Chapter 278 Chaos and riots

Chapter 278 Riots

Zhao Hanzhang took the article to Hu Jin and asked him to stop the book he was engraving and carve out the article first.

Hu Jin took it and read it. He could now recognize many words. He knew nearly half of the words in this article.

Unlike those children who were just beginning to enlighten, he has been engaged in carving work and has been exposed to many words.

Although he didn't know any of them, he only knew how to engrave Yangwen after rubbing, and no one taught him how to pronounce this word or what it meant. But practice makes perfect in everything, and the same goes for engraving.

He could memorize many Yangwen, and naturally he could also remember many characters that were rubbed out of Yangwen. Zhao Hanzhang asked good students to teach him and his apprentices how to read.

He could recognize words faster than the apprentices who studied in the school, and he could also write extremely well.

Hu Jin looked blankly at the manuscript in his hand and asked hesitantly: "This seems to be a curse."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "But he scolded it very well. It would be a pity if such a good article is not shared with the world. Please engrave it and print more."

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and then said: "Just print a thousand copies first. Remember to give me the original manuscript. The rest of the engravings will be designed with covers and sold as a booklet."

Hu Jin: “What’s the price?”

"The price is cheaper, three cents per volume, Wang Yan is worth the price." Hu Jin felt that this sentence was harsh enough. Although he didn't know who Wang Yan was, how could there be a book that cost only three cents per volume?

Although these were just a few letters, there were a lot of words on them, and they were very valuable in Hu Jin's opinion. Anything with words on it was valuable.

Zhao Hanzhang ordered to go down and then left happily.

Sure enough, Zhao Cheng didn't have much reaction after knowing that Zhao Hanzhang took his letter and went out to engrave it and planned to advertise it widely.

If Wang Yan can be scolded to wake up, that would be the best thing. If not, if people with lofty ideals in the world can see it and think more, then his hatred is not unjust.

The matter of enmity has been put aside, and the top priority is the issue of paying taxes.

Zhao Ming still called Zhao Hanzhang and said: "I have dealt with a group of tax collectors for you, but it is not certain whether they will come again, especially now that everything in Runan County except Xiping and Shangcai is in trouble."

"The county magistrate did not hide that the increase in taxes in other counties was due to your inadequacy in paying taxes to Xiping and Shangcai. Presumably many county magistrates were resentful of you at this time, and even the people under your rule also hated you deeply. In the future, you

Be careful when coming in and out."

Zhao Hanzhang frowned, "If you ask me to say that there is no county guard in Runan County, the county magistrate should shoulder the responsibility of the county guard. Now the people in all counties are having a hard time. Such layer upon layer of tax increases are simply killing people. Since the governor has no intention

To participate in this dispute, why do you have to persecute the people so much?"

Zhao Ming: "This is not something you and I can discuss and decide."

Zhao Hanzhang pursed her lips. She had no intention of letting the people of other counties suffer for her. She frowned and thought hard about a solution. But before she could figure it out, Gaoyang was in chaos!

In the middle of the night, while Zhao Hanzhang was sleeping soundly, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door. She opened her eyes and heard the rapid knock on the door. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, reached out and took down the sword hanging on the wall.

Hold it and go out.

A servant was awakened and was already running to open the door. Tinghe looked confused and ran over with disheveled hair, "Girl, what is it?"

"It's okay," Zhao Hanzhang looked around and said, "Have someone climb over the wall to see Mr. Fu Dalang."

Tinghe said "Oh" and led the people over the wall and jumped to the next door. Fu Tinghan, who was standing in the corridor with his clothes on and listening to the noise, quietly watched them climb over the wall.

The maids who were armed with knives and sticks felt a little embarrassed when they saw Fu Tinghan's eyes, and couldn't help but look at the leader Ting He.

Tinghe was also a little panicked and hurriedly explained: "It was the girl who asked us to come here."

Fu Tinghan nodded to them, but stood in the corridor and listened carefully. After a while, he heard the sound of the courtyard door opening, and people hurried in. Soon someone came from the next door and asked Fu Tinghan, "Master, my lady, please"

You go over to discuss matters."

Fu Tinghan just passed by.

Tinghe muttered, "The gentleman is not afraid that our girl is in danger, he has been waiting here..."

Fu An, who was walking with her, heard this, glanced at her and said, "This is the Xiping County Government Office. There is your girl's military camp not far away. Could danger come to the backyard of the County Government Office?"

"Then our girl asked us to come over to protect Mr. Fu Dalang."

Fu An looked her up and down with disgust, "Just you?"

Tinghe got angry after hearing this, raised the stick in his hand, stared at him with cold eyes and asked: "Tell me again, what's wrong with us? Are we going to have a competition?"

Just fight, who is afraid of whom?

Fu An immediately went to see Fu Tinghan, "Dalangjun..."

Fu Tinghan thought for a while and said: "It's late today. You guys have to compete. Choose a time tomorrow and go to the martial arts field. Don't break things at home."

Fu An agreed to Tinghe, "Then we will have a martial arts competition at noon tomorrow."

Tinghe: "Let's compare!"

It was Ji Yuan who knocked on the door, and there was also a petty official from Aoyang County. Is it surprising?

The clerk was holding a cup of hot water, drinking and crying, begging Zhao Hanzhang to send troops, "Those rebels came suddenly, and there were people in the city to help them, so they moved very quickly. They first broke into the prefect's mansion and killed the county magistrate, and then

They also attacked the county government, and the county magistrate is now struggling to support it, but there are too many rebellious people, and the government officials may not be able to hold on for long, so they also asked County Lord Zhao to send troops to quell the rebellion."

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Where did the rioters come from?"

"I really don't know where it came from?"

Zhao Hanzhang frowned, "Are you from another county, or do you know that the people in this county are causing trouble?"

Seeing that the clerk was wiping away his tears and not saying anything, Zhao Hanzhang said: "Now that Magistrate Sun is trapped in the county government office, we will fight from outside even if we want to fight. Once the chaos in the city is stimulated, I am afraid they will be harmful to Magistrate Sun and his family."

, if you can know where they come from, there will be more ways to deal with them."

The clerk then said: "Most of them are people from this county, and a few are refugees from other counties. But the leader among them is a refugee mixed in with the refugees. It is probably him who instigated the people to revolt through the summer tax."

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Who is that person? Do you know him?"

"I don't know him. He came here among the refugees. I heard his name is Chen Wan."

Zhao Hanzhang didn't know him either, so he pondered for a moment and then said: "I will order the troops right now, and please tell me how many rebels there are? By the way, how does your county magistrate collect summer taxes?"

How else can I levy it?

The county magistrate was in Aoyang County. Under his pressure, Magistrate Sun had no choice but to forcefully recruit people. So during this period, the busiest thing in Aoyang County was the population market. Men dragged their daughters and sons to the

They sold them at the market, and when they were sold out and they couldn't collect enough for the summer tax, they sold their wives too. If it wasn't enough...

Then the whole family packed up their things and ran away overnight.

Some people couldn't even run away, so they sent people to guard the roads. Some people were afraid of hurting their relatives, so they hung themselves, jumped into rivers, and ate arsenic.

Because of this, Chen Wan raised his arms and shouted, and many people who could not survive responded. He immediately surrounded the county seat, then rushed into Aoyang County, jumped into the prefect's mansion and killed the county magistrate.

He opened the warehouse and distributed the grain, and then went to surround the county government office.
