Zhao Ning had just finished reading Wang Zongliu's report on the sales situation of soap. He was enjoying himself and preparing to have a good sleep when he heard this news.

Moreover, it was Gao Qiu who sent the message in the middle of the night.

Gao Qiu was the deputy commander of the Imperial Palace Department and a high-ranking ministerial official. However, he became concerned about the brawl in the capital's tavern and entered the palace in the middle of the night.

This shows that the situation is very serious.

Zhao Ning changed her clothes and listened to Gao Qiu's report as if adding more details.

Many officials and staff in the Department of Agricultural Affairs were directly appointed by outstanding students promoted from the Imperial College, and those who did the work on the other side were also imperial students from the Imperial College.

Is it equivalent to a fight within the Imperial College?

"You just said there was a seriously injured person, what was his name?"

"What's the name Hu Quan?"

Hu Quan?

Damn it!

Zhao Ning was shocked and asked quickly: "How is the injury?"

"The doctor has been called."

"May I ask how the injury is?"

"It should...should have broken the leg!"

Zhao Ning's face darkened.

What the hell, are you deliberately looking for trouble?

That Hu Quan was deliberately left by Zhao Ning to train in the Agricultural Affairs Department, so that he would take on a big responsibility in the future.

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

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

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

"How to insult?"

"What a bunch of despicable mud-legged people!"

"really?"

"Absolutely true."

"This is unreasonable! You are too courageous to insult the imperial official in public!"

Gao Qiu rolled his eyes and said: "In the official family, Liu Wenchang's father is Liu Yuzhi, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"What do you want to say?"

"What I mean is that the work currently being done by the Agricultural Affairs Department was originally handled by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Could this be a long-planned revenge?"

"Do you have evidence?"

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

"Don't make excuses for things that don't exist."

"yes."

Gao Qiu quickly shut up. It seemed that although Zhao Guan's family had a bad temper and liked to kill people, they would not do anything to catch people's suspicions.

"Wang Huaiji."

"I'm here."

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

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

"Go quickly!"

"Yes Yes!"

Gao Qiu's eyes rolled again. It seems that this Hu Quan is not simple. Zhao Guanjia actually used his own imperial doctor.

"By the way, Guan Jia, I heard a somewhat familiar name among those people."

"what name?"

"Xi Chong."

"Who is this person?"

"The son of Xigong, the former Jingyuan Road Manager."

"It's his son."

"Xi Chong studied at Taiyuan College a few years ago. The year before last, he got an official position and went to the northwest to become a free official."

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

"Afraid of coming..."

"What are you doing here?"

"Maybe he's here to make things easier."

Zhao Ning understood, he was here to save his father!

Xigong escaped from the battlefield during the Battle of Chang'an, causing the army to collapse. He has been escorted back to the capital to await interrogation.

"Go check this out."

"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 build a relationship.

Zhao Ning tossed and turned alone in the Hall of Wende.

He originally wanted the Secretary of Agriculture to keep a low profile. The Secretary of Agriculture now seems to be dealing with royal land matters, but in fact it is cultivating talents for the future agrarian revolution.

As long as the 4 million acres of farmland are digested, the entire Department of Agricultural Affairs will inevitably reach a higher level in handling government affairs. By then, the land rectification of Huainan Road and Huainan Road can begin to take drastic measures.

The Agrarian Revolution will kill the lives of landlords and big bureaucrats. If the Agricultural Affairs Secretary attracts many forces in the court at this time, their administrative resistance will inevitably be very strong.

But when things got to this point, the imperial students from the Imperial Academy were fighting each other in Fan Tower.

Since I can’t be low-key anymore, I won’t be low-key anymore!

As expected, the fight between Imperial College students and officials from the Department of Agricultural Affairs was quickly spread by those who were interested.

On the morning of the next day, Zhao Ning received several letters regarding the impeachment matter.

The writing skills of these people are really impressive. If they lived in the 21st century, they could basically be new media writers.

In their writings, what happened last night turned into a royal official beating the imperial students in public, causing many righteous imperial students to be seriously injured.

After a while, Gao Qiu suddenly came.

"Guan Jia, look at this."

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

"Where did this come from?"

"Bought on the street."

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

"yes!"

It seems that the standardization of newspapers is on the agenda. Some people have felt that newspapers are an important tool for public opinion and have begun to privately occupy the high ground of public opinion.

This means allowing it to develop without any control. Wouldn’t it mean chaos?

However, the fight last night is still going on.

As soon as Gao Qiu left, Zhao Ding came.

He also came to talk about the fight between officials from the Department of Agriculture and Taipei students.

Zhao Ding said: "Officials, this matter is not groundless. Why did Liu Wenchang ridicule the officials of the Department of Agriculture in public? I'm afraid it was behind the scenes, or someone instigated it."

Zhao Guanjia said: "Why do you say this?"

Zhao Ding is not someone who just talks. He speaks and analyzes problems with reasonable evidence. Even if he says so, it seems that the problem is really as he guessed.

"Some time ago, the officials promoted Chen Dong to be the Chief Secretary of Agriculture. Some officials below were whispering and criticizing the Secretary of Agriculture. The officials were all wondering why so many officials were recruited since they were dealing with royal land.

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 these 4 million acres of land, but now it seems that I can no longer keep a low profile."

Zhao Ding added: "Official officials, Mr. Huangtian from Hebei Province, estimated a figure. Nearly 10 million acres of land are unclaimed. I sent people to Zhaozhou to conduct an inventory and calculated it, and it is only a lot more."

Tens of millions of acres is already close to one-third of Hebei's land on paper. With the fields so desolate, it seems that the situation in Hebei has become unimaginably severe.

"How many staff are there in the Agricultural Affairs Department at present?"
