Now that Song Shenzong has passed away, Cai Dao will start to implement the second phase of the plan, one is the Shuo Rat Plan, and the other is the immigration plan.

The Squirrel Project, literally, can see what it means. Because, even those who have not read the Book of Poetry know what kind of thing the rat is.

Cai Dao wanted to let the people of the Seven Color Collar Organization secretly lure those local officials who belonged to the conservative faction or took refuge in the conservative faction, bribed them with a large amount of money or simply pulled them in, and resold the 'old grain' in the state and county treasury together, and used these 'old grains' to make fine wine in exchange for the cultivation cattle of the Liao State, as well as some other important substances, such as ginseng, deer antler velvet, and so on.

Fur, Cai Dao resolutely doesn't want it, he doesn't go to those cold places in the north, and it is a complete waste of food to buy it back.

His subordinates have already succeeded in growing cotton on Yizhou Island on a large scale, and with this, isn't it much warmer and lighter than bulky fur? What's more, Cai Dao has always been in the south, that is, Fang Zhongyong's hometown, Jinxi County, and asked him to take his family to try out the production of down jackets.

This is an important fist product for Cai Dao to revitalize the economy in the future!

However, this time, Cai Dao was not so selfless, and he included all the cattle and other supplies exchanged for fine wine into his own pocket. Even in the last few years of Song Shenzong Yuanfeng, the Central Plains has basically been in a state of good weather, and the grain has also been harvested, but Cai Dao does not intend to leave the conservatives at all.

The grazing land was also chosen, which was Jeju Island in later generations. It was also an important horse breeding ground in Goryeo or North Korea during the feudal dynasty.

However, at this time, Jeju Island was still an independent country that did not belong to Goryeo. Cai Dao ordered his subordinates to take over Jeju Island, as for the original lord of the country, who still remembers a little person like him?

Cai Dao did not touch the grain in the local treasury in the inland area and the treasury in Bianliang City, but when Song Shenzong was still in power, Cai Dao had successfully guided the monarch and asked him to take the initiative to take out part of the grain in the treasury to make wine and exchange it for gelding horses and cattle. Nowadays, there seems to be a lot of grain in the treasury of Bianliang City, but in fact, according to the development status of Bianliang City in recent years, the remaining grain is enough to eat for a year and a half at most.

Cai Dao's past few years in Beijing, it seems that he has caused countless troubles, but it has also given the Great Song Kingdom a few rare opportunities to recuperate, and the Central Plains region has a bumper harvest almost everywhere, and Cai Daojin's farming method has also given the Manchu Dynasty a great illusion. That is, as long as the local method of farming is used, then the local area will definitely have a good harvest.

The illusion is always just an illusion, once it encounters natural and man-made disasters, even if the grain grown in the field has been fertilized, the yield will still be reduced, or even the harvest will be lost. What's more, whether it is the rice field of human beings or the Dongdong of livestock and poultry, they can only meet the needs of a small part of the land. Otherwise, the technology of later generations was so advanced, and it was not necessary to apply a large amount of chemical fertilizer to the ground to grow food.

Cai Dao estimated that the time it took for the remaining grain in the inner treasury and the state treasury of Bianliang City to be consumed was only based on the fact that the grain reserves in other areas were sufficient and there was no catastrophic famine anywhere. Because once such a situation occurs, the imperial court will inevitably allocate a part of the grain from Bianliang City to help the emergency, and the grain transported from the south will make up for the loss.

At that time, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu will deeply feel the deep sense of powerlessness that Song Shenzong had when he succeeded to the throne.

Winter is coming, not just a slogan.

Therefore, Cai Dao instructed the subordinates of the seven-color collar that they only needed to complete the Shuo Rat Plan, and they didn't need to do anything superfluous.

It's up to God to clean up this group of ministers who are high-eyed and low-conservative!

Of course, when Cai Dao asked the Seven Colors to implement this plan, the only targets to choose were in the north, only on both sides of the canal, and in the state capitals and counties close to the coastal areas.

Among them, of course, there will be some pedantic conservative magistrates, and on this point, Cai Dao also specially instructed the people of the seven-color collar to simply get rid of them and directly join forces with other officials and officials in the government to unite to influence the corrupt Confucians who make a fortune together.

Of course, Cai Dao has already considered that it will lead to very serious consequences in local areas.

For example, in the future, if there is a flood disaster in these areas, and the local government is unable to open the warehouse to release grain and provide relief to the people because of the shortage of grain in the official treasury and the regular closing warehouse, it will definitely cause a large number of people to be displaced and eventually die of cold and starvation in the process of eating everywhere. And the only remaining land in the hands of the people will be more and more concentrated in the hands of those high-ranking families.

The solution that Cai Dao thought of was the third plan - the immigration plan.

This is also the fundamental reason why Cai Dao chose the canal area and the coastal area to implement the second plan. Because the Cai family now has almost more than 50% of the sea ship manufacturing in the Great Song Kingdom, it will be very simple to immigrate these people to the islands conquered by Cai Dao's men, as long as the local government does not stop it.

As for the officials in the above two areas, whether they will follow the example and lose the grain in the treasury and the regular liquidation when they find that the officials there have received great benefits and can avoid causing a popular uprising when they are harmed, that is their own business.

Without the convenience of waterways, Cai Dao had no way to move the local people out, as for how many of them were able to escape to the canal or the sea during the famine, it was still the people's own creation.

Although Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu in Bianliang City took a risk, they did follow their wishes, not only completely controlling the frontier of Taixue, the civil official camp, but also dealing a heavy blow to the prestige of the Fa-changing faction, especially the prestige of Cai Qu and Zhang Dun, the two still reigning prime ministers. As for Wang Jue, who is already dead, and Su Shi, who is already dead, they don't care at all.

The prime minister, who is already dead, has no threat at all, and besides, Wang Jue's previous actions have also made his prestige in Shilin itself not high. And Su Shi's big trouble is now out of Bianliang City, and he will not have to listen to him in the future.

Now, the entire Bianliang City is busy with Yuanfeng's eight-year-old Enke, to recruit the first batch of Jinshi after they took power. Of course, this is the first subject after they came to power, so it is particularly important, and they want to choose more students from the conservative camp.

It's not impossible to operate in the dark, but now in such an atmosphere in Bianliang City, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu really don't dare to do it, in case the mastermind behind the big turmoil for three consecutive days before, when the imperial examination is held, give them such a hand again. They could only submit their resignations to the Empress Dowager and leave Beijing gloomily.

Then, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu must find a candidate who is not only virtuous, but also has a reputation and prestige, can suppress all students, and can understand their minds.

After some deliberation between the two of them, this person, in fact, Fan Chunren, the prime minister of cloth, is the most suitable.

After Fan Chunren entered Beijing again, he also advised Sima Guang to think twice about his actions and not to go his own way. However, Sima Guang did not listen to any objections at all.

But in comparison, today's Fan Chunren is still very disgusted with the Fa Chang faction. And now the imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty has not only tested literary talents, but also tested the students' strategies. When it comes to policy theory, those students of the Fa-Changing School will definitely sing the praises of the Fa-Changing School. In this way, how can he get into Fan Chunren's eyes?

Therefore, as long as he is chosen, the two of them don't have to tell each other anything at all, and Fan Chunren will definitely choose conservative students according to his intentions.

Just when the imperial examination was in full swing in Bianliang City, Di Yong, who had been dragged in Hebei by the Baojia Rebellion, suddenly took a turn for the better.
