my wife is mulan

"Yes, General!" Yazhu clasped his fists in agreement, waved his hands and shouted: "Take them all away!"

"Wait!" Luo Heiying yelled, "General, you can't arrest us. We are officials and we are handling cases. We are flooding the Dragon King Temple!"

Hua Mulan walked up to Luo Heiying with a dark face and asked with a sneer, "When did the government's arresters have the power to manage public security and police affairs? The emperor has already ordered that the right wing army be responsible for patrolling the city day and night. Just focus on investigating the case, but law enforcement indiscriminately, over and over again, if this general doesn't show you some color, you will think that my right-wing army is a soft persimmon easy to bully! Come, take away!"

"Go, go!" The soldiers drove Luo Heiying and other arresters.

Tuoba Jun shouted: "I am the prince, you can't catch me, let me go, otherwise I will never forgive you!"

The identity of the prince is indeed too scary, and the generals are a little scared and hesitant.

Seeing this, Hua Mulan walked over and punched him on the stomach again, and then on the cheek again, causing him to vomit blood.

"Let me listen to General Benben. Whoever disobeys orders or bends the law for personal gain will be punished for the crime of disobeying military orders!"

None of the soldiers dared to hesitate any longer, escorted the cursing Tuoba Jun and Luo Heiying and other arresting entourages away.

Cheers came from the crowd: "Okay, good catch!"

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty!"

The reputation of the female general Hua Mulan who defies the powerful, enforces the law fairly, and has strict military discipline quickly spreads in Pingcheng.

Chapter 460

Youzhou, Ji County.

Zhao Junsheng stood on the steps of the courtyard of the governor's mansion, and the subordinate officials of the governor's mansion, officials of all sizes stood neatly in the courtyard below.

"Presumably you all know the new policy that this general is about to promulgate, which is to pay salaries to all officials and subordinates of Youzhou Governor's Mansion and the three counties and ten counties under its jurisdiction; to pay military salaries to the garrisons, state soldiers, county soldiers and county soldiers in all parts of Youzhou! But officials also have to pay one-tenth of their salaries as taxes, and the government collects a certain amount of taxes on the number of acres and property of each household in Youzhou to support this expenditure!"

"It will definitely be difficult to raise taxes from the people. This requires you to find a way to work together. When raising taxes, you must pay attention to the method and attitude of doing things. You must maintain majesty and toughness towards the people, but you must not provoke them. Civil uprising! If someone intentionally stirs up trouble and stirs up civil uprising, local governments and officials must respond quickly, severely suppress it, and never tolerate it!"

"But at the same time, if some officials do not pay attention to methods and provoke a large-scale civil uprising, the Governor's Office will be held accountable. Whoever does it well and whoever does it badly will be recorded as political achievements. Those with outstanding abilities will be given priority for promotion. Appointment, if the success is not enough, if the failure is more than the failure, the lighter will be fined, the more serious will be dismissed from the official position, and the crime will be punished to cause the anger of the people!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng's tone changed, and he said earnestly: "Everyone, if you feel that you have talents and are underappreciated, and that you were not rewarded for your meritorious deeds or punished for your deeds, then from now on, this general will give everyone a fair treatment." Opportunity, all officials under the rule of Youzhou, regardless of origin, regardless of high or low, regardless of whether he is a son of a prince or a noble family, or a poor family, or a commoner, as long as he has political achievements and meritorious service, he will have equal opportunities for promotion and promotion. Even small officials, as long as they have talent, this general can consider making exceptions for promotion, breaking the boundary between officials and officials, and promoting small officials to officials! The opportunity is in front of you, and it depends on you whether you can seize it Already!"

After hearing what Zhao Junsheng promulgated, the officials talked a lot.

Many civilians and poor officials and small officials saw hope, and their hearts were hot. Officials from noble families and vassals of princes were a little unhappy, but there was also competition among these people.

Zhao Junsheng told Pei Jin: "Master Pei, you are fully responsible for the collection of taxes. Before collecting taxes, you must investigate the number of acres of land and the business of the shops that are subject to collection. Anyone who conceals the number of land and shops will be punished with ten Double the penalty! Report the progress of tax collection to the official at any time!"

"Yes, General!"

In the next period of time, tax increases were carried out in various parts of Youzhou, and news continued to spread from the three counties and ten counties to the Governor's Mansion.

Compared with those Xianbei aristocrats and high-ranking gentry, the increase in taxes for common people and businessmen encountered much less resistance, and progressed relatively smoothly.

The tax increase for farmers is mainly based on the number of acres of land. Only a family with land property has to pay a little more tax, and those without land property do not have to pay, which reduces resistance.

And those who own a large amount of land are those small landlords, big landlords, aristocratic families, and noble families. The Xianbei nobles have the most land. They not only have land acres, but also a large number of pastures. It is Zhao Junsheng who issued this decree to increase taxes on this part. the key of.

The land owned by the gentry and Xianbei nobles ranged from a few thousand acres to hundreds of thousands of acres. In order to avoid paying taxes, almost all the nobles and gentry concealed the number of acres of land from the government, and even the number of shops in the city.

It is much simpler to increase taxes on shops. Officials bring the tax collectors directly to each shop to collect taxes. Whoever fails to pay will be forced to close the shop and put a seal on it. The same is true for setting up stalls on the street.

The biggest resistance and difficulty in tax collection is the tax collection of the nobles and nobles who own a large amount of land. These people take out the land deeds, and there is a huge discrepancy between the books and the land they actually own.

In order to solve this problem and prevent the gentry and nobles from taking advantage of the loopholes and finding out all their hidden fields, the government can only send a large number of officials and small officials to the fields for actual measurement and registration.

But most of the officials in the government are from the gentry and nobles. How can these officials work hard?They even gave the gentry who had a lot of land and pastures

And the nobles tipped off.

The gentry and nobles who got the news in advance organized many people to stop the officials sent by the government from measuring the acres in the field, and there were even incidents of officials who were in charge of affairs being beaten to death by groups.

Pei Jin reported to Zhao Junsheng: "General, the Xianbei nobles and gentry strongly opposed the tax increase. The resistance was so great that it was almost impossible to proceed. Those people sent people to obstruct the officials sent by the government, and several conflicts occurred. Countless officials have died in the conflict!"

After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng's face turned cold, "It seems that some tough measures are going to be used. Others are killing chickens and scaring monkeys. This time, this general will kill monkeys and scare chickens! Come on!"

Li Bao walked in and cupped his fists: "What orders does the general have?"

"Send an order to Yuchi Yandong and Bai Jinguang to get the Youzhou Army ready for battle!"

"Yes, General!"

Pei Jin couldn't help asking: "Who is the general going to attack?"

"You'll find out soon enough!"

With the assistance of his own soldiers, Zhao Junsheng put on armor and a helmet, hung a sword on his waist, walked out of the hall of the government office, rode on a horse and led his personal guards to the Youzhou army camp.

In the past two months, Zhao Junsheng has been very effective in training and rectifying the Youzhou Army and the soldiers and horses under Youzhou. His authority has been deeply rooted in the army. The order is obedient, because they also benefited and benefited from the decree issued by him.

"General, the 3000 troops in Youzhou have all been prepared and are ready to go out at any time, please order the general!" Yuchi Yandong reported to Zhao Junsheng with his fists clasped.

Zhao Junsheng yelled: "Everyone listen to the order and follow me!"

The soldiers followed Zhao Junsheng out of the barracks, and Yuchi Yandong followed Zhao Junsheng hesitantly. He wanted to ask Zhao Junsheng where he was going to take the army. After all, whoever the army wants to fight with must fight with the whole army. Do the soldiers have an explanation?

But Zhao Junsheng obviously didn't intend to tell Yuchi Yandong, and Yuchi Yandong couldn't say anything. Now that Zhao Junsheng has fully controlled the military and political power of Yan County and Fanyang County, if he goes against Zhao Junsheng, he will definitely stay here. not go down.

Not long after, the army arrived under a Wubao in the eastern outskirts of Jixian County. The people on the Wubao saw a large number of soldiers and horses approaching quickly, and they were so frightened that they quickly closed the gate of the fort. The old Baoding ran to the top of the city with his weapons.

The army stopped under Wubao. Yuchi Yandong was no stranger to this place. He was shocked and said: "Is the general going to attack the Baba family? Although they have been deposed as princes and most of their children are idle at home, but they have a lot of contacts in the court, and there are many former students and old officials, if the general takes action against Ba Ba's family, it will stab a hornet's nest!"

Ever since Babasong supported Tuobapi to fight against Tuobajian, his sons have stood against Tuobajian. His sons and grandsons were dismissed and imprisoned one by one, but many court ministers began to intercede for the Baba family. Tuobajian originally wanted to wipe out the Baba family, but there was too much resistance in the court, so he could only send Babasong's sons to prison. All were dismissed, and the title of King of Peking was also deprived.

But in any case, Baba's family tree has big roots and deep roots, and a dead camel is bigger than a horse, so it still has a great influence in Youzhou and the court.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Yuchi Yandong, and said coldly: "Do you think this general doesn't know this? Today the Japanese general is attacking the Baba family! The general asked you, Ben is going to attack the Baba family's Wubao, do you Want to disobey?"

Looking at Zhao Junsheng's eyes, Yuchi Yandong felt a chill in his heart. He believed that if he disobeyed, Zhao Junsheng would definitely do him justice.

At this point, Yuchi Yandong has no choice but to bite the bullet and clasped his fists: "The general dare not, the general is a soldier, the general orders, the general will absolutely obey!"

Zhao Junsheng stopped looking at him, looked up at the Wubao and shouted: "Where is Babatui?"

A 60 to [-]-year-old veteran appeared on the top of the Wubao castle, "This old man is Ba Babai, why did Governor Zhao bring an army to our Wubao? Is it possible that you want to attack my Baba family's Wubao?"

Zhao Junsheng Gao

He shouted: "Ben will give you the last chance for Baba's family to immediately pay the increased tax according to the actual acres of land, otherwise don't blame Ben for being rude!"

Babayu was furious: "Bastard, my Baba family has served the royal family for several generations, and I have worked hard. You, a lowly Han, dare to ride on the head of my Xianbei to shit and pee. Xianbei brothers in the city, you are Xianbei warriors. Why obey the orders of a Han Chinese?"

Zhao Junsheng's face changed, and he drew out his saber and was furious: "The Baba family is openly fighting against the government, obstructing the increase of taxes, the whole army obeys orders, and prepares to attack the city!"
