Chapter 538 Give Qin Hui a New Mission

"The imperial court is considerate of the difficulties in people's livelihood and respects public opinion. I also listen to opinions from many parties and am willing to negotiate peace with the Jin army and reduce or reduce taxes on the south. What did I do wrong?"

Zhao Ning continued with a stern look on his face.

Qin Hui sighed in his heart: Your Majesty, after you have said all your good words, now you are going to kill people and ransack your homes, so we can only praise you.

What kind of emperor is the most terrifying?

An emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang?

No, no, no, Zhu Yuanzhang killed so many people and was scolded by many people.

Emperors like Liu Heng, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, are the most terrifying.

Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty killed many people. Those who were killed by Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty not only lost their heads, but also had their reputations ruined.

The more Emperor Wen of Han killed people, the more he was praised, and he was praised from the bottom of his heart.

When it comes to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, he is the founder of the Wen-Jing rule. However, when you read the history books carefully, you discover the cruelty of the history books.

This is called the sinister holy king. Not only did he get rid of what he wanted to get rid of, he also won a good reputation for the Han Dynasty and accumulated enough popular support and virtue.

Just think about it, if Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was an emperor like Yang Guang who could toss people, would Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty still have the confidence to put down the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms? Would Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still have the confidence to torment the people of the world?

There is a limit to the endurance of the people of a country. From the perspective of the supreme ruler, we should not only consider how to get rid of the enemy, but also consider the endurance of the people in the world.

This kind of emperor is the top group of emperors.

At this time, Qin Hui deeply felt the Zhao Guan family's methods, which were similar to those of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty abolished torture with his left hand, levied frivolous taxes, and rested with the people, while he carried a knife to kill people with his right hand.

Facing this kind of emperor, you can't resist at all, because the sword and justice have been taken away by him, and you can't even find a reason to resist.

There was dead silence in the hall.

No one spoke.

As we all know, at this time, silence is the safest.

As long as I keep my head down, the teacher won't click on me to answer questions.

The silence continues.

The ministers didn't speak, and Zhao Ning didn't speak either.

The atmosphere was so depressing that one felt as if a stone was weighing on his heart.

The current pattern is actually very clear.

Nanfang Sixth Road has been declared tax-free, and Huaidong and Jiangdong are not on the tax-free list.

This also means that no matter what happens in Huaidong and Jiangdong, there will not be too strong opposition from all walks of life in the south.

And the officials in the court, Tokyo, and Nanjing, many of whom have land in the south, have also taken reassurance, and have a more or less "nothing to do with themselves" mentality towards Huaidong and Jiangdong.

This once again proves that the concept of "civilian group" invented by some historical inventors is basically a false proposition.

It is normal for the bureaucracy to fight against each other, and to fight against each other.

As for some of Koto Arita's bureaucrats, now that Koto has been labeled as a rebel, they basically dare not speak out, otherwise they may be labeled as a rebel.

After a while, Zhao Ning finally spoke: "Prince Kang."

Zhao Gou came out: "I am here."

Everyone glanced at Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou was a veteran in dealing with agricultural affairs, and all the clan's fields were dealt with by him.

He has a very high prestige and is one of the candidates for Kaifeng Prefecture and Crown Prince. After all, it seems reasonable to ask him at this time.

"What do you think about this?"

Zhao Gou said: "I feel that more troops should be sent to the southeast to prevent the situation from developing like that of Fang La, which would cause too much damage to the country."

"Zongze led thousands of troops to Jiangdong to rectify military affairs. As long as he is here, the rebels in Jiangdong will not be able to rise. I am completely confident in him. I am asking you how to make up for the current political turmoil in Jiangdong."

Zhao Gou said: "The turmoil in Jiangdong depends on the people's hearts, and the people's hearts depend on the land tax. Since His Majesty has ordered the implementation of the New Deal in Huaidong and Jiangdong, the only problem now is how to implement the New Deal as soon as possible. As long as the New Deal is implemented, the people's hearts belong to the imperial court.

Jiangdong will naturally return to stability."

"Have you all heard King Kang's insights?"

Everyone said: "I have all heard it."

"What do you think?"

Everyone said again: "Your Majesty is wise, what King Kang said is reasonable."

"Qin Hui."

Qin Hui came out: "I am here."

"You told me before that Lu Yi was a rare talent. Did I remember correctly?"

Qin Hui's expression suddenly changed and he knelt down quickly.

"Don't kneel down yet. Stand up and speak. Don't let the ministers misunderstand that I am bullying you with this matter."

Gao Qiu on the side looked at this scene with schadenfreude and thought to himself: Official, aren't you just using this matter to bully Qin Hui? When you say this, everyone now suspects that Qin Hui and Lu Yi are a group.

Yes, the suspicion of Jiangdong's rebellion was directly pinned on Qin Hui.

At this time, the admonishing officer Li Zhuo immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that Qin Xianggong may have something to do with this matter!"

Qin Hui was shocked. He had never been so frightened since he entered the center of the Song Dynasty.

He quickly said: "I made a mistake, and I was also deceived by Lu Yi!"

But Li Zhuo continued: "Whether he was deceived or not, how can Qin Xianggong be able to clear it up with just one sentence?"

Others couldn't help but be surprised. This Li Zuo was very courageous. He dared to openly criticize Qin Hui in the court. Who was behind him?

Qin Hui said: "I am willing to temporarily resign from the position of power and accept investigation."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Ning said, "I believe in Mr. Qin. The top priority is how to implement the New Deal in Jiangdong as soon as possible. Does Mr. Qin have any good ideas?"

Behind Qin Hui's back, his palms were covered in cold sweat. His mind was spinning rapidly and he said, "I am willing to go to Jiangdong in person to bring order to the chaos."

"Okay! With Qin Xianggong's words, I'm relieved. That's it."

After all, Zongze was an official in the military and political affairs, and it was inappropriate to rashly interfere with the administration in Jiangdong.

The most important thing for Zongze was to rectify local military affairs in the southeast, so as to ensure overall stability.

After retreating from the court, Zhao Guan's family summoned Qin Hui alone in Wende Palace.

"Are any officials from the Jiangdong state government related to Lu Yi?" Zhao Guanjia suddenly asked such a meaningless question.

Qin Hui was stunned for a moment, guessing the meaning behind Zhao Guanjia's words, and he said: "There may be many connections."

Zhao Ning said: "If they are all replaced now, I am afraid it will affect local order. I need you to find out whether they are related to Lu Yi and then deal with it flexibly."

Qin Hui was stunned again.

Zhao Guanjia added: "The top priority is to deal with the land owned by local landlords and gentry, and clearly distinguish the primary and secondary conflicts."

Conflict between primary and secondary?

Although this was the first time he heard such a description, Qin Hui finally understood the inner meaning of Zhao Guanjia.

It is necessary to implement the New Deal in Jiangdong and Huaidong, but the resistance is too great. The core of the resistance comes from the large local landowners and country gentry.

The biggest problem of local officials is that they practice Tai Chi and conceal the truth. They all have a mentality: things have nothing to do with themselves, do less and make fewer mistakes.

This is the biggest obstacle to the rapid implementation of the New Deal.

However, changing a group of people would take time that the court could not afford to wait for.

Now of course there is a better way to solve this problem.

Qin Hui finally understood.

Jiangdong is indeed going to have a big change of blood next time, but for the time being, the people who will be replaced are not the officials, but the local landlords, followed by the officials.

But this kind of thing now needs someone to do it secretly and covertly.
