Hope for luck

Chapter 404 Heavy Resistance
On the official road from Dantang County to Jeju City, Gao Pan was galloping on an ordinary big yellow horse.

I saw that his face was full of spring breeze at the moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised an arc, he patted the horse freely, and headed towards the north quickly.

This made the messenger who was following him in the governor's yamen even more surprised. I don't know what good thing happened to Gao Pan, so he seemed so happy?
And only Gao Pan knew that when he left, he pretended to be angry and asked Ning Yan and Luo Ying to agree to his rude request, but in the end they had no choice but to agree due to the situation.

Although he was honest with them, it was Gao Pan's first time to let them kiss him face to face.

Even the generous Ning Yan, with a flushed face, hurried away from Gao Pan, and Luo Ying even ran away with a blushing face.

Only Gao Pan walked out of the backyard with a satisfied face and a smirk.

Before he had time to give too many orders, Gao Pan got on his horse and rushed towards Jeju City with light clothes.

The distance between the two places is only more than 200 miles. Gao Pan didn't stop much along the way, and finally entered the city of Jeju before the sun set.

There was no time to take a rest, so he went directly to the Governor's Yamen, and saw Ye Haikun who seemed a little bit battered at the moment.

Ye Haikun looked very happy and enthusiastic after seeing Gao Pan, who was busy in the world, first asked someone to serve him tea, and then asked him to sit down hastily, and then said:

"Kochi County, you've finally arrived. I'm so helpless now that I can't move an inch. That's why I'm in a hurry to call you here for discussion."

Seeing this, Gao Pan took a sip of tea, then stood up and replied respectfully:
"I'm going to see Mr. Futai... I don't know what happened to Mr. Futai?"

Ye Haikun said with guilt on his face:
"It's troublesome for you. The gentry and landowners in Jeju City gathered together to make trouble, saying that they were determined not to implement the New Deal, and they were about to stir up a civil uprising. Dong Shi in the capital wrote back to me, saying that the old party was after him. In this matter, I deeply feel the crisis of life and death, so I have to call you in a hurry."

As he said that, Ye Haikun remembered something else:

"By the way, Master Dong also reminded me in the letter that I should discuss with you. This new policy is what you came up with, and there should be a proper solution."

After all, Ye Haikun looked at Gao Pan eagerly, as if putting all his hopes on Gao Pan.

After Gao Pan heard the news, his heart was very calm. The promotion of the New Deal would definitely encounter a lot of resistance. He knew it a long time ago. After all, it was something that offended all the gentry in the world.

Fortunately, this is the era of supremacy of imperial power. No matter how dissatisfied these gentry are, they can only make trouble within the rules. Some people in the court want to take the opportunity to deny the New Deal, which is also within Gao Pan's expectation.

Not to mention that the new party and the old party were deliberately separated to form a confrontation. Even if this was not the case, many people would find out and oppose it.

After all, the most powerful gentry in the world is naturally the officials of the imperial court. If they don't speak up for the gentry class at this time, then they are blind and stupid.

What's more, Gao Pan is not too surprised that some people deliberately create opposition, and the old conservative party will make a fuss about it.

After thinking about it, Gao Pan asked calmly:
"Master Ye, don't panic. Some people want to take the opportunity to make a fuss and deny the New Deal. It's reasonable. What we have to do now is not to back down. Since the New Deal was proposed, our new party has no way out... "

"This is a war without gunpowder, and it is also a life-and-death struggle. In the end, either the New Deal will be spread, or the conservatives will still stand on the court."

The new parties and political factions that proposed reforms in history all ended in failure, and the end was naturally extremely tragic.

But for Gao Pan, he will not simply surrender and back down so easily. Since he has to live a new life, he has to bring something to this world. He will definitely do what the previous reformers did not do this time.

Let the new party replace the stubborn conservative old party, and let the gentry in the world pay taxes and pay the same as ordinary people. As long as the gentry pay more, the common people can pay less, which can be regarded as indirectly benefiting the common people.

"Kochi County, even though that's the case, what should we do with the current situation? If it continues, those gentry and landlords will sway the people, and the court will definitely say that our new party has provoked a popular uprising, and things will be bad."

Regarding Gao Pan's remarks, Ye Haikun was secretly a little surprised, and once again said their biggest crisis at present.

After Gao Pan listened, he replied calmly:

"I know what your lord said, and I ask you to draw up a list of the gentry who oppose you the most. In addition, I feel that they don't dare to really make a big fuss. The army of the Beijing camp is still in Dongshan. Well, if they dare to make trouble, they will be regarded as rebels!"

After hearing this, Ye Haikun's eyes flickered, and he asked quite worriedly:
"If this is the case, will it irritate them even more, and we will be passive by then."

Gao Pan said lightly:

"Don't worry, my lord. Dongshan has just recovered. They really dare to make a big fuss. My lord can only think of it as rebels. In addition, the lower official speculates that there may be someone behind these gentry, otherwise, they will not gather together with one heart. Against the government, the crime of rebellion is not a small crime!"

After hearing this, Ye Haikun calmed down, stroked his long beard, and sighed softly:
"Well, I have been in the officialdom for a long time, but I didn't expect that I haven't seen it as thoroughly as you. What Master Dong said is very true. In the future, the person who will carry the banner of the new party must be you, Gao Yunlou!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Pan respectfully replied:

"Elder Dong and Your Excellency are serious. I am just a small bamboo behind you and Elder Dong. I just hope that I can grow up stubbornly under your protection."

These words made Ye Haikun burst out laughing:

"Hahaha, your bamboo, I'm afraid it will go straight up to the sky, and I'm afraid it won't be long before I have to seek your protection."

After hearing this, Gao Pan couldn't say anything more, so he had to humbly say a few words on the occasion, and then got down to business.

Ye Haikun also came back to his senses, knowing that he had gone astray, so he asked someone to bring a booklet, and in front of Gao Pan, he wrote down some prominent families and famous gentry.

The first one is the Kong family with the title of "Yan Shenggong". After seeing this, Gao Pan was shocked. If the Kong family also took the lead in opposing the New Deal, it means that all scholars in the world will oppose it.

It seems that taking down the Kong family is the most important thing, and Gao Pan suddenly thought, if the Kong family is taken down, does that mean that the 'barrier' has been broken?Said the 'leader' of the die-hard old school?
Thinking of this, Gao Pan secretly made up his mind that this Kong family must be taken first, and it happened to let his family set an example for all the scholars, gentry and landlords in the world, which is of great significance for the implementation of the New Deal in the world.
