The man spoke loudly. As soon as his voice fell, some people thought of something, so someone echoed loudly:

"Not only that, the people of Nalan have a grain yield of 1000 kg per mu and pay less taxes than us. Don't mention that the grain yield of 1000 kg per mu is provided by the imperial court! Nalan is now besieged by the four countries, isn't it more difficult than Beiming? Why don't people increase taxes, let alone collect protection taxes from the people? They collect them again and again!"

"The imperial court wants to collect protection tax! It's almost unheard of. The imperial court is not a bandit and mountain thief! Look at the soldiers of Nalan when we Beiming attacked the cities of Nalan. They shouted that it was incumbent on them to protect their homes and defend their country! Did the soldiers of Nalan charge extra silver and taxes before they went to the battle to kill the enemy?"

"If you want to blame Nalan, blame Nalan! Who let Nalan attack us? Don't think about it. Who sent troops first to occupy the two cities of others! If we didn't send troops to Beiming, would others fight back? Whose fault is it?"

"Yes, it's our Beiming state that attacked Nalan. If the imperial court doesn't have enough preparation, why do you attack Nalan! Then provoke others to come to the door and look like you can't cope!"

"I don't care who beats who! But I've paid taxes again and again. I haven't dropped them once! My family wants to pay any protection tax this time. I don't have enough food to eat until spring. I've tried my best! If I don't want food, I'll be driven out of the city! Anyway, I heard that Nalan said it in the afternoon , don't hurt innocent people! Maybe there is a way to live under the hands of Nalan soldiers! "

"No, it's said that the emperor of Nalan loves his people like a son. Over the years, Nalan has become stronger and stronger day by day. As long as there is one mu of land in his family, he can go from not having enough food to having extra food to raise chickens and ducks and eat some small meat at once."

Anfeng county is adjacent to Beifeng County, and the people of the two places have more or less business contacts. The days of the people of Nalan country have indeed gone better and better in the past two years. This has spread, which is envied not only by the people of Beiming country, but also by the people of other three countries.

Then they thought of the war letter of Naran and the letter to all the people.

Recently, these two letters have been advanced.

In particular, the letter to all the people was written so sincerely!

Among them, there are several sentences that say: dare you ask the kings of the four countries, did Naran take a grain of rice from you?

Dare you ask the kings of the four countries, did Nalan invade half an inch of your land?

Dare you ask the kings of the four countries, did Nalan kill an innocent people?

Why do the four countries waste the lives of all the people in the world and launch a war to destroy the peace of the four countries? How many families have been destroyed and destroyed by the chaos in the world?

Provoking war and chaos will harm not only the people of Naran, but also the people of your own country. How can you bear to ask the kings of the four countries?

You put your people in a hot and chaotic war. What are you trying to do?

Who is to blame for the smoke of war and the loss of life?

Is it strange that Naran was besieged by the four countries for no reason?

Why did they have to be swallowed up by the four countries?

How innocent are they in Naran?

Think about it. Well, why should we attack Nalan, but we can't win. Now others have fought back. Who can blame?

As the king of Naran said, it's a beautiful day to share the prosperity of this prosperous era and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment?

It's a good day, but we have to get flames of war everywhere. People's families are broken and people die. They can't eat enough. What's this for?

So the people's protest became more vigorous.

Asking the county magistrate for an explanation!

I'm trying to see the county magistrate!

The county magistrate didn't come out, and everyone even rushed to go in.

Seeing this, the constable quickly asked someone to catch a group of people who had just taken the lead in making trouble and put them in prison.

Only in this way did the public anger subside this time.

In the next few days, the Yamen people directly drove the people who didn't pay taxes out of the city. Seeing many people being driven out of the city, many people endured tears and handed over the food painfully!

Although the war of Naran said not to kill innocent people, who dares to believe such words!

Many people dare not go out of the city, except the people who really can't afford food.

In the yard

Warm is carving jade. Nalan Jinnian sits beside him to study the art of war. After he conquers Anfeng County, he will conquer a city next.

We should not only attack the next city, but also face the siege of other three countries, and even take the initiative to attack the cities of other three countries.

He was used to making all the preparations in advance. Only by carefully studying, thinking of all the possibilities of the four countries' alliance, without omission, and coming up with a method of winning by surprise, could he ensure that Naran would not be swallowed up by the four countries.

For Nalan Jinnian, his biggest advantage is that relying on Xiaohei and Xiaodun, he can get the trend of the enemy of the four countries as soon as possible, and then quickly make countermeasures!

However, it is futile to know the enemy's trend and fail to make a good response strategy. Therefore, he will look at the map every day, study how the enemy will fight that war from various materials, guess all kinds of possibilities and think of ways to deal with it.

Only in this way can Naran be invincible.

Lv Shu came in at this time, saluted, and then said, "master, princess, the people of Anfeng county are making trouble in the Yamen. Some people have been caught in prison by the constable, and two of our people have been locked in. Do you want to save them?"

Nalan Jinnian put down his pen: "no, it won't be closed for too long. Let them stay inside and do what they should do!"

"Yes!" Lv Shu answered.

Warm asked, "what's the situation outside now?"

"Princess Hui, the people of Anfeng county are still very resistant to paying the protection tax. Those people spontaneously organized a team to protest in the yamen, but the county magistrate of Anfeng County didn't come out to see them. Now a group of people have been arrested. The people dare to be angry but dare not speak, but they are more and more dissatisfied. Many people shout that they won't pay the protection tax, but many people really do There is no food left. This year's drought in the north, Anfeng county is also a serious drought. Some of those poor families even have no harvest. After paying them again and again, where can they take out grain?! It's a problem to survive this winter! "

Warm nodded. Just because of the drought in the north and the flood in the south, they came to Nalan. The emperor also reserved a sum of grain to provide porridge in winter, so that the people who lost their grain could spend the winter safely.
