Chapter 192: Gather the crowd to make trouble

"Dean, something is wrong!"

As soon as Li Yang sent the merchant away, Li You hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and something seemed to have happened.

Now, although the three prime ministers have been appointed as the president, the position of prime minister has not been cancelled, so Li Yang's mansion is still called the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Because Li Si and Feng Quji were appointed as Vice President of the National Council, but they were called the President, so they were suspected of being unknown. Therefore, in the entire court, Feng Quji and Li Si were still called Feng Xiang and Li Xiang, but Li Yang, and everyone called him the President to show that they were in charge of the position of the State Council and the general of the court.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Li Yang rarely sees Li You in such a hurry, and it is obvious that something is wrong.

Sure enough, Li You pointed toward Xianyang Palace and said, "Many old Qin people gathered outside Xianyang Palace to ask His Majesty to abolish the new policy, saying that you are the dean, you are ruining the country and shaking the foundation of Qin, and you are also yelling to kill you to restor your world."

"oh?"

When Li Yang heard this, he suddenly realized that no wonder Li You was so anxious. It turned out that this was the case.

To be honest, although Li Yang knew that the new land reform policy would be resisted and resented by the old Qin people, he did not expect that they would gather together to block the outside of Xianyang Palace.

After pondering for a while, Li Yang asked, "How many people do they have in total?"

Li You thought for a while and replied, "I'm afraid there are nearly a thousand people, all of them from Guanzhong, and some of them are still from Shangyu."

"Guanzhong? Are the lands in Guanzhong all the fiefs of some old clans and royal clans?" Li Yang frowned, because the old clans and royal clans were basically in the court and had promised before that they could retain the original fiefs and only take over the annexed land. Why did they still make trouble?

Guanzhong refers to the alluvial plain of the Wei River (area in the Wei River Basin) at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province. It is actually the surrounding area of ​​Xianyang, the capital of the capital of today's central Shaanxi Province.

The south of Guanzhong is leaning against the Qinling Mountains. The Wei River passes through it, with its vast and beautiful things, and its people are brilliant. There are natural terrain barriers on all sides, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since the Warring States Period, there has been a saying of "the country of four barriers". Zhang Yi told King Hui of Qin that the plan of "a continuous and straits" was praised by Guanzhong for "beautiful fields, rich people, tens of thousands of chariots, struggling to fight for hundreds of trades, fertile fields, and accumulating a lot of fertile."

It is precisely because of this that this plump land in Guanzhong is the fiefdom of the old clan of Qin and the descendants of the Ying clan.

The clan, unlike the gentry, was a tribe of different surnames that founded their foundation in the pre-Qin period. For example, the three famous generals who accompanied Duke Mu of Qin to achieve hegemony: Meng Mingshi, Xiqishu, and Bai Yibing. The descendants of the three of them are the three largest tribes in the Qin State, and they are called the Meng Xibai tribes.

At this time, Li You said: "No one of the old clans and the Ying clan relatives took the lead in making trouble. All the people who came here were the children of the old clans and the Ying clans. Because most of the land in the surrounding counties and counties outside the pass were annexed by them."

"I see!"

Hearing this, Li Yang suddenly realized.

In other words, the fiefdoms in Guanzhong are actually just their small heads. Even if these fiefs are retained, they don’t have much. The real big head is the land that was annexed by the surrounding counties.

Now, the new land reform policy is equivalent to taking away their big heads. They are naturally unhappy and naturally have to make trouble. In addition, they rely on their backs to the old clan and Ying clan, so they yell to see the emperor.

Li Yang thought for a while and asked again: "Isn't Shang Yu's land Shang Yang's fief?"

Li You nodded: "During the reign of Qin Xiaogong, Shang Yuzhi was indeed granted to Shang Yang. However, after Shang Yang was defeated by the old clans, it became the fief of the old Qin people. By the way, the most fiefs of Shang Yuzhi are now the Wang family."

"Former Prime Minister Wang Wan?"

Li Yang asked.

"That's right, His Majesty gave most of Shangyu land to the Wang family." Li You nodded and then said worriedly: "Dean, what should I do now?"

"Don't worry."

Li Yang was not at all panicked. He thought for a while and asked, "Have Your Majesty summoned those old Qin people who caused trouble?"

Li You shook his head: "Your Majesty did not meet. He said that you have the full authority to handle the implementation of land reform. Do whatever you want."

Li Yang nodded and then said, "This is how you tell Fusu about this and let him come forward to send away the old Qin people gathered outside the Xianyang Palace."

"The Dean is not going to come forward in person? Will they just keep making trouble?"

Li You said a little unhappy.

Li Yang sneered: "If our court comes forward, if they don't kill people, they will become more Bengali. But once they kill people, the matter will be serious. It's best to let Fusu go."

"Here!"

Li You thought about it and felt that Li Yang was saying it well, so he immediately took the order to go to Fusu Mansion...

…………

Not long after, outside the Xianyang Palace Gate.

Fusu brought Li You to the gate of Xianyang Palace and saw the old Qin people gathered here and shouted to advise the emperor.

I saw that the old Qin people were no longer the simple old Qin people more than ten years ago, but were dressed in gorgeous clothes and became the new nobles of the Qin State.

They were all filled with righteous indignation and shouted at the palace gate: "We want to see the emperor! We want to see the emperor! Your Majesty, Li Yang is a ruined country, Li Yang is a wolf-like heart, he wants the Qin Dynasty to lose its foundation..."

"Are you gathered outside the palace gate? Are you trying to force the palace or want to rebel?"

Fusu came to everyone and shouted loudly!

When everyone saw that the person coming was the eldest son Fusu, the crowd who had been shouting before immediately became quiet, bowed and called out: "The eldest son!"

A leading old Qin man in his forties came out and bowed, saying, "Young Master, I dare not force the palace even if I die thousands of times. But the old Qin man is going to be forced to death by Li Yang. We have no choice but to come outside the palace gate to ask for the emperor."

Fusu said, "Father will not see you, you should go back and don't get together here."

Hearing this, the crowd was furious again and turned to Fusu to make the decision.

The leader said, "Young Master, these are all Li Yang. He is hiding evil intentions and intends to mess up the hearts of the people of my Daqin!"

"Yes, yes, what Bai Mang said is that he targeted me, the old Qin people, so that he could destroy the Qin people. If this son did not kill him, the Qin people would be in danger!" Everyone ordered the peace and indignant. If Li Yang was here, they would have the attitude of tearing Li Yang alive.

Fusu looked at the leader unhappily and said in surprise: "Your name is Baimang, from the Bai clan?"

Bai Mang nodded: "If you come back to the eldest son, you are indeed a child of the Bai family in Mei County."

After Shang Yang's reform, the Linong Well Field was abolished, and the people of the whole country became "national people". Once the knight privileges and priority privileges of the Mengxibai tribes disappeared, they became old Qin people who were farming and fighting with the Chinese people. Now, the Meng tribes and the Xiqi tribes gradually declined because of their lack of farming. The Bai tribes were all good at farming and fighting, and gradually became the largest clan in Mei County.

How big is the Bai clan today?

Let me put it this way, the Bai tribe, the largest clan in Mei County, is the largest source of military force in Qin. After Shang Yang's reforms, over the past hundred years, descendants of the clan gradually occupied most of the Mei County. The children in the clan are all diligent and good at fighting. They have always been the hometown of nobles and commoners and the abyss of the Qin knights.
