On the border of Yingtian Mansion, people are still busy in the fields.

Everything around is so full of life, even in this season that has passed the middle of the year.

"What else did they do?"

Zou Xueyu suddenly spoke, causing Yu Dalian to scream.

After realizing that he was distracted, Yu Dalian hurriedly lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "It is an indisputable fact that merchants are leaving, especially those giant merchants with complex industries. Not only are the people gone, but also the goods they prepared are gone.

They are already on their way out. I think that in order to stabilize the people's sentiments, I can issue an order to intercept these goods that have not yet left the Zhili Road."

"This is stupid." Zou Xueyu immediately said firmly, and then explained: "If the government is so strong, it will only sit back and watch the government's misbehavior, which leads to the fact that these merchants left."

Yu Dalian paused and whispered: "Then... just let them go like this?"

"Did I say that I would let them leave freely like this?" Zou Xueyu asked again.

All of a sudden, Yu Dalian completely lost his ability.

It’s not a matter of staying, it’s not a matter of leaving.

So how on earth is the governor's office going to deal with these businessmen who have already announced that they will never make a living in Zhili again?

Zou Xueyu didn't let Yu Dalian be confused for too long, and he already said: "I issued an official document at the Governor's Yamen before, but required that merchants bring goods and pay taxes according to the price when entering and leaving Zhili?"

Yu Dalian was stunned again.

Is there such a thing?

The accompanying governor's yamen officials came forward, clasped their fists and nodded: "Back to the governor's platform, there is indeed this rule. Compared with the previous official document, all merchants entering and exiting Zhili Road must pay additional taxes. According to the goods they bring, according to the category, the goods

The tax payable is levied from 30% to 50% in proportion to the value.”

The three-cent tax is not much, and goods worth one hundred taels only need to pay three taels of silver.

But the 50% tax is too much. For goods priced at one hundred taels, you have to pay fifty taels of silver.

Zou Xueyu snorted: "Since the government has clearly informed me, let's act in accordance with the regulations. The governor's office has been established not long ago, and the officials are not familiar with it yet. I will return to the office as soon as possible to draft documents for myself and prepare the tax office.

The Department is aware that the Governor's Yamen of Zhili Road would like to request the tax soldiers of the Zhili Road Branch of the Taxation Department to set up customs duties at various official roads, waterways, trails, etc. on the border with Zhili Road, and collect the tax according to the categories and proportions determined by the Governor's Yamen.

The merchants who come and go pay the goods tax in cash."

You can leave, but you must pay money in accordance with the regulations of the Zhili Governor's Yamen before leaving.

Zou Xueyu's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing traces of murderous intent.

He doesn't want to invite the Emperor's Sword to kill people yet, but that doesn't mean he can't let those who dare to resist shed a layer of skin.

Yu Dalian just wanted to shout loudly at this moment.

The governor is wise.

Then Yu Dalian realized that when the governor issued the official document, he had already thought that such a day would come.

He was just waiting for the businessmen to leave.

But what if those businessmen left after paying the taxes?

Yu Dalian could no longer think of what he would do next.

But Zou Xueyu is still arranging things: "The Cultural and Taxation Office has learned that the Zhili Governor's Yamen wants to use the mouth of the tax soldiers of the Zhili Road Tax Division of the Taxation Office to spread the word in the counties and villages under the control of the 18th Prefecture of Zhili.

The notice written by the Governor's Yamen is to inform the people that the Governor's Yamen will only inspect the households with more than 100 acres of land. If there are reports from the people that large households have encroached on fertile land, the Governor's Yamen should take over the case. If this Yamen cannot do it,

When the people ask for orders, I will bring the faces raised by the people to present to His Majesty the Emperor."

In the first round of confrontation on the Zhili Road, Master Dutai resolved it without any injuries.

Yu Dalian's reverence doubled in his heart.

Although the Governor's Yamen has not yet taken action, he knows that as long as the matter is explained, all the things happening on Zhili Road will be resolved immediately.

Even the governor can use this incident to continue to dig deeper, take away the authority of the 18th Zhili Prefecture, and then give those people a heavy blow.

Yu Dalian smiled happily, cupped his hands and stepped forward and said: "The governor is wise! Now let the public know that the Governor's Yamen will only inspect those with more than 100 acres. The local people will definitely stand with the governor. After all, ordinary people

No one can own hundreds of acres of land, but it is the greedy gentry, the so-called famous families, who have thousands of acres of fertile land at home!"

Those people in Zhili Province wanted to use the people to provoke a confrontation between the people and the Governor's Yamen, so as to make the Governor's Yamen afraid, and even let the court see the local unrest caused by the Governor's Yamen.

But Zou Xueyu's move immediately divided the local people from those people.

He just told everyone in the Zhili Realm who he wanted to target in such an open and honest manner.

Prefect Yingtian seemed to have seen the scene of those people being slapped in the face.

Zou Xueyu was not happy.

This is just the beginning. Those people at the bottom of Zhili Road can do things such as merchants leaving the business and provoking confrontation between the people and the governor's office.

Who can be sure whether those people will have backup plans?

Right now, it's just a trial.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of Yingtian City.

Maybe I should go to the palace and ask His Highness the Grand Sun to do so.
