There were several hundred people sitting in the yamen of the prefectural commander of Yeongjiao County, Pyongan Province, North Korea, and more than a dozen people led by them had food and drinks in front of them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info County ordered Jiang Yousong to sit at the top of the hall, but there was no trace of the prestige of the superior. He nervously looked at the twelve "two classes" of powerful family heads sitting in the hall, as if he was looking at the faces of these people.

There are no provinces in Korea, and the whole country is divided into eight "provinces", with Pyongan Province being the most northwestern province. In each province, the DPRK set up administrative units such as prefectures, counties, and prefectures, which were modeled after China. The country of North Korea is divided into more than 500 counties, each of which is very small.

In North Korea, the arrogance between the government and the peasants was the "two classes" of aristocrats.

In Korean society, there were a wide range of nobles composed of officials left over from the previous dynasty and the nouveau riche of the current dynasty, and these nobles not only controlled the government, making the government make strict rules that non-two classes of nobles could not enter the government, but also controlled the local order. Locally, the Korean aristocracy was the landlord, the powerful and the leader of the peasantry.

Without the cooperation of the two local shifts, the magistrate's administrative orders were ignored.

Like the gentry of the Ming Dynasty, the two classes of nobles in Korea also adhered to the Confucian tradition and spread the culture of benevolence and filial piety. After the Tang Dynasty, China was unable to invade Korea, the threat of the Mongol Yuan was short-lived, and the centuries-old peaceful environment on the Korean Peninsula lacked external competition and pressure, which allowed Confucianism to flourish.

The interests of these two classes of local nobles were completely different from those of the Joseon royal family. The Joseon royal family was afraid of being overthrown by Yi Sik, but these two classes rooted in the countryside were not afraid.

The two classes in these places were dependent on the Korean peasants. And the peasants of North Korea have a much tougher style than the royal family of North Korea.

When Japan's Toyotomi Hideyoshi regime invaded Korea, it quickly occupied the entire territory of Korea in the big cities, but was sniped in the countryside. The peasants of Korea held the countryside with fence scythes, and the hundreds of thousands of Japanese invading troops could not grab grain and grass at all, and finally returned to Japan due to logistical problems.

It is precisely because the local peasants in Korea are relatively strong, so the emperor Taiji, who is as strong as Chongzhen for nine years, has never fought the idea of annexing Korea. Later Jin conquered Korea twice, but they came and went in a hurry, and they hurriedly left the Korean Peninsula after obtaining an alliance from the Korean royal family.

Compared to Lee's North Korean government, North Korea's grassroots farmers are the real force that guards the country. The two local classes are the spokesmen of these peasants.

Jiang Yousong raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Everyone is a righteous man in North Korea, and now Li Zhi, the prince of Daming Jinguo, has an order to ask for fifteen million taels of silver, and the court is in trouble, so everyone has a lot of money." The twelve heroes in our county raised 30,000 taels of silver, and it was not difficult to think about it! ”

However, he was met with an embarrassing silence. None of the heads of the twelve families of two classes of nobles raised their glasses.

The county magistrate put down his wine glass stupidly, looked at the two classes of nobles, and didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Cui Zhengwu, the head of the Cui family, broke the silence.

"What I saw was not 30,000 taels of silver, what I saw was the defeat of North Korea. Although the DPRK was founded on the principle of great affairs, it has not been destroyed for more than 1,000 years. Even if he was as strong as Meng Yuan at the beginning, he only won a gesture of submission from the king, and never plundered so much gold and silver from Korea. ”

"Never before have I paid so many fines for the wrong person to whom I have taken refuge."

"Now a Ming prince of Jinguo is not only not the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, but also not a prince and a county king. When he writes a letter, he will bankrupt the whole country. When he sent a letter, did he want all North Koreans to take out the only bit of silver they had accumulated at home, and hand over all their savings if the family was ruined? ”

Hearing Cui Zhengwu's words, the parents of the two classes of nobles nodded frequently, obviously appreciating.

The county commander's face became more and more ugly, and he said with a smile: "There are more than 20,000 people in this county, and handing over 30,000 taels of silver is only more than 100 catties of grain per person." I don't think the grain needs to be raised by the tenant farmers, but it can be brought out a little bit in your granary. ”

Cui Zhengwu snorted coldly and said, "Our food is for self-cultivation and Qi family, not for supporting the incompetent imperial court!" ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he felt that this negotiation could not be carried out, and his face turned pale.

"Are you just watching the court fail to pay the fine, and watching the court be overthrown by Li Zhi?"

The heads of the twelve families and two classes of nobles looked at each other for a while, but none of them spoke.

The county supervisor standing behind the county order saw this scene and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The county supervisor is an official from the sixth grade, and is an adjutant of the county order appointed by the imperial court. This county supervisor has been standing behind and watching the county order begging for two classes of nobles, but seeing the arrogant attitude of the heroes, the county supervisor shouted violently: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!" How can you be so indifferent? ”

Hearing the scolding of this county magistrate, the county magistrate behind the county magistrate rushed out, about to arrest the twelve noble family heads who refused to pay.

Seeing the county supervisor's men and horses rushing out, the subordinates behind the two shifts immediately rushed forward. However, compared to the county supervisor's soap, the two classes are still a little weaker. A tall soap under the command of the county commander saw a Cui family trilogy rush in front of him, and hit the trilogy in the stomach with one punch, so that the triqu fell to the ground on the spot and couldn't get up.

After all, the twelve families were fighting away, and the number of people was not as large as that of the county order, and in the end, those county officials surrounded the people of the twelve families and the two classes of wealthy families.

The county supervisor pointed to the two classes of nobles and scolded: "Do you countrymen know what the imperial court is now? Believe it or not, I'm going to detain you all? ”

Some of the nobles of the two classes were a little flustered, and looked nervously at the soaps around them, with a compromised look on their faces.

Cui Zhengwu, the head of the Cui family, was not afraid at all, he snorted coldly and said: "Li Zhi's soldiers and horses are coming to North Korea, if the imperial court can't stop it, we countrymen will naturally fight to the end." The imperial court has an army of more than 100,000 people, and if it can't deal with Li Zhi's tens of thousands, this imperial court is too mediocre! ”

"Even if we two classes agree, the farmers in the countryside will not agree!"

Seeing that the soaps were under control, the county supervisor snorted coldly and was about to arrest Cui Zhengwu. However, before he could give the order, suddenly a soap ran in from outside. Na Soap Li looked at the confrontation in the hall, rushed to the county order and said: "The county order is not good, more than a thousand peasants gathered outside, all with sickles and hoes, surrounded the county government. ”

When the county supervisor heard this, he panicked all of a sudden. Sooli was able to control the twelve heads of the two classes, but he could not control the angry peasants. If these peasants rushed in and smashed the county government, perhaps the county supervisor and the county magistrate would be beaten to death.

The county commander seemed to have known that the situation would develop to this point, and sighed helplessly.

The county supervisor suddenly lost his momentum, he forced himself to compose, pointed at Cui Zhengwu and scolded: "Cui Zhengwu, is it the peasant you gathered." There is so much grain in your granary that you are unwilling to hand over a little, what did you incite the peasants to say? Are you going to rebel? ”

Cui Zhengwu looked at the county officials around him who had lost their sense of proportion, and snorted coldly.

"It's not that we don't pay money in two shifts, it's that the farmers don't agree!"

He shouted, "Let's go!" ”

Without leaving a penny of silver, the twelve wealthy families pushed away the county officials around them and strode out of the county government of Rongjiao County.
