I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

After the Song army was defeated, Liu Sheng did not stay in Wuguan. Instead, he returned to Shanyang with Wu Ze and asked Xie An to lead four thousand troops to garrison Wuguan.

Before he figured out what the sharp weapon was, Liu Sheng didn't think that the Song Dynasty was mad and wanted to attack.

The reason why I want to bring Wu Ze is because Wu Ze is getting married.

Last time, he told Qi Guanhan that he would be engaged to Qi Guanhan when the imperial edict for the reward came, but Liu Sheng refused the reward and denounced the angel.

Wu Ze had just left that night, and a matchmaker came to the door the next day.

Of course Liu Sheng was happy about this and agreed immediately. Now a month has passed and Wu Ze's marriage is approaching.

Although Wu Ze said he was unwilling, his smile did not stop along the way. Halfway through, he mysteriously said to Liu Sheng: "Brother Sheng, actually I also have a surprise for you."

Liu Sheng glanced at Wu Ze hesitantly, "Surprise, what kind of surprise?"

Wu Ze smiled mysteriously and did not answer. He hesitated and said, "Actually, I don't know if it's a surprise or not. It depends on how well Mi Xing handles it."

surprise? Is it also related to Mi Xing?

Liu Sheng couldn't hold it any longer, but no matter how Liu Sheng asked, Wu Ze wouldn't answer.

Liu Sheng was so excited by the surprise Wu Ze said, but no matter how Liu Sheng tried to coerce him, Wu Ze didn't say anything.

Unknowingly, he speeded up the march. Along the way, Liu Sheng was thinking about what surprises Mi Xing and Wu Ze could give him, but he couldn't think of any surprises.

When they approached Shanyang, Mi Xing came to greet him on horseback and said, "General, you are back."

Liu Sheng was a little anxious and said directly: "Wu Ze said you prepared a surprise for me. What kind of surprise is it? Is it in the city? Take me to see it."

Mi Xing glanced at Wu Ze with some reproach and said: "General, don't be in a hurry, come with me first."

Liu Sheng did not doubt him and followed Wu Zemi Xing directly to a small village ten miles away in Shanyang County.

The village is a bit dilapidated, as if it has been in disrepair. Liu Sheng had been here before, and there were only a few herdsmen with a large group of livestock. In this winter, the village is full of people and busy everywhere, like a big construction site.

Liu Sheng and others immediately stopped at the end of the village and did not enter. This was just an ordinary village. Perhaps herders had moved in. Why did Mi Xing bring him here?

There are no fewer than ten such villages every day in the entire Shuozhou. This is why Wang Liao complained that the household registration outside the city cannot be counted because the herdsmen ran too fast. They were still here before, but ran away again two days later...

Mi Xing smiled and said: "General, don't be anxious.

Then he rode into the village and shouted in the village, "The general is back, the general is back."

Following Mi Xing's shouting, everyone who was still busy put down their work one after another. As they gathered at the entrance of the village, even the children who were hiding from the cold in the house came out.

A group of old men came forward to surround Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng was surprised. These people seemed to know him? He looked at these old men and they seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.

The old man stepped forward with a cane and said, "General, we meet again."

Wu Ze, who was on the side, said: "Brother Sheng, they are from Yu's hometown."

At this time, a child ran directly to Liu Sheng's horse, looked up at him and said: "Brother-in-law, you are finally back, I want to ride a big horse too."

He said that he was going to climb up to Liu Sheng's horse using his hands and feet. Liu Sheng was afraid of hurting him, so he jumped off the horse and picked him up.

At this time, the memory buried in Liu Sheng's heart was once again awakened. Liu Sheng blushed with embarrassment. After all, it was he who deceived the people of Yu's hometown first.

Liu Sheng looked at the old man and said, "Why are you here?" He thought of the answer without waiting for an answer, and then looked at Mi Xing and Wu Ze: "We have traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to travel in heavy snow. How can we get them here?"

The old man stepped forward to argue: "General, please don't blame us. This is all of our own free will."

Under the old man's narration, Liu Sheng learned about the series of processes of the Khitan army's march south.

The Khitan people were already short of food, and due to years of chaos, food was already in short supply. The journey south from Yunzhou was a process of robbery.

The food that Liu Sheng originally gave them was forcibly confiscated and a lot of it was handed back, making the already difficult life even more difficult.

Because Liu Sheng had stopped here, Mi Xing also checked the situation in Yujia Village when he sent people to Yunzhou, and found that the situation in Yu Village was not good.

That day, while drinking with Wu Ze, they accidentally gossiped, and Wu Ze came up with the idea to ask Mi Xing to settle everyone in Yujia Village.

It happened that Mi Xing was ordered to go to Youzhou to bring Wang Liao's family, but fortunately he brought everyone from Yujia Village directly.

Liu Sheng knew the cause and effect, but he didn't say anything, and couldn't say anything. His eyes moved around, searching for something in the crowd.

But after looking around, I didn't see the person I wanted to see. I was a little disappointed and worried at the same time. Could it be... But at this time, the crowd was surrounding, and Liu Sheng couldn't say anything. Since the whole village was involved, , then Mi Xing shouldn’t have missed it!

As if he had seen through Liu Sheng, the mayor of Yu's hometown said: "General, this new law will not cause any changes!"

Liu Sheng laughed and said, "Of course, nothing will happen again in the future."

After hearing this, the mayor of my hometown breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, you've been working hard all the way. If you don't mind it, why don't you use some food in the village?"

"Okay," Liu Sheng agreed. When he walked into the village, he discovered what the villagers were doing before. They were busy repairing their houses. Some of the dilapidated houses that remained were too dilapidated to be inhabitable.

The fellow village chiefs introduced to Liu Sheng one by one: "The weather is too cold now. We are going to repair these damaged houses. When next spring, we will build new houses."

Then he looked at Liu Sheng with some hesitation. Liu Sheng also saw the old man's embarrassment. He must have wanted some supplies. After dragging his family and traveling so far, many supplies were consumed on the way.

Liu Sheng asked before he could speak: "Head of the township, bring your family and your family to Shuozhou to build Shuozhou. If you have any difficulties, just ask."

The old man was a little embarrassed and said: "General, I know it's a little inappropriate, but..." The old man hesitated for a long time and finally said: "General, can you exempt us from taxes next spring?"

Afraid that Liu Sheng would not agree, he hurriedly said, "Maybe we can wait a little longer until after the autumn harvest."

Liu Sheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak. What a wonderful people! Before the land was planted, he was thinking about paying taxes. Liu Sheng thought for a while and said to Mi Xing: "Tell Wang Liao that the newly moved or conquered land in the future will be tax-free for one year and half-tax for three years. The government will provide farm tools." .”

After hearing the news, the fellow village head took the lead and wanted to kowtow to Liu Sheng, but he couldn't stop him. It seemed that kowtowing was like writing some kind of contract.

The people in Yu's hometown eat very simply, just a kind of batter mixed with wild vegetables.

In order to entertain Liu Sheng, he killed a chicken and a sheep, but Liu Sheng did not refuse.

The thinking of rural people is very simple. If you eat mine, then we are a family. If you don't eat, it means that our relationship is not enough.

So in the vast rural areas, when meeting relatives and friends, they often say, "Have you eaten?" Didn't eat? Walking to my house on the hour, it gradually became a greeting.

Liu Sheng stayed in Yujia Village until midnight and walked around all the places the man could go. He didn't see the person he was thinking about, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed...

On the way back, Mi Xing and Wu Ze laughed and said, "Brother Sheng, I think you are a little disappointed!"

Liu Sheng cheered up and said, "Where is it?"
