When I went out wearing this scarlet official uniform, it was no different from a light bulb. Isn’t it obvious that I was conspiring with the “rebels”?

"I'm going out so late, what happened?"

Ye Zongliu became young in an instant. Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Chen Qingtong refused to return home overnight. It must be a big deal.

"There is something wrong in the business in Fujian. You have to hurry up and deal with it. Don't worry too much." Chen Qingtong said perfunctorily, and a smile appeared on her face, then she walked towards the little one in the house to take off the Qilin suit.

"Husband, what kind of business is in Fujian? If I lack money, the dowry I bring is enough to deal with."

Zhai Fucheng knew very early that Chen Qingtong had some business in Fujian, and people also sent silver notes from time to time.

However, Ye Zongliu didn't take this little money seriously. You should know that the dowry given by Chen Ying, Hou of Taining, was a real ten-mile red wares.

With his current family background and Chen Qingtong's status, is it necessary to be so anxious about the business?

"If I use your dowry, it will not be a soft-hearted person when it is heard. My husband has not yet reached this point.

"Martial wife is one, why do we need to be so vague?'

"Madam, you are planning to let me eat soft food.

Chen Qingtong teased, then put on a coat casually, and hurriedly walked out the door.

"Qingtong, take a break early."

Listening to the gradually distant instructions, Ye Zongliu's expression became solemn. She was very young and Chen Qingtong's state must have nothing to do with the Fujian business.

I just hope everything goes well.

Walking out of the west wing, he greeted Shang Cang Huotou and others, Chen Qingtong took the night to the new courtyard. At this time, Zhai Fu had already changed into clean clothes, but his face was haggard but there was no change. After seeing Zhai Fucheng coming, he immediately knelt down on the ground and said with grief: "Jiang Lutou, we have let your expectations down and we also ask Brother Lu Ding who saved Fujian!"

"If you have something to say, we don't have to do that.

Zhai Fucheng quickly helped You Xi up and comforted her.

This group of miners in Fujian share life and death with them. Chen Qingtong has long regarded them as his own people and does not need to use the word "seek".

After getting up, he calmed down his emotions. You Xi ended and said, "Jiang Lutou, we were able to pay the government's mining tax by relying on the smuggling transactions with Japanese slaves, and we could still have some spare time to help Brother Luding from the mines in northern Fujian."

"But last year, the court re-established the provincial tax department and distributed additional taxes again. In addition, our brothers in the mine also need to provide 100 million yuan of officials and subordinates, which costs far more than public taxes.

"You must know that since the end of the decade of orthodox, there have been constant natural disasters in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now, with man-made disasters, even if there is a trade in smuggling with Japanese slaves, it still cannot fill the holes in taxation, and even raise the appetite of internal and external officials to be greedy."

"Half a month ago, the Zhengxiang County inspector followed the officers and soldiers to the mine to collect taxes, but the brothers Lu Ding really couldn't take it out. So inspector Zhai Fu ordered the official army to close the pit and not allow continued mining and smelting, and also said that the taxes would be doubled in the coming year."

"At the end of his life, Jiang Fucheng, Lutou, had a conflict with the government army and killed several yamen runners who came to collect taxes."

Listening to You Xi’s statement, Zhai Fucheng’s expression was extremely serious.

When he was controlling the water in Shandong last year, he already knew that Zhu Qizhen had made a fool of himself with a relaxed military expenditure, and he wanted to collect more taxes.

In order not to be corrupted by local governments, he sent many officials and eunuchs from the capital to serve as tax department officials.

Beijing officials are usually sent out, such as Beijing officials and eunuchs who control tax power, who are almost without exception, are more ruthless and less corrupt than local officials. In order to serve them well and prevent them from affecting the performance assessment of the Ministry of Personnel, local governments often spend huge sums of money to satisfy the dispatched Beijing officials.

Where does the money come from? Naturally, it is to collect people's fat and cream from the people.

The Yao people in Guangxi, the Miao people in Sichuan, Guizhou and Miao people were the first groups of uprisings and unrest. So far, a large-scale anti-rebellion war is still underway in the southwest region, and the Luchuan regime ends and rekindles.

The signs of the Southeast uprising in the history of the Ming Dynasty were originally suppressed by Chen Qingtong using the trade surplus of Japanese slaves.

Even Chen Qingtong relied on the advantages of a historical prophet, and asked Zhai Fucheng and others to store food to prevent natural disasters. For the lower-class people in China for thousands of years, as long as they had a bite of food to survive, they would not rebel and uprising.

But if the court cannot even meet this humble requirement, the rulers will understand what it means to be more greedy than kings, princes, generals and ministers!

It can only be said that the giant wheel of history is rolling forward, and many times it is not manpower to stop it. Chen Qingtong has already done his best to stabilize the situation in the Southeast within his ability.

Now it seems that what should happen will happen eventually, and it will not help!

"Have you just killed a few yamen runners?"

Chen Qingtong asked back.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials were officials, and officials were officials. The former belonged to the ruling class of scholars and officials, while the latter was not much higher than that of peasants.

If only a few yamen runners were killed, Zhai Fucheng could still find a way to calm the incident with his current power and influence in the court.

But if officials and scholars are involved, this matter will be difficult to be good.

For the central government, the majesty of rule cannot be challenged!

When Zhai Fucheng heard Zhai Fucheng's retort, Zhai Fucheng did not answer immediately, but shook his head with a serious expression. Seeing this action, Zhai Fucheng took a breath. In fact, he had already had the answer in his heart since You Xi's appearance, but he was still thinking of having a hint of luck.

"How high-ranking officials have you killed?"

Chen Qingtong asked very directly. If this image was in the eyes of civil and military officials, it would probably be surprising.

After all, killing officials to commit such things is nothing new to Chen Qingtong. He has done all the acts of killing the king. Any official can compare with this?

"After killing several yamen runners, the magistrate of Zhengxiang County personally led 300 officials to the mine to prepare to round up Shen Yichen, which triggered the riots and resistance of thousands of Lu Dings."

When he said this, You Xi stopped and stared at Chen Qingtong and didn't dare to say anything. "Why wouldn't the three hundred officers and soldiers be killed or injured?

Yiwu, Fujian was originally the main source of the Qi family army in later generations. What Mr. Qi liked was their bravery and toughness. Professions such as miners and luding were not allowed to be held by strong people. In addition, with meticulous organizational division, discipline was fully guaranteed.

To put it simply, a group of people will be able to pull out a team of people, and after a little training, they will be qualified troops.

Because of God's perspective, he knew that the three provinces in Southeast Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi had a backlog of public grievances that were far more than taxation. They were like a powder barrel, just like a spark that ignited the fuse.

If the Lu Ding's affairs are not handled well, it will not be just a small riot of thousands of people, but will spread to trigger an uprising of hundreds of thousands of peasant soldiers in the southeast.

By then, the revived Luchuan and the thorns that raise tigers will be affected.
