I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 146 Summary of Yelu Yanxi

Dig rivers, repair roads, and build palaces for him. He admitted that building a palace for him was a bit excessive, but clearing rivers and repairing roads were good things that benefited the country and the people. Why did these people refuse? This made him a little confused.

Yelu Yanxi concluded: "Liu Sheng transferred a small part of the benefits to all the people, which has good and bad consequences.

The good thing is that Liu Sheng won the hearts of all the people, but the bad thing is that he lost the most basic support of the gentry during his reign.

Wherever Liu Sheng passed by, all nobles with money and food were copied by Liu Sheng without exception.

The money and food were used to subsidize the sergeants and develop people's livelihood, so the people applauded him.

But this kind of gameplay cannot be played. The nobles have a characteristic that as long as the ruling class gives them benefits, they are the most stable and staunchest supporters.

But as long as it hurts their interests, they are the ones who can make the most of the situation, and Liu Sheng is even more ruthless. It is conceivable that the nobles in the state capital who are captured by Liu Sheng will resist vigorously.

Even if Liu Sheng did not invade others, the nobles would not allow such a place.

As long as there is an opportunity, they will capture Liu Sheng's territory and restore the rule of the gentry.

There is another fatal flaw in Liu Sheng's model, that is, the people under his rule will be very prosperous. When the world is in chaos, everyone wants to take such a stable and prosperous land for their own use.

So Liu Sheng could only keep attacking or defending.

Regardless of the fact that Yelu Chun and Liu Sheng have formed an alliance, they have the same goal. As long as the war ahead becomes anxious, Yelu Chun's first target will be Yunying Huanshuo Jizhou.

The territory under Liu Sheng's rule is like a piece of fat meat, which is very attractive to people who are about to starve to death.

If you want to keep it, you have to keep launching wars, and you have to win them. After winning, you have to get all the local money and food.

Another characteristic of Liu Sheng's model is that he cannot lose.

As long as he loses and people see his decline, they will attack him in groups. All his previous efforts were in vain.

He quickly rejected Liu Sheng's model of governing Khitan in his mind.

Only rising stars like Liu Sheng dare to do this, but how few have done so in history?

Aren't they all completely shaken by the nobles' counterattack?

If he governs the Khitan like Liu Sheng does, not to mention other things, first of all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will turn against him.

The Song Dynasty has the best example, Wang Anshi's reform. He also understood Wang Anshi's reform, which can be said to be very good, but there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Wang Anshi has a heart of benevolence for the people, but not everyone in the world is like that. Generally, people have selfish motives.

Every policy is a good policy, but good policies also need people to deliver them.

When the orders from the superiors harmed the interests of the nobles, they would distort the orders, thereby further harming the people.

Liu Sheng's approach is as idealistic as Wang Anshi's.

In the eyes of Yelu Yanxi, Liu Sheng was somewhat talented, but he was not as good as a prime minister and not as handsome as an army officer.

He is neither a qualified commander nor a very good minister.

It can be said that getting to this point is all luck. Whether it was under Yunzhou City, defeating Xiao He or occupying Shuozhou, it was all luck.

Without the rise of the Jurchens, Liu Sheng would not have been able to survive until now.

It just happened that everything happened to catch up with him.

This is another Huangchao. The streets in the sky have trampled all the bones of the ministers, and the inner storehouses have been burned to ashes.

But he is more rational than Huang Chao, and he does better than Huang Chao.

As long as someone is willing to publicize what Liu Sheng did to the Song Dynasty.

The Manchu civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty would rather give up Yanyun than attack Liu Sheng first.

Yelu Yanxi felt that this seemed to be a collision between two ideologies. He couldn't explain it clearly, but he had the feeling that he could only live in one of the two.

But from the current point of view, the probability of Liu Sheng winning is low.

Yelu Yanxi suddenly had a question in his mind. He wanted to know whether the people here still missed their homeland, Khitan?

The man glanced at Yelu Yanxi and said, "The storyteller said that our land used to belong to the Tang Dynasty, and the Khitan was just a small barbarian tribe entrusted by the Tang Dynasty. Will you miss the Tang Dynasty?"

This confused Yelu Yanxi. In Khitan, he was the orthodox emperor of China. If he returned to the Tang Dynasty, he would be the leader of the frontier barbarians.

How could he miss the empire that had been dead for hundreds of years and was so powerful that it suffocated everyone.

What to miss? Do you miss them relying on other people's breath, lying at other people's feet, feeling the two bones that others don't want and are rewarded? Certainly not.

But he is the emperor, and his status is different from that of this group of people, but he also understands what these people think. However, the Tang Dynasty has been dead for hundreds of years, but the Khitan is still there, but it has lost Yun Yingshuo... a few states.

This was only half a year. It seemed that these people changed their families too quickly, and they felt endless loneliness in their hearts. Liu Sheng was right, it was the people who wanted the Khitan to die, and the people did not want the Khitan to still be around.

So those old and young, what do they miss about their motherland? The Song Dynasty in the south often misses the Tang Dynasty. Because of the power of the Tang Dynasty, all foreigners in their eyes are meritorious.

The people there miss the Tang Dynasty because it brought them prosperity and stability.

At this moment, Yelu Yanxi understood again that the Khitan only brought them countless taxes.

Those who can miss the Khitan can only be those with vested interests in the Khitan.

Yelu Yanxi was meditating again. It seemed that the people didn't care who ruled them.

As long as they can live their lives, they can still pay homage even if the person sitting on the throne is a pig.

Yelu Yanxi suddenly understood Liu Sheng's intention. The dynasty built based on the people must be indestructible.

He was somewhat looking forward to where Liu Sheng would go in this troubled world.

But he still asked unwillingly: "If someone comes to attack your general and promises you better treatment, what will you do?"

Speaking of this, the man became interested again and said, "Do you know that hundreds of assassins were chasing our general last time. The general was desperate and ran all the way to our reservoir. Do you know the price offered by those assassins?"

"We beat half of those assassins to death and protected the general. If there was no general, would they be able to offer those prices? Who wouldn't talk about the things that happen when words come up? I dare to say, etc. When I become the emperor, I will make you the prince? Do you believe it?"

Yelu Yanxi...

"Whoever dares to hurt the general, we will fight with our lives and kill them."

After a while, they remembered the sound of gongs. Everyone jumped up immediately when they heard the gongs, picked up the tools at hand and started working.
