I don’t know what other people in the Political Affairs Hall thought, but on the second day of the meeting, the Political Affairs Hall submitted an amendment to the Farmland Water Conservancy Law.
The political hall should unify its opinions and then present it to the king... This is the most correct procedure.
It cannot be implemented now, at least it cannot be implemented under the current Zhengshitang combination.
Zhao Xi also understands Wang Anshi's anxiety... The new law has been announced for so long, and the court has repeatedly delayed it, saying that the court is cautious, but in the eyes of most people, the officials do not support the new law.
Wang Anshi needs a new law to be introduced and implemented in order to stabilize his team and even win over some outsiders to support the new law.
Zhao Xi signed it immediately and stamped it with a big seal... He also wanted to give the court a clear attitude that he intended to innovate.
At the same time, Zhao Xi once again put pen to paper in many years, explaining the farmland water conservancy law in detail using rural slang, and asked Zhao Qin to coordinate the Cao family (Zhao Xi has never left the major shareholder of Cuju Express.), which must be done before
Published in all Cuju Express newspapers across the country... to ensure widest possible coverage.
As for the courtiers' understanding and his explanation...~Sorry, the interpretation of Cuju Express shall prevail.
Of course, this cannot let Cuju Express take the blame. Zhao Xi also requested that the full text of the explanation published in Cuju Express be sent to the imperial court to report to the world...
On the day of Shuowang Dynasty meeting again, Zhao Xi felt that the courtiers should have a memorial, and he was ready.
In fact, he didn't intend to fight or kill, he just prepared to stay in the middle and not make any shots.
Anyway, the political affairs hall has passed, so we should all take responsibility together if something happens. He also wanted to see if the punishment of Ruzhou officials could scare the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Xi was waiting for the courtiers, but he didn't expect...
Zhao Yunbi is over sixty, and he is considered to have the longest life among the entire Zhao family.
As for his physical condition... it's just like that. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Zhao Xi'en to allow him not to attend the court meeting... He was also frightened by some things.
I have been advocating for Da Zongzheng for more than thirty years.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the trembling old man actually came to court.
Although it is an eyesore, you cannot drive it away. People who come to court reasonably and lawfully must continue even if they are an eyesore.
The process goes as normal. When it's time to sing praises and songs, when it's time to announce good news, it's good news. As for court meetings, as long as there are no disputes, it's always been like this: hello, me, everyone.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report..."
Sigh... The old man really didn't want to worry about the Zhao Song Dynasty in his spare time.
"I hope it's not about the implementation of the Farmland Water Conservancy Law." Zhao Xi thought to himself.
"Give me a seat! Prince Dongping, you are old. If you have something to do, just ask your nephew to hand over the gift..."
Zhao Xi doesn't seem to pay much attention to his clan.
In this era, clan is the root of the family. If any of the civil servants and military generals ignored the clan like Zhao Xi did, they would definitely be spit on.
But if it were placed in the royal family, this would be normal. Especially in an era like the State Dynasty, where clan members were specifically restricted from intervening in government affairs, it was not a problem for officials to be clan clan members.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The veteran reported to Zeng Gongchuo, the magistrate of Xianping County..."
Sure enough, people were still being targeted. Who was Zeng Gongchuo? It was Zeng Xiaokuan, the son of Zeng Gongliang, a staunch supporter of the new law.
Zeng Xiaokuan got the job because of his kindness, and he can be regarded as a capable official. He knew Tongcheng County, and the official department had received excellent reviews for several years in a row... As for whether it was because of his father, it's hard to say.
However, it is more likely that Wang Anshi was involved, and it was only then that he took up a post in Xianping County.
Then, the Prince of Dongping County rambled on, making his nose burst into tears.
The matter is also simple. Dongping County Prince, even though the title of the king is Dongping, it is in the boundary of Hebei Province. In fact, the entire private land of Dongping County Prince's Palace is in Gyeonggi Province.
When Taizu first came to the dynasty, he treated clan members and military commanders the same way, which was to reward fertile land and mansions... Of course, you can't endure the hardships of traveling and traveling just to get some land, right? Therefore, most of the land in Gyeonggi Province is concentrated in the hands of nobles and clan members.
inside.
The prince of Dongping County had land in Xianping County, which was not granted in the early years but was acquired later.
As for the methods, clan members still abided by the rules in the Song Dynasty because the civil servants were too afraid.
When the court surveyed farmland, Prince Dongping underreported a lot in order to make the number of his own fields not too conspicuous.
Zeng Xiaokuan was active and urged to report the acres of land in a timely manner compared to other places. He was almost one of the first prefectures and counties in the entire country to report to the court.
It was also because of this that Zhao Yunbi had something to say at this time.
When reporting the land acres, due to confidentiality laws, Zhao Yunbi's family did not find out the official's purpose from the court and were worried about what changes would happen to the annexed land after the new emperor came to the throne.
Therefore, some of the fields were suppressed and not reported.
As a result, it became clear from the court arrival reports and Cuju express reports these days that this was not the case at all.
Zeng Xiaokuan didn't care about this, and all those who had not been reported were put into the national land category.
Now, Prince Dongping and his family are in trouble! They have suffered huge losses!
But the clan had little status in the country and did not dare to go to court.
But then I asked around and found that there seemed to be many things similar to him, including many in the families of scholar-bureaucrats, and they all had complaints.
Zhao Yunbi is not stupid. When he saw that everyone was just complaining below, he knew that things were not that simple.
Originally, he was prepared to suffer the consequences of being dumb. His family didn't rely on that little farmland to make a living, so he couldn't stroke the tiger's beard at this time.
Let alone officials, even Wang Jiefu and Zhao Yunbi were not someone he could offend.
Besides, the new emperor treated his family pretty well. Every time there was any money-making business, Zhao Qin from Neiyuan would inform him...~ He didn't know that Zhao Xi didn't care about it at all, it was arranged by Tao Niang.
Later, I should say three days ago, someone gave him some advice. He said that even if he yelled at the officials, it was reasonable.
In order to show off, Zeng Xiaokuan reported the data of Xianping County one month before the court deadline.
As for Zhao Yunbi's family, they have a big business and farmed a lot of land in Xianping, and they haven't even carefully counted or counted it.
I originally wanted to cooperate with the court and report to the Xianping County Government once after the careful inventory, but I heard that Zeng Xiaokuan had already reported to the court.
Now, Zeng Xiaokuan has to take over his family's land because the Yamen reported it in advance, so he can redress his grievances even in front of His Majesty!
Zhao Yunbi is really not stupid. He also knows that this is a deliberate attempt by the conservative faction to create obstacles for the revolutionary faction.
But after thinking about it again, I can indeed use this as a reason.
The key point is that it is very possible that if you complain to His Majesty in the court, some civil servants may respond to you.
The key is that he really might be able to get some land back.
Zhao Yunbi really didn't care whether the gun was pointed or not. Based on his understanding of the officials, the officials would definitely understand.
Therefore, Zhao Yunbi really cried during the court meeting.
Of course, you can't tell the whole story when you cry.
He just insisted that while he was still checking the acres, Zeng Xiaokuan had already reported it.
Zhao Xi listened to this clan uncle's ramblings and really saw the reason clearly.
Alas...this is the clan. It doesn't matter whether you live or not. It's just that this clan...is abolished!
Knowing clearly that he is the leader of a gun, he is willing to do so!
He didn't believe that this clan uncle was so old and couldn't see through the situation in the court.
