Fengqi Jingshi

Chapter 166 Partridge Flies (6)

The deep palace is lonely, counting beans to live, day by day from sunrise to sunset, Cheng Meiren feels that her time is stretched very long, remembering that she was sent to the palace when she was ignorant, and ignorant became a pet Concubine, she conceived a dragon seed in a muddleheaded way, and from then on the world became that little square.

It was late at night, as she stroked her flat belly, she thought of Emperor Zhao's tight coughs, and a chill came out from the bottom of her heart.In this deep palace, where should she go and live?

……

……

Shu Yao held a small note in her hand, and the resentment in her heart made her unable to even eat.The Dacheng Dynasty is like a beautiful lantern on the outside, it looks gorgeous, but it is empty inside, and it is like a tall ancient tree that looks luxuriant, but the trunk is rotten into mud.

Now that she finally knows the real reason why she was assassinated in the station, there are many more such things that may happen.Yang Wanguang, the magistrate of Jingzhou on North Jingbei Road, and Cao Wenyi, the magistrate, raised the poll tax by [-]% without permission.

Shu Yao read the small note again, and the lines of small words on it cut her heart like daggers: In the seventh year of Longhua, the flood in Ganyang County, Jingzhou killed 320 people, and reported it for disaster relief [-] and eight people died, but porridge could be used for people; the next year, the locust plague, thousands of miles of red land, no grains, starvation and death everywhere, the magistrate sent a messenger to relieve the disaster, but there was only water and no rice.

Jingzhou was originally a prosperous place with a large population. During the tenure of Yang Wanguang and Cao Wenyi, the population lost nearly [-]%, and the tax was reduced by nearly [-]%!
What is even more unbelievable is that Yang Wanguang and Cao Wenyi's performance appraisals every three years are still excellent, and the political achievements sent to Emperor Zhao are full of flowers and prosperity, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe.

Shu Yao resentfully crumpled the note into a ball.There is also civil unrest in Jingzhou, today here and tomorrow there, the gourd is suppressed and the gourd is turned on. She doesn't care too much about the stability of the Dacheng Dynasty's country and society, but sympathizes with those people who will be exploited even after death.

Seeing that it will be June, officials' performance appraisals will be sent to Beijing.And it is Prime Minister Liu who is in charge of official performance appraisal.

Shu Yao walked back and forth in her heart, remembering what Shen Junzhuo had just said about the lack of food and pay for the Northern Army, she always felt that these things seemed to be resolved at once.

The Dacheng Dynasty has existed for more than 200 years. Before Taizu, the world was divided into forty or fifty small countries, and there were constant wars between countries.Taizu's original official worshiped the general of the Hussars of the Zhou Kingdom. He was famous for not killing prisoners and loving soldiers like sons. Gradually, some small countries voted over, and their power became stronger and stronger. Finally, they broke away from the control of the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom. The army swept across thousands of miles, and soon realized the unification of the country.

Taizu absorbed the shortcomings of the previous dynasty's collapse, and no longer set up Jiedushi and Duhufu, but divided the world into 23 roads, each of which governed prefectures and counties, and prefectures and prefectures governed counties.In terms of army management, the generals were no longer allowed to collect food and salaries directly from the local government, but instead stationed troops on their own and collected food and salaries from the central government.

The northern army has been guarding the northern border and contending with the northern Huns.It is easy to find stones in the Gobi Desert, but it is difficult to find a place to farm.Therefore, the fields cannot be farmed, and the food and salaries can only be paid by the central government.

Now that the northern army's request has been handed over, they are anxiously waiting for food, but there is basically no money in the treasury.

But Shen Junzhuo was worried, even if Nannan Xia received silver and food, there was no way to transport it.The north-south canal has been blocked for two or three years, and even small boats are terrified, let alone big boats.
