Chapter 2087 temptation

"How about that family?"

"Fortunately, I didn't dare to move."

Fang Xing sighed, "I'm very conflicted. I think his family is so brave that they can't move, but they also think that they are scared and tremble. What can I do?"

Wang He said helplessly: "Xinghe Bo, you can't move around, otherwise you will be in a mess from top to bottom."

Fang Xing nodded and stood up and said, "Chen Yang must have some clues. Go to the city to take a look. At least he knows what the gentry in the place is thinking."

The two of them took some guards out of the camp and headed to the city.

Since leaving Beijing, Fang Xing’s guardian power has been strengthened. Not only are there servants, but also a team of elite soldiers.

After entering the city, I went all the way to the government office.

The streets were very lively, especially after the news that Jubaoshan Guard was stationed outside the city came in, all their worries about chaos disappeared.

So I drink as much as I drink, and the woman plays as I play!

Fang Xing and his group had a large number of people and immediately occupied most of the place. The people could only lean on both sides, but they did not dare to complain.

It just squeezed around, but it made the businesses on both sides complain loudly that someone was blocking the way for money.

Fang Xing walked in the middle and saw a quarrel outside a small mutton shop. Then a man chased him out with a bone-cutting knife and ran away with three big men.

"I dare to steal things again and hack them to death!"

Fang Xing saw it interestingly, and said to Xin Laoqi who was standing in front of him: "It's almost lunch, go to his house to have a look."

So a group of people immediately filled the shop, and the shopkeeper and chef who had just become extremely tough just now was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

"The shop mainly has lamb, and there are some beef, but there are few, and they are not very fresh."

Fang Xing glanced at the stove and said, "Make some mutton and mutton mixed food and cook a bowl of noodles."

"Call yourself whatever you want to eat."

Fang Xing sat down at the innermost table. Most of the servants and soldiers ordered noodles, so the shopkeeper was so busy that he had to ask someone to bring them to him.

Xin Laoqi brought a large bowl of noodles to Fang Xing.

There is a layer of chili noodles floating on the noodles, a layer of mutton and mutton offals below, and the noodles at the bottom are the ones.

After stirring, Fang Xing started eating alone.

The sheep's slight bitter taste, especially the sheep's liver is extremely tender, which makes Fang Xing abandon his taboos for parasites, and the wind blows away the residual clouds.

After he finished eating, his subordinates had just got noodles.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was free, Fang Xing waved to him to come.

At this time, the shopkeeper also realized that Fang Xing was not an ordinary person, so he came over with a smile and asked if he was fine if he had food.

"It's not bad, your skills are also good in Beijing."

Fang Xing praised him, and just as the shopkeeper was happy, he suddenly asked, "Are there any new faces in the city recently?"

"Yes, I have……"

The shopkeeper blurted out and said in annoyance: "Sir, little nonsense..."

“Tell me.”

Fang Xing took out Zhang Baochao, pointed to his subordinates who were eating noodles in the store and said, "It's all my people here, let's talk about these things."

Those who ate noodles looked up at the shopkeeper, and his legs were a little weak with all kinds of eyes. Then he said tremblingly: "Sir, little..."

Fang Xing put the treasure money on the table and said, "This is an extra."

The shopkeeper looked at Baochao, swallowed, and said, "There are some strange faces recently. Most of them asked about the movements of the troops outside the city, and some asked... Xinghe Bo..."

To gather all kinds of news, those who open a store must have this ability, otherwise they will have no business and will close sooner or later.

The shopkeeper glanced at Fang Xing, but the guess in his heart became more and more certain. So before Fang Xing could continue asking, he said, "Those people dare not go outside the city, so they asked questions in the city. There were three groups of people here who came to ask questions, and they gave some more..."

The businessman's instinct made the shopkeeper shut up, but Fang Xing was thinking about the matter and continued to ask: "What do gentry and tenant farmers think about the matter in Shandong?"

Fang Xing asked casually, and he didn't expect the shopkeeper to know much, just wanted to understand the people's sentiment.

But the shopkeeper had basically confirmed his identity at this time, and his whole body trembled slightly, and stood up with his hands, saying, "The gentry scolded and said that they were competing for profit with the people. The tenant farmers were not satisfied, but with the tax system being hooked up, they thought they could see..."

“Hook…”

It seems that the people are still half-believing and half-doubting about the emperor's promise!

But it's no wonder they see this way.

From ancient times to the present, the land tax has always been the foundation of the dynasty.

In the Qingming era of administration and the extra land was added, the pressure on the people was not too great.

But no matter when the tax system was, the real experiment was probably in the Northern Song Dynasty.

As a result, they opposed it everywhere and eventually became aborted.

One tax system...

After leaving this shop, Fang Xing and others left along the street.

He was thinking about the opportunity of the tax system, but he was temporarily unlawful.

Everything must be implemented after the preferential treatment of the gentry is abolished. Otherwise, the so-called one-tax system will inevitably become a mountain that weighs on the people.

When he met the prefect Chen Yang, he was listening to the report.

After a bow, Fang Xing glanced at the small official who was reporting, and Chen Yang was embarrassed and explained quickly: "Xinghe Bo, there are people from all over the country to ask if they want to... go to Shandong, and the people are uneasy. Several gentry wanted to see the officials, but..."

Fang Xing said casually: "Let them come, I will listen to what they said."

Not long after, two people were attracted outside.

"I have met the adults in Shimoda Shizuen."

"I've met Liu Yi in the lower house."

A man with a red mole on his forehead called himself Tian Jingen, but Fang Xing had never heard of it, but he was very satisfied with Chen Yang's tact.

Liu Yi's nasolabial folds were very deep. He smiled slightly. The wrinkles seemed to be able to hold a piece of fat.

"Sir, I am a relative of Mr. Liu. I only met Mr. Liu last year. Now I am wandering in the forest, which is enviable!"

Chen Yang said coldly: "Mr. Liu has retired, what's wrong with you?"

It is better to be in charge of the county magistrate. The old man Liu, who promoted Chen Yang, is now a little unwilling to be lonely, but unexpectedly, this great god is in a state of restraint. Chen Yang is not willing to buy his account.

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fang Xing, who was drinking tea next to him, and saw oil stains on the corner of his mouth and sweat stains on his face that he had just eaten.

Who is this person? He dared to sit down.

He thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Xing and Bo were stationed outside the city, but I was worried about the thin fields in the eldest son's house... If they were taken away, the eldest son would be cold behind him!"

Chen Yang had already scolded the old man in his heart and then said with a stern face: "The old man is in Hejian Mansion... he is kind. As for preferential treatment, Shandong has moved... It is useless to think too much. Go back and tell the old man that if there is something missing at home, just come to find my official, and I can still subsidize it."

This is very beautiful!

He first clicked on Hejian Mansion, which means that it was not the scope of this cleaning. Secondly, he talked about the inevitability of this matter with great righteousness.

The final subsidy is just a joke!

Everyone knows that this is a polite word, plus a joke!

So Liu Yi and Tian Jingen's faces were not very good-looking.

The mutual care in the officialdom has been a rule for many years. If you don’t take care of others today, no one will take care of you tomorrow.

These two people used a retired official to test, but Chen Yang pushed them back.

Just as they were angry, their faces were as usual, Fang Xing next to them suddenly asked, "Where are you two?"

Liu Yi and the other two were stunned, and then they felt nervous, knowing that they had despised Fang Xing.
