Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 395 Shi Kang!

This person is from the family of Duke Wei, named Shi Kang.

His family is still very prestigious. His ancestor Shi Shouxin fought with the army at the time of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. He served as a district governor and a court official, and was later canonized as a duke.

And after his death, he was canonized as the king of Qin, the king of the county and so on.

Although he passed away in his fifties, one can imagine the power and status of a person who can be canonized as a prince in the world.

Moreover, the Duke is hereditary, so he was inherited.

Although Shi Kang is only a descendant of the family, not the Duke of the state, he only works for the family, but his status is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Seeing that everyone gathered here, Shi Kang didn't stand up to say hello, but said slowly, "Everyone can come to this banquet, it's also for our Shi family's face!"

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "You are welcome, it is my honor to be able to participate in the party invited by Mr. Shi!"

Shopkeeper Rong also nodded.

Shi Kang said directly: "Everyone is called this time because of Yan Yun's problem!"

Shi Kang: "We are all respectable people in Yunzhou, but since King Yan came up, the fertile land in our hands has been taken back, and everything has to be controlled by King Yan. What kind of new law does he use, making Yanyun a miasma.

Even all of you who were present were dismissed by him while they were in official positions. I don’t think it’s a good thing for us that King Yan came to Yanyun! "

Zhang Cheng: "What your lord said is very true. Our Zhizhou did a good job before, but was replaced by King Yan, which caused us to lose a lot of benefits!"

"Which one of you here doesn't have fertile land? They were all taken away. Although this Yanyun belongs to the King of Yan, such a new law is really too bad for us!"

"The newly appointed Zhizhou has replaced many of our people. If King Yan hadn't been too famous, how could he be allowed to be presumptuous!"

Shi Kang frowned, also a little annoyed.

Zhang Cheng: "King Yan is an evil star to us, and now that he has come to Yunzhou, our life may be even more difficult!"

Zhang Cheng is a small official in Yunzhou, and his position is not very big, but he is a little uncomfortable being controlled by the new magistrate everywhere. If he is unsatisfactory, he will be reprimanded or even dismissed, so he is also cautious.

The Zhizhou here is a person promoted by the Secretary of Government Affairs of Wu Zhi.

Since Wu Zhi is the king of Yan, the people he promotes still have great power, and no one dares to mess around at present.

But it doesn't mean they are willing to be constantly suppressed by King Yan.

These people are the victims of King Yan's new law.

Think about it, if King Yan wants to govern Yanyun, or to make the world more stable and the Song Dynasty stronger, he will inevitably weaken the bureaucracy and the upper class.

And the world is in the hands of these people. Their influence and strength have caused the people to live very hard.

How can we make the world stable if we don't suppress them?
How did Song Dynasty perish?
It’s not that this group of people caused the people to be uneasy, and many rebels were born, plus various problems among the bureaucrats, eating the money from the treasury without doing practical things, being strong outside the middle, etc., these series of problems add up to attack Jin Guo up.

Wu Zhi wants to disintegrate these internal problems, and these people will be harmed.

People from Wu Zhi's own Yanyun realm dared to gather together to discuss the matter of rebellion, and the King of Yan was very displeased.

Not to mention the upper class of the entire Song Dynasty.

Shi Kangdao: "After King Yan was canonized, Yanyun was his fief, but he caused us such a big loss when he came, and now he is controlling the price of grain, causing us to lose a lot of money in vain. Just got the news, then King Yan's younger brother killed the Zhizhou and several grain merchants in Jinzhou!"

"It seems that he is determined to rectify it!"

Zhang Cheng sneered: "Isn't this King Yan relying on the officials to favor him? If one day the officials don't favor him, he's a fart, but your Shi family is truly a nobleman!"

Hearing this, Shi Kang felt very comfortable.

This is typical of flattery.

To say that compared with King Yan, the Shi family can't compare at all. Everything that King Yan has done is a major event.

Who can compare to the matter of destroying Liao and Jin?
However, the Shi family here is the largest, so it is natural to say compliments, and it is true that Zhang Cheng was suppressed by King Yan's new law, and he lost a lot, so he was naturally unhappy.

Shi Kang said: "Just kidding, our Shi family is still incomparable with King Yan, even in its heyday, not to mention that the Shi family has fallen now!"

"Now we are all deprived of benefits because of his new law. Today, the Duke asked me to call everyone here to discuss this matter!"

Shopkeeper Rong also said: "It's just that this King Yan is not easy to deal with. He is decisive, capable of martial arts, and has a king, and we all have to be controlled by him. It's really difficult!"

Shi Kang nodded: "What you said is not unreasonable. Now King Yan is the biggest in Yanyun, and we are naturally no match for him. Obviously, we can't deal with him. Moreover, I heard that this man is very skilled in martial arts. He was once alone in the Liao Palace. The tens of thousands of guards who were killed did not dare to get close, and retreated calmly, I have to say, this is a strange person!"

"But having said that, before he came, we were flourishing in Yunzhou, and we could do whatever we wanted. Once he came to take over, we would be restricted everywhere. If we don't get rid of this person, I'm afraid everyone will have to finish the game in the end. !"

Shi Kang: "As soon as this person came, he weakened the official positions of many people in our Shi family, demoted them, and now blocked my way of making money. Hehe, if he doesn't do this, my Shi family will be fine. Now we can't make money. The money is his fault!"

Shopkeeper Rong said: "Master Shi is right, the price of food cannot be increased now, how much money will I lose!"

Zhang Cheng: "It's just looking at the waste of money that can't be earned, but the king of Yan is in charge of this and that. Those people have no money to buy food, so it's none of our business. Is Yanyun short of people?"

"The Yanyun rebellion was not caused by these people. If I were the king of Yan, I would let these people starve to death, and it would be easier to manage!"

"But Yan Yun doesn't think so, what can I do?" Zhang Cheng shook his head.

Shi Kang said: "Master Zhang, I heard that your family has [-] mu of land, which was also taken back by King Yan!"

When Zhang Cheng heard this, his face was angry: "That's right, [-] mu have just been confiscated!"

Zhang Cheng's heart fluctuated violently.

A light flashed in Shi Kang's eyes: "And your treasurer Rong, who has [-] mu in his home, was also taken away by the King of Yan! In other words, everyone here, who has not been confiscated with good land? The king of Yan has all the benefits! Are you all willing?"

"Of course I'm not reconciled!"

"Yes, I can't wait!"

"But he is King Yan, what can I do?"

The crowd was outraged.

Shi Kangdao: "The implementation of new laws has always harmed our interests. In my opinion, this new law is something that will bring disaster to the country and the people. Just before the reform of the law by the princes, it made the people miserable. Isn't that enough?
Which reform did not make the sky angry and the people complaining!
It's ridiculous that King Yan is still thinking about reforms! "
