Chapter 830 The Anyang Incident
Xiao Yuan wanted to go out of the pass with the courage of the Qin army soldiers, but was opposed by a group of important officials. When the princess was pregnant, this matter gradually faded.
But at this moment, something big happened in Anyang.
Judging from the entire empire, Anyang is the border in the northeast. Except for the land under its jurisdiction, it is surrounded by Huan Kingdom cities, which means it is located within Huan Kingdom.
When the princes formed an alliance to fight against foreign enemies and defeated the alien ghost army, Ling and Xuan were unwilling to interfere in Anyang, believing that it was located on the border and would consume military funds and supplies to deploy defense, without any profit. Therefore, Xiao Yuan took advantage of the situation to be included in Qin
Country map.
This is a border county located in Huan's country. It can be imagined that King Huan must be very dissatisfied with Anyang's view.
But at the beginning, Anyang was the fief of Yu'anmin, not the territory of Huan Kingdom. In the end, it was returned to Qin, and there was nothing to say about Huan Kingdom.
The surrounding area is all about the territory of our country. It is just Anyang, so annoying. The Huan court has also discussed this many times. To this day, it has inspired a new round of debate in the court because Huandi near Anyang
The people are fleeing to Anyang one after another.
The cause of the incident was mostly due to the current heavy taxes of Huan Kingdom. After the defeat of the various countries, Huan Kingdom was hit hard again. For King Huan, if you want to restore some national strength, there is no doubt that the most effective way is to collect intensive taxes to fill the army.
Funding.
At the suggestion of Minister Guo Kai, during this period, Huan Kingdom gradually increased a number of miscellaneous taxes. In the end, any name will be used, and even if the people go out on the street, they may be charged money.
After the above government orders, the officials below took this to the extreme and tried every means to plunder the people's wealth. Some poor families had no money to pay taxes, and even the door panels were removed.
It's true that under such countless miscellaneous taxes, the treasury of Huan's country suddenly increased, and King Huan also increased his confidence and had great plans to revitalize his military power. But what he didn't know was that the people had already complained.
However, Anyang, in the Huan Kingdom, implemented Qin ruling. Not only were the laws strictly enforced, but the taxes were also clear, and there were many policies that benefit the people. It can be imagined that in dire straits, how could the people next to Anyang not go?
Escape here.
At the beginning, just a small group of people came to Anyang to find relatives and friends. In order to evade heavy taxes, gradually, the number of people has increased. To this day, it has been in large groups and turbulent.
Swallowing refugee scale.
In response to this, Yang Qing'an, who was the magistrate of Anyang County at that time, opened the city gates and refused to refuse. He included all the fleeing people in the county and posted a notice that if he was willing to settle in Anyang, the Qin State Council would provide some support for the cultivation of deserted fields.
As a result, the news spread and more people came! In a short period of time, the population of Anyang County increased dramatically, and more importantly, the Qin dynasty here was compared with the harsh policies of the exploitation of Huan Kingdom.
, which caused great contrast among the people, resulting in small-scale unrest in many places.
Yang Qing'an was an official from the Ministry of Personnel. He followed Xiao Yuan for many years and was loyal. He just wanted to cure Anyang well and manage it more prosperously and stably.
However, this incident was naturally different when it came to King Huan.
In the court, King Huan was also furious about this: "Anyang is a county of Qin. Now the people of our country of Huan are rushing to this place, but Yang Qing'an is so at ease that he posted a notice of peace and security, and what is his intention!"
The people fled because the court did not allow them to live. If they could be stable, who would be willing to leave their hometowns and go into exile everywhere?
Obviously, Huan Xiangqiu Rong also realized this problem and immediately said: "King, the reason why the people fled to Anyang is the recent harsh government. With the view of the ministers, they govern the country and rule the people, and they must not be exploited at will.
If you hurt the people, you will still hurt the country's foundation."
Hearing this, King Huan frowned and said slightly unhappy: "What about the Prime Minister's opinion?"
"The king should immediately issue the king's orders and restore the previous system." Qiu Rong said directly.
"But these policies of this king did not cut off the lives of the people. They only increased the scope and age of taxation on the basis of the original basis. As the people of Huan Kingdom, shouldn't they contribute to the strong country?
"King Huan said.
"King, in recent years, there have been many wars in our country. The previous period was not only invaded by the ghost clan, but also invaded the capital of the country, and it was already too heavy to bear the burden. At this time, the court's tax increase will inevitably lead to a lack of life.
After the court policy was in place, local officials tried to exploit the people in order to achieve so-called political achievements. How could they not be in chaos?” Qiu Rong said sadly.
After hearing what he said, King Huan couldn't help but look at Guo Kai.
Seeing this, the latter hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I feel that what the Prime Minister said is not unreasonable. In order to prevent the common people's livelihood, we should strictly order the local government and do everything according to the will of the court. We should not increase taxes at will. Some
Officials are indeed very hateful and have completely ruined the national plan."
"Yeah..." King Huan nodded slowly.
Guo Kai continued: "In addition, Yang Qing'an, the governor of Anyang County, is even more hateful. He occupies an Anyang in the territory of our country of Huan. He makes a big statement that is not conducive to our country's affairs and promotes Qin's law. In this way, our country should warn him.
”
"What about Lord Guo's opinion?" King Huan asked directly.
Guo Kaidao: "While sending envoys to Anyang and questioning Yang Qing'an, he asked him to release the people of Huan Kingdom and return to his hometown. In the future, it is prohibited to accept the people of our country."
"But, can Yang Qing'an agree to this?" King Huan was a little unconfident.
Guo Kaize said: "He Anyang County is located in the territory of our country and is surrounded by our country's territory. Can we make any more waves?"
"But if you offend the King of Qin, what should you do?" King Huan was still a little worried.
"My country is to argue with reason." Guo Kai said directly.
"Yeah." King Huan nodded again, then looked at Qiu Rong again: "Where is the Prime Minister's opinion?"
Qiu Rong rarely agrees with Guo Kai on this matter, saying: "My country should indeed send envoys to Anyang to contact Yang Qing'an. At this point, he must not be allowed to do so."
Although King Huan did not trust Qiu Rong very much, he was the prime minister after all. With his confidant Guo Kai, he no longer hesitated and immediately said, "Okay, according to what my dear, I will send an envoy immediately to Yang Qing'an.
In terms, it shows our attitude and position.”
Huandu was not close to Anyang, and it was not until a few days later that the news reached Yang Qing'an.
At this time, Zhou Ce, the general of the Anyang garrison, was in the county government. When he heard that the envoy Huan was in the future, he was also worried and said, "Mr. Yang, we accept the people. Now that Anyang has so many people, King Huan will be dissatisfied, afraid that those who come will come will be afraid
Not good.”
