I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

When all the village elders came up with the results, Liu Sheng also fetched the last bucket of water for Yu Hui's family.

"General, sit down and have a rest and eat some cakes." Liu Sheng rejected Yu Hui's kindness and looked at the firewood beside him and said, "Let me help you chop these firewood."

There was not much firewood, just a little. Liu Sheng reminded: "Girl, this winter will be difficult with such little firewood. You should prepare more."

Yu Hui smiled and said: "General, I don't know. These firewood are just fire starters. Now everyone uses black charcoal."

After that, he took Liu Sheng to open a warehouse filled with coal.

Liu Sheng was a little puzzled. Did China start using coal so soon?

When staying in Shuozhou, in addition to the geographical location, the most important thing is to value the coal underground in Shuozhou. Although there are not as exaggerated large-scale open-pit coal fields as in Datong, the reserves cannot be underestimated and they are easy to mine.

Since the Khitan began to use coal as heating fuel in winter, Liu Sheng had to consider the importance of Shuozhou to the Khitan. Even if Emperor Tianyi was in trouble, the Han group in charge of the Yanyun area would not give up without Shuozhou. This cake.

"What's wrong, General?" Yu Hui asked, looking at Liu Sheng who was stunned.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something." Liu Sheng smiled awkwardly.

But Yu Hui said: "The general has done so many things. I'm afraid he's tired. Go and have a rest. I'll make a cup of tea for the general to relieve his fatigue."

Liu Sheng did not refuse. At this time, Yu Fei ran over and called brother-in-law.

Liu Sheng looked around and saw that there was no one there, but the door remained the same.

Yu Fei shouted twice more, and then Liu Sheng realized that he was calling him. He touched Yu Fei's little head and said, "I'm not your brother-in-law, I'm just passing by your house."

But Yu Fei shook his head like a rattle, "My mother and father said when they were still alive, as long as my sister lets a man enter this house, and that man helps us work and my sister doesn't refuse, that person will be my brother-in-law. "

"Yeah, pretty good."

Liu Sheng suddenly reacted, but he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, "Your family still has this rule, and you didn't tell me when I came in before!"

But Yu Fei said with an innocent face: "I didn't want you to come in earlier and my sister scolded you."

"This..."

It's hard to fault Yu Fei's words. It was Liu Sheng who insisted on coming in before.

Thinking of this, he picked up his sword and panicked, and left Yu's house as if fleeing.

Yu Fei picked up the wooden stick and chased him to the door and shouted: "Brother-in-law, where are you going? Are you coming back for lunch?"

Liu Sheng was so frightened that he hid in the crowd without standing out or making a sound. As a man in two lifetimes, how had he ever encountered such a thing? But if you think about it carefully, it wouldn't be bad if you could get a beautiful girl like Yu Hui to be your wife, but it's a pity...

Liu Sheng laughed at himself: "It's a pity that I am like a withered leaf, floating between heaven and earth. I don't know where to land. How can I dare to settle down? I can't take a girl and a child to escape the world."

Liu Sheng's embarrassment made the soldiers around him laugh and say: "General, this speed is good, my brother-in-law has called me, are we going to have a wedding tonight?"

Liu Sheng said fiercely: "If you continue to talk nonsense, it will mess up this girl's innocence. I will pull out your tongue."

At this time, the township head also rushed over and expressed his willingness to restore the rule of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Liu Sheng began to waver. Everything was fine in this village. Before they came, they were peaceful, harmonious, and free from the world.

However, he coaxed them into disrupting the Khitan's public order and delaying time for himself, and a sense of guilt suddenly came to his heart.

Liu Sheng couldn't bear it, because he wanted to start in another hometown because of a person.

But at this time, the township head wanted the so-called land equalization order that Liu Sheng said, and kept asking how much the Song Dynasty paid taxes on these newly attached lands.

Liu Sheng thought for a while and then shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind. He was responsible for the more than 1 brothers who trusted him.

How could a woman whom he had only met a few times and whom he had not spoken to even ten words, be compared with his brother?

What's more, they went all the way south and west, passing through many villages and counties along the way. No matter how crazy the Khitan was, they couldn't kill them all.

With a sense of luck, Liu Sheng started arguing with the township chief again.

"Our new law in the Song Dynasty abolished taxes and poll taxes. All taxes were calculated according to acres of land. If you have land, you pay taxes. If you don't have land, you don't pay taxes. All taxes are divided into acres.

The maximum yield per mu is 10%. A dedicated tax officer will explain the details to you. In addition, [-]% of the land is set aside for each year's newborns.

After death, the land belongs to the country and is redistributed. There is no inheritance after the death of the father and the son. "

After hearing this, the township chief was filled with surprise. He threw away his walking stick, looked at Liu Sheng with disbelief and said, "Are you telling the truth? Abolish the tax? No head tax? Do you have land to pay the tax?"

Liu Sheng shook off the old man's hand, shook his arms and said to himself: "Although the old guy is old, he is still very strong."

Liu Sheng said without blushing: "Of course it is true. You will know when the new tax judge arrives in a few days."

The fellow village chief shouted "Hello" and knelt down in the direction of Tokyo: "Long live my emperor, my emperor is wise."

Then the old man stood up and said to Liu Sheng earnestly: "General, can you go and annihilate the Hu family? The Hu family has been here for several generations, and the relationship is deep-rooted.

If the general keeps them, bad things will happen in the future."

Liu Sheng agreed without hesitation: "Yes, this is the purpose of our trip. Please tell us the location."

The head of the village told Liu Sheng that this land belonged to the Hu family.

Most of the land in Yunzhong County was equally divided among the four families, and there were high-ranking officials in the court. Worried that Liu Sheng would have no motivation, he specifically informed the Hu family that the prosperity of the Hu family and the rent they had just paid were still there because the war had not yet been resolved. Transport away.

They are all stockpiled in Yunzhong County and prepared to be shipped to the north.

"The general only needs to go to the clouds, not only to obtain a large amount of food, but also to completely eradicate these scourges."

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, head of the township, that is everyone's food. We won't ask for it, so we will get it for everyone."

There is a reason why Liu Sheng is so enthusiastic. All kinds of armaments are in stock. When the army goes on an expedition, he will bring more with him to avoid losses in the army. He will also supply some from the rear, but not too much. Most of them are arrows. Category.

However, there is only a fifteen-day supply of food. Every ten days, civilians will transport food from the rear to ensure the army's food supply.

After the defeat of the Song army, in addition to no longer being replenished in equipment, the most important thing was that there was no source of food.

He could grit his teeth and persevere in anything but a hungry stomach. The more he gritted his teeth, the more hungry he became, so Liu Sheng set his sights on these nobles.

In this era when everything is of low quality and only education is high, scholar-bureaucrats are undoubtedly the wealthiest group.

"The entire army must assemble." Liu Sheng ordered.

As a low horn sounded, soldiers from all directions continued to run towards the village.

At this time, a little man pulled Liu Sheng and said, "Brother-in-law, where are you going? Are you coming back for lunch?"

Liu Sheng couldn't laugh or cry. He knelt down and touched Yu Fei's head and said, "I'm not your brother-in-law, I'm a soldier. Your sister doesn't dare to deny me entry. I can do whatever I want, and your sister doesn't dare to stop me." of."

Yu Fei curled his lips and said, "Who said that? So many soldiers were blocked by my sister. Why did my sister let you in?"

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to answer.

But Yu Fei changed the subject and said, "Are you a good soldier? Why don't you dare to stop him?"

Liu Sheng said coldly: "Because we have knives in our hands, anyone who dares to refuse will be hacked to death."

Then he took out a dagger from his waist and handed it to Yu Fei and said: "Your parents are not here. You are the only man in the family. You must protect your sister. If one day you cannot survive, come to Shuozhou to find me."

He touched Yu Fei's head, turned around and mounted his horse and said: "The whole army sets off, Yunzhong."

Among the large number of onlookers, Liu Sheng saw the girl at a glance. She had a slim figure and a fair face, like a flawless jade. Her cheeks had a hint of crimson, as bright as the peach blossoms on the branches, and she had a faint smile on her lips. Her smile and two dimples made her look even more beautiful.
