Grandmaster Miao smiled. "Our Lord said that four to five hundred thousand taels of silver is enough, and 100,000 dans of grain is not a lot, right? Anze Province is such a big place, so we have to pay a lot of taxes every year. This is just a drop in the bucket, hahaha!"
Everyone was even angrier when they heard that.
Someone couldn't help but sneer. "Anze Province has only slowed down for the past two years. How can we have spare money? The Prefect wants so much at once. How can we pass?"
There was a murmur of agreement.
Constable Li said sarcastically, "How you live is your business. Since you have extra money, you have to pay a thousandth of a tael! Otherwise, you'll be going against the Imperial Court! Are you trying to rebel?!"
"Constable Li, be careful with your words. These words don't sound good! We've been like this all these years. This is also tacitly approved by the Imperial Court. I wonder which Imperial Court Constable Li is talking about!"
