Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

Later generations always think that the Song Dynasty was wealthy. It was indeed wealthy, but it was not the people who were wealthy, but the imperial court.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the fiscal revenue reached 100 million yuan, far exceeding the previous Han and Tang Dynasties and the subsequent Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The limit of the Ming Dynasty was more than 20 million stone grains and more than 10 million taels of silver after adding three additional taxes, which was less than half of the peak of the two Song Dynasties.

In the Qing Dynasty, the level of silver has been maintained at 30 million taels to 50 million taels, which is about one-third to half of that in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It was not until the late Qing Dynasty, with the income from modern civilization such as customs trade, that the fiscal revenue of the Qing government began to skyrocket, but it only took a few decades.

Only the Song Dynasty maintained extremely high fiscal revenue.

High fiscal revenue is brought about by taxation that knocks the bones and sucks the marrow.

In addition to the two taxes, namely, rent and mediocrity.

There are so many miscellaneous taxes.

In addition to miscellaneous taxes, there are also assessments.

In addition, any profitable business will be government-run.

In the Song Dynasty, the price of table salt reached tens of fen per kilogram, and at its peak, it exceeded 100 fen.

This price is absolutely insane.

Wine, vinegar, tea, salt, iron, as long as you can think of things related to people's livelihood, were exclusively sold by the imperial court in the Song Dynasty.

In addition, the Song Dynasty was a rare dynasty that did not redistribute land from the beginning of the country, and could not refrain from annexing land. The status of civil servants and officials was extremely high.

This resulted in extremely tragic land annexation.

Especially in the north, large areas of villages and towns were controlled by aristocratic gentry families.

If these families didn't have private soldiers, they would actually be the aristocratic families of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

The Northern Song Dynasty was also the dynasty with the most peasant uprisings, the largest scale, and the highest frequency.

The large fields and manors in front of them all belong to the official and gentry families.

Many people would rather work as casual workers in the city than be oppressed and bullied as sharecroppers.

Much of the land was in depression.

Many fields are deserted.

Or the harvest is poor.

The national power of the entire Northern Song Dynasty was also in sharp decline.

The northern Song Dynasty's law of enclosing fields and the south's Huashi Gang would rapidly consume the modest national power of the Northern Song Dynasty in the next few years.

The emperor was fatuous and traitorous ministers were rampant, which further corrupted the government and gave rise to more oppression and bullying.

For example, Chai Jin and Chai Huangcheng, descendants of the Chai family royal family, own manors, bankers, and are famous in the world.

As a result, a single magistrate can destroy their family.

If not for Liangshan's rescue, the Chai family's uncles and nephews would have been tortured and killed in the state prison.

What would happen if something like this happened to civilians?

So...

Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Fang La, Song Jiang, Zhong Xiang, Yang Mo... a large number of peasant uprisings broke out in just twenty years.

Looking into the distance, Wang Lun's eyes were deep and distant.

Before that, he was considering controlling Liangshan.

Protect yourself first.

At this time, he had a vague feeling that in this era, even in the Water Margin world, he might not be able to just be a copycat leader.

Maybe we can go one step further and save this era!

……

In the evening, more than 800 cavalrymen began to set off towards Zengtou City.

Wang Lun activated the general card. it's time.

It lasts for 3 days after activation.

Excluding tonight and tomorrow morning, there is enough time.

We must withdraw even if we cannot defeat them, and we cannot fight a protracted war.

Not to mention the passage of time, Zengtou City was able to mobilize and arm more villagers.

Nearby states and counties will also send troops to encircle and suppress

【The general card has been activated. 】

With the confirmation of the system.

An extremely powerful force poured into Wang Lun's body!

The force value skyrockets instantly!

Wang Lun has a feeling that his current self can easily kill his previous self!

It seems that even though I have a God-rewarding system and practice hard every day... there is still a big gap between me and a truly strong person.

Fortunately, I have been making progress.

Sooner or later, you will cross that huge gap and become a true top powerhouse!

After adapting to his own changes, Wang Lun also looked around.

Unknowingly.

The cavalry team, which was originally a bit disorganized, suddenly became orderly.

The distance between the cavalry controls the forward speed of the war horses, and the knight's riding posture is more reasonable and saves energy.

It’s not just these details that have changed.

The momentum has also changed significantly.

Although the military discipline of the Liangshan Army had been improved, after all, they were still a gangster before. During the march, not only were the formations more chaotic, but there were also many small movements.

These guys are all bold, unruly and difficult to tame.

Wang Lun also planned to further enhance his prestige after conquering Zengtou City, and then further enforce strict military discipline.

Looking now, all I can see are silent and plain faces.

The original little moves are gone.

No one was whispering or laughing anymore.

You can't see the original expressions either.

Whether it was excitement, nervousness, passion, or a little fear, they all disappeared without a trace at this time.

Wang Lun understood instantly.

This is the real army!

This is the real elite force!

Not timid, not afraid, not nervous, and not too excited or excited to overdraw your spirit and body.

All for the coming war.

Avoid all unnecessary actions and emotions, just to adjust everything to the best state.

This kind of elite soldiers and horses cannot be built overnight.

This is the Tuifeng Battalion, an elite soldier who fought every day during the Three Kingdoms period, and continued to fight in high-intensity, high-intensity, extremely tragic conditions, and survived!

This kind of elite and powerful army needs to train for a long time and continue to fight before it can transform into what it is now.
