Chapter 206 Riot and tax resistance?(1/2)
Zhao Ning said: "I know a few people in the capital who can help you."
"Then thank you sir."
The two didn't chat any more. Qian Jinshu left her address and originally asked for Zhao Ning's address, but Zhao Ning didn't say much.
Zhao Ning felt quite emotional all the way back to the palace.
The situation must be opened step by step.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he found Gao Qiu waiting in front of Wende Hall.
Seeing that Zhao Guan's family was back, Gao Qiu hurriedly walked over and said, "Guan family, something serious has happened."
"What's the matter?"
"There was a riot in Weishi County. Many people refused to pay agricultural taxes and even injured the tax collectors of the transportation department."
Zhao Ning was slightly startled.
Seeing Zhao Guanjia's expression, Gao Qiu became even more anxious: "Guanjia, what should we do now?"
If a riot breaks out, this is a big deal!
The new policy had only been promulgated for a few days, and a group of officials in the capital opposed it. Now it was Weishi County's turn, and Weishi County was even more exaggerated and went into direct riot.
"Guanjia! Guanjia!" Gao Qiu shouted urgently.
Only then did Zhao Ning come to his senses.
What's the big deal?
This is obviously a good thing!
What is Zhao Ning most afraid of?
What I fear most is that after the New Deal is rolled out, there will be no response!
Does no response mean there is no problem?
No response means there is a big problem. It means that the transportation department is not active in collecting taxes this time. It is acting according to the old rules and deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth.
If there is a reaction, it means she is pregnant... Oh no, it means the transfer department is really promoting the new agricultural policy.
"How many people rioted?"
Gao Qiu said anxiously: "At least hundreds of people!"
"not enough!"
"Less?" Gao Taiwei's eyes almost bulged out. Guanjia, you don't have a fever, do you?
"not enough!"
"I...I don't quite understand what the officials mean."
"I mean, only a few hundred people rioted, which is a small number. According to their tactics, they will definitely create various excuses to incite the people and get them to participate."
"That……"
"When did you receive the news?"
"Half an hour ago, the people I sent to Weishi County worked hard to bring them back."
"When do you think this will happen?"
"It must have been yesterday afternoon."
"That's right, there will definitely be more than a thousand people today." Zhao Ning said, "I'm so damn smart."
Gao Qiu was confused by the Zhao Guan family's calmness.
Officials, it’s a riot now! It’s a riot!
"Guan family, Fangla's riot didn't take long, and now..."
"The Fang La riot was caused by the persecution of traitorous ministers in the DPRK. How can it be compared with this!"
Gao Qiu was even more shocked. Was Fang La's rebellion forced?
This was the first time he heard this statement, and it came from the emperor's mouth.
"Is there any Weishi County Daily?"
"It's possible, but there is no printing. I have to find someone to copy it by hand, and I also found a storyteller."
"Are you promoting the new policies of the imperial court?"
"have!"
"you sure?"
"Confirmed, and according to the official's wishes, it was propagated that the Jin people deliberately sabotaged the New Deal."
"What is the attitude of the people?"
"When we were promoting it that day, many people cheered."
Zhao Ning looked at Gao Qiu and asked, "Are you sure you are cheering?"
"I sent my most trusted person there, and I will never lie!"
"That's right."
"What's wrong?" Question marks appeared on Gao Qiu's head.
"Okay, your people will monitor the situation closely. Go down and I will make arrangements."
"The official family doesn't need me to do anything..."
"What you have to do now is to regularly ask the four assistants and people from the sixteen counties to report on the situation on a regular basis. I need to control all the information in a timely manner, especially the people's attitude towards the New Deal. Do you understand?"
"Understand!"
"Get down!"
"yes!"
In the afternoon, Yue Fei, who was training in the army camp, received the emperor's order to go to Weishi County.
The tasks are clearly explained.
Yue Fei immediately led five hundred cavalry and rushed towards Weishi.
News of Wei's rebellion also reached the capital in the evening.
The various forces in the capital are already in enough disarray.
The conservatives continue to clamor, and the New Dealers are making efforts, including officials from government schools and universities are busy.
As for many people in Tokyo, they gossip before and after meals.
It was under this circumstance that the riots in Weishi County spread.
Immediately, it was like a meteorite falling into the already rough lake, rolling up even higher waves.
Amid the uproar, some people calmed down.
For example, Cai Mao, one of the conservative leaders, calmed down at this time.
Li Chunyou was very anxious at first, so he said to Li Chunyou: "This matter is getting serious and Zhao Ding can't stop it. In the end, someone has to take responsibility. Let's just wait and see what happens."
As soon as the situation is over, the conservatives will definitely take advantage of the situation and attack in groups, completely suppressing the New Deal faction in one fell swoop.
Of course, there were still a large number of officials who took the trouble to write "threatening memoranda" to the emperor, saying "the Song Dynasty is about to end, and the ancestral country is about to collapse", causing uproar in both the government and the public.
Some people even cried loudly in the yamen, saying that they had dreamed about Taizu, and that Taizu was angry about the current New Deal.
What is Zhao Ning's attitude towards the current turmoil in the court?
Always ignore it.
Memorial?
Burn them all!
I don't have any spare time to waste.
He didn't try to argue with those people. Fighting was futile and was nothing more than a transfer of conflicts.
As for the people in Tokyo City, after hearing about the riots, they also had a relatively clear attitude: they supported the imperial court in quelling the chaos. This must have been instigated by the gold thieves!
Wanyan Wu Qingbuy: I still have many cards to play.
At noon on June 17, the sun was scorching the earth, and the ground in front was steaming.
A large house in Weishi County.
"Dad, you are back."
"came back."
"I took a trip to the capital. How is the situation?"
"We went to the Zhengshi Hall, and Xianggong Zhao met with us in person." Li Mu from Weishi County was a big landowner, grain merchant, and cloth merchant in Weishi County.
