But no matter what, Qin He had already left Qinghe City, and even if they thought about it, there was nothing they could do.
Faced with the current situation, apart from thinking about it in their hearts, people could only lament that the newly appointed governor had done nothing.
Of course, it would be false to say that he has done nothing. After all, the orders he issued have made the entire Qinghe Prefecture miserable.
Therefore, the role of the new governor still exists, but it is just a side effect.
Time flies and another month passes.
During this month, Yuan He was equally miserable.
Li Tianhe not only had no intention of taking any action, but also kept urging him to speed up the collection of remaining taxes.
You must know that in Qinghe Zhou, everything that should be collected has been collected long ago, but obviously Li Tianhe thinks it is still not enough.
Whenever they talk about sending troops to annihilate Qinhe, they continue to delay time on the grounds of insufficient supply.
Until this month passed, the officers and soldiers who came to destroy Qin He did not even see any of Qin He's men.
Regarding this situation, Yuan Hena dared not speak out in anger.
On this day, Yuan He was still worrying about how to get the remaining people who had not paid taxes to pay, so he heard people come to pay taxes again.
"Sir, Master Li has invited you to go to Qingqinglou to discuss important matters!"
Hearing the scary words, Yuan He couldn't help but frown.
How can we discuss any important matter here?
This is just Li Tianhe's rhetoric. He probably kept urging tax collection once he went there.
But it was impossible not to go, so Yuan He had no choice but to go to Qingqinglou.
By the time we got outside the box, there was already a burst of laughter and laughter, including some coquettish sounds from women.
For such a common thing, Yuan He could only curse in his heart.
Not long after knocking on the box door, Li Tianhe's voice came from inside.
"Come in!"
After hearing this, Yuan He stepped in.
Seeing Yuan He arriving, Li Tianhe also stood up from his chair and looked at him.
"Master Yuan, one month has passed..."
Having said this, Li Tianhe did not continue speaking, but looked at Yuan He with a meaningful look.
After Yuan He heard this, he was also confused.
I don’t know what Li Tianhe meant by saying this?
Seeing that Li Tianhe had no intention of continuing, Yuan He could only ask tentatively.
"I wonder if your Excellency is ready to send troops?"
However, what Yuan He never expected was that as soon as he said these words, which were fine before, Li Tianhe's expression suddenly changed.
"Sending troops? What should we use to send troops?"
"Right now we don't even have enough food and supplies for the march, so why send troops?"
Facing Li Tianhe's loud shouting, no matter how stupid Yuan He was, he could still understand the meaning of the words.
Food again!
The food and grass in the entire Qinghe Prefecture was almost completely wiped out by these guys in front of them.
Now you still have the nerve to say such things?
Although Li Tianhe did not explain his words, Yuan He also heard from his words that this was a new beginning, and it was also the beginning of a new round of tax collection.
Looking at Li Tianhe with an angry look on his face, Yuan He was already yelling curses in his heart.
Although Yuan He is not a good official, collecting taxes like this will cause problems sooner or later.
After all, even life has become a problem, so who would be willing to work for them in Ansheng?
If it goes on for a long time, more unruly people will inevitably appear.
When the time comes, it is not difficult for Yuan He to imagine that those who have no choice but to go directly to Qinhe.
Yuan He had already received news that someone quietly swam out to sea to seek refuge in Qinhe.
This was only half a month ago. Now if there is another round of taxation, Yuan He estimates that more people will choose to seek refuge in Qinhe.
In fact, Yuan He did not know that the people he knew who went to seek refuge in Qinhe were only a very small part of them.
If someone really counted them, they would definitely find that this number has reached a terrifying number of more than a hundred people.
Don't think that few of these hundreds of people need to know. Nowadays, there are officers and soldiers patrolling the coastline at any time. Once discovered, they will be taken away directly.
Under such circumstances, more than a hundred people could still go to the island to seek refuge in Qinhe, which is enough to show the determination of these people.
And, there are more people waiting for opportunities behind.
Even if the government wants to suppress this situation now, it is impossible.
If he stayed in Qinghe Prefecture, he would definitely face starvation to death. He would have to go to the island to seek refuge in Qinhe, and still have a glimmer of hope.
What's more, Qin He already had an excellent reputation when he was in Qinghe City.
Whether it is how he treats the common people or his own people, he is known to be good.
As long as you can get to the island, you don't have to worry about starving to death.
After returning to his thoughts, Yuan He's eyes fell on Li Tianhe, and he bowed slightly before nodding.
"My lord, I know what to do."
Seeing that Yuan He understood what he meant, Li Tianhe smiled.
"Master Yuan, just do what you should do. In the future, I will definitely recommend talents like Master Yuan to the higher ups."
Hearing this, Yuan He's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he spoke in a flattered tone.
"In the future, I hope Mr. Li will give you more kind words. Just ask me to do whatever I need, and I will do my best!"
With Yuan He's words, the smile on Li Tianhe's face became even stronger.
He patted Yuan He on the shoulder before speaking.
"As long as Mr. Yuan does his job well, he will naturally get what he deserves."
After saying this, Li Tianhe motioned for Yuan He to sit down and sit down together.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.
Yuan He naturally saw what Li Tianhe was hinting towards him, so he took the initiative to leave the restaurant because he had something to do.
After Yuan He left, Zhao Qiong looked at Li Tianhe and asked worriedly.
"Master Li, Qinghe City may not be able to withstand this second tax squeeze, right?"
Zhao Qiong has also seen that the lives of the people in Qinghe City are not good these days. Even he has not thought that Li Tianhe in front of him will collect taxes for the second time.
When Li Tianhe heard what Zhao Qiong said, the expression on his face did not change at all.
"What do these people from Qinghe City have to do with me? Right now, I'm just following orders. If we don't have food and fodder first, what will we do to fight the Qin invaders?"
The words were high-sounding, but Zhao Qiong knew that problems would arise if this continued.
But after thinking about it, Zhao Qiong still didn't care too much.
Even if something goes wrong by then, won't there still be a scapegoat?
Thinking of his gaze, he looked towards the box door.
And the scapegoat in his mouth was Yuan He who just left.
