At the beginning, when Jing Guogong implemented this new law and began to collect it in the countryside, the errand money of those fourth-class and fifth-class households at the bottom was exempted.

But what about later?

Facts have proved that no matter how good the new law is, when it arrives at the local level, it will immediately be transformed by those soap subordinates and corrupt officials, turning the good law into a bad law that harms the poor people. The collusion between the soap subordinates in the countryside and the local tyrants made the money for these errand soldiers finally passed on to the people at the bottom.

The reason why Jing Guogong adjusted the decree of the exemption law several times was because in the process of implementation, he also found that the new law enacted before was inadequate.

Therefore, Poor Dao is standing here, not to hinder His Majesty from restoring the new law. Rather, to dissuade His Majesty from proceeding with caution. If you want to reinstate the new law, you don't need to recover so slowly.

However, the place where the new law will be implemented must be chosen right under your nose, that is, in the Gyeonggi area. ”

As soon as Cai Dao's voice fell, Zhang Dian asked puzzledly: "Cai Dao, you said before that you couldn't be in a hurry, and now you said that all the new laws can be implemented at the same time. Isn't that a paradox? What's more, why do you suggest that Your Majesty place the place where the new law will be implemented is in the Gyeonggi region. The official also admitted that the new laws implemented by the prince and the prince of Cai before were indeed unsatisfactory, and there were still many defects and drawbacks. So, if something goes wrong in the process of implementing the new law, wouldn't it be more likely to cause a commotion among the people in the Gyeonggi area? ”

"Master Zhang, do you have no confidence in yourself, or do you not have confidence in Your Majesty and Han Xiang? The implementation of the new law in the Gyeonggi area is due to the proximity of these places to Bianliang Fortress.

There are three benefits to this:

First, near.

In the Gyeonggi area, you can learn about the arrangement of the new law before the implementation of the new law, the supervision during the implementation of the new law, and the observation of the effect after the implementation of the new law.

Second, fast.

If any local official goes against the law, colludes with a local tycoon in private, or arbitrarily changes the content of the new law, you and the ministers will only know about it immediately in one day, and you will be able to react quickly within a day.

Third, talents.

This is the most important part of it, and it is also the point that Jing Guogong has neglected the most in the past.

Because of people, things are done, because of people.

Talent, in the process of implementing the new law, is actually a hundred times more important than the new law itself.

In the process of implementing the new law, Your Majesty, you have completely selected thousands of talented and energetic young officials who support the reform of the law, let them take up official positions other than the prefectural ordinances, and let them participate in the process of implementing the new law, so that they can not only accumulate experience in governance, but also give them a deep understanding of the new law. In addition, some veteran and high-ranking officials will be selected to serve as governors of various counties in the Gyeonggi region.

The only thing they have to do is to keep an eye on these young people and report to the prime minister about the implementation of the new law at any time. As for supervising the situation of each subordinate county, it can be handed over to the Imperial City Division and the Imperial Historians to have a three-tier supervision. You can completely eliminate the drawbacks or cause any relatively large riots.

If you do so, Your Majesty, these young officials, although they are not in official positions now, most of them may become your pillars in the near future! ”

"Sizzle......!" After Cai Dao finished speaking, everyone in the court couldn't help but gasp, and said in their hearts, the future is terrifying!

Everyone was secretly careful, and they all agreed with Cai Dao's method in their hearts.

"Well, that's a good point. Daochang Cai, this idea of yours is really good. Zhao Xu's reaction was obviously half a beat slower, but after listening to Cai Dao's words, he thought about another question, and it was difficult to make up his mind for a while, so he said it a little late.

"Your Majesty, there is one more suggestion regarding the exemption law.

The road is simple, and nothing can escape this truth.

The civil officials of our Great Song Dynasty have always clamored for agriculture-oriented, but in addition to the relatively low land taxes on the surface, all kinds of taxes have emerged in an endless stream, and there are even some presiding officials of prefectures and counties and their subordinates who have privately collected taxes that have never been collected in our Great Song Dynasty. The people have to be taxed when they get married, and if they have a child in the people's family, they have to be taxed, and even worse, if a pig in the people's family gives birth to a cub, they still have to be taxed.

Let's talk more about the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, but the Ding tax levied by my Great Song Dynasty is dozens of times more than that of the Han Dynasty. The burden on the people who have been working hard for your majesty is too heavy. The two tax laws implemented in the Tang Dynasty made the situation even worse. Twice a year, the soaps at the bottom of the country have to go to the homes of the people to collect taxes, they represent the government, but they have been secretly exploiting your people.

Your Majesty, do you really know all this?

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Hebei officials said that the Baojia were gathering people to rebel, but in fact, the real situation was that those Baojia gathered and looted the grain stored in the homes of the surrounding landlords. There is no intention of rebelling at all. But why did they do it? It's not that Zheng Xia, in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, he went to Zhulu in Hebei for disaster relief, but he allowed the officials of Zhulu Prefecture and County in Hebei to swallow most of the disaster relief food allocated by the emperor. He was high-spirited and did not take advantage of it.

However, this kind of fame and reputation seeker is more harmful than those corrupt officials.

Because, the greater his fame, even Your Majesty has to be reused for him, and the greater his official position, when he takes on important tasks or responsibilities, it is very likely that the old state will sprout. Besides, things gather people in groups, and most of the subordinates collected by Zheng Xia are naturally not much better.

Also, Your Majesty, since Emperor Zhenzong introduced Champa rice, most of the land in Huainan and Jiangnan can basically harvest two crops of grain a year. But what you don't know is that Quang Nam West Road and Quang Nam East Road are not the places of smoke and miasma that people imagine. If the local officials are competent, the grain output there will be much more than that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and more than in Jinghu and Lianghu. In some areas, arable land can even harvest three crops of grain in a year. As long as Qiongzhou Island is arable land, it can basically harvest three seasons of grain. ”

"That's true!" Suddenly hearing such a terrifying thing, Zhao Xu is a clever person, he can produce three seasons of grain a year, so will there be a shortage of food in the Great Song Dynasty?

"Naturally, it's true." Cai Dao said firmly.

"Your Majesty, if Daochang Cai is true in what he said, the imperial court can use sea ships to transport the grain from Lingnan to Bianliang City!" Yang Wei had studied the history of Cai Dao's development, so he naturally understood the potential strength of the other party better than others. He knew that now the Cai family in Longyou County had basically mastered the construction of more than ninety percent of the ships of the Great Song Dynasty Shipping.

It is no exaggeration to say that eighty percent of the sea ships sailing in the waters of the Great Song Dynasty are made by the Cai family, and the proportion of new ships is more than ninety percent and five, and less than half of the remaining sea ships are still fishing tugboats built by the shipyard of Quanzhou City Bosi using the technology of the Cai family. In this way, it is no longer a fantasy to transport grain from distant Lingnan to Bianliang City, all the way through sea and water.

Moreover, this transportation route has another incomparable advantage over the Grand Canal, that is, the consumption on the road. It is said that shipping is dangerous, but the annual transshipment along the Grand Canal makes the reported losses even exceed the number of losses of shipping vessels.

Not only Yang Wei knows a little about this, but Zhang Dian and Cai Jing know it well.

Other people naturally understood the meaning of Cai Dao's last sentence in their hearts.

Zhao Xu hadn't told anyone else about the earth-shattering three strategies that Cai Dao had offered him.

A few days ago, Cai Dao had personally promised that he would personally come forward to settle those noble generals and royal families. The biggest troubles left are not at all for the ministers here. Because most of the officials in the reformers are basically southerners, while the conservative officials are basically northerners, and these northern officials are all long-standing families.

Such a practice of harming others and benefiting oneself, I believe that Zhang Dan, Yang Wei, Zeng Bu, Cai Jing, and Cai Bian are all very willing to deal with it in this way. What's more, these people whose interests have been lost this time are all political enemies who hate each other to the core.

Lingnan and Qiongzhou Island, where grain income is received three seasons a year, this pillar is impacting the hearts of all the ministers in the hall one by one.

But no one doubted whether Cai Dao's three seasons of grain income that year was true. Because, they all know that this child started out because he was good at growing food, and it was precisely for this reason that he was included in the eyes of Song Shenzong at an early age.

In fact, Cai Dao said that three seasons of grain can be harvested in a year, and Zhang Dian has witnessed it in Jinghu South Road, there is such a place, because the local rice is planted in hot springs, and it is indeed possible to harvest three seasons of grain in a year, which is recorded in the Northern Wei Dynasty's "Qi Min Yaoshu".

"Well, that's it!" Zhao Xu slapped the collapse heavily and said happily.
