Everyone yelled and took action, pulling out the long knife picked up from the ground and looking at the officer's wrist. With a sharp slash, the entire palm fell into the water, causing the officer to let out a heart-rending roar.
Unexpectedly, without my hand, I couldn't grasp the rocks on the bank. I suddenly slipped into the stream, and I was swallowed several times by the river water.
Ye Congwen saw all this and suddenly realized:
"If you want the common people to completely break away from the Xuanyuan Royal Family, you have to have their hands stained with the blood of these little handymen. Only in this way will they be completely on your side, instead of just watching from the other side!
All rights and interests are obtained with blood. Who would cherish something obtained for nothing? "
Ye Congwen looked at the villagers who were getting more and more red-eyed as they killed more and more, and suddenly understood a truth. Good old people are not worthy of being treated as such. Anyone who wants to enjoy the discount of half tax collection must come with the head of the government servant.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately shouted to the villagers behind him:
"Folks, if you chop off one of the government servants' heads, we, the Demon Hunter Guards, will have half of the tax collected. If you chop two of them, they will be exempted!"
When they heard that beheading the government officials would reduce taxes, the villagers looked at the government officials in the river as if they were seeing gold bars!
With tax-free silver for generations, this government servant’s head is worth more than gold bars! One after another, they chased each other along the river bank and shouted:
"These two heads are mine, no one can take them from me!"
He picked up the long knife and ran down the river bank. Wherever there were government officials climbing on him, there were villagers wielding knives.
The shouts along the way were so loud that the villagers downstream were startled, and groups of them all ran to the river bank to watch.
When they saw that those peasant women and children dared to kill the government servants with long knives and hoes, they all asked in surprise:
"Are the people in Xiaogou Village crazy? Do you think even a child dares to stab someone with a knife?"
Seeing the opportunity coming, Xu Linglong cleared her throat and shouted to the villagers along the river:
"Folks, the young master of the Demon Hunting Guard has an order:
Killing one yamen servant will reduce the tax collection by half, killing two yamen servants will exempt the tax collection for generations, first come, first served, while supplies last!
Everyone, please hurry up. There are only so many government officials left. If you kill one, you will lose one. Don’t blame us for not notifying you. "
"Kill one and get half the penalty, kill two and get free! Do you Demon Hunting Guards keep your word?"
A calm person asked cautiously. They were all afraid of being deceived by the court. It was common for the successor magistrate to refuse to admit his mistake as soon as he took office as a county magistrate.
"You come to the county government office with the head of a county government servant to receive your reward. We, the Demon Hunter Guards, give you a tax-free gold medal. The brand is made of pure gold. How can we treat you badly?"
Ye Congwen replied with a smile, monks can't kill these servants in the mortal realm, so let those who can kill them kill them until no one dares to help the emperor and act as a hawk for the Xuanyuan royal family.
Ye Congwen had already thought about it. There were only 50,000 government servants in total. At most, the tax exemption for 20,000 farmers would be less than 10%, which would not affect the normal operation of the court.
When the time comes, the tax money will be used to create 20,000 gold medals, one with the words: halved tax collection.
Engraved on one piece: Tax free.
When the time comes, with the gold medal as the proof, no one can fake it. After all, a gold medal weighs one pound. The cost of counterfeiting is too high, and no one will do it at a loss.
"Using pure gold medals to create duty-free gold medals?"
The knowledgeable people immediately asked seriously, if 50,000 government officials have to create 50,000 gold medals, this is not something ordinary people can do. If you can produce so many gold bars to establish your trust, then you have ambitions in the world!
An old scholar who looked like a scholar bowed and asked:
"May I ask what position you hold in the Demon Hunters, young hero? Does your words count?"
"This is our young master of the Demon Hunting Guard, the future commander of the Demon Hunting Guard. It doesn't matter what he says!"
The monks at the Semi-Saint Perfection Realm opened their mouths to introduce.
Unexpectedly, the old scholar didn't buy it. He stared at Ye Congwen's face with a pair of suspicious eyes, as if he wanted him to produce some proof.
Xu Linglong knew what he meant and immediately asked the Demon God King to come out
The founder's jade helped Ye Congwen identify himself.
Unexpectedly, Ye Congwen shook his head towards Xu Linglong, turned to the old scholar and said:
"Wealth can be found in danger. If you are not afraid of the exploitation and cruelty of corrupt officials, then continue to pay 50% of the tax to the court.
If you are overwhelmed and want to save a few more loads of rice so that your family can survive this winter, then pick up a sickle and chop it on the head of the government servant.
There is no sugar cane that is sweet at both ends in this world. "
After speaking, he shouted to the villagers who were about to make a move:
"If you are destined to be saved by Buddha, we Demon Hunting Guards will not help cowards. It is safer for those who are hesitant and fearful to stay at home and hold their children.
Do you choose to starve to death or fight for a gold medal weighing a pound and tax-free money for generations to come?
You make your own decision. The gold medal is only 50,000 yuan. Come to the county government to claim it. "
After Ye Congwen finished speaking, he used the Phoenix Immortal Claw and saw a flash of red light, and ten wooden boats suddenly shattered into powder in the river.
Dozens of government officials fell into the water and swam desperately to both sides.
"A gold medal weighing a pound! Tax-free for generations to come, what are we waiting for? It's death anyway, but it's better to die in battle than to die of starvation!
Fight with them! "
The vigorous young man couldn't stand the stimulation of the words, so he yelled and went home to get the knife.
There was one leader, and the remaining villagers roared angrily when they saw that an eight-year-old child in Xiaogou Village dared to carry a hoe and smash them, and they also ran back to get knives and sticks.
Seeing that Ye Congwen's few words had made the villagers' eyes turn red, Xu Linglong could only sigh with emotion:
"Your method still works."
"Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. This is a trick played by the Xuanyuan royal family first, I am just picking up others' wit.
Do you think these government officials are really brave and not afraid of death? It's just that there are many people and there are heavy rewards to be obtained.
I just copied them, but I wanted to see if these brave and fearless government officials were really so brave! "
Ye Congwen usually hates these kind of minions who take advantage of others' power. They are all poor people who grow food for a living.
And there is no limit to what he can do. This is the real black sheep, and leaving him alone is a hidden danger.
Even at the expense of spending 50,000 gold bars as tax money, we must get rid of these government servants so that not a single one is left.
Xu Linglong saw the killing intent in Ye Congwen's eyes, nodded and said:
"We won't even spare women, children and the elderly. We really can't keep him. Many of these government officials are masters at the master level. Once they get ashore, ordinary villagers are no match for them.
Let me destroy their efforts first. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered to the tens of thousands of Demon Hunting Guard monks:
"Abandon the government officials' skills and let them fight fairly."
After receiving the order, everyone descended on the ships one after another. With one palm, they broke the muscles and veins of these government officials, turning them into useless people.
When tens of thousands of government officials saw how powerful these flying demon-hunting monks were, they shattered the veins of the masters at the Grand Master level with one palm.
It was only then that everyone realized that these Demon Hunting Guards were really capable people, and they were not as ordinary as the magistrate and master made them out to be.
It's a pity that even if they want to surrender at this time, these demon hunting guards will not let themselves succeed. They will chop off a head and get a gold medal weighing one pound. This gold is enough for a family to spend ten or eight years.
Seeing more and more villagers gathering around, each of them came out with a knife in their left hand and a stick in their right hand, and some even carried fishing nets. How could these government officials dare to go to the river bank and throw themselves into a trap?
One by one, they drifted downstream, clinging to the intact boats and almost capsizing them.
More and more villagers gathered around. Some people saw that the government officials did not dare to climb up the river bank, so they rowed their own small wooden boats and chased after him.
When tens of thousands of government officials saw that the Demon Hunter Guards were really murderous, they no longer pretended to be heroes and heroes, so they turned around and rowed towards the county seat.
It's a pity that no matter how fast the ship is, if
How fast could he pass the Demon Hunter Guards members who were flying in the air?
One hundred teams with tens of thousands of members, except for those monks in the body-forging warlock realm who could not fly in the air and could only run along the mountains on both sides of the river.
There are thousands of soul-refining mage monks who have already flown over the heads of tens of thousands of government officials, destroying ships and using martial arts skills. They are like tigers entering the sheepfold, sweeping all the way.
Kill directly to the county seat.
Ye Congwen used the magic power of shrinking the ground into a mile and walked directly to the county government gate along the busiest and broadest street in the county.
Two bronze doors were blasted open with one palm, frightening the government officials guarding the doors on both sides to the point where they didn't even dare to say anything. The county government office hall was filled with government officials guarding the county magistrate and the master.
The county magistrate and the master were about to scold the visitor, but before they could say anything, two phoenix claws as red as blood grabbed their necks, hung them high in the air, and kicked them randomly with their four feet. Unfortunately, it was of no use. nothing.
A group of government officials tried to rescue the county magistrate and the master, but unfortunately the two men were locked by two bright red claws by the throat and held high in the high hall of the county government office, two feet high from the ground.
Everyone did not dare to pull the county magistrate's feet, so they had to shout loudly:
"Bring the ladder over here quickly!"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a group of semi-sacred monks flying in the air rushed over and greeted dozens of government officials without saying a word.
With one palm strike, the Yamen servant's tendons were shattered, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of Yamen servants were all reduced to useless people. Lying on the ground, groaning and hiding in the corners, I finally understood what I was afraid of.
Ye Congwen walked straight to the county magistrate's throne. After sitting down, he let go of the phoenix's claws, causing the magistrate and his master to fall from the sky and smash to the ground.
He slowly climbed up and asked Ye Congwen tremblingly:
"who are you?"
"Your official position is too low, and you are not qualified to ask our young master's identity. Kneel down on the ground and answer our young master's questions honestly, or I will skin you, a corrupt official, and hang it on the city wall!" ap.
A team leader in the Semi-Saint Perfection realm threatened that when he heard that the Dian Cang team next door had occupied the county government office, the first thing he did was to hang the county magistrate and the master on the city wall. Going to try it myself.
"You are the young master of the Demon Hunter Guard!"
The county magistrate was horrified and shouted that this guy had occupied Mangzhou, Cangzhou, Haitang County a few months ago, and killed all the guards of Haitang County Prince's Mansion. Later, he surrounded and suppressed four Colorful God Kings and In the entire Camellia County, I heard that even the prince of Camellia County was killed by him.
I came to my small county government office today without saying a word. I wonder if I am going to do my old trick again?
"I wonder why the young master of the Demon Hunting Guard came to this county government office?"
Seeing that the county magistrate was frightened, the master had no choice but to ask.
"You also know that we are the Demon Hunting Guards. It seems that you are members of the Xuanyuan Royal Family. No wonder you let those officials in the mortal realm go to encircle and suppress us.
Is this a trap that has been dug for us, the Demon Hunting Guards, to get in? Are they inviting the monks from all over the world to kill us when we violate the treaty between gods and demons?
This is a good plan. Which county prince came up with it? "
Ye Congwen's eyes took a look at the master and the county magistrate. These two people at least have the strength of the semi-god realm. At first glance, they are the people who will be replaced later.
After all, the previous old county magistrates were all mortals who had never cultivated immortality. Although Xuanyuan Duzun was outrageous and unethical, as a giant in the immortal realm, he also knew that monks spent all their time practicing skills and did not have the time and energy to deal with it. Official.
Rather than being a monk obsessed with cultivating immortals, he prefers to use mortals to manage mortals.
Although the imperial examination system was abandoned during the reign of Emperor Wu for more than 600 years, private private schools and schools still existed among the people.
Towns, towns and county governments are still governed by scholars, but there is no need for scholars in the courts of state and county governments.
There are only two levels: Juren and Xiucai, one is in charge of the county government and the other is in charge of the township.
These two people actually possess the strength of the semi-god realm. It can be seen that the Xuanyuan royal family has begun to change their strategy. They want to replace the scholars with warriors.
