Chapter four hundred and sixty-ninth the rich and the poor (below)
Li Jilong looked at the vast mountains and hills.
Spring has arrived. Although spring came a little late, the air is mixed with the tide of the east, and the earth gradually recovers, the rivers melt, the water is gurgling, and there is another layer of green feeling that is filled with the fields and spreads to the ends of the world.
Unwillingness flashed in Li Jilong's eyes.
In some aspects, he still agreed with Song Jiu's method, that is, a shallow attack, using the border advantages, attack if he can attack, and return quickly if he cannot attack. He can win, but the possibility of defeat is very small. In fact, this plan is still a shallow attack tactic, but the most radical shallow attack tactic. He retreats in one battle.
Use it to consume the enemy's financial and material resources.
It was useful, and nearly ten powerful cities of the enemy were destroyed one by one. The people behind the mountain and in front of the mountain were captured to the Song Dynasty, but this tactic was slow to work and hurt others and oneself. If it weren't for this wind, I believe that the Liao Kingdom would not have felt good even though it was painful.
Therefore, he had an idea that spring was coming, which was conducive to the battle of the Song army and obtained accurate information in the front. The Liao Kingdom was trapped in the depths of Liaodong and was not allowed to move, so he could send a cavalry to the ruined Youzhou. Then he crossed Yanshan and went straight to the Liao Kingdom Zhongjing! What's going on in the capital is too far and there are many variables, so I won't mention it, but Zhongjing is OK. That would make it even more meaningful.
Moreover, if the Song army followed behind, the Liao army would be distracted and might be able to save the Bohai Kingdom.
But……
It’s easy to deal with when the money is gone, so everyone can squeeze it. At least it is better than the military use of the Han Wu Emperor, who is a powerful military force. After this, it will be returned to defend, and the cost will be reduced, and the summer tax will be raised soon.
But these two people are rich and poor in Sichuan... they can't continue fighting.
He said angrily: "Traitor!"
Song Jiu also cursed: "Do you should be punished."
He remembered a little about this. In history, Zhao Kuangyi was using the Liao Kingdom to recuperate and rejuvenate. He decided to gather the national strength to suppress the Li Jiqian Rebellion in one fell swoop. But Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun came. As a result, they met with the local tyrants and evil gentry they killed in Jiuquan. Li Jiqian sat in the northwest and laughed happily. During this toss, Zhao Kuangyi saw the difficulties of the country. He could not refuse the people for the sake of war, so Zhao Kuangyi had to ask Xiao Yanyan for peace. Xiao Yanyan naturally disagreed and did not agree that Hebei and Hedong would station troops to defend, and Sichuan would suppress the chaos, so Li Jiqian was really happy.
Keep coming now.
Just when the court used troops to the Liao Kingdom, the two guys rebelled.
Without this rebellion, wouldn’t we be able to do a lot more?
...
Song Jiu's thoughts were a little extreme at this time.
But what most people say about Wang and Li rebellion is not correct.
Wang Xiaobo was a tea merchant, and the Song Dynasty banned private tea. Then he had to rebel. He was a small and medium-sized tea merchant, and he was desperate. What if he didn't rebel? First of all, he didn't even understand tea. The so-called tea refers to the government monopolizing the tea trade, buying tea from the tea mountain, and then selling it to various tea merchants through various forms, including buying puffs, and selling it to various tea merchants. What the court did later on was China Telecom Mobile's work, and the interests of tea merchants would be damaged. But if it was more flexible, he could still participate in various forms. Even because of too many loopholes, the Song Dynasty finally implemented the trade law. The real victim was not Wang Xiaobo, but consumers. There were also salt. For example, a bucket of salt in the early Tang Dynasty only cost more than a dozen cents, but the Song Dynasty became a pound of dozens of cents.
Is it necessary to rebel because of the monopoly of state enterprises? That, haha...
Furthermore, the Xichuan drought last year, and the natural disasters were quite a headache in ancient times. After all, it was just a little productive. However, to be fair, the Song Dynasty should have done a good job in disaster relief. If we had to rebel because of disasters? Then China is so big that there was no disaster that year, and it would be great if there was a disaster!
Both are nonsense reasons.
Rebellion is justified, and even Wang Xiaobo himself has no reason to rebel!
However, this rebellion was justified. It was not Wang Xiaobo himself, but the people of Bashu.
The first one is his resentment towards the Song Dynasty. The things Wang Quanbin did when he entered Shu were too unauthorized, and the resentment of the people of Bashu has not diminished to this day.
It's time to settle the accounts after autumn.
The second one is this Qi people.
Not to mention that the Song Dynasty did not do well, even a lord like Song Huizong Song Gaozong had never really ignored internal governance.
Not to mention Zhao Kuangyi.
The ancestors' family rules account for at least 60% of the ancestral law, while the ancestors only account for 40%.
Although Zhao Kuangyi built many temples and pagodas because of his guilt. Although Zhao Kuangyi had not done many aspects due to the limitations of the times, although he did not understand military affairs, he had failed in two northern expeditions. Although he shamelessly ascended the throne, even Song Jiu could not be picky about internal governance.
But Sichuan... it was a dark place, a place where the sun could not shine.
In other parts of the Song Dynasty, people in Qi were implemented, regardless of whether it was true or false. When a case was concluded, Zhao Kuangyi took the initiative to favor vulnerable groups. The imperial examinations gradually favored poor children, and often lenient taxes were exempted from poor people. Tenants did not pay taxes. Regardless of whether they could be implemented or not, they did, but Sichuan did not get the preferential treatment of these policies.
That starts with the Tang Dynasty's division system.
The division system cannot be compared with slavery. It is a little looser than the slavery system, but it is definitely more harsh than the master tenant system initiated by the Song Dynasty. However, it is very vague. The owner is better, and even the leader is better than the main household is better than the tenant household. Just like the family members, if they are tighter, they will be more strict than slavery.
Of course, the tenant farming system is not that perfect, but the Song Dynasty gave tenant farmers the right to move. As long as the cultivated land is not so tense and not so serious, the tenant farmers will definitely have more vitality than the division.
After Wang Quanbin entered Sichuan, the Sichuan riots were damaged not only the future rule of the Song Dynasty, but also the major households. So the main households cooperated with the court to suppress the military and civilian uprising. In the end, Sichuan was pacified. As a hero, the court needed them to cooperate in the governance. Do they need those mobs to rule this land? So Sichuan stood in the southwest as a special existence.
The problem arose. The system was a backward corps system. The court gave them privileges. When the pacification was put, it began to seriously merge and treated the common people harshly. After Song Jiu came back, he reflected on the seriousness of this problem.
Zhao Kuangyin had Zhao Kuangyin's consideration, and it was best to be quiet and indifferent, and not want to do anything more. The country, Jiangnan, Guangnan and Hedong had not been taken back. After the withdrawal, it had to fight fiercely with the Khitans. Therefore, some good officials were sent to adjust the conflicts of various classes, but they still tied these main households. As more people, they were not called tenants, but called the side households. In fact, these side households were not treated as those of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyin considered the overall situation, but the hidden dangers remained and became more and more serious.
Song Jiu told Zhao Chengzong that if you want cheap labor, go and invite the other households to come.
This gave Wang Xiaobo the basis for the uprising.
The story begins.
The court filed tea in Bashu, and then set up a bribe business. What is a bribe business? It means monopolizing the trade of cloth. Why do we do this? Bashu is far away from the capital. The grain cannot be used to pay taxes, so the people are allowed to use cloth to pay taxes, saving transportation costs. This leads to high prices of cloth, and even the phenomenon of backflow of cloth in Jinghu. Therefore, the court set up a bribe business for regulation, mainly for the convenience of the people.
The starting point is good, but everything has its pros and cons. This kind of monopoly trade can also be entered by private individuals, but the more powerful and powerful it is, the easier it is to enter. It is originally dark, and these powerful people are even more shameless, speculating and slapping people, and using everything they can. This has led to many farmers losing their family business and land, and small and medium-sized vendors also losing their jobs one after another. They cannot resent the court, as the court knows it and hate it.
However, over the years in Sichuan, the circle of interests of the powerful and powerful has been formed. Who dares to move? Zhao Kuangyi did not dare to move, and Song Jiu did not dare to move. Even the good official Xin Zhongfu did not dare to move. He could only fine-tune to reduce the intensification of contradictions. In fact, no matter how the court did it, it turned into a tool for these local tyrants and evil gentry to exploit the people.
So Song Jiu longed for Wang Xiaobo to revolt, but he hated only the time when the uprising came.
The conflicts are getting more and more intense. It happened that last year, Bashu drought severely. Wang Xiaobo and his wife Li Shun were under the ills of my illness and wealth. Now they launched an uprising under the banner of Ru Junzhi. They soon conquered Qingcheng County and then moved to Pengshan. The magistrate of Pengshan Qi Yuanzhen was greedy and violent, and the court also attached importance to inspecting officials, but they asked Qi Yuanzhen to use a strategy to conceal the governor's envoy sent by the court. The people of Pengshan hated this person very much.
Wang Xiaobo successfully captured Pengshan and executed Qi Yuanzhen. Here he picked the fruits of victory. Therefore, he received the support of the majority of neighbors and quickly developed into a rebel army of more than 10,000 people.
Then the two of them turned to Qiongzhou and Shuzhou.
There are wins and losses, but at that time, no one took it seriously.
Besides, everyone looks at the wind blowing on the border together.
But ten thousand people will be dealt with by Sichuan officials themselves.
At the end of last year, Zhang Qi brought the official army to suppress it, and the two armies fought in Jiangyuan. Zhang Qi shot Wang Xiaobo with a cold arrow, but Wang Xiaobo still fought fiercely, defeated the officers and soldiers, and killed Zhang Qi. The rebel army occupied Jiangyuan, and Wang Xiaobo died of an arrow injury, and the rebel army elected Li Shun as the leader.
Starting from the first month of the year, the people from the north migrated safely to Hebei, Henan, Jingdong and other areas for resettlement.
The wind stopped.
Maybe Xiao Yanyan will take revenge, but may not be able to take revenge for the time being. This wind made the Khitan too miserable. Even if she wanted to take revenge, it depends on whether the Liao Kingdom had the ability.
But in revenge, her army was still trapped in the quagmire of Liaodong and did not distribute it.
Zhao Kuangyi was very proud to give a banquet for his ministers during the Imperial Tower on the Shangyuan Festival and said to Lu Mengzheng: "The wars in the Jin and Han dynasties were in chaos, and the creatures were in danger. At that time, I said that there was no peace again. I looked at the common affairs and thought of the heavens' blessings, which led to this prosperity. I knew that the chaos lies with people."
Lu Mengzheng avoided the seat and said, "Where the carriage is located, the scholars and commoners will gather together, and of course they are so prosperous. However, I have seen that there are many people who die from hunger and cold outside the capital, which may not be the case. I hope that Your Majesty will look close and far away, and it is a blessing for the people."
Zhao Kuangyi swallowed.
The Secretariat selected the person, and Lu Mengzheng presented his name to Zhao Kuangyi, but Zhao Kuangyi refused. A few days later, Lu Mengzheng came to this person again, asked three questions, and Zhao Kuangyi was angry and threw himself into the letter to the ground and said, "Why are you too stingy!"
Lu Mengzheng said, "I am not slandering, but Your Majesty has not forgiven you."
He also said: "There is someone who can be used, but the rest of the people are not enough. I do not want to use the charm of the Tao and follow others' ideas to harm state affairs."
The same column was silent. Lu Meng was holding up the tooth tablet, picked up the book and slowly lowered it.
Zhao Kuangyi finally became timid and said, "It's my pride, I'm not as good as me."
So he agreed with the person chosen by Lu Mengzheng.
There are two backgrounds for this matter.
The first time Lu Meng was in charge of the situation was that Zhao Kuangyi regretted that he was not in charge of the business. This time, Lu Meng was forced to manage the business.
Secondly, some disasters occurred one after another. Although the court's economy was better than in history, the wind was blowing harder and the money was even more powerful. In order to make the wind blow smoothly, the court's taxes became tighter. It cannot be said that Song Jiu was wrong. It was right to succeed. The Liao Kingdom had many harms. Everyone knows that the people were indeed implicated. The matter has not yet been completed. Fortresses were built on the front line, especially the Zijing Pass, Lingqiu County Town, and Pingxing Pass, which were at the forefront, not only had to be repaired, but also had to be strong and tall, so that they could resist the future attacks that the Liao Kingdom might launch.
Although the Song Dynasty had some chances in this battle, the biggest harm to the Khitan was the destruction of cities and the migration of a large number of people, the Jurchens were the ones who actually killed a large number of Khitan soldiers, but many soldiers died in the Song army.
Those who have made merits should be rewarded, and those who have sacrificed should be given pensions.
Keep spending money.
In the past two years, more than 50,000 households in Yanyun have been migrated one after another, and nearly 300,000 people have not been truly settled. Song Jiu has built a bright future for them. Do you need money to settle?
Let’s not talk about the mess in Sichuan.
Something big happened in Sichuan.
Originally, Xu Xiang knew that Chengdu Prefecture was doing well, but after he came back, he vaguely saw the crisis in Sichuan and said, "Although Shu is safe, the court must choose the loyal and honest officials to go to polite the politicians."
Zhao Kuangyi did not pay much attention and asked Wu Yuanzai to learn Chengdu on behalf of Xu Xiang. Wu Yuanzai used the law to investigate and even minor crimes should be severely punished. This does not matter. Zhuge Liang was also strict with the rule of Sichuan. However, the environment between the two was different. Originally, Bashu was accumulating conflicts. Wu Yuanzai used the law to govern the people, which made the people even more resentful. Therefore, Wang Xiaobo rebelled and Yuanzai could not be arrested and destroyed. The court used Guo Zai instead of Yuanzai.
When Guo Zai arrived in Zizhou, someone told him that Chengdu would fall, and the Duke should suffer disaster when he went there, so he would stay for a few days to avoid it.
The other person had good intentions, but Guo Zai was angry and said, "The emperor ordered my subordinates to delay the situation in crisis!"
So he arrived in Chengdu without stopping, and there was an official in Chengdu, a famous minister Fan Zhigu.
Although Chen Shu was cheated by him, Fan Zhigu was still good. If every official of the Song Dynasty looked like Fan Zhigu, then the Song Dynasty could have achieved four modernizations in advance.
However, the situation in Sichuan will not work if anyone comes to it!
Guo Zai is very brave, Fan Zhigu is not bad either, but who does Li Shun know?
First, Li Shun led the crowd to attack Chengdu, burned Xiguomen, which was unfavorable, retreated and turned to attack Hanzhou Pengzhou. The number of this escaped army increased sharply. With more people, the strength became greater, and it turned into nearly 100,000 troops and attacked Chengdu again. Guo Zai was outnumbered and broke out with Fan Zhigu and fled to Zizhou.
Soon Guo Zai died in battle, Fan Zhigu was frightened by this and died soon after.
Li Shun occupied Chengdu and called himself the King of Great Shu. He continued to "equalize the rich and poor", killed the local tyrants, divided the land, and gathered 300,000 troops in a short time.
