There were already many tenants who were skeptical of Sun Guicheng's words - it was not that Sun Guicheng was not sincere and detailed enough, but that the Ming government left too bad impression on the people in the past.

Now when I heard the doubts of some two people, many tenants nodded and thought it made sense.

In the past, the Upper Field Court, who planted rice, collected nearly one stone of grain per mu. How could it be turned into half a stone at once?

Even if Your Majesty is kind now, it is impossible to be kind enough, right?

Some of the tenants had suffered great losses in the local governments or were closely related to the Duke's Mansion. At this time, they also questioned and spoke.

A tenant who was looking at the fifty or sixty years old said, "Young man, you don't settle the accounts like that."

We may really pay more rent to the Duke's Mansion than to pay taxes. However, with the Duke's protection, no one dares to bully us, and the service and miscellaneous taxes that are levied on us are also less.

If you lose the identity of a tenant from the country, who knows how you will struggle when you come to collect taxes? It is said that you will collect half a stone, but maybe you will actually collect one stone."

After hearing this, many tenants nodded, thinking that it made sense.

Seeing this, Sun Guicheng asked, "What do you call this old man?"

The old tenant's head shrank and fell into the crowd.

Gu Erhu said, "His name is Gu Changgen, and his granddaughter is the eighth concubine of the manager of Xu Da, Tianzhuang."

"Gu Erhu, you don't want to stay in Tangxi anymore, right?" Gu Changgen glared at Gu Erhu.

When Sun Guicheng heard this, he sneered, suppressed the crowd with a loudspeaker, and said, "You said that the people in the government bully you, is it good for the manager of the Tianzhuang to treat you well? I'm afraid there are many bullyings, right?

Now Your Majesty has implemented a new policy to severely punish corrupt officials and clean up the whole country. You may not know that you stay in this countryside, but as long as you go to Nanjing City, you will know that no official dares to oppress the people at will.

As for whether the land tax is true or false, there are always self-cultivated farmers nearby? You will be clear if you ask."

When Sun Guicheng and the Qingzhang Commissioner were trained, they knew that many rural people stayed in the village for many years, and at most they went to the town to go to the market, and there were very few opportunities to enter the city.

Therefore, they felt very slow about the changes in the world, and most of them thought that the Ming Dynasty was as dark as before.

This time they went to the countryside and wanted to explain the new policy clearly, they needed to tell the people that the Ming Dynasty was reborn and that the upper class was no longer as dark as before.

After hearing Sun Guicheng's words, a considerable number of tenants fell into thinking again.

They are indeed ignorant and ignorant, but they do not mean that they do not have their own thoughts.

They can feel good or bad.

But at this moment, another sarcastic voice sounded in the crowd, "It sounds pretty good. Who knows what you guys do? Maybe they just want to ask us for benefits through Qingzhang's reasons."

"That's right," someone answered, "Give me the benefits, calculate the land if you don't give me the benefits; if you don't give me the benefits, you will definitely calculate the more. We are living a good life now, why should we make trouble with you?"

As the captain of Qingzhang Team, Li Liang changed into the clothes of ordinary people before entering Tangxi, and mixed into the crowd to look at the tenants.

He was destined to be with Xu Changyuan and others. Therefore, when he saw someone clamoring among the tenants from time to time and sang against Sun Guicheng, he knew there was something wrong.

At this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of one of them talking, he finally touched his side, used the grappling skills he learned during training to twist his arm and control the man.

"Ah! What are you doing?!"

The man who was controlled by Li Liang struggled after being shocked, but his arm hurts when he moves, and even if he has the strength, it is difficult to exert it.

This incident caused the surrounding tenants to disperse immediately.

Because they did not know Li Liang, and the man Li Liang arrested was Xu Changyuan's entourage. As a traitor, this man helped Xu Changyuan bully the tenants many times, and even did more evil in private than Xu Changyuan.

Of course, the tenants will not help such a person.

However, as soon as the tenants dispersed, the other followers brought by Xu Changyuan saw it.

Although these people are all friends, they are loyal, especially when they don’t know that danger is coming. After all, Li Liang is dressed up by ordinary people at this time, and no one immediately thinks of Commissioner Qingzhang.

“Bold!”

"You actually dare to make trouble in the Duke of Wei's countryside. Are you tired of living?"

"Don't let go!"

“···”

Xu Changyuan's followers scolded him and rushed towards Li Liang, preparing to bully the few as usual, and teach this stranger who came out of nowhere as he did.

Xu Changyuan also looked here, subconsciously feeling something was wrong.

Suddenly, he noticed that under Li Liang's robe was wearing indigo blue trousers similar to Commissioner Qingzhang, but he didn't have leggings, so he immediately guessed something.

"stop···"

As soon as Xu Changyuan shouted, he saw the imperial guards outside the crowd moving.

More than a dozen people rushed over, but the knife was not out of the sheath, and stopped the dozen people rushing towards Li Liang and smashed them hard.

Although Xu Changyuan's entourage practices some fist, foot, stick and stick skills on weekdays, is there an opponent of the Imperial Guard who fought from the sea of ​​blood?

In less than ten breaths, more than a dozen people were all hit on the ground.

Some were unconscious, some were hurt and screaming, and some were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, all of them were captured!

Xu Changyuan had never passed through such a situation. He felt that it was not good and subconsciously wanted to escape.

As a result, he turned around and ran out for more than ten steps, and heard a gunshot.

A lead bullet hit him about two steps. Although the dust splashed was very small, Xu Changyuan was so scared that he fell to the ground with a pounce and cried, "June Jun! June June, please spare me!"

The Imperial Guards took action, and the gunshots made the tenants panic and wanted to flee in all directions.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Guicheng quickly took the loudspeaker and shouted, "Don't be afraid, fellow villagers, the Imperial Guards will only deal with those who obstruct Qingzhang, and will never implicate innocent people!"

Sun Guicheng shouted several times, and he was at home again, so he could run away and the monk could not run away from the temple. After a while of panic, the tenants calmed down when they saw that the Imperial Guards did not hurt others.

However, at this time, many people had already hid home, and less than half of the tenants who were still at the entrance of the village were still there.

Seeing that Yang Qianniu caught Xu Changyuan, Sun Guicheng couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "I said Captain Yang, just catch a farm manager. Is it necessary to shoot? Look, the people were almost scared away."

Yang Qianniu also realized his mistake and said embarrassedly: "I just saw this guy running away, and I was anxious and fired the shot."

At this time, Li Liang also came over and said, "Don't say that there are so many useless things, you can talk more and call the people back. This afternoon, we must know the people of Xitang no matter what, the new policy on land tax is for them.

It's very beneficial."

The Qingzhang Team and Yang Qianniu's Imperial Guards were in a cooperative relationship, so Sun Guicheng could only complain about Yang Qianniu and said nothing else. After hearing Li Liang's words, he went to beat the gong and shout.

Re-summon the people of Xitang.

Perhaps it was the Imperial Guards' actions and the gunshot that made the people realize that this group of people really represented the court, and that the majesty should not be offended and the emperor's orders should not be disobeyed.

Sun Guicheng only shouted once or twice with a loudspeaker. The people who were hiding home came to the entrance of the village again. Hearing the team of Qingzhang continued to preach the new policy of land tax such as clearing the land acres and raising the acres...
