Chapter 192 I have a showdown!
Life is like this. Many times, you don’t wait until you are ready before you do it.
Everything waits for no one. The situation has reached this point and the arrow has to be fired.
Fortunately, the Military and Political Council has gained a firm foothold, and in the case of Zhao Ye some time ago, the north room was completely liquidated, and the military registration room was also transferred to the Military and Political Council.
The recruitment and training of the army are on the right track, and even the training of officers is slowly advancing.
This is Zhao Ning’s confidence!
Regarding the fight last night, it is now making a big fuss.
Even the officials of the Remonstration Yuan began to submit memorials.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a yamen whose words were so important that even the prime ministers were afraid of them. This yamen was the Jian Yuan.
The Song Dynasty was a dynasty in which imperial power was further centralized, which was more complete than the centralization of power in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The main method is to dismantle the yamen and share the affairs with multiple people to divide the power of officials.
For another example, the power of appointing and dismissing personnel of the Admonition Yuan lies in the hands of the emperor, and the Admonition Yuan’s opinions on policies carry a very heavy weight.
They were mainly used by the emperor to check and balance the ministers.
After Li Zhuo's letter came up, Zhao Ning immediately approved one: As an admonishment officer, he will be fined half a year's salary for making casual remarks regardless of the truth of the matter!
After Zha Zi was beaten and returned to the admonishment court, the other admonishers saw Li Zuo hiding in a corner and crying. They asked again, "Good guy, they had already written the impeachment papers for Zha Zi, so they quickly tore them up."
After Jian Yuan was forced back, the other yamen obviously refused to give up.
Especially the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs seemed to have stung a hornet's nest.
Starting from attacking the lives of the officials of the Agricultural Affairs Department and ending with doubting the role of this yamen, all officials of the Agricultural Affairs Department were criticized as worthless.
Finally, we came to the conclusion: Disband this yamen as soon as possible!
In fact, behind this, it not only reflects the anxiety of bureaucrats about equalizing land leases, but also reveals the anxiety about official schools.
Land equalization is handled by the Department of Agricultural Affairs, and the first batch of enrolled members of the official school were officials of the Department of Agricultural Affairs.
Zhao Guan's family also invited the famous scholar Luo Congyan to teach.
What is this for?
Is this to strengthen the Department of Agriculture?
It was agreed that we would only deal with royal estates, so why are you promoting Chen Dong to the rank of chief agricultural officer now?
Did you also play teaching and training?
Is this to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory?
Oh, I understand, the Zhao Guan family is going to change the law!
The fox tail is finally exposed!
Cover it up and deceive us!
No wonder they want to disturb the clan. It turns out that a batch of fields have been set aside to prepare for the reform!
So far, the political trends in the Bianjing court have begun to sound like the New Dealers and the conservatives are gearing up.
Regarding the fight, Zhao Ning did not comment yet.
He wanted to see how many officials had objections to the Agricultural Affairs Bureau.
As a result, within one day, hundreds of letters of impeachment were received.
Boy, in just one day!
This is interesting. I wish everyone had noticed that the Secretary for Agriculture was unhappy and didn’t show it.
Conservatives have noticed that a considerable number of people even suggested in memorials that the Zhao family should sell the royal property to replenish the national treasury, which would make more money than renting it out.
Someone later recalled that the trend in the court changed and the dispute between the New Dealers and the conservatives began to emerge. It did indeed start with the fight between Fan Lou Tai students.
It seems to be just a conflict caused by the competition between imperial students for official positions, but in fact it reflects the conflicts that have accumulated in several important yamen.
It is no exaggeration to say that this incident was the prelude to the rolling New Deal in the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ning thought for a moment, forget it, there is no need to wait for more people to express their opinions, just deal with it directly.
This matter is actually very simple to deal with. Let Qin Hui handle it.
Early the next morning, Liu Wenchang and others were directly convicted of insulting imperial officials, inciting trouble, and attacking the imperial government's new policies.
Processing result: distributed to the frontier!
Note, there is a person's name here, Xi Chong.
This guy was an official from Shaanxi and was a court official. The result was the same: he was sent to the border area.
He was at the border before, and now he went to the border again. This time he went to the border not to be an official, but to work as a coolie.
Perhaps he was the most unlucky official of the year. He had just gotten off the boat in the Bian River and was picked up by Liu Wenchang. When he went to Fanlou, before he could even sit down, he had a fight with someone from the Agricultural Affairs Department.
Originally, he wanted to ask Liu Wenchang to leave, but Liu Wenchang refused to leave.
Maybe he didn't do it, but who can tell now.
Because he was confused, he was dismissed from his official position and sent to the border.
At this time, Liu Wenchang and others were still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He shouted to the officials of the Ministry of Punishment: "My father is a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
Not long after, the results of the processing were sent: "Distributed to the frontier!"
When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded.
They were all Tai students, expelled from their studies, sent to the frontiers, and refused to be admitted for life. From then on, they had to do the most tiring hard work every day.
Before it was over, the man who broke Hu Quan's legs was sentenced to death.
After the results of this processing were spread, it simply exploded.
More letters were sent to Zhao Ning like a violent storm, almost flooding the Wende Hall.
"None of them talked about the matter itself!" Zhao Ning picked up a handful of papers and threw them out, falling on the ground like snowflakes.
The servants were so frightened that they hurriedly picked up the zazi and stepped aside, not daring to take a breath.
Zhao Ning finally saw the attitude-based behavior of Song Dynasty officials.
Let's not talk about the matter itself, but let's talk about the position. The position is to let Zhao Guan's family severely punish the Agricultural Affairs Secretary, dissolve the Yamen, sell all the fields, and let Chen Dong get out of the court.
When the Shenzong Reform was launched, the officials were furious about the new law.
They don't know that the real big move is yet to come.
In the afternoon, Zhao Ding entered the palace, and he was accompanied by Li Guang, the Gyeonggi Road Transport Secretary, Chen Dong, the chief agricultural officer, and Zhang Shuye, the military and political envoy.
The number one loser in the Zhao Guan family, Gao Taiwei, the football king of the Song Dynasty, also came, as did Qin Hui, the Minister of Punishment.
Zhao Ding presented the specific strategies for the new agricultural policy reform in Gyeonggi Road that he discussed with the emperor yesterday.
Now that the imperial court has promulgated a new policy, it is natural to consider all aspects of the problem, and a capable minister like Zhao Ding naturally lists all the problems that may arise next and begins to prepare countermeasures.
Mainly include the following points:
First, if the court increases taxes on land above fifty acres, the landlords will inevitably transfer the tax to the tenants, resulting in a large number of refugees, and the court will ultimately bear the burden.
Zhao Ning also gave corresponding instructions: on the grounds that people's livelihood was declining due to the war, the "Gyeonggi Road Tenant Rent Prohibition Regulations" were promulgated.
This means that rent increases are not allowed, and the methods are very flexible. What is promulgated is not a law, but a rule.
The regulations were temporary regulations in the Song Dynasty and were a means of collecting business tax from regular users.
2. For those with more than 50 acres, five out of ten will be drawn, and the landlords will either hide the land or sell it.
The probability of hiding is greater, so it requires people to inspect the land, a complete administrative team, bold execution, and even violence to maintain stability.
This is easier. A large number of imperial guards are stationed in the capital, and Zhao Ning has urgently summoned Yue Fei back to the capital.
Chapter completed!
