Zhou Fan was free and was sitting in the pavilion to enjoy the snow. Qian Feifei stood beside him to report the matter.

"Sir, I can't hold on anymore. The main mansion of Hanbei Province has clearly issued a deadline." Qian Feifei said with a bitter face.

These days he has been dealing with the Lord of Hanbei Province and making various refusals. This is a very tiring thing.

"Old Qian, good-looking, can it be delayed for so long." Zhou Fan smiled and took a sip of tea. He looked at Xixue Piaofei and said, "Since you can't hold it anymore, then tell the Lord Hanbei Province that the Hei Shui Protectorate is poorer this year than in previous years. Can you not pay this tax this year?"

"Yes, sir." Qian Feifei was not surprised at all, because Zhou Fan showed no sign of taxing below during this period, so he had some guesses.

But he was still worried. Can you really not pay this tax? What are the consequences of doing so?

However, Qian Feifei still returned to the Lord's Mansion of Hanbei like Zhou Fan.

Qian Feifei originally thought he would be severely scolded by the Taoist Lord's Mansion, but he did not expect that the Taoist Lord's Mansion would not even send a formal reprimand to the Heishui Protectorate.

This surprising silence made Qian Feifei feel uneasy, and he told Zhou Fan about it.

"Because the battlefield is not here this time." Zhou Fan said meaningfully.

"Yes, the battlefield is not here." Du Ni said thoughtfully.

Qian Feifei looked confused.

On the winter solstice, there is no snow in the mirror, but the weather has become cloudy and cold. This cold is the cold that can invade the bone marrow.

In the warm court, the ministers were discussing government affairs.

The ministers have long been used to the fact that the priests have not attended court. If the priests have attended court, it is a strange thing. The one who presided over the court discussion is still the three phases, and can only be the three phases.

Today, the chief executive was replaced by Eunuch Long. Eunuch Long, who was standing in the corner, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was asleep.

The beginning of a court discussion is a small matter that is irrelevant or easy to decide on major matters without controversy, while matters that are difficult to decide are often put to the end for discussion.

But halfway through the court discussion, the left prime minister Ye Gaoshan picked up a memorial and glanced at it and said calmly: "The Lord of Hanbei Province reported that Zhou Fan, the Great Protector of Heishui Protector, did something wrong and did not obey the order. This year's tax collection was deliberately refusal and refused to pay it. He suggested that he be removed from his post."

"Sir Dongmen, what do you think?"

A huge ball of meat seemed to roll out from one side. If he hadn't moved, he would have seemed to be invisible in the morning.

Such a fat and huge body can be more invisible in the court discussion than the chief executive who supervises the court discussion. This has to be said to be a kind of skill.

He was playing the flute at the East Gate. The reason why he asked him was because he was the head of the Yiluansi. Whether it was the Lord of Hanbei or the Heishui Grand Protector, they all belonged to the Yiluansi system, and of course they were nominal.

"This is of great importance, I want to hear what you guys think." Dongmen blew flute said with a smile on his face.

The prime minister Wang Daozi snorted and said, "This is your Yiluansi business. As the head of the Grand Secretary, your opinions are the most important. You can talk about them first."

"I haven't thought about it yet." Dongmen's flute sighed, "This is really too difficult."

Everyone in the court couldn't help but look down on the head of the Yiluansi, and said that they hadn't thought about anything and did not find a new excuse.

"Three sirs." At this time, a middle-aged official took the lead and bowed, "When talking about this, I have a memorial here, which is the memorial of the Hei Shui Dadu. These two matters should be discussed together."

Some people in the court were all excited and a good show was about to be staged.

Foreign ministers who are qualified to report can use various channels to report to the mirror, which is not a violation of the rules.

Everyone recognized that the official who stood up was from the Academy, and the Academy made great efforts when Hua Feihua last time.

If there is a memorial, it is impossible to say that you don’t read it. The minor official quickly handed the memorial to Xiao Hui, the right prime minister of the three prime ministers.

Right Prime Minister Xiao Hui glanced at Chen Zheng. He picked up the memorial and read it, and then calmly said: "The Great Protector of Hei Water Zhou Fan participated in the Hanbei Province Master Hua Feihua, saying that he was levied heavily, and the tax revenue this year tripled, which made the public resentment..."

After Xiao Hui finished reading, another aristocratic family official soon left the list and said with a calm face: "The Hei Shui Dadu is talking nonsense, there is a reason why the Lord of Hanbei Dao did this..."

The official explained in detail that Hua Feihua did this to prepare funds for disaster relief, and that the money would be returned to the three states and one government in the future.

"This time, Zhou Fan disobeyed his orders and refused to obey the emperor, and he criticized the superiors and suggested severe punishment." The official of the aristocratic family said with a solemn expression.

"No." Officials from the academy faction stood up and questioned: "What is the matter that the Hei Shui Protectorate said in the memorial is not true? The tax revenue of the Hanbei Lord has tripled, and the Hei Shui Protectorate cannot collect taxes, which naturally makes the public resentment. Doing so will cause major trouble."

"It is OK to prepare for disaster relief, but where can we use such a forced tax method?"

"The Lord of Hanbei Province has its own way of doing things, and we can't control it. What we are now discussing is Zhou Fan's disobedience to obey..." The official of the aristocratic family retorted.

The officials of the aristocratic faction were debated with the academy faction officials, and they were verbal and quarrels, and they were so wonderful.

Officials of the Wild Fox Sect and the Big Buddha Temple faction were not informed in advance, so the officials of these two factions were just watching the show.

"The tax cannot be collected, this is a problem with his ability. All the three states of Hanbei Province have paid taxes..."

"The Hei Shui Protectorate is the poorest place in Hanbei Province. What's so strange about not being able to obtain it? I heard that the three states were full of complaints, but they just tried their best to support..."

"If you can't get the levy, you can't get it. How can you make a levy? "The official of the academy said passionately: "It is said that the Hei Shui Dadushi's hair was so worried about this..."

"You, his mother is farting. Zhou Fan is a bald man. Where did he get his hair?" Officials from the faction of the aristocratic family swear in anger.

"He has grown hair again, you can also control this?" the academy official retorted.

“…”

The debate was evolving towards the direction of a shrew scolding. Eunuch Long did not interfere and allowed the officials of the two factions to quarrel.

"Enough." The Zhongxiang Prince Daozi shouted in a deep voice.

The debate stopped now, obviously no one could convince anyone.

"Sir Dongmen, after hearing so many opinions from us, you should have some thoughts in your heart, right?" Ye Gaoshan said with a stern face.

Now that the academy and the aristocratic families are in stalemate, it’s all we can see what Yiluansi thinks.

Dongmen's flute was covered in fat shaking, but before he could speak, Chen Zheng said first: "I think there is a problem with this matter to be explained first."

"What's the problem?" Dongmen Feifei asked. The three phases refused to join in, but Dongmen Feifei was willing to cooperate. Anyway, it would be better if he didn't need to get involved. He wanted Chen Zheng to say that it would take three days and three nights.
