Chapter 395 Shi Kang!
Chapter 395 Shi Kang!
This person is from the Duke of Wei family, named Shi Kang.
His family still has a very high status. His ancestor Shi Shouxin followed the army to fight at that time when Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty. He served as the regional governor and the imperial secretary. He was later named Duke.
After his death, he was even crowned as King of Qin, Prince of County, etc.
Although he died in his fifties, the rights and status of those who can be enthroned as Dukes in the world can be imagined.
Moreover, the Duke is hereditary, so he was inherited.
Although Shi Kang is just a descendant of the family, not a Duke. He is just doing business for the family, his status is not comparable to that of ordinary families.
When Shi Kang saw everyone gathering here, he did not get up to greet him, but said slowly: "You can come to this banquet, so that we can save face from our Shi family!"
Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "You are welcome. It is my honor to be able to attend the party invited by Lord Shi!"
Manager Rong nodded too.
Shi Kang said directly: "This time we gather everyone here is for Yan Yun's problem this time!"
Shi Kang: "We are all well-known figures in Yunzhou, but since the King of Yan came up, the fertile fields in our hands have been taken back and they have to be controlled by the King of Yan everywhere. What new methods he used have made Yanyun feel chaotic.
Even those present, some of them were dismissed by him. I think this Yan King came to Yanyun to be a good thing for us!"
Zhang Cheng: "What the lord said is that our prefecture was doing well before, but it was replaced by the King of Yan, which caused us to lose a lot of benefits!"
"Whoever here has no fertile land? They were all taken away. Although Yan Yun belongs to the King of Yan, such a new law is really too unfavorable to us!"
"The newly appointed magistrate has replaced many of our people. If the King of Yan had not been too famous, he would not have been able to be arrogant!"
Shi Kang frowned, and was also a little annoyed.
Zhang Cheng: "The King of Yan is just a bad star to us. Now that he has come to Yunzhou, our lives may be even more difficult!"
Zhang Cheng is a small official in Yunzhou and his position is not very large, but he is a little unhappy when he is being managed by the new magistrate. If he is not satisfied, he will be scolded or even dismissed from office, so he is also cautious.
The magistrate here was promoted by the Wuzhi Government Affairs Department to take office.
Since Wu Zhi was the King of Yan, the people he promoted were still very powerful, and no one dared to move around at present.
But it does not mean that they are willing to be constantly suppressed by the King of Yan.
These people are the interests of the King of Yan’s new law.
Think about it, if the King of Yan wants to govern Yanyun, or to make the world more stable and the Song Dynasty stronger, it will inevitably weaken the bureaucrats and the upper class.
And the world is in the hands of these people, and their influence and strength have led to the hardships of the people.
If you don’t suppress them, how can you make the world stable?
How did the Song Dynasty perish?
It was not this group of people that caused the people to be unstable and gave birth to many rebels. In addition, various problems among the bureaucrats, eating money from the treasury and not doing practical things, doing things on the outside but doing things at the same time, etc. These series of problems combined were attacked by the Jin Kingdom.
Wu Zhi wanted to dismantle these internal problems, which would cause damage to these people.
Wu Zhi's own people from Yanyun's territory dared to gather together to discuss the matter of resistance, and he was very unhappy when he saw that the King of Yan was.
What's more, the upper class of the entire Song Dynasty.
Shi Kang said: "After King Yan was enthroned, Yan Yun was his fiefdom, but he caused us to lose so much as soon as he came. Now he controls the price of grain, which makes us lose a lot of money in vain. Just now, the news that the younger brother of King Yan killed the prefect and several grain merchants there in Jinzhou!"
"It seems that he is determined to rectify it!"
Zhang Cheng sneered: "Didn't this Yan King rely on the government's attention? If one day the government does not like him, he is nothing. It's your Shi family who is truly considered a noble!"
Shi Kang felt very comfortable when he heard this.
This is typically flattery.
If you want to compare with the King of Yan, the Shi family cannot compare with anything. Everything the King of Yan does is a major event.
Who can compare to the destruction of the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom?
However, the Shi family is the largest here, so they are naturally complimenting themselves. Moreover, Zhang Cheng was indeed suppressed by the new law of King Yan and lost a lot, so he was naturally unhappy.
Shi Kang said: "Just jokingly, our Shi family and the King of Yan are still incomparable. Even in their heyday, they are not comparable. Moreover, the Shi family has declined now!"
"We have all deprived us of our new laws now. Today, the Duke of the State asked me to call everyone to discuss this matter!"
Manager Rong also said, "It's just that this King of Yan is not easy to deal with. This person is decisive, good at literature and martial arts, and with the title of king, we will be subject to his control. It's really not easy to deal with!"
Shi Kang nodded: "What you said is not without reason. Now that King Yan is the biggest in Yanyun, we are naturally not his opponent. We will definitely not be able to deal with it openly. Moreover, I heard that this man is very skilled in martial arts. He once killed tens of thousands of guards in the Liao Dynasty Palace alone and dared not approach him. He retreated calmly. I have to say that this is a strange man!"
"But then again, before he came, we were in Yunzhou, and we were in full swing. We would do whatever we wanted. Once he came to take over, we would be restricted everywhere. If this person was not eliminated, I am afraid that everyone would have to finish the game in the end!"
Shi Kang: "As soon as this person comes, he weakens the official positions of many people in our Shi family and is demoted. Now he blocks our financial path. Haha, if he doesn't do this, it's fine for our Shi family. Now we can't make money, it's his wrong!"
Manager Rong said: "Mr. Shi is right. The price of grain cannot rise now. How much will we lose!"
Zhang Cheng: "This is because he can't make money, but King Yan cares about this and that. Those people don't have money to buy food. What does it have to do with us? Are we Yanyun short of people?"
"When Yan Yun rebelled, it was not done by these people. If I were the King of Yan, I would have let these people starved to death, which would be easier to manage!"
"But Yan Yun doesn't think so, what can I do?" Zhang Cheng shook his head.
Shi Kang said: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your family has 30,000 acres of land, which was also taken back by the King of Yan!"
When Zhang Cheng heard this, he looked angry: "Yes, 30,000 acres were taken away!"
Zhang Cheng's mood fluctuations are very strong.
A light flashed across Shi Kang's eyes: "And there is also the shopkeeper Rong. There are 10,000 acres in his home, and it was taken away by the King of Yan! Or, everyone here, who has not been harvested for good land? All the benefits are for him, King of Yan! Are you all willing?"
"Of course I'm not willing to give up!"
"No, I'm not willing to accept it!"
"But he is the King of Yan, what can I do?"
The crowd was indignant.
Shi Kang said: "The implementation of new laws has always been a harm to our interests. I think this new laws are something that harms the country and the people. Just as the princes and princes reformed the law before, they made the people live in poverty. Isn't that enough?
Which reform did not make the heaven angry and the people resentful!
This King of Yan is actually thinking about reforming and reforming, which is ridiculous!"
