Chapter 194(1/2)
In fact, Zhao Ning still left a lot of room for paralysis in this Gyeonggi Road New Deal.
For example, the wartime state promoted by newspapers in the Sifu area has left the entire Gyeonggi Road still deeply immersed in the haze of war, in order to find public support for its reform actions.
To put it simply, these reform actions are to protect our country.
This is called seizing the mountain of justice, and it is one of the necessary methods for qualified politicians.
As long as they do not cooperate with the New Deal, the people in Gyeonggi Road will feel that they are pursuing their own selfish desires regardless of the survival of the world.
Only in this way can the image of the imperial court's new policies as upright and upright be established in the hearts of the people.
This is how to win the hearts and minds of the people, not just a few simple slogans to win people's hearts and minds instantly.
This is the best strategy in the game of three parties.
Public opinion newspapers took the lead.
After all, if you want to compete with the landlords for resources, you have to control public opinion, otherwise you will be taken over by the gentry.
As for the "Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Policy" submitted by Chen Dong, it first aroused strong reactions in Dongfu, and even fierce quarrels broke out.
Zhongshu, Menxia, and the bosses of the three provinces of Shangshu discussed it behind closed doors.
It is said that the sound of stools being thrown and cups being smashed can be vaguely heard.
After a full two hours, several deputy prime ministers came out, their faces looking like they had been soaked in bitter melon water for three days and three nights.
Cai Mao, the minister Zuocheng, shouted loudly: "Zhao Ding, you are causing harm to the country. You are the next Wang Anshi, no! You are the next Cai Jing! The Song Dynasty will perish in your hands!"
The news was suppressed in Dongfu at first, but after Zhao Ding approved the report, the news spread immediately, causing a big shock.
It was first rumored that the Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Policy was about checking fertile land. It is said that when King Kang Zhao Gou was checking the clan, he implicated his relatives and concealed too much land.
Therefore, the imperial court is now conducting land inspections throughout Gyeonggi Road.
Who owns most of the fields in Gyeonggi Road?
Now that the land owned by the clan and relatives is almost handed over, who owns the remaining 7 million acres of land?
Most of them are officials and wealthy businessmen.
If you want to check the land on Gyeonggi Road, it is equivalent to checking their background.
Is this good enough?
This time it’s a blast!
really?
This must be fake news!
For example, Chen Jieran, the Minister of Civil Affairs, laughed and said: "This must be false news and cannot be true."
Quite a few people also thought this was impossible, but then they thought about it, even the clan and relatives’ fields were checked. Not only were they checked, but they were also collected!
Next, according to the process, the prime minister presided over the Dongfu to draft the new policy, and then sent it to Wende Hall for imperial approval by Zhao Guan's family.
This new policy was hardly discussed. That is to say, the prime minister and deputy prime minister of the East Palace closed the door and had a fight... Oh no, they discussed it politely, and finally Zhao Ding forced it down and passed it.
This resulted in many officials not knowing about it when Zhao Guanjia signed the contract.
After the contents of the New Deal were announced, the court in Tokyo felt like a nuclear bomb had dropped.
The news spread around, and for a time, the officialdom of the capital was in a turmoil.
For this reason, Zhao Ning even selected a group of very skilled imperial guards to serve as Chen Dong's bodyguards.
This was published like this.
The leaves outside the Bontoku-den are motionless. The hot summer in Tokyo is like a huge steamer, steaming and roasting everything inside.
There was no wind, only the chirping of summer cicadas.
The clouds in the distance seemed to be still in the sky.
The depression before the storm is always so eerie and dead-quiet, depressing and suffocating.
At this time, a person entered the palace and was taken to the Wende Hall.
"The guilty minister meets your Majesty."
"You came."
"I wonder why Your Majesty summoned the guilty minister?"
At this time, the person in Wende Hall was none other than the former Prime Minister He Li.
"How was it in jail?"
"The sinner repented of his crime every day and every night."
Zhao Ning put down his pen, put aside the article he had just written, drank a cup of tea, and then slowly said: "How to repent?"
"I should never have trusted that Taoist priest named Guo Jing. I am ashamed of Your Majesty's trust in me."
Zhao Ning picked up the notes on the desk and brought them to He Li personally: "You should take a look at it yourself first."
He Li was a little confused, took it, and started reading one by one.
Every time I read one, my face darkened.
All of them scolded him, and many officials even asked the emperor to kill him as an apology for his sins.
"These include notes from the year before last, some from last year, and some from this year." Zhao Ning said lightly, "How many people have you offended? How many people want you dead?"
"The guilty minister is ashamed of the world."
Zhao Ning was silent for a while, and He Li knelt there without saying a word.
"Actually, you had good intentions, but you did bad things." Zhao Ning suddenly said.
"I am guilty."
"This is the time when the country is employing people. If you are asked to make up for your mistakes, would you be willing?"
He Li suddenly raised his head, a little unbelievable, and said quickly: "I will never give up even if I die!"
"Zhao Ye's servant has been cut off by me. I want you to return to Dongfu and serve as a servant and minister Zuopushe."
Sometimes, happiness comes so suddenly.
More than a year ago, He Li was the assistant minister of Zhongshu and the right servant of Shangshu. He held the position of young prime minister and was a proper prime minister. Suddenly he became a prisoner.
After staying in prison for more than a year, he was inexplicably brought out today, and suddenly he was transformed from a prisoner to a servant, minister Zuopushe, and deputy prime minister!
Zuopushe, the minister's assistant minister and minister, was equivalent to the previous position of counselor in political affairs.
After Shenzong Yuanfeng was restructured, three provinces and six ministries were restored, and the position of counselor and political affairs was cancelled. The position of counselor and political affairs was replaced by Zuopushe, the minister and minister.
"I am ashamed of Your Majesty, but His Majesty ignored the past grudges and re-appointed me. I can't express it in words!" He Li suddenly burst into tears, and he cried so excitedly.
"Okay, okay, just say you won't come back?"
"Back!"
"Okay." Zhao Ning pulled out Chen Dong's New Deal Memorial and showed it to He Li.
After reading it, He Li's expression changed drastically: "This, this, this..."
"This is what I want to do."
"Why, Your Majesty?"
"You are a person who has done underage slaughter, you should know the reason."
"Is Your Majesty really going to do this?"
"The decree has been issued."
He Li's brows furrowed into a frown, and he said, "Does Your Majesty know the consequences of this?"
"I know very well, what consequences are more serious than the Jin soldiers approaching the city!" Zhao Ning's tone suddenly became more serious, "What consequences are more serious than the Jin thieves' cavalry in Hebei and Hedong wantonly ravaging the people of the world!
"
What consequences could he not accept, compared to the battle of Chang'an and the mountains of blood and corpses in the Shangdang battle?
He Li said: "If there is internal strife for a lifetime, there will be external troubles..."
"Therefore, the Gyeonggi Road New Deal cannot be slow, it must be fast! When you return to Dongfu this time, all applications submitted by the Agricultural Affairs Department and the Gyeonggi Road Transfer Department will be approved without any obstruction!"
The power and duty of Zuopushe, the minister and minister, was to review government orders, which was a constraint on the prime minister, who was the minister of Zhongshu and minister Youpushe.
The prime minister has the power to make, draft and promulgate decisions, while deputy prime ministers such as ministers have the power to reject decisions.
This means that many supplementary provisions and additional policies in the implementation of the New Deal must be passed through the minister, whose position is very important.
He Li said: "Yes!"
"Now go and tidy up, go back to the East Mansion, and go to the political hall to do some good work for me."
"yes!"
The city of Tokyo in early June is destined to be uneventful.
