August 26th.

In the afternoon, the prefect's Yamen of Jiangning Prefecture became lively. People wearing black clothes walked into the prefect's Yamen one after another, and the rapid footsteps broke the tranquility of the autumn day.

All the officials in the prefect's Yamen came out, except the prefect Wang He.

Nie Chang and Qian Gai followed Qin Hui in.

Wang He made a grand ceremony and said: "The lower official has met the two superior officials and the Prime Minister of Qin."

Qin Hui sat in the middle, and Nie Chang and Qian Gai sat on both sides.

Nie Chang got straight to the point and asked: "Is Wang Fu dead?"

Wang He immediately put on a very sad look and sighed: "Wang Shicao has always been busy with official duties and is usually withdrawn. I never thought that he would commit suicide. If he knew about it, he would definitely advise him."

"

Qian Gai said: "We interrogated the magistrates of Lishui County and Jurong County yesterday. They said they received instructions from Wang Fu. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that Wang Fu died."

Wang He's face changed immediately. He had sympathized with Wang Fu just now, but now he immediately cursed: "He was the one who instigated it! He knows people but doesn't know what they know! He committed suicide out of fear of crime!"

"Did he commit suicide out of fear of crime, or was he threatened?" Nie Chang said with a smile.

"It's unknown what the official will be like now," Wang He said.

Qian Gai said: "I checked the accounts of Jiangning Prefecture for this year last night and changed the rice to mulberry. The total subsidy was one million guan, 200,000 guan in Jurong County and 300,000 guan in Lishui County."

Wang He said: "Yes."

Qian Gai asked: "Then why didn't the people get the money?"

"This..." Wang He said, "It seems that everyone below has been corrupted."

"By whom?" Nie Chang asked.

"The magistrate of Lishui County, the magistrate of Jurong County, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, and the magistrate of Jiangning County may all have problems." Wang He replied.

Qian Gai said: "These magistrates and counties have problems, but you, the magistrate, don't know about it?"

"It's all Wang Fu..."

"You want to say that these were all done by Hu Cao and Wang Fu, who joined the army without telling you, and colluded with them in private."

"Yes Yes……"

Qian Gai laughed and said, "Spread one million dollars. Do you want to say that a household named Cao joined the army and changed the rice fields in Jiangdong into mulberry trees?"

"this……"

"Do you want us to return to Beijing and report to His Majesty the Emperor like this?" Qian Gai slapped the table angrily, "There is such a big bad debt in Jiangning Mansion! You just let a Hucao who committed suicide join the army! You are shameless,

The Song Dynasty was too shameless? His Majesty the Emperor was too shameless!"

Wang He was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat. He glanced at Qin Hui with evasive eyes.

Qin Hui said: "It's a matter of national policy, so tell it truthfully."

"Yes... it was an oversight by a lower official..."

On the first day of September, the leaves on both sides of Tokyo City Imperial Street were golden and fluttering in the autumn wind.

On this day, the Dali envoy arrived in Tokyo.

However, the urgent report from Jiangning, which was eight hundred miles away, also arrived in the capital and was placed on the desk of the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall.

Of course, Zhao Ning also placed a copy on his desk, which was Nie Chang's report.

After reading it, Zhao Ning only said one sentence: "Recruit Qin Hui back to Beijing."

This time the Jiangning Mansion case seems to be just an ordinary corruption case under the New Deal, but its impact on the structure of the imperial court in the Song Dynasty was profound.

At that time, Qin Hui purged a group of people in Jiangdong to implement the New Agricultural Policy and rectify the officialdom. Basically, the officials who came up were Qin Hui's.

The past two years can be regarded as the implementation of the New Agricultural Policy.

But this time, starting from Jiangning Mansion, Qin Hui's people in Jiangdong will undoubtedly be involved in the grain robbery case.

There is a very important figure here, Li Guang, the governor of Jiangdong.

Qin Hui was transferred back to the capital, and the people in Jiangdong were purged. Who will be the new officials in Jiangdong in the future?

That’s right, Li Guang’s people!

Jiangdong, a place where rice was being converted into mulberry, was one of the strategic points in Zhaoning’s Taihu business district, the frontline of commercial reform in the Song Dynasty, and one of the centers of future light industry in the Song Dynasty.

It is also an important strategic location to revitalize domestic demand and respond to bank strategies.

Such an important place has undergone comprehensive land reform and is now entering the stage of commercial reform, and the opportunity was handed over to Li Guang.

It is actually self-evident how his career will develop in the future.

A very small number of people even took a breath after seeing Jiang Dong's case again.

For example, the wily Cai Mao said privately: Could it be that the change of rice to mulberry in Jiangdong was a big hole dug by the Ouchi man for Qin Hui, using Qin Hui to pave the way for Li Guang?

No matter what the real situation is, Qin Hui's change of power from rice to mulberry has been declared a failure.

The emergence of corruption is only secondary. The main reason is that one million acres were spent to convert one million acres of land, but in fact less than 300,000 acres were converted, and more than half of the 300,000 acres were occupied.

The local dignitaries paid for it.

Comparing it to Qian Yuqing's side, Qin Hui's political achievements are simply beyond recognition.

In the past, the pie I drew every month attracted praise from countless people, but now those people suddenly lost their collective memory and became collectively mute.

Not only was he mute, but he also became panicked.

Because some people began to worry that Qin Hui would be removed from power and kicked out of the power center of the Song Dynasty because of this incident.

After all, Jianyuan and Yushitai have now taken notice.

Of course, it was Mei Zhili who breathed a sigh of relief: now this matter finally doesn't have to be so embarrassing.

On the second day of September, Li Ruoshui, the Minister of Rites, came to Wende Hall.

"Your Majesty, the envoy from Dali Kingdom wants to see you."

"You should take him around Tokyo for a while first. Don't be in a hurry to meet him."

"I am stupid, please tell me how your Majesty wants to deal with Dali Kingdom?" Li Ruoshui asked.

"I want Dali to be merged into the Song Dynasty and become a path for the Song Dynasty."

"I'm afraid this will be difficult."

Li Ruoshui was slightly startled, thinking to himself, the Zhao Guan family is really one thing on the surface but another in reality.

In the court, he said on the surface that he would not send more troops to Dali, but in fact he had already made up his mind to annex Dali.

"So we have to do it step by step." Zhao Ning said, "On the surface, the other party is here to apologize, but actually he wants me to withdraw our troops from Dali. I can tell you privately that withdrawal is impossible, but you should not tell him directly."

"I understand, but although Dali has good relations with our DPRK, if our DPRK keeps troops stationed in Dali for a long time, I'm afraid Dali will unite and start a new war."

"The relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Dali Kingdom is related to the livelihood of millions of people. The Dali Kingdom sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to have a good talk. After the talks, I will send envoys to the Dali Kingdom to continue talking about the relationship between the two countries.

and conduct in-depth exploration of the well-being of the people.”

Li Ruoshui couldn't help but smile, it seemed that Zhao Guan's family was going to adopt the dragging technique.

"I understand."

Duan Zhengyan used the Song Dynasty to weaken the Gao family, but it was easier to invite gods than to send them away.

The elite troops are stationed not far from Dali Kingdom. How can Zhao Ning withdraw his troops easily?
