Call of Heroes: A History Only I Know

Chapter 25 He seems to be creating a very new reaction

Throughout the dynasties, the root cause of the dynasty's destruction was due to financial problems. Taxes could not be collected, the country had no money, no food, and various natural disasters. People at the bottom could not eat enough. In order to survive, they had to rebel .

When the taxes of the rich and the noble cannot be raised, and the taxes of the poor cannot be collected, such a country will come to an end sooner or later.

Although Liu Hong is stupid and likes to have fun, he is extremely sensitive to these problems.

Taipingdao investigated Yintian and hidden farmers, and began to pay taxes to the higher authorities normally, which made Liu Hong very happy.

Of course he knew about the issue of the way of peace, setting up punishments privately and winning people's hearts, these are all acts of treason and injustice.

But the problem is, Taipingdao pays taxes to him!

And the land and population hidden by the rich families, landlords and gentry don't pay any taxes!

It's all my money! ! !
The lesser of two evils.

Compared with those aristocratic families, landlords and gentry, Liu Hong still likes Zhang Jiao very much.

In the stagnant water of the Han Dynasty, a black fish suddenly appeared and stirred up all directions. It couldn't be better!

When Liu Hong was young, he believed that the emperor was the most noble existence in the world, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Later, he was lucky, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty Liu Zhi passed away and had no children. Liu Hong was selected as the heir to the throne by his relative Dou.

That year, he was 12 years old.

He thought that he must work hard to restore the glory of the great man.

But when he really ascended the throne, he found that he couldn't do anything he wanted.

Above the court, relatives, scholars, and eunuchs.

Outside the court, there are aristocratic families, wealthy families, and landlords.

Under heavy resistance, Liu Hong's power is very limited, he can't do anything well, and can't do anything.

After many years in this situation, even as an adult, nothing has changed.

The ministers still looked down on him.

No matter what Liu Hong does, he will oppose it.

So he simply gave up the struggle, just lay down, lay flat, and started to concentrate on having fun.

However, the national treasury was empty, and he didn't even have money for his enjoyment. Under the eunuch's suggestion, Liu Hong began to sell officials and nobles.

It was at this time that Liu Hong learned that in a small village in Youzhou, there was a rebellious Taoist named Zhang Jiao. He offered several precious gems and sold them for a large sum of money.

Liu Hong was overjoyed, and rewarded the Taoist with a county magistrate and an inscription, "No. [-] Township in the World!"
With Zhang Jiao's continuous funding, Liu Hong built a new West Garden.

He also built thousands of houses in the West Garden, covered the steps with moss, and built ditches everywhere to attract streams, creating the effect of gurgling streams.

In addition, the ditch is also full of precious "Yeshuhe".

This kind of "Yeshuhe" has four lotuses on one stem, and the flowers bloom like a cover. The lotus leaves also stretch out at night and roll up during the day.

Every time it was hot in midsummer, he would live in the West Garden, take a group of singers with jade skin and light bodies to row boats, swaying in the water of the canal, playing songs and having fun.

He was extremely proud of the West Garden he built, and with a swipe of a pen, he named the West Garden "Naked Tour Pavilion", and was drunk all day long.

After midsummer, Liu Hong returned to Gui Palace from the naked tour hall, and continued to enjoy it in another venue.

To some extent.

Su Che is Liu Hong's eldest brother and the biggest sponsor he can enjoy safely all the time.

So when those county guards and county magistrates in Youzhou jointly signed a blood letter asking him to designate Taiping Dao as a traitor, Liu Hong was very angry and wished to tear the mouths of these county guards to pieces.

Rebel?

Who is the traitor?

have to say.

The bribery trick has always worked.

During Su Che's first week, the targets of bribery were the county magistrates and sheriffs, but these officials had no conscience, their appetites were very big, and they were not reliable at all.

So in the second week, Su Che simply bypassed the county magistrate and sheriff, and started bribing eunuchs and the emperor.

It has to be said that this trick is very effective.

Su Che instantly became the emperor's loyal minister.

On the other hand, the soldiers under Su Che didn't understand that Youzhou, which was finally defeated, handed over a large amount of money and food, as well as the account books of the farmers in the fields, to the court, and paid taxes normally?

Aren't they rebelling?
Rebels also have to pay taxes?
Isn't this giving money and food to the court to crusade against yourself?

Regarding Su Che's decision, except for Yu Ji, almost everyone is against it, even his two younger brothers are no exception, and this way of peace is Su Che's words after all, he is the supreme and virtuous teacher, his decision, No one can object.

Soon, when the prefects and county magistrates of Youzhou handed in the joint blood letter, the reply they got was: "There are rebels in Youzhou? This horn is a lonely virtuous and loyal minister, a lonely minister, how dare you Frame him? All to self-examination, and from then on, I can do it myself!"

Such a reply made all the officials in Youzhou, as well as those landlords and gentry who fled to the city, their eyes darkened, and they felt like the sky was about to collapse.

But for everyone in Taipingdao, they breathed a sigh of relief. The imperial court did not punish them, but praised them greatly.

The great virtuous teacher of Taiping Dao was even conferred the title of Youhou by the imperial court!
The soldiers of Taipingdao, Su Che's right-hand man, Ma Liang, Zhang Xiang, Gongsun Xia, Guo Ping, including Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, were all dumbfounded. Aren't they rebelling?
Why are things different from what they imagined?

But I have to say that the vision and judgment of a great virtuous teacher are beyond their reach!
……

at the same time.

In Qiling space.

Zhang Jiao, the heroic spirit, looked at the words evolved in the book, and couldn't help being dumbfounded: "Although I know he has been doing this all the time, I didn't expect this to be the end result."

Zhang Jiao couldn't help but exclaimed, "He seems to be creating a new kind of reaction!"

"However, these county magistrates have not benefited from Zhoumu, so they will never let it go."

"There will be a follow-up."

Everything is for profit.

In the first episode, Su Che was able to call those county magistrates brothers and sisters because he paid a lot of protection fees.

Therefore, it did not attract the attention of the court in a short period of time. If it hadn't developed too fast, it might have been concealed for a long time.

But in the past two weeks, Su Che bypassed the county magistrate and directly bribed the emperor, occupying only Youzhou, which caused a violent reaction.

Whether it is good or bad, Zhang Jiao is not sure, he can only watch quietly.

"Above the court, those honorable and wealthy families who represent the interests of aristocratic families and officials from all over the world, the scholars should start to take action."

I saw that in the Book of Qiling, the text was evolving.

[At the monthly court meeting, Emperor Liu Hong yawned and came to the dragon chair. 】

[After all the officials knelt down and worshiped, Liu Hong urged: If there is something to do, start playing, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court. 】

[One person came out, but it was Chen Shi. He said respectfully, "Your Majesty Qizuo, there is a rebel in Youzhou called Taipingdao. The leader of the thief is Zhang Jiao. He killed innocent people indiscriminately, causing the wives and children of the common people to be scattered." , Countless gentry families were ruined.This way of peace is causing chaos and chaos, and the crime is really heinous!Heinous!I beg your majesty to wipe out all of them and give the people a peaceful world. 】
