The tax police force was completed, and Hong Nanfeng looked at the neat queue with satisfaction. The regular army of the Song Dynasty was so powerful that it made great achievements. Because of its strict military discipline, it participated in various disaster relief operations. Among the people, the bad impression of the Song Dynasty's "thieves are tyrants and troops" for more than 300 years has been completely reversed.

In addition to this army that firmly obeyed the officials, there were only three paramilitary organizations in the Song Dynasty. The engineers were separated from the Song army. The engineers were most proud of being the one who once followed the Zhao official family to divert the Yellow River. The armed police and firefighting troops were also separated from the regular army of the Song Dynasty.

The above two quasi-military forces are closely related to the regular army, and the most special thing is the tax police force in front of us. This is the army ordered by the Zhao official family after implementing the tax reform. The initial goal of establishing a tax-police landlord is domestic tax-resistant landlords, not ordinary poor people. The "troubled people" mentioned by the tax-police force have never been poor Han people. Even if the poor Han people are poor, they dare not refuse to pay reasonable tax burdens.

The experience of the tax police proves the wonderful reality that the unruly people who dare to resist taxes are never poor. The poor people holding wooden sticks have neither the ability nor the courage to resist taxes.

When he walked forward, Hong Nanfeng made a loud announcement before the dispatch. Although the tax police force was not separated from the Song army, most of the cadres of the tax police force had military experience. Before the Song army fought, they had to explain clearly to these soldiers from ordinary families what to do. The more comprehensive the troops knew, the more they could face the arduous battle. This is the experience accumulated by the Song army over the years.

"My comrades, we are going to face several villages that never pay taxes this time. The people in the village seem to believe in the True God Cult. They destroy the measurement benchmark points and drive away the people in the Han village. We will meet these people today to see where they are. Everyone should pay attention to safety. Those people seem to have not taken the court seriously..."

After making a simple and clear speech, Hong Nanfeng asked the troops to prepare the equipment for departure. In addition to preparing the equipment, he was also waiting for a call back. Since it was a quasi-military force, he had the power to use violence. Under the new system of the Song Dynasty, all regular army and quasi-military organizations must have a strict management system. If they were to be dispatched privately, what kind of guys would be like, at least they would be beaten to the end, and at worst they would go to court.

Before the tax police force was dispatched, the permission of several departments was required, especially to report to the court for filing. Fortunately, there is a telegram line now, and the news was much faster. However, Hong Nanfeng was not in a hurry. The tax police force was not a quick response force, and the impact was minimal when it set off one day earlier and two days later.

When preparing here, the tax director You Yong went to Hong Nanfeng's office. Seeing that You Yong was about to close the door, Hong Nanfeng smiled and said, "I opened the door and talked, what are you afraid of?"

When You Yong knew Hong Nanfeng's temper, he opened the door wide and sat in front of Hong Nanfeng and whispered to Hong Nanfeng about the news of Ma Qingchang coming.

"Hmph. It turns out it was him." Hong Nanfeng didn't find it particularly strange.

"That guy seems to want to settle the matter privately." At this time, You Yong put all the responsibilities out. It is never a trivial matter to dispatch the tax police force. The so-called official word is open. There are all kinds of people in the officialdom, and it is unbearable to fight and shirke each other.

Hong Nanfeng is also one of the most talented people, and has seen the trick of shirking responsibility. Hearing Director You Yong say this, he rolled his eyes and asked unhappily: "Are you scared?"

"This guy has always been good at flattering people. If he persuades the prefect or someone else to come out to be a peacemaker." You Yong expressed his concerns.

Hong Nanfeng immediately retorted, "Don't worry. When will the Song Dynasty allow the troublemakers to beat tax officials? I have no malice to the prefect, but if the prefect wants to plead for those people, I want to ask him, is it because he instructed the troublemakers?"

You Yong grinned and smiled bitterly. Most of the guys in the school have experience in military service. In many cases, they are as rough and straightforward as Hong Nanfeng. They do things without caring about official rules. But their straightforward behavior also makes You Yong envious. At least You Yong dare not argue with the Luoyang prefect.

At this time, if the prefect knocks down a big hat of "destroying the river crab", it will seem like You Yong has done something wrong.

I wanted to tell my opponent about the situation and leave, but You Yong felt that doing this was unauthoritable. Before he left, he left, "I support you. Our people should not be beaten."

After finishing the internal affairs, You Yong handled some official duties and was about to get off work. As soon as he was about to go out, someone knocked on the door there. When he saw the person, You Yong couldn't help but be shocked. It's really a fucking thing that Cao Cao was here. The person who came was the secretary of the prefect of Luoyang Wang Quanle.

The secretary smiled and said to You Yong: "Director You, Prime Minister Wang invites you to dinner tonight."

"Okay. Haha." You Yong laughed dryly, "Let me go home and say it to my family first."

In the eighth month of the Song Dynasty, it was dark early. After going home and giving instructions, he rushed to the prefect of Wang Quanle. It was already dark. Wang Lequan did not invite him at home, but was in a restaurant in a Datang Pavilion in Luoyang. The Datang Pavilion is a restaurant with special water cushions in Luoyang. When he arrived at the door of the private room, he saw Wang Quanle sitting in the main seat inside, and Ma Qingchang was sitting next to Wang Quanle.

Now You Yong already knew what would happen. It must be Ma Qingchang who persuaded Wang Quanle to be a peacemaker, trying to uncover the previous Liangzi of Ma Qingchang and the Taxation Bureau. Seeing You Yong come in, Ma Qingchang immediately stood up, and even Wang Quanle stood up.

You Yong smiled and sued everyone, "Sorry, I'll go back and say it to my family today, so you'll have to wait for a long time."

Wang Quanle asked You Yong to sit next to Ma Qingchang. After everyone sat down, he smiled and said, "Just let the secretary say something like this, why bother to talk about it yourself."

"Haha. I don't have a secretary." You Yong replied with a smile. He did not have a secretary like the prefect of Wang Quanle, but he had a guard. However, the reason why You Yong did not allow the guards to report this time was that he wanted to come later.

"Since you are here, everyone will be here. The meal will start!" Wang Quanle smiled.

You Yong didn't say anything, and he was sure that these people did not invite Hong Nanfeng, the senior of the Tax Bureau. Although there was no expression on his face, You Yong felt a little contempt for Wang Quanle. He didn't know that he didn't dare to invite Hong Nanfeng, who was in charge of the tax police force, went to invite Hong Nanfeng, but was rejected. With Hong Nanfeng's personality, there were both possible. The reason why You Yong delayed the time was that he wanted to wait for others to arrive first. If he came early and had a polite "talk a lot" with Wang Quanle and Ma Qingchang, Hong Nanfeng walked in. How embarrassing it would be.

As Wang Quanle ordered the banquet to start, the water ceremonies officially began. Luoyang water ceremonies are a traditional traditional banquet in Luoyang, Henan, and belong to the Henan cuisine. Due to the war, this Datang Pavilion was of course not opened from the Tang Dynasty to the present, but a new store opened after the Song Dynasty recaptured Luoyang. The reason why the name "Datang Pavilion" is certainly based on the strong Han people in the Tang Dynasty. Another meaning is that because Luoyang water ceremonies began in the Tang Dynasty, the name was given to indicate the authenticity of the store.

The water mat was served very quickly. In a blink of an eye, eight cold dishes were served. The eight plates were made of meat and vegetables, and there were 16 different ingredients in total.

After the cold dishes were put on, Wang Quanle picked up the wine glass and said, "Everyone, the official family has regulations to eliminate the bad habits of the wine shop, and not to drink wine and urge them to drink. Everyone is free. Come and have a drink."

These logically contradictory words made You Yong laugh in his heart. He picked up the wine glass, stood up with everyone, clinked glasses, and drank the wine in the glass in one go. The girl waiter serving next to him and sat back on the seats, immediately picked up the wine pot and added wine to everyone.

Wang Quanle took the lead in moving the chopsticks, and the others picked up the dishes in front of him. There was a rotating tray on the table. Ma Qingchang gently turned the wooden rotating tray to change the dishes in front of everyone. Wang Quanle liked the crispness of the sugar water chestnuts. When he saw the peeled snow-white water chestnuts in front of him, he picked up two of them and put them into his mouth.

"Director You, I didn't expect you to still like vegetarian food." Wang Quanle smiled.

"I like to eat sweets." You Yong replied.

"Then eat more." Wang Quanle said warmly.

If someone else said this, You Yong probably felt that the other party was just talking nonsense. After hearing Wang Quanle say this, he began to wonder how rich Ma Qingchang was to be able to speak Wang Quanle. So You Yong moved the turntable and quickly transferred the dishes in front of the person below. If he didn't do this, I'm afraid someone would dare to leave the dishes for You Yong. Although he liked to eat water chestnuts, You Yong also knew that there was no good wine and no good banquet.

Everyone ate all the dishes. Wang Quanle picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, have another drink."

After everyone drank the second glass, the atmosphere began to relax. The so-called "three rounds of wine" refers to three rounds of toasts. You Yong felt that Wang Quanle would probably say something next. Just as Wang Quanle just said that the Zhao Guan family said about urging drinks, the Zhao Guan family was a cheerful person, so the regulations made were very interesting and straightforward. In the past, drinking was a very expensive thing, and a 40-ton banquet was not uncommon. However, 40-ton money was not something that anyone could take.

Since you have taken out such a large sum of money to eat, if someone doesn't drink, the owner who is already bleeding will be unhappy. For the sake of "ritual", even if the guests don't like to drink, they can only drink until they are not rude. Then there is something like drinking to death.

Just as You Yong was thinking about it, Wang Quanle continued, "Everyone, we all serve the imperial court. Something is inevitable between each other. Should we hold on to each other, or take a step back?"

Of course, the one who came to drink was not a fool, and even did not know the conflict between You Yong and Ma Qingchang, and knew that he had to agree at this time. So he expressed his opinion.

You Yong did not say a word, and at this time he confirmed that one of Ma Qingchang's backers was Wang Quanle, the governor of Luoyang. Even so, You Yong still said nothing. If You Yong had just learned that the people from the Taxation Bureau were beaten, Wang Quanle immediately took action. Ma Qingchang's idea might be successful. At this time, Hong Nanfeng from the school had already intervened, so there was no other way.

Everyone on the table said something, but only You Yong didn't say a word. Wang Quanle asked, "Director You, what do you think?"

"Of course, it's better to take one step back." You Yong replied.

After hearing this slimy and slick answer, Wang Quanle could only continue to ask, "I heard that the people from your tax bureau were beaten. Of course, we will not let the tax bureau suffer any losses in this matter. Just leave this matter to the public security department for handling. Director Zhang is here, Director Zhang, what do you think?"

"You dare to hit the people from our tax bureau!" Director Zhang didn't know whether he pretended to be surprised or was really shocked by the news. In short, he made a loud statement, "Don't worry, we will never let the comrades of the tax bureau be wronged. After these kids were caught, let the people from our tax bureau teach them a lesson and relieve themselves."

After hearing this, You Yong couldn't help but smile bitterly. These people were dealing with it very well. If they had dealt with it like this immediately when the matter came out, You Yong wouldn't have refuted everyone's face. But it was too late at this time. With Hong Nanfeng's temper, he wouldn't have let it go so simply.

More importantly, this time the matter was originally ordered by the superiors to investigate. You Yong didn't even want to refute the face of the Luoyang prefect Wang Quanle, so how could he fight against the people in the court?

So after a bitter smile, You Yong picked up the wine glass and said, "Everyone, I also think everyone should help each other. Come on, please have this glass first!"

Except for the prefect of Luoyang, Wang Quanle, everyone else picked up the wine glass. Wang Quanle didn't serve the wine glass, and You Yong didn't care. After all, Wang Quanle was the most official here, and he had the right to do this. He drank the wine first and waited for the others to drink it. You Yong said, "Everyone, it's not that I don't give everyone a face. It's just that we were going to collect taxes. According to the records, there is a place that has never paid taxes since the Song Dynasty recovered Luoyang. Do you think it should be collected? If there is a fight, it's just a conflict. Our tax department was beaten, not once or twice. In Jiangnan, there are comrades from the tax department who were killed. So this matter has nothing to do with the fight, so please forgive me."

The atmosphere immediately became cold during the meal. Wang Quanle said unhappily: "Director You, are you deliberately not making decisions?"

"It's not intentional, I can only do this." After saying that, You Yong stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, I have something to do, let's go first."

When I left the house, I felt sorry for it. The whole table had 24 dishes, including 8 cold dishes, 4 large pieces, 8 medium pieces, 4 table dishes, hot and cold dishes, both hot and cold, meat and vegetables, sweet and salty, and sour and spicy. The order of serving was extremely exquisite. First, put 8 cold dishes as the dish. After the guests had a three-week meal, then serve hot dishes: first serve 4 large pieces of hot dishes, each serving followed by two middle pieces (also called foil dishes or seasoning dishes), called "belts on the court"; finally, put 4 table dishes, one of which was egg soup, also known as guest soup, to show that the whole table was full. The hot dishes must be served with soup, chicken, duck, fish, fresh goods, mushrooms, and all the vegetables in the dishes, shreds, slices, strips, cubes, diced dishes, frying, fried, fried, fried, and fried, endless changes.
