Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Who is the successor in Tokyo?"

"I don't know who will take over the minister, but it must be someone from the Hong Chu (chu) faction."

Zhao Ning was glad that he didn't intercept the one hundred sheep at that time.

Let the one hundred sheep enter Tokyo, and track them down, and you can find a line hidden in the court.

Besides Hong Chu, is there anyone else?

You know, during the second defense of Tokyo, there were a large number of surrenderers in the court!

Later, Zhao Ning beheaded a group of heads, and the rest of them hid themselves well.

Chapter 295 Sitting high in the Nine Heavens, Who Knows Lonely? (Second more)

The head of the magistrate of Julu County was beheaded in the evening two days ago. The news spread in the county town, shocking everyone.

Some people said that a group of horse bandits entered the county magistrate's office at that time, took the life of the magistrate, and hacked to death the official Wang of the county.

The head was hanging at the gate of the magistrate's yamen, and the scene was once very bloody.

I heard that the yamen servants at that time were frightened several times, and the county magistrate, who had already returned home to rest, rushed to the yamen immediately after hearing the news.

After Wang Daguan's wife, daughter and concubine heard about it, they cried and fainted several times.

The next day, the county magistrate sent someone to Xingzhou to inform the magistrate.

After all, the death of the magistrate is a big deal.

There was also a lot of discussion among the people for a while, saying that it was the horse bandits who did the evil, the county was not safe, and even the county magistrate would dare to kill, maybe it was a group of vicious people.

For this reason, many people dare not even go out during the day.

Early in the morning on May 23, Zheng Xi and Zheng Ling arrived near the county seat of Julu County.

Zheng Xi asked his younger sister, "Sister Ling, are you hungry?"

Zheng Ling shook her head: "Not hungry."

"I heard that Lao Li, a blacksmith in the south of the city, is a good crafter. After re-sharpening this sickle, I can harvest more wheat and save a little bit to prepare a dowry for you."

Zheng Ling said with a smile: "What dowry do you want, you can keep it for your wife."

It was just dawn and there were not many people on the road.

Zheng Ling was curious: "Brother, why are there so few people coming to the county today?"

On one side, a middle-aged man was carrying a pole and said, "You don't know yet?"

"what do you know?"

"The county magistrate and the county official Wang were killed!"

The two brothers and sisters were taken aback, thinking they had heard it wrong, Zheng Xi reconfirmed: "Is that the official Wang?"

"There is only one person in Julu County who dares to be called a king and official." The middle-aged man said darkly and solemnly, "I heard that he was killed in the magistrate's yamen, his head was chopped off, and hung in the yamen door."

Zheng Xi stayed where he was.

He remembered that a few days ago, Wang Mazi personally took people to his village to collect grain. The only pig in the village was slaughtered and eaten by Wang Mazi on the spot.

Zheng Ling asked nervously, "Has the murderer been caught?"

"Not yet, but I heard that it was a group of people on horseback, and that they were fierce horse bandits nearby, so no one dared to come to the county town these two days."

At this time, a group of people on horseback roared from the front.

Pedestrians on the road followed the prestige and ran away in fright.

Someone else shouted loudly: "The horse bandits are coming! Everyone, run!"

Zheng Xi hurriedly pulled his sister to hide aside.

"Hey, Old Pan, look at those two people over there, are they the brother and sister we met in that village a few days ago?"

Pan Han looked away, saw Zheng Xi brother and sister, and laughed: "Really!"

Pan Hanli pulled the reins, and the team stopped. He rode on the horse and led the people towards Zheng Xi brothers and sisters.

Zheng Xi held the almost deformed sickle in his hand, with a vigilant look on his face, and Zheng Ling hid behind him.

Seeing this, other people around hurriedly shouted: "Run!"

Zheng Xi said vigilantly: "Don't come here! We have no grievances or enmities!"

"Little brother, have you forgotten us so soon?"

Zheng Ling said from behind: "Brother, they belong to that officer Zhao."

"It's you!"

Pan Hanli smiled and said, "Brother, do you remember?"

"you……"

"We are here for business in Julu County," said Liu Wenyan on the side.

"By the way, Officer Zhao also ordered us to bring you a message. Since we met here, I will tell you. You can tell them back. Your food will be returned in full as much as you have collected. Next, Julu County The government will deal with it."

Zheng Xi was startled, with an expression of disbelief.

"Also, your father was killed at the gate of the magistrate's yamen. Official Zhao has finished this matter for you. Official Zhao has already chopped off the head of the magistrate of Xinde Prefecture."

As soon as he said this, Zheng Xi was completely dumbfounded.

"If you don't believe me, just wait for the announcement. The Julu County government will announce the death of the prefect of Xinde Prefecture in the mansion newspaper."

The siblings didn't know what to say for a while.

After finishing speaking, Pan Hanli was about to enter Julu County with his people, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Guan's family had something to bring to Zheng Xi, Pan Hanli said, "What's your name?"

"My name is Zheng Xi."

"What about you?"

Zheng Ling was still hiding behind Zheng Xi, and whispered, "My name is Zheng Ling."

"Oh, it's okay, even my family officials asked me to bring you a sentence."

"Everything can be changed!"

"If you're interested, you can go to Tokyo and apply for the University of Tokyo. It doesn't matter if you can't read or write, there are answering tests."

After finishing speaking, Pan Hanli took the people away.

The remaining two brothers and sisters stood on the path for a long time without speaking.

Zheng Xi is the bottom of the people in this era, it is really difficult for him to change his destiny.

Zhao Ning is His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is even more difficult for him to change the entire Great Song Dynasty, even more difficult than ordinary people turning over.

Reform is a road of no return, lonely and incomprehensible.

It is even more about the wealth and lives of countless ordinary people, and all kinds of pressure weigh on their hearts like Mount Tai.

Is there any way out for Zhao Ning?

No more.

He has offended too many old faction forces, once the new deal fails, the Kingdom of Jin will definitely take the opportunity to go south, and the old faction will definitely take advantage of the situation to sacrifice him.

Sitting high in the nine heavens, who knows the loneliness?

Zhao Ning very much hoped that Zheng Xi would go to Tokyo by himself to change his life.

This is a kind of psychological empathy.

People can turn over only by themselves!

When a person really wants to change his destiny, even if there are knives everywhere in front of him, he can still walk on the ground.

Soon, the magistrate's office suddenly received an order.

Wang Rende's family was having a funeral, but a large group of government officials came and forcibly terminated the funeral.

In the morning, the heads of Wang Rende and Wang Mazi appeared at the gate of the city, attracting countless people to watch.

The mansion newspaper was also posted on the city wall, and a special person interpreted it for the onlookers.

Only then did the people in Julu County know that today, today, Hebei has been exempted from taxes for ten years.

The news of the tax exemption spread like a flood, and some people even happily ran on the street to tell each other.

The common people all praise Zhao Guanjia as a sage and benevolent king.

Time flies quickly, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

The heads of Lu Shouyi, Zhang Mu, and Zhou Yun began to be circulated on Hebei West Road.

Those officials who were still taking the opportunity to squeeze tax collection were so frightened that they almost didn't pass when they saw the head of their immediate boss.

The edict to report random tax collection also spread rapidly on Hebei West Road.

On the fifth day of June, the five counties of Xingtai County, Shahe County, Ren County, Yaoshan County, and Neiqiu County in Sindh Prefecture have been reported.

The people from Xinde Mansion's Office of Prisons and Prisons immediately sent people down to investigate.

After Zhang Mu's head was cut off, the officials of the Prison Office suddenly became very passionate about their work.

After this, all the magistrates of the five counties were investigated, and people were sent to Xingzhou in a blink of an eye.

Chapter 296 The Torn Trade War (Third)

The fact that Zhao Guan's family killed the three officials with the highest level in one breath on Hebei West Road was also reported back to the capital during this time.

The capital itself is already lively enough.

Many officials are threatening the imperial court by resigning to oppose the New Deal in Huaixi.

The two sides pinched each other, and the political affairs hall was full of quarrels every day.

There are a lot of things that can be discussed at the implementation level of various government orders.

Officials do not work, or deliberately find excuses to pile up work and not perform it.

The progress of each link is stuck, and the big and small yamen lose their temper.

Mutual blame, buck-passing.

In short, just one word: miasma.

If it wasn't for Zhao Ding to suppress the overall situation, I'm afraid they would have been flattened long ago.

Many people wanted to enter the palace to face the saint over and over again, but they were all rejected.

Now that the news about Hebei West Road has come back, the capital, which was already noisy, was silent at first, and then the pot exploded.

Has Zhao Guan's family gone to West Hebei Road?

Zhao Guan's family has gone to Hebei West Road!

And as soon as they passed by, the transfer envoys, prison envoys, and Changping envoys on Hebei West Road were cut off?

Hearing this news, everyone had an illusion, as if a butcher went to the pigsty and chopped up a few pigs.

Even Zhao Ding was shocked!

He received the edict from Zhao Guan's family, not only West Hebei Road will be exchanged, but East Hebei Road and Hedong Road will also need to be checked.

It is a bit rough to report the successful person to the top.

Generally, the normal process is to recommend someone from the officials below, or whoever the governor wants to appoint, and let Zhongshu Sheren draft the imperial edict.

Of course, the prime minister is appointed by the emperor, the middle and upper level officials can be appointed by the prime minister, and the middle and lower level officials are recommended by the lower levels, all the way up the process, and finally the prime minister grants the seal.

Now it’s all right, there is a fourth situation in the personnel appointment process of Hebei West Road. Those who succeed in the report will take office directly, and the follow-up process will be supplemented?

It stands to reason that if you play this way, the chief executives of the Song Dynasty will collectively oppose it.

But the situation on Hebei West Road is now severe, which seems to be beyond everyone's imagination.

So, Zhao Ding took the lead, and after a day and a night of discussion in the Political Affairs Hall, the matter was decided.

Next, the applications for personnel appointments submitted by the prefectures of Hebei West Road, Hebei East Road, and Hedong Road could only be passed in desperation.

Before it was over, Nie Chang was sent back from Huaixi by an edict, ordering him to immediately organize manpower and go to Hebei and Hedong three roads to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

The orders given were also very rough and simple: whoever dared to collect taxes indiscriminately, the leaders of the roads, states, prefectures, and counties would all be escorted to the capital for interrogation.
