Faced with Liu Yin's doubts, Zheng Huchen took over the topic. As the leader of the Song Dynasty's secret intelligence agency, he understood the dark side of society better, and the current identity of an "old official" is also more convincing.

After the Yuan Dynasty pacified the Southern Song Dynasty, the rulers adopted relatively rough management of the Jiangnan region, so that the ruling forces could not penetrate into the grassroots society, and did not rely on the local famous landlords and gentry to manage it. However, the status of the Han area was too important. The tax grain for the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and Jiangxi in the old southern Song Dynasty alone collected 6,496,018 stones, accounting for more than 50% of the total tax grain in the country.

Under such circumstances, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty had to follow the economic development model of the original Southern Song Dynasty. On the basis of retaining the original tax system, the Yuan Dynasty government also recognized and protected the original feudal land possession relationship in the south, and then allowed the development of the landlords and people-enriching groups. In a sense, this was also considered a "win-win": the military and national needs of the Yuan Dynasty were guaranteed to the extravagant life of northern aristocrats and bureaucrats, and the interests of southern landlords were also "maximized".

Under the protection of this "leniency" policy, the power of southern landlords was viciously expanded, and the people even said that "a family dominated a village, and the common people were intimidated and called a wild emperor." Therefore, even if the seme merchants in the Yuan Dynasty set the "pop-buy" amount high, they would not affect the interests of these landlords, because all the taxes and the part that tax-bearers had filled their own pockets were pressed on the self-cultivated farmers.

Some people have suggested that the phenomenon of land owners hiding land in the south of the Yangtze River is very prominent. If "the method of inspection and overcoming is carried out again, it will benefit tens of millions of land." Logically speaking, this is a matter that was beneficial to the Yuan Dynasty, but the officials at that time suspended the implementation under the pretext of "in the ten years of peace in Jiangnan, households have fixed households and land have fixed acres. Once there is a wavering, the harm will not be detailed." The reason is nothing more than worrying about affecting the interests of the "rich people" group.

Under all kinds of oppression, some bankrupt farmers, although they had already "land entered other households", still had to pay taxes and had to "escape from all directions". In addition, under the banner of "leniency", the rich landlords enjoyed the superior treatment of "no titles and towns but no titles and towns, but no seals but the power of the government". They oppressed the people and did everything. The people in various places were desperate and had to take risks.

According to statistics, in the 20th year of Zhiyuan alone, the uprisings of Jiangnan people "raised each other" were "more than 200 places"; by the 26th year of Zhiyuan, it increased to "more than 400 places". In Chinese history, it was rare for people to rise when the dynasty was first established. In the final analysis, the "grassage team" of the Semu merchants in charge of the family is probably to blame...

"After the recovery of Jiangnan, the Central Plains said that His Majesty wanted to slaughter Yuan officials, persecuted the gentry, and forced the land and property of wealthy families, causing the scholars in the Jiangnan region to complain and the public's opinion was boiling. It was probably because of this!" Liu Yin, listening to the evil deeds of Zheng Huchen's description, colluding with the gentry of Jiangnan, was also silent for a long time.

"Yes, this is why it is in it!" Zhao Bing took the pot that killed the squire without hesitation.

"Your Majesty suppressed the local tyrants and evil gentry and confiscated their land and property, but did not enter the royal treasury. Instead, the confiscated land was divided into the landless people, and the property was used to improve people's livelihood, repair water conservancy, and restore production. The complaints were those evil gentry who used to be accomplices for tigers in the past, and the people all cheered and praised Your Majesty as a benevolent monarch. Now the people in Jiangnan have land, households have surplus grain, residences have fixed places, and winter clothes are a hundred times stronger than when they were in the Yuan Dynasty." Zheng Huchen said.

"I know that businessmen ruined the country and damaged the government, but I also heard that Your Majesty made contributions in government affairs, focusing on industry and commerce, and neglecting farming. Are you not afraid of repeating the same mistakes in the future?" Liu Yin asked again.

"Haha, this is wrong. Your Majesty emphasizes industry and commerce, but it is the right thing to pay attention to agriculture and commerce, develop industry, and emphasizes that agriculture is the foundation of all industries, rather than abandoning agriculture and neglecting agriculture." Zheng Huchen explained, "In addition, Your Majesty will trade overseas, sell domestic production to foreign vassals, earning gold and silver; and selling overseas jewelry and spices back to the country, which solved the shortage and paid commercial taxes to the court. What's wrong with this act of benefiting the country and the people!"

"Our court has long had laws, which strictly prohibited officials from doing business with their close relatives, and the military was even more prohibited from doing business. Violators would be punished severely. This avoided collusion between officials and businessmen and corruption and abuse of power for profit. In addition, our court strictly prohibited private transactions and granting land, avoiding land annexation, resulting in the displacement of the people. He also selected officials to manage rural affairs, so that those gentry could not interfere in local affairs and do things that disrupted the people's affairs!"

"In this way, I listened and believed it, and had some misunderstandings about it!" Liu Yin roughly understood the 'truth', but he also thought that the old official did not dare to speak nonsense because the emperor was in front of him, but instead made some reservations and half-believing and half-doubting.

"As the saying goes: Seeing is true, hearing is false, and you can go to Jiangnan to take a look in the future. If there is anything wrong, you can tell me!" Zhao Bing saw that he still had reservations, but being able to speak out openly and honestly would be considered a progress, and said with a smile.

"Okay, Caomin had already planned to visit Jiangnan, but it was difficult to do it. If he was lucky enough to die, he should look at Jiangnan under His Majesty's rule!" Liu Yin said very happily.

"Sir, if you want to go there, I can make proper arrangements!" Zheng Huchen said with a smile.

"Thank you, I'll be bothering you at that time!" Liu Yin did not refuse to bow.

"Haha!" Zhao Bing laughed dryly. If he knew Zheng Huchen's true identity, he would probably avoid it and would not dare to disturb him. When he saw Ruyi on the table, he picked up some hand and looked like a copper-bottomed gilt. If this thing is played with, it is usually made of jade or ivory, and metal is mostly used as decorations. He asked with a smile on his face, "Tinghan, is this for self-defense?"

"I suddenly felt itchy on my back and there was no suitable thing to use. I saw that there was such thing on the bookshelf and I took it over... Haha!" Zheng Huchen smiled embarrassedly.

"Oh, the old man is really a waste of resources when he uses this itching!" Liu Yin took him to look at him and said with a frown.

"It's just a good deal. This is just a return to its original purpose. It's just not a good idea. Mr. Jingxiu is so serious!" Zhao Bing said amused when he saw it.

What he said is also good. "The Essays of the Buddha" mentioned: "Ruyi, Fan Yun An Lu, Qin's words Ruyi. "Jinggui" says: "The ancient claws and sticks are also bones, horns, bamboo and wood, carved into human finger claws, and the handle can be about three feet long. There may be itchy spine and cannot be used to scratch. "Ruyi means human, so it is called Ruyi." Therefore, Ruyi is actually an evolutionary version of "ittingling".

"Your Majesty is right, but if I read this thing correctly, it should be from the Zhending Shi Mansion. It was the thing that Shi Zheng commanded the three armies and arranged troops to arrange the formation!" Liu Yin said.

"This... how is this possible!" Zhao Bing was shocked by Qiyan, and looked at the Ruyi in his hand again. It was just an ordinary Ruyi engraved with cloud patterns and branches. There was nothing surprising. Then he smiled and said.

Ruyi is very common in the palace. Not to mention the decorations carved on the door lintels and window lattices and screen walls, there are many Ruyi, which are made of various materials as ornaments and playful objects. However, the literati who set up a horse to kill thieves and dismounted horses must be the Wuhou feather fan and lunar scarf; the warriors are straight at the sword, and the more elegant ones are just brocade clothes and swords, and they use swords to dispatch the troops. But it is still unheard of to command the battle with a "tickling" one.

"I only heard that the scholars of the Wei and Jin dynasties were happy to talk, and they often brought Ruyi to the table. After drinking, the powerful minister Wang Dun sang with Ruyi and sang to express his mind. Wang Kai fought with Shi Chong, and Shi Chong smashed two-foot coral with iron Ruyi. He had never heard of Ruyi commanding the three armies to fight!" Zheng Huchen was a Jinshi and was also knowledgeable in his stomach. After thinking about it, no matter whether it was official history, no history had ever seen a record of a great god who led the army with Ruyi.

"Hey, the records in ancient times are not uncommon!" Liu Yin saw that both of them were disbelief, so he stroked his lower jaws and said proudly, "Xie An's younger brother Xie Wan was also a famous Qing sermon at that time. He was still arrogant when he was ordered to attack Yan State in the Northern Expedition. Xie An suggested that he comfort the generals. However, he pointed to the generals with Ruyi and said, "You are all powerful soldiers. The most important origin of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which aroused the anger of the generals. After the failure of the Northern Expedition, the generals wanted to find an opportunity to kill him!"

"During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Wei Rui, a famous general of the Southern Liang Dynasty, was riding a wooden car when he was in a battle with the Northern Wei army in the fifth year of Tianjian. He was holding a white horny Ruyi in his hand. He commanded the troops to fight. He won several rounds in a day, and the enemy generals were very afraid of his strength. When Emperor Gao of Qi, Xiao Daocheng, was not yet successful, was attacked by a strong enemy. He also used iron Ruyi to prevent accidents and wanted to replace the stick. Li Keyong of the Later Tang Dynasty also held Ruyi to dispatch the troops, and decided to fight the enemy on the battlefield!"

"When the Song Dynasty first established a country, Wang Zhaoyuan, an important official from Later Shu, heard that the Song army had arrived, threatened to lead 20,000 to 30,000 evil young men in Shu could defeat the enemy and take straight to the Central Plains. When they went on, they held Tie Ruyi to command the military. Zhuge Wuhou, but they were defeated and retreated back to Chengdu in a panic!"

"This thing is really useful. The sir is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I admire it!" Zhao Bing heard what he said is reasonable and well-founded and had to believe that Ruyi was once used as a baton. He waved Ruyi twice, but he thought it was strange, not that.

"Your Majesty is too good, but Caomin has only read a few more books!" Liu Yin bowed.

"Sir, you are too humble!" Zhao Bing looked at his complacency and couldn't help but think of Kong Yiji's expression when he showed off his thirty ways of writing, and bowed back to his gift.
