"Taxes set by the court?" Uncle Niu looked up with a bewildered look on his face. How could he not understand what these words meant?
Zhang Rang hurried to Uncle Niu's side, leaned down and whispered in his ear about the taxes planned by the court.
Uncle Niu's eyes turned red instantly, and he collapsed on the ground powerlessly:"How could this be? How could this be? If I only had to pay these, how could my family starve to death? Although life was a little harder, we wouldn't starve to death!"
Looking at Uncle Niu's expression and listening to Uncle Niu's collapsed words, Emperor Ling was even more furious.
He suddenly stood up, pulled out the sword hanging behind him, and cut off the corner of the table with one sword:"Rebellion! They all rebelled! So this is how the world has come to this point! This is how the Yellow Turban Army appeared!"
Faced with the angry Emperor Ling, Zhang Rang became more curious about the content of Wu Si's letter, but he didn't dare to speak casually at this time.
Emperor Ling called him"father", but he couldn't really regard himself as the"father" of Emperor Ling. The calm Emperor Ling suddenly felt supreme sadness and loneliness. Looking around, he found that there were enemies everywhere.
He was not a fool, he was just not that smart, so he could still distinguish the truth from the false in what Wu Si said.
In addition, after learning the real situation of the people from Niu Da, Emperor Ling was more convinced of what Wu Si wrote.
Of course, the Han Dynasty's arrival at this point was by no means as simple as Wu Si said, but for Emperor Ling, he needed an excuse at this time, an excuse that would allow him to do something, and an excuse that would continue the Han Dynasty!
Although he was incompetent as an emperor, the world was surnamed Liu after all, and he couldn't let the throne be taken by someone of a different surname!
Therefore, the current situation where the powerful nobles controlled most of the resources must be changed!
But how to do it?
At this time, Emperor Ling suddenly thought of it. Zhang Rang had mentioned Wu Si’s idea before, and it had also been written down in the letter. The civilian army hoped to have a place where they could live and work in peace in Yizhou.
Yizhou...
Xi Jian...
Emperor Lingdi’s eyes flashed with a cold light. Since Xi Jian could not bear the responsibility of Yizhou Mu, it would be better to teach him to someone who really treated the people well.
However, how to reasonably hand over the responsibility of this state Mu to Wu Si?
This problem made Emperor Lingdi feel troubled again.
Since he couldn’t think of it for the time being, he might as well give him a hint and let him make some achievements, so that he could take over the post of Yizhou Mu. Leave it to him.
After all, he is an unparalleled general, so it should not be difficult for him to achieve such a feat.
His eyes lit up, and Emperor Ling thought of a very good idea. He felt that he was still very smart, and he thought of a way to curb the powerful and nobles so quickly.
However, when Emperor Ling looked at Uncle Niu who was still dazed below, he suddenly felt a headache.
After all, he was a peasant, and he was shocked by such a small piece of news. Emperor Ling waved his hand and said,"Help him down to rest, let the imperial doctor take a look, and come to see me after he recovers."
As Emperor Ling said this, the guards waiting outside the hall immediately came in and dragged Uncle Niu away.
The anger in Emperor Ling's chest subsided. After throwing the long sword to the ground, he looked at Zhang Rang's face, which did not change much, and asked with a smile:"Father Rang, do you want to know what the military officer said?"
Zhang Rang bowed and replied,"I dare not."
Emperor Ling smiled meaningfully:"Father Rang, how do you collect taxes near your family?"
Zhang Rang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed and said,"Of course it is collected according to the regulations of the country, and no more is taken."
Emperor Ling smiled, picked up the prescription, and walked away. When he passed by Zhang Rang, he patted him on the shoulder and said,"Let's do it. Father Rang is indeed my confidant."
Zhang Rang's breathing stagnated. He already understood what Emperor Ling meant.
Although he was very unwilling, he could do nothing about it now. Everything he had was given by Emperor Ling. If he lost Emperor Ling's favor, he would lose more, even his life!
What on earth did that damned Wu Si say in the letter that even affected him!
Zhang Rang couldn't help thinking about this viciously.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Emperor Ling did not take all the letters when he left, but only took the one that made him happy.
Knowing this, Zhang Rang looked outside the door and found that no one was behind him. He quickly picked up the letter on the table and stood there to read it.
It was just a few thousand words, but Zhang Rang read it very quickly.
Putting down the letter, Zhang Rang's eyes showed admiration and anger, but in the end they all turned into sighs.
"Jian is in the emperor's heart... With this article, Wu Si will definitely become a sharp blade in your majesty's hands in the future!"
At this moment, the previous conversations suddenly flashed through his mind. He stared at the empty gate in front of him with his eyes wide open in disbelief. He could not have imagined that Emperor Ling was so bold!
"This is enlightenment! An enlightened emperor...what kind of changes will this crumbling court bring?"
Wu Si, who was unaware that Luoyang, the center of the Han Dynasty, was about to roll up a storm that would sweep across the world, was now leading the People's Army to station in a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack with a mountain as the center.
After many days of marching, Wu Si had gone from knowing nothing about military affairs to having some experience now.
It must be said that war is really a test of people.
The entire appearance of the People's Army had undergone a drastic change at this time. Because of the indoctrination of the ideas that Wu Si had always insisted on, this notorious Yellow Turban Army had now completely become a powerful People's Army with extremely strong combat effectiveness and firm beliefs.
The size of the entire People's Army has also grown from thousands at the beginning to People, expanded to the current 30,000.
What made Wu Si even happier was that he finally had counselors to join him.
Although they were all unknown unknown people, and they were also from farm families who were lucky enough to receive some education, for Wu Si, this showed that his team finally had a decent framework.
And the road he envisioned finally took the most important half step, and the remaining half step required good news from Dian Wei and Uncle Niu.
After walking for almost two months, Dian Wei and Uncle Niu finally came to Wu Si with a team of guards.
The angel sent by the court shouted loudly:"The people's army accepts the order!"
Wu Si and the 30,000 people's army behind him immediately half-knelt on the ground:"We accept the order!"
The angel did not show any abnormality to the half-kneeling actions of Wu Si and the people's army. After all, as a soldier, half-kneeling is a very normal thing.
Only literati would pay attention to kneeling and bowing at this time.
Just like those farm boys who have received some education, they are kneeling at this time.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees……"
