A large number of Song and Ting bureaucrats were killed in the uprising, which was extremely tragic.
After the failure of the uprising, Sichuan’s special geographical location and the people’s persistent strong anti-Song sentiment made them afraid and had to compromise.
They continue to treat Sichuan as a colony, and can constantly send officials with clean expectations to Sichuan to be officials and crack down on illegal officials, and soldiers can appease the people of Sichuan and re-establish the image of Song Ting.
For example, Zhao Guangyi sent Zhang Yong, who had a clean reputation after the outbreak of Wang Xiaobo’s Li Shun uprising, to Yizhou Zhizhou. Before leaving, Zhang Yong also talked to him and told him to do something to protect the interests of the Shu people.
After Zhang Yong arrived in Chengdu, he lowered the price of salt so that the people could afford salt, reduced taxes and reduced the burden on the people, and severely punished officials, officers and soldiers who plundered the people’s property.
This wave of practice has somewhat calmed some people’s hearts.
However, Shu people are still seriously dissatisfied with Song Ting after being hurt too much, and the feudal government attribute of Song government cannot be fundamentally changed. There are still many things that make people dissatisfied in Sichuan and Sichuan.
Nearly sixty years after Wang Xiaobo’s Li Shun uprising failed, the Shu people also shouted a slogan similar to that of the Yellow turban insurrectionary uprising, "Shu has changed at the age of Jiawu."
This slogan constantly reminds people of the time when Wang Xiaobo’s Li Shun uprising arrived in Kaifeng, which scared Song Renzong to stay awake at night. The whole Kaifeng court was worried about the backyard fire.
So when Emperor You was five years away from the Sino-Japanese War, there was still one year left, and he was worried that Sichuan and Shu would change. Song Renzong sent a good reputation to the DPRK, and then he sent a letter to rectify the official management of Shu, and dealt with those who were greedy and harsh and harmed the people.
In the following year, Song Tingyan cracked down on illegal officials in Sichuan and Sichuan, and at the same time, he successively issued policies aimed at benefiting Sichuan people, such as reducing tax rates, inspecting salt wells, reducing silk and silk, and so on.
Through a series of means, Song Ting changed Sichuan from a high-tax area and the most heavily monopolized area by the imperial court in the early Northern Song Dynasty into a low-tax area, which was equivalent to giving a special economic zone status, and so on, and the problems were also improved to prevent Wang Xiaobo’s Li Shun uprising from reappearing
This wave of action finally kept Sichuan from getting into chaos again. Although there were still rumors during Nong Zhigao’s uprising that Nong Zhigao tried to launch a counterattack with the help of Sichuan and Sichuan forces, it was a thrilling year after all.
Since then, agricultural tax, commercial tax and salt price have been lower in Sichuan compared with other regions.
This policy made the economic conditions in Sichuan and Sichuan far better than those in other regions, and it lasted until the Southern Song Dynasty. Sichuan taxes could be left behind and handed over to the court.
Unlike his local taxes, which were almost taken away by the imperial court, the local government was in a state of semi-disability, which not only could not resist foreign enemies, but also could not deal with some thieves.
From this point of view, it is not without reason that Sichuan has become the strongest fortress against the invasion of Xu Jin and Mongolia.
Therefore, there has been almost no peasant uprising in Sichuan and Sichuan since Song Renzong, and the pressure on people living here is relatively small compared with that of Song people in other areas.
Say struggle to make a living.
Feudal rulers would never give up their interests easily. They were greedy, cruel and extremely selfish. If they adopted a non-high-pressure policy to a place because they made concessions, it must be due to the heroic struggle of the local people.
They will give benefit to groups that are difficult for them to deal with.
The sky’m never appears in front of docile subjects. The more submissive you are, the more corrupt officials you will attract.
Master Qingtian will have the most intense struggle and resistance. Put down your posture and seek reconciliation from the angry fighters, so that the fighters can make mistakes in the court and be reasonable.
The heroic Sichuan people’s resolute struggle and bloody sacrifice have made their descendants enjoy it for a hundred years.
If it had not been for the Song War and the establishment of the Chengdu court, this achievement would have continued until the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, making Sichuan a strong fortress against the invasion of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty.
However, historical changes have made this route impossible.
Zhao Qin’s court in Chengdu has lost its important tax source, and the court’s surge can’t hold on. If taxes are not added, the court in Chengdu will be finished.
Although it is known that drinking poison to quench thirst will kill people, the fear of dying immediately is even greater than that of dying slowly from poisoning. They will do whatever it takes to live.
Chengdu imperial court ordered the Southern Song Dynasty government to cancel the tax rate and increase the price of salt for the policy department of benefiting the people in Sichuan and Sichuan, and immediately arranged for tax collectors to collect taxes in Mianxiang.
You’ve enjoyed your country for a hundred years. Now it’s time to serve your country and give all your property to the court quickly!
This is probably the real idea of Zhao’s endless heart.
Of course, this is aimed at the Sichuan civilian yeoman class.
For this, it seems easier to bully soft persimmon, and the Chengdu court has no hesitation.
However, instead of increasing taxes, Chengdu in Sichuan and Sichuan has promoted tax reduction policies to appease people’s hearts and make up for the losses of adults.
Chapter 12 A world with injured yeomen was born.
Due to the establishment of Chengdu court, the material embargo and economic blockade of Sichuan and Sichuan were triggered, which made the dissatisfaction of Sichuan and Sichuan suffer heavy losses accumulate more and more.
When the loss became unbearable, they made a sound to the high-level rulers through the mouthpiece of the DPRK, letting them know their anger and dissatisfaction.
threaten
Can your court make us profit or not?
If you can’t, it will harm our interests, then don’t blame us for being impolite.
Aware of this crisis, Zhao Qin knows that he can’t confront them, let alone lose their support at this critical moment, and he decides to make further profits to the adults.
We should not only cut them, but also give them more benefits.
After all, the economic benefits are so big. Even the tax avoidance experts have not paid much tax, but now they just make some tax avoidance methods legal.
The so-called benefit without benefit does not gain much gratitude.
If the economic interests are not enough to buy people’s hearts, then proceed from the political interests.
Chengdu court decided to hold an imperial examination to recruit officials to share political interests with Sichuan and Sichuan people and draw them closer to Chengdu court.
After the riots in Sichuan and Sichuan, rice was not only taxed, but also reduced, which further benefited the political interests of the Chengdu court, and it was about to enter the Chengdu court.
Therefore, the Chengdu court has no different opinions on the heavy taxation of the peasant class.
Anyway, the more the imperial court attacks them, the more land they have, and they can become higher officials and master more power. They are satisfied with the Chengdu court.
A few officials who still have some conscience or some sense of hardship expressed to the Chengdu court that this policy may cause anxiety and hardship for Sichuan and Sichuan farmers, and the consequences of triggering a new round of civil unrest will be very serious.
Once the uprising broke out, the Chengdu imperial court was worried about foreign invasion, which was likely to be taken advantage of by the state and the puppet regime in Jiangnan.
But Zhao has been unable to turn back.
