"Hurry up, collect taxes." A tax collector shouted loudly.An old-fashioned musket was slung around his waist. This kind of musket was still a flintlock. This level of musket was very cheap and belonged to an early model musket.This is Yan Jun's retired product.Since it was impossible to get a good price for disposing of it, the people of Yan State allocated it to the tax department.Tax collectors changed the history of carrying knives, and changed to this kind of outfit with guns. This kind of musket is for those big households, and the rich are scared to change it, but it is useful for ordinary people.
"Didn't you hand it over an hour ago?" An old charcoal seller asked in a low voice.
"An hour ago, you were still gnawing on a piece of hard biscuit. When the time comes, you will stop eating?" the tax collector asked impatiently.
"Stop talking nonsense and bring the money. Hurry up." The tax collector stretched out his hand impatiently.
"But, my lord, I, I have no money." The old man said with some embarrassment.
"Really. Look at this charcoal. I haven't sold it all day. It's really not good. I still gave you my meal money this morning." The old man said embarrassingly that ∠Weng sold charcoal, Big smoke.Because of the relationship with the railway, the people of Yan State generally use coal transported from Zhao State.Rich families use briquettes. There are heating equipment installed in noble families, but there are few.This charcoal is only sold by poor families, but there is not much difference between charcoal and coal. Charcoal is mainly cheap and has the advantage of low transportation costs, but selling charcoal does not make much money, because the people who buy it do not have How much money, so the old man can't make money in Yandu, and the charcoal can't be sold.
"It doesn't matter. This is the tax paid by the Yan Kingdom." The tax collector said with a thumbs up.
"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, and bring it." The tax collector shouted loudly at this time.
"But, I, I really have no money." The old man said embarrassingly.
"You are such an old man." As he said that, the tax collector kicked a basket of charcoal to the ground.
"You old bastard, I'll arrest you for hard labor." As he spoke, the tax collector was about to arrest the old man.Tax collectors look down on things like charcoal, the smoke is heavy and choking, and the old man’s charcoal is made by his own family, so it must not be useful. In order to complete his task, the tax collectors can only arrest him and lock him up , and then send him to the engineering project, maybe he can earn a little money, subsidize the tax, and get a so-called past fee.That's what the tax collector thought.Talking about arresting the old man.
"I have no money, don't arrest me." The old man begged.But it didn't work at all.The tax collector still started to catch them, and he didn't care at all, anyway, his business was like this.There are not a few people who do this.
"Hey, this guy's." The people next to him pointed out one after another, but none of them got started. They were afraid. They were all doing small business. What is said in the past is said in the past.I can only do this myself.
"Damn it, you old man. I'm getting impatient." The old man struggled and was unwilling to go.
As he spoke, the tax collector drew out his musket and pointed it at the old man's head.
"I'm telling you, old man, you'd better follow me, or I'll make a hole in your head and let your dick pop out." The tax collector said impatiently.
"But, this." The old man was a little scared.He knew the power of muskets, once he was hit.There is no chance of survival at all.
"Oh." The old man sighed.
"Boom." The tax collector hit the opponent with the body of his gun at once.
"Stop the fucking nonsense. Come on," the tax collector cursed.But the old man's head was punched out, and blood flowed out continuously.The people around saw it one after another, but kept dragging, feeling terrible, but no one came up to speak.
"Damn it." At this moment, a stout middle-aged man kicked the tax collector.The tax collector was kicked to the ground.
"Are you a fucking human? Don't you have parents?" The middle-aged man scolded angrily.
"It's not a thing, bastard, bastard. I'll kill you bastard." The middle-aged man cursed and kicked the tax collector's chest.
"Come on. Hit this bastard and kill him." Some angry Yan people saw the tax collector being knocked to the ground, and then stepped forward to kick them hard to vent their dissatisfaction. They have long been dissatisfied with the tax collector. .They kept causing trouble and took the opportunity to blackmail. The Yan people complained, but they dared not speak out. At this time, someone came forward, and they were naturally willing to go up and kick them in order to balance the injustice in their inner world.
"Hit. Hit." More and more Yan people went up, and they kept kicking each other.
"Oppose illegal taxation." At this time, a man who looked like a scholar shouted loudly.
"Oppose illegal taxation. Resist illegal taxation." The scholars shouted loudly.
"Yes. Against taxation." The leading man shouted loudly at this time.
"Against illegal taxation." Reading once again raised his arms and shouted.
"I oppose the extraordinary taxation." The people of Yan Kingdom shouted one after another.When the scholar saw the man knocking down the tax collector, the Yan people next to him also went up and kicked him hard. However, if this continues, he will be beaten to death. At that time, the army may be sent to suppress it forcibly. Everyone is disadvantaged. In order to help everyone, the scholar shouted this sentence. At first, the people around didn't understand it, but people quickly realized that they killed the tax collectors. This is to beheaded. In order to avoid being decapitated, they could only make such slogans.
In fact, the scholars also wanted to help themselves, because some of these tax collectors had the audacity to levy taxes on them, which naturally aroused their dissatisfaction, and it was reasonable to do such a move.
"Oppose illegal taxation. Oppose illegal taxation." More and more people shouted loudly, and people began to gather together.
"Let's go, let's find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and let him decide for us. Let's go." After speaking, everyone gathered and headed towards Prince Dan's mansion.As they walked, they shouted loudly.People along the way didn't understand what was going on.But the sentence "against illegal taxation" made everyone understand at once.Isn’t that what they want? Yan’s taxes are heavier than Zhao’s. Many of them are dissatisfied. The long-term depression has made many of them understand that they now want to oppose such unreasonable taxation. Taxes are unfair to them.Therefore, many people object to such illegal taxation.
"Oppose illegal taxation. Oppose illegal taxation." More and more people joined in.They raised their arms and shouted, their expressions extremely excited.
"Damn it, this is a rebellion." An officer maintaining law and order cursed, but he didn't dare to step forward to intercept it.Because of fear.
"The country of Yan is about to fall back." The officer cursed, and then organized his subordinates to intercept the opposing crowd, but there were too many opponents and the incident happened too suddenly, which made it difficult for them to deal with it, and they also had no idea where the crowd went. I don't know, they can't shoot and kill, because there are so many people, and once there is a huge disturbance, their heads are not enough to chop off.
"Oppose illegal taxation, oppose illegal taxation." Everyone shouted.More and more people feel that what they say makes sense, and they continue to join in, and more and more people get involved.Then keep adding in.
"Where are they going?" An official said worriedly. Seeing more and more people, he felt that he was worried to death. They had too few people.It simply cannot cover everything.
"That's good." At this moment, an official responded.
"They may be going to the Prince's Mansion. Hurry up"? They. "It is said that the officials rushed to prepare to intercept, but it was too late. The crowd had already arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
"Oppose illegal taxation, oppose illegal taxation." At the gate of the Prince's Mansion, more and more people objected.They are very dissatisfied with the taxes imposed by the Yan State, but they can only object in this way.
"What's going on outside?" Prince Dan asked at this time.
"This, this." The official standing on the side looked at each other in embarrassment.
"Well, the people outside let us." The officials on the side looked at *** in embarrassment.On the other hand, the Minister of Finance heard voices from outside.
"Prince, I think we are still." At this time, the Minister of Finance whispered.
"I see." Prince Dan also heard what the objection was shouting.
"Against illegal taxation." Prince Dan said.
"Yes, Prince, it seems that things have gone beyond our expectations." The Minister of Finance said seriously that the Minister of Political Affairs hoped that such a thing would happen, because such excessive taxation would be very bad for the development of Yan State. The Minister knew this, but Yan Guo was unable to respond for a long time, which cast a great shadow on Yan Guo's future development prospects.And it is not conducive to further development. If this matter can change the current taxation situation of Yan State, this is a very important matter for him.
"Prince, the affairs of the Yan Kingdom must change. If this continues, our Yan Kingdom will not go far enough. It is impossible to get out of the previous predicament." The Minister of Finance continued to suggest.
"Hmm." Prince Dan walked back and forth thinking.
"Calm down the outside affairs first." Prince Dan thought for a while and said.
Qin State Longxi.Shangwen's first stop when he went out to campaign.
"The weather is fine today. The heat makes all our fur coats useless." Shang Wen said with a smile.
"Hehe." The people in the audience laughed one after another.The pockets of the people of Qin have become richer, and people have very high requirements for clothing.
"Oh. I saw a lady, she was twitching non-stop." Shang Wen said with a smile.
"I think, ma'am, you must feel that something is missing when you go out today, right?" Shang Wen asked.
"We have money now, and we can afford those expensive fur coats, but today's good weather has disappointed everyone. Because the weather is not very good, not cold, but a little hot, this is a good season , spring is coming." Shang Wen said to everyone with a smile.
"Okay. I said some light words." Shang Wen continued.
"The life of us Qin people is very rich. There are many commodities that we can afford. Moreover, we are all developing in a better direction. Everyone is full of confidence in life." Shang Wen said to everyone.
"However, what I want to say is that we can't stop. We have to pay attention to our current situation. We can look at each other. The style of our clothes and the texture of the fabric are similar to those in Xianyang, Qin, and some places have passed. Xianyang. I have to admit this." Shang Wen said at this time.
