Chapter 1186 See you again

"Grandpa, you can't let the emperor do this, otherwise the great Chu will bleed like a river." Ouyang Ming said something similar to Gu Jinli: "Although Jianghuai, Jiangnan, and Zhili are rich, the only ones who are rich are the families of powerful merchants and ordinary farmers. Life is still miserable. You also said that if it weren't for that kind of soybean oil, the people in Jianghuai and most of them would be living a life of boiling vegetables with water and would not be willing to add oil every time."

If you cant even bear to eat oil, how can you still have enough money to pay double the grain tax and war tax?

Ouyang Ming was very angry. She had learned riding and shooting since she was a child, read military books, and had a chivalrous temper. She could not bear to see the people suffer such great suffering.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ouyang looked at her with a frown, his face became a little colder, and he lectured: "Girl Ming, what did I teach you? You can have a chivalrous heart, but it is stupid to say such things that disobey the emperor's order. "

Ouyang Ming was startled and immediately admitted his mistake: "Grandpa, forgive me, it was my granddaughter who was impulsive."

As a daughter of a noble family, even if she knew that what the emperor was doing was wrong, and even if she sympathized with the people, she should not be so impulsive.

Be aware that one word can harm the entire clan.

"It's good that you realize your mistake." Mr. Ouyang looked at the sun outside and was about to speak when he heard the neighing of horses. He sighed, and another one came impulsively: "You go to the back room to take shelter first. Grandpa wants to Meet the guests.

Ouyang Ming also heard the neighing sound, so he went to the back room of the study to take shelter for a while.

Not long after, Asong brought Gu Jinan.

As soon as Gu Jinan saw Mr. Ouyang, he immediately knelt down and said, "Sir, please save the people of Dachu!"

Mr. Ouyang was helpless. He looked at him and said, "Before you came, my granddaughter also came to beg me. Do you know what I said to her?"

Miss Ouyang? She also came to beg Mr. Ouyang about the tax increase. She was indeed a righteous girl.

"Students don't know." Gu Jinan put aside Miss Ouyang's objections and looked at the look on Mr. Ouyang's face. He had a vague feeling that Mr. Ouyang did not want to wade into this muddy water.

Mr. Ouyang repeated what he said to Ouyang Ming, and then said: "This is an order given by the emperor himself. Before the order was issued, many adults in the capital had already made suggestions, and some even died to make suggestions, but in the end, the emperor just asked him to The emperors order was changed, but it didnt make the emperor take back his order.

He looked at Gu Jinan again and asked, "Do you know what the emperor's previous order was?"

Gu Jinan frowned, shook his head and said, "Students don't know."

Mr. Ouyang: "All the people in Chu have to pay additional money and grain taxes and anti-war taxes. Even barren and disaster-stricken places like the northwest are not immune. In the end, it was only with the advice of the officials that the northwest and anti-war taxes were exempted. The anti-war taxes in places like Northeast China and Zhongzhou are in addition to taxes from Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Zhili and other places."

"Do you think it is right or wrong for the emperor to do this? Do you think the anti-army tax should be collected? The soldiers broke into Longshan Mansion and looted a city. Countless people died tragically. The emperor said that this anti-army tax Its military supplies, used to fight against the Rong.

It can be said that the emperors reasons for raising taxes and collecting anti-war taxes are very reasonable. The only unreasonable thing is...

"But if the people in Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Zhili and other places are asked to pay double the tax, it will directly turn the prosperous hometown into a land of abject poverty!" Gu Jin'an said: "When the Rong people attacked Longshan Mansion, the court should really If you send troops to fight against the soldiers, you can also increase taxes, but the prerequisite is that the increase must be reasonable. With the tax of one tael of silver per person, except for the rich, which family can afford it?!"

Gu Jinan wanted to become an official, but he didn't want to be a dog official who eats the flesh and blood of the people, so he was very excited and begged: "The student wants to ask your help, let Mr. Ouyang Hong face the saint and persuade the emperor to take back his life to save the people." Safeguard Sheji, otherwise if something happens, the consequences will be unbearable for the entire Chu State!"

Mr. Ouyang did not interrupt Gu Jinan, but after listening to what he said, he said, "My brother has already met with the Holy Father, but the Holy One insists on this, and there is nothing I can do about it." A few days ago, he received a letter from his eldest brother, The letter informed him of the tax increase and the remonstrances of the ministers. Finally, he told him not to be angry or sad and just let nature take its course.

The eldest brother said it very cryptically. In fact, he is no longer optimistic about the current Chu Emperor, and let him toss it. If Chu's dragon energy is still there, there will naturally be a new emperor to turn the tide. If not, it will be his fate.

There is a big age difference between him and his eldest brother. When he was born, his eldest brother was already an adult and had experienced war, so the eldest brother had always seen things clearly.

This time I wrote a letter specifically to tell him this. In fact, I was telling him not to interfere.

"Sir, what do you mean by this?" Gu Jinan looked at Mr. Ouyang and was shocked. Does he not want to care about it and want to give up?

Mr. Ouyang looked at Gu Jinan and said, "Let nature take its course. Whether it is good or bad is destiny."

"Sir, you actually believe in fate?" Gu Jinan smiled, with a smile that was partly cold and partly sarcastic: "The student thinks that the gentleman is disdainful of the theory of fate. It seems that the student is wrong."

These words were very disrespectful, but Ouyang Hu was not angry. Instead, he looked at Gu Jinan with some sympathy and distress in his eyes, and sighed: "I know that you have great ambitions and want to do things for the people of Li, but the world is like this. You've done it, we've all done it, so what? Can we still fight against the sky?"

This day, Mr. Ouyang refers to the Emperor of Chu.

The emperor is such an emperor. No matter how capable they are, if the emperor wants to commit suicide, there is nothing they can do.

Is it possible to drag the lives of the nine tribes to fight against the emperor? So how many people in your family are enough to die?

Why cant we fight?!

Why cant we fight?!

Two voices sounded at the same time. Gu Jinan and Ouyang Ming were stunned and looked in the direction of the sound. What caught their eyes was each other.

Mr. Ouyang had a headache, but seemed to be relieved, and asked them: "Then how do you want to fight?"

Ouyang Ming came to the outer room of the study and said to Mr. Ouyang: "Grandpa, we don't have to fight the emperor openly. We can use detours. There are many ways, so we can't give up at the beginning."

If you give up without even fighting, then what are you still doing?

"What the girl said is so true!" Gu Jinan's heart that had hit rock bottom returned to its original position, and he looked at Mr. Ouyang: "Sir, there are thousands of difficult things in the world, and there are thousands of ways to solve them. There will definitely be a way, please sir. Help and dont give up.

Mr. Ouyang glanced at him and said: "What you said means you didn't say it. You still don't have any ideas now? Well, I'm not a ruthless person. As long as you can think of a way, I can help you." Its still okay.

Thank you for your kindness, sir! Mr. Ouyang was still willing to help the Liming people, which made Gu Jinans eyes light up again.

Thank you, grandpa. Ouyang Ming solemnly saluted Ouyang Hu.

Ouyang Hu said angrily: "You did it on purpose. You insisted on forcing me...I am already very old, and I really don't want to care about these nonsense things that can kill the whole family."
