Chapter 797: Another tax increase

797. And the tax

Liang Luoren's face turned pale, and he looked at Liang Shidu in a daze, looking at this man with a hideous face, raising his sword to kill his brother emperor, and his heart hurt for a while.

I think that at the beginning, during the great cause years, when Liang Shidu became the eagle Yang Lang general of Shuofang, how heroic he was, he was the first person of the younger generation of Shuofang, and he Liang Luoren always followed behind Liang Shidu, although he was the son-in-law of the family, but the resources in the family were always inclined to Liang Shidu, Liang Luoren had dissatisfaction and jealousy, but he had no resentment, because he knew that his brother was indeed better than him.

Later, Liang Shidu proclaimed himself the prime minister and openly opposed Sui, Liang Luoren also led the army everywhere, captured all parts of Shuofang, and even once captured Yanzhou, Yanzhou and other places, and tried his best to assist Liang Shidu to build the country, thinking that as a cousin, he has made many meritorious contributions, and his merit is the first, he should be able to tear the soil and seal the king, but no, the brother just let him be the deputy general, let him be the deputy of the thief-born Xin Fang'er, and this will be done for several years.

Now his brother is even more angry with him because of Zhang Ge's death, and for the sake of an outsider, he actually wants to draw his sword to kill him, Liang Luoren's heart is painful.

was stopped by Feng Lu and the others, Liang Shidu's anger also decreased slightly, looking at Liang Luoren, who was paralyzed on the ground and his face was pale, he also moved in his heart, as if he remembered the young man who followed him and called his brother many years ago, but later, he ......

Liang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then threw the sword away, and said directly: "Hmph, get out, go back and think about it behind closed doors." Liang Shidu stepped aside with a face and shouted coldly.

Liang Luoren came back to his senses, looked at the ruthless Liang Shidu, and his heart was like ashes, he straightened up and bowed silently before withdrawing, Liang Shidu thought about it behind closed doors, which means that he Liang Luoren is just a civilian now, and has no power.

Looking at the back of Liang Luoren's resolute departure, Feng Duan frowned slightly, and sighed gloomily, in the current Liang Army, Liang Luoren is not a few generals, and what is even more difficult is that Liang Luoren is a member of the Liang family, and he is loyal to Liang Guo, in Feng Duan's opinion, the current general candidate is undoubtedly Liang Luoren, but Your Majesty ...... Alas, Feng Duan was also helpless and disappointed.

"Your Majesty, Dingxiang has been lost, Ning Shuo is not far away, it is estimated that the Tang army will be in the city soon, General Zhang Ge will be killed in battle, and there are still 13,000 people in the Hulie army, I don't know who is the general?" Feng Duan also asked directly.

When Liang Shi heard this, he drank a glass of fruit wine, waved his hand impatiently and asked casually, "Who does General Huben think is suitable?" "Liang Shi has not been on the board for a long time, and he really can't think of any generals in the army who can be used.

When Feng Duan heard this, he said helplessly in his heart, I want to recommend Liang Luoren, but ...... Feng Duan had no choice but to say: "General Hulie is very important, and it is up to His Majesty to decide."

Liang Shidu was quite happy when he heard this, hum, I still have to call the shots, this Shuo Fang is still mine, and no one can snatch it away.

Immediately, he also asked, "Is Fang'er still alive?" ”

"Still in prison".

"That's it, look at his past merits, let him out, and continue to be my Tiger Lie General, as for the Tiger Wei Army, everyone is dead, so it will be canceled." Liang Shidu said straightly.

After speaking, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had discovered something, and said directly: "Since the Huwei Army has been canceled, then all the military baggage that originally belonged to the Huwei Army will be collected into my inner library, haha."

When Feng Lu Erchen heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can't." Shuo Fang was originally sparsely populated, and it was very difficult to support 100,000 troops, and now there were tens of thousands of troops missing, and the burden of the army just reduced the burden on the people of Liang State, but His Majesty actually wanted to continue to collect this money, and received the arrogance and lasciviousness of the inner treasury, how could Feng Lu and the others allow it, this is obviously cutting their own meat to eat.

At the same time, a eunuch beside Liang Shidu bowed down and sang praises: "Your Majesty Shengming, the money to build Changyu Garden is just not enough."

Liang Shi was a little unhappy by Feng Lu and the others, and his face turned pale, "My Changyu Garden has not been completed yet, and I won't collect the money from the inner library to repair my Changyu Garden."

After that, he looked at the eunuch again, "Lian Nu'er urged those untouchables, repair quickly, summer is coming, and I don't have a good way to escape the heat in the garden."

The eunuch who was called Lian Nu'er was busy bowing down when he heard this, "Your Majesty, as long as the money is in place, within a month, the slave can repair the Changyou Garden."

Liang Shidu was very happy when he heard this, and said bluntly in front of the ministers, "Even the slaves are loyal and will do errands."

Feng Lu and the others looked at the flattering Lian Nu'er, and scolded in their hearts, "The eunuch misleads the country."

There is less water and more wind and sand in the north, the climate is dry, and the Liang master is irritable by nature, and does not like dry heat, this even the slave is from the south of the Yangtze River, and has seen those water pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River, and he actually offered the idea to build a garden in the harem, which can escape the heat, fill it with water, and also swim, which makes the manic Liang Shi very happy, so he levied violently to repair this garden, but the north side of the sea to repair a Jiangnan garden, how can it be so easy, it took more than a year to repair, and it cost money and food I don't know how much, and even dug an artificial river to introduce living water, Labor and money are lost, and the small Shuofang is exhausted by the tossed people's strength, and the people are struggling to make a living.

"Alas, Your Majesty is getting more and more ...... Alas", Feng Duan sighed secretly in his heart.

At this time, Liang Shidu seemed to remember one more thing, and hurriedly asked: "Shangshu, has the Great Khan of Lili replied?" Did you send troops? ”

When Lu Jilan heard this, he replied: "There is no reply yet."

Liang Shidu's face was anxious, and he hurriedly said, "Why didn't there be a reply?" It must be that you have not done your best, so if you offer 50,000 yuan of money and 50,000 stone of grain, you must invite the Great Khan of Lili to send troops to help."

Lu Jilan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the treasury really has no money."

"If you don't have money, then increase the tax, hundreds of thousands of people in Shuofang, and you can collect it with a little more tax. Don't give more money and food, how can the Great Khan transfer troops, and how can he repel Tang Dog if he doesn't transfer troops." Liang Shidu waved his hand and said indifferently.

Lu Jilan's face was stunned when he heard this, raise taxes? And the tax? Today's Shuofang is already a heavy tax of six or seven out of ten, and if the tax is levied again, the people will definitely die.

Some of the ministers of Liang also felt that it was inappropriate, after all, the current taxes of Liang were really high, and they were about to say something, but Liang Shidu yawned, waved his hand and said: "Okay, that's it, there are Fang'er and you, there is the Great Khan of Lili to send troops to rescue, Tang Army, don't worry, my country is forever, haha." said that he returned to the harem step by step.

Only the stunned Feng Lu and the others were left in the hall, and even the slave shouted, "Retreat from the dynasty", and then glared at Feng Duan and the others fiercely, hum, old guy, dare to stop our family from making a fortune...... stomped his feet and took small steps to chase after Liang Shidu, and he didn't know how many concubines His Majesty would pamper tonight......
