Chapter 89 Armed to collect taxes, use cannons to implement the New Deal! (Seeking first order, seeking subscription)
Seeing this scene, the other concierges of the Xu family began to understand that these people from the West Factory were not good at dealing with them, so they hurriedly opened the middle door.
Xichang Official School therefore filed in and began to encircle Xu Mansion along the Chaoshou Corridor.
At the same time, some Xichang official schools also began to shout: "Follow the order to collect taxes, open all the gates quickly, and let the family master come to see you!"
Xu Yuanqing, the Patriarch of the Xu family, had already known about this from his slaves, and was surprised and angry at the moment. What was surprising was that there were still people who were so bold and trespassed on his Xu family without first posting a post to ask for permission. People who respect their Xu family.
And because Xu Yuanqing is not as smart as his ancestor Xu Jie and others, he has long been used to being a dandy and arrogant, and he doesn't pay much attention to the government. First cursed: "What is Xichang, how dare you come to my Xu family to play wild!"
Sun Chuanting stepped forward at this time.
Although he held a military position in Xichang, he was actually a Jinshi, so he decided to be courteous first and then soldiers. After all, the Xu family is a noble family in the south of the Yangtze River, so he bowed first and said: "Our Xichang came to your residence to collect taxes, please cooperate. "
Snapped!
Xu Yuanqing slapped Sun Chuanting with a slap, and shouted: "Be worthy of your mother! If you dare to come to my Xu family to collect taxes, who gave you the courage!"
After Sun Chuanting received the slap abruptly, he didn't say anything, only after Xu Yuanqing finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out his waist knife and stabbed it into Xu Yuanqing's abdomen.
Xu Yuanqing groaned and looked at Sun Chuanting in astonishment: "Do you dare to kill me?"
"You offended the emperor's envoy! You should be punished according to the order!"
Sun Chuanting said with a sneer.
"it hurts!"
Xu Yuanqing fell to the ground, clutching his stomach, convulsed, and looked at Mrs. Xu with regret and panic: "Mother, me!"
Mrs. Xu was also quite frightened by this scene: "Son!"
Immediately, Mrs. Xu also looked at Sun Chuanting, angry and afraid, and tremblingly said: "You, who sent you, why are you so disrespectful of the king's law, and dare to offend my Xu family like this!"
"Huangcha, didn't you hear clearly, what is the law of the king? Now we represent the law of the king. If you Xu family refuses to accept it, you can rebel."
Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice.
Xu Yuanqing's younger brother, Xu Yuanzuo, is more knowledgeable about current affairs. Seeing this scene, and thinking of the recent rumors about Xichang going south to collect taxes under the order, he also knew that Xu's family had hit the iron plate, so he knelt down and replied: "The Xu family dare not! The taxes that the Xu family should pay will naturally be paid."
"Very good! You are still a sensible person."
Sun Chuanting asked Xu Yuanzuo: "Who is in charge of your family now?"
"It is the late birth."
Xu Yuanzuo replied.
Sun Chuanting nodded, and then ordered: "Department of Experience!"
Not long after, a director of the West Factory Experiencing Department came over, holding the calculated tax bill, and read: "Huating Grand Master Xu's mansion has a total of 86,752 stone grains. According to the sacred decree, Those who have been taxed for more than one year will be fined ten times as much, and the Fu in your house is all for more than one year. Therefore, even if the Fu is added to the fined tax and grain, the amount of grain that should be paid is 954,272 stones."
Xu Yuanzuo began to tremble after hearing this.
Mrs. Xu was also reluctant to hand over so much food from her Xu family, so she knocked on her crutches and said anxiously: "You are acting like robbers, you are robbing!"
"The old lady's words are serious. If it is really a bandit, it will be more than that."
Sun Chuanting replied.
"My Xu family has had hairpins for generations. If you do this, aren't you afraid of being scolded by the world?!"
Xu Yuanzuo also asked excitedly at this time.
Sun Chuanting said: "People in the world have to be reasonable. What's wrong with collecting taxes according to the decree? Do you pay or not?"
Xu Yuanzuo and Mrs. Xu were silent.
Seeing this, Sun Chuanting ordered directly: "Copy!"
So, Xichang Official School rushed in.
Xu Yuanzuo gasped heavily when he saw this, and when he saw these fierce soldiers from the West Factory rushing towards the rent-collecting yard and smashing down the gate of the grain depot, his heart ached for a moment.
Mrs. Xu also hurriedly shouted to her servants: "Stop them, stop them!"
Several house slaves wanted to stop them, but they were shot to the ground by a row of firecrackers as soon as they turned sideways.
The rest of the slaves didn't dare to stop when they saw this, and when they saw the Xichang official school coming, they took the initiative to step aside.
Some house slaves even secretly laughed, showing a carefree intention.
"Carry food!"
The poor local scholars who joined the West Factory and were in charge of material handling hurriedly brought in the recruited Minzhuang and gave orders loudly.
These folks also actively entered the Xu Mansion, packed bags of grain in sacks, and moved to the designated place for weighing under the supervision of the Xichang official school.
Xu Yuanzuo, Mrs. Xu and other Patriarchs of the Xu family are naturally furious, but they can't do anything to the heavily armed Xichang official school now.
From now on, through the compulsory tax collection by Xichang, the Xu family finally paid the full tax for the first time, and was fined a lot at the same time.
There is no unique and even.
The official school of Xichang also carried out armed tax collection for other rich and powerful families.
And these miser-like rich and powerful families seem to generally have no sense of honor to pay taxes. They seem to think that tax evasion and tax arrears are a matter of course, but they have never thought about whether they have the ability to fight against the most violent Xichang tax collector.
"Mr. Shen, bring your broadsword team and firearms team! Kill one person, reward ten taels of silver!"
At this time, in Changzhou, Suzhou, when Huang Degong came to the Xichang Official School to collect taxes from the Shen Shihang family, the head assistant of the Wanli Dynasty, he met Shen Yongjia, the head of the Shen family, who was commanding a group of village braves, and volunteered to the Xichang Official School. Attack.
The member of the Shen clan who was called by Shen Yongjia to be the third child of Shen, after Shen Yongjia did this, stuck his sword on the ground, took up a bowl of chicken blood wine with talisman water on the ground, and drank it.
The village braves behind Shen Laosan also followed suit, picking up a bowl of chicken blood wine with talisman water on the ground.
Bang!
Shen Laosan finished the bowl of chicken blood wine with talisman water first, then threw the wine bowl on the ground violently, saying: "Drink the talisman, invulnerable! Now kill the enemy with me!"
As he spoke, Shen Laosan pulled out the knife stuck in the ground, and strode aggressively towards the Xichang Official School on the opposite side.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The village braves behind Shen Laosan also followed suit. They drank, dropped their bowls, drew their knives, and walked aggressively towards the Xichang official school.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Huang Degong directly asked the Xichang official school to push out the artillery directly, and it was a bombardment at these Xiangyongs, and immediately these Xiangyongs lost countless corpses.
Then, Huang Degong personally led the cavalry to charge from the two wings, holding long spears, charged at these brave men, forcibly chiseling the brave men on both sides before they had time to collapse into a **** road, and paved them on both sides. .
Immediately, the infantry and firearms soldiers also rushed over and attacked these Xiangyongs three times in a row. Many Xiangyongs died on the spot before they had time to run.
Shen Lao San was lucky and quick to respond, and ran over with a few Xiang Yongchao Shen Yongjia: "Second Master! We are defeated, and the talisman water given by the Great Immortal can't subdue these Xichang people!"
Puff!
Shen Yongjia stabbed Shen Laosan to death with a single knife, and then hurriedly walked out of a private house, kneeling on the street paved with bluestone slabs: "Changzhou scholars and people welcome the missions! The missions are so brave. To wipe out the thieves who have caused troubles in Cheung Chau for many years, the scholars and civilians must remember the great grace of God!"
As he spoke, Shen Yongjia showed a flattering smile, his forehead was covered with sweat.
The Changzhou gentry who came with Shen Yongjia also knelt down, trembling.
