It seems that Handlebar Style is also a good talker. He looked at Yuan Rui and asked, and started talking directly.

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

"Oh, you can still guess this." Yuan Ruizhen was a little curious.

"It's all nonsense. Many people say he is Yu Gong's person, so they are worried."

"Uncle, what do you say?"

"Yangzhou is the most stable state in the Xia Dynasty for a hundred years. If we really want to implement the New Deal, I am afraid that some people will be restless."

"That's true, Yangzhou has been very stable for a hundred years, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and they are all making money."

"Ms. Yuan, don't mention it. There is a rumor that when the Song Dynasty went south a hundred years ago, the royal descendants buried many treasures here in Yangzhou, which were reserved for the Northern Expedition. I heard that many people are looking for them now."

Yuan Rui laughed, 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 were forced to go south. Not to mention taking their treasures, they didn't even have money to eat. Isn't this nonsense?

.

Of course, there is also a theory that a lot of treasures did flow out of the Northern Song Dynasty palace, and they were taken south by the palace maids, eunuchs and defeated soldiers. Of course, there were many common people and wealthy people in the middle. But these people fled for their lives all the way.

In life, the things I brought with me are gradually scattered among the people, and the possibility of large-scale wealth is really slim.

To be honest, Yuan Rui sneered at the rumors of treasures. His understanding was that the wealth of the Northern Song Dynasty was actually hidden among the people. The government wealth was not much, but the common people had money. The imperial court conducted annual inspections of Liao, Jin, and Xixia

No matter how much money is provided, there will be no spare money. In the end, the rebels are almost self-sufficient.

However, it is not unusual to say that there are treasures in Yangzhou, especially in recent hundreds of years, Yangzhou has been the most prosperous place in the Central Plains. It is not that the government is rich, but that the merchants and people make money, and their business is very good. This is the place where sea trade enters

The first big city in the Central Plains, whether from Nanyang or Ryukyu, many items from the West flowed from here to various places in the Central Plains.

"There must be treasures here in Yangzhou. If nothing else, how many businessmen have come here in the past few hundred years."

"Ms. Yuan, some people say that because there are too many treasures in Yangzhou, pirates are targeting this place."

"Pirates? It's impossible. Yangzhou is hundreds of miles away from the sea. How can pirates survive?"

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

Yuan Rui fell silent for a moment. It seems that history is still surprisingly similar. In another time and space, the dwarf ghost people began to come over during the chaos in the Central Plains, and they plagued the coast for five hundred years.

Won’t the course of history change as reality changes?

History has deviated a little at a certain corner. The current time and space does not belong to any dynasty that he is familiar with. History before Zhao and Song Dynasty still followed the normal track, but there was a deviation when Mongolia went south.

The Mongolian army not only brutally killed the Han people, derogating the Han people as the fourth class of people like slaves, but also forced the Han people to change their fields into grasslands and graze cattle and sheep. Resistance continued in various places. Faced with this situation, Mongolia began to suppress them more bloody, and became more and more

This aroused the resistance of the people throughout the occupied areas, and people including Khitan, Uighur, Tibetan, Miao and even some small ethnic groups began to resist.

In the fight against Mongolia, many well-known peasant rebel armies emerged in various places, including the Yang Jiajun in Shanxi, the Liu Jiajun in Jianghuai, the Yue Jiajun in Anyang, and the Han Jiajun in Huainan.

These rebels formed their own system and relied on local people to continuously attack local Mongolian garrisons. After the Mongolian army returned north, these rebels gradually expanded their areas, established local autonomous regimes, collected grain and supplies, supplied the army, and appeased the local people.

The flags these rebels invariably played during the resistance were not those of Zhao and Song. One flag was a Chinese character flag, and the other flag was the name of the rebel army they belonged to. These rebels governed the area under their jurisdiction in a very orderly manner, and the people's production and life were orderly.

Especially after the Mongols retreated, there were only seven rebel armies left in the Central Plains. 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 the Jingzhou area. These rebel armies occupied the Central Plains.

Nearly 70% of the area.

Some century-old clans played a very crucial role at this time. They sent representatives to contact seven rebel armies. A large area of ​​land in the north fell, and they were the ones who suffered the most.

The leaders of the Seven Families Rebel Army were founded with the purpose of fighting against the Mongolian army. For them, they really had no intention of becoming emperor. Not long after, the Seven Families Rebel Army met in Anyang and found and supported the direct descendants of Song Taizu who had moved to Zhangzhou.

He sat on the throne and established Ye as the capital, but the name of the country was changed to Xia, and it was known as the Great Xia Empire.

Two years later, with the cooperation of the local people, the rebel army once again captured the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, and the troops came to Shanhaiguan. Longzhou and Bingzhou were also directly captured by the rebel army on the other side. At this point, they reached the Great Wall in the north and Nanyue in the south.

The entire area from the Hexi Corridor in the west to the sea in the east was once again under the rule of the Han people.

After the founding of the Xia Kingdom, the Central Plains was divided into regions according to summer regulations. Except for Jianye Prefecture, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the capital, the entire Xia Dynasty was divided into eighteen local states. Inspectors and state guard commanders were stationed as local military and political leaders.

There are prefectures under the official state, and the prefecture governs small states and counties. The chiefs of these three are assigned to the local states and report to the court to accept their orders directly. The prefectures and prefectures do not have the power to appoint and remove prefects and county magistrates. This is also the most different from previous dynasties.

a little.

The country is divided into ninety-two prefectures, 147 small prefectures, and 283 counties. The jurisdictions of the eighteen local prefectures are Youzhou, Bingzhou, Longzhou, Ganzhou, Shuzhou, and Luozhou.

Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Zhangzhou, Luzhou, Jiangzhou, Jingzhou, Tanzhou, Guizhou, Jiaozhou, Yuezhou.

The inspectors of large states are of the third rank, the prefectures are of the fourth rank, the prefectures of small states are of the sixth rank, and the counties are of the seventh rank. However, for the sake of distinction, some prefects are of the fifth rank. Most of these prefectures are relatively important local cities, such as

Ezhou, Sizhou, Jiangzhou and so on.

Thanks to the loose policies in the early days of the Xia Dynasty and the foundation laid by the rebel army, after the founding of the Xia Dynasty for a hundred years, after the Five Emperors, the domestic society was stable and the people's livelihood was prosperous. Many ethnic groups in the periphery began to regard the Xia Kingdom as their suzerain state again, such as the Uighurs in the northwest and the Tibetans in the southwest.

, Dali, Nanzhi in the south, Chijin in the northeast, and even overseas Ryukyu sent envoys to the DPRK 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 without reason, such as this

assassination.

Yuan Rui is not a nerd who only reads books by saints and sages. He is also quite smart. He is very attentive and hardworking in his studies. It was relatively easy for him to pass the county examination, and his grades in the county official school are among the best.

He couldn't think clearly about many things. It wasn't that his brain was damaged, it was just that he really couldn't remember it. But there was one thing that left a deep impression on him, and it was about the New Deal that he just mentioned.

He now clearly remembers that just after the Spring Festival three months ago, he was studying at home because of the vacation. Li Zheng from the same village came to him very early and told him something. He was thinking about whether he could bring some relatives together.

The family property was placed in his name. At that time, Yuan Rui joked that he would not take the government examination until a few months later. Even if he passed, there would still be a provincial examination, so it would be too early. Li Zheng didn't say much, he just said it.

He said, sooner or later, why not do it in advance? Yuan Lang declined to think about it and asked Li Zheng to go back first.

What surprised him was that not long after Li Zheng left, several uncles and uncles from his family also came over and said that they wanted to transfer part of the land under his name to him. Only then did Yuan Rui feel that something was wrong, that he had won the lottery.

Almost a year later, they were so sure that they could pass the exam. He didn't know these worldly things at the time, so he could only use excuses to postpone it.

People don't have the ability to see before and after. If it weren't for the following things, he still wouldn't have thought of so much. As a simple scholar, he just wanted to save some taxes every year. After all, he would enjoy more tax exemptions after winning the election. However, later inadvertently, he heard
