Chapter 85 0083【Intimidation】

Yangzhuang is the largest village under the jurisdiction of Linzi County, with more than [-] households.

There are two big households in the village, called Xiao Yang Yuanwai and Dayang Yuanwai by the villagers.

The two were originally a family, and the two elders had an unpleasant quarrel because of family property issues, and many dirty things happened, so that they separated and never communicated with each other.

After arriving at Yangzhuang, the Yasi went straight to Dayang Yuanwai's house.

Seeing him with a serious face and leading the yamen servant archers, the housekeeper suddenly felt bad. After leading them to the living room to sit down, he hurried to the backyard to report.

"Ah Lang, the people from the county government are here."

Old Yang Yuanwai was listening to his concubine singing at the moment. After hearing the report from the housekeeper, he showed doubts and said, "Didn't you just come here to collect the summer tax two days ago? Why are you here again?"

The butler lowered his voice and said, "I don't know, but this time it's Hong Yasi who came here, along with the yamen servants and archers, I'm afraid the person who came is not kind."

"Hmph, what's wrong with the person who came here, I guess I want to ask for money again."

Old Yang snorted coldly, and ordered: "Go to the warehouse and get ten coins."

As the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to see, but the imp is hard to deal with.

If you don't take care of this group of subordinate staff, you may be tripped up at some point.

After waiting for the butler to recite the ten pennies, Old Yang got up and went to the living room.

When he came to the living room and sat down, the old member Yang greeted with a smile: "Hehe, what kind of wind brought Hong Yasi here?"

The housekeeper put down the copper coins on his back, without thinking, but Hong Yasi didn't even look at it.

Seeing this scene, Lao Yang's heart skipped a beat.

not good!

This guy doesn't even look down on ten pennies, I'm afraid the picture is too big!
Sure enough, I saw Hong Yasi cupped his hands, and said seriously: "I want to teach Lao Yang to know that the county magistrate has obtained the state government's document today, and the official ordered to collect Ding's body money, [-] Wen per person."

Little money?
Old member Yang just felt dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he shouted: "Didn't the tax be increased in the first half of the year?

Hong Yasi sneered: "Oh, if Old Yang doesn't believe you, you can go to the county government and ask the county magistrate."

"This……"

Old Yang Yuanwai was at a loss for words for a moment.

He knew that although these subordinate officials were usually greedy for small money, they did not dare to joke about such things.

Seeing this, the steward at the side quickly laughed and said: "The officials have worked hard all the way, a little money is not a respect, I should just treat the officials to have a drink."

Hong Yasi glanced at the housekeeper, and said coldly: "Besides the old Yang, it's because I'm not showing affection, so the collection of Ding's money is not negotiable. There are 530 and 690 households in Yangzhuang, with a total of 220 people, and they need to pay [-] and [-] guan, not a penny less!"

"If the payment is not complete, it will be dealt with by military law, and the house will be ransacked and beheaded!"

As soon as the words fell, the two yamen servants put their hands on the sabers around their waists.

Old Yang's face was terrified, and he lost his voice: "Even if I evacuate my house, I still can't make up more than 6000 guns!"

After the threat was over, Hong Yasi's face softened, and he discussed: "Well, you and Xiao Yang will each contribute five thousand guan, and I will collect the remaining balance from the villagers, how about it?"

There are more than 500 villagers, and they can squeeze out more than 6000 yuan.

Old member Yang knew that he couldn't avoid this encounter, so he had to minimize the loss as much as possible: "Hong Yasi, five thousand guan is really too much, can you make it less?"

His family knows his family affairs, and his family's wealth is only ten thousand, which also includes fields and shops.

If the five thousand crowns are handed over, the family's floating wealth will be completely empty, and I'm afraid that the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind.

"This matter is not negotiable!"

Hong Yasi's face was determined, which could not be questioned.

Suddenly, Lao Yang thought of something, looked at the yamen servant and archer, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Hong Yasi waved his hand: "Wait and go outside."

After the yamen servants and archers went out, old Yang Yuanwai asked: "Is Hong Yasi going to Yang Huaide's place later?"

"nature!"

Hong Yasi nodded, wanting to see what medicine was sold in his gourd.

Old Yang Yuanwai lowered his voice and said: "How about this, Hong Yasi will say that each of our two families will pay [-] guan. If he agrees, I will immediately give [-] guan in cash!"

Hearing this, Hong Yasi raised his eyebrows with a strange expression.

I heard that the two families are now incompatible with each other, and they don't communicate with each other until they die. Today, I have finally seen it.

Good guy, this old fox really thinks of anything to save money.

In response to that sentence, a dead fellow Taoist will never die a poor daoist!

Hong Yasi pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "It was agreed in advance, if Xiao Yang Yuanwai is not fooled by then, you have to make up for the thousand guan!"

"it is good!"

The old member Yang gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Go to the warehouse and get four thousand strings!"

These words seemed to have drained all the energy in Old Yang Yuanwai's body, and he seemed to have aged a few years.

Half of the family business accumulated over the years has gone, how does this make him feel sad.

Half an hour later, Hong Yasi left with more than a dozen carts of copper coins and silk cloth.

Watching them leave, Old Yang sighed and muttered to himself: "When will this day be the end!"

Sure enough, with old Yang Yuanwai's four thousand guan, plus Hong Yasi's threats and temptations, young Yang Yuanwai had no choice but to honestly take out [-] guan.

Before leaving, Secretary Hong called the head of the village to summon the villagers, and announced: "From now on, the levy will be collected, and each household will have to pay twelve guan. The deadline is two months. If the payment is not complete, it will be dealt with by military law!"

Whoa!
The villagers exploded at once.

Hong Yasi ignored the wailing of the villagers, pointed at the head of the village, and sternly said, "You will keep an eye on this matter. If any villagers escape, you are the only one to ask!"

After that, he led the yamen servant Archer and left the village with ten thousand coins.

……

Not every village is so smooth, such as Xiaodong Village.

There are no landlords and wealthy households in Xiaodong Village, or there used to be, but the families have been ruined by the Yaqian.

The Lu family is an example. In the early years, the family used to be a small landlord with a prosperous life, but now the family only lives on a dozen acres of dry land.

There are no landlords and wealthy households to share the bulk, so all the money naturally falls on the villagers.

Three thousand eight hundred Wen per person, a full six pennies, where can they get it?

For a moment, the villagers were furious and surrounded the tax collectors and archers.

"I just paid the summer tax, and now I have a little money, what is it?"

"One person's six pennies, how can we get it!"

"That's right, isn't this forcing us to die?"

"..."

Seeing the villagers getting more and more excited, the tax collector swallowed his saliva, and said sternly, "Are you waiting for the troublesome people to rebel?"

For a while, the villagers suddenly died down.

The four brothers of the Lu family, who were usually domineering and domineering, huddled in the crowd and kept silent.

rebel!

These two words completely shocked the villagers.

Seeing this, the tax collector's eyes flashed a glint of complacency.

The Lichang sighed and said in a sad voice: "Grandpa, we really don't have any money. Each person has six pennies, and the whole family has twenty or thirty pennies. We can't even get it together."

"That's what you're waiting for. It's nothing to do with me. If you can't get the money after two months, you will be dealt with by military law. If you dare to escape, the whole village will be punished!"

The tax collector snorted coldly, and then led the archers away in a swaggering manner, leaving behind the villagers who looked at each other in blank dismay.

I don't know how long it took before a villager said, "Li Zhang, what should we do?"

"What else can I do, sell the fields to raise money."

The head of the village smiled wryly, and then warned: "Everyone, don't run away. If you run away alone, our whole village will suffer."

However, no one responded, and hundreds of villagers dispersed with their own thoughts.
