Zhao Ning said seriously: "Those in higher positions should still be considerate of lower officials."

Everyone, look at me and I look at you.

Officials! Now is not the time to talk about compassion! How can the court still function if everyone has resigned?

Wouldn't that bring chaos to the world?

Even He Li couldn't stay any longer. He said, "Officials, even if you say this, if you approve these resignations, it may affect the government affairs of the court."

Zhao Ning did not answer their words directly.

The core issue today is not whether to approve or not.

Zhao Ning said: "Who is in charge of the Audit Yuan now?"

A few months ago, there was a tax investigation in Huaixi, and people were killed. Didn't they set up an audit institute in the political hall?

Several months have passed, and there should be a certain number of officials in the Audit Court.

Give it a try, is there anything wrong?

Zhao Ding replied: "If I go back to my official home, now the auditor is Lu Zai, the former deputy transfer envoy of West Jing Road. This person served as the envoy of Changping in Huaixi, the transfer judge of East Huainan Road, and later the deputy transfer envoy of West Jing Road."

The envoy, the deputy envoy for planning and transportation of Huainan Road, has rich experience in wealth."

Lu Zai?

Zhao Ning felt that this name was somewhat familiar.

Lu You’s father?

When the Audit Court was mentioned, everyone seemed to immediately realize what the Zhao family wanted to do.

Zhao Ning said: "I think it is necessary to put things like out-of-office audits on the schedule. Why don't we start from this time and follow the routine regulations of the Audit Institute to audit officials' finances? This is also to avoid some corrupt officials."

The evil official was worried about the Dongchuang incident and deliberately took the opportunity to escape."

Before everyone had time to speak, Zhao Ning said again: "Of course I trust every official, but to govern a country, we need regulations, laws, and disciplines. What do you think?"

Everyone was shocked, but this was indeed the truth and there was no way to refute it.

Liigou Mochou immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, and I also feel that the out-of-office audit is very necessary. This is related to the integrity of the government. Only corrupt officials will object."

Mo Chou silenced the others with just one sentence. What else could the others say?

Everyone said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

"Then Mr. Zhao will arrange this matter?"

Zhao Ding said: "I accept the decree."

The resignation itself played into Zhao Ning's hands.

The officials are exaggerated, the staff is too busy, and the staff is bloated. I have long thought about rectifying it.

Now that the Kingdom of Jin has finally come to an end, if we don't take advantage of this opportunity, how long will we wait?

But he said that the matter of resignation is not the end of the audit.

There are many people to offend among them.

Most of the officials came here because of favors and have nepotism. Taking advantage of this opportunity to eliminate redundancies will definitely hurt the interests of many people and attract a lot of saliva.

Zhao Ding is also a person who understands the general situation and weighs the overall situation. He is steady and experienced in doing things. Let him handle the matter, and in the end he can settle the matter in one fell swoop, completing the task while minimizing negative effects.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

After talking about the storm of resignation, he fell into a brief silence.

He Li said: "The official family, the Jin envoy has been in the capital for a while, and this time he said that he must meet the official family no matter what."

"Oh, what did the golden envoy say?"

"The Jin envoy said that they came with sincerity in negotiating peace."

"Sincerity?" Zhao Ning smiled disdainfully, "What is the attitude of everyone in the court towards the arrival of the golden envoy?"

Xu Han said: "Most people in the court are opposed to negotiating peace, but I have also inquired privately. In fact, many people hope to negotiate peace."

"What do you think of this matter?"

Everyone turned their attention to Zhao Ding, obviously hoping that he would stand up and speak.

Now that the current situation has reached this point, it is actually most appropriate to negotiate peace.

Negotiating peace does not mean surrender; negotiating peace is a temporary gain of time.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Ding in history belonged to the peacemaking faction, and he had a very good relationship with Yue Fei, the leader of the hard-line war faction.

And the peace-making faction like Zhao Ding is completely different from the capitulation faction like Qin Hui and Zhao Gou.

This kind of true peacemaker believes in stopping the war first, quickly reorganizing the internal situation, developing its own strength, and then starting a war after it becomes stronger.

Zhao Ding paused for a moment and said: "The officials and ministers agree to negotiate peace."

As soon as Zhao Ding said these words, the atmosphere at the scene almost froze, and no one dared to say anything.

Everyone knows that the Zhao Guan family is the decisive militant faction.

Anyone who dares to talk about peace will be killed.

And Zhao Ding was the prime minister promoted by the Zhao family in an unusual time of crisis.

There has been enough internal chaos in the past few years. Anyone who takes the position will probably feel inadequate and may not even dare to take on this responsibility.

But Zhao Ding took it upon himself.

He personally went to the Huaihe River and Huaihe River many times to collect food, rectified officials in various ways, fully supported the New Deal, and eased the complaints of all parties.

Which of these things can be done easily?

The current situation is still very chaotic, so some people feel that Zhao Ding's coming to power was ineffective.

But they don't know that without Zhao Ding, the situation may be unimaginable, and Zhao Ning may not have time to do anything else.

Zhao Ding added: "My wording is a bit loose and cannot be considered a peace negotiation. I agree with the temporary truce."

"Okay, just follow what Mr. Zhao said."

As soon as Zhao Guanjia said these words, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Zhao Ning continued to add: "I went to Qingyuan Mansion this time, and the scouts found a large number of Jin Army grain adjustment teams in Zhending Mansion."

Found a large number of Jin Army grain adjustment teams?

Zhao Ning definitely didn't notice it.

But his words immediately made everyone's nerves tense again.

He Li said: "Could it be that the Jin people want to negotiate peace with us on the surface, but secretly they are deploying troops and generals?"

Everyone's expressions became serious now. Jin Guo had used this method many times before.

The frightened Da Song Dynasty, every time he saw Jin Guo's proposal for peace, he would immediately kneel down and lick it, and then be pushed to the ground and rubbed.

Zhao Ning's tone suddenly became tougher and his eyes changed. He said forcefully: "I can agree to a truce, but we have to be clear that their proposed peace is just to temporarily make us relax our vigilance. The ambitions of golden men and wolf men! Any time.

You want to destroy our Song Dynasty!"

Everyone's expressions perked up and they said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"How is the New Deal in Huaixi?"

Xu Han said: "The latest news is that the price of land in Huaixi has dropped to the same as that in Gyeonggi Province at that time, and even dropped to 300 yuan in some places."

"Where are Huaixi's taxes this year?"

"I just submitted the report. Huaixi alone has collected 10 million dan in taxes this year."

Zhao Ning said: "Based on the nearly 50 million acres of land in Huaixi, and the new tax policy, it should be more than this number."

Everyone couldn't help but lament that Zhao Guan's family was too sensitive to numbers, and it was basically impossible to fool him with numbers.

There are nearly 50 million acres of farmland in Huaixi, and up to 90% of it has been annexed.

Taking a step back, 40 million acres of it will be collected according to the new policy. Even if only one stone is harvested from each mu, there are still 40 million stones.

Zhao Ding said: "The land of Huaixi is vast, and the New Deal has just been implemented. There will always be people who conceal the truth. Investigations are already underway in various places. I feel that if 40 million stones are really collected, the livelihood of the people in Huaixi will not be far away."

"This time Huaixi is focusing on rectifying the annexation of fertile land. After the New Deal is implemented, there will be chaos in various places. We should allocate part of the tax and grain. The Huaixi Chief Envoy should promote the Changping Secretary to sell the tax and grain at a low price in the market to stabilize people's livelihood."
