Chapter 561: Asking

He Rende did not rush to answer Zhao Yu's question, but started with the root of the slang. The Great Song Dynasty www.biquge.info implemented a policy of restraint after the capture of Qiongzhou, but at the beginning, these slang tongs had to pay tribute, pay taxes, and accept conscription and service in the same way as the Han people, but the local officials who accepted the imperial court were exempt from taxes and forced labor. Over time, the chieftains discovered a loophole in their policy, exempting themselves from paying taxes and escaping forced labor as long as their land was entrusted to the local officials, and of course they would pay the proper tribute to the local officials.

The local officials were willing to accept this kind of thing that could control the slang of their subordinates and get benefits. The method they adopted was to let Ken attach himself to his slang tong out of the jurisdiction of the state and county and under their own jurisdiction, so as to evade the responsibility of leaving the state food poor. Therefore, they bribed the state and county officials to collude with each other, conceal the world, and tamper with the maps, so as to achieve their goals.

However, these local officials and state and county officials did not stop there, they turned the finger on some weak or unfriendly slang, and passed on the food and expenses of their escape to these people, who took on the service. And for those who still refused to give in, the local officials who were friendly with the state and county would 'report' to the imperial court, and the government would use this to urge the government to collect money. They cooperated so much that some slang tongs had to rely on the local officials, but some slang tongs could not bear the oppression and rose up to resist, causing chaos.

After the outbreak of the Great Song Dynasty and Jinmeng, they had no time to take care of Qiongzhou, and the prefectures and counties could not get the support of the official army, so they could only rely on the slang soldiers of the local officials to maintain the place, so that they had gradually become larger, and they often collected taxes from various slang in the name of the government, but kept them for their own use and no longer handed over to the imperial court. In this way, the transfer of contradictions made the relationship between the government and the slang people more tense, but the state and county were weak and helpless against those local officials.

However, no one is a fool, in the past, those who were attached to the local officials found that the government did not dare to provoke the slang people, and they felt that they had suffered a loss, obviously with their own strength, they did not have to pay taxes, so why should they pay tribute to those local officials, so they broke away from the local officials they had attached to and set up their own doors. However, the local officials were accustomed to eating their mouths, so how could they give up, claiming that the land was their own, and why did they let you occupy it in vain, so they sent troops to expel them in the name of the government, so the conflict between the two sides was inevitable.

The same was true of the cause of the Jiyang Army's rebellion, as the slang chieftain Fu Riping was originally attached to the local official Ma Yu, but later wanted to break away from his control, which led to a conflict between the two sides. In order to survive, they turned to the more powerful local official Fu Xiong for help, which made the contradiction between the two slang Tong escalate into a tribal conflict. And the government's intervention led to more slang involved, resulting in the so-called slang chaos.

He Rende was no stranger to this, he just adhered to the strategy formulated by His Majesty before - not allowing the prefecture and county to levy labor from the slang people, intervening in the slang dispute, and wanting to wait for their defeat before profiting from it. When Lu Xiufu heard about it, he sent an army to suppress it, ostensibly just to quickly quell the chaos. At a deeper level, he was dissatisfied with the little emperor's slang policy and tried to correct it.

However, Lu Xiufu did not dare to point fingers at the little emperor, so he could only attribute the blame to He Rende, saying that he 'divided the people of my ancestors' land, despised the local people, and used them for their own personal gains', which was actually a great treacherous and evil act, if it were not for Zhao Yu to get the news in time and ordered to stop his further actions, maybe He Rende would have been dismissed and imprisoned, even so it still caused an uproar in the middle of the dynasty, leading to the confrontation between the local and the central government......

"I didn't expect that there are so many things hidden in the seemingly small turmoil!" Zhao Yu touched his chin and said after hearing the truth of the matter. He realized that there were deep historical reasons why things had come to this point, and from the perspective of modern materialism, the outbreak of slang chaos seemed to be accidental, but in fact it was inevitable. The intervention of the imperial court only played a catalytic role.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, and now that the arrival of the imperial court and the arrival of a large number of Han people have immigrated to the island, the local officials and the various slang people are panicked. Fearing that the imperial court would encroach on their land and collect heavy taxes, they were like frightened birds when the wind blows. Jiang Ke nodded.

"Well, what Governor Jiang said is reasonable, the conflict between the slang and the Han has lasted for hundreds of years, the grudge is deep, the mutual distrust of each other, and it is reasonable to overreact." Zhao Yu agreed. He knew that with the inflow of the imperial court, the large-scale migration of the Han people would not only change the comparison of population numbers, but also the competition for limited resources and land, thus threatening the status and interests of the local officials. When they saw that the court wanted to meddle in their inter-clan affairs, they took it for granted that they were going to cut them off, and their common interests and ideas forced them to temporarily put aside their personal grievances.

"In His Majesty's words, the minister also thought that this slang rebellion was a breach of trust in the imperial court, and some of them provoked it to eventually cause chaos." He Rende looked at the little emperor in surprise when he heard this, he had already heard that His Majesty was small but extremely intelligent, but he didn't expect that he would be able to hear the key to the problem from his few words, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Your Majesty, if the matter of the slang is slowly planned according to Your Majesty's plan, the slang will be divided and disintegrated, and it will not take a few years for the slang people to submit to the court. Alas......" Jiang Ke also got up and said, but in the end, he shook his head and sighed.

"Two lovers sit down! The most important thing now is not to hold some people accountable, but how to quickly quell the chaos to prevent small losses from big ones. Zhao Yu pressed them down again, he understood the mood of the two very well at the moment, and his good plan was messed up by those people who didn't know what was going on, and to be honest, he was also very annoyed in his heart. But things have already happened, and getting angry won't solve anything.

"The minister is presumptuous, I don't know if I should say it or not?" After the two sat down and glanced at each other, Jiang Keting stepped forward and asked.

"Aiqing has something to say, although I am small, I am not an unreasonable person, as long as it is true, even if it is inappropriate, I will never blame!" Zhao Yu had been paying attention to the expressions of the two, and from their small movements, it had been seen that the two of them seemed to expect that they would ask them about the slang, and they had discussed it beforehand, at least they had communicated on the way to the palace. And both of them are losers who have experienced officialdom battles, so they naturally have to be cautious in their words, so they want to be at ease first.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Ke pondered for a moment and arched his hand, "The minister wants to know whether His Majesty wants to solve the chaos in one fell swoop through this matter, or still follow the meaning of the previous time?" ”

"Oh, is there a difference?" Zhao Yu looked at the two of them with a smile and said, since he was asking the two of them, of course he had to listen carefully and then make a decision......

Thank you for your concern. Nesting heart is by no means intentionally cut off or lost contact, but there is a real reason, first a brother who has been friends for more than 30 years died suddenly, and then an elder in the field suddenly fell ill and hurriedly went to visit, only returned yesterday. I was caught off guard by two unexpected events, and I was haggard, and I forgot to say to everyone, I'm really sorry!
