In the west of Kaifeng Fucheng, at the end of a small alley called Micang Lane near Wanshengmen Street, there is a row of "Shikumen" courtyards built by thousands of real estate, and the gate of one of the "Shikumen" buildings facing the street is hung with the signboards of "Retro Society" and "Retro Daily".

That's right, this is the base camp of the Retro Society pioneered by the Retro Six Gentlemen. At the same time, it is also the compilation department of the retro daily newspaper of the Retro Society.

It's really a bit surprising that this society, which Zhao Ji, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, hated extremely much, actually survived to the end of the fifth year of Zhenghe, and it seems that he is about to mix with Zhenghe for six years.

The Retro Society not only survived, but also received donations from several patriotic gentry and businessmen of the Great Song Dynasty. So he was able to rent the property, start his own newspaper, and promote his ideas with great fanfare.

In addition to propagating the propositions of "changing the law in the division and Zhou, suppressing mergers, and strengthening the army in Juntian". This retro society has also become a powerful helper for He Li to implement the Qingtian land inspection in Kaifeng Mansion.

He Li's current dispatch is to manage the rice fields, and he is a sesame mung bean official under Taifu Temple. Placed in the Kaifeng Mansion where high-ranking officials are everywhere and there are as many nobles as dogs, it is really not inconspicuous at all. Not to mention that those officials who have a large number of hidden fields don't take him seriously, even the public officials under the rice fields, as well as another official sent by the palace, will not take He Li too seriously.

But in the hands of He Li, he is in control of the Retro Society, which is actually an organization of political parties. Among the retro society, there are also Chen Dong and Zhang Jun, two leaders of Taixue with strong activity ability.

They can not only mobilize public opinion and exert pressure on the nobles who oppose the Qingtian land inspection, but also directly mobilize arithmetic and painting talents from the Qingcheng Academy to help He Li to inventory the fields.

The skills of those officials who have mastered the field investigation are not worth mentioning at all in front of the Qingcheng scholars who are good at calculation and drawing.

So a lot of hidden fields were quickly found!

Of course, the nobles here in Kaifeng Mansion are not vegetarians. They quickly came up with countermeasures. Through reports and revelations in the newspapers, the rice field affairs were directed to Empress Zheng's relatives.

This Empress Zheng is a favored queen! Isn't checking the queen's mother's field the same as checking the queen's field? Isn't the queen's field the field of the Son of Heaven?

If He Li can't find out, then other relatives and nobles won't be afraid. It's a big deal to send all the hidden fields that have been found to the queen's maiden family or other royal relatives.

If He Li wants to investigate hard, hehe, today's official family is famous for protecting shortcomings!

Last time, He Li impeached Wu Haowen and offended the official family, and now he provokes Empress Zheng again, just wait to go to Yushitai to drink chicken soup.

But the development of things was unexpected, just when He Li himself felt pricked, amazing news came from the north - the 2,000 soldiers and horses of Storm Zhou defeated the 100,000 troops of the Jin State at Yuanyangluo!

Storm Zhou is so powerful that it already has the strength to sweep the world!

Chen Dong, who actually presided over the affairs of the Retro Society, immediately seized the opportunity to publish articles in newspapers such as Retro Japan, Shilin Xinbao, and Qingliu Bao that advocated or sympathized with the retro, advocating the strong military strength of the Zhou State, and attributing the strength of the Zhou State to "suppressing annexation" and "strengthening the army of Juntian".

Public opinion in the capital suddenly changed greatly. The voice advocating retro reform sounded all of a sudden, and the Imperial City Division even heard Juntian's voice in the camp of the Zhaoyi former army stationed at Wanshengmen.

The foundation of the Zhaoyi Army is the landlord's regimental training, although it has also followed the example of the Zhou Republican Army to build a knight's manor and a government soldier manor, but the foundation is there, and it is conceivable what it can do. The interests of the landlord class could not be touched, and the Zhaoyi Army did not have the expansion ability of the Zhou Army, so it could not grab other people's land. There is only a limited amount of "borderland" to make a fuss, so most of the soldiers of the Zhaoyi Army still have no land.

The soldiers of the Zhaoyi Army, who had no land, were of course very envious of the knights' manors and the Fubing Grange of the Zhou State - the territory of the Zhaoyi Army was next to the Zhou State, so they naturally knew what the situation of the Zhou State was.

That's really a warrior's paradise...... Therefore, the soldiers of the Zhaoyi Army stationed at Wanshengmen knew the views of the Retro Society, and they all expressed their support.

Because of Juntian's voice in the former army of Zhaoyi, Zhao Ji's hereditary timidity attacked, and he didn't dare to frame Retro Zhongliang for the time being. The impeachment transcript of the Imperial Observatory was also suppressed by him.

Due to the role model effect of Wu Haogu and Zhang Li, the two chaotic ministers and thieves, now the waist of the martial artists of the Great Song Dynasty is much harder! It's a big deal, vote with your feet...... If the warriors are gone, can a few nerdy doctors keep the world of the Great Song Dynasty?

Zhao Ji's concerns, where do the heads of the retro society know? Although they found the root cause of the weakening of the Great Song Dynasty's armed forces, they did not know that it was precisely because of the weakening of the Great Song Dynasty's armed forces that they were given the opportunity for these literati doctors to ascend to the Hall of the Son of Heaven.

If the Great Song Dynasty is really "retro to the Zhou Dynasty", where is there still the status of a scholar from the imperial examination?

Without the imperial examination doctors, can the Great Song Dynasty be stable?

From a certain point of view, the retro party who advocates the retro of Shi Zhou and Kang Liang, who publishes articles in newspapers all day long, and the dragon does not see the end of the dragon, are actually all the way......

In the inner hall of the Retro Society, Chen Dong, who is now a little hot, once again skipped the class of Taixue today, and is preparing an article to refute Kang Liang - although Kang Liang is "fighting alone", but somehow, the influence is no worse than that of the Retro Society! Among the merchants and ministers of Kaifeng Province, there were quite a few supporters.

And this Kang Liang's proposition is a bit of a-for-tat with the retro society, which is a clear opposition to the suppression of the merger and Juntian. Kang Liang believed that the Zhou State was engaged in Juntian on the basis of expansion, and that Juntian had to be the land of other countries, not his own land.

Moreover, the land annexed by the Zhou State did not have the problem of private land in the first place. Whether it is Liao or Goryeo, land is basically state-owned (government-owned), and private land is very rare.

It is land owned by the enemy's state, so it can naturally be disposed of. And the knights and soldiers assigned to the government became professional fields, and of course it was forbidden to buy and sell and divide them.

Most of the land in the Great Song Dynasty is private land, even if there is a loss of contract and tax evasion, the private land cannot be confiscated because of this - the loss of the contract should be reissued, the tax evasion should be paid, and the confiscation of private land is to rob the property of the people of the Great Song Dynasty!

As for the further implementation of land restrictions, it is a more blatant robbery, which will definitely cause chaos in the world and push the Great Song Dynasty into the abyss of no return.

On the basis of opposing the equalization of land and the restriction of land, Kang Liang also put forward the idea of "conscription with land", believing that those who own land not only have the responsibility to pay taxes, but also have the duty to defend the land and protect the country - the wealth in the world is dominated by land, and the more land you own, the more you will benefit from the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and of course the more obligations you have to defend the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the large landowners are also obliged to provide troops for the imperial court...... It was not that the landlords themselves were asked to serve as soldiers, but that they were asked to provide village soldiers according to the amount of land they owned. If a certain number of village soldiers are provided, the landlord's family can appoint officers.

Of course, the imperial court cannot ask the big landlords to contribute in vain, and should give a certain amount of compensation. Either they are given official positions, or they are exempted from taxes.

At the same time, the seemingly fair but useless imperial examination system should be abolished. And replace them with schools for cultivating talents, military merits, and meritorious deeds.

In this way, you can encourage everyone to make meritorious contributions to the army or learn useful knowledge......

Just when Chen Dong quoted scriptures and classics, he worked hard to write, and was ready to refute Kang Liang with a heroic essay. The door of the inner hall was suddenly pushed open, and it was He Li who walked in.

"Wen Jin, are you here?" Chen Dong put down the brush and looked up at He Li, who was frowning slightly, "What?" What happened? ”

"Shaoyang, Jin Guo has declared himself a vassal to us!"

"What?" Chen Dong was stunned, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"I met Geng Xidao when I was Chatian in the south of the city today."

Geng Xidao's name is Nanzhong, a native of Kaifeng, a Jinshi of Yuanfeng for five years, and he began to use Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, as the right concubine of the prince, and tried the prince Zhan Shi - the actual work of this position is to teach the prince Zhao Huan to read.

By the way, after Zhao Ji returned to Kaifeng Mansion, he finally gave the throne of the crown prince to Zhao Huan. Now Zhao Huan is already the official prince of the Great Song Empire!

But if you can take the throne, you have to continue to work hard!

After all, Zhao Ji was in his prime, and his health was surprisingly good. So as the prince's teacher, Geng Nanzhong is not a hot official.

Because the prince supports the retro party, Geng Nanzhong is also a little close to He Li.

"You can't go wrong...... But how could such a thing be? Chen Dong still found it hard to believe.

"Let's make a gold week!" He Li said, "The imperial court is also preparing to cede the grassland on the north bank of the Hetao to the Jin State. ”

"Isn't that the territory of the Liang Kingdom?"

"Hehe, how can the Liang Kingdom be worth as much as the Jin Kingdom?"

"But if the Liang Kingdom falls to the Zhou Kingdom, wouldn't it be ......?"

He Li shook his head: "Not for the time being, the imperial court has a way to appease." However, striking iron must be hard by itself, and Lianjin alone cannot control Zhou. ”

He paused, "Today in the Chongzheng Palace, Taishi Cai also mentioned changing the law and improving himself. ”

Chen Dong asked: "Cai Jing supports retro? ”

"No," He Li said, "he said that our retro is nonsense." ”

"Then he's ...... Support Kangliang? ”

"Mostly!" He Li snorted, "Kang Liang's proposition is for the sake of the wealthy and powerful everywhere, where is the change of law to try to be strong, it is clearly for the benefit of the wealthy, and he wants to cut off the way of promotion from the poor family." ”

Chen Dong slapped the table, "The country has reached such a point that they are still blindly favoritism...... By the way, what did the officials say? ”

"The official family didn't say anything, they just wanted to marry Wu Haogu."

Chen Dong shook his head: "The official family is too, it's all like this, do you still expect Wu Haogu to remember the old feelings?" ”

He looked at He Li, "Wen Jin, do we want to go up again and oppose harmony?" ”

"No, ......no," He Li shook his head and said, "Geng Xidao means," he paused, "Let's advocate kissing in the newspaper!" ”
