The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 684 There are policies above and countermeasures below

"No! The sheriff of Hedong County is Fang Xianzhong, how could it be He County magistrate of Dayang County?"

Li Yuanhao was very surprised. This Fang Xianzhong was born as a Jinshi. He was appointed by himself. He was a clean and honest official, diligent in government and caring for the people. He was the parent official of Hedong County!Why did you withdraw so soon?
Didn't I order the revocation to He Zidi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials?According to the official promotion regulations of the Jingtian Dynasty, the promotion and promotion of Hedong County was entirely up to the emperor to decide.

"Quickly tell me! What is the reason for your county magistrate to be promoted?" Li Yuanhao asked further.

"This! This..." The two guards hesitated.

"Hurry up! Do you still want me to give you a whip! Our young master is asking you!" Liu Yunxiang raised his whip and was about to whip it.

"Let's talk! Let's talk!" The two guards told the story of He County Magistrate's trip to Beijing to present the treasure pot.

Not wanting to, the two men next to him hurriedly said: "The treasure pot we dug in our own field! This hateful county magistrate went to Beijing to offer treasures and get an official position to bully us! It's disgusting! Huh!"

These two men are two brothers in the countryside near Dayang County, and they are the ones who dig the treasure pot.

"What grievances do you have, just tell me!" Li Yuanhao felt that something was wrong and continued to ask.

The two brothers looked at each other, and seeing Li Yuanhao's upright face, they felt that they had met someone who could avenge their grievances, so they explained clearly to Li Yuanhao that they had dug sweet potatoes in the field and found the purple sand treasure pot.

The two servants also tried to seize the treasure pot by force, but they were finally taken away by the county magistrate, and the matter of going to the capital to donate privately was also explained in detail.

"Bold! It's so unreasonable! You go to Hedong County for me!" Li Yuanhao decided to go to Hedong County.

Zhao Feixue was a little worried, and said to Li Yuanhao secretly: "Yuanhao! It's so inconvenient for us to go out! Otherwise, let's deal with it when we return to the capital!"

"Feixue! When we encounter such a thing, we can't ignore it! If such corrupt officials continue to run rampant, the common people will be in dire straits!"

Li Yuanhao's private visit on Weibo, he knew that the common people's suffering came from two aspects.The first is natural disasters, which are inevitable, and people are helpless in the face of natural disasters, such as floods and droughts.

The second is man-made disasters, which can be avoided. These man-made disasters come from the tyranny of officials, exorbitant taxes, and forced the people to suffer unbearably.

Li Yuanhao was very guilty. He used to live in the palace, and the ministers around him all sang meritorious deeds.

He didn't go deep into the actual situation and investigate, so, according to the wishes of some ministers, in order to increase fiscal revenue, Li Yuanhao appropriately increased some taxes, of course, within the range that ordinary people can bear.

Unexpectedly, during this private visit on Weibo, I found that the taxes below are much higher than what I collect. It seems that the government below has policies and countermeasures below.

If the above tax is 1, then when you arrive at the county, the local sheriff will increase 1 to 2.

And when it comes to the counties below the county, increase 2 to 3, and increase 3 to 4 when it comes to local tyrants and landlords. This is a full 4 times increase, and the common people increase their production without increasing their income.

Instead, you have to borrow to pay taxes.Those poor harvested people had to leave their homes and live in exile in order to avoid the government's tax avoidance.

Zhao Feixue listened to Li Yuanhao's words, nodded, and said clearly: "Yuanhao! For the people of the Jingtian Dynasty! Feixue supports you!"
