Ouyang Bian walked towards the depths of the courtyard.

The drama has begun!

When Ouyang Bian entered the conference hall, he saw the solemn husbands.

Ouyang Xiu and Ouyang Bian waved.

Ouyang Bian quickly went over and stood behind his father.

Wen Yanbo looked up and said, "Do you know what happened?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "I heard that Chenliu County Government has been surrounded?"

Wen Yanbo nodded.

Ouyang Bian asked: "Who are they?"

Wen Yanbo's face was not very good: "It's just some farmers, and the crowd is angry!"

Ouyang Bian nodded and stopped talking.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to know what's going on inside?"

Ouyang Bian laughed: "Although I don't know the details, I can probably guess it.

It was nothing more than instigated by some landlords, and Lu Huiqing and others rushed over to deal with it quickly."

Zeng Gongliang frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. If you are not careful, it will cause civil unrest."

Wen Yanbo nodded: "What do you think, let me tell you, how should I deal with this matter?"

Zeng Gongliang said: "Or, let's wait a little longer. Now the treasury is full and there is no shortage of that little money. It's better to make the overall situation stable."

Ouyang Bian frowned.

Bourgeoisie...oh, no, the weakness of the landlord class.

Before this began, I started to retreat?

Ouyang Bian looked at Zhao Jun.

Zhao Wu said: "How come that happens? You will be killed as soon as someone threatens it. Where is the majesty of the court?..."

Ouyang Bian couldn't help but nod. Old Man Zhao's temperament was still tough enough.

During the reign of Emperor Renzong, Zhao Qi worked from the capital to Hongzhou.

The southwest of Hongzhou is close to Zhangjiang, and there is a worry of flooding rivers.

Zhao Qi built a river embankment of 200 feet long and five feet high to block the impact of the river, and the floods in the Zhang River were relieved.

The subordinate officials Zheng Tao and Rao Shi controlled the county affairs and did illegal things, and the former county magistrate could not control them.

The surrendered soldiers in Hongzhou were all former robbers.

Rao Shi fabricated rumors and said: "The rice paid by soldiers is all old and rotten rice. The soldiers have complaints. If the rice is not replaced, the soldiers will change."

Zhao Jun ignored him.

Some soldiers who fled back from Congrongzhou garrison and illegally marched at night, Zhao Qi killed these soldiers and showed them to the public, and took the opportunity to arrest Tao and Shi to punish them. The entire Hongzhou Prefecture was frightened.

However, the next sentence surprised Ouyang Bian.

“…But what Mr. Zeng said makes sense, the overall situation is the most important thing.

Now that the Song Dynasty is booming, there is enough money and food, there is really no need to turmoil the world for this matter.

I think I should send an imperial envoy to relieve Chenliu's siege first.

Then let’s discuss it carefully, otherwise we should talk about it slowly first. Anyway, it’s not an urgent matter.

As for the central bank's road construction in the north, the three departments have subsidies, anyway, the treasury is now rich.

If people are forced to rebel, then the money will be spent on sending troops to suppress them."

Zhao Xu spoke sincerely.

Wen Yanbo nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

Zeng Gongliang also smiled.

Ouyang Bian felt cold.

What are the so-called famous officials of the Northern Song Dynasty?

Wen Yanbo looked at Ouyang Xiu: "Uncle Yong, what do you think?"

Ouyang Xiu opened his eyes and smiled and said, "I haven't figured out what the specific matter is. Why make a decision so quickly? Wait for a while. It's not too late to make a decision after it is figured out!

As for whether to rebel or not, there are millions of imperial guards in the capital. If they dare to make a big splash, would they think the imperial guards’ swords are not powerful enough?”

Wen Yanbo frowned when he heard this, but he relaxed every day in an instant: "Mr. Zeng, Mr. Zhao, and Uncle Yong are right, why not wait and say it."

Although Wen Yanbo used the consultation sentence, his tone was determined.

Wen Yanbo and Ouyang Xiu are prime ministers. Since they have decided, Zeng Gongliang and Zhao Shi will not say anything more.

When I got off work in the evening, Ouyang Xiu came to see Ouyang Bian and said that he wanted Ouyang Bian to take a trip.

Ouyang Bian knew that his father had something to say to him.

The vehicle is walking in a vast and unicorn.

When Ouyang Xiu saw that Ouyang Bian didn't speak much, he smiled and said, "Don't you understand?"

Ouyang Bian nodded: "When the policy was formulated, they did not object.

Now that I just encountered a little opposition, I’m about to give up?”

Ouyang Xiu laughed: "You, you're still a little more immature when it comes to things."

Ouyang Bian looked at Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu said: "This is not the first time I have cleared the land of Zhangzhang. In fact, the matter of clearing the land of Zhangzhang is politically correct in the court.

There are not many opponents on the surface, but the previous few times I cleared the land of Zhangzhang ended in failure. Do you know why?"

Ouyang Bian lowered his head and thought for a moment: "They agreed because supporting this matter is beneficial to their official voice, but whenever there is a setback, they will quickly stop.

Actually, it is because they don’t actually want to clear the land, because they either have hidden land themselves or their relatives have hidden land?"

Ouyang Xiu smiled lovingly: "Hey, don't you think it very clearly?"

Ouyang Bian took a deep breath: "Can't they see that although the Song Dynasty now seems to be in a deep crisis, it is actually already in a deep crisis?"

Ouyang Xiu shook his head slightly: "I don't know, but I really don't want to do so.

The world is the world of everyone, but the interests are our own.

Now the country is not short of money. In their eyes, it is actually better not to have the little income from clearing the land."

Ouyang Bian shook his head: "The problem is that this is not a problem of whether there is money or not. This is to solve the problem of land annexation. Serious land annexation will affect the stability of the country. Don't they understand this principle?"

Ouyang Xiu smiled and said, "They understand, but you gave them another option.

You have promoted the economy and made all industries in industry and commerce prosperous.

Industry and commerce require a lot of manpower, and land annexation can drive them out of the land, so that they can obtain cheaper manpower.

And these manpower has jobs and food, and they will not think about rebelling.

Therefore, this will not affect national stability.

So, how motivated do you think they are?”

Ouyang Bian fell silent, Ouyang Xiu was right.

This is very similar to the sheep eating exercise in Britain.

Perhaps in the eyes of Zeng Gongliang and others, driving farmers out of the land and converting them into industrial and commercial populations can not only make money for them in industry and commerce, but also obtain land.

This is a win-win situation.

Of course, this win-win situation is that they win twice.

As for the farmers who lost their land, they became industrial and commercial populations, Zeng Gongliang and others would not only not feel pitiful, but even think they were their great benefactors.
