    ,

    Show respect in front of Zhao Han, and even said that he would consider the issue of being a thief.  But as soon as Wang Diaoding returned to the city, he immediately went to visit the magistrate, trying to discuss how to kill Zhao Han!

    When Wang Tiaoding met, he said: "Fu Zun, yesterday I went to see Bandit Zhao."

    Yang Zhaosheng was a little surprised, but he was able to remain calm, and only said, "Oh, I see."

    "This thief can't be suppressed with force," Wang Diaoding said of his point of view, "It's even more impossible to appease with softness, so we have to design booby traps!"

    Yang Zhaosheng asked: "What did you see in the thief's den?"

    "The thieves are united and have lofty aspirations. The people are happy and happy, just like a paradise," Wang Diaoding said with emotion, "Zhao Yan, the leader of the thieves, wants to rule for three generations."

    Yang Zhaosheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that he is also a good thief."

    Wang Diaoding frowned and said: "The Fu Zun never thought about suppressing the thieves? Within a year or two, the Zhao thieves may steal the entire Ji'an Mansion!"

    Yang Zhaosheng sighed and said: "Zhao thief emptied all the government treasury and caused a great military disaster. His Majesty did not reduce or exempt the land tax, but only acquiesced in Ji'an Mansion's suppression of levy. Half of Luling County was occupied, and Anfu County and Taihe County were also affected.  Bandits, this year's summer and autumn grain collection may be difficult. How can I have any intention of suppressing bandits? If I suppress the collection again this year, I'm afraid I won't be able to get promoted in this lifetime."

    "Your Excellency, you only want to be promoted, and don't you want to suppress thieves for the country?" Wang Diaoding said angrily.

    "Where is the food? How can we recruit soldiers to suppress bandits without food?" Yang Zhaosheng asked back.

    Wang Tiaoding said: "This thief is invincible, we must find a way to lure him to death!"

    Yang Zhaosheng said with a smile: "Then you should find a way to trap and kill them. The most urgent thing is to collect summer grain. You may not be able to collect a few in Luling County."

    The words were not speculative, and the two broke up unhappy.

    When Wang Diaoding left the government office, Yang Zhaosheng sighed and said, "It's nice to be young, I was young too."

    Yang Zhaosheng is actually very capable, but he has experienced too much darkness, and his edges and corners have long been smoothed by reality.  Now, I just want to be an official in peace and stability, and earn some money to support my family by the way.

    Rather, he envied Wu Rousi, a classmate and good friend, who quickly wiped out the White Lotus Sect in Henan, and even killed two giant bandits of the White Lotus Sect.  But Jiangxi is different from Henan, the gentry are not so obedient, and this Zhao thief is not as easy to deal with as the White Lotus Sect!

    ? Yang Zhaosheng is full of old age, and has no courage to do serious things, only the bottom line of repaying the king with his death.

    Historically, he was captured by the Qing army and chose to die rather than surrender, and did nothing else.

    Wang Tiaoding came out from the magistrate's yamen and summoned the squires of Luling County.

    He told the details of the peasant association, and said to the gentry: "The peasant association of the thief Zhao may spread to the whole county. If you forcefully suppress the tenants, you may cause riots among the tenants. Why don't you take the initiative to reduce rent and interest, and tell the tenants  Thanks for your kindness, this will dilute the influence of Bandit Zhao."

    "County Honor, we don't have much food to support the governor and bandits last year. How can we reduce rent and interest?"

    "That's right, the tenants are not happy, but the landlord is easy? The imperial court increases the tax every year, and the local government has apportionments. If the tenants are reduced in rent and interest, they will not be able to live in the future."

    "Since the bandit Zhao has rowed across the river, he probably won't make any big moves in the short term."

    ""

    The rebels were all under their noses, and these gentry were submissive, expecting Zhao Han to be satisfied with half a county.

    I really don¡¯t cry without seeing the coffin!

    Wang Tiaoding sent the gentry away, then slumped on the chair, feeling his heart was so tired.

    He didn't hire a master, but a civil servant to discuss matters.

    The clerk said: "The county majesty, those landlords are afraid. If the Zhao thief can be wiped out, the gentry in the county will definitely donate money and food, but can the county magistrate really wipe out the Zhao thief?"

    "No, at least not for the time being." Wang Diaoding shook his head.

    The civil official said: "Since no one can suppress the Zhao thief, those gentry dare not act rashly. They are afraid of offending the Zhao thief and losing their wealth! The county lords can't do it, and the government lords can't do it either.  Gentlemen only act when they see hope."

    Wang Tiaoding asked: "But I didn't ask them to donate grain to suppress thieves. I only asked them to reduce rent and interest, and show kindness to tenants."

    The official said with a smile: "They can be divided by Zhao's knife, but they can't take the initiative to reduce rent and interest. It's like a dog with meat in its mouth. How can it spit it out by itself? Someone has to beat it with a stick  , Only when it hurts will you spit out meat."

    "They are all short-sighted people!" Wang Diaoding said contemptuously.

    The clerk shook his head: "The county lord can figure it out, but how can the country gentry not know? They are not stupid. But they can't make such an opening. Should the rent and interest be reduced this year, should it be reduced next year? In the future?Lead five hundred soldiers each to help you suppress the place.  Remember to take advantage of the opportunity of dividing the land to strengthen the peasant associations in various villages and towns.  The newly established peasant associations must be obedient and must not act in violation of orders!  "

    The chain reaction reappeared, Chen Maosheng and Zuo Xiaoliang were still dividing the fields, and the peasant movement had spread spontaneously.  It spread northward to the border of Luling County, eastward beyond Fucheng, and southward to the edge of the mountains.

    Four-fifths of Luling County have actually become Zhao Han's territory.

    The big landlords were terrified. They were unwilling to reduce rent and interest rates before, but now they come to Zhao Han automatically.  I just want to save my life, money, food and a small amount of land.

    Over the past year, many grassroots officials Zhao Han trained and promoted were sent to emerging areas, and there was a shortage of officials at all levels again.

    Promotions are quick and officials are full of energy.

    All thoughts of corruption have been downplayed, and they only want to continue to expand their territory and continue to get promoted.  Most of them are pupils and schoolchildren, and a few are scholars. It was impossible to be an official before, but now they see the possibility of becoming a high-ranking official.

    Countless low-level scholars began to rebel with Zhao Han, even more eager to rebel than Zhao Han.

    The county magistrate Wang Tiaoding completely gave up, and in a blink of an eye, only one-fifth of his jurisdiction remained.

    In other words, not even one-fifth, because the area around Tianhe Town was occupied by Fei Yinggong's gang of bandits.  The surviving landlord hurriedly asked the county magistrate to suppress the bandits, but Wang Diaoding didn't even bother to see these bastards.

    At this rate, Zhao Han will be able to occupy the entire county this year, leaving only one prefecture for officials.

    The career is going well, and Zhao Han is getting married too.
