Moreover, just these days, after Huangzhou Prefecture had a change of officials, Wang Baobao finally learned about the current situation of Huangzhou Prefecture.
It could be said to be utterly disastrous.
Out of the eight counties in Huangzhou Prefecture, nearly all have encountered issues, and they're major ones at that.
In Huanggang County, the populace refused to pay taxes and clashed with government soldiers, involving nearly a thousand people, with over fifty soldiers killed. Tensions were high among the people of Huanggang County.
In Macheng, when the soldiers went to collect taxes, they reached a village only to find it completely deserted, transformed into a ghost village. When asked where the people went, they frankly replied that they had fled into the mountains to live as wild people. When soldiers asked, "Aren't you afraid of the ferocious tigers in the mountains?"
The answer was: "Tyranny is fiercer than a tiger!"
