readx; There is a thin bamboo net at the water outlet, so it blocks the possibility of those koi running downstream, and at the same time creates a very rich bait for the koi here, plus there is no trace here, it has become the favorite place for the koi to stay, of course, when the eunuch throws food, it is naturally not within the statistical range of this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yun Zheng became a little impatient after catching a few fish, and pulled the bamboo nets off the fence, and the group of koi released by the road immediately swam downstream with the stream.

The monkey, who has always been very discerning, immediately put down the spices he had just brought, and ran downstream with the bamboo net, and found a narrow place to put the bamboo net down again, no matter what, he could not let the food run away in vain.

The cow was killing and grilling the fish, and the monkey was throwing a rice bowl into the water, leaving these delicious fat fish in this damn monk's place no matter what.

Yun Zheng was studying the railings on the waterway, these railings were very thick, as thick as his own arms, and the two ends were inlaid in the boulders on the city wall, and he kicked them and found that the inlays were very strong.

Because it has been in the water for a long time, a thick layer of patina has grown on the top of the railing, and this thing is actually made of copper.

Sitting outside the waterway and looking into the imperial garden, he looked very seriously, as if he was stealing incense and jade, at least the guards on the wall thought so.

I didn't see the emperor's big and small wives, Yun Zheng is still a little regretful, it is said that the women here are carefully selected from all over the Great Song Dynasty, the quality is very high, Yun Zheng has always been interested in studying the emperor's harem.

Yun Luoluo soon summoned the whole family, and the family sat around a beautiful table and ate beautiful fish, and their mood suddenly improved a lot, even though they had just eaten. This still did not prevent Ge Qiuyan from eating two slaps of fat fish alone.

Yun Zheng took the grilled fish sent by Han Niu, always felt that something was missing, looked up at the guard standing on the high wall and shouted, "Throw the wine down for me!" ”

It is an iron rule that palace guards are not allowed to drink alcohol while on duty, but such iron rules are there, but they have never been seriously enforced. As long as nothing happens, drink some wine at night to refresh yourself, even if Chen Lin sees it, she won't say anything.

Of course, if something happens while you're on duty, then the drinker will naturally become a scapegoat.

Knowing that there was such a danger, how could they stop the people of the Great Song Dynasty who loved alcohol, so soon a black and shiny wine gourd was hung down by the guards with a rope.

Yun Zheng took a sip of wine and frowned, "What a broken wine." Tomorrow I will go to the Yun family to find a housekeeper to pour wine, and if you have the ability to bring in the grapes, you will prepare a little bit for me every day, and the extra will be cheaper for you. ”

The guards hurriedly thanked them, they were the guards of the palace, not the guards of the prison, although they were very familiar with the guards of the prison, they were not under the command of a chief. So the prison ban is not enough for them.

Yun Zheng lives in the prison, and these guards know about it. It didn't say that General Yun was a criminal official, and it didn't look like a criminal official, and this place never held any criminal officials, if the people who lived here were criminal officials, then what were the first emperors of the previous dynasties.

The guards knew the rules of the palace better than the officials, and it was definitely not a punishment for Yun Zheng to live in the place where the first emperor lived. Rather, it should be a reward, a supreme reward.

Yunhou didn't want to do anything else by himself, he just asked to get some wine back, this is not a big deal, and they naturally know the rules of vegetarianism in the prison.

The old and young of the Yun family happily ate a meal of grilled fish. went back to the hut, Yun Zheng had a lot of secret music to watch, and Lu Qingqing thought that he must also take advantage of the opportunity when the whole family was in the prison to educate his children, including Ge Qiuyan.

The infiltration of the Great Song Dynasty spy into the Liao State exceeded Yun Zheng's expectations, and the news mentioned in these secret recitals is indeed shocking, in just four years, the Liao State court has collapsed to such a point.

The Liao Empire was now in disarray, and the northern tribes were declaring their independence one after another, including the Heishui Jurchens and Goryeo, who not only refused to participate in the Liao Chunnai, but also formed alliances with each other.

The refusal of the Heishui Jurchens and Goryeo to pay tribute could not be blamed on others, and the taxes of the Liao Empire were excessively excessive at that time. For Jeluhonki believed in the doctrine that the weary people would not be able to shake the rule of the kingdom, and that they should be taxed heavily in order to make them tired.

The Liao Empire's ruling power over Liaodong was actually very weak, and they did not regard the residents there as their own people, but simply regarded the white mountains and black waters as tax collection areas.

Yun Zheng has always been very strange, the Khitans are obviously closer to those Jurchens in terms of bloodline or habits, but it is precisely these people who they exploit with heavy hands, and those Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun enjoy far higher treatment than those barbarians.

As early as fifty years ago, the tax contribution of the northern Heishui tribe to the empire exceeded that of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and the population of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was twenty times that of the population of Liaodong.

Eventually, a Jurchen civilian leader, Ugunai, formed a local militia and drove out a group of Khitan tax collectors, followed by the second and third groups.

The Liao Empire was furious and issued an order to the tribal leaders of Liaodong to assist in tax collection. Those tribal leaders, in fact, were just some of the larger tribal leaders, who had long been dissatisfied with the heavy tax policy, and they perfunctorily perfunctory envoys of the Liao Empire, but privately supported the expulsion of the Liao tax officials at the local level, and even reached agreements with the rebels and tax-resistant savages.

In the past, a tribe had to hand over horses, cattle and sheep, Haidongqing, or anything worth so much money for the Liao Empire a year, but now he only needs to hand over cattle and sheep to the local chiefs, and as the clan lords say, "you can do whatever you want on your land." In this way, a savage can save a lot of wealth in a year by working hard, which can add him three sheep, two ewes, a ram, and, of course, lambs.

On the other hand, the local tribal leaders were originally only responsible for "guarding Liaodong for our king", and they only had to do their duty to deliver the cattle, sheep and other things handed over by a Jurchen, and then wait for the Khitan nobles to generously give ---- every 10,000 sheep and return 50 sheep to them. This is equivalent to a Jurchen, who can almost only get a pitiful sheep's hoof a year.

Now they can get a leg of mutton, and what they have to do is to acquiesce to the wild people to continue to drive out the Khitans on the one hand, and give the money or cattle and sheep to themselves; On the other hand, they have to constantly explain to the Khitan officials that the people's grievances are boiling now, and they really can't harvest a sheep.

This situation lasted for three years, and the Khitans received less and less goods in Liaodong, and now they only receive at most 20% of what they received in their heyday.

The Khitan Emperor Yelu Hongji was extremely angry at the greed of these tribal leaders, but unfortunately he could not spare enough troops to deal with these people, so he could only select some capable people from among the nobles to go to Liaodong with his own tribal soldiers and horses to deal with those bloodsucking tribal leaders.

The contest between Sun Sancao and Sula Hague is a microcosm of such a general situation, Yun Er is unlucky, in Suzhou City, Sun Sancao won, but in more places, it is the local forces that have won, and not every Khitan nobleman is as wise as Sun Sancao. A bear bag like the black bone poison is the normal state of the Khitan nobles.

Ever since the Zhulijin tribe of Yelu Shin became the people of God in the Golden Lotus River, Yelu Hongji has fallen into a heartache and his temper has become very irritable.

In the past, his favorite thing was hunting, chanting poetry, and releasing Hai Dongqing, but since Hongzhu'er married Yeluxin and his white jade harrier king died, he didn't like these more elegant activities, and he seemed to have returned to the most barbaric atavistic state overnight.

The richest Jinlian River, the area around Daga Haizi no longer has any taxes sent over, and the treasure that he originally counted on has now become the communist property of all Khitans. The result was worse than the treasure being snatched by the enemy.

If the treasure is robbed by the enemy, he can still go and grab it back, but now that it has become a communist, it has become a luxury to get back a gold ingot from the middle.

In order to alleviate the pain, he indulged in frenzied drinking, and increased the extortion of all the people under his rule, and the commercial tax became a terrible two-tax one, and the poll tax quadrupled compared to five years ago, and in such an environment, the merchants disappeared, and then the little freedmen soon disappeared from people's sight.

The nobles of the Khitan welcomed the emperor very much, because the ordinary merchants were gone, and their own caravans were still alive, and the freedmen were gone, because those freedmen had now become their own slaves, so there were not many people to admonish the emperor, and the few who dared to speak were buried in the ice and snow by Yelu Hongji and froze into ice sculptures.

Yun Zheng looked at these materials and unconsciously saw that it was dawn, Lu Qingqing waited for her husband to finish washing, and then there was bacon for Yun Zheng to bring breakfast.

Looking at the crystal clear meat buns, Yun Zheng smiled, grabbed one and ate it, the Yun family's life in the prison finally returned to the rhythm of the previous home.

Those guards are much more capable than Yun Zheng thought, bacon said, the entire kitchen at home has been moved to the prison, and they will have everything to eat in the future.

Yun Zheng smiled and said to Lu Qingqing: "You go back and thank Concubine Shu, she still takes good care of us." ”

"You mean the guards?"

"I'm talking about those fish, whose koi fish can you fish out casually? Don't you think those fish are stupid? ”

Yun Zheng smiled and continued to gobble up. (To be continued.) )
