Lu Shu's heart was shocked, it wasn't true, but there are exceptions, he thought for a while and said: "The ordinary people of Beiming Kingdom are indeed, and now the people of our Nalan Kingdom are not suffering. When the master rules the world, the common people's Good days are coming!"

They have grain seeds that can produce thousands of catties per mu, and even if they plant one mu of land, they don’t have to go hungry!

Wen Nuan smiled: "Indeed, we have a good emperor in Nalan Kingdom."

After Wen Nuan finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Nalan Jinnian: "When will our army arrive?"

"Five days later."

"When will the army of Beiming Kingdom arrive?"

Most of the soldiers originally stationed in Anfeng County of Beiming Kingdom were transferred to attack Nalan Kingdom, but now that the 300,000 troops were completely annihilated, it was natural that some soldiers had to be transferred from other places.

It also takes time to mobilize troops from various places.

Nalan Jinnian: "Four days later if there are no accidents."

Lu Shu: "In other words, if the enemy army arrives first, they will be able to rest for a day and recharge their energy before fighting again."

Nuannuan and Nalan Jinnian didn't speak, they won't arrive first, they should go to rob food and grass.

~

The entire Anfeng City has been very lively these two days!

Nalan Jinnian didn't allow Nuan Nuan to step out of the courtyard, for this reason, he himself stayed in the room with her all day long.

If there is something to deal with, it is handed over to the people below or Amber.

Because the Beiming court imposed taxes again, every household had to pay food, which caused complaints from the people, and many poor people couldn't help but go to the Yamen to protest.

It is no wonder that the people protested, because there are five or six people in a general family, that is, each family has to hand in about ten catties of grain. Not much, if you put it in a wealthy family, even more than this amount is wasted every day.

But on those poor people, more than a dozen catties of grain are enough for them to eat for half a month!

After all, in this dynasty with backward productivity and production levels, those poor people did not have enough food for a day, and some even only ate the noon meal a day.

However, there is a big gap between the rich and the poor in Beiming Guoanfeng County, and there are especially many poor people. The yamen urges them to pay them hard, and even drives people out of the city!

This caused many people to protest and cry in front of the yamen in the past two days.

The yamen's arresters quickly drove away a group and came again, but it didn't work, and even more and more people came to protest together.

At this moment, countless people are crying here:

"My lord, there is really no food left at home! I beg my lord not to raise taxes anymore! Otherwise, there will be no way out!"

"Since the autumn harvest this year, taxes have been paid twice, and a total of hundreds of catties of grain have been paid! We are not the people of Nalan Kingdom, and we can grow grains that yield a thousand catties per mu! One mu of land can harvest four hundred The catty of grain is already considered a bumper harvest! Now that everyone has to pay two catties of protection tax, why not just grab it!

"A dozen members of our family rely on one mu of land to eat. Last year, we only collected more than 300 catties of grain, and we have already handed over hundreds of catties of grain. If each person pays another two catties, this means that all the grain harvested will be handed over to the local government. We went up, and we have nothing to eat! This is to starve us to death! There is no need for protection tax! We are starving to death, so why do we need protection!"

"Oh my God, the grain harvested in a year is not enough to pay taxes. This is not letting people live! Not letting people live!."

"Why don't other counties collect so much tax, but our county has to collect it! Mr. County Magistrate, come out and explain! Otherwise, we won't pay it!"

"I beg the county magistrate to come out! Give us an explanation! Otherwise, we won't pay!"

Countless people gathered here and shouted.

At the end of the shouting, they all clamored to see the county magistrate!

Seeing more and more people gathered in the yamen, there was even a tendency of people rushing into the yamen to ask the county magistrate Xingshi to question the crimes, and those arresters were so frightened that they ran to the county magistrate.

The head of the county magistrate is getting bigger, so many people gather together, let him go out, then he will not be swallowed by the people!

He said to the head catcher: "Go and tell the people, why do you have to pay the protection tax? If you want to blame it, you can blame the soldiers of Nalan Kingdom! It's not that they want to attack our Anfeng County, so they don't need to pay the protection tax!"

The head catcher said anxiously: "What if the people don't want to listen and must see the adults? Those people are coming so aggressively, they want to rush in! The adults should go and meet and appease the people!"

The head catcher couldn't help slandering: Where is the Nalan Kingdom going to attack their Anfeng County, it is clear that they Beiming Kingdom went to capture the other two counties first, and now they are fighting back!

The magistrate of Anfeng County was so angry that the veins on his forehead were exposed.

The people were coming fiercely, and he even told him to go out to appease the people!

What if those troublemakers hurt themselves?

He roared angrily: "Whoever dares to break in will be put in prison directly! If you break into the yamen, if you have the ability, go and beat those untouchables in Nalan Kingdom! Tell them, if anyone is restless and doesn't pay taxes properly, they will wait until Nalan When the army of the Nalan Kingdom arrives, let them be pawns, let them be the first to fall under the sword of the army of the Nalan Kingdom!!"

After the magistrate of Anfeng County yelled, he glared at the head catcher, and said angrily: "Get out! Get rid of those troublemakers! The enemy army is coming soon, and they are still here to make trouble! Don't worry!"

The head catcher ran out in fright.

He ran out and thought for a while, and arranged for a few people to rush into the crowd and speak something in a rhythmic way, so that the people would transfer their resentment to the soldiers of Nalan Kingdom, so that they would leave.

After the captor finished explaining, he hurried out and said to the crowded and aggressive people: "Fathers, folks, why do you have to pay the protection tax? If you want to blame it, you can blame the soldiers of Nalan Kingdom! It's not that they want to attack us. In Feng County, we don’t need to pay protection tax! When the army arrives, we drive away the thieves from Nalan Kingdom, and get Nalan Kingdom’s method of breeding grain seeds with a yield of 1,000 jin per mu. Everyone’s life will be easier! The imperial court will not let everyone starve to death! The imperial court will only let everyone live a good life!"

As soon as the words fell, some people couldn't help but shouted loudly:

"It's all Nalan country's fault! When will the army arrive, drive away those bastards in Nalan country! If you want to fight, go to Nalan country, don't fight in Beiming country!"

"That's right! Let's take Nalan Nation quickly! Our Beiming Nation is obviously the most powerful country on the mainland, so why did we get bullied by Nalan Nation!"

"Those untouchables in Nalan Kingdom are animals, causing us to pay so much taxes."

At this time, a man couldn't help but exploded: "Fuck you! Why didn't the court of Nalan Kingdom charge more taxes for the people of Nalan Kingdom when Beiming Kingdom attacked Nalan Kingdom? The imperial court also evacuated the people early, escorted them away, and took refuge in other counties! They even helped to escort food and belongings! When we arrived in Beiming country, it was fine if we didn’t escort us out, and we had to collect protection tax. What’s the reason?! We I need to see the county magistrate! We need to explain!"
