C956 Nirvanic Rebirth Required

It could be said that the citizens no longer had any way to survive. The ones who suppressed the robbers were basically the same type of people as the rest of the families, helping them suppress the citizens. It was precisely because of this that the common citizens hated the imperial government, and supported Liangshan Mountain.1

Shi Feixuan and Wanwan were both smart. When they served Shen Muqing everyday, they would also think about the matter of Qingzhou and would occasionally discuss it.

From Shi Feixuan's point of view, government officials came from an aristocratic family, so it was impossible for them to offend them. Therefore, after the imperial government stabilized its Qingzhou, they should negotiate with the various large families to buy back the land they had taken away at a high price before increasing the tax payment to make up for the losses.

The aristocratic families were very satisfied with the imperial government, and ordinary citizens had their own land. Although the taxes were high and they were not happy with the imperial government, they could still live after working hard for a while.

Wanwan, on the other hand, thought the opposite. She believed that only civilians who could not survive would rebel. Even if those aristocratic families plundered 90% of their land, they would still be negative and would not rebel.

This way, the families would still be rich, and the citizens would be able to eat and wear the land to their heart's content without rebelling. Thus, although they had offended some aristocratic families, they had also obtained the hearts of the people.

The two had completely opposite thoughts, but there was one thing in common. The imperial government had to make choices. They could not offend aristocratic families, nor could they offend commoners.

However, Shen Muqing let them know that there was still a way to kill people by borrowing their families' land and distributing them to the commoners. However, it was not done by the imperial government, but by those bandits with Liangshan Mountain.

As a result, the commoners benefited, and the large clans targeted the bandits with their hatred. Under the threat of the bandits, they became even more dependant on the imperial court.

At the same time, Shen Muqing obtained the hearts of both the aristocratic families and the common people. He obtained both the fish and the bear's paw. With his actions, he proved one thing: he could obtain the hearts of both the common people and the big families.

However, the four generals and the two women did not share their speculations. This question was too tricky. The bandits were commoners who had lost their lands.

They could only keep the matter of how they would treat their family after breaking through the city. They could not say it out loud, and once they did, even Shen Muqing would leave behind his reputation as a scolder.

After a moment of silence, Xu Da said to Shen Muqing, "As long as Your Highness gives the order, I will pacify those traitors!"

Shen Muqing narrowed his eyes and said: "There's no need to rush, the Qingzhou is so eroded, we can't take advantage of this opportunity to take care of them, those poisonous tumors of the various big families will also stir up, and there will be hidden dangers. This king will not do anything, we have to do it the best!"

The four of them looked at each other. Qi Jiguang said, "When will we go?"

Shen Muqing said, "You have traveled a long distance, and the soldiers and horses under your command are already very tired. In this period of time, I will take a break and get the military to send you some new equipment. As for the four of you, go to the office now and arrange everything.

The four men were pleasantly surprised, and they said in unison, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
