Regarding Yan Shu's high-minded remarks, except for a few courtiers such as Fu Bi, the deputy privy envoy, Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion, and a few courtiers such as Ouyang Xiu, who served as the right Zhengyan and the Zhizhi Emperor, thought that this was very good, and the other courtiers in the class had a lot of complaints about it.

No, Jia Changchao, who had not been in charge of political affairs for a long time, stood up with a wat board in his hand not long after Yan Shu spoke, and he unabashedly expressed his opposition, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Yan Xiang said is biased and cannot be left unattended, let alone adopted.

"It is an indisputable fact that the phenomenon of encroachment on streets and roads in Tokyo is indeed widespread. However, it is not the homes of officials stationed in Beijing who are really encroaching on the streets, but the prosperous streets and alleys of Tokyo.

"It is precisely because of the open-mindedness of the government that the curfew was lifted many years ago, and the restrictions on opening shops and stalls were lifted, and the regulations of the old Tang Dynasty were no longer followed, so that Tokyo, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was able to flourish.

As Yan Xiangfang said, there are more than one million people living in Tokyo today, and the phenomenon of encroachment on streets and roads is naturally very common. Previously, it has been practiced for many years to erect 'table trees' on both sides of the streets and alleys, punish those who encroach on the streets and occupy the roads, and restore them to their original appearance within a time limit.

The minister also believed that this regulation should be strictly enforced in the streets and alleys where business is booming, and there is no need for people to be so harsh on the homes of officials stationed in Beijing, and the two cannot be treated equally.

"The residents in Hanlin Lane are all the residences of officials stationed in Beijing, since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty by Taizu, but the high school scholars, or the officials who were transferred to the capital, most of them have been arranged to live here, and they have been in practice for many years.

"Due to the small size of the place, with the passage of time, the family members of many officials have gradually increased, and the original houses are not enough to use, so there will be a situation of building partial houses in the backyard, which is really a helpless move. What's more, merchants are not allowed to do business in Hanlin Lane, and the road in the lane is only for people to walk, and it is not a big problem whether it is narrow or wide.

Therefore, in the humble opinion of the minister, His Majesty should issue an edict to Kaifeng Mansion and urgently stop the reckless act of the Street Division to demolish the illegal buildings in Hanlin Lane. Otherwise, the families of the hundreds of officials stationed in Beijing who live in Hanlin Lane will have a hard time living in their homes, and won't this make the world laugh?

"Especially for the world's readers, it has made a very bad example. If the world's scholars learn that they will enter Beijing to take the exam in the future, even if they are high school scholars and become officials stationed in Beijing, they will not be able to let their wives and children find a place to live in Tokyo, I will be in the Tang Tang Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, which is very ridiculous! ”

When Jia Changchao refuted what Yan Shu said, Wang Gongchen, who was the initiator of this matter, Chen Zhizhong, the right counselor, Liu Yuanyu, and others came out one after another, echoing Jia Changchao's words in unison, and implored Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen to issue an edict to stop it.

Seeing this scene, Bao Zheng, who was the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, stood uneasy, he felt that since he was involved in the governor Jia Changchao and mentioned his name, if he continued to act as a turtle with a shrunken head at this time, he would not only be laughed at by the courtiers, but even he himself felt ashamed.

didn't have time to think about it, Bao Zheng, who was wearing a vermilion official robe, walked out of the line with both hands, and bowed to Song Renzong Zhao Zhen who was sitting in the hall, and then, raised his head and chest, and retorted confidently: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Jia Shen said is not worth refuting.

"In all dynasties, even people who have not read should know a common sense that applies everywhere, that is, 'the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people'. Even Your Majesty, if you make a big mistake, you still have to make an edict, not to mention those officials stationed in Beijing who live in Hanlin Lane?

"The minister received the grace of His Majesty and was promoted to the post of Kaifeng Governor, who has reigned for more than three years, and knows well that the management of the affairs of Tokyo is complicated. Taking the occupation of streets as an example, this matter is relatively common in the city of Tokyo, whether it is ordinary people and businessmen, or official eunuchs, the situation of encroachment on streets and roads is becoming more and more serious.

"Many merchants and ordinary people invaded the streets and occupied the roads, mostly to sell goods to attract customers, and the more things they sold, the more taxes they paid, and the silver money in the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty naturally rose with the tide.

On the contrary, for example, in Hanlin Lane, where the encroachment on the streets and roads is more serious, most of the officials living in Beijing encroached on the lanes for their own personal gains, and they received the money issued by the imperial court and did not pay a penny in taxes.

"If, as Vice Minister Jia said, the illegal buildings that encroach on the streets and roads are for the families of officials to live in, they do not have to encroach on public land, and they can add two or even three floors to the original houses.

"Therefore, the minister does not agree with what Jia Xiangshen said, if the illegal buildings in Hanlin Lane are not demolished first, the illegal buildings in other places in Tokyo will be more difficult to get rid of in the future, and I hope Your Majesty will be aware of it."

After Bao Zheng refuted Jia Changchao sharply, Fu Bi, the deputy envoy of the secret, and Ouyang Xiu, who served as the right official and the commander of the system, the two of them held the wat with both hands, and then went out of the ranks, and in front of a group of courtiers and Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, they praised Yan Shu and Bao Zheng respectively.

Zhao Zhen, who was a little restless in the hall, after listening to the speeches of the courtiers and the two completely different factions, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "What the ministers just said, I listened carefully to them one by one, although the two factions have different opinions, but they both have a certain amount of truth. However, it was my decree that within a month of the deadline, I ordered the Kaifeng Prefecture to supervise the Street Division and demolish all the illegal buildings in the streets and alleys of Tokyo.

"I never thought that it was less than three days' work, and there was a stone lion encroaching on the street in front of Xia Zhizai's mansion, and now there was an illegal building in Hanlin Lane. I believe that the officials stationed in Beijing, especially the secretaries who participated in the court meeting, should exercise strict self-discipline.

"The Song Penal System is applicable to any of my Great Song people, including Zhu Qing, and even even me. Regarding the demolition of illegal buildings in Hanlin Lane, everything is done in accordance with the laws of our Great Song Dynasty, and no one can be an exception. If one of the secretaries violates it, it should be severely punished. ”

Song Renzong Zhao Zhen finished the decision, today's early dynasty will end here, the sky outside the Zichen Hall has been brightened, and there are still two moments of effort to reach the time of the hour, a group of courtiers retreated, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen was unhappy, he suddenly felt that even if the eldest lady had passed away for many years, now he had already been in power, but in terms of pushing the administrative order, he still felt many obstacles.

At this point, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen's heart came up with an idea of wanting to change, when he closed his eyes, the voices and appearances of Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Yan Shu and others appeared in his mind, and he secretly felt that if the new law was implemented to carry out reform, these ministers of the DPRK and China could be reused.

At this time, in the dormitory in the backyard of the Yamen of the Street Division, Wang Hao was yawning and rubbing his sleepy eyes and just woke up, he didn't know that just before he woke up, because of his forced demolition of illegal buildings in Hanlin Lane before the deadline of today, the ministers who participated in the court meeting quarreled over this matter and had red faces and red ears and bad words, which also gave Song Renzong Zhao Zhen a headache.
