When the situation in Beijing is changing, and the public opinion of the government and the opposition is boiling, Qin Lin is becoming more and more leisurely in Puzhou, just waiting for the angel of His Majesty the Nine Pills to come.

The old brother Zhang Gongyu tried his best to implement the new policy, such as the examination of the law and the formation and training of the new army, of course, the governor of a province has no way to put his beak, and the clearing of acres of fields, the examination of the wealthy to protect the population, etc., can not be in place for the time being, but the collection of the arrears accumulated by the wealthy over the years and the reduction of taxes by the people have been carried out vigorously and resolutely.

The north wind is blowing, the weather is getting colder, Qin Lin still took Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali and other brocade brothers out to visit and observe the people's feelings. General Qin is a young man's surname, I don't know how to converge......

But in the eyes of Wang Ma, Yang Shen and other wealthy families, there is another interpretation of Qin Lin's actions.

No matter what others think, Qin Lin took people to turn around Puzhou Shili and Eight Townships a few times, and crossed the Yellow River from the Pujin pontoon bridge to the west, walked around the border of Shaanxi, and then passed through Fenglingdu, and walked around Henan in the south.

At the junction of the three provinces of Puzhou, he lifted his legs and left the country, and Qin Lin visited the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan for more than ten days.

As seen along the way, the new policy has achieved initial results, especially in Shanxi, where Zhang Gongyu is in charge, the powerful gentry are under pressure, more or less pay some outstanding taxes, and the government has reduced the tax amount of the common people a lot - the amount of tax on the surface is naturally unchanged, but in previous years, the bad rules and regulations are often several times the regular tax, and the government only needs to cut some bad rules, and the actual burden of the people can be greatly reduced.

Qin Lin led the crowd out, and the sorrow on the faces of the poor tenant farmers was reduced by three points, and there was a faint sense of joy.

An elderly farmer told Qin Lin: "This year, I paid two cents less silver per mu of land, and I took my two sons to plant 50 acres of dry land, and I paid one or two taels of silver less, and exchanged it for grain with one stone and five buckets, plus some wild vegetables to boil porridge...... The palace of the imperial court, the blessing of Zhang Qingtian, and the blessing of General Qin! ”

Seeing the old farmer's face full of ravines and wrinkles all smiled, Qin Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, just one or two pieces of silver, folded into grain, it was only one stone and five buckets, and even two hundred catties were almost enough, so the people were happy like this, and praised the court again and again. These people, who were the kindest and most simple people, were regarded by them as a great favor even a little bit of a gift......

On the loess in Guanzhong, these farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky are the most able to carry the weight forward, almost have infinite endurance, and the later generations of Guanzhong displaced people rose around, and finally overthrew the Ming Dynasty, at that time their lives were boring to what extent, it is really unimaginable.

"Fortunately, all of this can be put to rest in my hands!" Whenever Qin Lin thought of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists. The destiny of heaven is reincarnating, and the luck is empty, Huaxia must not fall into the miserable abyss from the illusion of Wanli Zhongxing!

On this day, he went out on a tour again, Qin Lin led the crowd along the east bank of the Yellow River all the way to the north, and arrived in the territory of Linjin, and the scenery seen along the way gradually changed.

Yin Binshang patted the horse like flying from the north, and after stationing on the horse, he bowed to Qin Lin, his gloomy face was a little excited: "My lord, I found out that the Zhou family of Wu Wangzhai has misbehaved, and he is the biggest powerful man in Linjin, who shelters the doormen and bullies the tenant farmers, and is really a stubborn gentleman." This time, the county urged the arrears, and the Zhou family did not pull out a dime, and said that General Zhang Dutang Qin came in person, which was really hateful. ”

In order to reopen the Silk Road, the four families of Wang, Ma, Yang and Shen reached an agreement with Qin Lin, so that the implementation of the new policy was smooth, and the name of Zhang Gongyu Qingtian rose.

Most of the small and medium-sized heroes are strong, seeing that the Jin Shang Leader Young Master's Mansion is still unlucky, and the four families are faintly on Qin Lin's side, they are inevitably afraid, and the accumulated arrears over the years are more than seven or eight percent, and the few are also tentatively handed over two or three percent, and there is always a look there.

However, the four families can only take care of their relatives and friends, and play a leading role, but they will not directly help Qin Lin and Zhang Gongyu to oppress the small and medium-sized heroes, so there are still strong gentry who are second only to Wang Ma Yang and Shen who want to top and resist a resistance.

Maybe this gust of wind will blow over and forget it? After all, the real silver, which has been accumulated over the years, is very large on the books, even if two or three percent is not a small amount, it hurts to take it out in vain!

The Wu Wangzhai Zhou family that Yin Binshang heard about is one of them.

Qin Lin listened to the report, he didn't laugh angrily, and pointed at Yin Binshang with a whip: "Wu Wangzhai Zhou's stubborn and ferocious is true, I will go in person if you say anything, he will not pull out a dime, I am afraid that you Yin Binshang made it up!" Lao Tzu still wants you to provoke the generals? It's not that you are still a little useful, before dealing with the Zhou family, I will cut off your dog's head! ”

Yin Binshang is a thick-faced and black-hearted person, and when he heard this, he smiled and acquiesced.

Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali laughed so hard that they could barely sit in the saddle, and said in their hearts What kind of person is our Chief Qin, no matter how cunning you are Mr. Yin, I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it from him.

Qin Lin didn't feel embarrassed for Yin Binshang, knowing that this guy didn't mean to provoke himself, but to show his attitude, but Lao Tzu just told the truth in front of him, and there was no need to beat around the bush.

Yin Binshang was thick-skinned anyway, and he was not embarrassed to be exposed, so he arched his hand and said: "So that the lord knows that there was a squire in the previous generation of the Zhou family, and this generation has no prospects......"

"I call him the king of heaven!" Qin Lin interrupted him unceremoniously, "Brothers, change clothes, leave two to go back to Puzhou, and the rest will go to Wuwangzhai with me." ”

Before leaving Shanxi, let's do one last thing for the people here!

The group changed their clothes and galloped, ran north along the east bank of the Yellow River, and went directly to Wuwangzhai below Linjin.

Sure enough, the atmosphere here is very different from Puzhou, Tongzhou and other places, just after the harvest, according to the new grain down the people should be full, but the closer to Wuwangzhai, the more the people see the more vegetables, not to mention the clothes, one by one dressed in tatters, with frightened eyes to look at the galloping knights.

Seeing that there were more and more houses in front of him, Qin Lin got off his horse and led him away, most of the houses here are earthen walls and grass roofs, looking in from the open doors of each household, there are old people, women and children in the dark room, holding rotten cotton wool, rags and even straw, revealing their smooth necks and collarbones, they know that they are so poor that they don't even have clothes, so they can only shrink in the haystack to keep warm.

At this time, it is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the weather is getting colder, and when the snow is falling, how will these people suffer?

Turning a few small hills, the front suddenly opened up, a neat and neat house appeared in front of everyone's eyes, tall brick house, typical Shanxi style, covering an area is not too broad, but there are many places with two or three floors, the carved beams and paintings are extremely exquisite, the two stone lions at the door open their teeth and claws, and the door of black lacquered copper rivets is particularly bright.

This exquisite and majestic mansion is the most striking contrast in the world with those poor and dilapidated houses, with the low thatched huts of many poor people as a contrast, it seems so untouchable, so arrogant.

"Damn it!" Qin Lin coldly spit out two words in his mouth.

Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali, and all the brothers in the official school all felt the same way with him at this moment.

At this time, the power of the imperial court was generally only to the county, and the vast countryside was mainly self-governing by the gentry, and the power was very great.

The people here live in extreme hardship, and the Zhou family's house is magnificent, so how mean the Zhou family as a squire is, it can be seen in the leopard.

Qin Lin didn't talk nonsense, so he picked up a tea shed opposite the Zhou family's mansion and sat down with a big horse golden knife, and then asked the Jinyi officials to disperse to collect evidence of the Zhou family's crime of oppressing the good fish and meat people.

Wu Wangzhai is not a big place to go, and there is no business in the tea shed, Dr. Tea is lazily crooked inside, at first when he saw the business coming to the door, his face immediately piled up with joy, but when he heard Qin Lin ordering his men to collect evidence of the Zhou family's crimes, his face suddenly turned sallow, and the hot sweat of soybeans on his forehead flowed down.

"This high-ranking official, dare to come to find trouble with Master Zhou? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't dare to keep you here," Dr. Tea put up a smile on his face, holding a rag in his hand and holding it, he was a little clever to do this, those who came were not good and those who were good didn't come, and he dared to come to the door to find trouble with Master Zhou, he must also be a powerful master, and he couldn't afford to offend!

Qin Lin smiled, sat leisurely and drank tea, and just looked at the Zhou family's mansion with Erlang's legs crossed.

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and patted Dr. Cha's shoulder: "Take it easy, what kind of comparison between Master Zhou and our Chief Qin, it's like straw and mud, Chief Qin casually stretched out his little finger and beat him so much that he couldn't even recognize his grandmother!" ”

Niu Dali also said honestly: "Don't worry, brother, Chief Qin is sitting in your tea shed, and he is blessed, I am afraid that the business will be much better in the future!" ”

"Chief Qin?" Dr. Tea was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Isn't it the master of the Dapo Young Master's Mansion in Fengling Town?" ”

Qin Lin crossed Erlang's legs and flicked the dust on his hem: "It's this official." ”

Dr. Cha's face suddenly became extremely good-looking, first his eyebrows, nose and eyes were squeezed into a pile, and then he grinned violently, and jumped three feet high with a bang.

The brothers of the official school didn't know what he was going to do, but they were taken aback, and Yin Binshang also pretended to protect Qin Lin in front of him, making a loyal appearance of protecting the lord.

But he saw Dr. Cha running out with his hands dancing, tearing his throat open and shouting loudly as he ran: "Folks, Chief Qin who defeated the Young Master's Mansion has come to check on Master Zhou, everyone come out quickly, there is revenge and revenge!" ”

Poof~~ Qin Lin just swallowed a sip of tea in his throat, and then it all squirted out and poured Yin Binshang's head.
