Today they went to Fanlou to drink, which can be regarded as celebrating the lease of 70 mu of land.

Hu Quan raised his glass and said, "Come on, everyone, let's have a drink."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it down.

Just after drinking, a voice came from around: "I don't know who it is, it turns out that a group of mud legs are making noise here!"

Zhang Bolin turned around to look, but saw Liu Wenchang walking in with someone, his face immediately darkened.

Hu Quan pulled Zhang Bolin's clothes and said, "There is no need to haggle with him."

Zhang Bolin held back his breath.

But Liu Wenchang didn't give in, he continued to taunt: "You don't go to the fields to farm, what are you doing here!"

Several people following Liu Wenchang laughed loudly.

Hu Quan stood up and said, "We drink here, do we still need your consent?"

"I'm worried that you're going to dirty this place, and you don't even look at it. Whoever comes to Fanlou is either rich or expensive, just a few of you?" Liu Wenchang mocked, "Oh, I forgot, all of you are now What kind of official is that, what is it?"

A person next to him said, "Agricultural Affairs Secretary."

"Yes! The officials of the Department of Agricultural Affairs, yo, have you been promoted and made a fortune? Have you lost your confidence? You actually came to Fanlou?" Liu Wenchang said bitterly.

Zhang Bolin was about to explode and was suppressed by Hu Quan.

Xi Chong on the side asked curiously: "What kind of government office is the Secretary of Agriculture?"

"The yamen for subletting farming!" Liu Wenchang sneered, "Brother Xi, you haven't been in the capital for two years. This agricultural affairs department is a new yamen that came out last year, and Chen Dong is in charge."

Xi Chong was taken aback: "Chen Dong actually became an official?"

"Isn't that right? I heard that they went through the back door." Liu Wenchang was unwilling to do so. He was also a Tai student, so why did Chen Dong go to the Department of Agricultural Affairs instead of him.

He was full of jealousy towards the Secretary of Agriculture.

Anyway, his father is also a member of the household department, Wailang, who is in charge of the household registration and land registration statistics of Jingji Road and the surrounding roads, and he will be able to be an official after graduating from the Imperial College next year.

Some of the things that the Secretary of Agricultural Affairs does should actually be the work of the Ministry of Households.

"Some people, even if they get promoted, are just lowly mud legs!" Liu Wenchang continued to sneer.

Zhang Bolin couldn't bear it any longer, and said angrily, "What did you say! Liu Wenchang, say it again!"

"I said that some people, even if they are promoted, are nothing but lowly mud legs!" Liu Wenchang said again with a smile.

Xi Chong pulled Liu Wenchang and said, "Zhongwen, don't talk anymore, I am going back to Beijing this time to keep a low profile."

"Don't worry, Brother Xi, they don't dare to make noise, they are a group of untouchables, if you say something about them, you can think highly of them!"

Zhang Bolin rolled up his sleeves, broke away from Hu Quan, and rushed forward.

The rest of the officials of the Department of Agricultural Affairs and officials also rushed up.

Liu Wenchang didn't expect Zhang Bolin to make a move here, and before he could react, Zhang Bolin punched him in the nose.

Nosebleeds immediately.

The rest of the people also rushed up and beat them up.

People like Zhang Bolin dared to hate even Zhao Gou, who became the emperor, in history.

Hu Quan looked at the posture and couldn't control it anymore. Forget it, let's rush up by himself.

Zhao Ning had just finished handling official duties in the Wende Hall and was about to go to bed when he heard that the officials and staff of the Agricultural Affairs Department had fought with the imperial students of the Imperial College, and some people were seriously injured.

Chapter 191 The Storm Is Coming (Part [-])

Zhao Ning had just read Wang Zonglin's report on the sale of soap, and was having fun secretly, preparing for a good night's sleep, when he received this news.

And in the middle of the night, it was Gao Lian who sent the news.

Gao Qiu is the deputy commander of the Dianqian Department, a proper ministerial-level senior official, but he is concerned about the brawl in the tavern in the capital, and enters the palace in the middle of the night.

It shows that the situation is very serious.

Zhao Ning changed his clothes and listened to Gao Qi's report as if adding fuel and vinegar.

Many officials and officials of the Agricultural Administration Department were directly appointed by the outstanding students promoted by the Imperial College, and the other side was also the imperial student of the Imperial College.

Is it equivalent to fighting within the Imperial College?

"You just said that there is a seriously injured person, what's his name?"

"What is Hu Quan?"

Hu Quan?

What the hell!

Zhao Ning's heart was shocked, and he quickly asked, "How is the injury?"

"The doctor has been invited."

"I asked how the injury is?"

"Should...should have been broken!"

Zhao Ning's face darkened.

This is so special, deliberately finding fault, right?

That Hu Quan was deliberately thrown by Zhao Ning in the Department of Agricultural Affairs to train, and he will take on a big responsibility in the future.

In history, this guy was one of the four famous ministers of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he was as famous as Zhao Ding, Li Gang, and Li Guang.

"You mean, Zhang Bolin from the Agricultural Administration made the move first?"

"Yes, but I heard that Liu Wenchang insulted them."

"How to insult?"

"What a bunch of despicable mud legs!"

"really?"

"It's true."

"It's unreasonable! You are too courageous, you dare to insult the court officials in public!"

Gao Qiu rolled his eyes and said, "Officials, Liu Wenchang's father is Liu Yuzhi, a member of the household department."

"What do you want to say?"

"What I mean by this is that the work that the Secretary of Agricultural Affairs is currently doing was originally performed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Could this be a long-planned revenge?"

"Do you have evidence?"

"This...not for the time being."

"Don't make groundless rumors about things that don't exist."

"Yes."

Gao Qiu quickly shut up, it seems that although the Zhao family has a violent temper and likes to kill people, they don't know how to catch wind and shadow.

"Wang Huaiji."

"The minister is here."

"Go to the imperial doctor and ask Gao Lian to take him to see Hu Quan."

"This...official family, then Hu Quan is just a..."

"Go!"

"Yes Yes!"

Gao Qiu's eyeballs rolled up again, it seemed that this Hu Quan was not simple, Zhao Guan's family actually used their own imperial doctor.

"By the way, the official family, I heard a somewhat familiar name among those people."

"what name?"

"Xi Chong."

"Who is this person?"

"Son of Xi Gong, envoy of Qianjingyuan Road."

"It's his son."

"Xi Chong studied in Taiyuan Academy a few years ago, and Enyin took an official position the year before last, and went to the Northwest to be an idle official."

"Since you are an idle official in the northwest, why did you suddenly appear in Bianjing?"

"I'm afraid it's coming..."

"What are you doing?"

"Maybe it's for accommodation."

Zhao Ning understood, this is to save his father!

Xi Gong escaped during the Battle of Chang'an, causing the army to collapse, and has been escorted back to the capital for interrogation.

"You go and look into this matter."

"Yes!"

After Gao Qiu left, he took the imperial doctor and hurried to find Hu Quan. He planned to get close to Hu Quan and have a relationship with him.

Zhao Ning tossed and turned alone in Wende Hall.

He originally wanted the Secretary of Agricultural Affairs to keep a low profile. It seems that the Secretary of Agricultural Affairs is now dealing with the affairs of the royal estate, but in fact he is cultivating talents for the future land revolution.

As long as the 400 million mu of land is digested, the entire Department of Agricultural Affairs will inevitably rise to a higher level in handling government affairs. When the time comes to rectify the land properties on the two roads in Huainan, they can start to make drastic changes.

The agrarian revolution would have killed the landlords and big bureaucrats. If the Secretary of Agriculture had attracted many forces in the imperial court at this time, their administrative resistance would inevitably be very large.

But when things got to this point, the imperial students of the Imperial College fought each other in Fanlou, this matter is no small matter!

Since there is no way to keep a low profile, let's not keep a low profile!

The fight between Guozijian students and officials from the Department of Agricultural Affairs was quickly spread by those with a heart.

On the morning of the second day, Zhao Ning received several letters about impeachment.

These people's spring and autumn writing skills are really good. If they live in the 21st century, they can basically be new media writers.

In their writing, what happened last night became that the imperial court ordered officials to beat Tai students in public, causing many righteous Tai students to be seriously injured.

After a while, Gao Qiu came suddenly.

"Official, look at this."

Zhao Ning took a look and was slightly surprised: Good guy, Tokyo Express?

"Where did this come from?"

"Street bought."

"Go, seal it for me, and burn all the newspapers."

"Yes!"

It seems that the standardization of newspapers has to be put on the agenda. Some people have already felt that newspapers are an important tool of public opinion, and they have begun to occupy the high ground of public opinion privately.

This is to allow it to develop without any control, isn't it going to mess things up?

However, the fight last night continued to ferment.

As soon as Gao Qiu left, Zhao Ding came.

He also came to talk about the fight between officials of the Department of Agricultural Affairs and Tai students.

Zhao Ding said: "Officials, this matter is not groundless. Why did that Liu Wenchang ridicule the officials of the Department of Agricultural Affairs in public? I am afraid that it is something behind the scenes, or someone instigates it."

Zhao Guanjia said: "Why did you say that?"

Zhao Ding is not the type to just open his mouth. He speaks and analyzes the problem with reason and evidence. Even if he said so, it seems that the problem is really as he guessed.

"Some time ago, the officials promoted Chen Dong to be the chief minister of farming. Some officials whispered in the lower floors and criticized the agricultural affairs department. The officials were wondering why so many officials were recruited since they were dealing with the royal estate. And why was Chen Dong promoted so high?"

Zhao Ning thought for a while and said, "I originally planned to keep a low profile on the 400 million acres of land, but now it seems that I can't keep a low profile."

Zhao Ding said again: "Officials, the minister of Huangtian in Hebei estimated a figure. Nearly ten million mu of land has not been claimed. The minister sent people to Zhaozhou to investigate and calculated it. And it is only a lot more."
