"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhen Dexiu responded solemnly.
Zhao Yun added: "The Qing family presided over the destruction of Jiaozi, and a major case occurred. The Qing family is also responsible for the lack of supervision. I will be fined three months' salary. I hope the Qing family will be cautious in the future."
Zhen Dexiu was also willing to accept the punishment. He raised his hand and said: "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty. I will definitely remember the lesson and never do it again."
Afterwards, Zhao Yun looked around the officials and said: "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars are the first, and their status is the most noble. However, the higher the status, the more strict one should be on self-discipline and caution, and the more one should always think about serving the imperial court and benefiting all people.
.
In this way, you can be worthy of the status given to you by the people of the world. Instead of relying on your high status to act lawlessly and feel confident, I hope you can understand this meaning."
All the officials raised their hands one after another, and Shan called out: "Yes, Your Majesty, please keep this in mind."
Then, several officials reported to Zhao Yun one by one, and finally announced the dispersal of the court, and all the officials dispersed.
"Mr. Qiao, Mr. Yuan, please stay here. If the official family is summoned, I would like to ask the two prime ministers to come with us."
Qiao Xingjian and Yuan Shao were about to leave Chui Gong Hall, but they were stopped by Gao Shi. They looked at each other and then followed Gao Shi away.
When they came to the study room of Funing Hall, Zhao Yun had a relaxed look on his face, a kind smile, and a peaceful atmosphere, which made Qiao Xingjian and Yuan Shao feel much more at ease.
After the ceremony, Zhao Yun said: "I came to the two ministers to talk about the implementation of the new law in Renhe. Here is Chen Guiyi's excerpt. The two ministers should take a look first."
Yuan Shao took Qiao Xingjian and looked at it carefully.
What is written above is that the new law was implemented smoothly in Renhe. The powerful people all cooperated with the new law and took the initiative to hand over excess farmland. The people even supported the new law.
All landless people were allotted 30 acres of cultivated land to each household. Everyone was grateful to the court and the officials. After the land was distributed, the official land in Renhe County not only did not decrease, but increased by more than 20,000 acres. The situation was excellent.
After reading it, Qiao Xingjian and Yuan Shao didn't have the slightest look of joy on their faces. On the contrary, they looked even more worried.
Zhao Yun raised his eyes and glanced at them. Seeing their appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But Zhao Yun did not care too much. Zhao Yun said: "Now the farmland-to-household law is being implemented smoothly in Renhe. As long as the fields are harvested, the people's warehouses are full of food, and the county government's tax revenue is abundant, it will be proved that the new law is beneficial to the country and the people."
good governance.
At that time, the nationwide implementation will be unstoppable. I summoned the two ministers to ask you to prepare in advance to sort out government affairs at all levels and escort the implementation of the new law."
The two of them looked at each other with reluctance in their faces, but they had no choice but to fail in the court debate before. Now that the new law has been mostly successful in Renhe, they have no reason to oppose it anymore.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The two of them had no choice but to raise their hands in agreement.
Seeing that they were in a low mood, Zhao Yun naturally had nothing to talk about, so he gave them a few words of advice and let them go.
Qiao Xingjian and Yuan Shao walked side by side towards the political hall.
The two of them were silent all the way, both looking serious and gloomy, worried about the fate of the Song Dynasty.
Returning to the political hall, Yuan Shao returned to his room and Qiao Xingjian followed him in.
Qiao Xingjian is a good-natured man. He is easy-going as an official and does not fight with others.
However, Yuan Shao has an upright character and does not tolerate disdain in his eyes. Anyone who does something wrong will be directly reprimanded or even dismissed from office. Therefore, many officials in the Political Affairs Hall fear Yuan Shao even more.
Although Qiao Xingjian had a higher official position than Yuan Shao, he didn't care about it and liked to discuss everything with Yuan Shao.
The two sat for a long time, and finally Qiao Xingjian said to Yuan Shao: "Your Majesty, the new law is unstoppable. Let's cooperate fully. The various envoys, administrative envoys, and pacification envoys are all waiting for news from the Political Affairs Hall.
It is better to issue it as soon as possible so that they can be prepared and avoid causing trouble when the time comes."
Yuan Shao raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Xingjian, and said as if talking to himself: "Will there be no trouble if you prepare in advance? In just Renhe County, Chen Guiyi, Chen Longzhi, and Li Zongmian have to come forward in person.
Then when the time comes to implement it nationwide, who should step forward?"
Qiao Xingjian was silent for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "The officials are strong, what can we, the ministers, do?"
Speaking of this, Qiao Xingjian sighed, "I don't know what the officials think. Isn't it a good life to live peacefully and peacefully as the emperor of peace?"
In the end, Qiao Xingjian and Yuan Shao still sent official documents to various departments in the Song Dynasty, detailing the details of the farmland to household method, and asking various places to set up envoys, manage envoys, and appease the envoys to make preparations for the farmland to household method.
Promote nationwide.
This official document is nothing more than a sign that all officials in the imperial court have reached a consensus on the farmland to household law, at least on the surface.
Fujian Road, Fuzhou, Luoyuan County.
At this time, Cui Cheng, who was released as the magistrate of Luoyuan County, was passing the time in Goulan, the county seat, drinking and escorting prostitutes.
Ever since he was sent here by Zhao Yun because of his opposition to the farmland-to-household law, Cui Cheng had ignored his affairs every day. He only knew how to get drunk in Goulan. He often sighed and hated the court for being unfair to him. Zhao Yun did not pay attention to him and could not find him.
His talent.
At this moment, only the sound of hurried footsteps was heard. Cui Cheng's servant Cui Fu hurriedly found Cui Cheng and said: "My lord, it's not good, there is a letter from Lin'an Mansion, asking your lord to read it as soon as possible."
Cui Cheng looked half-drunk and half-awake, holding the wine glass as if he didn't care, and said: "What's the hurry? I've been sent to this remote mountain, what else can I do?"
After saying that, Cui Cheng drank all the wine in his glass, and finally opened the letter slowly. However, after just a few glances, Cui Cheng woke up from the wine.
His face changed color and became extremely solemn and serious, his breathing became heavier, and even the hand holding the letter was trembling.
It turned out that his family in Lin'an sent him a letter saying that Zhang Chun's house had been ransacked, and that they also exposed officials such as Cui Cheng who had bribed him.
The officials were furious, and Zhu Zhu, the minister of the Ministry of Life and Punishment, took action. Now that many officials have been arrested, Cui Cheng's arresters must be on the way, so Cui Cheng must be careful.
"ah."
Cui Cheng was so frightened that his face turned white. Thinking that his future was about to be ruined and his reputation would be ruined, he couldn't accept the blow, so he tore the letter into pieces and started yelling, which scared the girls around him and ran away.
.
Soon, Cui Cheng ran out of the hook bar like crazy and laughed in the street. His crazy laughter attracted many people to watch.
Finally, Cui Cheng ran to a bridge and stood still on the bridge.
The people watching thought that he was tired from running and wanted to take a rest, but Cui Cheng suddenly shouted loudly: "I, Cui Chenghuai, have not been met. The world does not know me. It is the world's stupidity, not my fault."
After saying that, Cui Cheng jumped directly from the bridge and fell into the water.
