Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

At the gate of the east wall, a group of people pushed through the crowd. The leading clerk took out a piece of cloth covered with words from his arms and pasted it on the city gate.

The people came over, all with worried faces: "Are we going to raise taxes again? We've already raised taxes three times this month, and three of our family members have starved to death. If we raise taxes again, we'll have no way to survive."

"Every time a notice is issued, it's never good news. It's either conscription or tax increase."

"Silence, and listen to me."

The clerk struck the gong a few times, and after the crowd quieted down a little, he told the people the content of the notice.

"The Lord of the County has issued an order that effective immediately, corvée labor will be abolished in Jiangdong County, and taxes will be waived for one year."

Before he finished speaking, some people couldn't believe it and immediately asked, "Is this true?"

"It's true. The county lord has said that you don't have to do corvée labor anymore. Those who haven't left the corvée team in Jiangdong County will be able to go home and reunite with their families soon. From now until next year, you don't have to pay taxes anymore. From today on, all taxes you owe to the government will be written off."

"Great, no more taxes."

The eyes of the people suddenly brightened up, and the skinny faces finally showed some vitality.

Some even knelt on the ground and cried: "Mom, Dad is saved. He doesn't have to be dragged to the immortal realm anymore."

The clerk struck the gong a few more times, hoping to quiet the crowd, but the crowd was too excited and could not calm down anymore. They ran around to tell others this great news.

The clerk had no choice but to continue explaining the content of the notice.

"The county lord also said that the conscription of civilians to build the immortal realm and the increase in taxes every month were all orders from the tyrant. The county lord once wrote a letter to persuade the tyrant, but the tyrant wanted to kill the county lord without any reason. The county lord had no choice but to rebel against the tyrant. The exemption of taxes and corvée this time was the county lord's intention."

The clerk's voice was drowned out by the crowd, but there were still people who listened carefully.

Then someone shouted, "Long live the Lord."

"It turns out that all those taxes and corvée labor were done by the incompetent ruler. Such an incompetent ruler is a good thing."

"Yes, it's a good counterattack. Long live the Lord."

"Long live, long live!"

The people were in an uproar, and when they heard that the princess was going to rebel, they all applauded.

Xie Lang was in a corner at the city gate, watching this scene. She was the one who taught the clerk to say this so that the people would know who was the one who was good to them. Otherwise, the people would just think it was an order from the court and the county magistrate was just following orders.

But it was different after hearing these words. The emperor was incompetent, and he was the one who proposed all the corvée and taxes. Naturally, the people directed their anger at him. However, the county magistrate was able to exempt them from corvée and taxes, which immediately won the people's favor.

If the county magistrate rebels, they will support him with all their strength in order to no longer have to live such a hard life.

This is the heart of the people.

Next, Xie Lang ordered people to issue a conscription notice. Anyone who joined the army could immediately receive one tael of silver, two pieces of cloth, and one stone of grain from the government, and would be exempted from taxes for the next three years.

As soon as the notice came out, the people were excited again.

In just a few hours, the conscription team had lined up outside the city gate, and all those who met the requirements had arrived.

…………

Just when Xie Lang was recruiting soldiers, Xie Yuanjing received news of a rebellion in Jiangdong County.

"Your Majesty, Jiangdong County Governor Lu Dongli not only had people kill the angels sent by the court, shouting 'destroy the unjust, punish the tyrant', but also openly recruited soldiers to rebel against Liang. Lu Dongli is planning a rebellion!"

The person who said this was one of the people in the team led by Wang Li to capture Lu Dongli. He was released by Xie Lang.

At this time, he was kneeling on the ground, reporting to Xie Yuanjing.

"How dare you! Traitor, you are a traitor!!"

Xie Yuanjing was so angry that he slammed the table several times, and his hands turned red.

Jiang Nishang looked at him with heartache, and took Xie Yuanjing's hand and sat on his lap: "He is just a traitor, he won't be able to do anything. As long as we send a hundred thousand troops, we can suppress him quickly."

"You're right. He's just a traitor. I never took him seriously." Xie Yuanjing nodded, but he was still very angry.

The angel was killed, and it was a blow to his face.

"One hundred thousand soldiers, isn't that too much of a favor to him?" Xie Yuanjing sneered, "Wang Huanzhi, go and tell General Hu Wei to transfer 50,000 soldiers to Jiangdong County to suppress the rebels and capture Lu Dongli and his nine clans. I want them alive, especially Lu Dongli."

"I want him to know the price of rebellion."

"Your Majesty, General Hu Wei has been executed by you."

Wang Huanzhi said dimly, even wanting to laugh in his heart. Just a few days ago, General Huwei submitted a memorial saying that the army's food and wages had been in arrears for a long time, and if they were not paid sooner, they would starve to death.

But because of this memorial, the foolish emperor thought that the other party was mocking him, so he ordered him to be executed.

Now he has forgotten it. Could it be that he has killed so many people that he can't even remember it?

"Then let General Weining go."

"Yes." Wang Huanzhi left after receiving the order. General Weining Zhang Tiancheng was a dandy boy. He bought the position of General Weining with money. In fact, he was just a good-for-nothing.

Asking him to lead the troops would be like going to the enemy's place to make a fool of himself.

However, Wang Huanzhi would not remind this.

After Wang Huanzhi left, Jiang Nishang suddenly asked the soldier who reported the incident, "Since the angels are dead, how come you are still alive?"

The man immediately broke out in a cold sweat and spoke in a more humble tone: "Empress, it was Lu Zhaoping, the daughter of Lu Dongli. She was the one who let me back. She was the instigator of this rebellion."

"Lu Dongli had already committed the crime. It was that Lu Zhaoping who chopped off Lord Wang's head as soon as he came in. Lu Dongli rebelled because of her."

Hearing this, Xie Yuanjing became even angrier.

But he would not let this man off: "I sent you to capture Lu Dongli, but you gave me such a result. You are such a waste! Since Wang Li and others are dead, you should die too."

"Someone, pull it down."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

…………

Half a month later, the morning glow dyed most of the sky, and an uprising team had been formed.

Due to Xie Yuanjing's tyranny, people heard about the rebellion and responded one after another. So far, more than 300,000 people have signed up to join the rebel team.

On this day, Xie Lang gathered the soldiers from various camps and climbed onto the platform.

"Dear fellow villagers, I am Lu Zhaoping, the daughter of the governor of Jiangdong County."

Xie Lang shouted to everyone, and the young generals in the front row who heard Xie Lang's speech spread Xie Lang's words to the entire military camp.

"Today, there is a tyrant named Xie Yuanjing who has committed atrocities and built large-scale projects for his own selfish interests. Loyal and good people who tried to persuade him were killed, and villains who flattered him were in power. In the temple, officials are made of rotten wood, and beasts eat the food between the steps of the palace. Disasters have arisen among the people, and lives have been destroyed. Couples have been separated, and the ground is full of starving people."

"The tyrants do not know the suffering of the people, but I do! The tyrants do not reduce taxes and labor service, but I will!"

"Zhaoping hereby promises you that when the tyrant is killed, the world will be stable again. At that time, Zhaoping will take the land of the world and distribute it to the people, so that the people can have land to cultivate, abolish all harsh taxes, and share wealth with you."

At this point, the atmosphere has heated up.

For the common people, all they wanted was to have a piece of land to cultivate without heavy taxes.

What Xie Lang said was what they hoped for. The people's fighting spirit was ignited, and they couldn't wait to kill the tyrant immediately.

Xie Lang watched this scene and shouted out his last words to the crowd of hundreds of thousands: "All soldiers, please follow Zhao Ping and march into Chang'an to defeat the unjust and punish the tyrant!"

"Go to Chang'an, destroy the unjust, and punish the tyrant!"
