The 223rd chapter Cai out of the new policy Yang reform
When the old party is purged, there must be a new policy.
Cai Jing wrote a letter of ten thousand words and started the reform of salt and tea. Salt and tea were huge profits, and the monopoly policy of government acquisition and local government acquisition was abolished. All businessmen who wanted to sell salt and tea had to go to Bianliang to ask for salt and tea.
As a result, the wealth of the world once again tilted towards Bianliang, which also helped the court to control the local area to a greater extent.
Yang Lin was slightly uneasy about this. The Song Dynasty was too weak. Strengthening the main Kaifeng Prefecture and weakening the local counties made the already weak local counties even more unbearable.
But this time the old party was purged, allowing Cai Jing to flourish. Yang Lin thought that he was unable to stop Cai Jing's new policies, and it would make the court richer, and the emperor would definitely agree with it.
In order to avoid the limelight of Cai Jing's new policy, Yang Lin decided to go to Kaifeng Mansion to carry out some rectification.
The prosperity of Kaifeng Prefecture makes people here not want to farm, and the problem of abandoned farmland around it is very serious.
The dignitaries and scholar-bureaucrats in Bianliang occupied a large amount of fertile land, but they did not care about the harvest. As a result, farmers and tenants starved to death on the streets in many places, while large areas of land were left uncultivated and turned into outing manors or hunting pastures for the entertainment of the powerful.
Every time the weather changes and the water level of the Bianhe River becomes unstable, Kaifeng Prefecture will fall into a food crisis.
It was because the surrounding fertile fields did not produce food that Cai Jing started to do business, and Yang Lin decided to solve this problem first.
The left and right are just some property belonging to the rich and powerful. At worst, they can be taken back and reused. The honors and nobles of the Song Dynasty are not valuable.
Yang Lin had already used them to establish his power more than once, and he didn't care about offending a few more.
Cai Jing's new policy made all the officials and people in Bianliang applaud, and Yang Lin's memorial came immediately after.
Young Prime Minister Yang Lin, who has been in the limelight recently, actually petitioned the court to take back the land that had been abandoned for more than seven years and auction it to the people.
The proceeds from the auction were used to purchase cattle, develop water conservancy projects, and vigorously encourage farming in Kaifeng Prefecture.
As soon as this policy came out, Bianliang exploded. Anyone with uncultivated land wanted to swallow Yang Lin alive.
The people at the bottom of Kaifeng Mansion were somewhat happy, but few thought Yang Shaozai could succeed this time.
There are also some people, such as Cai Jing, Wang Fu and others, who were not originally nobles and did not have any land in Kaifeng Prefecture. They all wanted to wait for Yang Lin to succeed and come to buy land.
For a time, Bianliang Xun and his relatives were jumping up and down, and everyone in the general family was gnashing their teeth and sending people to cultivate their own land.
Outside Bianliang, Shi Anxun, the eldest son of the Shi family, led a group of generals to confront a group of forbidden troops.
The Shi family is a descendant of Shi Shouyi, the founding general of the Qin Dynasty. He first became an official in the Zhou Dynasty and participated in the Battle of Gaoping and the Battle of Huainan. He moved to command the capital in front of the palace, and became the military governor of Yicheng Army. He and Zhao Kuangyin became brothers with different surnames.
Become a member of the "Ten Brothers of the Charity Society".
Before Huangpao joined him, Shi Shouyi's status was even higher than that of Zhao Kuangyin, but he was later relieved of his military power, which was the famous "Release of Military Power Over a Drink of Wine".
After relinquishing his military power over a glass of wine, Shi Shouyi devoted himself to amassing money and accumulated a fortune of tens of millions, earning a large family fortune for his descendants.
Around Kaifeng Mansion, the Shi family owned large areas of fertile land. Except for the manor for their own food, it was all turned into wasteland.
Shi Anxun frowned, looking at the general opposite, his eyes were about to burst into flames: "Gao Bian, Wang Zhen, a good dog doesn't block the way!"
Wang Zhen is a descendant of Wang Dao, a famous minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the eighth grandson of Wang Tuan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He is also a tiger general in the Forbidden Army.
Historically, when the Jin Dynasty attacked the Song Dynasty, Tong Guan abandoned Taiyuan and returned to the capital, leaving Wang Zhen as the deputy general manager of the capital and commanding the soldiers of the Xuanfu Division to guard Taiyuan. In June of the first year of Jingkang, except for the military envoy of Jianwu Army, in September, Taiyuan's reinforcements were cut off.
The army and the people were deprived of food and the city was trapped. They fought in the streets with their exhausted soldiers, were shot dozens of times, and then threw themselves into the river and died. The army defended Taiyuan Fan alone for more than 250 days.
Now he is still a young general, following Gao Yanei and being ordered to guard against nobles coming to reclaim wasteland.
We were all members of the Forbidden Army, and we always met each other in the Privy Council. We also drank and had fun together in our spare time.
Now that two people were blocking the front, Shi Anxun was particularly angry, and he was also a little angry when he spoke. Especially in the wasteland next to him, there were a group of men lying around, all of whom were sent by the Shi family to reclaim the wasteland.
Gao Bian snorted coldly and raised his nostrils to the sky: "Shi Datou, please keep your fucking mouth clean. We are patrolling Kaifeng Mansion on the emperor's order to guard against thieves like you.
The Young Master has an order that all properties that have been abandoned for more than seven years will be taken back to the imperial court. See for yourself, all these fertile fields in your family have been built into damn Cuju fields."
Shi Anxun jumped to his feet and said: "Gao Bing, you little maid raised a bird-bearing hozen, a spine-breaking thieves, didn't you borrow this Cuju venue last month with your friends and a group of prostitutes?
You are having fun playing Cuju, and if you are wise, step aside quickly, otherwise I will recognize you, and my fist will not recognize you."
Gao Bian rolled up his sleeves and cursed loudly: "Shi Datou, it's not illegal for me to bring prostitutes to play Cuju, but it's not okay for you to waste fertile land. Anyone who dares to cultivate land temporarily under the orders of the young master is committing the crime of deceiving the emperor! I'm here to save you.
Don’t be ungrateful, if Shao Zai sees it, how will you end it?"
"Fuck you, when did you start worrying about the country and the people in your senior year of high school?" Shi Anxun was so angry that he laughed: "Wang Zhen, what do you say?"
Compared with these dandy boys, Wang Zhen was a little dull and showy. He said with a stern face: "Military orders are like mountains."
"Okay, you rip-offs are actually helping outsiders to rectify our imperial army. I have to go there today. If you can, stop me."
Although Gao Bian has a fierce face, after all, he is a brother who grew up together and is a member of the Imperial Army, so how could he kill him?
On the other hand, Wang Zhen didn't say a word for a long time. When he saw that Shi Anxun was about to force his way in, he immediately drew his sword.
When Shi Anxun saw the blade, his eyes were filled with tears and he was about to get angry.
At this time, a carriage came slowly, and the curtain was opened. The first person to come out was a girl in a yellow shirt, with a pretty face, a tall figure, and a figure as graceful as a jade tree. She glanced around, then bowed and opened the curtain.
After the master came out, the girl in yellow shirt returned to the carriage.
Wearing a moon-white brocade robe with dark patterns of flowers and branches, he has a tall and straight figure, a nose that looks like a hanging gallbladder, eyes like bright stars, long eyebrows that fly into the temples, and an air of magnanimity in his movements. It is obvious that he has been on top of others for a long time and has a magnanimous and commanding style, which is exactly what he was doing at that time.
Yang Lin, the Young Master of the Chao Dynasty.
As long as you don't open your mouth, you will truly look like the number one scholar. Unfortunately, it's impossible not to open your mouth.
"Damn it, I heard you making noise here even though we were ten miles apart. My ears were deafened. Who will pay for it?"
After all, Gao Bing was nostalgic and said with a smile: "Young Zai, a servant of the Shi family felt sorry for his master's wasteland. He secretly came to reclaim the land behind the Shi family's back. I beat him up and informed the Shi family to come and get him."
