The fact that Zhao Guan's family had the three highest-ranking officials cut off in one go on Hebei West Road was also reported back to the capital during this period.

The capital itself is lively enough.

Many officials threatened the court by resigning and opposed the New Deal in Huaixi.

The two sides are at each other's throats, and the political hall can quarrel every day.

A lot of things can be said about the implementation of various government orders.

Officials don't do the work, or they deliberately make excuses to pile up the work and fail to execute it.

The progress of every link was stuck, and the big and small yamen were in a temper.

Shifting the blame to each other.

In short, there is only one word: smoky atmosphere.

If Zhao Ding had not suppressed the overall situation, I am afraid that everyone would have been lying flat long ago.

Many people tried to enter the palace to meet the saint over and over again, but were rejected.

Now that the incident on Hebei West Road has come back, the already noisy capital first fell into a collective silence and then exploded.

Zhao Guan's family went to Hebei West Road?

Zhao Guan's family went to Hebei West Road!

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

After hearing the news, everyone had the illusion that a butcher went to the pig pen and chopped up a few pigs.

Even Zhao Ding was shocked!

He received an order from Zhao Guan's family. Not only was Hebei West Road to be replaced, but Hebei East Road and Hedong Road were also to be inspected.

The person who succeeds in reporting will be promoted to the top. This method is really a bit rough.

Generally, the normal process is for the officials below to recommend someone, or who the government wants to appoint, and let the Zhongshushe people draft the edict.

Of course, ministers are appointed by the emperor, middle- and upper-level officials can be appointed by the prime minister, and middle- and lower-level officials are recommended by the subordinates. The process goes all the way up and is finally awarded by the prime minister.

Now it's better, there is a fourth situation in the personnel appointment process of Hebei West Road. Those who succeed in reporting will be directly appointed, and the process will be supplemented later?

It stands to reason that the governors of the Song Dynasty would collectively oppose this kind of play.

But now the situation on Hebei West Road is so serious that it seems to be beyond everyone's imagination.

Therefore, Zhao Ding took the lead and after discussing it for a day and night in the political hall, the matter was decided.

Next, the personnel appointment applications submitted by the Hebei West Road, Hebei East Road, and Hedong Road state governments had no choice but to be approved.

Before it was over, Nie Chang was sent back from Huaixi with an order, ordering him to immediately organize manpower and rush to Hebei and Hedong to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

The order given was also very crude and simple: Anyone who dared to collect taxes arbitrarily would be escorted to the capital for questioning by the top leaders of the road, state, government and county.

He also gave Qin Hui a secret order that all officials escorted to the capital from Hebei and Hedong would be executed.

The level of shock caused by this incident has completely overshadowed the Huaixi New Deal.

On June 13, Zong Wang of Yanjing was fishing by the lake.

Liu Yanzong came over in a hurry: "Your Highness, something big has happened."

"Why are you so panicked?"

"According to the news from the front line, Zhao Guan's family is on Hebei West Road at this moment. They have cut off the transfer envoys on Hebei West Road, the criminal and prison envoys, and the promotion and Changping envoys."

Zong Wang was shocked: "All chopped down?"

"They were all chopped off."

"Why?"

"Then Zhao Guan's family in Hebei and Hedong issued a tax-free decree for ten years."

"I know this, what happens next?"

"Many officials in Hebei still collected taxes. When Zhao Guan's family found out, they killed three high-ranking officials in a rage."

Zong Wang was even more shocked.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty...he was really not afraid of offending those literati!

"Moreover, a government decree was issued in which the whistle-blowers were successfully removed from office. Now, the governments of Hebei and Hedong are probably conducting strict investigations to report those who collect taxes randomly."

Liu Yanzong said in a very shocked tone.

Zong Wang was stunned again, and then laughed.

"Why are you smiling, Your Highness?"

"Isn't it said that the Song Dynasty is the orthodox of China? Then why is the Zhao Guan family's way more wild than ours?"

"If this continues, Hebei and Hedong may really be reorganized by the Zhao Guan family with thunderous means. If so, it will be detrimental to us." Liu Yanzong looked solemn, "We predicted before that the Zhao Guan family's restructuring would inevitably fail. Now it seems that he is really

There are some tricks!"

"No, no, no, Liu Pushe, you are worrying too much." Zong Wang disagreed, "Just relying on killings is not enough to rectify the government. If the whistleblower is in a higher position, has the whistleblower ever committed corruption or withheld taxes? If the whistleblower is in a higher position,

Can the superior person have the talent to govern?"

While he was talking, a fish had already taken the bait. Zong Wang raised the fishing rod and saw a very plump fish.

Liu Yanzong praised from the side: "Your Highness, this fish voluntarily took your bait!"

While Zong Wang patiently collected the fish, he said: "There are a large number of people in Hebei and Hedong fleeing south. The people who fled will compete with the people in the south, which will cause many conflicts. Moreover, in Hebei and Hedong, thieves are rampant.

This way we can handle it by replacing a group of officials."

"Besides, the promulgated new policy has caused people to panic. Now in Hebei and Hedong, killings like this..." Zong Wang hesitated for a moment, seemed to be thinking, and finally said, "It's not advisable, it's not advisable..."

At this time, the people below came to inform: "Your Highness, Xilin Helu wants to see you."

"Oh, hurry up."

Xilin Helu hurriedly came over: "See Your Highness."

"how?"

"This is your Majesty's order." Xilin Helu first took out the things that Wanyan Wu had begged to buy for Zong Wang.

"Your Majesty promised not to collect the annual coins of the Song Dynasty, but he also will not plan the land of Zhending Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhongshan Prefecture and Hejian Prefecture."

Zong Wang opened Wanyan Wu's begging order. After reading it, he thought for a while and then said: "You will follow His Majesty's request and go to the Song Dynasty again. If the Song Dynasty agrees to negotiate for peace, then negotiate for peace. If not, then

We’ll discuss it later when we come back.”

"yes!"

Xilinhelu left in a hurry.

Liu Yanzong said: "Your Highness, there is an internal chaos in the Song Dynasty. Why don't you take the opportunity to send troops?"

"There is no chaos. Zongze's tribe is well-trained, Li Gang's tribe is working step by step, and Zhang Jun's tribe is not in chaos." Zong Wang seemed to be deep in thought, "The Zhao official's behavior is unpredictable. If he handles it like this, there will definitely be chaos within the Song Dynasty.

A bigger conflict."

"It seems that Zong Qian is right. He wants to spread rumors within the Song Dynasty, saying that we are afraid of the Zhao Guan family's new policy, so that the Zhao Guan family will implement the new policy even more unscrupulously and completely divide the Song Dynasty!"

"By the way, how are the sales of sheep, horses, and green and white salt going?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, one thousand two hundred sheep have been sold, three hundred horses have been sold, and two hundred thousand jins of green and white salt have been sold."

"Nearly 80,000 copper coins have been collected so far. The official sent people to inspect them. Basically, they are genuine copper coins from the Song Dynasty."

"Where did they sell all that stuff?"

"Some of them may have gone south to Tokyo, and more were directly bought by wealthy people in Hebei and Hedong."

Zong Wang then nodded with satisfaction, and targeting Hebei and Hedong to harvest was his real goal.

After those rich and powerful people spend their money on expensive products, they will find ways to make more money.

Of course, it is to make money from the people, which will further deepen the internal losses in Hebei and Hedong.

The Jin Kingdom itself received a sufficient supply of copper coins, and imported green and white salt from Xixia on a large scale at a low price, and sold it widely to Hebei and Hedong, and began to accelerate the absorption of copper coins.

Zong Wang thought for a moment and said, "Can we speed up further?"

"That's okay. For now, there are many officials in Hebei who secretly want to defect to us. The harder Zhao Guan's family kills, the more they want to defect to us."

"Xilin Helu will probably be able to negotiate a peace when he goes to the Song Dynasty this time. This will be more beneficial to our border trade and absorbing copper coins. We need to speed up. While Zhao Guan's family is killing people in Hebei, let Xi Zuoduo win over Hebei officials and help us.

Absorb copper coins."
