Chapter 545 Rebellion Theory

Li Erlang couldn't help but sat up straight, and asked with a smile, "Then do you think the king of Yizhou is a good official or a bad one?"

"I haven't met him before, so how do I know if he's a good official or a bad one?" Man Bao said as it should, "I'll tell you when I see him."

Bai Shanbao couldn't help but glanced at Man Bao, but didn't speak.

Li Erlang obviously didn't get such an answer, and asked with a smile: "Then based on what you've heard and what happened, is the King of Yizhou a good official or a bad one?"

Bai Shanbao couldn't help but said: "Not a good official."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Bai Shanbao said: "Not counting the year of the flood, two years have passed. Yizhou has only been exempted from tax for three years, and the tax will be re-collected this autumn. As a result, until now, the price of grain in Yizhou has remained high. It’s very different from what it was three years ago.”

Bai Shanbao said: "Yizhou is his fief, so it can be seen that he is not a good official."

"This is because the officials in Yizhou are appointed by the imperial court. The king of Yizhou has no right to appoint or dismiss him. If he manages poorly, it can't be regarded as the fault of the king of Yizhou, right?"

"The king of Yizhou has neither the right to appoint or remove, nor can he manage local affairs, so why did the court entrust him?" Bai Shanbao said, "If it's only greedy for money, wouldn't it be better to just confine the royal family's children to the capital?"

Li Erlang was slightly surprised, speechless.

The four people beside him couldn't help but look at each other, looking at Bai Shan with complicated expressions.

Man Bao nodded, "It is said that the children of the royal family who are entrusted are not allowed to do this, and they are not allowed to do that, but in fact, the fief is their territory, so whether a king is good or not, the people in the fief will know. "

Li Erlang said with an inexplicable expression: "Wang Jujun is regarded by the people as the best official in the world, but he turned against him in the end."

Man Bao quietly ate a piece of dim sum on the plate, and laughed happily when he heard the words, "The king of Yizhou can't be Wang Mang, he can at most be Liu Bi and his ilk."

Bai Shanbao nodded, "If he can become King Jujun, then we people in Yizhou can enjoy a few more years of happiness."

Man Bao nodded again and again, "Especially my family, we must enjoy more blessings."

The four people sitting beside them were drenched in cold sweat.

"Why?" Li Erlang asked with a normal expression: "If someone treats you like Wang Jujun, wouldn't you follow him to rebel?"

Man Bao shook his head, "What rebellion? The emperor didn't let my whole family go to war, nor did he let my whole family fill the aqueduct with his life. If he wants to be a king, he must respect our choice."

Li Erlang: "...it's not good if you don't repay someone's kindness, right?"

Man Bao looked at him strangely and said: "This is the fiefdom of the King of Yizhou. We give him all he eats, drinks, and uses. Every year we pay taxes, donations, etc. to share Was it dialed to his house?"

"So it is only right that he treats us well. We will like him and be grateful to him, but let's forget about the rebellion. If you are not careful, you will die." Man Bao thought for a while and said: "But this Don't worry, because my father is at home."

Her father is not brain-dead, so he will not let the family members rebel. If there are really people in the village forming a gang to rebel, the father will definitely take them to hide in the mountains first.

It was the first time Li Erlang heard such words, and it took him a while to react.

Bai Shanbao, Man Bao and Bai Erlang looked up at him suspiciously, and even Zhou Zhoulang looked at him without moving.

Li Erlang raised his heart and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No," Man Bao said, "Mr. Li Er, let's not talk about rebellion. There have been so many rebels throughout the ages, how many succeeded in the end? So let's live in peace of mind."

Li Erlang couldn't help but laugh, "Then what if the king is incompetent?"

"God will chop him up," Man Bao said calmly, "If God doesn't chop him up, the virtuous ministers in the court will scold him too. The emperor is fine, so we don’t have to worry about this for the time being, so don’t even think about rebelling, it will harm others and yourself.”

The food came out quickly, and it happened that Li Erlang didn't know what to say, so he fell silent, and everyone ate together quietly.

When he was full, Man Bao said: "Mr. Li Er, what you just said just now is your thank you gift for inviting us to dinner. If we meet again in the future, we will pretend that we don't know each other."

Li Erlang: ...

Four attendants: ...

Bai Shanbao nodded, cupped his hands and said, "There will be no future."

Bai Erlang also cupped his hands, and left together with Bai Shanbao and the others, and only asked when they were far away, "Why do we have an indefinite date?"

Man Bao said: "Because they look too complicated, we are still children and weak, so don't associate with such people."

Bai Shanbao nodded: "And they don't look like good people either."

"Where is he not like a good person?"

"Good people don't ask questions about rebellion." Bai Shanbao felt that they got along pretty well, and felt a little sorry, and told Bai Erlang, "Don't spread the words we said in the box today."

Man Bao also told Zhou Zhou Lang, "Fourth brother, don't tell the outside world, and don't tell your parents either."

"Got it, got it," Zhou Zhoulang said, "Don't worry, I know it well."

Li Erlang stood at the door of the restaurant and watched them walk away, couldn't help turning his head and laughing with the four of them: "We have become a poison to be avoided."

The entourage who followed behind were about to chat and laugh when they saw a carriage coming from the street, and the people in the carriage opened the curtain to see them.

The two sides looked at each other, this side froze for a moment and then smiled slightly, but the eyes of the people in the carriage widened, the carriage stopped immediately, one person hurriedly got out of the carriage, lifted the hem of his clothes and was about to kneel, Li Erlang stretched out his hand to help him. Stopped him and said with a smile, "why be so polite?"

"Holy, holy man!"

Li Erlang said with a smile: "Since we met, let's go to the mansion to have a look."

The newly appointed Jiannan Road Jiedu Envoy Master Zhang sweated on his forehead, bowed and stepped aside, and hurriedly asked him to get into the car.

Li Erlang glanced back at one of his attendants for a while, and then supported Master Zhang's hand to get into the car.

The follower took two steps back, hid himself in the crowd, turned around and disappeared, and he wanted to find someone to clean his tail.

Man Bao and the others, who knew nothing about it, returned home, but Mr. Zhuang hadn't come back to visit. The three younger ones yawned and decided to take a nap.

After waking up, he found a ladder and climbed up to the wall, watching the Yan's family opposite to join in the fun.

The County Magistrate Tang, who was coming to inspect, walked around the garden with his hands behind his back. When he noticed his gaze, he looked up. Man Bao met his gaze and waved to him cheerfully, "Master Tang, are you repairing the fence? "

I overslept and woke up at half past five
