I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

But Zhao Ji gave Liu Sheng a special reward and allowed Liu Sheng to return to the court to recuperate.

He also built a house for Liu Sheng next to his reclamation garden. Ever since the angel who delivered the message came back and described Liu Sheng, he always felt that Liu Sheng had some evil nature, and he felt a little uneasy if he left it unattended.

After giving some lovely wives and beautiful families, Zhao Ji felt that his reward was not low. Which piece of land next to the reclamation garden was not worth tens of millions of gold? How many people asked for it but couldn't get it?

Now that he had been rewarded with a piece of money to build a house for Liu Sheng, he didn't know how happy he would be. Zhao Ji couldn't wait to see Liu Sheng kneeling in front of him with gratitude.

.....

After Liu Sheng occupied Datong, Xijing, he sent people north to take over the passes. It turned out that there were Khitan defenders inside those passes, and there were quite a lot of them.

Liu Sheng did not give up and sent people east to take over the passes belonging to the Yunzhou boundary to the east. It turned out that there were still a large number of Khitan garrison stationed.

Only then did Liu Sheng realize that Yelu Chun had given Yunzhou, but not all of it.

Liu Sheng only occupied the main city population.

If you want to rely on Datong as a logistical transfer and go north to the grasslands, you have to go north to conquer those passes, and the same goes for going east. After Liu Sheng took over Yunzhou, he would be responsible for the livelihood of all the people in Yunzhou City.

The Khitans were unable to feed those people, so they left them all to Liu Sheng. After the Khitans took over, they could still easily capture Yunzhou.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Chun would play such a trick on himself.

But he is not worried that the Khitans are trying to blockade Liu Sheng, but the meaning of Datong is a logistics fortress, which can be attacked or defended.

As long as Datong is in hand, it is impossible for the Khitans to bypass Datong and go south.

Liu Sheng couldn't help but sneered, something was wrong.

Liu Sheng suddenly thought that if Yelu Chun blocked all entrances and exits in Yunzhou, he would have no choice but to go south and take a detour from Yingzhou to Yanjing.

Then Yelu Yanxi should not be able to escape in this area of ​​Yunzhou.

It was impossible for him to fly out from these passes, or Yelu Chun's back-up plan was to block Yelu Yanxi in Yunzhou.

No wonder Yelu Yanxi would stay in Xijing City, not going to Zhongjing or Nanjing, and not even having any guards around him. It turned out to be arranged by Yelu Chun.

Liu Sheng wanted to catch Yelu Yanxi, but Yunzhou was too big. It was unrealistic to catch Yelu Yanxi in the vast white snow. As long as he lay down in the snow nest, there would be no trace at all.

Yelu Yanxi led all cavalry and not much baggage. Even if the emperor suffered, he would run out when he could no longer bear the pain.

Liu Sheng was looking forward to it deep in his heart.

But the most important thing right now is how to arrange these more than 100 million people. Thinking of this, Liu Sheng suddenly got a headache again, and finally decided to use work as a relief. Even if they didn't have enough to eat, they couldn't be left idle, so he sent people from Yingzhou The rice was brought in, but it was enough to keep them from starving to death.

At this time, Mi Xing excitedly took Yunzhou's account book and ran to Liu Sheng, quite excited.

"General, I found rice grain."

Liu Sheng was a little surprised, then laughed loudly and said: "I just said, how could they take all the rice and grain away? They must have found a place to hide it."

"These rich people don't have all their thoughts in mind."

At this time Mi Xing shook his head and said: "The general is not the rice grain of those rich families."

He picked up the account book and handed it to Liu Sheng and said: "General, Lingguang Temple covers an area of ​​350 million acres and is tax-free."

Then I showed Liu Sheng a few more pages, all of which were temples, with tax exemptions at the back.

Mi Xing said excitedly: "General, these temples are full of money and food. How many people do they have in one temple? How much food can they eat? If we rob them, we will get rich."

Only then did Liu Sheng realize that the Khitan believed in shamanism. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large number of Han people poured in. In order to rule the local Han people, they introduced a large number of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, animals... and other Han culture.

When faced with the powerful Han culture, the Khitan local culture was no match at all and was quickly accommodated. Among them, the most widely spread was Buddhism.

Almost everyone in the Khitan believed in Buddhism, which was also the main reason why the Khitan's combat power was low and the government was corrupt in the later period.

Liu Sheng realized that as the capital of Xijing, Datong, there were many temples around it.

They also passed many temples on their way north, but they were all closed and no outsiders were allowed in or out.

Mi Xing took out another summary and said: "General, look at these are the lands occupied by major temples and the rewards from the Khitan emperors over the years."

Liu Sheng took a look, his eyes suddenly straightened, and there was a strong desire in his heart. What's mine is mine.

He had worked hard to copy those big clans, but he still had to bear the curses on his back. Now the big clans in Yunzhou fled when they saw him.

In fact, the greatest wealth is right in front of you, so what are you looking for?

As a time traveler, he actually forgot that there is a copy of Buddhism that can earn money and food.

Mi Xing continued: "This group of monks do not engage in production. They chant sutras all day long and have accumulated countless amounts of money and food. Why don't the generals send people to raid these temples? Firstly, they can relieve the current difficulties, and secondly, they can also increase a large number of labor forces."

Seeing Mi Xing who was a little eager to try, Liu Sheng stopped him and said: "Send someone to tell Wang Liao to conduct an inventory of all the temples in the four prefectures of Shuowu Huanying.

Is there any relief for this natural disaster?

According to the stipulated legal years, all monks must participate in hard labor.

The criminals are arrested and brought to justice. Buddhism is not a place outside the law. In a pure land, what are you doing with those yellow and white things? All temples were inspected and all property confiscated.

For each temple, each person is given 30 acres of land for them to farm.

In his spare time, he also had to work with the officials and allowed them to spread their Buddhist teachings.

Let Sima He from Yingzhou come to Yunzhou. "

White Gloves had to do what White Gloves should do. It was best to let the two of them do the things in Yunzhou. After the two of them arrived, Liu Sheng took the opportunity to leave Yunzhou and return to Yingzhou.

Give them the idea. As for how to do it, it is their business. Liu Sheng has no idea.

The scolding was also scolding Sima and Lu Shi. Liu Sheng found that it was important to have a good reputation.

Even if everyone knows that he authorized it, so what? Who has evidence?

Liu Sheng looked through the account books of these temples, and he was more and more surprised. This was only the land recorded on the surface, which already exceeded 1/8 of the registered land in Yunzhou.

I don’t know how many people are cultivating the land privately and who are not registered in the government.

The Khitan is indeed in decline. Not only the scholar family is lying on its body to suck blood, but also the Buddhist sect.

What is the tax for such a deed? What are you going to fight with? Maintain your huge territory.

In a country where all the people believe in Buddhism, decay is inevitable and they have to accept the changes. The Jurchens who followed inherited the Khitan culture, and some of their clans even became monks.

Jin Shizong suppressed the Buddha several times, but did not see any improvement, and then the Jin Dynasty declined.

A country where all people believe in Buddhism will decline sooner or later. For example, India has believed in Buddhism for thousands of years, and it is still like that.
