Lu Zhengyuan's tone became more and more relaxed.

It is difficult for this rebellion to succeed. The three principals, Wang and Fang Jie, are pretending to rebel, Dong Zheng is too selfish, and only Wen Xu is serious, but without military power, he is just anxious and powerless.

Rebellion is not only harmless to the court, but also beneficial.

The common people were not affected at all, and the gentry were also investigated... All the money and food went into the Southern Dynasty treasury. Even whoever reached out, he recorded it one by one, and no one could escape.

What he wanted to do went very smoothly. He measured the land and inventoried the properties... It could be said that he had done a big survey. At the same time, the inventory of the granaries was almost completed.

It's so smooth to get inside to do these things. If you were an inspector, you wouldn't be able to find out in a year...

He just does his own thing and doesn't think about the future.

Lu Zhengyuan knew that his sins were unforgivable, and he could not be forgiven if he wrote the Emperor's Ten Deadly Sins, but there was nothing he could do about it...

How could we be here today without writing about the Ten Deadly Sins?

He doesn't ask for forgiveness, he just hopes it won't affect his daughter...

Lu Zhengyuan's proposal did not arouse direct opposition, which was not the case a few days ago.

But now there is no way.

The King of Zhennan refused to fight, but the King of Huainan was unwilling to fight.

There is nothing else to do but pay the autumn tax.

"If you pay the autumn tax, will the imperial court stop the purge?"

Wen Xu said loudly: "What is the difference between this and self-deception?"

"His Majesty will go out to reward the former army at the end of the year. As long as we pay the autumn tax, the imperial court will definitely not clear us out!"

Fang Chi said: "If your Majesty is really interested, why wait until now?"

"Your Majesty has been away from Beijing for at least half a year. How far can we develop in this half year?"

"Don't talk about 100,000 Southern Dynasty troops, we can build another 100,000 troops by then!"

People are more motivated.

This news is true.

"If you don't pay the autumn tax, Your Majesty may not even leave the capital and directly send troops to clear it up. We can't handle it!"

Lu Zhengyuan suddenly discovered that this Fang Jie was more confusing than him.

The autumn tax was paid and morale collapsed.

There were internal disputes and conflicts again. When His Majesty returned half a year later, the Southern Dynasty naturally collapsed...

This is a fact, but people can't see it, or don't want to see it, so they can't get over this difficulty now...

Even Wen Xu hesitated.

"Paying autumn taxes is a bad idea!"

Dong Zheng said directly: "We are just waiting for the navy to arrive. What else can be done to us?"

"If they attack the city, we will use the people as a threat. If they attack the city, we can hold on to it, so why should we hand it over to the court?"

"good!"

"That's it!"

Wen Xu made the decision directly.

After long discussions, we finally came to an insignificant result.

No resistance, no tax.

Wen Xu also asked for confidentiality and the results of the court meeting could not be spread. After all, they had reserved the option of using the people of Lin'an City to threaten the Daning Navy. If spread, it would probably lead to boycotts and riots...

He also specifically asked Liu Dong to keep a close eye on people. With the establishment of the Southern Dynasty, the biggest test came...

After a busy day, Lu Zhengyuan returned to the mansion.

Wen Xu did not break his promise and gave him a mansion after arriving in Lin'an.

Lin'an City was the companion capital of the previous dynasty. Many princes and nobles lived here, and there were many mansions and mansions.

Lu Zhengyuan now lives in the former prince's mansion, which is extremely luxurious.

It's just very deserted.

Lu Zhengyuan only lived in a small courtyard and a hut.

Fortunately, he was not alone. He had someone to accompany him, and this person was Li Sisi, the oiran of Huaijiang City, the capital of Huaizhou.

Actually nothing was done.

Lu Zhengyuan had a reputation as a romantic in Liang State, but not everyone was tainted by it.

He felt that this Li Sisi was not simple, not an ordinary oiran.

Although there is no evidence, his intuition tells him that this is the case...

Every day when he came back, Lu Zhengyuan would write down his experiences of the day.

It will be handed over to the imperial court in the future.

He was the Minister of Household Affairs in the Southern Dynasty, and his daily official affairs were worth recording.

This would take a lot of pen and ink, Li Sisi would grind the ink for him, and then leave voluntarily.

Later, Lu Zhengyuan deliberately kept Li Sisi around for testing purposes. She would definitely know what she was remembering...

But until now, Wen Xu and others have not come to see him, which shows that Li Sisi has not reported anything and that she is not Wen Xu's person...

Just like now, Li Sisi was behind him, watching him write down the court discussions.

Li Sisi even laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"I just find these rebellious people very interesting. These rebellious people are like child's play."

"What do you think the problem is?"

"A person without a boss."

Li Sisi said: "The three kings who governed the Southern Dynasty actually fought on their own. No one obeyed the other, and no one listened to the other. How could this be accomplished?"

"but……"

"But what?"

"If there is really a person in charge, there is no way he can do this."

Lu Zhengyuan was startled for a moment, then asked directly: "Who are you, or who do you belong to?"

"I am just a famous prostitute in Huaizhou, just an ordinary weak woman."

Lu Zhengyuan snorted coldly.

If he really believes it, he is a fool.

Since he is not from Wen Xu, he can only be from the imperial court...

"Can you do me a favor?"

"You said."

Lu Zhengyuan said: "Help me spread the news about today's court meeting. I have no acquaintances and it is inconvenient."

"You want to spread the news that they are planning to use the people of Lin'an City as bargaining chips to blackmail the Daning Navy?"

"yes."

"Can it be done?"

Li Sisi said, "Just wait for the letter."
