Chapter 119: The People's Revolt
Jingjiang Mansion City after so many years of round of expansion, the whole city is an irregular polygon, roughly leaning on a few rivers and repaired, as the center of the city, the old city built in the Tang Dynasty has now become an inner city, because the area is not large, in addition to the garrison, it is a variety of large and small officials.

Of course, Liu Yu's Jinglu pacification envoy is one of the largest, this building completely preserves the style of the pre-Tang Dynasty, low eaves and wide steps, simple and heavy, a majestic air blowing in the face. When Liu Yu stepped into it, what he thought in his heart was, who could have thought that this was the Ma Duguan who followed him, the place where he was buried in history.
Ma Ji was stared at by him a little inexplicably, and he couldn't detect anything, and it was difficult to ask, until he entered the hall, the officials of the Shuai Mansion lit up the hall, hung the oil lamps on the four walls and pillars, and placed the candlesticks on the table, which made these old soldiers think of the encounter in Yongzhou City again.
Liu Yu took off his cloak and handed it to his soldiers, walked up in his regular clothes, and stood behind the big case for a while, staring at the black crowd in the lobby, some of whom he promoted, and some of whom had different aspirations, at least on the surface, showing deference.
However, he believes that the victory under Hengshanzhai has made him at least establish the position of a leader in their hearts, and all he needs is this effect, whether it is convincing or convincing, as long as he obeys.
Liu Yu did not sit down, but pressed his hands on the big case, leaning forward slightly, further expressing a sense of oppression.
"Everyone, I might as well tell you frankly today, the Tartar army has gone south, Jinghu is the first to bear the brunt, we don't have much time, this official wants to save the people from fire and water, and never let them be abandoned under the iron hooves of the Tartars, for this reason, I will tell you a word."
Everyone in the hall stood intently, most of them had not yet come out of the joy of a victory, and suddenly they heard such news, but I don't know why, since following this young man, the fear of the Tartar has disappeared, and everyone is waiting for his words, what is the end.
"Guangxi Road, you can only speak with one voice, this is what this official wants to say to you."
Liu Yu stretched out his right hand and waved it in the air, a movement that was completely instinctive, because he thought that only in this way could he show his determination.
Silent!
Everyone in the hall was immersed in shock, even Jiang Cai, who had been with him for a long time, was no exception, as if he was about to tear the flag and rebel, but it was the main reason why they were shocked when this sentence came out of the mouth of a literati from Sanpin.
Lu Chen is just one of the prison departments, there is no provision that indicates that it can be above other institutions, whether it is the transfer envoy who is in charge of money, grain taxation and civil supervision, or the criminal department who is in charge of the whole road criminal prison litigation, or even the Changping Division who is responsible for warehousing and relief, they are all part of these prison departments, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, they all have the right to play, and even the state guards are the same, it can really say the same place, that is, the Jingjiang Mansion where Lu Zhi is located, because this prefect is sent by himself.
The purpose of the imperial court to do this, it is self-evident, is to prevent unauthorized power, the handsome minister is in charge of the military, the Cao Division is in charge of the civil, the Xian Department is in charge of the prison, and the Cang Division is in charge of the money and grain, which just divides the local authority, under such a structure, it is almost impossible for a Luchen to rebel, in fact, there are more than 300 years of the Song Dynasty, and this has indeed been done.
"What does Fu Shuai want me to do, you might as well make it clear." Ma Ji didn't hesitate, the people here actually respected him, and if Jiang Cai didn't say anything, he could only mention it.
"It's very simple, you are all the commanders of the states, you must be familiar with the situation of the states, this official wants you, take people back to your respective state capitals, and do only one thing, all this will start from Leizhou, and Leizhou can be all in Leizhou?"
Suddenly hearing his official position, Zhang Yingke raised his head in astonishment, and when the eyes of the surroundings fell on him, he came to his senses, quickly stepped forward, stood beside Ma Ji, and saluted with his fists.
"Xiaguan Leizhou is under the control of Zhang Yingke, see Fu Shuai."
"Zhang Dutong, how many people are registered in your state?" Liu Yu looked at this man who was not tall, but very athletic, and lowered his voice.
"If you go back to Fu Shuai, there are more than 200,000 people in Leizhou." Zhang Yingke didn't want to answer.
"Well, if you want to evacuate all these more than 200,000 people to Qiongzhou, how many people do you need and how many days will it take?"
Liu Yu's low words sounded like a thunder in Zhang Yingke's brain, and he was speechless for a while, he subconsciously raised his head to look at the person who spoke to him, his mouth was open, and he couldn't stop talking, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.
As soon as these words came out, the other people in the hall were not much better, even Jiang Cai looked back in amazement, and the surprise in his heart was undisguised.
"Fu Shuai said if, you just have to answer." Ma Ji secretly stabbed him, and Zhang Yingke came back to his senses.
"If so...... If according to Fu Shuai's words, if 200,000 people want to cross the sea and transfer to Qiongzhou, Xuwen County should be the best place, and it will only take an hour to cross the sea from there, but the main difficulty is not here, but how to move these people on the boat. ”
With the opening of his thoughts, Zhang Yingke also said more and more smoothly, left and right are just a hypothesis, Fu Shuai will listen to him and say it in vain.
"There are not many acres of land in Leizhou, and most of them are in the hands of large households, among the people, hired households who rent land for farming, and fishermen who go to the sea to make a living, as well as a large number of sugarcane fields, which are roughly these categories. I don't know what the big families think, to persuade the people to leave, I'm afraid it's not easy, uprooted and have no livelihood, anyone will weigh one or two, if the officers and soldiers are dispatched, forcibly drive away, and cause a civil uprising, I am afraid it is not what Fu Shuai wants. ”
In fact, the situation that Zhang Yingke said exists in all state capitals, and his words have basically been agreed by most people, the people of Guangxi Road are tough, which is the inevitable result of competing with nature for living space, but there is a situation that Liu Yu noticed, that is, most of the acres of land are in the hands of large households, which is formed after hundreds of years of annexation, which means that ordinary people can only be reduced to hired households, they are only land producers, not owners.
Why choose Leizhou first, the reason is also very simple, it is only a sea away from Qiongzhou, after the construction of Qiongzhou is carried out, the vast majority of people from the mainland are from Leizhou, or transferred to Leizhou, now is the agricultural season, there is a considerable salary to work, for the people is a very tempting thing, but it is not enough for them to move their families, this is the difficulty that Zhang Yingke said.
In Liu Yu's mind, the most valuable thing about the entire Guangxi Road is its population, land and property can be ignored, but the growth of population is the slowest, he can't wait to get it all at once, but he knows that it won't work, after all, this is not a later generation of migrant workers to enter the city.
Zhang Yingke's hesitation is expected, if he really agrees without hesitation, Liu Yu will doubt his intentions, it doesn't matter if there are difficulties, it is a positive signal, at least it shows that there is a feasible way.
At this time, the time and space of China is still in the clan society, the government can directly govern, only a small part including the city, the so-called "political power does not go to the countryside" is this meaning, the collection of grain and taxation out of the recruitment, all need to be discussed with the old gentry of the township, yes, it is a consultation, not that you can apportionment if you want to, I didn't think that the family is a retired minister, such as the Ninghai Ye family.
In fact, such a system lasted until the liberation of New China, but in the later generations of China has entered the 21st century, there are still stubborn clan forces in some remote mountainous areas, and their vitality can be imagined, force may be useful, but at this time it is more likely to cause chaos, if there is enough time, a vigorous class revolution is the best means to break it, but unfortunately there is no such condition.
What to do? Liu Yu in the hall was thinking, and the generals in the hall were also muttering, they were all martial artists without exception, but since they could sit in this position, how could there be no land in the family? Zhang Yingke is not a native of Leizhou, so he will have no scruples, which is also the main reason why Liu Yu ordered his general.
Why did this Fu Shuai do this? Tartar is still thousands of miles away, I am afraid that he has not even entered Jinghu North Road, if there is no reason at the moment, it is difficult to convince those literati, if there is no cooperation from the government, relying only on the army, the effect is likely to backfire, Jiang Cai hesitated for a moment, and hugged his fist at him.
"The governors of the states are all in the pavilion, do you want to discuss with them?"
"It's not time yet, this is a military operation, not a civil operation, the official is looking for them, there is another use, the news cannot be leaked for the time being, and the matter of Leizhou is imperative. Zhang Dutong, no matter what method you use, you must evacuate the people as much as possible, there will be a senator Zhang Qingyun under the official curtain to cooperate with you, if there is any problem, you will discuss and solve it, in short, it is necessary to be fast. ”
You can't blame Liu Yu for being anxious, Leizhou is the closest place to Qiongzhou, only if you move there first, can you pry other places to follow together, Guangxi Road is too big, and when the Tartars force Jinghu South Road, it may be too late, so he has to be fully prepared.
No matter what the people below think, Liu Yu has already warned them in advance, there can only be one voice on Guangxi Road, this voice is of course himself, the situation is stronger than people, these strong generals who have already learned him will naturally not raise any objections, Zhang Yingke's face is embarrassed, but he still agreed, and when they were taken out and placed behind the Fu Ya in the inner city, Jiang Cai couldn't hold it anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"How can Qiongzhou settle so many people?"
"This is the beginning, in the future, it will settle all the people of the entire Guangxi Road, otherwise why would this official go around to scavenge for food?"
Liu Yu's face is not easy, there are many things, even a small company with dozens of people is in trouble, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people, they are not NPCs after all, everyone has their own ideas, to pinch these hundreds of thousands of ideas together, it is a headache to think about it, but the biggest headache at the moment is how to make them move?
Jiang knew that he had made up his mind, and when he thought of the construction carried out in Qiongzhou, he suddenly had an awakening, which was probably counted as early as when he served as Qionghai's envoy, but at that time, the other party was clearly just a seven-grade official, and he didn't know where he was going, it sounded like a fantasy talk, and the problem became a fact!
"Your cavalry will be ready and ready to strike." Of course, Liu Yu didn't know that he had already thought a little wrong, and looked at the outside of the hall and gave an order, Jiang Cai didn't seem to have recovered from the shock, and blurted out a question.
"Where to go?"
"Tan Zhou."
As soon as Liu Yu's words fell, a figure hurriedly walked into the hall, but it was Ma Ji, the head of the Quan Bing and Ma Division, who had gone and returned, looking at his solemn face, Liu Yu was a little strange, what would happen in such a short period of time?
"Lingui County came to report, saying that there are hired households outside the city who have led the crowd to resist rent, and they have already died, and their official service is not enough to suppress the town.
Civil unrest? These two words popped up in Liu Yu's mind all of a sudden.
