Third, once all the local government households and status households oppose it, the conflicts will become uncontrollable and ultimately cannot be ended, so some strategies are needed.

Zhao Ding gave the strategy: for the landlords, pull one faction to fight against the other.

The so-called pulling one faction to fight another is to first stabilize the prestigious local landlords, give them a head start, and stabilize them. If other landlords resist, they will be wary and the court will have confidence.

How to stabilize?

Give Shiohiki and Chaohiki!

The resistance to reform is nothing more than one word: interests are damaged.

Since his interests have been damaged, make up for him. After making up for his shortcomings, let him set an example honestly.

As for the future, once the fields are handed over, you can either do good business with the court, or if you don't behave, you will be replaced.

The reason why Zhao Ding raised this point is that for more than a year, Zhao Ding has supported many businessmen on Gyeonggi Road to provide food and grass for the front line.

After finishing these three points, Zhao Ning added one more point: "Set Da Song Daily in Sifu, Gyeonggi Road, and set up a branch of the daily to occupy the commanding heights of public opinion."

Zhao Ding was slightly startled and said quickly: "The official reminded me."

Public opinion control involves the behavior of the people, and the behavior of the people is the top priority in this reform attempt.

The Song Dynasty Daily has been open for more than a year and has cultivated a number of writers who can write articles for the emperor. There is no need to worry about the lack of people. They have all been promoted and assigned to the four areas of the capital.

"The daily newspaper first talks about the Jin war, and then talks about food prices, exaggerating the crisis, and letting the people know that the court is in a difficult situation and that they themselves are also facing a huge crisis."

This is called tying the people onto the ship of the imperial court, constantly deepening the "impression that everyone is prosperous."

The people continue to accept this idea, and when the time comes to take action against the landlords, the people will definitely support the imperial court.

With the support of the people, the overall situation cannot be compromised.

"Yes, I will do it now!" Zhao Ding became excited by Zhao Guanjia's additional remarks, "By the way, the person who proposed the restructuring must face tremendous pressure. This person..."

Zhao Ning said: "You are all my ministers. The Jin people are selfless and selfless. The Song Dynasty's centuries-old bad government has reached the point where it has to be reformed!"

Everyone hurriedly said: "I am willing to take the lead for Your Majesty, even if I die."

"Okay, Chen Sinong!"

Chen Dong came out: "I'm here!"

"It's up to you to submit the report on the new agricultural policy in Gyeonggi Road."

"I accept the decree!"

"Li Guang."

"I'm here!"

"All officials of the Gyeonggi Road Transfer Department will fully cooperate with Chen Dong's new agricultural policy. Any officials who do not cooperate will be dismissed!"

"I accept the decree!"

"Gao Qiu."

"I'm here!"

"I'm afraid Jin Renxizuo has infiltrated our country, the Song Dynasty. You should quickly go to the imperial city's Si Banzhi and arrest Jin Renxizuo at Sifu on Gyeonggi Road."

"Yes!" Gao Qiu responded. This was not a detailed operation. This was clearly monitoring the public opinion of the Fourth Assistant and making reports at any time.

"Zhang Shuye."

"I'm here!"

"People's livelihood has been declining recently and bandits are everywhere. You quickly dispatch the imperial guards and station them at the fourth auxiliary area of ​​​​Gyeonggi Road for strict defense."

"I accept your order!"

After everyone retreated, Zhao Ding was left alone in Wende Hall.

"Official, do you have any other orders?"

Zhao Ning walked to the map. He stared at the map of the Song Dynasty and said, "Ms. Zhao, I have been thinking about some issues recently."

"I wonder what worries the officials have?"

"What are we doing this for?"

"Of course it's for the people of the Song Dynasty."

"I'm asking, are there some clear goals?"

"Target?" Zhao Ding was a little surprised.

Zhao Ning thought for a moment and said: "I want to set a big goal. Everything we have to do at any stage is for this big goal. The launch of the New Deal requires a big goal."

Zhao Ding was stunned for a moment by the emperor's words.

Zhao Ning looked at the map of the Kingdom of Jin and then the map of Xixia.

"Your Majesty's goal is naturally to resist gold."

"What if we want to destroy gold?"

"this……"

Zhao Ding was a little hesitant. I am afraid that no one in the court had thought about destroying the gold.

After all, the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom had been in conflict for more than a hundred years but could not destroy the Liao Dynasty, and now the power shown by the Jin Kingdom is really powerful.

"Xiangong Zhao hesitated, so I will set this goal to destroy the gold!"

Zhao Ding was not excited, but felt a lot of pressure. If the goal was set beyond his actual ability, it would be just empty talk.

During the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, not even the sixteen states of Yanyun were recovered.

"Destroying the Jin Dynasty is the big goal. I will make another ten-year plan. The goal of the ten-year plan is to drag the war between Song and Jin Dynasties into a protracted war. How about destroying Xixia first?"

"Your Majesty is wise, if you want to destroy Jin, you must first destroy Xixia."

"We are now allies with Xixia. This matter should not be made public. We should first establish a solid relationship with Xixia and drag the war with the Jin Kingdom into a protracted war. After solving the Song Dynasty's own problems, we can then destroy Xixia."

"As soon as Xixia is destroyed, we will go out from the northwest and unite with the Mongol people in the grassland to form a constraint on the Jin Kingdom from the west. When the time comes, let the Jin Kingdom try a two-front war!"

Zhao Guanjia looked at the map and was a little lost: "It's just that this ten-year plan involves too many things, and today's Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Policy is just one of them."

"First, the new official school established a bureaucratic system with fast uploading and distributing, and strengthened the mobilization system of the Song Dynasty."

"Second, the new university will continuously provide new talents to the New Deal and the front line."

"Thirdly, Gokuyuan recruits geniuses from all over the world to develop gunpowder, agricultural fertilizer and other items that can get twice the result with half the effort. With the current farmland output, there is still room for improvement. The talents I am looking for are already on their way to Beijing."

"Fourth, the restructuring of the Salt and Iron Bureau must also be put on the agenda."

"In its five- to ten-year plan, the most important thing is to fight against the Jin Dynasty and eliminate the summer, and the continuous supply of food is the most important thing. The north is desolate and the logistics are difficult."

Zhao Guanjia glanced at Zhao Ding and said in a deep tone: "So, the New Agricultural Policy may be a bloody storm, and you will be like Wang Jiefu!"

Zhao Ding's whole body trembled, his face turned pale, and his forehead was sweating, but he still said in a firm tone: "I understand that your majesty's kindness to you is a gift that I will never refuse even to my death!"

Wang Anshi's reform failed again and again, and the controversy caused by it has not subsided to this day. Many people even blame Wang Anshi's reform for the decline of the Song Dynasty.

Now that Zhao Guan's family is preparing to publicly start the New Deal, who is under the greatest pressure?

Apart from the emperor, the prime minister is of course under the greatest pressure.

It’s not easy to be the prime minister this time!

Now I am criticizing Chen Dong, and in the near future I will definitely start criticizing Zhao Ding.

On the first day of June in the third year of Jingkang, Tokyo Daily began to allocate manpower to Gongzhou in the east, Zhengzhou in the west, Yingchang in the south, and Chanzhou in the north of Gyeonggi Road.

The Sifu of Gyeonggi Province is an important place to defend the capital, and it is also a top priority.

Also on the same day, the commanders of the Imperial City Division also entered the Sifu area.

On the second day of June, the Military and Political Council issued a troop deployment order, which was finally signed by Zhao Guanjia. On the pretext of quelling the banditry, an additional 10,000 troops were sent to each of the four auxiliaries.

On the same day, the Zhengshitang issued the "Regulations on Benefits for Merchants on Gyeonggi Road", which provided preferential policies for salt and tea imports to big businessmen in various states. The Fourth Fu Merchant Group arrived in the capital overnight and met with the prime minister at the Zhengshitang.

Also on the same day, the Gyeonggi Road Transfer Department Yamen summoned all the officials who had collected agricultural taxes in the past on the grounds that the summer tax was about to be collected, and paid meticulous attention to the salary distribution and welfare policies of the officials.

And the "Gyeonggi Road Officials Regulations" were introduced. Officials can enter the new official school, receive teaching, and pass the exam to be promoted to officials.

This is a test of the reform of the official system.

The Song Dynasty had the problem of weak officials and strong officials. Many specific implementation tasks had to be carried out by officials, but officials were often looked down upon.

This kind of contradiction actually caused great losses to the administrative execution of the imperial court. For example, at the beginning of the Third Song-Jin War, officials on Jingdong East Road went on strike because of salary arrears.

The officials had no sense of belonging to the court and simply took money to do things.

The purpose of this tentative official reform in Gyeonggi Road is to improve the salary of officials, open up the channels for officials to rise, and allow them to be fully integrated into the bureaucracy.
