Chapter 483: The Knife That Kills Without Blood
These words were like a blow to the head to wake up the troubled Yelu Bufan, and he was busy and deeply, like a child who had done something wrong, bowing his head and listening to the teachings of his elders.
Yelu Yu didn't get angry when he saw this, but said leisurely: "It is indeed my shame to abandon Liao and invest in gold and then be captured and surrendered to Song, but these shames have also become the driving force for my renewal. Extraordinary, you don't know, the reason why Song Jiang is a clever chess player is not only because of his exquisite layout, but because of his heart, he has chess pieces in his heart. That is to say, he not only has the world in his heart, but also the people of the world. At the beginning, I was defeated and captured, and I was sent to Taiwan for reform, thinking that I would be a coolie for the rest of my life, but who knew that it was another world inside. Prisoners of war restricted their freedom of movement, and in addition to ideological education at night, they had the same food and lodging as the rest of the people, and they were paid for their work, and when the period of renovation was reached, they could settle down on local land and return home, saying that as long as they did not invade the Song Dynasty again, they would be friends forever. Imagine, did we Khitans treat prisoners of war like this? Has this ever been done to the captives? In addition, the Han, Khitan, Jurchen and other ethnic groups in Youzhou City live together, regardless of racial superiority and inferiority, all ethnic groups and Han enjoy the same rights and freedoms, in their words, all ethnic groups are united as a family. Just imagine, a person who regards foreigners as a family has a strong degree of care for the people of the world, and the world he has established in his mind must be a kingdom that has no one before and no one after him. ”
Yelu Bufan suddenly realized at this time, and once again said deeply: "It's not for my uncle's empowerment, the kid almost went astray, and I will definitely listen to my uncle's teachings in the future!" ”
Yelu Yu said: "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope, we can't separate each other, and only by acting according to the plan can we have a future." Song Gongming privately signed a peace agreement with Jin and opened a field, aiming to accumulate strength to extinguish Jin. Now that we have a foothold in Liaodong, we have completed the first step, and then we take the opportunity to send leather goods to the market to receive the second step of the detailed plan, everything is done in accordance with Song Gongming's deployment, and there is no mistake. ”
Lin'an City is like being put in the midst of a bloody storm, the officials are all in danger, everyone is afraid, and there is no other, all because of the emperor's iron-blooded changes.
At the beginning of the reform, although the officials had quite a few complaints, but there were few opponents, and then the interests of the scholars were endangered, the number of opponents in the letter increased dramatically, the war of words in the court intensified, and even blamed the emperor according to the rules of Taizu.
When the reform of the law was blocked, Long Yan was furious, and many officials who opposed the reform were released, those who were dismissed from their posts were dismissed, and those who were sent to prison were sent to prison. However, the flames of opposition turned into a raging fire, vowing not to stop burning the Jianyan court.
Zhao Gou was angry, he knew that the reason why the scholar class had no fear was because they had the Taizu oath in their hearts: they must not kill the scholar doctor and the person who wrote the book.
So he prescribed a dose of fierce medicine, abolished the Taizu oath tablet, and sent the people who accused the emperor in court or in a letter to be strictly investigated.
In an instant, Jianyan was surprisingly united, surprisingly quiet, and the changes were carried out in an orderly manner in a peaceful and peaceful manner.
Compared with the bloodshed of Lin'an City, the autonomous region is fragrant.
Song Jiang only laughed when he looked at the news sent by the intelligence department, Zhao Gou was afraid of dying slowly, and he dug his grave early!
Changing the name of Wang Anshi's masterpiece and pinching the head and removing the tail has become the Jianyan Reform, not to mention whether Wang Anshi's reform is suitable for this era, his bloody and radical approach will not only provoke the people to revolt, but also make the scholar class hold together, gather grievances and wait for the opportunity to fight back.
It will not be long before the Yan Imperial Court was built!
Winter goes to spring, the sun and the moon fly, and in a blink of an eye it is the spring planting season.
Fat first month, thin February, half-dead March and April, but for the people of Dingzhou this year, this folk proverb is a luxury.
Originally, all the descendants of Yan and Huang had a reunion complex in their minds, they had money and no money to go home for the New Year, they would rather be poor for a year than a day, and the family would have a reunion dinner in the first month. Then visit relatives and friends, bless each other, and greet each other. But even if you tighten your belt this year, you can't have a thin New Year, let alone a fat New Year in previous years, and the main reason is the new law.
In fact, it is clear to the discerning people that this kind of extreme poverty has nothing to do with the new law, but is caused by the deliberate distortion, confusion, and reversal of the content of the new law by officials of the Dingzhou government.
Under the guise of the new law, they set up clever names, and all kinds of unspeakable taxes were imposed on the people, and if they did not pay them within the time limit, they would sweep them into their homes, and it would be abnormal for the people to be abjectly poor.
No, it is just in time for the spring ploughing season, and there are no seeds in the field, and in previous years, in this case, the people could borrow seeds from large households. However, this year is different, the new law stipulates that the government shall manage the loan in a unified manner, and the private sector shall not borrow money, otherwise it will be punished as violating the new law.
The people don't care who is in charge of borrowing, as long as they can borrow seeds, and the interest rate advertised by the government is half lower than that of large households, so why not do it. So the people rushed to the government office to borrow money, but came back empty-handed.
It turned out that the government was tired of playing cats, saying that the emperor was magnanimous, borrowing money for the people at low interest, and stipulating that each person would borrow at least thirty taels of silver, but it was Jiaozi who got it. Read good books
Now the people are gone, what we want is seeds, you give Jiaozi and let us buy seeds, which is understandable, but if you take a loan to Jiaozi, you must repay the silver, which is not to say.
An ordinary family only wants food and clothing, and does not need so much silver at all, in a word, more loans is more interest, who wants to put money at home useless, but also pay interest to the government; Second, the price of Jiaozi shopping is higher than that of silver, which means that Jiaozi is a depreciating currency, and it is similar to an increase of 20% interest in your hand...... Where is this emperor's grace, this is clearly disguised exploitation.
As a result, the people vigorously resisted the antibodies produced by this mighty imperial grace, ignored them, and privately borrowed money from large households.
When the government saw this, it enforced it, and forced the fingerprints on the heads of the people, whether it was a commoner or a wealthy household, they had to enforce the new law, and in case of resistance...... Hmph, after a meal of flesh and skin, the bloody handprints went to the loan paperwork.
The emperor's grace is like rain and dew, and he has to be touched.
In Dingzhou, people's resistance to the new law has reached the point of anger and resentment.
However, it was said that on this day, the people of Wuling County, Dingzhou, gathered at the gate of the county yamen to denounce the malicious price increase of unscrupulous seed vendors. It's been a few days, and the government just intervened a few words without pain, and the vendors immediately hung up the seeds and ran out, and the signs that stopped selling today will be hung up again in a few days, and the prices will be higher.
Today, the crowd was full of noise, and the angry crowd rushed away from the guards and rushed into the county government to ask for an explanation from Tang Yang, the official of his parents.
How could Tang Yang force the vendors to lower the price, there were commissions from himself and many officials in the county government, so he performed indignantly, but the people were immune to this kind of painless prevarication, and resolutely asked the parents to go to the vendors in person, and there was a tendency to kidnap Tang Yang to go to the shop.
Tang Yang was furious, and with an order, the officials and officers rushed into the crowd, adding sticks and sticks, blood flowed all over the ground, and countless wounded were killed.
However, after this incident, the people found that the price of seeds was rising day by day, and they no longer bought seeds for fear of planting, but bought seeds at sky-high prices. As a result, many people bought seeds with tears, and finally found that most of the money borrowed by the government had been used.
Oh, my God!
This is the knife that kills without seeing blood!
What a painful realization!
But after understanding, in addition to the hatred buried in his heart, he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, swallowing his anger, and helplessly living in the world.
It was night, the moon was dusk and the stars were sparse, and the sky above Wuling County was like a patient with a disordered vegetative nerve, infecting the whole earth without the slightest spirit, and sleeping in a muddy nightmare.
Just when Zichou handed over, the shouting and killing finally woke up the sleeping people, and some bold people trembled and put on the roof to look at it, and couldn't help but be terrified.
I saw that the streets of the entire county town were full of firelight, and various sounds such as shouts and killings, howls, cries, and horses' hooves were mixed together, as terrifying as purgatory in the netherworld.
The people who were not affected quickly put on their clothes, closed the door and turned off the lights, and prayed in horror in their houses that the disaster would not affect their families.
Tang Yang, the magistrate of the county, was furious when he heard that there were thieves who looted grain and rice at night, and personally led 500 officers and soldiers to suppress it. Tang Zhixian also said that it was the chaotic people who grabbed the seeds, and rushed to make a big contribution, but it was not until he intersected with the former soldiers that he realized that something was wrong.
These thieves were not at all afraid to engage the officers and soldiers, their arrows were accurate, they were well-equipped, and they combined frontal attacks with flank outflanking, and they fought with good results. These are the people, clearly trained bandits.
The two sides fought for less than a cup of tea, and the officers and soldiers were defeated, Tang Yang was already frightened, and when he saw this scene, he turned around and ran away with his cronies, and the officers and soldiers were defeated.
