'A person gets the way and the chicken dog ascends to heaven', this is an eternal tradition in China, the family has a big official, and the relatives naturally have to stick to it, not to mention the emperor, so all the relatives are happy. According to the regulations www.biquge.info of the Great Song Dynasty, the dowry of the clan's daughters, the clan's money, the orphan's money, and the dowry of the clan's daughters were the main forms of the clan's supply, providing a safe life guarantee for the clan, but of course these expenses were mainly borne by the local government. Thus, almost from the very beginning, the huge burden imposed by the large clan caused the magistrates to complain.

Because the children of the clan are generally conferred official titles after birth, most clan families rely on the official income of family members to make a living, and those close relatives who are not officials can rely on orphans to distribute "orphaned money and rice" to live. After the southern crossing, the clan began to move out, and Quanzhou, a rich place, had a stable foreign trade income as a financial guarantee, and of course it became the first choice for relocation, so more than 300 people came here to eat white food.

The living allowance program for the royal family of the clan is to live outside Quanzhou, and for those aged ten and above, the monthly subsidy is two yuan and one stone of rice; For those aged five and below, the monthly income is always half a stone of rice. The elderly who live in Quanzhou City have 13 yuan and 1 stone of rice per month, those over 20 years old have 9 yuan and 7 buckets of rice per month, those over 10 years old have 5 yuan and 4 buckets of rice per month, and those over 5 years old have consistent money and 4 buckets of rice per month. If someone's daughter marries, there will also be a rich dowry. If he is unmarried for life, he (her) will be supported for the rest of his or her life. Free housing is also available.

At first, there seemed to be not many people, but the stable life made the man-making movement in full swing, the population was doubled, and the expenses also rose with the tide, so that the annual expenditure of Quanzhou was as high as tens of thousands of yuan for the price of money and rice issued to the royal family of Quanzhou; In addition, their annual official subsidies and book fees also had to be paid by Quanzhou, so that Quanzhou's regular tax income could barely meet the normal expenses, and it was not enough to support the members of the clan, so they could only report to the central government for subsidies. Whatever the reason, the conclusion is nothing more than this: it takes a lot of money to maintain the life of the members of the clan.

All in all, the expenses of the clan have become a huge burden on Quanzhou, and with the expansion of the number of clansmen, the burden will become more and more great. However, at first, Quanzhou had a good income, and it was not a problem to maintain the expenses of the clan. However, due to the encroachment of powerful landlords, the reduction of tax sources, and the decline of trade, this fee became more and more heavy, and the Quanzhou government had no choice but to eat grain and levy taxes in advance for one or two years, which aroused the people's complaints. And the clan relied on their nobility and arrogance, acting arrogantly, and having no one in their eyes, which also separated their relationship with the elite society in Quanzhou.

By the time of the Song, Yuan, and Ding Revolutions, the royal family of the Song Dynasty fled all the way south and moved to Quanzhou, while all the clan members could receive money or subsidies from the local government, which further intensified the conflict. And although Pu Shougeng was powerful in Quanzhou, it was impossible for him to order the army to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty alone, let alone carry out a massacre alone. And who would have thought that the fate of the clan and Quanzhou would go through one hundred and fifty years together, but in the end the clan would become a wart, and the vast majority of local elites unanimously supported Pu Shougeng to get rid of it......

'Redundant soldiers, redundant officials, and redundant expenses' is a stubborn disease of the Great Song Dynasty, and redundant expenses refer to the huge expenses of the clan, so in a sense, Pu Shougeng's massacre of the royal clan of the Great Song Dynasty has indeed made outstanding contributions to solving the problem of 'three redundancies', and it can even be comparable to the Jurchens of the year, and it is not a bad thing for the current emperor Zhao Yu, because these people are indeed a huge burden for anyone. But even if he appreciates it in his heart, he can't tolerate it under his hands, after all, the family revenge is not avenged, who will believe that you still have the will to restore the country!

When Sun Shengfu summoned a group of melon-eating soldiers on standby and rushed into Yacheng to save people, the third round of rockets came as scheduled, and once again carried out an 'air attack' on Yacheng, which was almost in ruins. Pu Shougeng, who had suffered hardship, refused to hide in the house, regardless of the pain and ran to the street with the support of Sun Shengfu, which was much clearer than the 'immersive', only to see the rockets flashing in the air like falling meteors, piercing into their respective targets, followed by a brilliant flash of fire, a loud noise, and then the house collapsed, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

"The little emperor is really too cruel, he actually disregarded the lives of the people in the city, and used this weapon to attack the city and harm the living beings!" Of course, Pu Shougeng would not sing praises for the enemy, and said angrily as he looked at the affected houses. But in my heart, I feel that this is ...... It's spectacular! He even thought that if this was not for himself, he was willing to spend a lot of money to invite the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty to perform a special rocket launch performance, so that he could enjoy it.

"The governor is sympathetic to the suffering of the people, but he still needs to take care of himself, the enemy army is starting to attack the city, it is better to withdraw to the palace first and then discuss!" The soldiers who attacked Yacheng to save people saw that none of them ran out, and the north city was also full of smoke and dust, and the city tower was actually destroyed and dumped by the Song army, Sun Shengfu secretly pinched a cold sweat, the first round of attacks of the Song army was so sharp, so that he couldn't help but shudder, and urgently persuaded his master to avoid it quickly!

In line with the principle of listening to people's persuasion to eat a full meal, Pu Shougeng hurriedly returned to the mansion in a sedan chair that he didn't know where his subordinates found, and after entering the mansion, he urgently ordered the door of the mansion to be closed, and while sending people to inquire about the news, he asked people to find out if there were any survivors who escaped from the yacheng. Then I can take care of undressing and healing. After all, it has been through the wind and waves for a long time, and at this moment he gradually calmed down from the initial panic, the previous Song army of tens of thousands of people failed to break the city for three months, and this time it was impossible to fight down, but he was just plotted.

After a while, the prefect Tian Zhenzi and Dutong Xia Jing also came over in disgrace, and after waiting for a while, Lin Chunzi, Yan Bolu and other officials also came to the door, and everyone escaped death and scolded Song Jun at the same time, but also secretly sighed that it was lucky, if it weren't for the old houses they lived in were all made of stones, I am afraid they would have been smashed inside. After waiting for a while, the searcher came to report that You Yongxian and Jin Yong were killed, and the hundred slaves suffered many wounds, but this tartar was also fierce, and after being wounded, he went to Beicheng to supervise the battle.

After that, some escaped petty officials arrived, and Pufu became the temporary city defense headquarters of Quanzhou City. Pu Shougeng ordered Xia Jing to mobilize troops to rush to Beicheng for reinforcements, and Tian Zhenzi led people to appease the people, mobilized volunteers to deliver supplies, repaired the city defense, and sent people to collect the corpses of two henchmen. After receiving the report that the defenders of the northern city had repelled the Song army that was preparing to cross the trench after a hard battle, Pu Shougeng had just breathed a sigh of relief, and someone reported that a large number of Song warships were found outside the southern city......
