Zhang Qiaochun was one of the people who used Huang Zhen behind the scenes.

He is also a legacy of the previous dynasty.

Because he couldn't stand the "exploitation" of the imperial court, he resorted to this method.

Yuanwu is eight years old.

Since the establishment of the new dynasty, they have felt that they have been exploited, and the current farm laws are even more thorough, trying to skin them.

They joined forces to test the court's reaction, and also wanted to show their attitude that they could no longer tolerate it and no longer needed to endure it.

But he didn't dare to be too direct, so he took advantage of Huang Zhen and pushed him out.

Although he didn’t name himself, he put a lot of effort into building momentum behind the scenes.

Strictly speaking, they are also considered comrades!

Now that the test has yielded results, His Majesty has no scruples and directly sent the Nanfu Army.

Kill cleanly and neatly.

This is a big disaster!

"It is said that Dongyuan Hou handed over a roster before he was beheaded, and it is now in the hands of Lord Liu, the governor of the state."

The steward's words were another heavy blow.

"Master, what should we do?"

"Wait... to die."

Zhang Qiaochun struggled to spit out two words.

In fact, they all know that it is impossible for the rebellion to succeed.

The emperor was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The Xiao royal family were all killed in the previous dynasty, so what can they do?

It was precisely because of this that they pushed Huang Zhen out.

His Majesty is still as decisive as ever.

Such temptation is really child's play, extremely ridiculous!

The whole world is not the land of the king.

No matter where you run, there seems to be no way out except waiting for death...

People like Zhang Qiaochun are obviously not in the minority.

The news that the entire Huang family was executed quickly spread.

The landowners and gentry who had taken advantage of the situation to resist the imperial court were all panicked.

Some even beat up officials, and some even used Huang Zhen's name to cause trouble. These people were all punished.

In fact, the coverage of farm laws is not so wide.

The target is only those rural landowners whose land annexation was done in a wrong way.

Or the fields that have been abandoned for various reasons are brought into the farm and used to expand production and increase output.

But these people took advantage of the opportunity to get involved. This is not just seeking death...

I didn't come looking for you, you brought it to your door yourself.

The governor of the state is well versed in the holy will.

How can we reach this position without some sense of smell?

Your Majesty just wants food!

Liu Biao, who held the roster in hand, caught the clue.

As long as he is willing, he can directly accuse one of Dongyuan Hou's associates and contaminate him with the crime of rebellion, and no one can save him.

But he doesn't kill people.

He wants the land!

If you want to save your life and family property, you should take the initiative to hand it over...

The situation continued to ferment, and soon spread throughout Yongzhou.

The trend that was still widespread before disappeared in an instant, no one dared to mention it, and the three words Dongyuan Hou became taboo.

There have been cases where the participants were in panic all day long, frightened and frightened every day, unable to sleep or eat.

They all know that the knife may fall at any time.

The knife didn't arrive, but the court inspector came...

"Tian Jingbo, how much land do you have?"

Hu Guangming asked.

He is a student of Chinese studies and an inspector selected to implement farm laws.

"More than five hundred acres."

"How much exactly?"

Another partner, Ma Bing, a student from Jiangwu Hall, scolded him directly.

"Five hundred and thirty-two acres."

The two looked at each other.

This number is staggering.

The first time they came, they didn't ask anything and were boycotted.

The matter of enforcing farm laws is complex.

At the mobilization meeting, His Majesty personally lectured them, making them full of ambitions, but in practice it was not the same thing at all.

Various problems arise one after another, and there is no way to start and it is difficult to make progress.

Now he is honest.

"How much tax and grain do you pay every year? It's based on how many acres you pay."

Zhang Qiaochun hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty-two acres."

He dare not be dishonest.

"His Majesty said that even if you rebel, you still have to pay taxes."

The word "rebellion" was so sensitive that Zhang Qiaochun turned pale in fright.

"I……"

"Starting from the first year of Yuanwu, all the taxes owed will be paid back, plus a penalty of 13%. You don't need us to help you calculate the specific amount, right?"

"I……"

"Is there any problem!"

The cavalry soldiers scolded again.

"No problem, no problem."

Zhang Qiaochun responded immediately.

He realized that he was required to pay the tax truthfully and pay taxes in exchange for his life!

Otherwise, it's not the inspector who's coming, but the Nanfu Army.

Japan has been in a state of panic recently.

Naturally, I don't dare to neglect it now. It's good if I can save my life. How can I dare to do what I did before?

"Turn it over within ten days. One day late, one stone late, and we won't be here to find you."

Hu Guangming said: "The case of Huang Zhen's rebellion is still under investigation, but please don't find out about you."

This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.

"Don't dare, I will definitely pay on time!"

Zhang Qiaochun responded hurriedly.

Eight years of tax arrears, plus fines and forfeitures, is a huge number.

In the past, he would never hand it over, but now he no longer considers it.

Once he is charged with rebellion, he will be like Huang Zhen, no matter how much land he has, it will be useless...

“After talking about taxes, it’s time to talk about land.”

Hu Guangming said: "I wonder where your more than 500 acres of land came from?"

Zhang Qiaochun's expression turned gloomy again.
