One hundred and twenty-five years in the Heavenly Stem Calendar, summer.
Lian Huaisheng, the former Minister of Rites, died in the prison.
Daqian scholars are sad for this.
The commoner Takako Lian Huai lived and died in the prison.
The people of Wangjing were already overwhelmed by exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Today, as soon as they heard that the former minister had died after admonishing him to die, they took the initiative to drive ten miles long to see this upright official off.
"It's not the fault of the imperial court, it's the fault of those martial arts warriors on the front line. They raised the bandits in order to use our blood and sweat to support them. Our minister died because of his advice. This is... the sorrow of heaven and earth." A sign!"
"Those warriors are acting perversely, how long do we, the people, have to endure?"
Among the crowd, the people arranged by Chen Zhen shouted slogans...
It happened to be raining heavily at this time, and the sadness was exploded by anger.
It's all the fault of those martial arts masters.
They had the most generous stipends, and they gave them everything they needed, whether it was beauties, gold and silver, delicacies, treasures and soldiers, whatever was needed on the front line.
Even if you fight a prairie barbarian for twenty years, you won't be able to defeat him.
Nowadays, public dissatisfaction is boiling...
And at this time.
It happened that someone saw the families of the martial arts masters on the front line who were well-dressed and well-fed.
They are not engaged in production, but they can enjoy the most comfortable life, which is the result of the people's care and support. Their husbands support the invaders at the front and oppress the people in the rear.
So and so...
How can people...
Don’t hate it anymore?
.....
"Ugh... Mr. Lian Huaisheng died miserably..."
"So, Lian Huaisheng, do you know who he is and what he does?"
"Lian Huaisheng... is a very powerful person. He was the former Minister of Rites. He is really miserable. He came here as a commoner and prayed for the people, but he died because of it..."
"Um...Who did you listen to?"
"Those scholars are saying, Brother Xuan, don't you know? Recently, scholars are saying that Lian Huaisheng's death is really miserable, and those martial arts masters really have a bad death."
Li Xuan glanced at Qiulan in front of him. They were so familiar with each other, and she said some things without restraint.
There are many scholars who hang around Chunxiang Tower, so Qiulan naturally knows a lot of inside information.
As for Lian Huaisheng, Li Xuan knew that the former Minister of Rites had a high reputation among Daqian scholars and had climbed to this position step by step.
A man from a humble family came to this position——
Not that I can say that.
They came from humble beginnings.
But Li Xuan wanted to say that this poor family is also a family...
It's not something that a commoner can compare to.
Because Li Xuan knew Xue Xuanwu, he knew that Lian Huaisheng was defeated in the court struggle with Grand Duke Chen Zhen.
A critical review from the perspective of this descendant of the Xue family, this Lian Huaisheng was upright and upright throughout his life, and he prayed for the people. He was indeed a good person, but a good person does not mean that he is a good official, but his performance in office is mediocre. Li always liked to make enemies, and sometimes Xue Xuanwu felt that he was just making enemies for the sake of his own image.
"Well, in today's world, I feel like everyone has a bad temper. I really hope I can earn enough money to redeem myself quickly, but now the tax money is getting more and more, and I don't know how long it will take to save it all..."
Qiulan was complaining.
The tax bill is almost 40%.
While complaining, I also hope that my sweetheart on the front line can return home with honor and redeem her home.
His best friend was either a strong martial artist or an ordinary soldier. After all, he had heard that the treatment at the front line was good. If he performed meritorious service, he could earn a lot of money. When the time comes, he would be able to redeem Xianglan after being disarmed and returned to the field.
Xianglan also thought about giving birth to a few fat boys and staying away from the right and wrong in Wangjing City.
It is this promiscuous woman.
Everyone knows this Wangjing city.
It won't be peaceful.
Of course Li Xuan also knew...
Even Xue Xuanwu and Yuan Feng knew it.
If it weren't for the poor condition of the front line.
Then Grand Eunuch Chen's silver tax order would not be allowed to go out and support those unstable martial arts masters.
Even Yuan Feng doesn't know what's going on on the front line now... The royal prince doesn't know, how can the front line be optimistic?
Everything is attributed.
It's actually very simple.
Those border prairie people.
The reason why they are more and more unscrupulous is that they... are not afraid of the unknown 'Sword Saint Xue Bailu' whose life and death are unknown.
A strong man who is close to the peak of the innate, a full-strength sword, even a true innate will be afraid.
Li Xuan guessed that ninety-nine percent of them were innate.
Even...people in the innate realm.
A strong man at the same level as himself in the foundation building stage.
No matter what the probability is.
As long as there is this probability, Li Xuan will not mess around and be a blacksmith with peace of mind.
If he were to protect him, he would only protect his old friends and descendants like Xue Bailu.
Maybe it's selfishness.
But live.
But it is the first priority that Li Xuan pursues.

"Giant panda, take a breath of cold air."
"call!"
at this time.
The giant panda blew out a mouthful of cold water to cool down the sword, and the sword was made.
The young master of Dubu Shangshu came to the store.
I am very satisfied with Li Xuan's works....
"If I take this sword to Chunxiang Tower, I'm afraid I will attract the envy of many colleagues and women." Master Shangshu was very satisfied.
"Okay, how much money."
"200 taels, the same price."
"Give."
He put down the 200 taels of silver without saying a word and left without any feeling of spending any money.
"Tsk, tsk, something worth 20 taels is worth 100 taels if sold to a charlatan, and 200 taels is worth if sold to a big cheater." Li Xuan clicked his tongue and looked at the gold in front of him.
Twenty taels of gold.
This sword.
It is even more expensive than the body of Qiulan from Chunxiang Tower.
Of course, these 20 taels of gold also have to pay taxes. For 20 taels of gold, you must pay at least 10 taels...
but.
For Li Xuan, the lost money will always reappear in his money box.
Hey, why?
Of course, Li Xuan still has a bottom line. He still has to pay the tax and money, and he only gets back what he deserves.
It is okay to pay 20 taels for 4 taels, but not for 10 taels.
"Giant panda, tell me, what is going on in the imperial court... In the past, the Qianshan Jianmen could control the mouths of the people in Wangjing City very well, why can't they do it now?" Li Xuan touched his chin and said.
The giant panda's hands are also paralyzed. The giant panda doesn't know anything. The giant panda just wants to eat and drink.
Li Xuan looked at the palace not far away...
