Xu Gang's words immediately caused everyone present to turn their attention to him.
Seeing the strange looks from everyone, Xu Gang couldn't help but scratch his head and looked at a few people with a puzzled look on his face.
"I said, why are you all looking at me like this? Is there something on my face?"
At Xu Gang's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Obviously, Xu Gang still didn't find the problem at this moment.
After a while, Li Yang on the side spoke.
"Besides yes, yes, yes, yes, do you know any other words of praise?"
After hearing this, Xu Gang began to think thoughtfully.
After a while, he finally spoke two words.
"Awesome!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to deal with the words Xu Gang.
…
Qinghe City.
In the prefect's mansion.
Bi Hanlin looked at the scroll in front of him, and the expression on his face gradually became ugly.
The scroll before him now is all the information he has sent people to collect throughout Qinghe City these days.
You wouldn't know if you didn't look at it, but this sight immediately shocked Bi Hanlin.
If he had some doubts about what the two people he found on the road said at the beginning, then now that the scroll is in front of him, even if he doesn't want to believe it, it is impossible.
three times! Three times the tax!
No matter where such taxes are placed, they will definitely cause public unrest.
He really couldn't figure out who gave Li Tianhe the courage to ask for such a high tax?
Bi Hanlin sighed heavily when he thought of this.
The only one who could give Li Tianhe such courage was the Xie family.
Nowadays, even if the Xie family is away, it is not uncommon to exploit the people in this coastal area.
It was only because of the remoteness of Qinghe Prefecture that Li Tianhe dared to collect taxes so wantonly.
It is extremely easy for Bi Hanlin to rectify the entire Qinghe Prefecture.
But this does not mean that after he has finished rectifying the situation, those who come later will do what he arranged.
To put it bluntly, as long as Bi Hanlin leaves, Qinghe Prefecture will probably return to its original shape.
Maybe the taxes will not be heavier than when Li Tianhe was here, nor will they be much worse.
Suddenly, Bi Hanlin began to understand why the people of Qinghe Prefecture looked like that when they saw him.
Who doesn’t want their life to be better?
And the person who brought them such a good life was none other than Qin He!
Now, in the eyes of the people of Qinghe Prefecture, their arrival means that they will kill their benefactor.
Faced with such a situation, how can ordinary people not be hostile?
Although all the corrupt officials in the vicinity were now imprisoned, this was only treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The corruption in the imperial court was not something that he, a military commander, could control.
Bi Hanlin is not stupid, and he naturally knows that even if he reports this matter, the Xie family will not use various means to deal with it.
In the end, the unlucky ones were just the scapegoats introduced by the Xie family.
Once the limelight is over, the Xie family will make a comeback. At that time, even if they change people, they will still be under the control of these powerful families.
How could Bi Hanlin not know about the corruption in the entire court, and how could he not know about the exploitation of the aristocratic family?
so what?
As mentioned before, how can he, a general, control the affairs of the DPRK?
We can only watch the corruption in the DPRK.
However, when he thought of this, a figure suddenly flashed in Bi Hanlin's mind.
This person is Qin He.
At the same time, Qin He's words also came to Bi Hanlin's mind.
Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.
After wrapping up the scrolls on the table and putting them away, Bi Hanlin slumped down on the chair.
That feeling of powerlessness was something Bi Hanlin couldn't bear even if he had lived in the frontier for a long time.
Logically speaking, he is a military general and does not need to care about these things.
But if this is really the case, then it is self-deception.
Bi Hanlin knew better that if this continued, the entire court would be corrupted by powerful families.
By that time, perhaps this country will be gone.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
The sound came before the person arrived.
"Report!"
Hearing these sounds, Bi Hanlin stood up from his chair and frowned.
A bad feeling filled his heart.
The next moment, the soldiers who came to report had already arrived in front of the house.
"Report! Report to the general, reinforcements from various places have been responded to!"
"explain!"
After hearing the words of the soldiers below, Bi Hanlin frowned and said.
"Report to the general, the reinforcements from various places need time to assemble, and I would like to delay their arrival until two months later!"
As soon as these words came out, Bi Hanlin's frowned brows were almost glued together at the moment.
The next moment, Bi Hanlin slammed the table and said angrily.
"Who dared them to delay the military plane?"
After Bi Hanlin finished speaking, a look of helplessness appeared on the faces of the soldiers who came to report.
"Reporting back to the general, these people did not listen to the announcement. Even though we have told the general's name, they still shirk it with various reasons."
"Lawless! Absolutely lawless! Now that the general has come with the imperial edict, he dares to treat them like this. He is simply going against them!"
After hearing this, Bi Hanlin slammed the table again. At this moment, the tabletop could no longer withstand Bi Hanlin's strength and was shattered.
"Give me the order and you must come to me within a month at the latest!"
"If you don't come within a month, then come and see me!"
"yes!"
After saying that, the soldiers turned around and left.
Bi Hanlin, who was slumped in the chair again, couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Even on the frontier, he had never experienced such a feeling.
In a blink of an eye, it was January.
Within this month, Qin He and the others were prosperous.
Without pressure from Bi Hanlin, money made life extremely comfortable for them.
Nowadays, the newly reclaimed islands are full of food.
Seeing the days getting better and better.
Of course, except for the trouble of buying things, for the residents of the island, it is absolutely a paradise life.
As for the other side, since Bi Hanlin arrived in Qinghe City, the previous heavy taxes have not appeared again.
Originally, in Bi Hanlin's opinion, such a big change was definitely a good thing for the people of Qinghe City, and it should also be able to make the people in the city change their ideas.
However, the result was beyond Bi Hanlin's expectation.
Although the city now no longer has the heavy taxes it had before, it is still unable to satisfy the people's various benefits that were provided when Qin He was here.
