Chapter 320 Li Jiren's Scheming
Ziying held the letter in his hand and smiled triumphantly, thinking that the prince was truly a man of great foresight.
The fourth Saker Falcon flew towards Jiyang, carrying the intercepted letter and Ziying's letter.
There were three carrier pigeons following behind him.
In recent days, there has been a lot of complaints in Los Angeles.
The imperial court was going to war, but the treasury was not well-off.
In the past few years, various additional fees were set up to fill the national treasury, but now taxes are directly increased.
In Baiyun Village, Wang Daxin, Han Dachuan, Bai Yonggui and others were so angry that they cursed in low voices.
Although their braised pork stalls have high profits, the imperial court is now too unethical. It does not consider the cost and directly imposes taxes at 40% of the turnover. This is robbing money.
Han Hongzhi, Fifth Uncle, and Bai Jianian also sighed.
There is a braised pork shop in the village, and life is getting better and better.
Although some people tried to seize the shop in the past few months, the matter was resolved after Wang Daxin went to Lu's house in the south of the city.
Their lives were supposed to be better in the future, but with such high taxes now, how much money can they still earn?
While they were talking, Han Qingshan and Zhao Chun came back.
When the two of them just returned to Luocheng, they went back to the village, but their families were no longer there. They only met with the people from Fengye Village and then left.
Now Lin Pingyuan was going to war, and he didn't tell them where he was going, but only asked them to say goodbye to their families.
Hearing Han Qingshan say that a war was about to start, Han Hongzhi and the others became even more worried.
Among the people who were conscripted from Fengye Village and Baiyun Village last year, except Han Qingshan and Zhao Chun, all others are still staying in Minzhou Prefecture.
There is no war in Minzhou Prefecture now, so they are not too worried.
Unexpectedly, Han Qingshan and Zhao Chun had to go to war with the army shortly after they returned, and no one knew where they were going. Han Hongzhi patted them on the shoulders and told them to be careful on the battlefield.
Seeing that several people looked worried, Zhao Chun couldn't help but ask what happened.
When they heard Wang Daxin say that the court collected 40% of the turnover as tax, they were both shocked.
The tax rate has been raised, but the original land occupation fee and security fee will continue to be collected.
If 40% of the profit margin is barely acceptable, charging based on turnover is pure money grabbing.
Not only has the commercial tax been raised, but the grain tax, which was originally a small measure, has been changed to a large measure, and now the large measure remains unchanged, and the tax rate of ten to one has been changed to ten to three.
Those who fled here were originally supposed to have their grain taxes exempted for three years, but now they are no longer exempted.
"The court is going too far. Isn't this forcing the people to live in poverty? No, I'll go talk to General Lin. General Lin is the most trusted by the emperor. If he can persuade the emperor, maybe the emperor will listen."
Han Qingshan was about to walk out when he was stopped by Zhao Chun.
Zhao Chun was speechless about his stupid brother-in-law.
Does he really think Lin Pingyuan is a good general who serves the country and the people?
"What's the point of General Lin's words, given the imperial court's order? Besides, General Lin's mind is now focused on preparing for war, so how could he have the time to care about these things?"
"That's because General Lin doesn't know. If he knew, he would definitely advise the emperor."
Zhao Chun wanted to take off Han Qingshan's head, drain the water inside and then put it back.
But he couldn't explain it too clearly.
His brother-in-law is honest and straightforward, and everything is written on his face.
Fortunately, his brother-in-law was naturally stupid, and Lin Pingyuan thought he could use them both, so after Han Qingyun and others went to Jiyang, he let them stay in the position of captain.
As long as he followed his brother-in-law, pretended to be stupid and nodded in agreement, he could deceive Lin Pingyuan.
So, Han Qingshan is still stupid.
Zhao Chun didn't want to talk too much with Han Qingshan, so he just pulled him aside to talk about other things...
At Prince Lin's Mansion, Li Jiren received Ziying's message and carrier pigeon, chuckled, and then handed it to Han Qingyun.
Han Qingyun looked at the young man in front of him who was only nineteen years old, and felt both admiration and emotion in his heart.
In the original book, Li Jiren was the founding emperor of the Northern Ji Kingdom. After establishing the country, he quickly integrated the people of the three most difficult to tame tribes, the Qiang, the Northern Rong, and the Yan Kingdom, into the Northern Ji Kingdom.
His scheming almost deceived himself.
Li Jiren originally planned to go to Beirong. In addition to finding out the collusion between Beirong and Luocheng, he also wanted to cooperate with Li Jixin from inside and outside to capture Beirong.
But Li Jixin didn't want his brother to take risks, so he went to Beirong first.
Li Jiren could only find a way to divert the outside world's attention from Li Jixin to himself.
This is one of them.
Let the people in the Los Angeles Palace think they can take advantage of the opportunity.
Now, apart from the so-called secret letter obtained by Emperor Zhaowen, there is no sign outside that Ji Yang is seeking independence.
However, as long as Luocheng sent troops, Jiyang would become independent. Neither the people of the world nor the ancestors of the Li family could blame the Lin Palace.
This is the second.
Lead out the people and evidence who are colluding with the enemy country.
This is the third one.
By using the letters sent from the palace, he guided several enemy countries to achieve the results Li Jiren wanted.
This is the fourth one.
The person who came to attack Jiyang could only be Lin Pingyuan, whom Emperor Zhaowen trusted. He wanted to take the opportunity to avenge Ye Jianan's son's murder and Gao Siwei's humiliation.
This is the fifth one.
When Li Jiren attacked foreign tribes, Emperor Zhaowen attempted to attack Jiyang. Prince Lin's palace counterattacked and entered Luocheng, which was also a legitimate reason.
This is the sixth one.
A letter exposed the fact that Emperor Zhaowen had planted spies in Jiyang. Not only did all the officials feel uneasy, but these people would also serve as witnesses when the innocence of Prince Lin's Mansion was restored in the future.
This is the seventh one.
Ji Yang is the home base of the Northern Army. The Ji Yang Army has long been accustomed to the cold and harsh climate. The people of Ji Yang are united and the whole nation is ready to fight.
Dayu's soldiers are accustomed to the warm climate and are tired from the long journey, so they will only suffer losses in Jiyang.
Prince Lin's Mansion can eliminate the largest number of Dayu's troops with the least losses.
This is the eighth one.
What a scheming person!
Han Qingyun sighed in admiration and calmed himself down.
The three letters Li Jiren received were addressed to Western Qi, Northern Rong and Yan respectively.
The content of the letter was that when Lin Pingyuan's army attacked Jiyang, Xiqi tied down the troops in Yucheng, making it impossible for Prince Qing to support Jiyang.
Beirong and Yan State, together with Lin Pingyuan, attacked from three sides, captured Jiyang, and killed everyone in Prince Lin's mansion.
Li Jiren took out all the letters he had intercepted before.
Han Qingyun shook his head. The background of Queen Mother Chen was truly unfathomable. Western Qi, Northern Rong, Yan, Dongling and Southern Lai were all connected to her.
"Uncle Han, can you imitate this calligraphy?"
Han Qingyun tried to write a few words, but was not very satisfied.
He tried a few more times, and finally wrote a letter that even Li Jiren could hardly tell was genuine, and then he nodded in satisfaction.
Li Jiren also laughed.
The contents of the three letters are basically the same: Li Jixin has gone to the south to purchase food and grass, Li Jiren is preparing his troops to go, but it is unknown what his intention is; Luocheng has sent Lin Pingyuan with a large army to disrupt Jiyang's deployment; Lin Pingyuan is a pawn to consume Jiyang's strength, and after Luocheng's real army meets up with Lin Pingyuan, the three kingdoms are requested to choose the right time to act; during this period, it is imperative to keep the troops in place and not make fearless sacrifices. When the Jiyang army is defeated and exhausted, it will be the time for the three kingdoms to attack Jiyang.
In addition to the above content, the letter sent to Beirong added another sentence - Lin Wangfu seems to have discovered the truth about Wuping County. Beirong must make preparations early. While Fengyuan and Jiyang have not yet joined forces, arrange for people to sneak into Dayu as soon as possible and kill the three people from Lin Wangfu.
"Prince, can you ensure that the people of Luocheng have severed their ties with these countries?"
"Don't worry, I have arranged personnel for Laiyang Pavilion, Duke Ying's Mansion, the officials, and the palace."
"In the palace?"
Li Jiren's eyes reddened. "Grandmother's death was suspicious. It took me two years to gather enough personnel to investigate the truth. When we attack Luocheng in the future, I will definitely seek justice for Grandmother."
"Is there enough food and fodder?"
"There's still a lot of grain coming from Lin'an Prefecture and other places. I've also asked Second Imperial Uncle to exchange all the money Aunt Lu earned from selling her pearl necklace for grain. That necklace is precious, and I'll definitely return it to its rightful owner."
Han Qingyun smiled awkwardly. The necklace was really not expensive to him.
But he didn't say anything.
