Therefore, taking this opportunity, the conservatives can also arrange a large number of their own personnel in the Imperial Historical Observatory. Of course, this time it was mainly Zheng Xia who relieved everyone, and a while ago, because of Cai Dao, the Fu Qing Department lost two important official positions at once, so they took this opportunity to compensate the officials of the Fu Qing Department a little.

These conservative ministers thought that Cai Qu, who was in charge of this incident, would definitely stand up against Zheng Xia's suggestion, but the conservative ministers had already expressed their attitudes, but Cai Qu and his henchmen did not stand up to express their opposition at all, and their actions made their opponents frightened at once.

Not expressing an opinion does not mean that Cai is indeed so cowardly.

In fact, Cai Dao had long expected that the conservative ministers would have such a reaction, and the method of closing the position from the Warring States Period Wei had been implemented since the Warring States Period, so in response to this, he had prepared a plan in his heart to deal with it.

Changping is a granary set up by the ancient Chinese government in various places in order to regulate grain prices and store grain for famine to supply government needs and people's food. It was first proposed by Li Li of the Wei State, and later perfected by Sang Hongyang of the Han Dynasty, which achieved this century-old method, of course, it cannot be said that it will be abandoned. Since these conservative ministers want to hold on to their positions, Cai Dao can choose places selectively.

After compiling information from all quarters, the conservative ministers were assigned to the conservative ministers in the remote areas where the scale of the grain harvest was not too large, where transportation was inconvenient, and in areas where the power of the ministers of the DPRK and China was relatively weak.

The areas where the grain harvest was large, the transportation was convenient, and the areas where the conservative ministers' hometowns were located, were all placed under the jurisdiction of the reformers, and it was just right to put aside the shackles of regular liquidation in these areas and implement a thorough grain collection plan.

At the same time, this year happens to be the year of Dabi, and Huang Shang, the author of the 'Nine Yin True Scripture' written by Jin Da in later generations, is the champion of Yuanfeng's five years.

For such an important event, conservatives and reformers will naturally choose their own side when taking judges. Since Wang Anshi's first resignation, Song Shenzong has made more use of the Fa Reform School. Therefore, when selecting the chief official who supported the imperial examination, Song Shenzong still adopted the method of mixing sand, with conservative ministers as the main officials and officials of the Fa Reform faction as supplements.

Cai Dao suggested that Cai Qu let this year's new science and technology scholars take on this important task.

Sending those Jinshi who turned to the Fa-changers or who tended to be Fa-changers to the hometowns of the twelve Zhishi ministers of the Luoyang Senior Citizens Association to supervise the specific situation of Chang Ping's purchase of grain, on the one hand, could test the personal ability of these new Jinshi, and on the other hand, it could also effectively curb these families from colluding with the government and controlling the local Chang Ping.

Of course, the number of these new scholars was not enough to meet the needs of supervising the closing of the positions in the counties, and it was up to the ministers of the court to recommend more officials to do this. Cai Dao suggested that in Bianliang City, all officials above the level of five officials can each recommend an official, even if it is an official recommended by conservatives, anyway, in the end, where to arrange these people will still have to be decided by the two prime ministers.

Cai Dao suggested that they should not choose officials from the reform faction to participate in it, but also choose more officials who opposed the reform of the law, but who were jealous and hateful and loved the people like children when they were local officials in the past, and these people would definitely not collude with local officials and gentry. Of course, it is inevitable that there will be people who sell their reputations and reputations.

This monitoring is the best litmus test.

The Kaifeng Prefecture and its subordinate counties were led by Cai Qu and Cai Jing, and the Kaifeng Prefecture and Cai Qu's subordinates took out enough copper coins from the government treasury to directly purchase grain from the people. In order to prevent the landlords from hiring their own tenant farmers to fish in mixed waters, Cai Dao suggested that when buying grain from the common people, measures could be taken to limit the quantity.

The specific measure is that only ordinary people with local household registration can sell grain to the government, and even if it is a good harvest for a man, the harvest of grain on one acre of land in the north is at most one and a half stones, and a total of fifteen stones of grain, so each man can only sell five stones of grain to the government. In the Song Dynasty, weights and measures, five buckets were one stone, and five stones were twenty-five buckets, and the government could raise the price to twenty cents per bucket.

In doing so, of course, it is impossible to completely eliminate the participation of landlords, but by doing so, it can involve ordinary people. Moreover, Cai Jing is the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, as long as he completely locks the household registration management of Kaifeng Mansion from this moment on, those landlords who want to raid the household registration will be completely blocked from this road.

Household registration and limited purchases are Cai Dao's effective ways to effectively restrict and curb the collusion of officials and gentry.

Cai Dao wrote a thousand-word letter, using a total of three pages,

On the first page, it is described that after the harvest, the people are not happy at all, and Cai Dao made a proposal to Song Shenzong, asking for permission from the will, he can buy grain from the people along both sides of the canal, and all the expenses can be borne by himself, and he can borrow the name of Zhao Maid, the king of Yan'an County, or the deputy head of the nursery to handle this matter, and the specific situation depends on Song Shenzong's meaning;

On the second page, it is the fact that most of the Luoyang Seniors Association and the conservative ministers are northerners, that is, the page that Song Shenzong did not pass on to everyone to browse;

On the third page, this second method of coping is discussed in detail. Cai did not hand over this page to Song Shenzong, but wrote the content of the paper into his own folding folder, and Song Shenzong also kept this folder.

At this moment, the ministers of the conservative faction and the northern neutral faction had an unprecedented unity of opinion, and Cai Cheng was silent, Cai Jing and Zhang Dun didn't know what Cai Qu had in mind, and they were silent. It seems that the situation is about to go according to the wishes of the conservative ministers.

"Your Majesty, Dean here!" Author's recommendation: Xiuzhen chat group

"Minister, Dean knocks on Your Majesty!"

At this time, a little eunuch led Dean to the top of the main hall, the little eunuch first reported to Song Shenzong, and then Dean honestly performed three bows and nine bows in the direction where Song Shenzong was sitting.

Di Yong, who was in the corner, nodded secretly when he saw the performance of his eldest nephew, and he had to be standard for his own etiquette. The child's father died early, so he disciplined him more harshly when he was a child, and now it seems that his years of hard work have not been in vain.

"Aiqing, flat!" Song Shenzong was overjoyed when he saw Di An, since he suddenly returned to Beijing for this matter, Song Shenzong also forgave the Di family, after all, it was Cai Dao's kid who caused this matter. Di An was just at the right time, if the Song Shenzong hadn't sent Di An to protect Cai Dao, the Di family would not have been implicated at all.

Now there are more important matters to be resolved, so after Dean got up, Song Shenzong did not ask Cai Dao about the situation again, but said to the ministers in the main hall: "Since you Aiqing have no objections, then do so!" The supervising imperial history sent down was first temporarily assumed by the jinshi of this section, and all the jinshi of the first department were sent to various prefectures, and all the jinshi of the second department were sent to the states and counties. The remaining candidates who are not enough are recommended by officials of the fifth grade or above. As for the deployment of personnel, Wang Aiqing and Cai Aiqing are responsible. ”

"Also, I allowed the lieutenant of the Imperial Martial Arts to purchase grain on both sides of the canal in the name of the king of Yan'an. Dean, you stayed behind in the morning, and after the matter was done, you quickly rushed to the canal to assist Cai Dao in handling this matter. ”

The conservative ministers still wanted to fight for it, but Sima Guang was still repairing books at home, and there were no heavyweight ministers in the court at this time, and Song Shenzong gave them the right to recommend officials, but in the end, it could only be Wang Qi and Cai Qu who arranged specific personnel.

With this major event on the top, other officials have no mind to play other things. Therefore, this court meeting ended hastily.

Wang Jue suddenly pretended to be sick, and after repeated diagnosis and treatment by the two imperial doctors, he was sent back to the house. However, the prime minister of the Three Decrees thought that he would be able to get out of this bottomless whirlpool with a slippery head, but he didn't know that after working hard for a long time, he still did not escape the grasp of Song Shenzong.
