Chapter 89 The Tigers Enter the Wolves (Part 7)
"See it, Huang Zhizhou, if you don't make up your mind sooner, the foundation that our ancestors have passed down for hundreds of years will be completely destroyed in your hands! This place will not be the mastermind of our barbarians in the future!"
Wei Zhizhou, Jiangzhou, looked out the window and his voice was a little cold.
Huang Anming, the magistrate of Siming Prefecture, stood at the highest point in his village. Wei Zhizhou's words were stabbed in his ears like a knife, and even stuck in his heart, causing his heart to be confused.
Siming Prefecture is also a big prefecture, but unlike other prefectures, it is also the garrison of Yongping Village. The magistrate's yamen is less than three miles away from his magistrate's yamen.
A few years ago, Jiaozhi was in chaos, and Li Xu, the Quanzhizhai, died in the battle, and his troops were greatly damaged. Although he has been adding in recent years, Xu Ping and Cao Keming have never been able to take care of the place. The new Zhizhai is a small official who only knows how to collect money, which gave Huang Anming a good development opportunity that could not be found in a thousand years. He even wanted to compete with Shangsizhou and Zhongzhou to relocate to Longdong, which was full of energy.
This year, the situation changed suddenly. After Xu Ping moved Jiye to Taiping Village, he immediately replaced the Zhizhai here and added more troops to the two capitals. In addition, there were more than 260 personal soldiers in Zhizhai.
With so many soldiers like wolves and tigers around him asleep, Huang Anming's subordinates were only 300 Tian Zijia, and he could kill him with just one hand. From then on, he died of fighting for power and kept his foundation with peace of mind.
However, now, the foundation can no longer be saved.
The road from Taiping has been repairing. I arrived at the mountain between the two places a year ago. I thought I would stop during the rainy season, but I didn't expect that not only did it stop, but also speeded up the progress.
How could these barbarians know about the official affairs? They might even be scolded if they dared to ask, but they saw the sugar sugar service staff busy there, and all the people who went to see were driven away. When Huang An clearly understood, the road had already been built outside the village in Simingzhou.
The more than 200 soldiers under Zhizhai suppressed him to death. Now there is a road that leads directly to Taiping. The garrison there arrives along the road in two days, and Huang Anming even extinguishes the last spark in his heart.
If there was no "Kuoding Method", Huang Anming might have accepted his fate. It would be a way of living a life of peace and peace.
But as soon as the "Kuoding method" came, Huang Anming's hope of defending his foundation was shattered. Without servants, no one would go to farm for him, hunt and fish for him, clean and serve him at home, and serve him. Even if he guarded those fields, what's the use?
If you want to continue to have these, you have to give money to the servants and send money to the slaves? What did these Han people outside think? Could it be that the money in his magistrate's family fell from the sky?
The implementation of the "Kuoding Law" in the Youjiang Road area has been passed down. Conscience, Xu Ping and Feng Shenji did not do anything, but stipulated that people should not be forced to be slaves. As for income, they only changed the taxes collected by local officials from ordinary people under their rule to directly collecting the court. The land they originally cultivated by servants was still in their names and could be rented out to collect rent. Moreover, they can now receive the salary of the court, which is the extra income.
This scale and strength are far from the turbulent changes in Xu Ping's impression of his previous life. He felt that he had made huge concessions and felt a little guilty towards Liu Xiaomei.
But local officials didn't think so. The extra salary was dead. In the past, they used to collect taxes but they would collect as much as they wanted. Whoever wanted to manage would serve in their own homes should serve as long as they could. How could the difference be justified?
What's more, what's the use of leaving so much land for yourself? Yongzhou is originally a place with a lot of land and few people. It's like slashing and fire farming, and the harvest is small. Which one will take the rent and rent out? People who rent the land will not find a piece of open land to put the seeds of fire? That's the harvest, the farmer will be busy all year round, and once the rent is paid, nothing will be left.
Thinking about it, I feel heartbroken. How can I live the days in the future? Huang Anming has been unable to eat these days and cannot sleep at night. He feels that he has suddenly become ten years older.
Xu Ping gave another choice. Local officials could directly receive compensation, and their family moved to Taiping County or Yongzhou to completely leave their original territory. Of course, they could not choose any place at will. Those from Youjiang Road moved to Taiping County and those from Zuojiang Road moved to Yongzhou to prevent local officials from getting the money and still interfering in the place.
Among the two barbarians Huang Tianbiao and Shen Chengrong, the rich and enviable officials, also chose this route. Recently, Taiping County and Yongzhou have become much more lively with the arrival of these people.
But who are those? Most of them are small counties and caves, or even small villages. Many of them do not even have the status of local officials, but one official certificate is just a substitute for the numbers.
How can Simingzhou compare? This is a big province that existed in the Tang Dynasty. How could he bring his family to live with those little people who were despised before?
There were people coming and going outside. Huang Anming could clearly see that the road repairers of Sugar Service were busy. The road had been built to Mingjiang Wharf. It was connected by water and land. From here, it could flow up along the Mingjiang River to Qianlongdong Shangsizhou. These two places hiding in the deep mountains would have no natural dangers to rely on.
Shangsizhou has the strongest independence and has ignored the court for many years. But if the road from Simingzhou to Taiping County is open, will Shangsizhou, which is overthrown by Mount Tai, dare to be so tough?
Huang Anming sighed in his heart, he didn't dare to. Tian Zijia, who had less than 200 people, dared to oppose the huge central court, and Taiping County killed it.
Without the flag of Shangsizhou, where else can the barbarians deal with the "Kuoding Fa" that cut off their roots? Guangyuanzhou? The Nong family and the Huang family in Zuojiang area have always been in harmony. I believe that they are worse than trusting the court.
After sighing, Huang Anming said to Wei Zhizhou: "Master Wei, it's been two days since you've been here. I know that you came here with a huge risk and must have to discuss major issues. But you have to give me a clear idea, otherwise how can I make a decision? Without the permission of the government, we local officials are illegal to leave the country. If we gather together to discuss things, we are suspected of treason. This is the crime of extermination!"
"Don't say it's so scary. This is the only thing that the Song Dynasty court has done. No matter how serious the crime is, when will it be destroyed by other people's tribes? Even if it is a big mess, it will only be a life for oneself and cannot be kept from the position of the governor. But what's the point of sitting in this position with a line of "Kuading Fa"?"
Seeing that Wei Zhizhou was downplaying and just not mentioning the serious matter, Huang Anming said: "No matter what you say, if you don't tell me a brief, I will not go with you!"
"I tell you, you must keep the news firmly. If you leak a little bit of wind, we will be finished!"
"We have known each other for many years, but you still don't know my character? Even if you agree!"
Wei Zhizhou lowered his voice and leaned into Huang Anming's ear and said, "Okay, I'll tell you that some of us have set up a thread with the south side! As long as we move, we will move there, scare the court and get the current judge Xu Ping away, and we will have a good life!"
Huang Anming heard it, expressionless, just stared out the window quietly, watching the road from Taiping reaching his territory, watching the soldiers coming from this road, and watching his family business being swallowed up.
"Okay, that's it! I'll go with you!"
Huang Anming slapped the railing violently and said in a deep voice.
(It was done, but it was discounted, so ashamed.)
