Chapter 370 Langlang’s heyday?

Winter is coming.

On the way back to Xianyang, Ying Xuan seemed very comfortable.

If you have nothing to do, take a look at the grasslands and wander around the desert.

The army around him had already left, and he returned again with only two hundred forbidden troops around him.

Even the Silver Armored Cavalry chose a base in Henan.

Ying Xuan needs to take a good rest before his next transfer.

Ying Xuan was carefree along the way.

Thinking about it, I don’t know how many people will support me when I arrive in Xianyang.

Received much praise from the First Emperor.

"In Daqin now, every household is not short of food."

Wang Cheng nodded, and Ying Xuan was also slightly excited.

"This winter, no one will freeze to death in Daqin again!"

But when several soldiers brought him back,

Two soldiers drove him to Ying Xuan.

"That Champa rice crops three times a year, and you once again brought back so many seeds."

Wang Cheng and others beside him also echoed.

Before he could reach him, Ying Xuan's pupils shrank.

Ying Xuan thought that this land should be his home, so he sent someone to call him over.

Ying Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

Before Ying Xuan opened his mouth, he heard this man crying and begging for mercy.

"Yes!"

"In addition, without the interference of old nobles from various places, it has already spread to all places."

The glorious but short-lived dynasty in history has taken on a new look under its own influence.

"Now the people of Da Qin can have enough to eat."

People all looked back.

Without the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, the various unification decrees of the First Emperor were implemented very quickly.

But on a wasteland in the narration, a thin figure was plowing hard with his waist bent.

The branches were plump and plump, and Ying Xuan was very happy to see them.

"The common people have the Champa rice you brought back, and they have thick clothing made of cotton."

Arriving at the southeast corner of Henan, the border of Beidi County.

Zhaoyi beside him also spoke.

In less than two years, the situation in Da Qin has changed.

"Why is there someone here!"

When he goes back to rest for a while, he will take these armies out again.

A cry of surprise.

If he hadn't begged for mercy so weakly, Ying Xuan would have thought it was a mantis that had become a spirit.

When Ying Xuan saw the green onions on both sides of the road, he couldn't help but step forward and pluck one.

This time I directly eliminated his serious trouble, and Da Qin could finally develop stably.

The reason why Ying Xuan did not go with the army was because he wanted to see it with his own eyes.

The mood is good and the scenery is beautiful.

“They have also begun to plant a large amount of auxiliary vegetables!”

What would Great Qin be like without the remnants of the nobles from the Six Kingdoms?

Just when everyone wants to continue to praise you.

"Not to mention starving to death!"

After all, he couldn't stop being excited when he thought about his longer life span.

"oops!"

Ask how much food is left at home.

Is the change I have brought to Da Qin big enough?
"I hope so!"

As for the domestic warlike army, there is no need to worry at all.

Who is that person? He is just skin and bones, just like a skeleton.

"You heroes, don't force me."

"I have reclaimed wasteland, and my wife and children have already died of hunger."

"Even if you kill me, you won't get any money!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in shock.

Ying Xuan's pupils shrank.

"What did you say?"

"Wife and children starve to death?"

Wang Cheng beside him was the first to speak.

"In such a prosperous and prosperous time, just planting a few acres of Champa rice can provide enough food for your family for a year."

"Even if you don't want to plant, how can you plant something else in exchange for something to eat?"

"Why starve to death!"

Wang Cheng looked slightly angry, as if he naturally felt that his wife and children starved to death because of this man's laziness.

But who would have expected that the man would squeeze his eyes and cry bitterly.

The thin wrist covered his eyes like a bamboo pole.

"Langlan Grand Age?"

"Where did the Langlan Shengshi come from?"

"The country fights tooth and nail, expropriating hundreds of tons of food a year."

"Not to mention the Champa rice that I haven't even seen the seeds of. I finally stopped fighting, and the land became someone else's."

"Where did this prosperous age come from?"

After the words fell, everyone was shocked.

A hundred stones of food would be very difficult for even the slightly wealthy families, let alone the common people.

Such horrific taxes are driving people to death!

Wang Cheng's eyes widened instantly.

"Nonsense, our tax in Great Qin is only one out of ten."

"Where did you get the hundred stones?"

The man cried and looked up at everyone with a trembling look on his face.

"It's a tax of one out of ten, but it can't stand up to a tax of one ten times a year!"

"You win once you fight. That young master, Ying Xuan, will take away one-tenth of the entire year every time he fights."

"No matter how rich your family background is, they can't bear it!"

Ying Xuan didn't expect that after all his hard work, he would end up like this because of his military brutality.

All the excitement he had along the way and all the achievements he had made for Da Qin seemed to disappear at this moment.

But then, Wang Cheng suddenly said something.

"Your Highness, it's absolutely impossible."

"No matter how difficult it is, it is impossible for the court to collect 10% of the tax. This is not collecting taxes, this is forcing rebellion!"

Ying Xuan also reacted instantly.

Yes, even if there is a shortage of food in the country due to successive battles.

It’s impossible to charge 10% tax!
Moreover, if it is really so difficult, Baqing Trading Company will also report it to him.

There is no news of food shortages in Changsha, Lujiang and other counties in the south.

Ying Xuan was very sure that even if anyone hid it from him, that woman Ba ​​Qing would not dare to hide it from him.

Ying Xuan suddenly narrowed his eyes.

This is Beidi County.

It is the old land of Da Qin and the territory that Da Qin first occupied.

Who is so messy?

There is definitely something wrong here.

Ying Xuan shouted coldly.

"Go forward, I want to see who dares to do this to the people in my name!"

Along the way, everyone's eyes were wide open.

On both sides of the road, there are plenty of crops in the fields.

But as soon as I saw the scattered households in the village, I found that all the working people were thin and timid.

Yingxuan and Wang Cheng went to the village to find out how much tax they paid.

No one dared to say it.

The people looked at them with fear as if they were seeing bandits.

Ying Xuan said nothing and rushed towards the county seat.

But as soon as people left the village, an old man who looked a little older sneakily caught up with them.

His turbid and cunning eyes carefully scanned all the soldiers before focusing on Ying Xuan.

Then he said something tentatively.

"Who are you? Why do you ask about taxes?"

Wang Cheng stepped forward and wanted to inform.

Ying Xuan was the first to speak.

"The prince's censor returned to the court to resume his duties, but he saw many hungry people on the road."

"Of course I have to ask."

"Otherwise, if something serious happens and I pass by without knowing it, wouldn't I be punished by His Highness?"

The old man's eyes instantly brightened when he heard this.

But he seemed to have thought of something.

"If I tell you, what are your plans?"

Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes.

"We will not tolerate it if we deal with it according to the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty."

"Your Highness is the most evil person who is greedy for food. His Majesty even killed hundreds of ministers from the Confucian lineage for this reason."

"Who dares to do this and seek death?"

The old man seemed to be hesitant after hearing this.

"If so, what if that person has a monstrous background?"

Wang Cheng already knew Ying Xuan's intention and snorted coldly.

"There is no one in this world that Your Highness dares not to kill!"

"If you know the truth, you can tell it truthfully."

"No one can touch you!"

Hearing this, the old man fell silent for two breaths. Then he gritted his teeth, as if he had a death wish.

"I know why."

"The imperial tax is not that high at all."

"The people living hundreds of miles away are completely unable to survive now, all because of the alliance between the Chaona County Magistrate and the Nasu family."

"The Su family did everything they could to buy more land."

"Raising the price of food makes the villagers unable to afford food and they have to borrow money from him."

"As soon as they borrow it, they will seize fertile land on the grounds that they cannot afford to pay it back."

"If there was anything left that was not sold, he would work with the county magistrate."

"Every time I receive news of success in His Highness's campaign, I take advantage of this reason to force a conquest."

"I just want to force the people to sell their land."

"Afterwards, all the reasons were blamed on His Highness, causing the people of Chaona County to be angry and afraid to speak out."

"But I've been to Wushi County in the south, and there aren't that many taxes there at all."

"The battle report is just good news."

"My fellow soldiers, please make the decision for me towards the people!"

After the words fell, the old man fell to his knees on the ground.

He kept kowtowing to everyone.

Ying Xuan looked extremely ugly.

He led the soldiers on the front line to fight desperately.

These people were at the rear, exploiting the people mercilessly.

Even in his own name.

Ying Xuanzhi felt like his head was swollen with anger.

"go!"

"Come with me and see with your own eyes what color the sky is in that county this morning!"

……

At this moment, the Su family in that city.

The head of the Su family was talking with the county magistrate.

"The court was very cruel this time."

“Each household and each person’s farmland must be recorded clearly.”

“Every transaction must not only be recorded, but also thoroughly investigated.”

"All land transactions must be reported to the county governor and recorded."

“If I buy land again in the future, I may be punished by law if I am not careful.”

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows and looked at the head of the Su family.

"You know this news in advance. How many acres have you harvested now?"

Hearing this, the head of the Su family couldn't help laughing.

"No more, no more. If the county magistrate can delay it any longer, our Su family will soon buy most of the county!"

The county magistrate was shocked by the Su family's words.

I didn't expect that the other party would be so cruel, and his family property would quadruple in a short period of time.

However, the county magistrate was not worried. The Su family had people in court with their backs against the big tree.

He has much greater power than his small county magistrate.

He helped me in this way just to gain that level of relationship.

Help yourself to lift up.

The magistrate smiled slightly.

"In this case, it's time to stop."

"After all, I am taking risks to help you."

"If you go too far and cause trouble, I'm afraid the higher-ups will be unhappy."

"If it ends up being that both sides are not human beings, then I will be hurting myself!"

The county magistrate's words made the head of the Su family grin and understand what they meant.

Smile.

“Don’t worry, magistrate!”

"I have already sent a message to that person regarding this matter."

“Besides, how can we let the county magistrate’s work go in vain?”

As the head of the Su family spoke, he took out a large stack of land deeds.

With a gentle push, he was pushed down in front of the magistrate.

The county magistrate looked much better now.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"I know Brother Su is doing everything well."

"Just, this upward thing?"

The head of the Su family looked at the county magistrate's finger pointing upward.

Said very firmly.

"I can't guarantee that I can go to the imperial court, but it's still a piece of cake for me as a county magistrate!"

The county magistrate was overjoyed when he heard this.

"I knew Brother Su had great powers."

"Now that I am the county magistrate, this Chaoyang world belongs to you and me."

"When I take the seat of the county magistrate, won't this half of Beidi County still belong to you and me?"

The county magistrate narrowed his already small eyes and looked extremely proud.

The head of the Su family also laughed.

At this moment, a person suddenly ran out of the courtyard.

"County magistrate! Magistrate, it's bad!"

"There are people beating drums at the gate of the government office, calling for you to come forward."

"I also have the old man from Naluyang Village with me!"

These words made both of them narrow their eyes.

Naluyang Village is a village that has failed to be purchased by force many times.

In the end, if the county magistrate did not personally lead the people, he would go there for the purpose of collecting taxes.

I'm afraid the Su family won't be able to get it themselves.

For this reason, they were still uneasy and sent people disguised as outsiders many times to find out whether the other party had any intention of resisting.

Once discovered, they sent people to beat him once.

They didn't dare to say another word until later.

Unexpectedly, this time, things would still happen.

The head of the Su family looked a little ugly, but the county magistrate didn't care.

"Why are you so anxious? I want to see who he can find to support him!"

"Even if someone does come forward, can he still be higher than that person?"

The head of the Su family also agreed with the county magistrate's words.

He stood up and said.

"That's right!"

"I'll go with the county magistrate and take a closer look at who this shady guy is!"

After finishing speaking, the two people rushed to the government office with hundreds of retainers.

At this moment, outside the government office.

Ying Xuan stood proudly.

Wang Cheng beside him asked loudly the people who came after hearing the noise.

"You can tell the truth."

"How much tax have you been charged?"

"What's the reason for taxing?"

"The censor will seek justice for the villagers and regain their innocence!"

The people coming around were whispering to each other.

But no one dared to say a word.

There is only one handsome person.

But he looked at the silent Ying Xuan and asked.

"So what if the folks say it?"

"Can you still take down the Su family and the county magistrate?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became even quieter.

No one expected this person to be so bold and dare to speak out about arresting the county magistrate.

Wang Cheng even narrowed his eyes.

"As long as you dare to show evidence."

"Why not tell the truth?"

Unexpectedly, the handsome man smiled contemptuously.

"You said you can take it if you can?"

"If you don't show your identity, no one will believe you."

"Besides, even if you have status, you can hold the county magistrate accountable."

"Can you do it in this county?"

"The hundreds of retainers of the Su family alone can keep you here!"

The more the man spoke, the more stern his expression became.

Finally, he looked straight at Ying Xuan who said nothing.

It seemed like he was testing something.

Ying Xuan said nothing.

Just glanced at it coldly.

That imposing aura that overwhelms Yu Nei, and the gaze that looks down proudly.

The scene fell silent instantly.

"Who are you? Do you have any evidence?"

The cold voice made the man freeze slightly.

He knew he had found the right person.

Suddenly he lowered his head nervously.

"Exit, Chen Ping."

"After traveling here, I happen to know some inside information!"
