Chapter 181 All-out war (all orders are 3200 plus updates)

Since Li Gui left, Zhu Fu and Li Yun are in charge of the Yishui County side, and Master Song Changping is in charge of government affairs.

As long as you hide it from state officials, nothing will happen.

Even if Li Gui missed his whereabouts in Tokyo City, others would only think that Magistrate Ding Enlu was doing some routine tricks to deceive officials, but they never thought that the entire Yishui County had changed.

All matters that required Ding Zhixian's intervention were handled by Master Song, and it was said to the outside world that the Zhixian was ill.

All the gentry in the county have been killed, who dares to talk too much about it?

In order not to be suspected, even the daily routine tasks such as tax collection and grain distribution were carried out in Yishui County.

The problem is here!

They did a great job!
Under normal circumstances, the annual tax collection, grain collection and other matters in various places would be a long-standing problem, and they would have to rely on the strong support of the gentry for each county and township to implement it.

And the gentry did not do their work in vain, and often used various methods to reduce or reduce their own taxes and grains.

For the sake of the overall situation, the local magistrate turned a blind eye and just didn't know.

The most obvious result of this is that when it is actually shipped to the state, the predetermined standard line will be pressed, and there will be no more than the slightest bit, and sometimes it may not be enough.

Of course the state is well aware of this kind of thing, so we just need to see whether it can meet the minimum standards required by the state.

After the Yushan thieves became the masters, the land was divided, and a large number of refugees were recruited. The number of registered acres of land increased, and the standard of grain tax increased accordingly.

In the past, when farmers farmed the land, they had to pay rent and pay grain, and then they could not keep much for their own family. But now there are no exploitative landlords and no greedy subordinates. Farmers are living a better life, and they don’t care too much about the little things they pay for grain. .

Moreover, the management of the Yushan bandits is simple and crude. Anyone who dares to cheat will be killed with a single click, and the land will be distributed to others.

Other subordinate officials would just beat people at most, but the Yushan bandit really dared to kill people.

Other magistrates and counties dare not provoke civil unrest, but the Yushan bandits are really not afraid of this!
So after cutting off a few "smart" heads, each household honestly paid all the grain.

As for the business tax, Yishui County now no longer has city gate tax, poll tax and other harsh and miscellaneous taxes, and there are no bandits setting up cards everywhere to intercept them. Even the official road has been rebuilt. Those passing merchants only need to press Just pay tax in proportion to the value of the goods.

Those merchants are all shrewd. As long as they have been to Yishui County once, they will find that they pay less taxes and are safer.

The local people are wealthy and willing to spend money to buy things. They also earn more, so of course they are willing to come here often.

Today's Yishui County has long been the most prosperous county in Yizhou. With the cooperation, the business tax will naturally increase.

Then Zhu Fu and others discovered that the taxes and grain collected far exceeded the standard.

In other words, Yishui County has never really received taxes and grain in full in the past. Who evaded taxes, or whose hands those taxes and grain fell into, now I don't even know.

Zhu Fu and others paid the full amount of grain, but they did not want the court to be suspicious, and they were not really loyal to the Song Dynasty, so they withheld the excessive grain tax and only paid the standard set by the above.

They thought that was the end of it. If I hinted at completing the task, your court would never come to trouble me, right?

But they didn't know that when all the counties were trying to shirk their complaints and try every means to reduce or reduce the tax amount, Yishui County was the first to pay all taxes and grains in full, how dazzling it was.

Under normal circumstances, the Yishui County Magistrate should often send people to travel around the state to inquire about information, build friendships and relationships, and he will definitely know this problem by then.

But Ding Enlu was dead long ago, so how could he still do these things?

As a result, Yishui County did not receive any news.

Then this group of people did this every time they taxed and collected grain, which attracted the attention of the state.

After carefully checking the situation in Yishui County, we found that Yishui County has been quiet in the past two years, with no lawsuits reported.

What does this mean?
A saint values ​​no litigation!
This shows that Magistrate Ding has the power to educate and make a group of unruly people content with their duties, and no one will complain!

At first, the prefecture thought that the county magistrate Ding was a minister and wanted to promote him. However, it turned out that Ding Enlu didn't know how to behave and never came to visit him.

Even during the holidays, Ding Enlu never sent the gift list.

This made the officials in the state extremely dissatisfied, so they sent people to inspect.This matter in Yishui County was originally only guarded against outsiders and not hidden from the locals.

The messenger took a casual turn and found out the truth.

When he went back to report to the state, all the officials were furious.

Is this okay?

Not only did the Yushan bandit harm the county magistrate, he also assumed his name and controlled all affairs in the county.

This is a treasonous crime!

It is tolerable, what is unbearable!
However, everyone in Yizhou had seen how ferocious the Yushan bandits were back then. They knew that the state could not clear up the money, so they had to ask for help.

It just so happened that Li Gui rebelled and captured the Three Prefectures. The imperial court was about to send out troops to fight, and by the way, a branch was sent out to take back Yishui County first.

Li Gui knew the situation in Yishui County. Without him to support it, Zhu Fu and Li Yun would not be able to defend it.

The current plan is to capture Yanzhou and connect Yunzhou and Yizhou together, so that troops can be sent to support at any time.

If that's the case, let's fight!
Li Gui called all the brothers together and started discussing.

The heroes of Liangshan have also defeated many Da Zhuangzi these days, but they are obviously more interested in conquering cities and territories.

I couldn't help but be very excited when I heard that Brother Li Gui was finally going to expand.

"Brother, since Yanzhou is about to be attacked, we simply occupy a few more states and go directly to Mizhou, Dengzhou, and Laizhou to open up the seaport so that the big ships from Liangshan can enter the sea directly along the Jishui River."

Ruan Sanxiong got a map from someone unknown, took a picture of the two states of Denglai, and screamed with excitement.

Li Gui blinked his eyes and realized that this seemed to be the truth, so he slapped his thigh and shouted:

"it is good!"

"Then let's occupy the next few states, and Qingzhou, Weizhou, and Mizhou by the way. Otherwise, we will inevitably be attacked in the belly, which will annoy me to death!"

When he heard that Qingzhou was about to be attacked, Qin Ming said:
"Huang Xin, the military commander of Qingzhou's Sanshan Mountain Supervisor, is my disciple."

"I'm going to write a letter, so that we can coordinate the inside and outside and capture Qingzhou without any bloodshed."

So everyone claimed their targets and attacked different state capitals.

Ma Ling was quick on his feet, so he went to Yizhou to join Zhu Fu and others, took the initiative, occupied Yizhou first, and then took Qin Ming's letter to recruit Huang Xin.

If Huang Xin didn't obey, he took him directly and captured Qingzhou.

Yizhou has been cleaned up by Li Gui a long time ago, and Qingzhou has been recruited by Song Jiang. There are no extravagant people in Qingzhou, so no one can stop Ma Ling's golden bricks.

Fan Rui led Xiang Chong and Li Gun from Shanzhou to attack Xuzhou, Huaiyang Army and Haizhou.

Niu Wenzhong led Fang Qiong, An Shirong and others to attack Yanzhou and Qizhou.

Lin Chong led Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin to attack Guangji Army and Xingren Mansion.

Li Gui went to Puzhou personally and entered Kaide Mansion.

Wang Jin and Qin Ming were still injured, so they stayed in Liangshan to take charge. Any intelligence or news would be delivered by carrier pigeons. If it was urgent, Ma Ling would be sent to make a trip.

As for Weizhou, Mizhou, Dengzhou and Laizhou being too far away, we might as well wait until these places are occupied before considering it later.

 The original outline was that Ding Zhixian, a dead ghost, was promoted, but when I wrote this, I suddenly thought that a "good official" like Ding Zhixian would definitely not be promoted in the corrupt officialdom, so I changed it.
