Chapter 151 0148 [Send troops to counter the rebellion] Thanks to Nuanyang 1314 for the Silver Alliance! ! !

early morning.

The sun rises.

With the opening of the gate of the county seat, Linzi County, which had been sleeping all night, gradually woke up and became bustling.

In the east and west, the men yawned and opened the doors of the shops.

On the streets and alleys, breakfast stalls have long been set up.

The smell of fireworks filled every corner of the county.

Tian Laosan slowly opened his eyes, sat up from the bed in the inn, stretched himself, got up and went to the well in the yard to wash.

He is from Xinzhen Town under the jurisdiction of Boxing County, and works as a clerk in the salt shop of a large family in the town.

The new town is near the sea, so there is a flood of private salt, and the government also turns a blind eye to the private salt dealers.

I can't help it, I can't control it.

By the sea, everyone can make salt by themselves. Could it be possible that all the people have been arrested?
What's more, those officials have been fed by private salt dealers, and if they seize private salt, don't they cut off their money?
Tian Laosan's main family is the largest private salt dealer in the new town.

The master has salt, but he never buys a grain of salt from the imperial court. All the salt sold in the shop is privately made by himself.

Last month, the host family negotiated a big deal.

Every ten days, tens of thousands of catties of coarse salt are transported to Linzi County.

Because of his cleverness and deep qualifications, Tian Laosan naturally received an errand to transport coarse salt.

To be honest, today's world is in turmoil, not to mention bandits and bandits, and there are waves of rebels.

Tian Laosan didn't want to take this job, but the master's salary was enough.

You can get five hundred Wen for a trip.

This time, it was his third trip.

After washing up, he walked out of the inn with leisurely steps. After looking around, he walked to a breakfast stand at the entrance of an alley.

As soon as he sat down, the hawker in charge of the spoon greeted him with a smile: "Morning, my lord, what do you want to eat?"

"Ah."

Tian Laosan nodded and ordered: "One bowl of bean curd and two pancakes."

"Good Le!"

The peddler yelled, and immediately scooped up a bowl full of bean curd, grabbed some minced green onions and chopped pickles, put them into the bowl, and finally poured a small spoonful of stewed soup from the clay pot on top.

Douhua originated in the Tang Dynasty, and it evolved into a well-known food in the Song Dynasty.

But at the moment, it is basically salted bean curd.

Sweet bean curd is rare, because sugar is too expensive, even granulated sugar costs thirty to fifty yuan a tael, and ordinary people can't afford it.

"Use it slowly, Mr. Xiaolang, the pancake will be ready later."

Tian Laosan picked up the spoon, mixed the bean curd and seasoning in the bowl, and then began to eat slowly.

At this moment, two tax collectors came to meet him.

Seeing this, the hawker took out five Wen coins and handed them over without the yamen servant opening his mouth.

After collecting the money, a yamen servant took out a small notebook, wrote a few lines with a pen, then tore off a piece of paper and handed it over.

After receiving the paper, the boss carefully dried it and put it in the drawer.

Watching the backs of the two yamen servants leaving, Tian Laosan cursed in a low voice: "Zhiniang thief!"

Hearing this, the peddler chuckled: "Xiao Langjun looks familiar, isn't he from this county?"

"Ah."

Tian Laosan nodded indignantly.

The peddler explained: "Mr. Xiaolang has wrongly blamed them. The five cents just now are a stall fee, and you have to pay when you leave the stall."

Tian Laosan was furious and said: "You have to pay five cents to open the stall. What kind of reason is this? You are still talking for these birds?"

How can he not know what kind of virtue this bunch of pickled and slapped ridges are.

"This is a rule set by the county magistrate. As long as you pay a five-cent fee, no one will come to collect taxes. Here, see, this note is the proof. If the subordinate staff come to ask, Just show this voucher to them." The peddler said, taking out the receipt from the drawer and shaking it.

Tian Laosan frowned and said: "But if there is no business for a whole day, wouldn't it be necessary to pay five cents?"

"will not."

The peddler waved his hand and said with a smile: "Nowadays the county is booming, there are a lot of caravans coming from south to north, and us peddlers have also made some money. Not to mention getting rich, it is not a problem to support the whole family."

"It's a good official!"

Tian Laosan didn't know what kind of position the county magistrate was, but in his opinion, the one who could punish the subordinates well was the Lord Qingtian.

The peddler said with emotion: "Who says it's not? In the past, when the county magistrate didn't come, these subordinates could collect taxes three or four times a day, and sometimes they had to pay back the money after working all day. Now it's all right, the county magistrate After the rectification, this group of subordinate staff seems to have changed, not to mention how honest they are."

After clearing the accounts a while ago, Han Zhen made adjustments to Linzi County's taxation.

After discussing with Changzhi County and a group of tax collectors, it was decided to increase the commercial tax to [-]%.

As for stalls without storefronts, stall fees will be charged instead.

Because unlike merchants with shops, shops will keep accounts, so it is more convenient to collect taxes.

It is very troublesome to collect taxes for street vendors like this, and it is not easy to count.

After all, in the information age like later generations, tax evasion cannot be eradicated, let alone now.

Therefore, for the sake of convenience and in order to prevent the subordinate officials from playing tricks on the hawkers, they simply changed to charge a booth fee of five cents per booth, as proof.

As for the merchants with shops in the county, as well as the traveling merchants who travel from south to north, they have to pay [-]% of the merchant tax.

The [-]% commercial tax was double the previous rate on the surface, but after the subordinate officials were rectified, the tax paid by the merchants was reduced several times.

The merchant is not a fool, so he is naturally willing.

"Xiao Langjun, the pancake is ready."

The hawker puts a small plate on the low table.

On the plate, two golden pancakes exuded bursts of heat, which made people move their index fingers.

Tian Laosan picked up a piece, took a few breaths, and took a small bite.

The fried pancakes are crispy on the outside and served with leek filling, which is extra sweet.

Suddenly, a group of people came running on the street, both men and women, rushing towards the county government one by one.

Tian Laosan asked curiously, "What is this doing?"

The peddler was no longer surprised, and speculated: "I guess the county government is recruiting again."

"It's strange that the recruitment of corvees is so active?" Tian Laosan showed doubts.

In Boxing County, if they knew about the recruitment of corvees, which one of the people would not sigh and complain endlessly.

This Linzi County is good, and the people are rushing to apply for it.

"Mr. Xiaolang doesn't know something. Linzi County recruits corvée, not only provides a meal, but also pays wages."

The peddler chuckled, with a sense of pride in his tone.

Tian Laosan was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "How much?"

"Twenty Wen for men, ten Wen for women."

"So much?"

Tian Laosan exclaimed, and calculated: "Based on this, if all men and women in the family are called into corvee service, wouldn't they be able to earn a lot of money in a month?"

The peddler shook his head and said with a smile: "Young Lord, you are joking, how can such a job be done every day, and you only do it for three to five days every time."

While speaking, there were bursts of noise from the streets and alleys.

"The county government is recruiting again!"

"You've been dawdling so much, why don't you hurry up and answer the call."

"Hurry up, hurry up, we won't be able to catch up any later."

"..."

Immediately afterwards, black crowds came from all directions and gathered towards the county government office.

Seeing this scene, Tian Laosan was amazed.

He has come to Zi County three times, and every time he comes, he will find new changes.

Moreover, they are all changes for the better.

Thinking about their officials in Boxing County, Tian Laosan couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

……

……

Yidu County.

In the lobby of the government office, Zhao Ting was sitting upright in a crimson official robe.

There were two people standing below, one of them was Luo Sha, and the other was Yu Chaohuan, the commander of Ma Budu of the Wuwei Army.

Both are commanders of the same army, and they are all officials of the fifth rank, but Yu Chaohuan's status is higher than that of Luo Sha.

The reason is very simple, what he commands is the imperial army.

The Forbidden Army is divided into upper, middle and lower ranks. The Forbidden Army such as Pengri, Tianwu, and Longwei is the first rank, responsible for defending the capital.

The remaining two classes are further divided into three cases.

That is, the Forbidden Army stationed, the Forbidden Army stationed in berth and the Forbidden Army for food.

The garrison is a normal garrison, and it is sent to various states and prefectures, most of which are in the northwest and Hebei.

There is actually no difference between staying in a park and being stationed in a village. The only difference is that they are stationed in the interior.

Food is more interesting.

The Wuwei Army was the food embargo army. It was first stationed on Huainan West Road. Later, the area suffered from severe floods and the grain harvest plummeted.

Therefore, the imperial court transferred the Wuwei Army to Qingzhou, which has had a good harvest for several consecutive years.

From a place with little food to a place with a lot of food, this is the food embargo.

Belonging to wander around the states, begging for food.

Although the Imperial Guards in various places have been corrupted over the years, they are still much better than the Xiang Army, which is actually a refugee camp. At least it is easy to suppress some small-scale rebellions.

Luo Sha and Yu Chaohuan glanced at each other quietly, looking at each other in blank dismay.

Zhao Ting called the two of them so formally that they couldn't help but feel uneasy.

At this moment, Zhao Ting, who was sitting upright on the top, said slowly, "I called you here this time because I am preparing to send troops to suppress the rebellion and suppress the traitor Zhang Wanxian!"

Send troops to counter the rebellion?

The two were stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in their eyes.

This Zhao Ting broke his brain today and took the initiative to send troops to put down the rebellion!
Luo Sha eats his salary and drinks the blood of soldiers, and he, Yu Chaohuan, is not much better.

There are more than [-] people in the Wuwei Army who used to be registered, but now there are only more than [-] people in the barracks.

Moreover, I have neglected to practice these years. It is okay to scare bandits and bandits. Let them suppress the dare-chi army. How is this different from sending them to death?

Thinking of this, Yu Chaohuan swallowed his saliva, cupped his hands and said, "Zhizhou, the last general thinks that a moment of movement is not as good as a moment of silence. The Ten Thousand Immortals has more than [-] people, and it captured Changping a few days ago, and its momentum is in full swing. Sending troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to win."

Zhao Ting stroked his beard and said: "I have already passed a letter with Weizhou Zhizhou. The Northern Navy will send troops to take Changping in the near future. You and others will besiege Shouguang. At that time, we will be able to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop!"

"This... Zhizhou has far-sightedness and foresight, and the general will admire it."

Yu Chaohuan flattered her, and smiled wryly in her heart.

Zhao Ting suddenly shouted: "Yu Chaohuan listens to the order!"

"The end is here!"

Yu Chaohuan hurriedly clasped his fists in response.

Zhao Ting ordered: "I order you to reorganize the army immediately, and send troops to Shouguang tomorrow."

"The last general... obey!"

Even if he was reluctant, Yu Chaohuan could only agree.

Then, Zhao Ting turned his attention to Luo Sha who was at the side.

"Luo Sha listens to the order!"

"The end is here!"

"Order you to command the town's navy and assist the military guards in countering the rebellion."

"The last will obey!"
