"Who is making noise outside!"
"Get out of the way! Let us in! Do you know who we are? Just dare to stop us!"
"I want to go in and see your master and find out why he did this!"
"You dare to expel us! You will not be able to reap the benefits!"
"Call your master quickly!"
Yun Jiuxi heard a commotion outside, and Lin Er walked in not long after.
"Master, some noble people are coming outside."
"Oh! It's delivered to your door! I really have no place to start!" Yun Jiuxi was dressed as a man, wearing special height-increasing shoes and thick eyebrows. There was no trace of Yun Jiuxi being a woman.
"What do you want from me?"
"Are you Mr. Yun?"
"Exactly, you guys came to visit, why?"
"Did you ask them to divide our land and collect taxes?"
"I'm just giving the land to your own people. Each one of you has a head. Will it affect your family at all?"
"Hmph! That's it. We are all one family, so we won't have the final say at that time? I'm just asking you, why are you levying taxes from us!"
"Isn't this what it should be? You have enjoyed the blessing of this land and the support of the people, so you should pay taxes to maintain the city's military affairs!"
"Bah! Emperor Xuanlin didn't even treat us like this! Why do you! We are here with you, but you still enjoy our protection! Without us nobles, those untouchables would have no place to live long ago, and you still have the nerve to ask us tax!"
"Oh? You agree with Emperor Xuan Lin's approach. You can go to him for help. I don't welcome you here! Please!"
The tiered taxation promulgated by Yun Jiuxi has directly cut the interests of the nobles almost in half, and of course they are not willing to do so. In the south of the Yangtze River, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the nobles are united. No one can do anything to them, so they have been in arrears with taxes to the court.
As for Emperor Xuan Lin, he didn't care. As long as he had enough money, he didn't care about others. This makes these noble families grow more and more every year. In the fish and meat town, the people have been exploited for who knows how many years.
"You dare to drive us away?"
"Uh-huh!" Yun Jiuxi raised his chin, indicating that the door was on the right, so he could leave without leaving.
"You wait for us!"
"Lin Er, ask Lin San to bring someone to follow them. I will bring them all. If you want to stay in Jiangnan, please be obedient. Anyone who is disobedient will be thrown out by me."
"yes!"
"This man named Yun is so bold to attack our noble clan. Doesn't he want to gain our support?"
"I don't know. You must tell the Great Elder when you get back. There is no way we will give in."
"that is!"
The nobles were entrenched on the small mountain ridge covered by the five cities in the south of the Yangtze River. They built pavilions and pavilions here to create a place to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
As Lin San came closer to this place, he felt more and more the unique luck. No wonder the gentry produced talents! This is partly because of the outstanding people here.
"Who are you!"
"In Linsan, Mr. Yun is sitting down. Please inform the adults inside that we are visiting!"
"Wait a minute!"
Not long after, the gentry began to fall into disarray. One faction was conservative and believed that those who could seize the five cities in the south of the Yangtze River were emperors and talents and should bow their heads. The other radical faction believed that the power of the gentry should not be underestimated. Since they could compete for the world, they should also be able to do so. Give it a try.
The radical faction secretly gathered people, preparing to capture Yun Jiuxi during the Huayan Festival five days later, and use Yun Jiuxi to accept the powerful army in her hands. With a brave and fearless army, how can we worry about being too numerous to conquer the world?
"Who asked you to send me a message?" Yun Jiuxi looked at the young man wearing a plain blue robe. This man was Gu Mingyuan, the grandson of the representative of the conservative gentry.
"This is just a small thing. Being able to help Mr. Yun is what our Gu family should do."
"You are smart, aren't you afraid of other companies poking your back?"
"Those who are capable will live in this place. This is what our Gu family has always trusted! Don't worry, Mr. Yun! I can make the decision in all this!"
"Okay, you go back first! If it's too late, the city gate may be closed."
"Mr. Yun, I'll take my leave!" Gu Mingyuan turned and left, his plain blue clothes swaying in a nice arc. There was always a sense of panic under this arc.
"Master, are his words credible?"
"Whether it is trustworthy or not, be prepared. If they dare to come, then I will give them a whole family bucket!"
"What bucket?"
"Let's catch a turtle in an urn!"
Yun Jiuxi glanced at Lin San, with a meaningful smile on his face, "You guys go down and get ready!"
After the others in the courtyard left, Yun Jiuxi called Lin Si, "You bring some people and you will go home to pick up some people. I have discussed it with my grandfather. You can go back and find your grandfather directly."
"Okay, Master!"
Yun Jiuxi clapped his hands, and a man walked in from behind the door. He was about eight feet tall, muscular, with a beard and a shiny bald head.
"This is Zhang Quan. He offended a powerful prince and was sentenced to death. However, he refused to accept the judgment of those powerful men and ran here. Since then, he has become a mob, and later he lived in the mountains and became a mountain. Bandits, they have a lot of people, and they will go with you to pick them up."
"I've met the master, I've met Mr. Lin Si!"
"Don't dare to take it! Don't dare to take it!"
"How is my sister-in-law's health? A few days ago, I heard that my sister-in-law is tired from traveling and traveling, and she is mentally restless. She is a little haggard!"
"Thank you, Master, for your concern. My wife is almost fully recovered."
"That's good, how is the child? If you are worried, why not send the child here? It is okay for the elders in the family to teach the child. Our own children must be taught well. It is always good to at least let the children know some words!"
"Master, what should I do? I also want to thank you for our family. When I come back this time, I will send the little boy here, and I will also ask Mr. Nao Nao Yun to help teach him."
Lin Si thought carefully about what Yun Jiuxi and Zhang Quan said, and he had some thoughts in his heart.
That Zhang Quan was able to offend the powerful people in the capital, kill people, escape from prison, and go all the way to the south of the Yangtze River to gather people and become a force in the mountains. It is definitely not easy. Yun Jiuxi's talent alone is impossible to conquer. Just now, Yun Jiuxi's concern for his family seemed to have had a lot of effect.
Yun Jiuxi might have used power over him, such as letting him see how powerful the army trained by Yun Jiuxi was, or personally leading him to attack the bandits surrounding Jiangnan, before Zhang Quan completely surrendered.
Then he asked Dong Da's daughter-in-law how her children were doing, and even knew that Zhang Quanxi's daughter-in-law was in poor health and was irritated. She used both kindness and power to completely win over Zhang Quan.
The next step is to let Zhang Quan's children come to study at home. This is a favor, but also a hostage. If the child comes, he can only follow Yun Jiuxi with all his heart. Whenever he makes any changes, he has to consider the child. Will he be implicated?
"The young master has grown up and started to behave like the old master."
