There is a remote shop by the Luo River, with several thatched houses on the roadside, and two small boats tied under the willow trees behind the house. Under the scorching sun, there is only cicadas shouting desperately, there is no figure on the road, and there is no white sail in the river.

At a table in the store, several officials who were recently sent to do chores were gathered.

Zhang Ai Si's face was as gloomy as if water was about to drip. He drank a few bowls of wine without saying a word, and slapped the table hard and said, "That guy Peng Sanli has already handed a complaint to the county, suing me for robbing myself, and selling the residence by the dock to Wu Xiaoliu at a low price!"

Song Ai Siyu said sarcastically: "Peng Sanli is so brave. He dares to do such things, and he is not afraid that his second brother will cut him alive! But after speaking, Ai Si did this matter too roughly. As long as he is willing, who can't tell whether it's wrong? The residence with more than 70 rooms is priced at 500 jin. Unless the magistrate is stupid, how can he not see the evil of the love?"

Zhang Aishi sneered: "You don't have to be happy. The magistrate and the minister of the county have attacked me. Do you think you can escape? A few days ago, who dares to say that he is innocent? If I fall into it, you can't escape!"

Tan Jie Li whispered: "We have some benefits, but who dares to do this! The store is worth two or three thousand guan. The lieutenant wanted to take over 500 guan. It was really too greedy. There is no need to report Peng Sanli for this matter. As long as you report to the magistrate, you can see the problems inside at a glance. Anyway, the store has not been delivered yet, and the lieutenant just made a mistake and made up for the poor price."

Zhang Aishi poured another bowl of wine, raised his head and drank it, and sneered repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you all want to put down the wrong things now, look at me, don't you? This is the charge of beheading. I want to see who can escape safely in the end!"

The two Affiliates in the county are generally not in line with each other. If the relationship is good, the officials will generally be replaced. The officials in Gong County have Zhang Affiliates as a faction and Song Affiliates as a faction, each with their own personnel and their own territory. Even the forces in each township belong to one of them, and their relationship has been very stable over the years.

Officials divide and govern officials and people, so officials naturally have ways to deal with them. On the surface, they fight to the death, contact each other in private, coordinate with each other, and deal with the officials above. Zhang Aishi and Song Aishi are both fighting and cooperating.

Song Ayeshi's power is mainly in the city, outside the city, Zhang Ayeshi's power is large, and most of the benefits of the wharf are occupied by Zhang Ayeshi. Correspondingly, most of the benefits of the restaurants sold in the city belong to Song Ayeshi.

If the magistrate wants to attack officials and arrest a Zhang Ai Shi, he will inevitably bring up the matter of Song Ai Shi and cannot escape. At this time, they will prosper and lose together, and they must cooperate to deal with it.

After a while of his mouth, Song Aisi said, "Second brother, the matter has come to this point, and we must come up with a solution. If the magistrate succeeds this time, Gongxian will have no place to gain a foothold in the future. Not to mention wealth and glory, wealth and life will be difficult to protect! "

Zhang Aishi nodded: "Brother is right to say this! In this crisis, we should work together to deal with it together to have a way out! As long as we have an internal strife and the magistrate and the minister packed it up, we will be like a native chicken and a tile!"

When several officials saw that the two leaders spoke so seriously, they realized that the situation was serious and they all looked at them together.

Song Aishi thought for a while and said, "Second brother, if there is any solution, you might as well speak out and discuss it."

Zhang Aishi looked at everyone, was silent for a while before saying, "Only the current plan is to break the road to death!"

Tan Jie Li was startled: "The magistrate is to make the magistrate and the husband."

Speaking of this, he made a beheading move in his hand and shook his head repeatedly: "How can this make? The officials do not fight with the officials, and the magistrate and the magistrate and the minister will punish the whole family if there is a slight mistake!"

"What are you saying?" Zhang Aishi slapped the table, "Now Qingping World, Lang Lang Qiankun, who dares to do such a rebellion? As long as we can't stay in Gong County, it's enough! With the lessons of the current magistrate, if another magistrate comes, he will definitely not dare to investigate these things again!"

Song Aisi let out a sigh and shook his head involuntarily: "What does second brother mean? Or should he fall in love with the summer tax?"

"Yes, as long as the summer tax cannot be collected or it may cause a civil rebellion, will the magistrate's official still want to continue?" Zhang Aishi's eyes were sharp, and his fingers shaved lightly at the table, looking at everyone.

Tan Jiewei whispered: "According to the old rules, the money and food of the powers have been completed within half a month. Now the time limit has passed, and most of the taxes of these families have been collected. It is nothing more than just being sent to the county with the clerks from all over the country. Now the rest are small households. As long as the county urges, who dares not accept it? This matter is not easy to do!"

The Song Dynasty's tax account books and powerful families were those who were rich and powerful, including official households, upper-class households, households with family members as officials in prefectures and counties, etc., which specifically established accounts. When the tax collection began, these families would pay first and complete within half a month. The remaining civilians would have two months to slowly collect the collection.

There are at least two purposes for this. One is that the power families are rich and powerful, and some are powered. Money and grain are the most difficult to collect. At the beginning, the government first attacked these families and concentrated on dealing with them in the first half of the month. If they did not collect their taxes, the taxes of other ordinary people would not be collected first, forcing local governments to bite the tough problems. In addition to Kaifeng Prefecture, the proportion of power families in various places is not large, generally less than 10%, which is a minority in society and is easy to deal with when isolated. Another reason is that by collecting the taxes of the power families, they can use them to collect taxes from other ordinary people and reduce the cost of tax collection by the government.

Doing this will kill two birds with one stone. The tax cost of collecting large households is low, and it is cost-effective for the government to make efforts. Ordinary civilians have high tax cost, and it is not cost-effective for the government to collect one by one. If the government forces are forced to collect, the tax cost will be transferred to them.

A fundamental principle of tax donations in the Song Dynasty was "wealth first and then poverty, from near to far". From a system, we should be strict with the upper-class households in rural areas, especially the situation households, and lenient with the lower-class households. This system stipulates that even if the system is not implemented thoroughly, the country's tax burden will not be suppressed to the poorest families. It is a measure to ease class contradictions.

The summer tax starts on May 15th, and July 30th is the deadline. Now it is June, and the households' money and grain collection have been collected in Gong County. The hardest bones have been gnawed. It is difficult to collect summer tax in the county, so it is difficult to operate. Therefore, Tan Jiejie felt that the county could not collect summer tax and forced the magistrate away. It is too late now and most likely it will not work.

Zhang Aisi sneered: "As long as the money and grain have not been distributed to the county, there is a way to imagine. The village clerk and the village clerk, as long as we have a piece of text, it is not easy for the money and grain of the warehouse to be dispersed back!"

Hearing this, Song Aishi was shocked: "Second brother, do you mean that we will not do anything?"

"Not bad!" Zhang Ai Si slapped the table suddenly, "If you don't do it, you won't have to stop. The magistrate's uncle made us unable to survive, so we might as well make things bigger! Let's go back to the money and grain, and we will hide in Taishi Mountain for a few days, saying that we will become a bandit, then we will become a bandit! As long as we force the magistrate's uncle to leave, we will still live our own good life when we come back!"
