Chapter 799 Riot
Under the urging of Cao Yuzan, the core figures of the Meng family and the Ximen family left Beijing one after another, and rushed to the vassal land to carry out drastic economic reforms.And Cao Yuzan's method of urging is to praise Tang, stare at Meng, and scold Ximen.

People have faces and skins, and they are scolded in court every day. Even the old spring Ximen Zhensen can't bear it.

Not long after, news came from Huainan Road that Ximen's seemed to be retaliating against someone, and it really launched land and commercial tax reform at the same time.This may be exactly what Cao Yuhan wanted to see, but it triggered a super-large-scale riot.

Half of the 15 Huben troops were mobilized to suppress the rebellion. At this time, Huainan Road was already a mess.However, there is also good news that poor people support the tax reform, which gives Simon the confidence to win this battle.Moreover, Ximen's prestige in Huainan Road was virtually increased.

The local gentry smuggled across the Yangtze River while fighting, forming a spectacular scene of crossing south in clothes.

Of course, the Huben army would not spare them, and intercepted them along the river. Most of the stowaways were captured, and a small number broke through the defense line and headed south.

When they crossed the center of the river, they saw that the Liang Dynasty ships were no longer chasing them. They danced and clapped their crowns to celebrate, and shouted for the rest of their lives: leave the damn Liang Dynasty and go to the "free, fair and great" Southern Jin Dynasty.

They traveled south with a lot of money, which was a good thing for the Southern Jin Dynasty.Sadly, those people were exterminated by the Eastern Route Army of the Southern Jin Dynasty under the name of "Wandering Water Bandits" before they could reach the land of the Southern Jin Dynasty.Their money was confiscated by the Eastern Route Army, and their bodies were sent to Jinling City to claim credit for Emperor Sima.

Seeing that the road to Nandu was blocked, the gentry fled north one after another, leaving Huainan Road under the jurisdiction of Ximen's family and rushing to Shandong Road, Henan Road and other places.

The emergence of large-scale refugees has aroused the vigilance of the gentry in various places. They believe that the commercial tax reform will spread across the country like the land tax reform.As a result, before Cao Yuzhan could reform the Central Plains Wudao tax reform, the Central Plains Wudao had already begun to riot.Moreover, their development momentum was so strong that when the court received the news, some places had armed forces as high as a thousand.

The Xuanjia army reacted immediately, charged away, chopping with knives and axes.In the words of Cao Yuzan: Don't give any bargaining conditions to the people who gather the crowd, just kill them directly.

"There are always troublesome people in the world."

Cao Yuzan sat upright in the main hall, and said sonorously: "Mother respects the world, but it is impossible for a mother to make trouble for the people. Post the emperor's list and announce the world. Anyone who participates in gathering the crowd will be deprived of their land. And within three generations, they are all troublemakers, and they are not allowed Participating in imperial examinations, not being allowed to take loans, not being allowed to hold public office, and not being able to serve as handymen in the county. From then on, they and their descendants have no right to beat drums to redress grievances, and have been deprived of the right to report crimes for three generations."

Everyone said that Empress Dowager Cao had a lot of bad ideas, but Cao Yuhan's brilliance was that she never blocked the road.

She also emphasized that before August [-]th, if you can voluntarily withdraw from the gathering team, you can forget the past; if you can report and expose, you will get a bonus; Lord of three generations.

Cao Yuzan's method really worked, and soon after, seven or eight local armed forces were dismantled, and someone sent the heads of the leaders of the gathering to the capital to claim their merits and receive a reward.

As a result, most of them were captured by Jingzhao Mansion and sent to Yanyun Frontier Fortress.They say they are lords, but they are actually going to be slave soldiers. Even centurions can decide their life and death.

Cao Yuzan's way of doing things is very dishonest. If people find out, who will trust the court anymore?

So Cao Yuzan launched an overwhelming propaganda work to create public opinion.Arrange some people to perform in the local area, riding tall horses, wearing big red flowers, and holding the slogan "Imperial Lord", all the way, shouting "Empress Cao's mother respects the world, treats the people as family members, the most important thing is credibility, It is trustworthy, and my family members shouted nine thousand years with me!"

The people didn't know who the man on the big horse and wearing the red flower was, they only knew that he killed the leader of the crowd and sent his head to the imperial court, so he got such good treatment.

Lord III, from now on, you can eat and drink without worrying about eating and drinking, and you don't have to kneel down to the magistrate when you go to the county to file a complaint. I really envy others.

Why don't I have a bandit leader by my side, otherwise our family would pick up a kitchen knife and chop him up, and we would be like a lord.

Glory to the lintel and marry three daughters-in-law.

……

The strong wind was howling, and the rain was pouring down, like the Tianhe River was rushing down, pouring on the roof of the shed and making a rumbling sound.

The rain was astonishing, which made Qin Wang and his wife uneasy.

The king of Qin feared that the heavy rain caused the river to surge, the Yellow River burst its embankment, and the grain crops were cut off.

I don't know whether the granary has stored rice in the warehouse in this short period of time.

Looking at the pouring rain, the princess couldn't bear to arrange for the servants, but at this time Wang Xun took the initiative to invite Ying and ran to investigate in the rain.

As soon as Wang Xun went out, the oil-paper umbrella was torn apart by the strong wind and rain. She simply threw away the umbrella and rushed to Xidacang like a drowned chicken.But this rain seemed to be a joke, the servant girl in brocade clothes ran to Xidacang in embarrassment, and the rain stopped.It happened to be seen by a group of workers, and someone bared their teeth and laughed.

"Are you laughing at you! If you don't hurry to work, what are you doing here? Looking for a fight!"

Su Yu said Lao Huang more than once, swearing all day long, he will definitely lead the child down.

The word "child" in Su Yu's mouth is just a pronoun, not just referring to children of age.

Look, Wang Xun, who never scolded others, also started to scold others.

But Lao Huang was very wronged. He said that he was originally a civilized, upright, and high-quality man, a person with noble sentiments and elegant pursuits. Later, he learned to swear from Chen Xun, Granny Niu, and Granny Ma after going to the Su family.

Su Yu sighed and said, this is a family tradition, passed down from generation to generation.

When it comes to Chen Xun and the second wife Niu Ma, Su Yu considers bringing them to Qin Palace for retirement.

"Where should I arrange them?" Su Yu liked the scenery after the rain, and wandered around the yard with his hands behind his back.

Lao Huang and Lao Lu followed behind the young master, watching the scenery together.Listening to the young master talking to himself, Lao Huang asked: "Why did the young master have to bring Chen Xun and the second mother-in-law Niu Ma to the Qin Palace? Can't you stay at Su Ji's house?"

Su Yu smiled: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. If you insist on staying there, Su Ji and Qing Shuilan won't go to Qin Palace to say anything. But Chen Xun and the others are not from the Su family, but they were prepared for me. Now They are old and have nothing to do, so what's the point of staying at Suji's house?"

Su Yu turned around: "They didn't regard Su Ji as a young master before, and they didn't have any feelings at all. Now they expect Su Ji to repay them, and it's a bit embarrassing for Su Ji."

Hearing this, Lao Huang and Lao Lu looked at each other.

Qin Wangfu seems to be very big, but it is really not easy to arrange three old slaves in it.

They can't be arranged in the princess's mansion, because they can quarrel the princess to death.The small guest room in front of the Palace of the King of Qin is not suitable either. Officials often come and go here, and it is very indecent for the officials to hear Chen Xun and the second wife, Niu Ma, swearing.

Could it be arranged to Xiaozhu?

The green bamboo building to the west belongs to Feng Yu, the Qinxiang building to the east belongs to Kong Ting, and the elegant building in the middle is used as a warehouse by the princess.

Further on, there is the big garden under construction. Arrange them in the big garden?

Thinking about it, it was the courtyard invested by Kong Ting. The rich sister of the Kong family was going to support a group of old slaves for the King of Qin just after passing through. Isn't this arrangement too much?
"If the young master finds it troublesome, then we don't want them at all. The old slave will find a place for them, and buy a few servants to support them in the old age." Lao Huang said with his hands behind his back.

Su Yu shook his head: "Serving the elderly is not an easy job, and you know the temper of Chen Niu and Ma. The best way is to let the three of them live together and take care of each other. Unless the three of them can't do it Now, then find someone for them."

Lao Lu frowned and said: "Young master, don't worry, this old slave will dig a hole, chop up the old cattle and horses with a knife and axe, throw them in the hole and bury them, so you won't worry."

Su Yu smiled bitterly: "You started talking nonsense again, if Chen Xun heard it, he would scold you for three days and three nights."

Huang Lu Ernu's words today were a little off-putting.Su Yu could hear that they meant to test.

Su Yu's attitude towards Chen Xun, Granny Niu, and Granny Ma today is also the attitude towards Lao Huang and Lao Lu in the future.So they care extra.

Seeing that Su Yu insisted on keeping the three old slaves in the palace, Huang and Lu were very pleased.They said that when the three old turtles came, the two of them would take care of them.If you dare to speak loudly, your teeth will be broken off, and your tongue will be cut off and thrown into the latrine.

Afterwards, Su Yu took Lao Huang and Lao Lu around the palace, and decided to arrange Chen Xun and the others to the Xiaodongcang on the east side of the Qin Palace.

In fact, it is very hidden here, and no one usually comes here.

Su Yu pointed to the roof and said: "Add one more floor, and there will be another observation pavilion on the second floor. The second mother-in-law Niu Ma likes to climb high to look out, let them see enough."

……

After a heavy rain, it did not cause floods, but it filled the newly dug pond in the big garden in the backyard.

The children ran over to play, and Wanyanqing actually found a fish there.

The fish is small, but it is a fish.

Everyone was very puzzled, no one put fish fry here, where did this fish come from?

At this time, there are different opinions. Some people say that the thousand-year-old grass seeds and ten-thousand-year fish roe are brought by birds, and some say that they are brought by rain.

Wan Yanqing felt that they were all talking nonsense, so she came to ask the all-knowing Brother Qin Wang.

But when she ran to Qin Wang Palace, she heard that something big happened.

The expressions of the people in the Palace of the King were serious and the atmosphere was oppressive, as if the Liang Dynasty was about to usher in another big battle.
