C3526 Tax exemption

Yi Cong couldn't pretend to be mute now, he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. There were still a hundred thousand Chinese people watching, and even foreign devils had come.

If they were to see that the Manchu was not of the same heart, God knows how many more troubles would arise.

"Saibao! Why didn't you hurry up and thank him for such a favor? Or are you saying that you are too timid and do not dare to restore the glory of your ancestors? "

"Why wouldn't I dare? Since it was chosen by the His Majesty, then I would be the Son of Heaven's personal army. I will go to the northwest and fight for a rich name!"

After saying that, Sai Bao kowtowed three times to Tongzhi, then pretended to be a hero and stood in front of the group!

felt so disgusted that he wanted to throw up when he saw this scene. Even Ma Ming and the other New Imperial Army felt that something was wrong!

However, Yi Cong and the other officials of the imperial court were enjoying the show. This show had been going on for two hundred years, and the emperor's son had helped them out, causing the people below to break down in tears of gratitude.

How good, how familiar, how kind the scene was!

We will always be the master of the lofty, throw a few pieces of meat and bones to watch the hound fight ah! Loyalty has a price, as long as your servants give a price, the master can afford it.

She was actually quite lowly. In the big house, after a long time, she had married three wives and four concubines, as well as several tens of beautiful maid s that she could play with.

The family's gold and silver reserves were filled. When the commoners went out, they kowtowed and called for the old master. Even the local officials had to bow and pay their respects!

What else? Wasn't life supposed to be filled with this kind of vigor? Even these emperors could afford it!

The loyalty that Sayo had expressed was clearly stated. He had even called out the price himself, risking his life to earn a name for himself. Yet, he had revealed his loyalty to the Emperor just like that.

Since ancient times, people had always liked people who were easy to see through. They knew what people wanted, and they also knew that they could afford to give it.

However, in the eyes of Tongzhi and the others, what they saw as a very ordinary show of loyalty had become synonymous with disgust.

Zai Chun still had to pretend to smile, but he had a big question in his heart: "Is this the person I want to change Great Qing's direct line of descent? This loyalty to price is the basis of my rule? "

"The commune warrior who eat the meat of dead cats and mice and fight with red flags! Those Southern Legion who even went to the south of France to pay for their own expenses to join the army and fight! "

"Why are they fighting, why are they dying? Who gave them the rewards for being a high and mighty official? "

Those who had seen foreign devils' markets all had different thoughts. The little Emperor's heart had already been led wild by Xiao Letian!

Tongzhi suppressed his anger and disgust, and looked at everything with a faint smile, "We do not have a personal authority yet, nor do we have a shred of kindness to the citizens … Such a welcoming party is truly flattering! "

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, being able to receive you is the blessing of all citizens! " Prefect Song Jiang hurriedly knelt down to flatter.

Those who started out went to support them. The black mass of people all kneeled down, including Prince Chun. There were also the officers and soldiers of New Imperial Army.

Ling Mutai and the other three hundred guards had become a monster. They strictly followed Xiao Letian's rule of no one kneeling down, all of them standing straight in the sea of people like three hundred reefs.

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Lian Xing, was the first to start a ruckus, "How dare you not kneel, how dare you! Kneel down … "Kneel …"

With one of them leading the way, the group of brainless people jumped and hooted. This scene was a bit funny.

The three hundred Foreign Legion soldiers watched as the group of officials jumped and shouted at them, but not a single one of the other Qing Dynasty Army soldiers took action.

Are you saying that we committed a heinous crime? Before they could do anything, the soldiers and bailiffs all pretended to be blind and mute. Instead, it was the officers who jumped up and down.

After all, Ling Mutai was from the Fusang wild warrior, so he did not know what was going on. "The Führer has his orders, Chinese soldiers can only kneel and worship the heavenly parents and the heroic spirits of the Temple of War!"

"No one else is worth kneeling on!"

"How dare you!" This was simply barbarian! The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, the Sun. Without the His Majesty, there is no way for ordinary people to live. It should be killed! "

Tongzhi's face was as red as a piece of cloth. "Enough! Chinese Army's rules and regulations have nothing to do with Great Qing, and I have been heavily protected by him for the past few years … They have the right not to kneel! "

"Ling Mutai... How about you guys go to the bank first, I will meet with the old shopkeeper tonight! "

Ling Mutai shrugged indifferently, "Yes, Your Majesty … "Everyone, leave the team and return to the bank. Our task is done today!"

His leather boots trampled on the river bank, causing dust to fly into the air. The dirt foam flew into the mouths of those officials in exchange for a burst of puffing.

Zai Chun suddenly thought of a joke Master Xiao Letian had told him!

"Zai Chun! Do you know why the guard dog yells when he meets an acquaintance? It was clearly a relative of the family whom Gouzi knew, but would Gouzi still want to call him? "

"Actually, the reason is very simple. Dogman is shouting at his acquaintances not to bite them, but to claim credit from his master …" It wants to tell Master how loyal I am to you. I won't admit it to any of my relatives for your sake! "

Wasn't the current scene exactly the same as what his master had told him?

Does the Ministry of Internal Affairs's Lian Xing not know the Chinese rules? Back then, when the Head of the Guards led his troops to attack the Beijing, who didn't know the rules of the Chinese army when he was practicing martial arts at the Supreme Harmony Temple?

Lian Xing was personally experienced in the past, but today, he was about to lead a group of officials to jump up and down just like how he did today. To put it bluntly, he didn't want to show off his presence in front of Soo Soo and ask Master Wang to prove his existence and that he was still useful and loyal!

Tongzhi took a deep breath and looked at the pair of retreating Marines. His eyes revealed a trace of reluctance, but it only lasted for a moment.

"Pass my will!" I came to the Songjiang Prefecture this time to study and rest for the time being. I am not here to enjoy myself in Jiangnan … From today onwards, no one shall be disturbed by the excuse of receiving us! "

"Aren't you the people of Qingxiang who have gathered today? Then just follow the list and give us silver s! "

"Today, all the commoners that came to welcome them received three silver coins each … The entire Songjiang Prefecture is exempt from six years of Tian Fu and Wu Fu as well as from being bestowed with additional services! "

"The fishermen who were with me earlier …" Exempt from eighteen years of taxes! "

As soon as Tongzhi finished speaking, all the officials and commoners present subconsciously raised their heads. Before the officials could object, a thunderous shout came from the Wu Songkou.

"Long live the emperor... Long live the emperor..." "Holy Son, Holy Son!"

Countless citizens were in so much pain that their faces were covered in tears. Today, this large gift package had smashed their heads until they were dizzy!

But the officials of the Songjiang Prefecture and the Shanghai Road were all dumbfounded. The Emperor was so generous, saving them six years in such a short period of time! Without these taxes for six years, what about local government revenues?

Do you want to live with six years of tightness in your belt? However, seeing the current atmosphere, no one dared to retort. They knew that if they retorted even a little, they would have to let the angered citizens tear them to shreds and throw them into the river to feed the fishes.

Zai Chun stood on the riverbank with his arms spread apart, and slowly closed his eyes to enjoy the warmth of the sunlight on his face, as well as the praises from all directions.

"This is what it really feels like!" "What I want is this true intent …"

"Bring out our imperial carriage … "The citizens of the Great Qing, I do not want to be a high and mighty emperor. I know that people are like water …"

"Our mountains and rivers can only be stabilized with the support of tens of thousands of citizens …" Is there anyone who is willing to carry imperial carriage? "
