The people arranged by Qingying were not far away and had been waiting for several days. Once someone came to make trouble, they would go too. Military tax is a benefit of being a soldier, why should it be taken back?
The families of the four soldiers gathered outside the door.
Most of the women cried, some rolled on the ground and cried. Their husbands and sons went to the battlefield and they didn’t know whether they could come back alive, but they still had to pay taxes. Is this justice?
The men kept asking the people in the treasury to come out and give them a reasonable explanation, otherwise they would not be allowed to pay taxes.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, he started to speak harshly, saying that the treasury did not treat people as human beings and even robbed the soldiers' hard-earned money for the sake of silver.
Wouldn't it be a shame to take this kind of money?
Some people even said that the treasury should not be handed over to the princess, because she had not achieved any achievements and instead was targeting the soldiers and sucking their blood.
When Old Master Shen heard this, he shook his head and said, "Even if you are causing trouble, you shouldn't be so loud. It's really disrespectful."
The guards stood in rows outside the Princess's mansion, but no one drove them away.
Xie Yunzheng was sitting in a teahouse not far away, and someone passed the message to him in time.
Unfortunately, after waiting for half an hour, Xie Yunzhao did not come out to drive them away, nor did the guards from the Princess's Mansion.
He was a little puzzled. According to Xie Yunzhao's personality, if anyone dared to question Yongjia, he would definitely draw his sword and go out.
Whoever disobeys will be killed, and then he will ask for permission in a fit of rage.
Unfortunately, after a whole morning, the prince sent people to ask, but Xie Yunzhao didn't come out.
The emperor also sent people to ask whether it was necessary to suppress it, but Shen Shurong said no.
Xie Yunzheng was getting a little restless. Things were out of control. If they continued like this, instead of bringing Xie Yunzhao out, it would arouse public anger, which would be detrimental to the military tax reform.
Xie Yunzhao, what are you doing?
Can we protect Yongjia? ! !
Taking a deep breath, he stood up and walked towards the stable.
The shouting outside had been going on for nearly two hours. The people in the horse farm were very nervous at first, but when they saw that the princess and her husband did not take it seriously and were still having fun, they stopped thinking about it and acted as if the noise outside did not exist.
Lu Ziqian was also anxious. When would Xie Yunzhao become so good-tempered that he could endure being blocked at the door and scolded by so many people?
He seemed to understand Xie Yunzhao less and less.
He didn't run today and just huddled in the stands. The servant came to deliver the message that there seemed to be more people than arranged.
Although the situation was somewhat out of control, he was not afraid because he acted very covertly and no one could trace him back.
Little did he know that Xie Yunzhao had long been on guard against him, and knew every step of his plan.
There was no way to get into the horse farm through the main gate, so Xie Yunzheng entered from the side door and rushed straight towards Xie Yunzhao.
Xie Yunzhao raised his eyebrows. Can't sit still so soon?
I want the situation to get more serious.
What a fool! Rongrong was afraid of going too far, so she didn't dare to instigate anyone to cause trouble, but Xie Yunzheng actually did it.
He probably didn't know that he and Rongrong had already spread the news that the Treasury would take the lead in reforming military taxes.
Now that it's offered to you, you'd be a fool not to take advantage of it.
When Shen Shurong saw him coming, he lowered his head slightly and curled the corners of his lips.
The romantic affairs of a few women were not enough to shake Xie Yunzheng's prestige. At least the Xie family army was still on his side.
The next thing to be affected is his prestige. Let's see if the Xie family army is still proud of their own prince?
You can keep others in the dark and passively enjoy the benefits, but it is wrong to step on others.
The people in the field saw Xie Yun calling Xie Yunzhao over.
Xie Yunzhao jumped off the stands and walked over, not knowing what the two brothers were talking about.
A rude and impatient voice reached Xie Yunzheng's ears, "What do you want from me?"
Xie Yunzheng glared at him, not even knowing how to call him "brother". He pointed outside and said, "There's such a big commotion outside, and you're just going to let the princess suffer?"
Xie Yunzhao crossed his arms and sneered: "It was you who came up with the military tax reform. Now someone is making a fuss and you blame me?"
"These are all good things for the treasury, and the princess is also happy to see them happen. In this case, as her husband, you should not let her suffer such grievances."
Xie Yun's face turned green with pride, and he knew that Yongjia would not have a peaceful life if he followed him: "If I..."
I got so angry that I said the wrong thing and just stopped myself.
But he still said in his heart that if it were him, he would definitely protect Yongjia and make his life worry-free.
Of course Xie Yunzhao understood what he had not yet said, and sneered, "Today's trouble was caused by you. How dare you say that if it were you?"
The performance was almost over. Xie Yunzhao put down his hands, saluted Xie Yunzheng politely, and his voice suddenly became louder: "I understand. Thank you for your guidance, big brother."
The people in the room only heard this sentence. It was rare for Xie Yunzhao to be so obedient. Only the prince could control him.
Only Lu Ziqian was restless. He hoped that Xie Yunzhao would not be impulsive, but he also wanted to complete the task. He was conflicted.
Soon, Xie Yunzhao assembled a team of guards, who stood on both sides of him and walked out of the stable.
He was tall, his movements were agile, and every step he took with his long legs created a gust of wind, which was very imposing. Shen Shurong was delighted just by watching him.
Xie Yunzheng saw that her eyes were all on Xie Yunzhao, and the pain of loss came over him. He walked slowly to the stands, and a servant led him to his seat.
There were really a lot of people gathered outside the racecourse, many of them just there to watch the fun.
A guard brought a platform and Xie Yunzhao stood on it. Everyone looked at him.
How could it be the second young master?
There were two people in the crowd whose appearance and temperament were completely different from those troublemakers. They recognized Xie Yunzhao.
Xie Yunzhao clapped his hands: "You are looking for the person in charge, I am him, if you have anything, tell me."
"Who are you and what is your identity? Can you be the master of the treasury?" a middle-aged man asked Xie Yunzhao.
Xie Yunzhao raised his head proudly: "I am the husband of the princess and the director of the treasury. Do you think I can make the decision?"
"We won't talk to you. You are not a princess. You are just a small director. You can't be the master of the treasury."
"That's right, let the princess come out."
"Let the princess come out. Does she dare to do it but not take the responsibility? Drinking the blood of the soldiers, is she trying to chill our hearts?"
"I am the head of the Wang family. If you treat us like this, I will never let anyone in my family serve in the army again. Don't you think so?"
"That's right. If they don't serve in the army, how can they fight against foreign enemies?"
Xie Yunzhao raised his hand to interrupt the noise: "Alright, stop shouting. I have another identity. My father is the Duke of Lu, and my eldest brother is the heir of the Duke of Lu's mansion. The Xie family army agrees to change the tax rate. Why do you disagree?"
Did Xie Jiajun agree?
There were whispers in the audience, and everyone started looking for Xie Jiajun among the people who came today.
The two men were a little confused. What was the second young master talking about? When did they agree to change the tax?
Although the two of them didn't care, the soldiers under their command who had fought through life and death with them couldn't bear it.
On the podium, Xie Yunzhao was still emphasizing: "I firmly believe that what my eldest brother agrees to is definitely a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I dare say that among those who are making trouble here, there is definitely no one from my Xie family army."
