Chapter 122 There Will Be Chaos Sooner or Later

Wen Shan pursed her lips and snickered.

"Of course they don't like it. They all have houses in Xiaoling Town, and they took refuge in the mountains because of the chaos in the world. They probably thought that when the rebel army is suppressed, they can return to their original homes. There is no need to live in such a place. Build a brick and tile house in the mountains, after all, after living here this time, there may not be a chance to live in it in the future."

"Once the rebel army rises, it will not be easily suppressed." Tang Qingshu said.

Wen Shan raised his head, looked at him puzzled, and asked, "Why?"

"In recent years, the old emperor has been incompetent and dishonest. The three princes secretly competed for the throne. All the officials didn't do their job well for the people, so they just wanted to curry favor with the prince and take away the people's fat. Coupled with the turmoil in the border wars, taxes only went up but not down. The Feng'an Mansion was better than other places because of Mr. Liu, but in those places without Mr. Liu's management, there have long been cases of farmers working hard but still starving to death. Many people were forced to become bandits. Against the imperial court. The rebel army was forced to have nowhere to go this time. If the news of the rebel army's success spreads, the suffering people will gather, and the rebel army's camp will be stronger than we thought. Big."

Wen Shan was secretly startled, the farthest place she had been to was Feng'an Mansion.

Seeing the prosperity and peace of Feng'an Mansion under the management of Liu Ankang, I thought it was the same everywhere, but I didn't expect that other places have long been purgatory on earth.

"However, the rebel army in Feng'an Mansion won't stay for long." Tang Qingshu said.

Wen Shan, who didn't understand, looked up at him suspiciously.

Tang Qingshu tightened her hand holding her slightly, and her voice was unconsciously gentle, "Dayan has only five salt supply places, and three of them have been snatched by the enemy. The prosperity of Feng'an Mansion has a lot to do with the salt here. If the salt in this place is taken away by the rebel army, the price of salt will be even higher. Salt is inherently expensive, and those princes who want to win the throne not only want power, but also money. Salt makes money so much, they will definitely I will bring the army to take this place back, just to see who will come to take this place back then."

"Then when they bring the army to drive out the rebels, will our life return to normal?" Wen Shan took a dumpling for Tang Qingshu to eat.

Tang Qingshu enjoyed his daughter-in-law's kindness and hummed lightly.

Wen Shan's slender eyebrows frowned slightly, "But this is also a tactic to slow down the troops. Doesn't it mean that the frontier is still in war? Even if the rebel army is suppressed, what should we do if the enemy troops from the frontier come in?"

"Dayan's national treasury is sufficient, and the soldiers have weapons and food. Even if we don't win, we can fight the war for five years."

"The national treasury is sufficient, so why do taxes keep going up?"

"Increased taxes do not necessarily go into the treasury." Tang Qingshu said, "The three princes need a lot of money to build their own army in secret. No matter how stupid the old emperor is, he will not be so stupid as to give money to the princes to build an army. Kill him. But the princes want money, the best way is to let the officials under the party camp use the war as an excuse to increase taxes. Other taxes have long been too high for the people. Although the taxes in Feng'an Mansion have increased, But the increase was not much. But after Mr. Liu resigned, he increased a lot."

"Did Mr. Liu also join the princes' camp who are fighting in secret?" Wen Shan frowned and said, Liu Ankang is quite a nice person, if he also joins in the princes' secret fighting...

"In my opinion, Mr. Liu didn't join the camp of the three princes. It's just that he raised taxes just to save his life. Feng'an Mansion is a place for salt supply, and there is more oil and water than other places. Mr. Ruoliu insists on doing nothing. If you do it, you will become a thorn in the side of those people, and you will be killed sooner or later. In order to protect yourself, Mr. Liu can only increase taxes a little bit. Maybe the other party's demands are getting higher and higher. Mr. Liu does not want to see people's hard-earned money in exchange for His family’s life was the reason why he resigned in frustration. Otherwise, at his current age, he would still be an official for at least another 20 years.”

Wen Shan nodded in agreement.

Liu Ankang is only 35 years old, and he is still young among the officials, and he did not retire so early to return home.

"But as soon as Mr. Liu resigned, Feng'an Mansion was in chaos. If Mr. Liu was still the magistrate of Feng'an Mansion, Feng'an Mansion wouldn't be in such a mess." Wen Shan said, if Liu Ankang is still the magistrate, their kindness Days are at least a while away.

"It's only a matter of time before Feng'an's mansion will be in chaos, but if Mr. Liu resigns later, he may be murdered. In today's world, it is difficult for an honest official to live long."

Wen Shan sighed heavily, feeling a little headache from this troubled world.

Suddenly, she thought of something, raised her head to look at Tang Qingshu, and praised: "My husband is really amazing. It's no wonder that he has gone to the battlefield to kill enemies and knows more than me."

When talking about the imperial court, Tang Qingshu's eyebrows twisted into twists, and there was a sense of depression in his heart that could not be dispelled.But hearing the gentle praise, the depression in my heart was blown away by the breeze, and it was extremely comfortable.

Looking into the warm and clear eyes, as if being sucked into the whirlpool, I can't help but kiss.

Wen Shan hastily stretched out her hand to block it, "This is in the living room, Qiu Liu and the others are all there." She whispered.

Qiu Liu, who was cleaning up the dishes beside her, pursed her lips and snickered when she heard Wen Shan's words.

Only then did Tang Qingshu realize what he was going to do just now, and his cheeks turned red.

Ever since he started eating meat, as long as Wen Shan stood by his side, he wanted all kinds of touch consciously or unconsciously, and when he couldn't help it, he completely forgot where he was.

Wen Shan kissed Tang Qingshu on the cheek lightly, "Reward my family's smart husband."

Tang Qingshu smiled helplessly, pinched Wen Shan's nose lightly, "I was not allowed to do it, but I did it myself."

"I have a sense of proportion, my husband, you have no sense of proportion!" Wen Shan stood up and winked at him.

Tang Qingshu's smile grew wider.

Indeed, he has no sense of proportion to Wen Shan now.

He always thought that his self-control was good, but when he met Wen Shanhou, his self-control seemed to be a joke.

Two days passed quietly.

The next night, Tang Qingshu received a letter from Feige sent back from Wuying. The letter stated the situation of the Feng'an Mansion in the past few days. The rebel army was victorious and the government was defeated.

The rebel army is now taking money from the big families in Feng'an Prefecture and taking away the young men.

At first, those who were taken away were still reluctant.But after being taken away for an hour to go to a place, when I got home, I told my family that I wanted to join the rebel army, but I didn't listen to any persuasion.

In the letter, Wuying said that he planned to sneak into the rebel army to see what was going on, and that he would follow the rebel army for a period of time and would not be able to come back in a short time. I hope they can take good care of Tang Yibao.

Wuying is Xiao Yishui's person, and it is normal to want to do things for Xiao Yishui in his heart.

After reading the letter, Tang Qingshu didn't feel much in his heart, so he didn't show it to Wen Shan, and went to Liu Ankang with the letter.
