Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Yes, I will do it now!" Zhao Ding was agitated by Zhao Guan's additional remarks, "By the way, the person who proposed the reform must face enormous pressure. This person..."

Zhao Ning said: "You are all ministers of mine. The Jin people are selfless. The century-old bad government of the Song Dynasty has reached the point where it has to be restructured!"

Everyone quickly said: "I would like to lead the way for His Majesty, and die later."

"Alright, Si Nong Chen!"

Chen Dong came out: "The minister is here!"

"It's up to you to report the new agricultural policy on Gyeonggi Road."

"The minister leads the order!"

"Li Guang."

"Chen is here!"

"All the officials of the Gyeonggi Road Transit Department fully cooperate with Chen Dong's new agricultural policy, and those who do not cooperate will be dismissed!"

"The minister leads the order!"

"Gao Qiu."

"Chen is here!"

"The Jinren Xizuo may have infiltrated our Great Song Dynasty. You quickly go to Sibanzhi, the imperial city, and arrest the Jinren Xizuo at Sifu, Jingji Road."

"Yes!" Gao Qiu replied, this is not careful work, this is clearly monitoring the public opinion of Sifu and making reports at any time.

"Uncle Zhang Ye."

"Chen is here!"

"Recently, people's livelihood has been declining, and bandits are everywhere. You quickly dispatched the imperial guards and stationed in the fourth auxiliary area of ​​Gyeonggi Road, and strictly guarded it."

"The minister takes orders!"

After everyone retreated, Zhao Ding was left alone in Wende Hall.

"Officer, what else can I order?"

Zhao Ning walked to the map, stared at the map of Da Song, and said, "Mr. Zhao, I have been thinking about some issues recently."

"I don't know what worries the officials have?"

"What are we doing this for?"

"Of course it's for the people of Song Dynasty."

"I mean, are there some clear goals?"

"Target?" Zhao Ding was a little surprised.

Zhao Ning thought for a moment, then said: "I want to set a big goal, and everything to be done at any stage is for this big goal. The opening of the New Deal requires a big goal."

Zhao Ding was taken aback by the emperor's words.

Zhao Ning looked at the map of the Kingdom of Jin, and then at the map of Xixia.

"Your Majesty's goal is naturally to resist gold."

"What if you want to destroy gold?"

"This……"

Zhao Ding was a little hesitant. I'm afraid no one in the court has thought about such a thing as exterminating gold.

After all, the Great Song Dynasty had confronted the Liao Kingdom for more than 100 years and failed to destroy the Liao Dynasty, but now the power displayed by the Jin Kingdom is really strong.

"Zhao Xianggong hesitated, I will set this goal, destroy gold!"

Zhao Ding was not excited, but felt a lot of pressure. If the goal was set beyond the scope of actual ability, it would be just empty talk.

For more than 100 years in the Song Dynasty, even the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun did not take it back.

"Destroying gold is a big goal. I will make a ten-year plan again. The goal of the ten-year plan will drag the war between Song and Jin into a protracted war. How about destroying Xixia first?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to destroy gold, you must first destroy Xixia."

"We are now an ally with Xixia. We should not publicize this matter. We should first establish a solid relationship with Xixia, drag the war with Jin into a protracted war, and then destroy Xixia after the Great Song's own problems are resolved."

"Once Xixia is destroyed, go out from the northwest and unite with the Mughals on the grasslands to form a constraint on the Kingdom of Jin from the west. When the time comes, let the Kingdom of Jin try the taste of fighting on two fronts!"

Zhao Guanjia looked at the map and was a little dazed: "It's just that this ten-year plan involves too many things. Today's Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Policy is just one of them."

"First, the new official school, establish a bureaucratic system with fast upload and release, and strengthen the mobilization system of the Song Dynasty."

"Secondly, the new university will continue to send new talents to the New Deal and the front line."

"Thirdly, the Gewu Academy recruits talents from all over the world to develop gunpowder, agricultural fertilizers and other items that can achieve twice the result with half the effort. With the current farmland output, there is still room for improvement. The talents I am looking for are already on their way to Beijing."

"Fourth, the restructuring of the Salt and Iron Bureau has to be put on the agenda."

"In its five- and ten-year plan, the most important thing is to fight against the gold and eliminate the summer. The most important thing is the continuous supply of food. The north is barren and the logistics are difficult."

Zhao Guanjia glanced at Zhao Ding, and said in a deep tone: "So, the new agricultural policy may be a bloodbath, and you will be that Wang Jiefu!"

Zhao Ding's whole body trembled, his face turned pale, and his forehead was sweating a little, but he still said in a firm tone: "I understand, Your Majesty's kindness to you, I will never hesitate to die!"

The controversy caused by Wang Anshi's reform has not subsided even after the failure of Wang Anshi's reform. Many people even blame Wang Anshi's reform for the weakness of the Song Dynasty.

Now that the Zhao family is preparing to start a new policy publicly, who is under the greatest pressure?

Apart from the emperor, of course the prime minister is under the greatest pressure.

This year's prime minister is not good!

Now it is spraying Chen Dong, and in the near future, it will definitely start spraying Zhao Ding.

On the first day of June in the third year of Jingkang, the Tokyo Daily began to deploy staff to Gongzhou in the east, Zhengzhou in the west, Yingchang in the south, and Chanzhou in the north.

The Fourth Auxiliary of Gyeonggi is an important place to defend the capital, and it is also the top priority.

Also on the same day, the commanders of the Imperial City Division also entered Sifu.

On the second day of June, the Military and Political Council issued an order to transfer troops, which was finally signed by Zhao Guanjia. On the grounds of calming down the banditry, [-] more troops were sent to Sifu each.

On the same day, the Zhengshitang promulgated the "Regulations on the Benefits of Merchants on Gyeonggi Road", which provided preferential policies for salt and tea imports to large merchants in various prefectures.

Also on the same day, the Gyeonggi Road Transit Department Yamen called together all the officials who had collected the agricultural tax in the past on the grounds that the summer tax would be collected soon, and cared about the salary distribution and welfare policies of the officials in every possible way.

And the "Regulations for Officials of Gyeonggi Road" was introduced. Officials can enter the new official school, receive teaching, pass the exam, and be promoted to officials.

This is an attempt to reform the system of officials.

The Great Song Dynasty had the problem of weak officials and strong officials. Many specific executions had to be carried out by officials, but officials were often looked down upon by officials.

This kind of contradiction actually caused a great loss to the administrative execution of the imperial court. For example, at the beginning of the third Song-Jin War, the officials on Jingdong East Road went on strike because of salary arrears.

Officials have no sense of belonging to the imperial court, they just use money to do things.

The tentative reform of officials on Gyeonggi Road is to improve the treatment of officials, and to open up channels for officials to be promoted, so that officials can fully integrate into the bureaucratic system.

On the sixth day of June, Chen Dong, the chief minister of agricultural affairs, submitted the "New Agricultural Policy of Gyeonggi Road" to the imperial court.

Chapter 194 The Rain Is Coming

In fact, Zhao Ning still left a lot of room to paralyze people in the Gyeonggi-ro New Deal.

For example, the wartime state promoted by the newspapers in Sifu, so that the entire Gyeonggi Road is still deeply in the haze of war, in order to find support from the public for his reform behavior.

To put it simply, these reforms are for the purpose of defending the country.

This is called seizing the mountain of righteousness, and it is one of the necessary means for qualified politicians.

As long as they don't cooperate with the New Deal, the people of Gyeonggi Road will feel that they are disregarding the survival of the world for their own selfish desires.

Only in this way can the image of the imperial court's new policy be bright and upright be erected in the hearts of the people.

This is winning the hearts and minds of the people, not just a few simple slogans and the people's hearts and minds will be surrendered in an instant.

This is the best strategy in the game of three parties.

The public opinion newspaper took the lead.

After all, if you want to compete with the landlords for resources, you have to control the public opinion, otherwise you will be occupied by the gentry.

As for the "New Agricultural Policy of Gyeonggi Road" reported by Chen Dong, it first caused strong reactions in Dongfu, and even fierce quarrels.

The bosses of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu provinces discussed behind closed doors.

It is said that the sound of dropping stools and smashing glasses can be vaguely heard.

After a full two hours, several deputy prime ministers came out with old faces as if they had been soaked in bitter melon water for three days and three nights.

Shangshu Zuocheng Cai Mao shouted loudly: "Zhao Ding, you are harming the country, you are the next Wang Anshi, no! You are the next Cai Jing! The Song Dynasty will perish in your hands!"

At the beginning, the news was suppressed in Dongfu, until Zhao Ding approved the report, the news spread immediately, causing a big shock.

It was first rumored that the new agricultural policy of Gyeonggi Road was to check the fertile land. It is said that when Kang Wang Zhao Gou was checking the clan, he involved his relatives and concealed too much land.

So the imperial court is now going to check the fields in the entire Gyeonggi Road.

Who owns most of the fields on Gyeonggi Road?

Now that the land of the clan and relatives has been handed over, who owns the remaining 700 million mu of land?

Most of them are officials and wealthy businessmen.

If you want to check the fields on Gyeonggi Road, it is equivalent to checking their background.

Is this okay?

Now fry the pan directly!

really?

This must be fake news!

For example, Chen Jieran, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, laughed and said: "This must be fake news, it can't be true."

Quite a few people also thought that this was impossible, but on second thought, they even searched the fields of the clan and relatives, not only checked, but also confiscated!

Next, according to the procedures, the prime minister presided over the drafting of the new policy in the East Mansion, and then sent it to Wende Hall for imperial approval.

This new policy was hardly discussed, that is, the prime minister and deputy prime minister of the Eastern Mansion closed the door and had a fight... Oh no, it was discussed politely, and finally Zhao Ding pressed it down and passed it.

This led to many officials not knowing when Zhao Guanjia signed it.

After the content of the new policy was announced, the court hall in Tokyo City was like a nuclear bomb falling.

The news spread to all directions, and for a while, the official circles of the capital were full of turmoil.

For this reason, Zhao Ning even selected a group of highly skilled imperial guards to be Chen Dong's bodyguards.

This is how it was published.

The leaves outside the Wende Hall are motionless, and the hot summer in Tokyo is like a huge steamer, where everything is steamed and roasted.

There was no wind, only the chirping of Xia Chan.

The clouds in the distance seemed to be still in the sky.

The depression before the storm is always such a strange dead silence, which is dull and suffocating.

At this time, after a person entered the palace, he was brought to the Wende Hall.

"The guilty minister sees His Majesty."

"You came."

"I don't know why His Majesty summoned the criminals?"

At this time, the person in Wende Hall was none other than the former Prime Minister He Li.

"How was it in prison?"

"Day and night the guilty minister confesses his crime."

Zhao Ning put down his pen, put the article he just wrote aside, drank a cup of tea, and then said slowly: "How to repent?"

"The guilty minister should never trust that Taoist priest named Guo Jing, the guilty minister is ashamed of his majesty's trust in the minister."

Zhao Ning picked up the letter on the table and handed it to He Li himself: "Look at it yourself first."

He Li was a little puzzled, took it, and started to read it one by one.

Every time I read a copy, my face sank a bit.
