When he came to Huiwen County, Zhu Xiaobao discovered that this county was not simple. Because all the families of all sizes were not very powerful, and the number of families was not large, but they lived a very leisurely life because the taxes of these families were reduced by half. The corresponding taxes of the civilians were increased by half. All laws and regulations were beneficial to these families! The reason is that the people of these families were descendants or disciples of the Grand Secretary Yu Wenchang.

"Isn't Yu Wenchang the teacher of the former emperor back then? I will teach some basic knowledge of judging words and plagiarism, and it will be so emphasizing future generations?" Zhu Xiaobao had already known the origin of this county before, but he didn't expect there were so many unreasonable systems! No wonder Murong Feng said that this county is not easy to manage!

"Master! I'll check it out?" The old apprentice actually volunteered. He has now left the great master behind not participating in ordinary things. It's very satisfying to do anything with this master!

"Master! I'll go around, well! I'll help you visit this county too!" Mu Chunyi also walked out and said, this was the first time Zhu Xiaobao personally developed and integrated a county, and her second disciple also wanted to help Zhu Xiaobao have more ideas. Everyone knows that Zhu Xiaobao has left Murong Feng away and wants to do something big by himself!

"Well, okay, you bring Yu Li with you. Your martial arts skills are too low. If something happens, at least Yu Li can guarantee your safety!" Zhu Xiaobao thought for a while before nodding in agreement.

The newly bought house is not small, but there are few rooms inside and the facilities are simple. The two thousand female guards have to set up a tent temporarily and settle down first! As soon as the four elders of the Du family came in, they started to decorate the storefront of the house. This is the Ying Prince's Mansion, of course, it must be of the necessary temperament!

Before Zhu Xiaobao could sit down and take a breath, the county magistrate of Huiwen County had already come down to pay homage to King Ying Qiansui! It was said that he should have greeted Qiansui early at the boundary of Huiwen County, but now this is a matter of course, and Zhu Xiaobao didn't care!

"I have seen King Ying Qiansui!" This county magistrate in his forties kneeled respectfully and bowed respectfully. This was the first time someone had kneeled down to Zhu Xiaobao, which made Zhu Xiaobao a little uncomfortable!

"No gifts, I'll give you a seat to the governor Yu!" This was in his own mansion, so there was no need to be so restrained. Zhu Xiaobao also gave the governor a seat, Ying Xiuxiu and others also acted as maids, brought a stool, and then served tea!

"Thank you, Qiansui! This... is the legendary green tea? Sure enough... it's very strange..." Yu County Magistrate is named Yu Zhongping, and he is also Yu Wenchang's great-grandson. There is an unwritten rule in this county, that is, the county Magistrates recommended it from the descendants of the Yu family and reported it to the court. It has been passed down like this! This is the first time Yu Zhongping has drunk this brewed green tea. He feels that he is used to the familiar sencha, but he cannot adapt to this way of drinking tea!

"Haha! It's normal to be unacceptable to drinking it. I just settled here and haven't prepared tea yet. Please give up!" Zhu Xiaobao smiled and said, "This kind of green tea has never been accepted by people, which makes Zhu Xiaobao a little depressed. In fact, he has been constantly improving and trying. The taste is already very good now, but it still takes a long process to change people's tea drinking habits all at once.

"I dare not! I dare not! I will send some local specialty tea to King Qiansui in the afternoon, which is also

The ancestors of Wenchang were carefully prepared by them back then, and now they are the most famous specialty here!" Yu Zhongping quickly stood up and said respectfully, but it seemed to consciously awaken Zhu Xiaobao, all descendants and disciples of Emperor Chang, and even this specialty was passed down by Mr. Chang!

"Well, you must taste it!" Zhu Xiaobao smiled faintly, but he felt a little impatient. He didn't want to talk nonsense to him, so he simply asked straightforwardly: "Mr. Yu, why are the taxes here differently? Some people's taxes are reduced by half, while most people have increased by half?"

‘Haha! I’m afraid Qiansui doesn’t know anything. This is a rule that has been passed down for decades. When Emperor Yu Wenchang retired and returned home, he was poor and could only build a house. The former emperor thought of his poverty and simplicity, so he waived half of the tax! We descendants and disciples have followed this rule. As for the taxes of the civilians, it has always been like this, and they voluntarily..." Yu Zhongping said arrogantly, but the taxes of the civilians were passed by...

"Oh? So that's the case! However, Yu County Governor Yu and Huiwen County have been owing taxes from the court over the years, and have not paid a penny for two years. What's going on?" Zhu Xiaobao said lightly, his expression seemed very calm!

"Reporting to Qiansui, Huiwen County is vast and sparsely populated, with poor yields, and often droughts and floods. There is no extra money or grain to pay. The court knows this! In fact, Huiwen County has never opened a talk to the court to build a river embankment. This is all paid out by local gentry out of their own pockets! It can be said that he is loyal to the court!" Yu Zhongping said in the end, and he looked very passionate, and Zhu Xiaobao believed it a little!

"Okay! You go back first, and send me the county annals and the county annals of each county to me. I want to see them!" Zhu Xiaobao was too lazy to ask more questions, but just said lazily.

The county magistrate respectfully bowed and said goodbye again, and retreated out in fear, but Zhu Xiaobao just waved his hand!

When Yu Junjun and others left, Zhu Xiaobao slapped the table and cursed: "What? A Grand Secretary who has been dead for decades can still influence such a large group of people, even the entire Huiwen County. Can his disciples be so generous and lazy to eat and be lazy for the rest of their lives? Even the taxes that should be paid are not paid!"

"Xiaobao, this is not a war. These things can only be done slowly! I will wait for Mu Chunyi and the others to come back to see what the facts are, and then make a decision!" Zhu Rong walked out at this time and said softly. She had seen more of this kind of thing. At the time of King Wen's fiefdom, she saw more strange things, so she knew that it was not that easy to deal with these people!

"Hmph! I know, fighting wits and courage! You have seen Douyong, fighting wits and wisdom, hehe, I will let you see it right away!" Zhu Xiaobao suddenly grinned.

"Puff! Then I'll wait and see!" Zhu Rong couldn't help laughing again when she looked at Zhu Xiaobao's appearance. King Ying, who had a serious face just now, has now become a scoundrel again. I really don't know what way he will do to rectify this county!

The next night, the old apprentice and Mu Chunichi came back. Both of them had different expressions. It seemed that the news of the visit was definitely not good news!

"Hehe! Old apprentice, thank you for your hard work, you can talk first!" Zhu Xiaobao poured a glass of wine for the old apprentice very attentively.

"Well, I went to those families with a little reputation and went to touch their houses specifically. Unexpectedly, these so-called descendants and disciples acted despicable and shameless! These families have many slaves and many land industries, but they are hypocritical during the day and do not do personnel affairs at night!" The old apprentice said in a very atmosphere.

"Well! When I saw that county magistrate, I could see this. They did not have the aloofness and righteousness of literati..." Zhu Xiaobao nodded and said. This was his deepest impression of Yu Zhongping and his first choice goal for his preparation!

"The heads and princes of these families recite poems and essays all day long, go to and from places of love and beauty, eat, drink and have fun every day! When they return home, they are also serving three wives and four concubines! This is nothing, but within or between their families, they are forced to get married to men and women every night. At first, I didn't understand what was going on. Later, after listening to the conversation between them, I realized that they kept making the next generation of slaves produced among the slaves, so in less than ten years, the next generation of slaves grew up again, and the slaves in their families were also growing!

Many of these born slaves are not registered! So on the surface, their family has not a large population! There is not much land, but there are a lot in secret! And in order to avoid these slaves from escaping, they are all wearing shackles.

These so-called literati are also afraid of death. Every family supports dozens or even more guards. These people’s martial arts are not weak!”

The old apprentice told all his experiences and hearings in one breath, and finally picked up the wine glass and drank it all in anger!

"Where are you? It seems that you have also investigated a lot of inside information? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so angry, right?" Zhu Xiaobao turned his head and asked Mu Chunyi!

"We are mainly the civilians who checked the rounds! But they said that they were cheated here because the land price here is cheap and the taxes are not high, so of course they came here, but they didn't notice that there was a clause that was written very concealed, saying that they wanted to work for free in their spare time, saying that this was a unique treatment for descendants of sages! Of course, it would be okay not to go, so the tax would be increased by 50%!" Mu Chunyi said angrily.

"Haha! I understand that when these civilians arrived at the homes of the descendants of the sages, they found that they were busy at all, so they could only grit their teeth and voluntarily bear 50% of the tax more than 50%!" Zhu Xiaobao said suddenly.

"Huh? Master, how do you know? Could it be that you gave this idea to them?" The old apprentice looked at Zhu Xiaobao in surprise and asked.

"Fuck! Is this kind of person? I don't know how you cultivated to the great master with your IQ! Shut up and listen to your junior sister finish your words!" Zhu Xiao immediately scolded in anger. This old disciple is too jealous!

"Yes! So those civilians can only bear the extra 50% of the tax! Moreover, the local government is very cruel. Anyone who cannot pay taxes will directly demote the civilians to slaves after more than two years, and such slaves are divided up by these families!"
