And this question was answered when the second son caught Zhou Li.

When Erlang caught Zhou, he didn't even look at the things around him and rushed straight towards the small wooden sword and the book of war.

That's right, rush.

Zhao Erlang has been different from ordinary children since he was born.

Not only was he born with a big head and a big brain, but his whole body was larger than that of a normal child.

He even learns to walk faster than ordinary children.

The strength is also amazing.

At only one year old, he can walk and run, and he is surprisingly tall.

This doesn't look like a one-year-old child. Some people believe it if it is said to be two or three years old.

Zhao Erlang holds a wooden sword in his left hand and a military book in his right hand.

Then he raised his head to the sky and said the first word in his life: "Hit!"

He couldn't speak clearly, and except for Zhao Ceying and Mo Lan, no one else heard him clearly, and they only thought he was talking big.

In this way, Zhao Erlang slowly began to reveal his talents.

And Zhao Ceying also decided on his name, Zhao Chong, on this day.

Shortly after Zhao Chong captured Zhou Li, the official chose to abdicate.

Zhao Zongquan's original intention was not to be an emperor.

He only wanted the people to be fed and clothed, and he didn't like the struggle in the court.

Seeing Zhao Ceying mature a lot after implementing the reduction of redundant troops.

The officials also abdicated with relief.

He knew that Mo Lan's daughter-in-law was capable, and he also knew that Shen's ears were soft.

In order to prevent Shen from sowing discord after becoming the Queen Mother.

After Zhao Zongquan abdicated, he took Shen to the suburbs to retire.

And Zhao Ceying ascended to the throne without any accident and became an official.

After becoming an official, he began the second step of changes.

First, a group of people who supported the reform were promoted, including Chang Feng's father-in-law.

There are also Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu and others.

Then let Wang Anshi come up with his desired reform strategy and discuss it with Ouyang Xiu and others.

Some of Wang Anshi's reforms were good policies, but some were not feasible.

Because some policies are too idealistic.

Moreover, Wang Anshi, Han Qi and others had different views on the reform.

Wang Anshi's ideas were too extreme. The purpose was to enrich the country and strengthen the army, rather than putting enriching the people first.

But Han Qi and others are different.

Han Qi and others believe in Confucianism, which is consistent with Fan Zhongyan’s idea of ​​worrying about the world first and rejoicing after the world is happy.

They wanted to enrich the people and the country, so they strongly disagreed with some of Wang Anshi's reform policies.

However, the thoughts of Han Qi and others are too conservative.

So Mo Lan asked Zhao Ceying to put these people together to discuss practical policies for the reform.

Neither too conservative nor too drastic.

The most important thing is to put the people first.

These people selected by Zhao Ceying and Mo Lan are all concerned about the country and the people, and are even willing to pay the price for their ideals.

What they are afraid of is not the difficulty of the reform, but that the officials, like Renzong, will give up halfway.

What I fear is the backstab from the officials.

Especially Han Qi and others, who have experienced backstabbing from officials, are able to muster the courage to think about reform again, which is already very remarkable.

If they hadn't seen Zhao Ceying's determination, they wouldn't have dared to engage in reform again.

After Wang Anshi was persuaded by Zhao Ceying, he finally changed his thinking of enriching the country and strengthening the army.

After this group of people discussed a feasible policy, the pilot program began.

Zhao Ceying overcame all opinions and chose a state capital for Wang Anshi and Fan Chunren to conduct reform experiments.

And given great rights.

Fan Chunren inherited Fan Zhongyan's will and has always been people-oriented.

With him here, there is no fear that Wang Anshi will go astray.

A three-year period will be used to see the effectiveness of the reform.

Especially the Young Crops Law, which was actually good, but in order to complete the tasks, the officials below ensured the income from interest.

Therefore, apportionment was forced and the scope and scale of lending under the Qingmiao Law were expanded. The threshold for lending has been raised.

As a result, the landlord class became the main force in lending under the Green Crop Law, excluding the common people.

Later, these landlords lent large amounts of money to the common people.

As a result, the Young Crops Law became a tool to squeeze the common people.

Zhao Ceying and Mo Lan asked Wang Anshi and Fan Chunren to conduct a pilot test just to find a solution.

Of course, the DPRK sergeants and officials, except for the reformists, all strongly opposed the decision to pilot it.

Zhao Ceying defied all opinions and decided to conduct a pilot project.

Some scholar-bureaucrats forced him because of the greatness of his ancestors, but Zhao Ceying was not a vegetarian either.

Even if Zhao Ceying wanted to back down, Mo Lan would not allow her to back down.

When the scholar-officials remonstrated, Mo Lan asked the imperial doctor to stay by his side.

Some scholar-bureaucrats threatened to resign, so Zhao Ceying directly agreed.

Anyway, there were already many officials in the Song Dynasty, and one more and one less would be just that.

Those people saw that Zhao Ceying was determined to have his own way, so they could only resort to frame-up methods.

Just like when Fan Zhongyan and others presided over the Qingli New Deal, these people used trapping methods to arouse Renzong's suspicion, and the reform failed.

Unfortunately, they made the wrong decision.

This time, Zhao Ceying's determination and Mo Lan were behind her.

Zhao Ceying did not doubt the reformists.

Instead, Chang Bai was asked to investigate thoroughly who framed him.

Once found out, they will be executed directly.

This approach directly caused an uproar in the court.

Execute!

This is a scholar-official!

At present, more courtiers objected and insisted on protecting those sentenced to death by Zhao Ceying.

He even used the methods of his ancestors to suppress Zhao Ceying.

Faced with so much opposition, Zhao Ceying once wavered.

But Mo Lan would never allow him to waver.

Not only did he give him advice on how to divide the courtiers, but he also brainwashed him into wanting to become an emperor for eternity. How could anyone not kill the scholar-bureaucrats? Let Zhao Ceying become more and more tough.

This is the key point in the confrontation between king and minister.

If Zhao Ceying withdraws this time, it will be difficult to continue even the pilot reform, let alone comprehensive reform.

After Zhao Ceying heard this, he directly forcibly executed those people.

At this time, the courtiers exploded.

They didn't expect that Zhao Ceying would really dare to violate the ancestral system!

So he tried to use means to threaten Zhao Ceying, but Mo Lan resolved them one by one.

While Mo Lan resolved the problem, she sincerely thanked Sheng Hong.

Thanks to Sheng Hong for his ability to find in-laws.

It really helped her a lot.

While Zhao Ceying and Mo Lan were battling wits and courage with the courtiers, Wang Anshi's pilot reforms also bore fruit.

In the past three years, their reforms have not been smooth sailing.

But fortunately, the purpose of the pilot is to find the correct path to reform.

The two of them corrected in time, summarized the mistakes, and finally formulated a feasible reform path.

So the Song Dynasty began a comprehensive reform.

The main purpose is to suppress the landlord class.

Implement the Young Crops Law, curb land annexation, and reform the military system.

Then step by step, redundant officials will be laid off to solve the problem of redundant costs.

Take it step by step, fast or slow.

This time, Mo Lan suppressed Zhao Ceying's impatience and controlled the speed of the reform.

Although the scholar-bureaucrats objected too fiercely, their opposition was ineffective.

Every one counts, and anyone who objects because of their own interests will be suppressed.
