Although those eunuchs and relatives were greedy, they would at least give some of the corrupt wealth to the emperor. But those powerful families built a castle in the countryside.

What are they trying to do?

In fact, the scourge of the party in history is actually the same as the loss of the marquis of Jin during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in fact, the nature is the same, the emperor wants to use this to fight the powerful forces, but the method taken by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is more ingenious, and he himself is famous, and the former Han Dynasty did not form a strong local strong force in the local area. And the method taken by the Second Emperor Huan Ling was too explosive.

This eventually led to the Cao Wei Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, it seemed to be huge, but in fact, its effect was not as deadly as the rebellion of Green Forest and Red Mei in the later period of Wang Mang's new dynasty? As soon as Emperor Ling of Han and the local tycoons compromised, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quickly extinguished. The rest are just remnants.

"Your Majesty, your world today is actually not much better than the situation of the Second Emperor Huan Ling. The territory of the Later Han Dynasty is vast, although the power of Xianbei has gradually become large, but the sixteen states of Youyun are still within its territory, with Yanshan and Yuguan in hand, the Later Han Dynasty is not afraid that the nomads in the north will invade the Central Plains. Besides, these civil official families today are much stronger than the marquis of the former Han Dynasty.

When the ancient emperors rewarded the heroes, they were nothing more than two things, titles and food. During the period of the Two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the heroes could get a county, or even several counties, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was even more generous to the founding heroes, and the marquis of ten thousand households abounded. However, there is one thing, the government affairs of the leased land are not under their own jurisdiction, and they are all managed by the princes sent by the imperial court, which is essentially equivalent to the county order of a county.

However, in my Great Song Dynasty, it became the norm to emphasize literature over military force, and military attachés were added to the rank of knight, but they were confined to the Gyeonggi region. But the civil officials are much freer, and in the Renzong period, the civil officials have formed countless families, and even the national princes are not as majestic as the Wanhu Marquis in ancient times, but in fact, they are more affordable than those Wanhu Marquis back then.

For example, the Han family in Xiangzhou, Han Qi is a great favor to your grandfather! But you may not know that the entire land in Xiangzhou now actually belongs to the Han family, and the farmers in Xiangzhou are also tenants of the Han family. These tenants are born as members of the Han family, and dead as ghosts of the Han family. Your Majesty, maybe it won't be long before these of your people will completely forget about you, the emperor, and even what is the surname of the emperor of my Great Song Dynasty?

In the current situation in the Gyeonggi region, do you think there is a real shortage of food? In fact, even the land available for cultivation in the Gyeonggi area is now divided among noble families such as the Cao family, the Pan family, and the Gao family. Therefore, Poor Dao will reveal his hole cards to him in front of Lu Jiawen, and by the way, test the Lu family's attitude towards it.

Besides, even if the Lu family reveals this matter, if His Majesty really has the courage to abolish the results of the two imperial examinations, how can those literati still care about us dealing with the Lu family or the Han family? Then, in addition to exposing their own wealth, the Lu family's move will not get any sympathy, and it will also leave you with an excuse to clean up them. Your Majesty, don't forget, 'leaking the forbidden Chinese language' is an unforgivable sin! Speaking of which, Cai Dao has roughly stated his purpose.

Now, it depends on whether Zhao Xu has the courage to break the kettle.

Zhao Xu pondered for a long time, as if he had made up some kind of determination, clenched his fists tightly, looked at Cai Dao and asked, "Cai Dao, you alarmed the Lu family, but what is your ultimate goal?" ”

"Your Majesty, whether the Lu family took the initiative to move to Huizhou, in fact, does not matter, because the Lu family is from Huainan, whether they are willing to move away and return the land to the imperial court will have little impact on the border. The place where the poor road really wants to move is the local tyrants and inferior gentry and families in the east and west roads of Hebei, Hedong Road, and northwest roads, as long as these people are cleaned out.

Generally speaking, it is to implement the tuntian and uniform field system on Hedong Road, Hebei East and West Road, and Northwest Zhulu, and if possible, to implement the uniform field system in all areas north of the Yangtze River. If Your Majesty rewards the military generals in the future, in addition to titles and money, if you want to reward them with land, you can give them the fertile land in the south.

Your Majesty, since Emperor Zhenzong introduced Champa rice, the financial revenue of the southern region has long surpassed that of the north, and Bianliang City is now heavily dependent on the grain transported from the south by the Grand Canal. Moreover, the land in the north, even if one season of grain is cultivated a year, its output will be affected by the lack of land fertility, but after the south has Champa rice, most areas grow grain twice a year, and its output is very considerable.

What's more, the conscription and military service in the north itself is more frequent than in the south, especially in the northwest, and the people on the border have to work hard to grow grain, and they must also prevent the invasion of the Western Xia Kingdom anytime and anywhere. It is no wonder that those who fled the famine either went straight to Bianliang City or fled all the way to the south. In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the heavy snow on Hedong Road, the people who fled to Bishui Guanqian were resettled to Jinghu South Road, in recent years, the situation on Hedong Road has improved, but back then, most of the people who fled were unwilling to return to their hometowns.

Speaking of which, Your Majesty, when Zhang Dian developed Jinghu South Road and North Road, in order to defeat and subdue Meishanman, who had been unruly, burned and robbed the Han people on both roads of Jinghu, he killed a lot of people in the land of Nanjiang. Jinshi Zhang Jie wrote to the imperial court, saying that Zhang Dian had killed too many people in Nanjiang, including eighteen or nineteen innocent people, floating corpses covering the river, and the people did not eat fish for several months.

Your Majesty, this Zhang Jie was a magistrate in Jiangling but could not save the people who were taken captive by Meishan and went to the Song Dynasty, Zhang Dian subdued those barbarians who had not surrendered since the beginning of the Song Dynasty by force, but Zhang Jie brazenly said that the people Zhang Dian killed were innocent. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. This Zhang Jie treats the barbarians as innocents, so what are the Song people who were taken away and killed by the barbarians?

Your Majesty, Poor Dao thinks that you should first move this Zhang Jie's family to the vicinity of Hongde City, so that he can feel whether the Xixia people are innocent or not. ”

"Hmmm! I know, you go down first! "Such a small person, Zhao Xu naturally will not refute Cai Dao's face, besides, if he clearly disposes of this Zhang Jie, he can still sell Zhang Dian a favor, which can be regarded as a means to buy this financial minister. However, Zhao Xu doesn't need to remember the name of this little person, just remind himself by Liang Shicheng when the time comes.

After hearing so much, Zhao Xu couldn't wait to kick Cai Dao out of the palace now.

And then came the imperial list that was promulgated to the whole world to seek the great Song Bu.

The literati were in charge of the government, so they naturally knew who Bu Shi was, and they also understood the meaning of Zhao Xu's move.

Many people are waiting to see Zhao Xu's jokes, and there is naturally no shortage of rich businessmen in the Great Song Dynasty, but these rich businessmen who take over the list are at most just joining in the fun.

Even if you look at the lively people and overestimate it, the amount of food donated by these merchants to the imperial court is only a million stones per person.
