Wen Tiren's feeling to Li Shichao is profound, different from Luo's cultivation, he knows how to forbear, and has always had a firm political goal, this kind of person is the most terrible in the officialdom, now that I think about it, no wonder the emperor will let himself assist Wen Tiren.

After the Jin guests entered the post station, Wen Tiren got up to greet him and saluted each other.

After the three of them sat down, Jin Ke said: "Lord Wen, Lord Li, this official will hold a banquet to entertain the two adults today, and I hope that the two adults can get together with each other." ”

Wen Tiren smiled and said, "It's hard to resist. ”

Li Shichao nodded, and did not refuse, but asked: "This Nanjing City is the accompanying capital, and it plays an exemplary role in the south of the Yangtze River, why has the new policy not been pushed forward for a long time, Lord Jin can know that the progress of this Gyeonggi land is much faster than Nanjing." ”

After listening to Li Shichao's words, Jin Ke stood up with a chuckle and walked to the window: "This Nanjing City Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, there are countless bigger than the Weichen officials, this cabinet confidential department wants us Nanjing prefect Yamen to promote, have you considered the difficulties of our waiting, now Lord Wen and Lord Li have come to our Nanjing, to be honest, this official is really relieved." ”

"Who is the biggest obstacle to the implementation of the New Deal?" Wen Tiren in one word.

"The various state capitals of Nanzhili, the strength of the squires is all over the sky, and there are many connections with the officials in Nanjing, such as Lord Yang Shifeng, the head of the household department, he is the second son of the Yang family, the squire of Hangzhou Prefecture, and Zhang Guolu, the secretary of the ministry, that is even more incredible, he is a second-class member, and Li Guopu, the first assistant of the cabinet, is a family of children, and the Zhang family has also been operating in Nanjing City for decades, and it is deep-rooted.

"Nanjing, as a companion capital, should play an exemplary role, and the prefect's yamen should also actively promote it, instead of retreating in the face of difficulties, only finding excuses, pushing the mistakes onto the yamen in Nanjing, and throwing the new policy into Beijing." Li Shichao said softly.

"Hahaha. Lord Li really doesn't know, it's not that the official is unwilling to implement the new policy, it's because the people are also unwilling, re-counting the household registration, this is the first step, the prefect yamen sent people to the prefecture and county to count the number of people, but the people below do not believe that the re-measurement of population and land is for better distribution, they still think that one more person will pay one more person's tax, so they are reluctant to report the number of people according to the requirements of the government. You said that the squire disagreed, and the common people didn't want to, so what kind of new deal should we promote, Lord Wangwen, Lord Li, tell the emperor the details of Nanjing City, and let the emperor give him more time. "Jin Ke is an old Jianghu, and he pushed the responsibility of the prefect's yamen away in one or two sentences.

Li Shichao was very angry after listening to Jin Ke's words, stood up and just wanted to speak, Wen Tiren waved his hand to stop Li Shichao, and said in a somewhat calm tone: "How long does the prefect want, a year, two years, or ten years." ”

"Two years is enough."

"Hmph, for two years, the prefect really didn't take the court to heart."

"The official doesn't dare, if Lord Wen thinks that the official is incompetent, he can go to the emperor and take the official's black gauze hat." Seeing that Wen Tiren was a little angry, Jin Ke didn't have the slightest idea of being afraid.

Of course, Wen Tiren knew that this trip would not be a friendly situation, but he didn't want to make a stalemate in the Nanjing prefect when he first arrived in Nanjing, so he chuckled: "Lord Jin is too worried, this official will not play the impeachment of the adult, this official and Lord Li came to watch the implementation of the new policy, as for what Lord Jin said that the people do not know the situation, is there a solution?" If you still don't believe it, then the government can also go deep into the people and enlighten more. ”

This conversation was a little unhappy, but it was all expected by Wen Tiren, just because of the entire Jiangnan, the official gentry's family is the most serious, that Jin Ke listed so many examples, and involved Li Ge Lao, but he never said his life experience, as everyone knows, before coming to Nanjing, Jin Yiwei investigated clearly, this Jin Ke is this Nanjing person, 10,000 acres of fertile land at home, and his son Jin Shangyou is a playboy on the Qinhuai River, and it is a well-known thing in Nanjing. The implementation of the New Deal was the first to harm his own interests.

Even if he knew it in his heart, Wen Tiren was unwilling to say it thoroughly, killing the chicken to show the monkey, if this Jin Ke was stubborn, then he would be the chicken that was slaughtered.

In the evening, Wen Tiren went to the banquet, but Li Shichao refused because he was unwell.

After Li Shichao changed into civilian clothes, he took five Jinyi guards who also changed into civilian clothes and went out of the city.

There is a market town more than ten miles outside the city, and this is where Li Shichao went.

Today's dialogue with Jin Ke is not afraid, this itself is abnormal, Wen Tiren Li Shichao clearly came to supervise, but who in the government and the opposition is not clear, this is to ask the guilt, Li Shichao also has doubts in his heart, what is the reason why Jin Ke is so arrogant.

When they arrived at the bazaar, the six men dismounted and led the horses forward.

The people above the market town looked at the six people who came, and they didn't make a fuss, just because this ten miles away is the city of Nanjing, and there are countless outsiders who come to Nanjing to play, and they can go to Nanjing almost every day.

At the official list of the bazaar, Li Shichao stopped for a long time, and what was pasted on it was nothing more than the portraits of some wanted criminals, and none of the words of the new deal could be seen.

The new policy of the imperial court should be posted on the official list, why is it missing, I wonder in my heart, could it be that the yamen of the prefect of Nanjing City, there is not even an official list posted, and the people know as well.

Thinking of this, Li Shichao asked the five brocade guards to wait for him outside the market, and after walking around the market two times alone, he saw three old men drinking tea in a small teahouse, hurriedly walked in, walked straight to the three old men, arched his hand and said: "Fathers, Xiaosheng came from Henan, and when he arrived at our Nanjing boundary, there are some strange places, I don't know if your fathers may solve Xiaosheng's doubts." ”

"The little brother is from Henan." An old man asked.

"Yes, Xiaosheng is from Henan, and he came to Nanjing to watch the style of the ancient capital, but along the way, he found a lot of strange places."

"Little brother, please sit down, and tell us old men what is strange."

Li Shichao was not polite, sat down directly, and said: "Fathers, Xiaosheng is a person from Henan, in the first year of Chongzhen, the imperial court issued a new policy, and after arriving in Henan, we began to reproduce the statistics of the population, measure the land, and apportion the commercial tax. ”
