opportunity and said, "Yang Xuan has been teasing him all the time, so does the Zhao family have any countermeasures?"

This idiot... Sun Xian glanced at his in-laws and frowned slightly.

Lu Yuan chuckled, "Alang knows that everyone is struggling in Tao County. Before the old man left, Alang said that Yang Xuan had reaped a lot from Chang'an this time. Don't forget the good things he did in Chang'an."

Sun Xian glanced at his in-laws, and Lin Qian asked, "What's the matter?"

Compared with Zhao's, their news lags behind for a long time.

"He led his subordinates into the father-in-law's house!"

"what?"

Lin Qian shuddered, dumbfounded.

"Is it the father-in-law's house?"

"Correct!"

There was a touch of disdain in Lu Yuan's eyes.

"He, how dare he rush into Yingchuan Yang's house and kill someone?"

This time, even Sun Xian was stunned for a moment.

That is the Yingchuan Yang family that has been passed down for thousands of years!

For more than a thousand years, no matter how dissatisfied those in power are with the Yang family, at most they will attack from the officialdom instead of taking the method of physical elimination.

There is no way, Yingchuan Yang's reputation is too great, once the army is mobilized, it will easily cause an uproar in the world.

You must be very careful when dealing with the Yingchuan Yang family!
Over the years, Yingchuan Yang's prestige has been soaring to the sky with this prudence, until today, the power is in power.

But it was such a Yingchuan Yang family who made even the emperor fearful that he was beaten up by Yang Xuan.

Lu Yuan took a sip of his drink and said softly, "Afterwards, he made people tear down all the walls of the Yang family! The dignity of the Yang family for thousands of years is gone!"

Sun Xian couldn't hold back his reserve anymore, "Is he crazy?"

Foam formed at the corner of Lin Qian's mouth. After she was happy, she was surprised again, "A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family. At most, Yang Xuan died as the governor of the northern border, but he has gone. What about the descendants? All sorts of means have made it difficult for him to rest in peace underground!"

"Is this person so disregarding his children and grandchildren?" Sun Xian sighed quietly, "This person is so crazy that all the plans of this old man cannot be used."

Lu Yuan smiled, "If he wants to get the position of Jiedushi, he must satisfy the emperor. But between the head of state and His Majesty..."

Sun Xian nodded, "Your Majesty must be happy when he takes action against the Yang family. Therefore, he was given the position of Jiedu envoy. Anyway, if you don't give it to him, you are also the master of the northern border. Why not let him and the Yang family live forever!"

This person is interesting.

Lu Yuan said: "Ah Lang means that this person is so decisive and crazy, he must treat you badly."

As for the Zhao family, it is the No. 1 family in the north, even if Yang Xuan had ten guts, he would not dare to move.

Sun Xian pondered, and said for a long time: "The old man has thought about it for a long time, but there is not much he can do. First, check us for illegal things."

Lu Yuan said indifferently: "The old man is here to help, and such things are simple. First plant all those people on the heads of others, and then move all those people to remote places."

"There is no proof of death!" Lin Qian was overjoyed.

Don't say it if you know it... Lu Yuan shook his head slightly, "The second is to suppress your clansmen who are waiting in the officialdom. The old man came here to tell you to wait and hold together to keep you warm!"

Sun Xian nodded, "After Yang Xuan came back, the old man has already contacted many powerful people, advancing and retreating with each other."

This person is not bad!
Lu Yuan nodded, "Since Yang Xuan is a traitor, if he wants to rule Beijiang, he must show his prestige. Look at Beijiang, you are the only one who can be his target.

To cover up the crime, the clansman in the officialdom huddled together... After Yang Xuan returned, he wanted to use you to stand up, but he found that he couldn't find an excuse. At that time..."

"His prestige has become a joke!" Lin Qian laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha!"

Sun Xian smiled, "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your help. After this time, Yang Xuan will definitely become angry, and we have to work together!"

Lu Yuan raised his glass, "After defeating his plan, you can let people spread the word."

Sun Xian raised his glass, "Anyone who goes against the law should be ashamed! At this moment, the old man is expecting him to make a move."

"So, do it!"

"Dry!"

The two drank, tilted the empty glass downwards, and smiled at each other.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan bid farewell.

"How about staying at home?"

Sun Xian stays with guests.

"No need, the Zhao family also has property in the city!"

Lu Yuan bowed his hand, and immediately withdrew.

Seeing him being lured out by the steward, Sun Xian suddenly sneered.

Lin Qian came out satisfied, "With Mrs. Zhao's action, we can not only escape this time, but also make Yang Xuan lose all prestige. But why are you unhappy?"

"Yang Xuan became Jiedushi this time, Duke of Qin, and it seems to have a lot of glory, but don't forget, this was obtained at the price of completely betraying Chang'an. From then on, he will be a rebel!"

Sun Xian shook his head, "Master Zhao knew this truth, so he sent Lu Yuan here..."

"Isn't this person here to join forces?"

"No, he's here to recruit troops!"

"What do you mean?"

"Taking this opportunity, I want to win over the powerful Tao County and become a vassal of the Zhao family!"

"Ah! Then, what shall we do?"

"The situation is stronger than others, we can't compete with Yang Xuan just by relying on us, so for the time being, let's pretend to be a snake with Zhao."

"How do we do that?"

"Looking back, in the name of Sun and Lin, I will speak about culture and education. Zhao is the ancestor of culture and education in the north, but I, Sun and Lin, speak of culture and education alone. This means that it has nothing to do with Zhao!"

Sun Xian stood with his hands behind his back.

"Sun, never be a vassal!"

……

Lu Yuan arrived at Zhao's property, took a shower and went into the study.

Follow in.

"Mr. Lu, Sun Xian's posture today is a bit arrogant, and he is afraid that he will have a life separation with Mrs. Zhao in the future."

Lu Yuan was sitting there, with a maid brushing his hair behind him, he said: "This old man is here, with A Lang's instructions, as long as Sun Xian and others agree to stand with Zhao, they will immediately report to Jiedu in this capacity." Make the government sparse, and advise on matters of culture and education."

The entourage shook, "If that's the case, it's a done deal. Sun Xian and the others will not be able to get rid of the status of the Zhao family's vassals no matter what."

"The document has entered the Jiedu ambassador's mansion at this moment!"

Lu Yuan sneered, "That Sun Xian is quite intelligent, but he is not as prepared as Mrs. Zhao!"

"Then Sun Xian is really good?" The attendant knew that Lu Yuan had high vision, so he was a little surprised.

"It's good!"

"What about Lin Qian?"

"It's smarter than a hog!"

……

Yang Xuan returned to Tao County.

"I'll go home and have a look."

After leaving for a while, Yang Xuan missed his wife and children.

A small official came out, "Guogong, Sima has something to do, please go."

Hey!
If someone else Yang Xuan could refuse, Lao Liu... If he didn't go, he was afraid that the old man would pick him up.

Yang Xuan entered the Jiedu envoy's mansion, and when he saw Liu Qing, there was a bubble of fire at the corner of his mouth.

Liu Qing had already got the news about the Battle of Chenzhou, so he didn't mention it, but handed the two documents to Yang Xuan.

"One is from the Zhao family and the other is from the Sun family."

Yang Xuan flipped through it, "It turns out that it's all about teaching words and culture."

"Mr. Zhao's come first, Mr. Sun's after." Liu Qing felt the pain from the pain, twisted his face, and said softly: "Mr. Zhao has a think tank, and he has been meeting with powerful people frequently these few days."

"Some people say that they are forming a group to deal with your subsequent coercion." Song Zhen beat his back with his backhand on the side.

He Lianyan came, "Mr. Lang, just now Jinyiwei came to report that the tyrants were gathering and guarded. They tried their best, only vaguely knowing that they wiped out all the wrongdoings."

Liu Qing covered his forehead, "Master Zhao is hateful!"

"Don't be angry." Yang Xuan sat down.

Liu Qing said angrily: "In the past, the tyrants were quite disrespectful because you were only the deputy envoy of Jiedu. Now that you are taking over as the envoy of Jiedu, the Duke of Qin naturally wants to show his prestige, otherwise what is the majesty? Mrs. Zhao took the initiative to smooth this matter , how to start?"

Yang Xuan smiled.

"Illegal things are not just crimes like crimes. Has Liu Gong heard of it? The most important foundation of a country is nothing else, but... taxation."

Liu Qing: "..."

"The tyrants have long been used to evading taxes for many years, and the evidence is all over the street."

Yang Xuan took a sip of tea.

"Over the years, how much tax have they evaded?"

Liu Qing looked at him blankly, "You want to...but this is a common practice! Those dignitaries in Chang'an, clan officials, are all evading taxes, no one cares!"

"This is Northern Xinjiang!"

Yang Xuan's eyes darkened, "I am the lord of the northern border. I say, paying taxes is an honor, but tax evasion is shameful!"
