In April, May, June, time passed like flowing water.

For the farmers in Hedong and Hebei, this is a rare respite, because the summer grain harvest has been harvested, and the farmers who have been dealt with by natural disasters and military disasters in turn can finally take a breath. Not to mention that King Yan ordered that the grain tax be halved this year!

Millions of farmers in the north only worship Zhao Gou as a Buddha of ten thousand families, but other than that, it really doesn't matter much to them.

But this is limited to the vast number of peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky.

From the bottom to the top of the hierarchy, those small citizens in the city know very well how much trouble has been going on between the Zhao official family in Bianjing City and the Yan prince of Zhending Mansion in the past few months.

Don't say anything else, just say that in terms of public opinion, the officials and gentlemen are not all on the side of Zhao Guan's family. The reason is also very simple, Beidi Third Road, during this period of time, there are hundreds of officials of all sizes who have been cleaned up, and the light fines are punished, and the heavier ones are to lose their posts and go to prison, and the heaviest ones are to lose their brains. The last type accounts for at least half of the total.

Zhao Guan's family can't kill more than a dozen or twenty officials a year, but Zhao Gou is very good, and he killed fifty or sixty in just a few months. It's just the Northland Three Roads. The entire Great Song Dynasty has a full twenty-six roads.

Isn't Zhao Gou regarded as a beast by the officials in the world?

Against such a background, during this period of time, there were thirty or fifty officials who were resigned from their posts.

It can be said that since Li Hui's death, Zhao Gou has forced the officials in the world to Bianliang step by step.

The conflict of fundamental interests between the two sides has created irreconcilable contradictions, and his reputation has become very bad in the mouths of the scholars.

Brutal and harsh, basin after basin of sewage poured on his head. turned a hero who turned the tide not long ago into a murderous and raging devil, and in the mouths of Mr. Morality, he can compete with Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yang of Sui just by talking about the word 'ferocious'.

Because, no one wants to put a shackle around their neck, let alone ruin a good life in the future.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, not to mention that Zhao Gou is pulling up imperial power and suppressing the civil official group, so such a big feud will naturally be shared.

And it is precisely because Zhao Huan felt this change that his confidence gradually hardened, just because he never managed to get the formula of earth-shaking thunder, and the two sides still had restraint in the military.

Zhao Huan had to exercise restraint.

Knowing that Zhao Gou was consolidating his foundation, and knowing that Zhao Gou at this time was the weakest, Zhao Huan, Jurchen, or even the party members in the west did not dare to take the initiative to launch an offensive against him.

The deterrent power of earth-shattering thunder can be seen.

Although the physical object must have been transmitted to the north and south, the news reported by Jinyiwei said that the earth-shaking thunder had been copied in Bianliang City, and they did not have the medicine powder. It's just that the power is too small, and it can't be compared to the Heaven-Shaking Thunder at all.

It looks like a black powder, but the formula is different, the purity of the raw materials is different, and the results are very different.

The Jinyi Guard, who is currently presided over by Han Gongyi, has become famous in a short period of time, and he can't hold the old-timers of the Imperial City Division up.

Didn't the official Shilin keep criticizing Zhao Gou's cruelty and rage, Jinyiwei posted big-character posters all over the ground, from Bianjing City to Luoyang City, from Luoyang City to Jinling, Zhao Gou, who held movable type printing and ink technology in his hands, easily listed the sins of the officials who were dealt with by him.

Looking at the amount of money that these individuals embezzled, the scholars and doctors can still deny it outright, or turn a blind eye, but can the common people have the same opinion?

The Chinese people, from ancient times to the present, have respected and pursued the 'Blue Sky Master', which is obvious to all. Zhao Gou's killing of corrupt officials pushed away morale, but captured the real public opinion.

For example, Li Hui is not worthy of death in the eyes of the high-level people of the Song court. The amount of corruption is too much, but where is the need to kill people, isn't it just to degrade people far away from Jingnan Lingnan?

If they could, they would rather not die for the next official in the world.

Fan Zhongyan said: "Since the ancestors, they have never killed their subordinates lightly, so why do you want to be light-hearted in this virtuous matter?" And I and the public are here, among my colleagues, how many people are of the same mind? Although the intention is unknown, it is not determined. And lightly guide the master to kill his subordinates, he slips his hands every day, although my generation, I don't dare to protect myself! ”

It has been firmly engraved in the hearts of Dr. Zhao Songshi for many years.

Officials and scholars all say that Zhao Gou has a violent temperament, but in fact, Zhao Gou has a reputation among the people and is still a little innocent, and the biggest reason is the people's hatred of corrupt officials.

As long as the people were informed of the crime, Zhao Gou's supporters were already all over the country. This is all the credit of the big-character posters.

The current era is not the 21st century, the streets and alleys are full of cameras, in the era when calls are completely relied on roaring and traffic is completely relied on, only one or two Jinyi Wei members are needed to take over the big-character poster from the above, and the whole city is not at peace.

Although the government is a messenger who can tear it up when he sees it, the news can always be spread. What's more, the common people don't believe that there are still a few good people in the world.

After the corruption of the Huizong era, the credibility of Zhao and Song officials has long been as black as mud.

They say one, but the common people believe two. Just like a certain period of time in later generations, no one believed what the imperial court said, but instead listed the flavor of foreign media reports one by one.

Later, after the information became more and more unimpeded, the foreign media's face was seen through by an individual, and the situation changed somewhat.

But the current time is when the people at the bottom are dissatisfied with the officials above their heads. Even though Song Huizong did evil things like Cai Jing and Zhu Mian, he greatly damaged the vitality of Zhao Song. The great uprisings in the north in the previous two years and the Fangla uprising in the south are still vivid.

Historically, the southward movement of the Jin people gave Zhao and Song the opportunity to transfer internal hatred, and all internal contradictions were turned into smoke under the strong external oppression.

It can only be said that the old Zhao family has overdrawn their credibility too much, and now, the Jin people have receded, and the internal class contradictions have rereplaced the external national contradictions and become the main body of the current society.

This emotion really helped Zhao Gou a lot.

Not to mention that Zhao Gou's achievements in the past few months are also real.

Well, he didn't reduce the taxes of the people by a cent, but under his supervision, no one dared to reach out unscrupulously to reap the benefits, whether it was officials or officials in various states and counties.

This is not to say that he has completely eliminated corruption, but he has slashed on the basis of the earlier corruption of big officials and small officials. The officials who are worried about their brains are really too much more restrained than in previous years.

This is a great benefit to the people of the Northland.

Not to mention the soldiers of Qinwang Bianliang, everyone was exempted from taxes for five years, and Zhao Gou really did it.

In addition, Zhao Gou slashed and killed corrupt officials one after another, and this mass foundation is also there. Together with his efforts to relieve the siege of Bianliang, repeatedly defeat the Jin captives, and recover the northern land, the people will not really be the words of the officials, and regard Zhao Gou as the embodiment of violence.

"It's good to have food." Zhao Gou looked at the fold handed by Liang Yangzu, with a smile on his face, "If you have food, you can move alone." ”
