I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

The two looked at each other and instantly understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

When such a decree is issued, their family will soon face ruin.

They have enjoyed wealth and honor for generations. It doesn't matter who occupies Yingzhou. As long as their interests are not touched, who is not kneeling?

But now Liu Sheng wants to nationalize all the land.

Then they will have nothing. It is one thing to ask for orders for the people, but the continuation of their own family is the foundation of everything.

Looking at their uncertain faces, Liu Sheng knew that the officer who was cut off was a straight-tempered man who spoke his mind straight away, and both of them had some small thoughts.

It seems that they are asking for help for the people, even at the risk of their own lives. In fact, they are standing on the moral high ground and blaming others. But once it is related to their interests, they will exclude dissidents.

And Liu Sheng was the dissident now, but they also heard the decisiveness in Liu Sheng's meaning.

If you don't agree, go to Soraka. Who is Soraka? That was a general who had just taken refuge with Liu Sheng, and was worried that he would not have a chance to perform.

But there was no immediate response: "General, this matter is important. I will go back and study it in detail, get a charter, and then report it to the general."

This was a test for them, but unfortunately, they failed the test.

At first, Liu Sheng really thought that they were the kind of good officials who would not even risk their lives for the sake of the people.

After Mi Xing's investigation, he discovered that the entire Yingzhou was controlled by eight major families, and almost all the people in Yingzhou were their slaves.

Or it is more or less related to these eight families.

These officials are also huatou people elected by several major families.

The Khitan had no good way to deal with these powerful clans. As long as they could not afford to rebel and pay enough taxes, they would just let it go.

But Liu Sheng obviously wants to touch their foundation.

The two of them left Liu Sheng's residence and asked his servants to invite people around. The two of them went straight to a mansion.

When they arrived, there were already more than a dozen people here, listening to music and watching a show, shaking their heads uncomfortably.

The two of them immediately drove out all the irrelevant people.

Someone asked displeasedly: "Master Sima, what do you mean by this? He hurriedly asked me to come here, but didn't let me wait to listen to the music?"

The old man with a gray beard sitting at the top said: "Master Sima summoned me for something important, so let's talk directly."

Although the big family is united, there are also many internal battles.

The old man was of high seniority. He immediately fell silent as soon as he opened his mouth. Everyone looked at Sima and Lu Shi.

They knew that these two people had just come out from Liu Sheng's place, so something big must have happened.

Sima Xianting Xinding sat down and took a sip of tea before speaking slowly.

"Liu Sheng is different from other officials. He wants to work for relief? He also wants to nationalize all the land."

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen people present shouted angrily: "Liu Sheng is so brave. Even when the Khitan was at its peak, he did not dare to touch our family.

You didn't even try to appease us when you first arrived, but you still want our land? "

When Cai You wanted us to help defend the city, we were rejected.

Where did Liu Sheng get the courage? Didn’t he also rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty?

Are you going to kill us all when we get to Khitan?

"We never agree. Even if Liu Sheng gives money to buy it, we will not sell it."

A group of people expressed their dissatisfaction with Liu Sheng righteously.

The recorder slowly raised his tea cup and kept blocking the tea foam and said: "I heard that Liu Sheng didn't mean to discuss it, but to inform him. From the look of him, it doesn't look like he would buy it with money."

He enforces it even if we don't agree with it.

They have forcibly eliminated all the clan forces in Shuozhou, and I estimate that I, Yingzhou, will be next.

Another person stood up and said: "Does the court know that he did this? You must know that the Song Dynasty also used scholar-bureaucrats to rule the world."

Another person sighed and said: "Now the imperial court is using troops, and Liu Sheng has soldiers. Last time I saw him beating a big official in the imperial court, there has been no punishment. I'm afraid we can't escape this time." .

The one who spoke first before said: "We should not have stopped Liu Sheng from building the igloo in the first place. If we just fooled a few people into freezing to death in the igloo, we would definitely create a huge public sensation and prevent Liu Sheng from coming to Taiwan.

Now that he has gained great popularity in Yingzhou, he can do anything he wants with just one sentence. "

They didn’t know that igloos could be inhabited. In the past, the herdsmen who lived outside Maodong relied on building igloos to survive. However, they were not willing to implement the plan to make the people live a better life. They only had difficulties for the people to live in. In the coming spring, they will Only in this way can the people's little land be bought at a very low price.

Don't talk about inciting public opinion now, as long as Liu Sheng releases the news that he will give them all the land.

Anyone who dared to say no would be able to tear them apart without Liu Sheng taking action.

With this move, Liu Sheng not only instantly gained a huge reputation, but also made those idiots turn towards him.

Those mud-legged people are usually afraid of them, but if someone supports them, they will hate them.

After everyone discussed, no good regulations came up. Finally, Sima made a final decision: "For the current plan, the only way is to report to the court and inform Liu Sheng, hoping that the court can contain Liu Sheng. There is no other way."

At this time, someone stood up and said, "There is another way." Everyone heard this and went out, full of joy.

I saw the man saying: "Everyone in your family keeps a dead man, and it is time for this family to use it when it is about to survive.

There must be hundreds of people in our family together. I don't believe Liu Sheng. He talks about having a large army with him all day long.

There are less than a hundred guards around Liu Sheng, as long as Liu Sheng is killed.

We made some arrangements up and down and asked the court to send another official, and the matter was over.

What do you guys think? "

Sima and Lushi felt it was inappropriate, because they would have to die if the move succeeded.

Some are silent and others are thinking. This is a general leading an army, not the kind of civil servant sent by the imperial court with only a few followers. If the civil servant is killed, he will be killed.

It's not like they haven't done this before. They can just pay a little money and say they've encountered bandits, and they can get rid of the problem.

But this is a general who is leading an army. Killing a general who is leading an army has serious consequences! First of all, his soldiers would most likely massacre the city without restraint and hatred.

Someone hesitantly said: "Maybe we can use some money to transfer him through the imperial court?"

Just when everyone was doubtful, the old senior from before made a final decision: "If Liu Sheng dies, your family and I will not be able to continue. He is going to destroy our roots. Why are you still hesitating?"

Count on the court? The Khitan and the Song Dynasty are at loggerheads. At this time, the court will reprimand Liu Sheng at most, but it will arouse the ferocity. If we ignore him and kill everyone, we will really have no chance at all. "
