Chapter 185: Infernal Affairs

When Cao Yi said these words in front of Yang Wei, she was actually assuring Yun Shu that their Cao family was loyal and patriotic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now that he has Yang Wei's endorsement, Yun Shu no longer goes around in circles: "The little nephew feels that the Liangyi and Ersheng Pavilion are the tumors of Yan Song!" They are constantly annexing land and monopolizing certain industries! This is fatal to the development of Yan Song! The commercial tax of Yan Song accounted for all the three or four layers of the hand, and the two taxes in summer and autumn accounted for the remaining fifty or sixty percent, as far as I know, the land of the family does not have to pay taxes, right?! ”

Yang Wei nodded and said: "The families of the Yan and Song Dynasty have many false titles and rewards, and most of them do not have to pay taxes, and although they open a school to teach and educate people, those who are promoted can be exempted from the two taxes in the family, and the poor families will contribute more!" ”

Yun Shu nodded, Yan Song was not against land annexation! In fact, the reason is very simple, the establishment of the Yan and Song dynasties was not completely like the mainstream dynasties in the past, which was established from the bottom up through peasant uprisings, but through unconventional means, it was established on a short-lived dynasty of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and went against the ordinary feudal dynasty.

The landlord class did not suffer a great blow from the war and still held a large amount of land, but the yeoman peasant class was not strengthened and was severely weakened in the war. In this way, the Yan Song Zhao clan had no choice but to compromise with the large number of feudal landlord forces accumulated since the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

The great clans were the representatives of these feudal landlord forces, and they had infiltrated the entire court. Therefore, as soon as Wang Anshi proposed the change, he was opposed by almost everyone. It's impossible for Zhao Zhen not to see all this!

He just wanted to fight these feudal landlords through Wang Anshi's changes, which shows that the official family hates the Liangyi and Ersheng Pavilion very much, and Yang Wei's holy decree is just a poison to paralyze them, and now it seems that the Cao family is also a chess piece planted by Zhao Zhen!

Yun Shu explained in detail to everyone present a series of disadvantages brought about by land annexation, Yang Wei was drenched in cold sweat after listening, Yun Shu finally concluded: "If it does not change, it is destined that this dynasty will have to wander in the class contradictions caused by land annexation for the rest of its life. ”

Everyone bowed their heads in contemplation and remained silent for a long time.

"Uprising!!" Yun Shu suddenly drank violently, startling Yang Wei, Cao Yi and the others.

"When people are pushed to the point of despair, there is often a major change, the original honest peasants, as long as they have land, they can survive as long as they have land, as long as they have land, they can support their families, and now they don't even have the land on which they last live.

Do you just wait to die? At this time, the originally simple peasants will instantly turn into flood beasts and spread to the entire Yan Song Dynasty! There is a strong enemy outside, and there is an uprising inside! The smoke is everywhere, and the mountains and rivers are broken! Yun Shu almost finished his sentence with an angry roar.

Yang Wei and Cao Yi have experienced war, and they know the horror of the peasant uprising, just like the originally industrious scalper, if they are provoked, they will launch an unprecedented charge. The two glanced at each other, each other's faces were already covered with sweat, and the two of them seemed to have been fished out of the water.

Cao Shi and Cao Lu looked at Yun Shu with dry lips, they had never seen Yun Shu so scary.

In fact, this was an outburst of Yun Shu, an outburst of infinite anger and fear that had accumulated in his chest.

Cao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Nephew Yunxian has seen it thoroughly, but we can't touch these big families at all!" ”

"I'm going to make them pay a heavy price! These moths, who say that they are a family that has not fallen for thousands of years, are actually sinners in history! It was the turbulent situation that began at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that created these shameful scum.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not hesitate to launch three expeditions to Goguryeo in order to eliminate them, but they were killed instead of destroying them, and the Li family of the Tang Dynasty was a member of the family, and they were the same as them, but Tang Taizong was clever and wanted to restrict them, and failed! Now that it's Yan Song, what do you say you should do?! ”

Everyone looked at Yun Shu in shock, the impact of his words was too strong, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were all lost in the hands of the Liangyi and Ersheng Pavilions? How is this possible! Seeing their surprised looks, Yun Shu knew that the seeds of fear had been planted, and he was waiting for them to discover the truth on their own.

The reason why Yun Shu dared to say this is because he has a large number of historical materials in later generations to prove this view, land annexation led to the destruction of the country, and the peasant uprising was the most fundamental cause.

Including the Ming Dynasty established by the cattle herding baby, Li Zicheng, as the leader of the peasant uprising, under the slogan of "equal land free grain" is not an accusation against land annexation? The phrase "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" in later generations summoned an army of millions.

Among all of them, only Cao Yi nodded lightly, he was erudite and intelligent. Otherwise, he would not be the head of a huge family like the Cao family. Through Yun Shu's description, he had already believed in the harm of land annexation and the purpose of the Liangyi and Ersheng Pavilions.

Those old families are constantly merging land and acquiring a large amount of land, dragging down one dynasty after another! Although he knew that he took over Cao Yi, he was even more worried, how could he suppress the Liangyi and Ersheng Pavilion?

Cao Yi knew that in fact, Yun Shu and the Cao family had not entered the core of the Two Yi and Two Holy Pavilions at all! It wasn't long before the Cao family joined on the orders of the official family, and Yun Shu was just a junior who fought the autumn wind, how could the Liangyi and Ersheng Pavilion let them enter the core high-level?

"What's a good way for Yun Xian's nephew? Our Cao family will definitely cooperate! Cao Yi's statement made Yun Shu a little surprised, I didn't expect them to defend the Yan Song Zhao clan so consciously?!

Cao Yi smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it, my Cao family's entry into the Liangyi and Ersheng Pavilion is an order from the official family!" ”

Seeing Yun Shu's expression, he said: "The official family has already discovered that they are unusual, but they don't know where they are, and now Yun Xian's nephew has solved my doubts, and I can finally show the official family, and Yang will command later." After saying that, Cao Yi went to the small room in the back.

Yun Shu had to admire Zhao Zhen's keen political sense, although he didn't know the conspiracy of the Liangyi and Ersheng Pavilion, but he could find many clues from history, he was an official of the Yan Song Dynasty, what historical materials he couldn't find?

After a while, Cao Yi took a small book and handed it to Yang Wei and said, "Commander Yang, the official has sorted out today's conversation, you go and hand it over to the official family quickly, how about Yun Xian's nephew stay in Cao's mansion tonight?" The first sentence is to send Yang Wei to the palace, and the latter sentence is to stay guests.

People like the Cao family generally don't keep guests, but there are obviously other things tonight, Yun Shu shook his head helplessly and looked at the Cao family brothers, and whispered to Cao Yi: "It's not that the little nephew is unwilling, it's really the family that is in charge of it!" Ling'er and Qian'er are still waiting for me to go back! ”

The corners of Cao Yi's mouth twitched and said, "Haha, since the virtuous nephew still has such an important matter, then my Cao family will not keep you." ”
