"This matter needs to be presided over by Sansi."

Ouyang Bian proposed.

Ouyang Bian made this suggestion not because he was unhappy when he looked at Sansi's abacus.

——Of course there is this reason.

But more importantly, Sansi must stand in this change.

Ouyang Bian studied every change in the Song Dynasty court. In almost every change, most of the people initiated were the ministers of the Zhengshi Hall.

Other departments did not really help change, and most of the middle and lower-level officials did not form a consensus.

Therefore, most of the time when changes touch the interests of interest groups, interest groups will immediately resist, and bureaucrats driven by interest groups will become internal opponents of change.

In this way, in order to maintain stability, the emperor would change his course and often fail to do so.

The structure of the imperial court in the Song Dynasty can be regarded as the separation of powers, which is the so-called two prefectures and three ministries.

The two governments are the government affairs halls in charge of government affairs and the Privy Council in charge of military affairs, while the three departments are the governments in charge of financial power.

When it comes to reform, the Privy Council can temporarily put it aside, but as a huge institution in charge of genius taxation and financial power, the Sansi must win it over.

With the support of the three departments, it is basically a combination of two-thirds of the forces in the court.

Zhao Xu hesitated about this suggestion: "I think... measuring land is too taboo. Didn't you say that my current authority is insufficient and shouldn't it be too aggressive? Why don't you slow down first?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Where did the officials think the emperor's authority come from?"

Zhao Xu said: "The king's power is granted to God..."

Ouyang Bian smiled and shook his head: "This statement is just to fool the common people. All officials are scholars, and this principle cannot fool them.

The so-called authority can be interpreted as blessings and power. Power is a force that can benefit and cause harm.

The official ascended the throne, on the one hand, obeyed the monarch's morality, was good at accepting advice, and ruled the world. This proved to all officials that Your Majesty was a monarch who could benefit.

But if you want to become a promising wise ruler, that's not possible."

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Ouyang Bian has always been a matter of facts and never told him these things.

Most of the things mentioned are economy and finance, and the works written are also economy and finance. Even a book called "Bao Xiaosu Talks about Administration of Government" is only aimed at specific governance, rather than involving the essence of power.

But Zhao Xu knew very well the ability of his classmate. From what he did not say, it was obvious that he did not completely understand these things, and he knew them very well.

"...A promising monarch must let his officials know that he can not only benefit the world, but also have the ability to cause harm to all officials.

This ability is not used randomly, but must be reasonable and evidence-based, and must be carried out according to the law. Now it is giving His Majesty such an opportunity.

All officials asked His Majesty to persuade the central bank to invest and develop in the north, but the central bank cannot do this at a loss. The state must provide subsidies to the central bank.

Direct allocation is a way, but the Sansi Department is not very willing to make direct allocation, so let the Sansi Department measure the land and use the hidden land as compensation to the central bank. This matter is considered to be famous.

Then the local officials in the north, the entire Sansi were the initiators of this matter, and Your Majesty was just following the flow.

By presiding over this matter, His Majesty rectified the illegal acts of opposing officials, landlords, and local gentry according to law!

In the process of advancing this matter, Your Majesty can gradually establish your majesty. On the day the entire land measurement project is fully completed, Your Majesty will be fully established!”

Ouyang Bian told the story, and Zhao Xu became more and more excited as he heard it.

"What should I do if all officials oppose it?"

Ouyang Bian said in surprise: "Where are the officials from? They are just borers that are absorbed on the body of the country and suck blood.

The minister of the Zhengshitang supports this matter, and many officials of the Three Divisions support this matter. The Privy Council naturally supports this matter, and the officials of the northern local government are the initiators!

This matter is done according to the law and many supporters support it. Your Majesty just follows the trend.

Those opponents are a small number of illegal elements, not officials.

Your Majesty’s officials are all honest officials who serve the country and the people. Your Majesty must trust your ministers!"

Zhao Xu nodded repeatedly: "What Ji Mo said is that this matter is the general trend, and there is indeed no room for opposition. I am just obeying the will of the people of the world."

Ouyang Bian smiled slightly: "Isn't that true?"

I think local officials in the north may write an article in the Song Dynasty Weekly to describe and clarify the necessity and necessity of measuring the land, and the eagerness of the northern people for a long time on this matter.

This shows that people in the world have been looking forward to this for a long time."

Zhao Xu looked at Ouyang Bian with admiration in his eyes.

Ouyang Bian's eyes met Zhao Xu. As monarch, minister, classmates, and confidants, they couldn't help but smile when they saw the appreciation in each other's eyes.

...

Firecrackers are ringing during the Spring Festival, and time has come to the new year.

The new year will not follow the old year name, because the new emperor ascended the throne, and the world will also have a new atmosphere. The year name of this year is the first year of Xining.

The entry of the new year marks the past of the absurd Emperor Yingzong after the ascension, and the young Zhao Xu entered his ruling era.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, an article in the Song Dynasty Weekly, signed by all the two officials of the seventeen counties under Kaifeng Prefecture shocked the world.

The name of this article is "Please clear the world and the fields."

“…The rich people have land but no food, the poor people are entrusted to illness… The private people are getting richer, the office is getting poorer, the country is getting poorer, the people are having poorer, and the illness is really here;

... Although the Qing Zhang made the family of officials and nobles very unconvenient, it was actually affordable for the common people;

... Therefore, we are county officials in the capital and those who eat the wealth and ointment provided by the people of the Song Dynasty have to plan for the world.

——Please clear the world and the fields!"

The names of the two officials of Wei Shi, Chenliu, Yongqiu, Fengqiu, Zhongmu, Yangwu, Xuzao, Changyuan, Dongming, Xiangyi, Fugou, Yanling, Kaocheng, Taikang, Xianping and other counties are all listed!

As soon as the article was released, the world was shocked.

This article criticized the wealthy people hiding the land, believing that they made the common people poor, the country poor, and the rich people richer day by day.

But this kind of wealth is based on making the country poor. If it is not stopped as soon as possible and the land is investigated, then one day, the Song Dynasty will die because of this.

These officials who serve as support to the people have conscience in their hearts, so they must speak out for the people of the world, so that they can be worthy of the people they offer to them and the court's favors to them.

This accusation spread throughout the Song Dynasty under the transmission of the Song Dynasty, a powerful tool that can help the world.

The entire Song Dynasty became excited because of this!
