…

In the Central Army's tent, I discussed with Liu Qi, Yue Fei and others until late at night, and Cai still returned to his tent.

After lifting the curtain, Cai still found that Wang Sanniang, Liang Hongyu, Fang Baihua, and Chen Jingu were not sleeping - they were all waiting for their return.

Seeing Cai Jian coming back, Wang Sanniang and Liang Hongyu immediately stood up and walked towards Cai Jian. Chen Jingu was slowing down a little, but stood up. Only Fang Baihua hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not stand up. Instead, he turned his head aside and did not dare to look at Cai Jian.

Wang Sanniang asked as usual: "Have the general eaten?"

Cai still said: "I have eaten in the Central Army's tent with Liu Qi and the others."

After hearing this, Wang Sanniang stopped preparing food for Cai Jian. Instead, she served Cai Jian with Liang Hongyu to wash and take off her coat.

After Cai still finished packing up, Chen Jingu suddenly said, "General, I want to talk to you."

Cai still listened to the words, sat down on the chair, then patted his legs, and said, "Sit over and talk."

Although on the surface, Cai is still teasing Chen Jingu, in fact, Cai still has a profound intention to do so.

As long as Chen Jingu is willing to sit over, even if her identity and Cai Jian have been settled, the conversation between her is not an equal conversation, but Chen Jingu is begging Cai Jian.

To put it bluntly, Cai is still training Chen Jingu.

What Cai Jian didn't expect was that Chen Jingu hesitated for a little while, then walked over openly and sat down on Cai Jian's lap.

Although Chen Jingu's face inevitably turned a little red, her unpretentious look and momentum still felt a little ashamed and felt a little petty.

In order to hide his anger and to see if Chen Jingu is really so calm, Cai still grabbed Chen Jingu's big and said, "Now we can talk."

Chen Jingu's practice was still a bit short of that. In the end, she was defeated by the hooligan Cai Gan - she finally couldn't help but grab Cai Gan's hand.

Just this normal movement made Chen Jingu's aura weaker and he was immediately shorter than Cai Shen.

Chen Jingu knew it: "It's over, I can't talk to him equally."

But even so, Chen Jingu still had to seize this opportunity. She tried to say to Cai Jian in a peaceful tone: "Can you know the suffering of the Southeastern people?"

After defeating Chen Jingu's arrogance, Cai was still as happy as winning a big victory!

At this time, Cai was still in the mood to chat with Chen Jingu, a very magical woman.

Therefore, after listening to Chen Jingu’s question, Cai still said: “I know.”

Chen Jingu asked again: "Can you know what caused the suffering of the Southeastern people?"

Cai was still silent for a little while, and then said, "It's the heavy taxes and the Huashigang."

actually--

Huashigang is only one of the reasons for the Fang La Uprising.

Another important reason is that the taxes in the Northern Song Dynasty were too heavy.

The basic tax of the Song Dynasty was land tax, which included the rental income of public land by the court, land tax for private land, land tax for private residences in cities, shops and vegetable gardens.

In addition, there are also complex taxes other than the cap tax and various normal taxes.

(These land taxes, together with the practice of collecting twice in summer and autumn each year, have been inherited from the end of the Tang Dynasty.)

However, the cost of maintaining the administrative and military political systems of the Northern Song Dynasty was much higher than that of the Tang Dynasty and even the Five Dynasties that were claimed to be harsh.

Therefore, in addition to the official tax, many taxes have to be added, including:

He Mai - He Mai was originally a loan provided to farmers by the Northern Song Dynasty. In spring, money was given to farmers and silk was collected in autumn. Later, the Northern Song Dynasty did not release money in spring, and silk was collected in autumn, which became one of the miscellaneous taxes.

Change - For actual needs, the Northern Song Dynasty sometimes changed the physical taxes collected into other items, such as cashing in wheat, silk, etc.

Transfer - refers to the fact that farmers must transport the paid grain silk and other places to the designated locations of the government to pay. If they want to change the payment location, they must pay an extra transportation fee.

Principal money - refers to an additional fee paid when a account transaction with the government treasury. Once taxes are paid, the principal money will inevitably be charged.

In addition, in the southeastern region, the Northern Song Dynasty even more advanced and collected additional taxes on Liangzhe in the Wuyue Kingdom era - generally, every ten acres of land was levied against 16 acres of land.

Even so, because of Zhao Ji's excessive squandering and extravagance, the Northern Song Dynasty's finances were still ineffective.

This led to the Northern Song Dynasty's borrowing of taxes outside the formalities, that is, to borrow taxes from next year to the next year, and even borrowing of taxes until seven or eight years later.

Under such exploitation, the people in the southeast have suffered from exploitation for a long time.

However, the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty still worsened with the growth of time.

In such a dangerous situation, the phenomenon of greed and greedyness that originally existed in the bureaucratic system became the fuse to ignite the explosive barrel.

Plus, the last huge rock that broke the camel's back.

The people of the Southeast really can't survive.

The Fang La Uprising broke out.

Seeing that Cai still knew the situation in the southeast so well, Chen Jingu was still looking forward to Cai even more.

But Chen Jingu did not show it, but asked: "How can the general have a way to save the Southeast?"

Cai still has a way.

The southeast has become a sheep raised by the Northern Song Dynasty. As long as the Northern Song Dynasty has no money, they will come to the southeast to cut wool.

When you meet those emperors who can live, let the Southeast place rest and then slowly cut the wool. The sheep will not hurt, and the Northern Song Dynasty can also live a good life.

But unfortunately, today's emperors are frail and like extravagant and extravagant Zhao Ji.

More importantly, Zhao Ji was not only unfair to be frugal, but especially liked extravagance and waste, and was extremely extravagant. Fortunately, he was very happy with achievements. He could not let go of the curse that regained the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that influenced the Northern Song Dynasty.

This has led to the sheep in the southeast being cut off at all times, or even directly fetching the sheep.

This is the general trend.

Unless it is a shepherd, there is no solution at all.

But Cai still couldn't say this, so he could only say vaguely: "Revoke Su, Hangfa Bureau and suspend Huashigang, dismiss corrupt officials such as Zhu Xie, reduce taxes in the southeast, and allow the people in the southeast to rest and recuperate."

Chen Jingu, who was sitting in Cai Jian's arms, clearly heard Cai Jian's heartbeat faster when he was saying this, and then knew that Cai Jian's lies were at least not completely untrue.

Chen Jingu hesitated for a moment, then lay down to Cai Jian's ear and said, "Your heartbeat is getting faster."

Cai still said intimately: "Cao, I forgot that this girl is a miracle doctor."

Seeing that Cai Jian did not deny, Chen Jingu's eyes became brighter. She lay in Cai Jian's ear and said, "Can you take Fang La and replace him?"

Cai still heard the words, and suddenly pressed Chen Jingu on his leg without any warning and beat him up.

No one in the tent expected that Cai would suddenly teach Chen Jin a lesson.

Fang Baihua subconsciously wanted to save Chen Jingu!

But as soon as Fang Baihua moved, Wang Sanniang and Liang Hongyu sandwiched Fang Baihua from left to right!

Experts will know if there is any one.

From the reactions of Wang Sanniang and Liang Hongyu at this moment, Fang Baihua judged that Wang Sanniang and Liang Hongyu were also masters.

This made Fang Baihua hesitate about how to take action and whether to take action?

Just as Fang Baihua was hesitating, Cai still had already beaten Chen Jingu, then pointed to the distant corner and said, "Go there to reflect."

When Chen Jingu heard the words, he covered his shit, lowered his head, and walked to the corner and stood there.

But no one noticed how bright Chen Jingu's eyes were hidden at this time, as bright as never before. She secretly rejoiced: "He did not deny it!"

At this time, Cai still said to Fang Baihua, who was hesitant and took back his feet, "Come and sit down."

Fang Baihua was not as happy as Chen Jingu. She hesitated for a long time and still couldn't move forward.

What angered Fang Baihua was that Cai still didn't urge her and just waited for her to make a decision quietly.

Fang Baihua felt that Cai was still humiliating her. She wanted to rush over and fight with Cai Huan again. Even if she was killed by Cai Huan, it would be better than suffering like this!

But another voice in the dark said to Fang Baihua: "What happened between you and him? Are you still missing this place? Besides, Chen Shisi has sat, what can you not sit?"

After hesitating for a cup of tea, Fang Baihua moved to Cai Jian with heavy steps, and then looked down at Cai Jian.

Fang Baihua thought to herself: "Why do I have to listen to you? I want to dominate my own destiny!"

Cai Shen glanced at Fang Baihua and then patted his legs.

Fang Baihua's body seemed to be out of control by himself, and slowly sat on Cai Jian's lap.

Fang Baihua collapsed a little, and she shouted in her heart: "Why? I obviously don't want it!"

But Cai still seemed to think that humiliating Fang Baihua was not enough, so he actually said to Fang Baihua: "Cut your head down, I hate you're just condescending."

I don’t know what magic is in Cai Shen’s voice. As Cai Shen finished speaking, Fang Baihua’s arrogant head, which had never lowered to anyone, actually slowly lowered.

Fang Baihua felt ashamed. She wanted to stretch out her hand and twist Cai Jian's neck, just as she once twisted the necks of those Song soldiers.

But Fang Baihua couldn't reach out her hand, even if she ordered her hand over and over again in her heart!

At this time, Cai Jian's voice suddenly softened: "How is your body? Is it okay?"

In fact, Fang Baihua didn't understand what Cai Jian asked at all. She just instinctively responded softly: "Yes."

Cai still said again: "Then can you still serve the bed tonight?"

Fang Baihua almost shook her head into a rattle in her heart, but in reality, she nodded her head gently and said "um".

Seeing this, Cai still heard the words and picked up Fang Baihua in the waist and walked towards the bed...

Fang Baihua's heart suddenly became cold: "I'm finished..."
