Wang Yue's Northern Expedition ended in this way, and he immediately boarded a ship in Lushun to Dengzhou, and then returned to Kaifeng by land from Dengzhou.

Kaifeng.

Zhongshan Palace.

"The king of Zhongshan swept away Hulu, so that I was far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and his merits should be brilliant through the ages!"

Zhu Shengfei said with a smiling face.

He was the negotiator sent by the Zhenjiang court, and he had been waiting for Wang Yue here for two months, during which time he tried his best to lobby in the court and won the unanimous support of everyone from Zhao Huan to the ministers, but now as soon as Wang Yue returned, these bastards were all shrunken turtles. Zhao Huan said that he was sick, and then ordered everything to be handled by the King of Zhongshan, and then Zhu Shengfei could only come to Wang Yue to lean on the door and laugh, in fact, he couldn't say that he was a southerner, his family was from Caizhou, but because he had no worries, he could face Wang Yue calmly......

Well, that means he can break the jar.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, the official family is merciful, allow you to talk, but don't think that you are really qualified to negotiate with the imperial court, the disposal content for you is here, how to choose to do it yourself, I will go down to Jiangnan again in a month, and those who dare to resist at that time will be dealt with by the party."

Raid the house.

Destroy the door!

Men throw islands to mine, and women are married to the poor without wives. ”

Wang Yue said and simply threw him a pamphlet.

At this time, Zhong Xiang was actually defeated, after he took Dingzhou, he was immediately attacked by Li Gang and Tian Youxiang who returned from Xiangyang and led the Sizhou Tusi army, Zhong Xiang's troops were all rabble after all, and they couldn't beat the elite under Li Gang, he withdrew from Dingzhou after the defeat, but established a water village in Dongting Lake. Moreover, the people in various parts of Jinghu South Road swarmed, and Li Gang could not do anything, but relied on the Tusi army to control the major cities of Ding, Li, and Tan, but those villages and even the county town were out of control, and the gentry from all over the country could only flee into the city and even form regiments by themselves.

But it didn't work in the end.

Because it is already very dangerous to go to the village to collect rent, maybe if you can't get to the village, you may be chopped up by a mob from a river.

Unless you train with a few hundred armed regiments.

But it also costs money to support the group training, and it even costs more than the rent collected.

Those landlords don't know how to settle accounts, and if the cost of collecting rent exceeds the rent they can receive, of course they will not do loss-making business, and even if the current situation suppresses the civil uprising, it is likely that they will be pushed by Wang Yue, so hiding in the city to keep their money is more sensible than risking death to collect rent, so the entire Jinghu South Road is being eroded in their description.

In many places, bandits are rampant outside the city.

However, Fan Ruwei of Fujian is eye-catching, this smuggler is actually a talent, he has actually established a real political power in Jianzhou in northern Fujian, he called himself the Fujian Jiedu envoy of the Kaifeng court, and then played militia in the counties of Jianzhou, confiscated the landlord's land and then equalized the land. But for those landlords who did not resist, he also guaranteed property and personal safety, and as a merchant himself, he encouraged industry and commerce, and also formed a regular army of 20,000 men, and has now taken Shao Wu.

Mainly, of course, he seized several silver mines in that area.

He has plenty of money.

And most of the other troops resembled the bells.

Because of the limitations of their own ability, although these people rebelled with enthusiasm, they lacked the ability to organize and form a political power, and could only create chaos but could not establish order, if the situation was normal, the Zhenjiang court and the Jiangnan gentry had enough ability to deal with these people.

But with Wang Yue, it's different.

It is impossible for them to resist Wang Yue's army going south in such a situation where the people are swarming.

I can only bend my knees and beg for mercy.

"The king set up the Four Peoples Assembly to allow all the people in the world to speak, why can't I wait for a word?"

Zhu Shengfei said.

He had read the contents of the pamphlet countless times.

According to the previous fifth-class edition, the first, second, and third-class households are allowed to choose 50 acres of land, which is reduced to the standard of fourth-class households, and the rest must be sold to the state, but the state pays with land vouchers, and they have the ownership of those lands they retain. The original fourth- and fifth-class households remain unchanged, the land in their hands is still theirs, and the customers who originally rented the land that was confiscated by the state continue to cultivate the land in their hands in the form of rent, including the main households who originally needed to rent part of the land, and pay rent to the state.

Then all the main customers, regardless of the past, are integrated into the militia system.

This is actually not very excessive either.

Of course, the customers cheered, and the fifth-class households also cheered, and the fourth-class households did not move anything and did not have to pay those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, because in the future, the peasants only collected the field tax, although the field tax rose a little, and it was changed to roughly equivalent to one out of ten, but other conscription, attrition, poll tax, etc., were all abolished.

So the fourth-class households are also happy.

The unlucky ones are the top three.

But the third-class households are small landlords, originally a family of about 100 acres, as a landlord class benefits are not much, but the imperial court's taxes, the exploitation of officials, but mainly on their heads, really poor rats are crying customers of course do not have much oil and water to scrape, the first and second class households are powerful, do not dare to scrape, in the end, of course, they are the most unlucky.

This is reluctantly acceptable, at least it's not worth working hard for, not to mention that many third-class households actually farm their own fields.

Fifty acres are reserved for sufficient food and clothing.

The first and second class, especially the first class households, are the most unlucky, but they have no ability to resist on their own, the current situation is that in the main households of a place, the first four class households are usually only one-tenth, taking Yanzhou as an example, all the main households add up to a total of 120,000 ding, but the number of the first four class households is only 10,000, and the number of the fifth class households is 110,000. And in this tenth, the first and second class households are at most one-tenth, a state of 100,000 households, the first and second class households will not exceed 1,000, the customers do not resist, the fourth and fifth class households do not resist, and the third-class households are swaying, is it necessary to let the hundreds of men from the first and second class households carry knives and rise up against Wang Yue?

Don't talk nonsense!

They are all scholars, and many of them can't even hold knives!

Resistance cannot be resisted.

But......

Then the land voucher is like waste paper!

This ransom is simply disgusting, it is even more outrageous than direct robbery, at least the latter does not insult their intelligence, this ransom insults both their personality and their intelligence.

"I allowed you to speak, when did I not allow you to speak? It's not that our Great Song Dynasty doesn't have a special place to speak, if you want, you can go to the Four People's Conference to say, and I don't forbid you to participate in the Four People's Conference, but now you are blocking the imperial court's governance by force, so the imperial court can't elect the representatives of the Four Peoples in you, look at Hangzhou and Xiuzhou, don't you also elect the representatives of the Four Peoples?

So, if you want to speak, you have to lay down your arms.

Then elect representatives of the Four Peoples in various places, and come to the capital to participate in the Four Peoples Conference, and then you can speak freely! ”

Wang Yue said.

"Doesn't the King of Zhongshan think it's too child's play to catch lots to elect the representatives of the four people?"

Zhu Shengfei said.

"So what's not a joke? Elected by the local people? Then I took out 10,000 yuan, who recommended me to be consistent, and in the end it became a rich man and bought it with money, and it was no child's play? Then the Four People's Congress became the Rich Assembly, forcing the imperial court to formulate various systems to take care of the rich and continue to oppress the poor? Or is it like the Wei and Jin dynasties, so that they simply set up a nine-product zhongzheng system in the local area, so that the Four Peoples Conference becomes the gate valve assembly, and forces the court to become a puppet of the gate valve in the future, just like when the king and the horse shared the world?

Fair!

Remember, only fairness is the most important thing.

I can't think of a fairer way to do that than by lot! ”

Wang Yue said.

"But there can't be any restrictions, and the peddlers and pawns are all in the temple."

Hu Quan, the deputy envoy who had been holding back and not speaking, said.

"Fair, a scholar is a human being, but a peddler is not a human being?"

Wang Yue said.

Hu Quan shut up and was speechless.

"How will the imperial court elect officials in the future?"

Zhu Shengfei asked.

"You want to ask if the imperial examination can be done yet, right? I can tell you very clearly that the imperial examination will still be carried out, but it will not be taken as in the past, and I am still thinking about how to take the examination. ”

Wang Yue said.

The imperial examination is just changed to a civil service examination.

This is still indispensable, in fact, it is also very easy to operate, how to take the test or how to take the test, but it is divided into several sections, and then they are all jinshi, and they are not directly local officials, but thrown out to be a second official, and the rest will be promoted by ability. In fact, the knowledge level of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty is still okay, they are not at all those of our Qing Dynasty who only understand Bagu Wen, they all know some science, medicine, and agriculture.

The Gray Boy hasn't been born yet!

In later generations, the science of the two major systems of Confucianism had just started, and Lu Jiuyuan, who studied the mind, was not born.

Confucianism can also be rescued or distorted.

"I want to thank King Zhongshan for being able to appreciate the literati for a bite to eat."

Hu Quan said expressionlessly.

Wang Yue looked at them with a smile, in fact, they all knew very well that they had no other choice, if they still had a glimmer of hope for the Jurchens to go south before, but now there is no hope at all, either accept the reality or Wang Yue's army will go south and destroy them together with those rebels in various places. They just want to twist it now, and they just want to look good, but Wang Yue is not ready to give them a little face, if they want to surrender, they will surrender unconditionally, accept their fate honestly, don't want to fight for anything, they have no qualifications to fight for anything.

"Two, one month, I will give you a month to go back and inform all the roads, and in a month I will lead an army of 100,000 to inspect the south of the Yangtze River, and I will continue to walk on all roads, and at the same time preside over the public land law in various places and preside over the election of the representatives of the four peoples, and any obstruction during this period is a dead end.

And then until I was done patrolling all the roads.

You're short on time, both of you, so tomorrow I want you to leave immediately!

Drop-off! ”

He said very dryly.

Zhu Shengfei and Hu Quan stood up silently and walked outside gloomily......
