Yun Chao spread his hands and said: "Tongpan, you have wronged me now. Paying taxes is Magistrate Sun's business, I have no control over it!"
Huang Tongpuan was so angry that his beard stood up: "Huh, Yun Chao, stop pretending. Do you want to call your County Magistrate Sun over and let's confront each other on the spot?"
Yun Chao didn't feel embarrassed at all: "Tongpan, even if I want to pay taxes, we in Qingyang County can't afford it. You don't know about the severe drought this year. Many fields have no harvest and the people are starving to death." , I really can’t harvest the autumn grain!”
boom!
Huang Tongjian started to take action, and the old man couldn't bear it any longer.
"Yunchao, who doesn't know that your Qingyang County has a great harvest this year? When I come here this time, I must bring the autumn grain back. If you don't hand it over, I will personally take people to harvest it!"
Huang Tongpuan has traveled to Qingyang County so many times and has figured out the situation clearly.
Knowing that Magistrate Sun has been ousted by Yun Chao and turned into a puppet.
Therefore, if Yun Chao doesn't pay taxes, Huang Tongpan can't do anything either.
The failure to collect all taxes is the responsibility of County Magistrate Sun and has little to do with Yun Chao, the county captain.
Even if they were investigated, it would be Magistrate Sun who took the blame in the end.
Yun Chao, the county lieutenant, is in charge of public security, unless the bandits in Qingyang County are used as an excuse to cause trouble for him.
Not only did the Dongping Army fail to report the defeat of Qilu Trading Company and Dongping Army in Nanhu, but even Qilu Trading Company did not publicize it. Even if Huang Tongpan knew about it, he would not dare to speak openly about it.
Just kidding, Dong Ping's army was defeated by a group of bandits. As a military supervisor, Dong Ping is so talented that he might be dismissed from his post.
Therefore, Dong Ping will never allow anyone to talk nonsense, not even Huang Tongpian. If pressed, he may fight Huang Tongpian to the death.
The same goes for Qilu Commercial Bank. Once the loss of thousands of guards is publicized, it is likely to give competitors an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Of course, if you don't tell it, it may spread.
However, spreading the word privately and making it official are two completely different concepts.
If spread privately, it can be said to be a rumor.
If it is officially stated, it will be confirmed.
Therefore, even though he knew that Qingyang County's non-payment of taxes was Yunchao's trouble, Huang Tongfang could not find any evidence against him.
"Yunchao, don't even think about it. If Magistrate Sun is dismissed or transferred because you don't pay taxes, and a new magistrate comes in, will you still be able to have the leisurely life you have now?"
Yun Chao didn't listen to Huang Tongpan's tactics at all: "Tongpan, changing the county magistrate is a matter for the imperial court. I, a small county captain, don't dare to talk nonsense. If you want to harvest autumn grain, you should go to Magistrate Sun. But , it may not be useful to look for it, because Qingyang County is too short of food now, and maybe County Magistrate Sun will ask you for relief."
"you……"
Huang Tong was furious.
"Yunchao, don't forget, officials are assessed every three years. If you don't pay taxes, you will definitely fail the assessment, and no one will be able to protect you then!"
Yun Chao smiled helplessly: "Tongjuan, our Qingyang County has such good security, how could I fail the test? Unless someone deliberately caused trouble. Although there is a saying that the government forces the people to rebel, as long as we have me in Qingyang County Now, the common people will never rebel, so don’t worry, Tong San."
"you……"
Huang Tongpan was so angry that he trembled: "Yunchao, how brave are you to threaten me with rebellion?"
Yun Chao spread his hands: "Tongpan, you can't slander others. When did I say I rebelled?"
Why is Huang Tongpan unable to deal with Yunchao?
Do you really think he can't control Yun Chao?
Even if he couldn't control it, the prefect could still capture Yun Chao's county captain.
There is no need to wait for any official assessment. The prefect wants to remove a county captain, so why bother to spend so much effort.
The main reason why Huang Tongpan did not touch Yunchao was because he was worried that he would rebel.
This was what County Magistrate Sun reminded him privately.
Although Magistrate Sun didn't want to be ignored by Yun Chao, he didn't want Yun Chao to rebel.
Once the superiors force Yun Chao to rebel against him, he, the county magistrate, will bear the brunt of it. He will either be killed by Yun Chao or the court!
In the same way, Huang Tongpan is the same.
Once Yun Chao rebels, his responsibility as the Tongpan will not be small. The lighter case may include dismissal from office, or the more serious case, he may be dismissed. No matter what, Huang Tongpan is not willing to see it.
As a result, Huang Tongpan returned without success again.
After returning to Dongping Mansion, the more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved.
I am the magistrate of a government, but I was forced to do nothing by a small county captain. It is really embarrassing to spread the news!
Magistrate Sun also made Huang Tongpian itch with hatred.
Inside and outside the words, they all talked about how powerful Yun Chao was and how dishonest he was.
The meaning is very clear, that is, that boy Yun Chao has strength and ambition. If he is pushed too hard, he will definitely rebel!
What made Huang Tongpian feel aggrieved was that he knew that Magistrate Sun was trying to scare him, but he still couldn't believe it.
There is no other way, I really can’t afford to gamble!
Why does Yunchao dare not pay taxes?
It was because he figured out Huang Tongpan's weakness.
The old guy was greedy for money and lustful, and he did everything in food, drink, prostitution, and gambling, but he was not loyal to the court.
For this kind of guy, his own interests definitely come first. As long as he can sit on the throne of an official, the interests of the court are nothing!
What's more, if Yun Chao doesn't pay taxes, the court's interests will be harmed to a lesser extent. The main impact will be on those corrupt officials.
It doesn't matter if the interests of other officials are harmed. As long as Huang Tongpan's interests can be guaranteed, other people are none of his business!
After being sulky for several days, Huang Tongpuan finally decided to compromise.
Magistrate Sun made Huang Tongpuan a promise that if he could settle the autumn tax issue, he would give him three thousand taels of silver.
As for whether the three thousand taels were given by Magistrate Sun or Yun Chao, Huang Tongpian didn't care.
As long as he can get money to collect it!
However, Huang Tongpian was not the only one targeting Qingyang County.
The great harvest in Qingyang County has spread throughout Dongping Mansion, and all the officials in the government are eyeing this piece of fat in Qingyang County.
As soon as Huang Tongpan said that Qingyang County would not be able to harvest this year's autumn grain, many officials became angry.
Even Magistrate Cheng personally ordered that Qingyang County must hand over the autumn grain, and it must be 10% more than last year!
This time, Huang Tongpan's claws were completely numb.
The prefect forcibly confiscated Qingyang County's autumn grain. As a general judge, Huang Tongpan must personally urge the grain.
However, Huang Tongpan knew Yun Chao well, so it must have been no use even if he urged him!
Huang Tongpuan was forced to do nothing by the prefect, so he simply gritted his teeth and acted violently.
Yun Chao, since you were the first to be unkind, don't blame me for being unjust later!
Isn't it possible for you to rebel?
I will deal with you first!
"Come here, take my invitation. I want to visit Supervisor Dong!"
…
Yun Chao still doesn't know that a conspiracy against him is brewing.
Maybe you know, but you can't help it.
You can't hand over all the food just to please those corrupt officials, right?
Without food, how can we develop ourselves?
If you can't withstand the pressure and continue to pay food as before, you won't be able to raise even 1,000 soldiers, let alone 5,000 elite soldiers, and you will be killed by vested interests sooner or later!
