Pingyu County is a county close to Dongyue. Although the city is not big, there are actually many merchants, and of course they are not wealthy merchants.
Rich merchants would not do business in such a small county, and those who came and went were basically small businessmen like the one Tang Ping was pretending to be now, pulling one or two carts, or two or three carts of things to trade.
When entering the city, there were soldiers collecting taxes, which seemed normal, just normal customs taxes.
It is recorded in the General Examination of Documents: The taxes in Guanshi include cloth, utensils, incense, treasures, sheep, etc.
Tang Ping and the others would naturally have to pay tax on the cloth they brought, but the tax rate was normal.
After driving into the city, I couldn't see anything strange.
"It seems like the rumors haven't spread into the city yet." Wang Qingluan whispered in Tang Ping's ear.
"Yes!" Tang Ping nodded. The common people also said that the city still collects business taxes at thirty taxes per one. This time, the incident is more aimed at civilians.
I randomly found an inn and stayed with a few people. I had to slowly find out the news about this matter.
During dinner, Tang Ping took Wang Qingluan and others to eat on the first floor of the inn. Xiang Long and others had already changed their clothes and went out to inquire about news, leaving a few people around Tang Ping to protect his safety.
"How's it going? Are you done talking about it?"
"No, I heard that they have all been booked."
"Oh, these people have a good plan. Many people just left today, but they were booked."
The voice next to him caught Tang Ping's attention, but when he looked over, the other person was alert. Without saying anything more, he casually took two bites of food and went back to his room.
Tang Ping winked and followed his iron handle from a distance.
After a while, he came down and whispered, "Sir, I'll live next door to you."
Tang Ping didn't expect such a coincidence. After all, the food here was not as good as Xiao Luo's. He really had something in his mouth now, so he didn't eat much. He looked at each other and went upstairs.
Back in his room, Tang Ping controlled the drone that he had released a long time ago and landed on the roof of the building next to his. Although he was separated from the roof, the radio function of the drone allowed him to hear everything inside clearly. Chu.
Wang Qingluan came over and rolled his eyes at him: "Ping Guo Gong, you

It is not the behavior of a gentleman to listen to the root of the wall like this! "
"Do you want one? An extra pair of headphones?" Tang Ping stretched out his hand, and Wang Qingluan grabbed the two earbuds in his hand.
"Didn't you say it wasn't a gentleman's fault?"
"I am a woman now, I don't need to be a gentleman."
Tang Ping smiled, held her hand, and started the couple's listening mode.
"Brother Huo, do you know who did this?"
"I don't know. My cousin went to the county government yesterday to find out. I'm afraid the county government doesn't really want to collect the poll tax."
"Then they do this?"
"Haha, look, as soon as those people left, their fields were sold off as ownerless land. Why do you think they did this?"
Tang Ping also asked today how the people should deal with the fields, because it is now autumn, and most of the fields have already started or completed harvesting.
They brought all the grain with them, but they had no choice but to throw it away because they tried to pawn it, but no one bought it, and other people similar to them naturally couldn't buy it.
The wealthy households in the surrounding areas had negotiated and agreed not to take over the land.
These people were afraid that they would be sent to mine and mine coal if they could not pay the taxes, so they simply gave up and ran away.
At first, Tang Ping also lamented the lack of basic education in this era. It can be said that these people are still unwise, which is why they are so easy to fool.
Later I thought about it, even in the modern era where I came from, it stands to reason that there are no illiterates anymore, but aren’t there a lot of people who have been deceived by pyramid schemes, deceived by the Internet, and even deceived into buying hundreds of kilograms of salt?
It can only be said that sometimes the more you care about something, the easier it is to be deceived in some aspects.
According to the words of the two people next door and what I heard today in Contact, I am afraid that the fields of these common people have long been targeted by people with ulterior motives.
"Then shall we try again tomorrow?"
"Of course, go, think about it, some people are still waiting and watching. After all, not everyone can make a decision about such a big thing as leaving home. As long as we go to the countryside tomorrow and meet those who are hesitant, we will give it a good scare. Maybe after they were frightened, the land was sold?"
"Brother Huo, you still have a way. The land taken from them now costs a lot.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It was less than one-tenth of the normal market price, and these people were scared to Dongyue on the opposite side, and no one pursued the matter. I can only say that the person who came up with this plan was really a genius! "
The next thing the two of them talked about was about looking for flowers and asking for willows. Wang Qingluan angrily threw the earplugs to Tang Ping: "What a waste!"
"What does it have to do with me?" Tang Ping shouted unjustly.
Then he and Wang Qingluan began to analyze what happened this time.
Now it seems that the poll tax is most likely fake, just to defraud these people.
For things like rumors, as long as the spreaders are not caught at the time, when the court receives the news, it may not be possible to find out the source of the rumors even if the Secret Intelligence Department comes in a month or so.
And as the two people next door said, once the people were forced to leave their homes and really went to East Vietnam, they would not be able to get it back in the future no matter how tax-free they divided their fields in East Vietnam. Datang wanted to find out. Nowhere to check.
As a county magistrate, he was at most considered an oversight, and no one was found making lies in the countryside to confuse the people.
But the authorities really don’t pay much attention to this kind of thing. In this era, the people are not enlightened, and some country people are really deceived by someone. Unless you file a lawsuit with the government, why don’t you expect the government to take the initiative to give you anti-fraud propaganda?
The key now is what to do. If he reveals his identity, the people here will not have a good impression of Tang Ping. If he reveals his identity, will these people think that he is here to arrest people for mining?
Moreover, if the people behind this were to reveal their identities, they would not be easy to catch. This place is located on the border. When I return to Chang'an, what will I do if these people come out to cause trouble again?
In addition, there are probably tens of thousands... Well, there is no such term in this era, but the meaning is the same. If there are traitors making trouble among them, I will uproot them.
"If there is no profit, don't start early!" Wang Qingluan said: "The people behind this and the people involved in this matter are all for profit. I think the most important thing for us to lure them out is profit!"
"That makes sense, so how do you think you should release this bait?"
"They are making a fuss on the ground, and we are also making a fuss on the ground. These people left because they could not pay the poll tax, so we will start from this aspect and disrupt the other side's position!"
