Chapter 685: Civil Disturbance 3 "Haha" Kong Sheng laughed wildly: "This king is promoting the new policy of land reform in Jiangnan, touching the fundamental interests of the wealthy clans in Jiangnan.
Now there are rumors in the market that I, Kong, am the enemy of the entire Jiangnan giants, and there will be no good end in the future.
Now it seems that it is a word. ” "Many people, including those of you here, don't understand why Kong wants to carry out land reform in Jiangnan, seize land and property from wealthy families, and return them to the people.
It's not that Kong is full, and it's not that Kong wants to sell his reputation and reputation, but that Kong wants to do something that is really beneficial to the community. ” "Today, Kong is honest with you."
The smile on Kong Sheng's face disappeared: "When Kong was in Chang'an, he had a discussion with His Majesty. ” "According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, the population of Datang was close to 10 million households in the 15th year of Tianbao, nearly 50 million people.
After the war, the population of Datang today does not exceed 8 million households and 30 million people.
This is the data of the household department, there may be discrepancies, but the discrepancies should not be large.
Kong Sheng's voice was awe-inspiring: "I told Your Majesty that the data of the household department is not accurate, and the difference is huge.
According to Kong's judgment, Datang now has no less than 12 million households and a population of more than 60 million.
Why is the difference so big that the people of the household department are negligent in their duties, no, no" "This is a summary of the figures reported by the local government, and it will not be falsified."
Kong Sheng smiled coldly: "In other words, Datang has at least 30 million invisible people.
Wherever such a huge population goes, it is attached to the big families in various places, there is no household registration, the land is occupied by the wealthy, and the people are also taken captive as serfs by the family."
"This is not Kong Mou's nonsense, but there is real data to prove it.
Since the king promoted the land reform in Jiangnan, the land has been re-registered, the population has been cleared and naturalized, and 180,000 people have been naturalized.
This is just Jiangning, and looking at Jiangnan, and even the whole world, what a huge number it should be, everyone must be able to settle accounts, Kong will not go into details. ” "These people do not have a household registration, which means that the imperial court has lost a huge amount of taxes.
Kong made a rough calculation, if the invisible population in the world is re-registered and the land property is returned, within a year, the current tax income of the imperial court will at least quadruple.
Kong Sheng chuckled: "I won't tell you that Kong has already made this matter clear to the emperor, and I hope that the emperor can allow him to promote the transformation of land in the world and return the land to the people." ” "This is Kong's original intention, and there is no selfishness."
The corners of Kong Sheng's mouth twitched: "I am saying this here to tell you that no matter whether I, Kong, will be implicated because of the Deqing civil turmoil, I will not change the determination of the imperial court to promote land reform."
This is a national policy, which has been approved by His Majesty.
In the future, even if Kong leaves Jiangnan and changes to someone else, he will not give up the land reform halfway or tear it down and start over.
Because to put it bluntly, one thing is very important: this is a realistic measure approved by His Majesty to make great efforts, and it is not Kong alone. ” "I'll leave that at that.
Now that civil unrest is imminent, we cannot sit idly by.
Spread the king's military order: 500 people from the Jiangning Iron Cavalry Battalion will join the 1,000 people of the Jiangnan army to rush to Deqing with the king to quell the chaos, and there will be no delay" Kong Sheng suddenly shouted: "If you delay the military affairs, don't blame the king for turning his face and being ruthless, as long as the king is still in Jiangnan for a day, you must obey the king's orders, whoever dares to provoke the authority of this king, you might as well give it a try" Kong Sheng sneered and brushed his sleeves away.
Liu Pingshan and Yang Qi were left looking at each other with complicated expressions.
Kong Sheng's words were indeed a bit pretentious, which made them feel shocked in their hearts, if this was a decision approved by the emperor, then, even if Kong Sheng was overthrown, it would be useless, and it would not affect the imperial court's determination to pilot land reform in Jiangnan.
From the perspective of the interests of the wealthy family, this is an absurd decision, but from the perspective of the overall situation of the country and the imperial court, this seems to be a wise decision for the benefit of the country and the people.
But Song Ning was obviously dismissive and didn't believe it at all.
Song Ning sneered, hastily hugged his fist to Yang Qi, and then left in a hurry.
In Song Ning's view, Kong Sheng was simply bluffing and opening his mouth to intimidate this group of Jiangnan bureaucrats.
As for quelling the rebellion, it is simply a great joke that only 500 Jiangning iron cavalry and 1,000 Jiangnan troops can quell the civil unrest of more than 100,000 people After everyone dispersed, Liu Pingshan bowed deeply to Yang Qi and said lightly: "Lord Jun, this time Song Ning reported to the imperial court about the civil turmoil in Deqing, which is actually equivalent to participating in the emperor to participate in the King of Kongjun.
Yang Qi smiled coldly: "Liu Pingshan, the battle between King Kong and Song Ning has just begun, what's the matter, are you retreating Since you have already stood on the side of King Kong Jun, in the old man's opinion, you can only go one way to the dark, otherwise, you will sway from side to side and stand on the wrong side, but you will have to suffer." ” Yang Qi didn't save any face for Liu Pingshan.
The irony is nothing more than saying that since you have taken refuge in Kong Sheng in a hurry, it is too late to regret it at this moment.
Even if you turn to Song Ning, I'm afraid people won't take you seriously.
Liu Pingshan's face turned red, and he opened his mouth, but he closed it weakly.
He was indeed a little worried about Kong Sheng's future situation.
Because in any case, if there is a civil unrest in Jiangnan, the emperor will definitely hold Kong Sheng responsible.
In this regard, it is difficult for Kong Sheng to get rid of the criticism of the world.
Song Ning stabbed Kong Sheng in the back, and judging from the current situation, Kong Sheng seems to have no better way to deal with the situation.
"The two tigers are fighting, the victory or defeat is not yet known, Liu Pingshan, you and I might as well wait and see what happens."
Yang Qi smiled lightly and glanced at Liu Pingshan, but said meaningfully: "As long as the civil unrest can be quelled in the shortest possible time, the old man thinks that the emperor will judge it at his discretion." ” Liu Pingshan smiled bitterly: "Lord Jun, the king of the county only ordered a thousand officers and troops and five hundred people from the Jiangning Iron Cavalry Battalion to quell the chaos, I'm afraid it's just a bluff." ” "The Jiangnan battalion has tens of thousands of troops, why King Kong Jun only transferred 1,000 troops to the lower ranks, I really don't understand."
Yang Qi was silent for a while before he said: "King Kong Jun has always acted out of nowhere, and he can't be guessed by common sense.
Perhaps" Yang Qi "maybe" for a long time, but finally kept silent.
Yang Qi did have a guess in his heart, but he couldn't really communicate anything with Liu Pingshan.
He didn't know what Kong Sheng was going to do, but since Kong Sheng did it, he must have a certain reason.
According to Yang Qi's current understanding of Kong Sheng, this must be the case.

In fact, not only did Yang Qi and the Jiangnan officials not understand Kong Sheng's practice of only transferring 1,000 Jiangnan officials and troops to quell the rebellion, but even Li Biao and Li Hu, the generals around them, were also inexplicable.
In the eyes of Li Biao's henchmen, the so-called civil unrest is not terrible, and what can happen to the more than 100,000 people, as long as the officials and troops are cleared and suppressed in time, it is not a problem.
However, Kong Sheng only mobilized 1,000 men, and Li Biao and Li Hu had strong confidence in the combat effectiveness of their own troops, but they did not think that they could put down the rebellion of more than 100,000 people with their 500 iron cavalry alone.
But they didn't dare to ask more questions, and no one dared to raise so-called questions.
For so many years, Kong Sheng has always done things with his own opinions, and often his ideas and decisions are extremely wise and correct, which has been tested by countless facts.
Therefore, in line with 100% trust and loyalty to Kong Sheng, Li Biao and Li Hu are still ready to go on the expedition.
The study of the county king's house.
Kong Sheng sat behind the bookcase, his expression calm and slightly dignified.
Yuan Chao, on the other hand, looked respectful and slightly uneasy, quietly waiting by his side.
Kong Sheng abruptly summoned him, but after he came, he didn't say a word, which made Yuan Chao's heart furious.
In fact, Yuan Chao had some guesses in his heart, knowing why Kong Sheng was looking for him.
At this moment, Yuan Ying, who raised troops in Deqing, is his cousin, and originally, rebelling against the government and fighting for the people to survive is something that the two have been planning for a long time.
It was only later that Yuan Chao came to Jiangning, and was accidentally reused by Kong Sheng to implement the policy of land reform, which made Yuan Chao see the hope of returning the land to the people and the world, and Kong Sheng did not hesitate to be the enemy of the powerful families in Jiangnan for the interests of the people and the country.
Yuan Chao sent a letter to Yuan Ying privately, hoping that Yuan Ying would stop the trouble, and it would be best to come to Jiangning to help him do things.
But now the facts have proved that it is obvious that Yuan Ying did not take his advice to heart, and still raised troops to rebel against the government according to the established plan.
But the relationship between Yuan Chao and Yuan Ying is unknown in Jiangning City, and Yuan Chao doesn't know how Kong Sheng is so insightful.
"Yuan Chao, then Yuan Ying, you may be able to speak," Kong Sheng said in a low voice.
Yuan Chao smiled bitterly, didn't dare to deceive, and said in a muffled voice: "Back to the county king, Yuan Ying is Yuan Chao's brother, but" "It shouldn't have been a year and a half since the two of you planned to start an incident, since you still stayed by Kong's side to do things with peace of mind, and didn't return to Deqing to take the lead, obviously you recognized what Kong did" Kong Sheng smiled and waved his hand: "You don't need to deny it."
As for your origin and past, Kong knows everything well.
Since I am honest with you today, I don't have the slightest suspicion, so you don't have to worry. ” Yuan Chao was silent, and after a long time, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said angrily: "Back to the county king, the villain did have the heart of trouble at first, and he planned in Deqing for a long time.
It's just that after coming to Jiangning that day, the villain was entrusted with a heavy task by the county king, which made the villain see the hope of fighting for the livelihood of the people through official means, since this is the case, why should the villain make a big move and risk the danger of being beheaded to do rebellious things, the villain wrote to persuade Yuan Ying, but Yuan Ying insisted on not complying, this Deqing chaos, in fact, has nothing to do with the villain. ” Kong Sheng smiled and nodded: "I understand, I don't mean to blame you, I'm just asking you, if you go to Deqing on behalf of Kong to talk to that Yuan Ying, you can be sure that he will let him stop the sword soldiers so as not to harm the people of Jiangnan" oshow7 t1706231537:
