In September, everything went smoothly in Hebei, and Qin Hui also made a fortune in Goryeo, and I heard that he also became the guest of the king of Goryeo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, according to the construction procedures of Huangzhou Construction, this four-lane hardened expressway with a total length of almost 400 miles will be divided into 32 sections for sectional construction, and the 1,500 craftsmen sent by Huangzhou Construction will theoretically be able to build this road before the winter in two months at most.

However, of course, the problem is not on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, but after the road construction officially entered the site, especially when the construction supervision and management of the Great Song Dynasty strictly implemented the daily wage system according to Huang Jie's plan, and settled the daily settlement for the people of Goryeo, the matter was out of control.

It is said that the people from the vicinity of Xijing and the northern part of Goryeo came from the Goryeo court, not to mention the roll of the cover, but there was a set of summer clothes on the body to cover the body, and a cloth on the outside head (also known as wiping the forehead, which is an accessory learned from the Tang Dynasty, the nobles mostly used black yarn, and the people could only use white cloth), and after coming to the construction site empty-handed, it was clear that they wanted to eat a large household.

But who would have thought that the Great Song Dynasty also did what he said, because of the support of more than 1,000 sea ships of the East China Sea Fleet, not to mention the Sanhe soil and various iron tools needed to build roads, even rice grain and meat were also transported, anyway, now the sea ships of the entire fleet have to cruise greatly every time, loading a large number of soldiers for adaptive training, so the transportation of these materials is also incidental.

However, seeing that the Great Song Dynasty not only really managed to eat and live, but also really paid a "daily salary" of 50 wen per person every day, the Goryeo people were not calm, and soon the news similar to the Song people's "more money, stupid people, and quick come" also spread throughout the territory of Goryeo, and in just half a month's effort, there were almost more than 100,000 people flocking to the construction sites along the road, asking for help to repair the road, not to mention, the salary asked for was even more pitiful, most of the young strong men only needed half price, and the old and weak, children, and women waited only in the hope of managing two meals a day, just give a five-penny or ten-penny.

According to the information he got before, there have been no natural disasters in Goryeo in recent years, and secondly, because the war with the Jurchens has also stopped, naturally there are no disasters, how can such a situation occur?

As a last resort, he could only give an order to Qin Hui, who was a guest on the Goryeo throne in Kaijing, to rush to Xijing to investigate the ins and outs of this time.

Qin Hui got the order and naturally did not dare to slack off, so he also rushed to investigate, and the news he got made Huang Jie a little ridiculous, the reason for such a situation is because although there is no natural disaster in Goryeo now, but there is a famine caused by man-made people, the reason is also because of the tax policy implemented in Goryeo today or the two tax laws.

It should be mentioned here that before that, the tax law implemented in Goryeo was called Tian Chaeko, that is, all the cultivated land and mountains and forests of the whole country were nationalized, and then a part of the land and mountains and forests were distributed to civil and military officials and soldiers according to rank, which was called "Tian Chaike Ke".

Tian refers to cultivated land, firewood refers to firewood, and Ke refers to the rank of officials. Tian Chaike is the state to grant the right to collect rent from land according to the rank of the recipient (civil and military officials, as well as government soldiers and idlers), and the higher the rank, the more land and forest land are allocated. Only the meritorious and the obedient nobles were given hereditary land, and the rest of the land was returned after the death of the person, and no hereditary land was allowed. Most of the remaining land was used as public land, which was leased directly by the state to the peasants for cultivation and levied taxes.

In this way, the state basically controlled the land and peasants in its own hands, but during the reign of Emperor Injong of the Great Song Dynasty, due to the serious annexation of land, the system of field and firewood was gradually destroyed, and Goryeo followed the example of the Great Song Dynasty and implemented the two tax laws.

Regarding the details of the two tax laws, I will not go into detail here, but simply say that there are roughly three characteristics of the two tax laws: one is the abolition of all miscellaneous taxes arising from the rent adjustment tax law implemented in previous dynasties; the second is to change to collect money, according to the actual harvest of the size of the land, twice a year; The third is to allow land to be bought and sold freely.

However, Goryeo's current problems are still due to the free sale of land, which has caused a very serious land annexation, which is even worse than that of the Great Song Dynasty at the same time. Because the Goryeo Dynasty itself was a semi-slave and semi-feudal dynasty with centralized power of feudal aristocracy, the officials and nobles in the country, down to the landlords and old wealth, came up with various ways to loot all kinds of valuable resources at the same time, in order to maintain the value of the property, they would also invest in land, not to mention the clever grabbing, which also caused a large loss of land in the hands of the people, and in the end, not only lost their land and homes, but also had to sell themselves to become tenants of high-ranking families, and sell their labor to support their families.

And the most important thing is that this problem in Goryeo has actually existed for many years, a few years ago because of the war between Goryeo and Jurchen, and because of Goryeo's own seclusion, it has also invisibly suppressed a lot in the embryonic stage, for many Goryeo people, the world looks like this, either to endure to live, or to endure and wait for death, there is no other way to think.

Therefore, Huang Jie's road construction action actually inadvertently detonated this sprout, so that the Goryeo people, who had been in poverty and hunger for a long time, suddenly saw hope. Although Huang Jie was holding back the news, when he listened to the follow-up news, there were more and more Koreans rushing to the road construction site, almost approaching 200,000, and the news that it was difficult to cope with the construction sites kept coming out.

However, it was really a leak that happened to rain overnight, and on September 22, the second year of the main road, a small spark caused a violent explosion.

According to the report sent by Qin Hui, on the morning of September 221, a Xijing official named Cui Youshan in the Goryeo court, after hearing that the tenants of his family had gone to work at the road construction site, he was angry and personally led people to arrest people, and in the process of arresting people, he beat to death a 13-year-old son named Park Girl.

So, the anger suppressed in the hearts of the Goryeo people was ignited violently, and the angry people picked up the tools such as shovels, pickaxes, shovels and other tools on the construction site, and first swarmed to destroy and loot the manor of Cui Youshan outside Xijing, and then they were even more bold and reckless to attack Xijing, because of the large number of people, and they attacked at night, and they were really surprised to attack them, it is said that only on the night of September 22, Xijing was simply full of corpses, and countless Xijing officials and wealthy households were killed. The number of victims has reached thousands.

The next morning, as the angry crowd dispersed, some people set fire to the wealthy neighborhood in the south of the city, and a fire burned almost half of the city.

Hearing this news, the king of Goryeo was naturally furious, and sent the general Cui Zhuo to lead 50,000 troops to Xijing overnight, vowing to punish this group of traitors.
