Zhang Lu represents the city lord and the rule maker. In the hearts of these people, the rule maker will definitely favor themselves, which will lead to unfairness to the people.

In addition, they generally have a relatively low level of education and are easily incited by aristocratic families, leading them to believe in the aristocratic families' propaganda methods but not the City Lord's Mansion.

Those taxes are very complicated, but complicated taxes will be more convenient to manage. Ordinary people are not exposed to many, and the city lord's palace has specialized personnel to help them calculate it, so they do not need to convert so much by themselves.

However, the newly established regime does not have such high credibility. Baixinhui feels that they set the rules and the amount of money to pay. They are a vulnerable group and must have been exploited and squeezed by the powerful groups.

At this time, the aristocratic family that had mastered the means of publicity and propaganda once again instigated it, resulting in the current riot.

But they don't know that they are just a tool of the noble family, a shield for the people to ignore the law. As long as those in power care about the rules, there is no way to kill them. Otherwise, if they want to kill them, why not kill all the protesting people?

Among the people protesting, there was a group of people who were the most excited, and that was the small number of students from poor families who failed to pass the college entrance examination. They had a little bit of knowledge but accomplished nothing all day long.

They were unable to join the ranks of aristocratic families and failed in the college entrance examination. At the same time, they did not want to do the same poor work as the common people, which led to a poor life. Therefore, they blamed this difficult life on the current people in power. Because they have some knowledge, they incited the common people. The most diligent people who could not read a word followed them, which also satisfied their vanity.

In their hearts, they are insightful people who are not afraid of power and whose thoughts are at the forefront of the times. However, they do not know that they are just pawns of a noble family.

After understanding the current situation, Zhang Lu slowly landed, stepped on the somersault cloud and said, "I heard that you want to see me, why?"

Although he knew everything, he just wanted the person opposite to tell him personally!

The arrival of Zhang Lu made the people quiet down, and the children of the aristocratic family changed from taking the lead in shouting slogans to being obedient, standing aside silently, because they knew that the man in front of them could really kill people. .

Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, a scholar felt a sense of superiority in his heart and began to shout loudly the slogans shouted by the children of the aristocratic families before, even those children of the aristocratic families themselves did not dare to shout.

The scholar's classmates wanted to stop him, but he would not listen. Now he felt that even if he died, it would be a great success. He was the pioneer of Hailin City's tax reform, and the people would remember him!

Some other scholars who had not participated in the riot from the beginning shook their heads. When they received the news from the aristocratic family, they did not blindly believe it. Instead, they calculated the taxes of the Immortal Realm themselves and came to the conclusion that if they follow this According to the tax rules, the taxes for the common people only need to be one-third of the original amount, and the taxes for merchants have almost remained unchanged, but the big families have to pay half more taxes.

With the results of their own actual calculations, of course they, scholars from poor backgrounds, would not participate in the protest, but wanted to stop it, but no one heard their voices. It was not because their voices were not loud enough, but because most people were selective. Ignore them.

"Please give us an explanation, Lord. Such high taxes are not something we can afford, nor can the people afford it. Although you said that the taxes paid by the people under the new tax law will be significantly reduced, there are so many types of taxes. , it is easy to have taxes from unknown sources!”

The old man looked at Zhang Lu, who was legendary for his iron-blooded tactics, without any fear, because there were many people behind him. As long as Zhang Lu wanted to secure his position, he would have to worry about what the people thought, otherwise a large number of people would flee and Hailin City's Resource output will come to a standstill!

Zhang Lu nodded, suspended in the air and looked down at all living beings, and then said: "I know that no matter how I explain, you will not believe it, because you have preconceivedly believed their words. In this way, starting from today, all people can participate Vote, vote for twelve people to oversee the taxation.”

"If there is any irregularity in tax collection during the period, these twelve people can report it directly to me, and from now on, in all cities in the Immortal Domain, the individual agricultural taxes of the people will be exempted for three years!"

His voice reached the ears of everyone present. The people who were incited by the family would not believe Zhang Lu's words, but they would not refuse the benefits. However, if all cities were exempted from agricultural taxes for three years, it would be difficult for the economy of Xianyu to survive. Gotta live with it.

Naturally, he still has a way to deal with this. He will let these people know why the aristocratic families in Newland City and Yunlin City are so honest and obedient!

Huan Ri was unsheathed, and the clamoring scholar was immediately burned to ashes by the flames. He was just a chess piece that didn't understand anything, and there was no need to stay.

None of the people at the scene spoke for the scholar. They got the benefits. Three years of agricultural taxes allowed them to recuperate and live a prosperous life. They didn't even glance at the scholar's position.

"Tu Xingsun, take all the children of these aristocratic families to Yunlin City for interrogation, find out who is behind the scenes, execute them and confiscate their homes!"

Since tax exemptions are to be used to stabilize the people, the economy must have a source of income. This riot was instigated by the aristocratic family, and they should seek compensation from the aristocratic family!

These people are just scapegoats who have been pushed out. Even if they are interrogated, they will not get any useful information, but the location of this interrogation is Yunlin City!

Wang Jiang has been waiting in Yunlin City for a long time. The great purge that both Newland City and Yunlin City have experienced will be staged again in Hailin City!

Those children of the aristocratic families didn't know what they were going to face, so they were taken away by the soldiers very obediently. Their mission had been completed. In the past three years of agricultural tax, the aristocratic family had a lot of room to operate, and even used this tax exemption to It is very possible to bring down Zhang Lu!

After the protesting crowd dispersed, Zhang Lu landed at the door of the city lord's palace. Tu Xingsun immediately walked up. He was a little confused. Why should all cities be exempted from agricultural taxes for three years? He expressed his doubts.

"If only Hailin City enjoys this policy, then other cities will also be caught by the aristocratic families. Don't worry, those aristocratic families will not be able to survive for long."

He walked into the city lord's palace and sat at the top of the hall. Below him were the talents who stood out in the big exam. They just had no good way to deal with the protests, and many things required Zhang Lu to make decisions.

The leader of the old man covered his face and said seriously: "Lord, I am ashamed of you!"
