Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 496 Arrest, gunshot

Originally, many tenants were skeptical of Sun Guicheng's words - not that Sun Guicheng's words were not sincere and detailed enough, but that the Ming government left a bad impression on the people in the past.

Now, upon hearing the doubts of a certain two people, many tenants immediately nodded, thinking it made sense.

In the past, the Shangtian court, which planted rice, requisitioned nearly one stone at four stones per mu. How could it be possible that it has suddenly become half a stone now?
Even if His Majesty is merciful today, it is impossible to be so merciful, right?

Some of the tenants had suffered a lot from the local government in the past, or were closely related to the government, and they also questioned and talked about it at this time.

An old tenant who looked at five or sixty years old said: "Young man, you don't settle accounts like that.

We may really pay more rent to the Duke’s government than taxes, but with the Duke’s protection, no one dares to bully us, and the labor money and miscellaneous taxes apportioned to us are also less.

If you lose your status as a state tenant, who knows how you will go to collect taxes?It is said that it is half a stone, but maybe it is actually a stone. "

After hearing this, many tenants nodded and thought it made sense.

Seeing this, Sun Guicheng asked, "What's the name of this old man?"

The old tenant shrank his head and disappeared into the crowd.

But Gu Erhu said: "His name is Gu Changgen, and his granddaughter is the eighth concubine of Manager Xu of the farm."

"Gu Erhu, you don't want to stay in Tangxi anymore, do you?" Gu Changgen glared at Gu Erhu.

Hearing this, Sun Guicheng sneered, suppressed the crowd's voice with a loudspeaker, and said, "You said that the people in the government oppressed you, but did the manager of the farm treat you well? I'm afraid they didn't oppress you a lot, did they?
Now His Majesty implements a new policy, severely punishes corrupt officials, and cleans up from top to bottom.You may not know it when you stay in this village, but you only need to go to Nanjing City to know that no official dares to oppress the people at will.

As for whether the land tax is true or not, there are always self-cultivators around here, right?Just ask and it will be clear. "

Sun Guicheng and other Qing Zhang commissioners knew when they were trained that many rural people stayed in the village all year round, at most they went to the town to go to the market, and there were very few opportunities to enter the city.

Therefore, they are very insensitive to changes in the world, and most of them think that Daming is as dim as before.

This time when they went to the countryside, if they wanted to explain the New Deal clearly, they needed to tell the people that Daming had been reborn, and the sky was no longer as dark as before.

After listening to Sun Guicheng's words, quite a few tenants fell into thinking again.

They are indeed ignorant and ignorant, but it does not mean that they do not have their own thoughts.

Good or bad they can feel it.

But at this time, a strange voice sounded from the crowd, "That sounds nice, but who knows how you guys do it? Maybe you just want to use Qingzhang's excuse to ask for benefits from us."

"That's right," someone answered, "If you give benefits, Qingzhang will count less land; if you don't give benefits, you will definitely count more. We are living a good life now, why should we accompany you to make trouble?"

Li Liang, as the captain of Qingzhang's team, changed into ordinary people's clothes before entering Tangxi, mixed into the crowd and looked at the tenants. …

The arrival of Xu Changyuan and others was destined for him, so when he saw people booing in the tenants and singing against Sun Guicheng from time to time, he knew there was a problem.

At this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of one of them to speak, he finally touched his side, and using the grasping skills he learned during training, he twisted his arm and controlled this person.

"Ah! What are you doing?!"

The man under Li Liang's control struggled after being startled, but his arm hurt when he moved it, even if he had all his strength, it was difficult for him to exert it.

This change caused the surrounding tenants to disperse immediately.

Because they didn't know Li Liang, and the man Li Liang captured was Xu Changyuan's follower.As a dog's leg, this person helped Xu Changyuan bully his tenants a lot, and even did more evil in private than Xu Changyuan.

Of course the tenants would not help such a person.

However, as soon as the tenants dispersed, other attendants brought by Xu Changyuan saw them.

Although these people are all friends, they are loyal, especially when they don't know the danger is coming.After all, Li Liang was dressed as an ordinary person at this time, and no one immediately thought of him as Commissioner Qingzhang.

"Bold!"

"How dare you make trouble in Wei Guogong's farm, are you tired of doing it?"

"Don't let go yet!"

"···"

Xu Changyuan's followers scolded, and rushed to Li Liang's side one after another, preparing to bully more and teach this stranger who came out of nowhere as usual.

Xu Changyuan also looked this way, subconsciously feeling something was wrong.

Suddenly, he noticed that Li Liang was wearing indigo trousers similar to those of Commissioner Qingzhang under his robe, but without leggings, and he immediately guessed something.

"stop···"

Before Xu Changyuan shouted, he saw the imperial guards outside the crowd move.

More than a dozen people rushed over without their knives coming out of their sheaths, stopping the dozen or so people rushing towards Li Liang was like a heavy blow.

Although Xu Changyuan's entourage also practiced some kung fu with fists, feet and sticks on weekdays, but where is the opponent of the Imperial Guard who fought from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood?

In less than ten breaths, a dozen people were all smashed to the ground.

Some passed out, some were injured and howled miserably, and some were begging for mercy on their knees, all of them were captured!
Xu Changyuan had never been through this kind of battle before, felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously wanted to run away.

As a result, he turned around and ran a dozen steps away when he heard a gunshot.

A lead bullet hit him about two steps away. Although the dust splashed was very small, Xu Changyuan was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a plop, crying, "Master, please spare me! Please, please, please!"

When the imperial guards started to attack, coupled with the sound of gunshots, the tenants also panicked and wanted to flee in all directions.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Guicheng quickly shouted with a loudspeaker, "Folks, don't be afraid, the imperial guards only deal with those who obstruct the Qing Dynasty, and will never implicate innocent people!"

Sun Guicheng yelled several times, and since he was at the door of his house, the monk could not escape the temple if he ran away.After panicking for a while, the tenants calmed down when they saw that the imperial guards did not hurt anyone else.

It's just that many people have already hid back home at this time, and less than half of the tenants who are still at the entrance of the village.

Seeing that Yang Qianniu had captured Xu Changyuan, Sun Guicheng couldn't help but said with a bitter face: "I said Captain Yang, he just arrested a man who is in charge of the farm, is it worth shooting? Look, the people are almost scared away."

Yang Qianniu also realized his mistake, and said embarrassingly, "I just shot because I was impatient to see this guy run away."

At this time Li Liang also came over and said: "Don't say so many useless things, you spend some more time to call the people back. This afternoon, no matter what, we want the people in Xitang to know that the new land tax policy is very important to them. It is of great benefit."

Qingzhang's squad and Yang Qianniu's imperial guards were originally in a cooperative relationship, so Sun Guicheng could only complain about Yang Qianniu and didn't say anything else.After hearing Li Liang's words, he went to beat the gong again to summon the people of Xitang again.

Perhaps it was the action of the imperial guards and the gunshot that made the people realize that this group of people really represented the imperial court, their majesty must not be offended, and the emperor's orders must not be disobeyed.

Sun Guicheng only yelled once or twice through the loudspeaker, and the people who hid back came to the entrance of the village again, listening to the Qingzhang team continue to preach the new land tax policies such as Qingzhang’s farmland mu and Ding Dingbu’s taxation...
