Chapter 36 Li Chang's Discovery
The land of Yanzhou has long formed a local tyrant as local officials, which has played a role in connecting the ruling class of the Liao Kingdom and the people.
Every year, Yanzhou's astronomical food and fodder was collected through the hands of local tyrants and finally sent to the ruling center of Nanjing Road, Xijin Prefecture.
Since the powerful are coming to collect food and fodder, the process in the middle will not be too particular, such as the tips, kicking, hollow weights, and massing of different sizes. These common methods used by the officials of the Song Dynasty are extremely prominent in these powerful people.
Bullying men and women is naturally one of the benefits of bullies.
After eighty years of such days, the people are no longer surprised by the practices of the powerful. Only then did these powerful people show their humanity that they would doubt whether these powerful people were sick or had any more sinister attempts.
It’s not that no one has resisted. There has never been a shortage of heroes in the land of Yanzhao. However, these heroes were killed by all the powerful men on the ground in Yanzhou before their wings were full.
After every resistance, it brings more cruel exploitation to the people. Fortunately, after hundreds of years of continuous war, the population is always too large. At least the people still have a lot of land in their hands. They farm day and night all year round, and they can only fill their hunger and starve to death. This is the lifestyle of slaves.
Accompanied by Kong Yuanda, Li Chang traveled all over the villages and villages of Zhuolu County. He keenly discovered that the people of Zhuolu County and the powerful people were incompatible.
After being a local official for many years, Li Chang naturally knew what this meant. If this happens between the people of Tang County under his rule and the wealthy families, the only thing Li Chang can do is to ask the local garrison for help, ask the court to send a large army to Tang County, and then calm the people's resentment by dealing with some rich families with great public anger.
When the public grievances subside, we must contact those rich families as soon as possible to reduce some harsh land rent and do some good deeds of repairing bridges and roads, so that Tang County can be restored to a normal state and county situation.
It is difficult to do these things, and requires very clever wisdom. It also requires very clever means, and a pair of keen eyes to find the root of the disaster.
Military suppression is definitely not a long-term solution. The civil servants of the Song Dynasty have long summarized an effective management method to deal with various emergencies.
The officials of the Liao Kingdom in Yanzhou were obviously not at this level. They grew up on the grassland and followed the robber's rule of prey on the weak.
When the army was also in the hands of the powerful, the people became the weak, and they needed a suitable outlet for resentment that had accumulated for eighty years.
Li Chang even believed that even if the volcano was suppressed for so many years, the end result would be landslides and earth cracks.
Yunhou believed that Yanyun had to eliminate a class before he could become a member. In the past, Li Chang didn't know why Yunhou said this. Now he understood that in Yanzhou, the people and the powerful had completely confronted each other. Unless a class was completely eliminated, the entire Yanzhou would become peaceful again and the dead trees would bloom new buds again.
Seeing the tragic events in the world in cold eyes, Li Chang was already worried. The powerful man wanted to live a good life. Therefore, his number was relatively small. Just like in the jungle, the largest number of animals are always grass-eating animals, and the number of beasts that rely on culling prey to survive will never exceed the food he wants to eat.
There is no doubt that destroying the powerful class is the most suitable and beneficial for the Song Dynasty. Doing so will not only win over the hearts of the people, but also allow the Song Dynasty finance, which is already on the verge of exhaustion, to take a breath and inject some new wealth again.
The powerful people occupy the most fertile land here, the most lush mountains and forests here, the most beautiful scenery here, and the most gorgeous houses here.
Seeing the mansions of the powerful men comparable to those of the princes, Li Chang often couldn't help but secretly figure out how much wealth such a mansion could bring to the Song Dynasty, and how many refugees and disaster victims could be placed in those vast lands.
The more you see, the redder Li Chang's eyes became. In the end, the unpleasant disease of red eye disease naturally came to Li Chang.
Lying in Kong Yuanda's wooden house, his eyes were covered with cold linen cloth. After being in the western Beijing army for a long time, he knew that boiling linen cloth would be much cleaner, so he applied the ointment to his eyes. Listening to the sound of reading aloud by the boys, he felt that his soul seemed to have become much cleaner.
"... Dragon Master Fire Emperor, Bird Official, Human Emperor, began to make texts, and clothes, and give up the country. Youyu Taotang, chant the people and punish the crimes. Zhou Fayin Tang sat in the court to ask for the way, bowed the gong Pingzhang, love to cultivate the head of the Li, ministers and ministers were buried in Rong Qiang, and were united. Lead guests to return to the king. The phoenix was in the bamboo, the white horses were eating the field, and turned into vegetation and plants, and depended on all directions. This body was born. The four major and five constants were respectful and raised. How dare you hurt the woman admired chastity and the men were good at talent.
This paragraph needs to be recited more. I will focus on this paragraph in the future. The teacher will focus on it... Since ancient times, only those with virtue have lived in the world, and those without virtue have lost the world..."
In just ten days, Li Chang finally saw the huge educational forces of the Kong Yan family. The retired soldiers of the Jingxi Army who followed him to Zhuolu helped Kong Yuanda to send away sixty-three letters, and the sixty-three messengers would also become the guards of the sixty-three recipients.
Neither Li Chang nor Kong Yuanda doubted the force of these people. Kong Yuanda just looked at the gunpowder bullets under the guard's clothes and no longer worried about the safety of his friends and relatives.
A strong man armed to his teeth could almost walk sideways in Yanzhou.
He was continuing his great cause of education, and he had even decided to stay in Yanzhou to continue educating the people here.
In the near future, the people of Yanzhou will face an unprecedented storm. After this storm, the familiar Yanzhou will no longer exist. He cannot imagine how confused the people will be after the catastrophe. Perhaps his existence will give the people here a little more comfort.
I am the origin of the storm. I worked hard for ten years to set off this storm with my own hands. After the storm, I had no reason to return to Tokyo to enjoy the flesh-and-blooded feast after the storm.
Zhuolu Mountain where the wooden building is located actually belongs to a family called Chunyu. This family is naturally a big powerful family, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such a huge forest.
The biggest reason why Kong Yuanda was able to place the school here was the support of this family named Chunyu.
Back then, a man with elegant temperament and plain green clothes walked to Chunyu's doorstep to ask for a visit to the head of the Chunyu family. There had never been such a man in Zhuolu County. Even the most fierce thug guard was intimidated by his elegant temperament and obediently reported to the head of the family who could not read a single word in his family.
The man chatted and laughed in the back garden and was very happy. The man didn't seem to care about the rude language of the head of Chunyu's family. The most valuable thing is that he could also organize the rude principles of the head of Chunyu's family into very exquisite philosophical words.
After rejecting the courtship of the widowed daughter of the Chunyu family, the Chunyu family drew a very fertile and beautiful place at the foot of Zhuolu Mountain and ordered the craftsmen to build a huge wooden building here, so the sound of reading sounded at the foot of Zhuolu Mountain for the first time.
Today is the 60th birthday of the head of Chunyu's family. Early in the morning, he sent a housekeeper to invite Mr. Kong to drink with him.
After the children left school, Kong Yuanda specially changed into a unpatched Confucian shirt, a pair of newly made numb shoes, and under his arms, a scroll of the centenary picture written last night was clamped, so he was about to get up and go to Chunyu's house.
Before leaving, Kong Yuanda looked back at the majestic wooden building and patted the thick pillars. The roar of the head of Chunyu's family still echoed in his ears: "That god-dog dares to fool me in the wooden building, so I will fool his whole family!"
Following a green path Kong Yuanda came to a small door, and went forward and knocked on the door knocker gently. A thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks bent down and opened the small door, and smiled flatteringly: "Mr. Kong has just come. My master has been waiting for you in the chess booth for a long time. If you don't come again, the villain's butt will be in trouble."
Kong Yuanda snorted and said, "God knows how your master has the habit of playing chess. It would be fine if he played well, but he was a bad chess player. He played chess with him for ten years. His chess skills have not improved, but my chess skills have retreated. These days, I went out to visit friends and were killed by the defeated generals of the past. I must calculate the accounts carefully today!"
The man with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek smiled and said, "This is a grudge between you and my master. You can't blame the villain. You should hurry up. The master has already made good tea specially transported from Shu, and I'm waiting for you to drink it."
Kong Yuanda stuffed the 100th birthday picture under his arm into the butler's hand and said, "I'm used to eating and drinking for free. I'm a villain when I come to my house. But today is your master's birthday. I specially wrote a hundred words to wish him eternal life. You can find a place to hang it up."
The two of them walked into a huge back garden with no friends while talking and laughing. Kong Yuanda ignored the women who were posing for him and walked into the moon gate with great strides. From a distance, he heard a bold voice roaring: "Old Kong, I got a new chess record yesterday. I thought about it all night last night, and I will see how I killed you and abandoned your armor."
Kong Yuanda walked into the octagonal pavilion with his hands on his back, looked at the two crooked chess pavilions on the pavilion, and his face twitched twice. Shi Shiran sat on a huge rattan chair, pulled out a folding fan from his sleeve and knocked on his forehead: "What kind of chess score can make you reborn overnight?"
A strong man eight feet tall lying on the other side was lying in another rattan chair and pounding his chest, saying, "You have won for ten years, so why don't I allow me to be generous?
I know you like to drink tea, but this is the new tea I got from Xijin Mansion. Drink it quickly, and it will be easy to play chess after drinking it!" (To be continued.)
