The handlebar type seems to be a good talker, looking at Yuan Rui and asking, he said it directly.

"Yuan Xianggong, I haven't heard anything special, it's just that many people are guessing who the new inspector is."

"Oh, that's a guess." Yuan Rui was really a little curious.

"It's all nonsense, and many people say it's Yu Gong's person, so they're all worried."

"Uncle, what do you say?"

"Yangzhou is the most stable state in the past hundred years of Great Xia, and if you really want to implement the new policy, I am afraid that some people will be restless."

"That's right, Yangzhou has been very stable for a hundred years, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they have made money."

"Yuan Xianggong, don't say it, there is really a rumor, that when the Song people went south a hundred years ago, the royal descendants buried a lot of treasures here in Yangzhou, which were kept for the Northern Expedition, and I heard that many people are looking for it now."

Yuan Rui smiled, this is a bit outrageous, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the descendants of the Zhao family were captured, and a few people were forced to go south, not to mention carrying treasures, and they didn't even have money for their own meals, this is not nonsense.

Of course, there is also a saying that there are indeed a lot of treasures flowing out of the palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, which were carried south by those palace maids, eunuchs and defeated soldiers, and of course there are many rich people in the middle. But these people fled for their lives all the way, lived all the way, and the things they brought with them gradually scattered among the people, and it is really unlikely that they will have a large amount of wealth.

To tell the truth, Yuan Rui scoffed at such rumors of treasures, his cognition, the wealth of the Northern Song Dynasty was actually hidden in the people, and the wealth of the government was really not much, but the common people were rich. The imperial court made offerings to Liao, Jin, and Western Xia every year, where would there be any surplus money, and in the end, the rebels were almost self-sufficient.

However, it is not uncommon to say that there are treasures in Yangzhou, especially in the past few hundred years, Yangzhou is the most prosperous place in the Central Plains. It is not that the government is rich, but that the merchants and the people make money, and they do very well in business. This is the first big city of sea trade into the Central Plains, whether it is from the South Seas, the Ryukyus, and even many items from the West flow from here to various places in the Central Plains.

"There must be treasures here in Yangzhou, not to mention anything else, how many businessmen have come here in the past few hundred years."

"Yuan Xianggong, some people say that it is because there are too many treasures in Yangzhou that the bandits are eyeing here."

"Pirates? It's impossible, Yangzhou is hundreds of miles away from the sea, how can the bandits get by. ”

"Yuan Xianggong, many of their businessmen are talking about this, and many big families are inviting people."

Yuan Rui was silent for a moment, it seems that the history is still strikingly similar, in another time and space, the dwarf ghost people started to come over when the Central Plains was chaotic, and they have plagued the coast for five hundred years.

Doesn't the course of history change as reality changes?

History has deviated a little at a certain corner, the current time and space do not belong to any dynasty he is familiar with, the history before the Zhao and Song dynasties still followed the normal track, but there was a deviation in the link of the southward movement of Mongolia.

The Mongol army not only brutally killed the Han people, degraded the Han people to the same fourth-class class as slaves, but also forced the Han people to change their fields into grasslands and graze cattle and sheep. Faced with this situation, the Mongols began to crack down more bloodily, which further aroused the revolt of the people in the entire occupied area, including the Khitan, Uighur, Tibetan, Miao and even some small ethnic groups.

In the struggle against Mongolia, a number of well-known peasant rebel armies appeared in various places, such as the Yang army in Shanxi, the Liu army in Jianghuai, the Yuejia army in Anyang, and the Han army in Huainan.

After the Mongol army returned north, these rebels gradually expanded their areas, established local self-government, collected grain and grass materials, supplied the army, and pacified the local people.

The banners that these rebels played unanimously in the resistance were not Zhao Song, one big flag was the Chinese character flag, and the other flag was the name flag of the rebel army to which they belonged, and these rebels were very orderly in their jurisdiction over the jurisdiction, and the people's production and life were orderly.

Especially after the retreat of the Mongols, there were only seven rebel armies left in the Central Plains, and in addition to the above four rebel armies, there were also the Jiangyin army in Jianye, the Qiantang army in Lin'an, and the Chu army in Jingzhou, which occupied nearly 70% of the area of the Central Plains.

Some of the century-old clans played a very crucial role at this time, they sent representatives to contact the seven rebel armies one after another, and a large part of the northern country fell, and it was actually them who suffered the most.

The leaders of the Seven Righteous Families were established to fight against the Mongol army, and for them, they really had no intention of being emperors. Not long after, the Seven Rebels met in Anyang, found and supported the descendants of Song Taizu, who had moved to Zhangzhou, to sit on the throne and set the capital to build Ye, but the country name was changed to Xia, known as the Great Xia Empire.

Two years later, with the cooperation of the local people, the rebels once again captured the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, and the troops were in Shanhaiguan, while Longzhou and Bingzhou were also directly taken by the rebels. At this point, the entire area from the Great Wall in the north, to Nanyue in the south, to the Hexi Corridor in the west, and to the sea in the east was once again under the rule of the Han Chinese.

After the establishment of the Xia State, the Central Plains was divided into regions according to the Xia system, except for the Jianye Mansion directly under the jurisdiction of the capital, the entire Great Xia was divided into 18 local states, and patrol envoys and state guard commanders were stationed as local military and political officials. The prefecture is set up under the prefecture, and the government governs the small prefecture and county, and the governors of these three are directly appointed to the local state after reporting to the court, and the state and the government do not have the right to appoint and dismiss the prefecture and the county, which is also the most different point from the previous dynasties.

The country is divided into 92 prefectures, 147 small prefectures, and 283 counties. The jurisdiction of the 18 local states is Youzhou, Bingzhou, Longzhou, Ganzhou, Shuzhou, Luozhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Zhangzhou, Luzhou, Jiangzhou, Jingzhou, Tanzhou, Guizhou, Jiaozhou, and Yuezhou.

The large state patrol envoy is the third product, the government has a four-product prefect, the small state has a six-product governor, and the county has a seven-product county. However, in order to distinguish, some prefectures are five products, and most of these prefectures are more important cities in the local area, such as Ezhou, Sizhou, and Jiangzhou.

Thanks to the relaxed policies in the early days of the Xia Dynasty and the foundation laid by the rebel army, the Xia Dynasty has gone through five emperors in the past hundred years, the domestic society has been stable, the people's livelihood has been boiling, and many ethnic groups in the periphery have begun to worship the Xia State as their suzerain, such as the Uighurs in the northwest, Tubo and Dali in the southwest, Nantoe in the south, and Chijin in the northeast, and even the overseas Ryukyus were sent to the court a few years ago.

Yuan Rui has also been thinking about his own affairs, he is completely different, he is very sensitive to events, especially in history, he knows that nothing happens for no reason, such as this assassination.

Yuan Rui is not a nerd who only reads sage books, he is also smart, he reads very hard, and he works hard, the county has tried it quite easily, and his grades in the county official school are also in the forefront.

He couldn't think about many things clearly, not because his brain was broken, but because he really couldn't remember. But there was one thing that he was quite impressed, and it was about the New Deal that he had just mentioned.

He now clearly remembers that three months ago, just after the Spring Festival, he was studying at home because of the holiday, and Li Zheng from the same village came to him very early. told him one thing, thinking about whether he could put the land of a few relatives in his name, at that time Yuan Rui also joked that he would only take the government examination a few months later, and even if he was admitted, there would be a township test, is it too early. Li Zheng didn't say much, just followed him and said, sooner or later, or do it in advance, Yuan Lang excused himself and thought about it, and let Li Zheng go back first.

What made him strange was that not long after Li Zheng left, several uncles and uncles under the family also came over, and they also said that they would transfer part of the land under their names to themselves, and then Yuan Rui felt that something was wrong, that is, he was lifted, and it was almost a year later, they were so sure that they could pass the exam, where did he know these worldly things at that time, and he could only use excuses to push back.

People don't have front and back eyes, if there are no things behind, he still can't think so much, as a simple scholar, thinking that it is just to save some taxes every year, after all, he enjoys more exemptions after the lift. However, later, inadvertently, I heard some gossip, saying that Yuan Rui was about to develop, not only did he succeed in his studies, but also there were people in the court, and he was just around the corner.
