The head of the Zheng family knelt outside the gate and cried.

The family came out after hearing the news. After learning the news, they yelled and cried.

Those evaded taxes have long been regarded by them as their own income, and they keep what should be spent and what should be saved.

And now, the emperor wants them to spit them out.

Ma Hongzhong looked confused.

"Go and find out the news

!」

The servant was more courageous this time. Taking advantage of the Zheng family's chaos, he sneaked in and asked a familiar servant.

"Alang, those are the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The emperor ordered the rich and powerful people from all over the country to pay back taxes for the past twenty years."

"By God, how much will it cost in twenty years?" Ma Hongzhong knew without calculation that it would make him vomit blood. "No wonder the Liao family and the Zheng family are mourning. I have to cry too..."

Ma Hongzhong cried several times, but then he did not come to Ma's house.

"What's going on?" Ma Hongzhong was puzzled. His family did not dare to go to the county to inquire about the news, so he ordered the steward to go to the county to find out about the Ma family's connections.

The steward went and asked to see an acquaintance of the clerk, but the clerk was not there, saying he had gone to the countryside. He waited in the city for two days, and the clerk came back, tanned. When he saw him, he said: "I'm tired."

Already."

The steward smiled and said, "Then let's find a place to drink and relieve ourselves."

The two went to the wine shop. The clerk drank a glass of wine and sighed: "The people who came to Changan this time are officials from the Ministry of Revenue. Do you know who the general is commanding the army?"

The steward shook his head.

"General Qianniuwei, Wang Laoer."

"That murderer king!"

"That's right!" the clerk sighed: "Your Majesty ordered the wealthy families everywhere to pay taxes. Some people refused, and their homes were immediately confiscated. The whole family was taken to Chang'an, saying they were going to be exiled."

"Why bother?" The manager smiled bitterly, "My family, Alang, is ready. We just wait for someone to come to pay the tax. If not, we can just send it to the county ourselves."

"Your family..." The clerk looked at the steward with a strange look, "To be honest, does Mr. Ma have connections in the court? For example, do you know someone...an important minister, or someone close to His Majesty?" The steward was startled, and then said:

"If so, why should Alang be so panicked?"

He even exposed his family's scandal, and the clerk nodded, "It seems that there is indeed no such thing. That's the virtue accumulated by our ancestors!"

"What does this mean?" The steward raised his glass.

liquor.

The clerk let out a hiss, raised his head, put down his wine glass and said, "Last time, we were going to attack the Ma family, but your Alang took the initiative to send the list of slaves to the county house, so he escaped. This time it was said

The Ma family is considered a virtuous family, and the tax payment is reduced by 30%.

To be honest, I wanted to tip off the information, but the sergeants were keeping a close eye on me! The higher-ups had let the news go, who dared to tip off the information, and the whole family was exiled. On the one hand, they were closely watched, and on the other, they were exiled. Do you think I dare?"

"Of course I don't dare."

"I was so anxious! Then I followed the people from the Household Department of Chang'an down there. I just heard the news the day before yesterday that all the powerful families in Xianyang had paid their taxes, but only one family had not paid the taxes. There was no need to pay. So I asked which family it was...

"

The clerk looked at the steward and said with a half-smile, "That person said it was the Ma family."

The manager felt relieved, and the clerk said: "The official who made the decision on this trip said that the Ma family took the initiative to hire tenant farmers to take care of the crops. This is understanding the overall situation. Do you know? From then on, the Ma family has been a model for my Xianyang family. Those

Taxes, as mentioned above, are exempted!"

The manager was excited and wanted to go home later. Ma Hongzhong was looking forward to it.

"Alang, it says that the Ma family doesn't have to pay taxes!"

The steward drank a lot of alcohol.

"Gods and Buddhas bless you, ancestors bless you!" Ma Hongzhong knelt down happily to thank him.

"It's Da Langjun!"

"What?" Ma Hongzhong turned around, "That traitor?"

"It said that the Ma family took the initiative to hire tenant farmers and understood the overall situation, so they exempted the Ma family from taxes. In Xianyang, our family is the only one exempted! Alang!"
