Chapter 206 Riot and tax resistance?(2/2)

The Song Dynasty did not suppress commerce and was an era when merchants circulated most freely. Merchants in Weishi County liked to transport goods to Tokyo for trading.

Li Mu also met the prime minister for the first time in his life, and he was very excited.

His son Li Sandao said: "Dad, is Mr. Zhao the current prime minister?"

"Who else could it be but him?"

"Then what did Mr. Zhao say?"

"We were given two options, either pay taxes in accordance with the new agricultural policies or sell the land."

Li San was shocked and said: "Why!"

"Why? Given that half of the current business was given by the imperial court last year, why do you think the magistrate of Weishi County would give us the opportunity? That was Mr. Zhao's message to support private businessmen who are willing to serve the imperial court. This opportunity is your father's.

I only got it after giving away hundreds of coins!"

"Then we have to pay taxes according to the new policy provisions?"

"How can I afford it!"

"Why don't we put it under the tenant's name and say it's not our farm?"

Li Mu looked at his son as if he were an idiot: "Go to the Yamen and see if the magistrate dares to help you operate it?"

"Dad, the old Liu family didn't pay taxes on the land we finally got. I heard that Mr. Liu called Wang Laoliu and the others and instigated a group of people to cause trouble in Weishi County. The trouble became more and more troublesome.

The bigger.”

Li San said it truthfully: "You said that Weishi County won't hand over the matter if it gets too big, so we don't have to hand it over either."

"Then let's wait and see what happens." Li Mu seemed to see hope, "I hope things get bigger!"

At this moment, the person in charge ran in: "It's a big fuss. The tax collector has been arrested. Many people have gone out to surround the county government office!"

Li San smiled and said: "Dad, look, things are getting serious!"

Li Mu sighed: "Is it really possible to stop paying?"
