Chapter 1173 Outrageous

"Ha, you do know how to dream." Gu Dagui sneered: "We share the dividends from the workshop with the eldest brother, but we always take the majority. The eldest brother already has less money than us, and we still have to give it to Brother Xing. I am going to prepare a betrothal gift. How much private money can you give me? Fifty taels would be good."

Do you think your eldest brother is a mountain of gold that you cant dig out?

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen was finally happy. She straightened Gu Dagui's messed up clothes and said, "Look at you, you're still angry. I just asked casually and didn't want to do anything to you."

Bah, Gu Dagui sneered: "Are you asking? It's obviously a beating!"

Gu Dagui felt that he was really wronged and had tried his best to treat Mrs. Chen, but this woman always had to question her with suspicion.

Am I so unworthy of your trust? Gu Dagui asked.

Mrs. Chen laughed and said, "Why, I believe in you the most."

Gu Dagui chuckled: "I believe you are a ghost."Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Obviously I didn't believe him, for fear that he would raise a child outside, so I kept holding on to the family's money and didn't let him have any money at all. Once he has money in his hands, she will go crazy.

However, Gu Dagui understands why Chen is like this. To put it bluntly, she is afraid. Growing up in the old Chen family, she has developed a temperament that people are unreliable and only thinks that money is the most reliable, so she holds on to the money.

"I know you feel uncomfortable, but that is all in the past. Now you have a man, a son, and a lot of money. Your life is stable and you don't have to worry about anything anymore." Gu Dagui said. Holding Mrs. Chen's hand, she said: "I have never disliked you because of your mother's family affairs. If I really disliked you, I would have divorced you with a divorce letter when the Chen family came to make trouble."

The Chen family was much more troubled than it is now. Mr. Chen even wiped his neck, and his father was so angry that he forced him to divorce his wife and even kicked Mr. Chen out of the house.

But he felt that this girl was too pitiful. Since he had married her, he should treat her well... In the end, the matter with the old Chen family was settled, and they spent more than ten years fighting.

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she burst into tears. She cried so hard that she even made Gu Dagui shed tears. He comforted her: "Don't cry. Everything is over. Our family will be fine in the future." With Mr. Xu taking action, the Chen family is..."

Su Tongzhi was in charge of these matters. He frowned and said, "Master Magistrate, I'm afraid this will be difficult to handle."

Gu Zhifu: "This is an imperial edict issued by the emperor himself. It must be done even if it is difficult to handle."

He then pointed at Tang Tong and said, "Master Tang will help you. If anyone dares to disobey, he will be arrested."

Tang Tongpan's face was a little stiff, he shook his head and said: "Sir, I only have a few government officials and prison guards under my command. If there is a serious challenge and there are more people on the other side, I won't be able to do it."

This sentence is alluding to: This matter may cause some people to fall off the grass or rebel. When the time comes, hundreds, thousands, or thousands of people will cause trouble, and his people will not be able to handle it.

Gu Zhifu said: "I also know that I am embarrassing you two adults, but this is the emperor's order. If we don't do it, we will die... Let's do this. I will say hello to General Guo at the garrison camp of Fucheng and ask him to send troops to help. Even if there is trouble, it can be suppressed quickly."

He added: "Our He'an Prefecture is considered good, and the people are relatively affluent. The prefectures and counties close to Zhongzhou are not so good. They are very poor. If something happens, it will happen in those places first. If someone blocks the front, we can do it." rest assured."

When there is chaos in some places, the capital will send troops over, and they will also show mercy to those places that are not yet in chaos. Even if the tax revenue is not equal, the capital will not blame them.

Tang Tongpan and Su Tongzhi both heard this metaphor, nodded with a smile and said: "That's what your Excellency said."

but

Su Tongzhi asked: "Is the anti-war tax too high?"

The poll tax is already being collected, but the military tax still costs one tael of silver per person. That's one tael of silver per person, not per household. This is outrageous.

Nowadays, there are many families with multiple generations living under the same roof. There are dozens of people in the family, old and young. They cannot afford to pay the war tax alone. It is simply hard to live.

After hearing this, the ancient magistrate looked at Su Tongzhi and said in a cold voice: "Master Su, be careful what you say."

Whether it is high or not, whether it should be collected or not is not something they can say. This is the emperor's order, so they can just follow it.

Su Tongzhi's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, please forgive me, but I made a mistake."
