Not removed from the restaurant, within the single room by the window, there have been additionally folks watching the chaos on the street.

Here’s a man and a lady. The person is middle-aged, with vicissitudes on his face. The lady appears lovely and simply in her younger age.

“Fascinating.” the girl opened her lips, purple as blood, seemed down on the lengthy avenue, and smiled on the corners of her mouth:

“Simply arrived in Anle County, I noticed such farce.”

The lady must be younger, however her eyes are deep. She appears to be used to seeing issues on this planet, and she or he regards the scene in entrance of her as a farce.

“Plainly somebody is dissatisfied with the prince.” the middle-aged man thought somewhat and stated:

“Within the final 12 months, there have been no consultants right here. They have been allowed to do issues by the palace. Zhu Dingwu has achieved so many issues. He has a terrific status and excessive status. Naturally, he’ll arouse the vigilance of the brand new dynasty.”

He requested for directions:

“Miss, let’s…”

“Do not listen.” the girl raised her fingers gently and her voice was lazy:

“Though his father-in-law has some relations with us, he’s an outsider in spite of everything. Do not care an excessive amount of.”

“Moreover, if somebody suppresses his conceitedness, it will likely be good for what you need to do sooner or later.”

“Sure.” the person must be, after which stated:

“However the Lord enjoys a excessive status right here and does extra sensible issues. I am afraid it is tough to search out the flawed place.”

“I believe the folks of the brand new dynasty are grasping and need a share after they see the gold and silver out and in of the palace.”

Elevating troopers, constructing academies, and protecting the entire Anle County, the consumption is under no circumstances a small quantity.

The dawn is excess of gold.

This large wealth, to not point out the folks of the brand new dynasty, is their underground, may also be moved.

If you will get a chunk of it

“Do much less and make extra errors. For those who do extra, how can you haven’t any flaws.” the girl shook her head gently:

“Zhu Dingwu definitely doesn’t have the talent of turning stone into gold, however there should be no scarcity of gold and silver.”

“The place did he get it?”

“I do not know my humble place.” the person bowed his head:

“Nevertheless, to help such a big consumption, it’s clearly not sufficient to depend on the buildup of the palace alone. Perhaps the folks within the court docket know one thing.”

“HMM.” the girl nodded:

“Let’s examine.”

“Sure.”

On the lengthy avenue, the informant was nonetheless crying.

This man is over half 100 years outdated, with white hair. Now he cannot stand up on his knees and tears, however he’s additionally somewhat desolate.

However aside from the folks strolling with him, everybody else on the street glared angrily.

How dare this man sue the Lord?

Up to now 12 months, the Lord constructed academies, popularized martial arts, took in refugees, expanded commerce and suppressed gangs

By doing so many good deeds, practically a million folks in Anle county have been free from struggle and fear.

These are all actual advantages!

Within the eyes of the general public, this man is an ungrateful man who intentionally planted and framed the king.

“Imperial envoy!” the outdated man raised his head and cried:

“Villain Saturday, it is a county and metropolis material service provider, and operates pawnshops. It is usually a small fortune.”

“The times are spherical and full, however they’re additionally passable.”

“He has additionally donated academies, dug wells, and achieved good deeds, and has by no means achieved something towards the legislation and self-discipline.”

He sobbed and stated:

“However since half a 12 months in the past, the king’s order of the king’s home was transmitted and gold and silver was searched, which immediately destroyed the roots of our Zhou household!”

“Oh?” upstairs, the imperial envoy’s voice sank:

“What you stated is true?”

“So far as I do know, the prince loves the folks like a son and is named a virtuous man. How can he intentionally goal you as a small material service provider?”

“Do not blame me for not reminding you prematurely. It is a terrific crime to commit the next crimes and slander the Lord!”

“No one dare!” he kowtowed anxiously on Saturday and stated sadly:

“My lord does not know. The prince loves a false title. Though he has achieved many good deeds, he makes use of the cash we have now labored exhausting to earn!”

“Up to now dynasties, the taxes on agriculture, commerce, business and commerce, land and water checkpoints have been principally 30 taxes, and the upper was solely 15 taxes.”

“And the Lord…”

He cried loudly and stated:

“The tax set by the Lord for villains, however one of many two is the best, even his seven, me and three!”

“What?”

“How is that potential?”

“Pretend?”

As quickly as he stated this, he heard that everybody modified coloration, and everybody on the street was in an uproar.

A person and a lady belonging to the underground forces within the restaurant frowned one after one other, and the person disdained to sneer:

“No marvel we are able to afford so many individuals. Such heavy taxes are unprecedented. It is actually official coercion and standard revolt!”

“Ah…” the girl additionally shook her head gently, disdaining her face:

“It is wonderful that such a harsh individual ought to have such a virtuous title. It is a lengthy expertise!”

“Is that this true?” in one other restaurant, the elder Liao frowned and seemed on the waiter:

“Ten taxes can power households to interrupt down and other people to die. One of many two is unprecedented. That is an excessive amount of…”

He shook his head earlier than he completed talking.

As the fabric service provider stated on Saturday, a lot of the taxes up to now dynasties are 30 taxes and one, and 15 taxes are only a few.

Even when there’s a tax along with the tax, it may well by no means be as huge as half and even three or seven.

Whether it is true, the tax set by the Lord is de facto unprecedented.

“This…” the waiter hesitated:

“The villain earns multiple or two silver a month and has by no means paid taxes. The shopkeeper stated that the tax set by the LORD was barely increased. He complained somewhat.”

“However definitely not so exaggerated!”

He stated in a heavy voice:

“Sure, even when there’s a tax, it may well’t be so excessive. This man is intentionally planting and framing the king!”

“That is not essentially true.” Qi Qian smiled coldly and shook his head:

“It prices so much to lift troopers and construct academies within the palace. With these two bottomless holes, his cash should come from someplace?”

“And because the man beneath dares to report back to the official in full view of the general public, it’s most likely not possible to lie and deceive.”

“This sort of factor is named quickly as you examine it!”

This time, nobody refuted. Even the scholar in white nodded gently when he heard the speech, with a dignified face.

In that case, the prince who loves his folks like a son is simply beneficiant to others. He isn’t an individual.

“No, it will not.” the waiter was flustered and abruptly considered a proof and stated:

“Even when there may be such a excessive tax, it should be as a result of this man did one thing towards the legislation and self-discipline that he provoked the king’s punishment!”

“…” grasp Liao shook his head gently.

He may see that the prince was deeply within the hearts of the folks of Anle County, and even spontaneously seemed for an excuse for it.

However

I am afraid it is true!

“Actually?” within the restaurant, the imperial envoy appeared stunned:

“Take one out of two and divide it into three or seven. Is that too exaggerated?”

“What the villain stated is true!” the fabric product owner’s boss knelt down and cried, and even raised his hand to swear:

“If I’ve a half empty phrase on Saturday and in the present day, I want to be struck and thundered by heaven and by no means be reborn!”

“Poop!”

“Poop!”

Behind him, a number of folks knelt down and shouted:

“The villain cash, the native wooden service provider, is prepared to testify for shopkeeper Zhou. The Lord’s tax is certainly so!”

“Villain Li Fu, county and metropolis grain service provider, as shopkeeper Zhou stated, the tax set by the Lord makes us depressing!”

“Villain Wu Liangcai, county metropolis salt service provider…”

“Villains do waterway enterprise. They’ve cargo ships, caravans and several other inns.”

“……”

For a time, greater than ten individuals who adopted behind on Saturday knelt down one after one other, one after one other in tears, accusing the Lord of atrocities and heavy taxes.

Their phrases have been honest and their faces have been unhappy. They did not appear to be dishonest in any respect. Additionally they made the onlookers panic.

Is it tough that the picture of the prince loving the folks like a son is de facto an phantasm made by squeezing different folks’s wealth?

Even the waiter was pale, holding the fabric towel in his fingers.

They do not need to consider it, however at current, it appears so!

“My Lord!” seeing that the faces of the folks modified and there was no sound upstairs on Saturday, he hurried to talk once more:

“Folks all around the world say that tyranny is fiercer than tigers, and taxes are heavy. Such heavy taxes are exhausting for villains to bear.”

“Simply the day earlier than yesterday, as a result of they could not afford to pay taxes, the king’s home got here and immediately took away the villain’s two sons!”

“It is a menace to villains. If they do not repay the tax and silver inside three days, they do not know responsible us. Additionally they have to repeat the fabric store and confiscate all their household property.”

“My Lord.” the others shouted:

“I wait, I wait!”

“On the floor, the prince loves the folks like a son, however in reality, he lives extravagantly. After driving away the princess, he’s nostalgic for the romantic place and spends cash like earth, however he makes use of the cash we earn to publicize his status.”

“Simply ask, we have now donated to the Academy, offered and served porridge, however we have now been scolded as wealthy and unkind. The king has achieved all types of evil and plundered the folks’s fats and cream, however all our status belongs to him!”

When folks say one thing to you and me, they kill their hearts and engrave their bones. It may be seen that the amassed resentment has been deep.

Those that hear it change coloration on their faces. Even those that admire the Lord can not help shaking their hearts.

“Actually?” upstairs, the imperial envoy spoke slowly:

“I heard that the prince has an excellent title. I am afraid there’s some misunderstanding.”

“It is all phantasm!” roared on Saturday:

“What we stated is completely true. If the imperial envoy does not consider it, you possibly can invite the king to confront him!”

“I am afraid he will not dare!”

“My Lord.” upstairs, the voice of the king of the county home sounded, as if he was attempting to withstand a smile:

“Anle county is the Lord’s territory. It’s cheap and authorized for him to manipulate right here.”

“Adults work all the way in which. There isn’t any have to take these items to coronary heart.”

“Furthermore, the Lord does not need to see you. If I need to see you, I’ve to attend half a month.”

“Hum!” listening to the speech, the imperial envoy’s voice sank:

“Is it the king’s land and the king’s officers who lead the land? Though this place is the possession of the king, the persons are the folks of the imperial court docket. How can we tolerate such oppression?”

“What he did represents the imperial court docket. If he did evil deeds, it could harm the status of the imperial court docket!”

“I patrol on behalf of heaven. Even the Lord cannot keep away from it. Come and ask the Lord to come back!”

His voice was stuffed with anger and shouted:

“We’re proper right here, proper right here, ready for him to come back and confront him!”

“I am going to see if he dares to come back? What else to say!”

“Sure!” somebody answered. Then he turned over and jumped out of the restaurant. After a number of ups and downs, he leaped into the space.

That is the place the palace is.

…………

Time goes by.

On the lengthy avenue, the gang not solely didn’t lower, however extra folks got here after listening to the information.

Increasingly, leaving little house.

Underneath the restaurant, material retailers and greater than a dozen shopkeepers on Saturday have been unable to kneel down, even when ordered by Imperial Envoys.

Their faces have been haggard and their eyes have been offended. It appeared that they have been going to combat to the dying in the present day.

Whispers unfold all around the world.

Even the waiter stopped greeting the company and seemed out once in a while in entrance of the window.

“One thing’s flawed.” the white costume scholar narrowed his eyes barely and stated:

“Up to now so lengthy, these troopers on patrol have by no means appeared on this avenue once more.”

Based on his statement, the previous two batches must be proper!

“Somebody intentionally expanded the affect.” grasp Liao stated slowly:

“Plainly that is aimed on the prince, to discredit him and suppress his status.”

“Are you from the brand new dynasty?”

From the present scenario, though the prince claims to be it doesn’t matter what, his status is just too excessive.

Solely by suppressing the prince can the folks of the imperial court docket actually management Anle county.

Or

change.

“Corrupt?” the scholar in white shook his head gently:

“I am afraid it is not. I am afraid the king’s taxes are actually as heavy as the fabric service provider stated.”

“If not, the place did his cash come from?”

“Sure.” grasp Liao nodded gently.

They’re extremely cultivated. There are lots of whispers beneath, however they will additionally pay attention clearly.

A few of them are complaining in regards to the heavy taxes paid by the Lord.

It is true.

“Coming!”

Immediately, somebody drank.

Then the gang stirred and seemed in direction of the top of the lengthy avenue.

There, a luxurious automobile is slowly coming, and the signal of the palace is especially eye-catching.

“Get out of the way in which!”

“Get out of the way in which!”

In entrance of the sedan, the royal guard waved his fingers and divided a passage within the crowded crowd.

This was commonplace up to now, and even many individuals would take the initiative to present in, however in the present day there are some complaints.

The environment has clearly begun to vary.

Not lengthy after, the sedan got here to the underside of the restaurant. The coachman jumped out of the carriage and bowed inward:

“Lord, right here is the place.”

“HMM.” within the automobile, there was an detached response, after which the aspect curtain was slowly pulled up.

Standing within the restaurant reverse, grasp Liao cannot see the king’s face, however he can see the fabric retailers and others who’re all afraid.

They bowed their heads one after one other and dared not say extra.

“Mr. Xu.” Guo fan did not get out of the automobile, however took a seat within the automobile and spoke to the wine upstairs:

“Why did you invite me right here?”

“Pedal…”

Within the restaurant, footsteps got here downstairs, and a gaggle of greater than ten folks walked out slowly.

Amongst them are Lord Gao, the emissary of the prefecture, and Lord Wang of the prefecture.

He’s a white, middle-aged man with a solemn look. He must be an grownup.

Lord Xu approached and bowed to the automobile:

“I do know the Lord likes peace and quiet, and I do not need to disturb him.”

“However I used to be ordered to patrol the world. At present, a gaggle of native wealthy businessmen sued the Lord.”

“I’ve to ask the Lord to condescend and are available right here!”

“Oh?” listening to the speech, Guo fan’s face remained unchanged, glanced coldly at a gaggle of businessmen who could not stand up on their knees and stated:

“I do not know why I sued the king?”

“Inform me!”

His voice was detached, however when it fell into the ears of a gaggle of businessmen, they trembled and will hardly converse.

“What a terrific majesty!” in one other restaurant, the eyes of the girl with purple lips brightened:

“The facility of thoughts and spirit is in keeping with the breath on the physique. Each phrase and deed can seize folks’s soul. This son is nice!”

“Actually?” reverse him, the middle-aged man nodded gently:

“It’s stated that this son is clever and gifted. He has achieved vigorous Qi at a younger age.”

“As well as, his father-in-law is the one. It must be regular to have this cultivation.”

“No.” the girl shook her head slowly:

“You do not perceive!”

Though she stated that the opposite social gathering did not perceive, the girl did not clarify. She simply smiled and whispered:

“Fascinating younger man, the proprietor of Qianji cave has an excellent son-in-law!”

“Lord.” was swept by the opposite social gathering’s eyes, and the imperial envoy Xu was additionally trembling and subconsciously creepy.

Nevertheless, in spite of everything, he was a daring artist and instantly bowed his hand to talk as a substitute of a gaggle of businessmen:

“I heard that the LORD set a heavy tax, one out of two, and even three or seven, but it surely’s true?”

As soon as this comment was made, the scene was abruptly quiet.

Everybody held their breath and listened to the reply within the automobile, even the onlookers.

“Not dangerous.” Guo fan opened his mouth, his voice as detached as ever:

“It is true.”

“What?”

“Is it true?”

“How?”

For a second, there was noise all over the place.

Within the restaurant, the waiter’s physique shook and virtually fell away.

Nevertheless, grasp Liao frowned. Even Qi Qianqiu was not joyful after being confirmed.

“Lord!” the imperial envoy, Mr. Xu, instantly stated in a solemn voice:

“Taxes have by no means been so heavy in all dynasties. Do not you suppose it is an excessive amount of?”

“Is not such heavy taxes forcing folks to die? Was the fabric product owner’s household captured by the royal guards on Saturday?”

His voice was getting louder and louder, and his anger virtually was a roar.

Nearly half the county!

The gang within the discipline didn’t suppose it was flawed, however solid approval and admiration.

“I bear in mind.” Guo Fan stated slowly:

“Anle county is the territory of the king. What taxes do you arrange, as for those who do not want the consent of others?”

“Lord!” the Lord of the county authorities instantly stepped ahead and stated coldly:

“That is true, however what the LORD did represents the imperial court docket. Do not you abandon the imperial court docket?”

“Lord,” even Lord Gao, who has at all times been keen on the palace, stated:

“It is an excessive amount of to take one of many two and divide it into three or seven. Is not it forcing others to insurgent?”

“Good!”

“That is the reality!”

“Take different folks’s cash to publicize your self. You do not do something, Prince. You will have a status of loving the folks like a son for nothing.”

“In my view, that is the actual traitor and service provider!”

For a time, all types of unusual voices sounded from the encircling crowd. Though some folks wished to say one thing to elucidate, they have been additionally suppressed.

“Somebody is making bother on goal.” the scholar in white chuckled and glanced at some figures within the crowd:

“I am afraid it should be dangerous luck, Wang Ye!”

“Sure.” grasp Liao nodded gently.

“Lord!” on the lengthy avenue, Lord Xu stepped ahead in time and stated:

“It is unreasonable to pay such heavy taxes. Xu Daitian patrolled the 4 sides and categorically didn’t enable this to occur.”

“Please additionally take again your orders, launch the folks in custody, and return the overcharged tax cash!”

“Oh?” Guo fan raised his hand and at last noticed waves in his eyes. Then he opened the curtain and received up and walked out of the automobile slowly.

“Lord Xu thinks that the tax set by the king is just too excessive?”

“Actually?” grownup Xu frowned and stated with Guo fan’s eyes:

“Do not you suppose so?”

“Ah…” Guo fan stood on the automobile, carrying his fingers and stated calmly:

“The king requested you, why ought to there be taxes?”

“This…” Lord Xu frowned and hesitated earlier than saying:

“It’s taken from the folks and used for the folks!”

“So.” Guo fan requested once more:

“Why ought to the imperial court docket take it?”

“It is to let some individuals who do not need to hand it in.” Lord Wang raised his head and stated:

“Lord, what are you going to say? It doesn’t matter what you say, such heavy taxes are tough to persuade the general public!”

“Good!”

“That is the explanation!”

Everybody agreed.

“Take it from the folks and use it for the folks.” Guo fan ignored the distractions in his ears, stepped out of the carriage, took a destructive step, abruptly turned his head and stated:

“Initially of the brand new dynasty, there are a lot of disputes on this planet. Have you learnt why Anle county could be alone?”

“It is the work of the Lord!” Lord Xu bowed his hand.

“Good!” Guo fan nodded:

“The land of Sichuan and Shu is in chaos, however Anle county shouldn’t be affected. There are some causes for my king.”

Then he reached out his hand and pointed to the businessmen who could not stand up on their knees:

“That Xu grownup feels that if he had not been alone in Anle County, he may elevate these wealthy businessmen?”

“Lord.” Lord Xu’s face sank:

“The scenario in Anle county has created wealthy businessmen, however they’ve additionally made efforts for it and paid taxes. It isn’t the explanation for such heavy taxes!”

“Actually?” Guo fan glanced at him and stated:

“What do you suppose are the the reason why you can also make a fortune?”

“I do know that.” Lord Gao stroked his beard and smiled, stepped ahead and stated:

“First, it’s the atmosphere of Anle County!”

“Good.” Guo fan nodded.

“Second, it’s the imaginative and prescient of all companies. With out their perception, how can they accumulate a lot wealth.”

“Not dangerous.” Guo fan didn’t object:

“Any extra?”

“This…” Lord Gao blinked:

“Is not that sufficient?”

“After all not!” Guo fan whispered:

“Within the chaos of the world, the king supplied Anle County, which is the idea for them to develop into wealthy businessmen.”

“With out the steadiness right here, even in case you are proficient in enterprise, it’s important to be caught in struggle and may’t present your abilities!”

“Hum!” somebody hummed coldly, however didn’t refute.

As a result of it’s true, however it’s removed from justified to levy such a heavy tax due to this.

“Second, due to the folks right here!” Guo Fan stated once more.

This comment made many individuals frown.

“If there have been no native folks, how may they handle such a giant enterprise alone?” Guo fan, with chilly eyes, swept the kneeling businessman and stated:

“The world is in chaos. The folks solely need meals and clothes. They spend lower than one-third of the gold and silver they used to rent the folks!”

“If many individuals in Wujun metropolis earn loads of gold and silver with low-cost work, can they accumulate such wealth?”

The sector is quiet.

Within the restaurant, senior Liao, a scholar in white and a lady in one other place all frowned.

This fact appears to be true, however

have by no means even heard of it!

“Once more.” Guo Fan stated:

“The commerce and commerce within the county and metropolis are easy. The place does it come from?”

His face remained unchanged and he stated:

“It is as a result of there are troopers patrolling, as a result of there’s a affluent industrial metropolis established by the king this 12 months, and there are a lot of folks patrons who want rice flour, grain and oil!”

“Everybody makes Anle County affluent and affluent. Everybody has credit score. Everybody has paid for his or her wealth. Why can solely wealthy businessmen monopolize the bulk?”

“This…” Lord Xu turned pale:

“Additionally they made efforts. Moreover, the tax burden you set is de facto too excessive.”

“They actually helped.” Guo fan nodded and agreed:

“The king additionally allowed them to stay an excellent life. Solely somewhat tax was charged beneath 500 Liang, and greater than 1000 Liang started to extend.”

“The half above 5000 Liang is just fifty-five factors, and the half above 10000 Liang is just thirty-seven factors. Is not that sufficient?”

“Moreover.”

Ignoring the advanced expressions of the gang, he continued:

“Within the industrial metropolis established by the king, the hire is decreased, in order that troopers can defend the industrial street, which makes them very handy.”

“This rice service provider, if he encounters a navy catastrophe exterior, the acquisition worth of rice will rise sharply, and there are subsidies from the king’s home, so many…”

“You speak nonsense!” abruptly, that Saturday abruptly stood up and shouted:

“Having stated a lot cannot change the truth that you’re grasping for ink, gold and silver and supply your self with meals, drink and pleasure!”

“Kneel down!” Guo fan’s eyes sank and his voice fell. On Saturday, he knelt down on his knees.

Guo fan paid no consideration to his questions.

“Take it from the folks and use it for the folks.”

Along with his fingers on his again, he went to the automobile:

“Whenever you earn gold and silver with the assistance of geographical benefits and other people’s power, you need to suppose that you may be utilized by the folks in the future. You do not need to, so you could have taxes!”

“County metropolis academy, tens of hundreds of troopers, metropolis protection, industrial metropolis, and even tons of of officers provide silver. The place else do you come from?”

“There isn’t any such cause on this planet to get all types of advantages, however need to abandon the individuals who pay for them?”

“Rise up and return to the home!”

“Sure.” the coachman bowed and took the reins.

In entrance of them, everybody gave approach and bowed their heads.
