Spoiled Concubine: The Warlord is not to be messed with - Chapter 345

After the two returned to the palace, Yun Xueyao finally put down the stone in her heart. Originally, Feng Mo wanted to take the opportunity to make love with Yun Xueyao. Who knew that Yun Xueyao fell asleep when she lay down. They had no time to talk at all.

“Hey, Yao Yao, for your sake of being so tired, let you owe me first.”

Feng Mo kissed Yun Xueyao on her forehead, covered her with a quilt, and then fell asleep with her arms around Yun Xueyao’s waist.

In the early days, Feng Mo sighed helplessly when he saw that Yun Xueyao was not awake, but his heart softened when he saw Yun Xueyao’s sweet sleeping face.

“Long live the emperor, long live the emperor.”

Today, Feng Mo’s spirit is very good. She wants to put her wedding with Yun Xueyao on the agenda, but when she was about to speak, she was interrupted by the tax.

“Emperor, people hope to reduce taxes this year. After all, there are many natural disasters such as drought and flood.”

“Back to the emperor, what Lord Li said is wrong. Although there are many natural disasters, according to Chen’s observation, some places can still be handed over.”

“What Lord Su said is just an example. Of course, those rich businessmen are capable, but ordinary people don’t think so.” Li Jia snorted coldly. He has long despised this Suli. He has a feeling of being superior. He doesn’t know the hardships of the people by virtue of his good family. It’s really angry.

Suli didn’t go through field investigation at all. Now the people can’t even guarantee basic food and clothing. How can they pay taxes?

“According to Lord Li, this year’s tax is exempted. What do the soldiers eat? Do you want Lord Li to feed the Fengchao soldiers?”

Suli asked Li Jia that they were sworn enemies before, but they didn’t officially reflect it. Now they really started a war of words in front of Feng mo.

The imperial court quickly divided into two factions, one supporting Suli and the other supporting Li Jia.

“That’s enough, don’t quarrel. This year is really bad, wars are frequent, plagues are everywhere, and how many people are homeless. It’s also time for those rich businessmen to bleed. Well, I decided to contract 60% of the tax revenue to the rich businessmen everywhere, and the government should think of ways to try not to disturb the people. If there are many people at home There is really no harvest. You can mortgage it with other things. Let Lord Li explain it to you in detail. ”

In fact, as soon as the plague was over, Li Jia came to Feng Mo to talk about this issue. At that time, she also heard Yun Xueyao say about this year’s tax collection. Since those rich businessmen always shout to do something for everyone, let’s meet them.

Fengmo’s arrangement undoubtedly moved other people’s cakes, especially the locals represented by rich businessmen, who are naturally unwilling to hand over the hard-earned money.

However, some people have heard that the poor don’t need to levy now, so one popular way is to cry for poverty.

Some people specially said in front of Li Jia, “Lord Li, our family doesn’t look at the luxury of magnificent decoration, but there’s nothing inside, just empty walls.”

“Yes, even our servants have been dismissed now. There is no money to support a large family.”

“Our family is even worse. Our daughters were sold to buy rice noodles. Sir, you should go and see the rice merchants and grain merchants. They are very rich at home.”

Those rice merchants and grain merchants were very angry. When they were about to speak, they heard Lord Li say, “Oh, you sold your daughter to buy rice noodles. Is it true?”

“If you return to adults, every sentence is true. There is a deed of betrayal here. Look.”

Li Jia took over the deed of betrayal in the hands of the rich merchant, and there was indeed his fingerprints. The evidence was conclusive, “in that case, come on, pull this man down to me. The imperial court has written regulations that you can’t buy or sell your family without permission. If you buy or sell slaves, you can go from the government instead of buying or selling them without permission.”

“No, sir. Listen to my explanation. I was wrong. I lied just now.”

“How dare you deceive the superior and deceive the inferior. What’s your heart?”

Li Jia was even more angry at the news and asked people to drag him directly into prison, write a memorial in front of them and hand it to the emperor.

Everyone saw that Li Jia had come for real. She was very afraid and begged for mercy one after another. “Lord Li, we were wrong. Please forgive us this time.”

“Come on, pull down all the people here and find out for me one by one. There must be no fish caught.”

The bodyguards pulled them down and let everyone cry and howl. Li Jia was never soft hearted.

However, Li Jia did not want to kill these rich businessmen, but wanted to exert means on them to let their people send money.

But Li Jia’s doing so is not acceptable to all rich businessmen. One is in a state of debt at all.

He used to sell rice, but because of the disaster, the rice merchant was kind-hearted and opened his own granary to help the people. Many of them didn’t want money. He pasted money inside for nothing.

But now the imperial court wants to cut them again. I really want to cry without tears.

When Li Jia went to the rice merchant to collect taxes, she found that they didn’t pay at all. She was really penniless, so she didn’t listen to their explanation. She directly asked someone to pull their family close to the prison. Only a young man, the son of the rice merchant, named Ma Le, was left. He asked him to raise 300000 liang of silver to save his family.

As soon as boss MA in prison heard the news, he shouted that he was wronged.

“Your Excellency, let me meet you. I will report the truth to you.”

Boss Ma cried and knelt down to the prison officials, but the prison officials thought boss Ma was pretending to be poor. How could a big boss of rice merchant have no food and money? They are all vampires.

“Adults are so busy that they don’t have time to see you.”

“Yes, you might as well take this opportunity to think about where you hid your money.”

“Villains really don’t have money. They’re all used up. Where can I have money to save my life?”

Boss Ma was so old that he almost fainted.

Some rich businessmen don’t give anything, Li Jia said angrily, “if you don’t give you some color to see, you really don’t pay attention to the imperial court. Come and call me until they are willing to give it.”

Then he brushed off.

Boss Ma was really hard to say. He was depressed when he heard Li Jia’s words. Before he said this help, he was pulled down by the prison officials and ruthlessly next to the board.

“I am wronged.”

Boss Ma finally dragged his half dead body into the prison and ended up depressed. The family knew the news of boss Ma’s death and thought that their family had no ability to pay back the 300000 liang of silver. They didn’t want to cause trouble to Ma Le. All 13 members of the family committed suicide in prison.

“I’m sorry, sir. The horse family who sold rice merchants killed themselves because they refused to pay grain.”

“What, there are such people in this world who even ignore their own lives for money.”

Li Jia is angry. Why are the hearts of these unscrupulous businessmen so black and white? You can’t spend the money if you die. You might as well hand it over to the imperial court.

“Go and copy the Ma family, then write a memorial and send it to the emperor.”

On this side, Ma Le knew the bad news of his family’s suicide and almost fainted. Now Li Jia asked others to copy his home. Ma Le wanted to stop it desperately. Unfortunately, his scholar had no way to resist the prison officials.

People don’t fight officials.

Ma Le came to a tavern. He could only use wine to relieve his worries. He cried and said, “why on earth? Good people don’t get good returns?”

Wang Ye only went into the tavern at this time. This time, he thought he could really pass the exam. He wanted to give his brothers and sisters-in-law some good food. Who knows that he met Ma Le in the tavern.

The two had met face to face before. They both like reading, but Ma Le finally chose to do business and help his family take care of business, while Wang Ye continued to study and wanted to get fame.

“Brother Ma, why are you here alone?”

When Ma Le was dizzy, he found that it was Wang Ye. He could barely recognize the appearance of his former good friend. “Brother Wang, you don’t know. My home is gone, sobbing.”

“What happened at home?”

Ma Le began to laugh, “why? What are you officials for?”

“Nature is to help the people and seek a better life.”

This is the original heart of Wang Ye, but it does not mean that this is the original heart of others.

“It’s funny to help the people.”

Today, Ma Le is forced by Li Jia. Ma Le remembers the lives of the thirteen members of the family.

“Brother Ma, have you met any difficulties? Tell me and I’ll see if I can help you?”

Although Wang Ye doesn’t know what’s going on in Ma’s house, when he hears Ma Le’s words, he knows it must be very serious. Is it related to those things?

“You can’t help me. Thirteen people in my family died in prison. Now the so-called honest official, Lord Li, still wants to copy our home. Why? My father is doing good day by day. During the plague, he selflessly took out the food in his home and gave it to everyone to let the victims eat. Even if he is hungry, he doesn’t regret it.”

Ma Le said, tears streaming down. Why is it like this?

Li Jia is really not human. He kills everyone with a stick.

“Brother Ma, I will do justice for you.”

When Wang ye heard about Ma Le’s experience, he felt very bad. These people enjoy senior executive salaries. Why don’t you make a rough decision if you don’t verify it?

“Will you do justice for me?”

Ma Le obviously didn’t believe it. He said to himself, “ha ha ha, it’s just that. I’m really a loser alive.”

Seeing that Ma Le’s mood was wrong, Wang Ye immediately stopped him. He drank too much. However, Wang Ye could only take him home temporarily and make a decision after he woke up.

When Feng Mo saw Li Jia’s preliminary achievements, he found that the tax revenue was not much different from that in previous years, so he greatly praised Li Jia and gave birth to three officials in a row.

After Li Jia left, Yun Xueyao came in and went to the door of the imperial study. When she saw Feng Mo, she looked up and laughed, “emperor, what’s the matter today? Why are you so happy?”

“Yao Yao, you’re here. Ha ha, you’re here at the right time. See how much higher the results collected by Lord Li for me this year than others? In the future, these things should be handed over to an official like Lord Li. It’s Suli who says and does it.”

Feng Mo was very angry when he thought of the book of civil servant Shen Suli and kept pressing it in his hand.

“Don’t mention him. The whole smiling tiger is useless. Yao Yao, why are you free to see me today?”

Do you miss me?

Before Feng Mo said the last sentence, he heard Yun Xueyao say, “don’t the emperor think there are too many taxes paid by these rich businessmen? Isn’t it normal to calculate according to the proportion of property?”

“Isn’t something wrong this year? Lord Li Jia suggested that I should let the rich businessmen bleed, so I added the number.”

Feng Mo told Yun Xueyao Li Jia’s proposal. After hearing this, Yun Xueyao was a little surprised, “will this be unfair to those rich businessmen?”

After all, the money of rich businessmen is not blown by the wind. People also work hard for their own world.

“Before, they were so rich that they didn’t want to make any contribution to the imperial court. Now it’s their turn to pay.”

“But I don’t think it’s right to seal the street.”
