The meeting lasted for several days, and finally on the issue of land state ownership, the imperial court reached a resolution to try to implement it first on Jiangnan 4th Road, Guangnan East and West Road, and Fujian Road. In addition to this, the imperial court reached a separate decision to rebuild the tax system.

Sima Kao's face was very ugly in the past few days, and when the resolution was reached, Zhao Jiaren surprised everyone in the allocation of personnel. Zhao Jiaren, who was the prime minister of Zuo, personally led a team to Songjiang Mansion to preside over the implementation of the state ownership of land. The left prime minister went to work, and Lin'an was naturally responsible for Xu Yuanzhi, the right prime minister and the head of the household department, who had already arrived in Lin'an.

Of course, Zhao Jiaren would not let Xu Yuanzhi take power alone, he summoned the members of the society in Lin'an City, and demanded that major matters must be discussed by the members of the society. And Zhao Jiaren is not far from Lin'an, in case something really can't be solved, he can also rush back.

Just when everyone felt that the arrangement was quite appropriate, Zhao Jiaren publicly said to Sima Kao: "Sima Shangshu, I ask you not to use the opportunity to fight Song traitors to vent your anger. ”

The word was used so accurately that Sima Kao was stunned, and the rest of the participants pretended not to hear.

Zhao Jiaren looked at Sima Kao's aggrieved expression, and replied calmly: "I know that you are very dissatisfied with Wen Liangrong, he is only afraid that many relatives will become traitors to Song. You want to catch him in this matter, it's very easy. I think you are a very fair and capable person, so I ask that you not use this opportunity to vent your anger. ”

was appeased by Zhao Jiaren to a certain extent, and Sima Kao's expression did not change much. He first lowered his head in silence, then raised his head and asked, "Is the captain worried that the courtiers think that we are cleaning him up because of that guy's opposition to the state ownership of land?" ”

Seeing that the members of the society were listening with their ears pricked up, Zhao Jiaren replied calmly: "The matter of land state ownership has already achieved results. Let's take three steps forward and one step back. Overall, two steps have been taken. I even feel like I'm taking a bit of a big step now. That's why I have to go to the local level to preside over these things. That Wen Liangrong's opposition was meaningless. ”

The old fritters had seen this, so they just said 'That's the case' on their faces. Those who are more tender in the political struggle look like 'it is so'. Sima Kao didn't think about this at all, he just said with this hurt expression: "In that case, I'll just wait until later." ”

"Sima Shangshu, I think you are stronger than Jia Nidao. I don't know if you think so. Zhao Jiaren said.

Even though he knew that this topic was to adhere to Zhao Jiaren's philosophy, Sima Kao still felt that he had no way to deny this statement. He hated Jia Nidao very much, according to the normal thinking of human beings, whether it was the truth or not, Sima Kao certainly felt that he was much stronger than Jia Nidao.

Looking at Sima Kao, Zhao Jiaren said solemnly: "Jia Rudao did it to you for reasons that came from his personal wishes, making you bear unknown injustices and delaying your time. If you take revenge on Wen Liangrong for personal gain, it means that you think Jia Nidao is right to do this, and what is wrong is that Jia Nidao should not use this method against you. We all feel that Jia Rudao's methods are completely inappropriate for Xiang Shibi, and Xiang Shibi, as a meritorious man, should not be imprisoned. But I want to ask a question, it is difficult for Xiang Shibi to have no problem at all when he uses military funds, didn't he divert part of the military funds for smuggling? ”

Such a logical relationship is actually very easy to understand, but this logical relationship challenges human feelings, and Zhao Jiaren knows that many people, including Sima Kao, cannot accept it. And Sima Kao himself really felt completely unacceptable.

Attacked by Wen Liangrong, Sima Kao certainly felt that he had a good reason to fight back. He couldn't help but argue: "Jia Rudao is dealing with me with trumped-up charges, and I didn't frame Wen Liangrong." ”

Zhao Jiaren's expression was still serious, he had never let go of the idea of a traitor, so he didn't want people to take advantage of the problem of eliminating traitors, because someone would definitely try to use the cruel response to traitors to achieve their personal goals, "As the secretary of the Criminal Department, the secretary of Dali Temple, you are in charge of the power to decide on the prison." So you should have a higher morality than others. Only in this way can we believe that you will be able to keep the bottom line. If even your enemies can trust that Sima Shangshu will enforce the law impartially, then what do we have to fear? I'm sure you can do it. I don't know Sima Shangshu, do you believe in yourself? ”

Knowing Zhao Jiaren's attitude, Sima Kao was also fighting fiercely in his heart. lived to be forty years old, and Sima Kao only suffered the greatest shame in his life here in Jia Yidao. So when he learned of the fall of Jia Rudao, Sima Kao was happy from the bottom of his heart, and he was so happy that the defeat in the Battle of Dingjiazhou didn't matter.

And Wen Liangrong, who was talking nonsense, dared to openly insult Sima Kao, and even made Sima Kao so angry that he lost his cool and lost face in front of the ministers. For Sima Kao, this is absolutely impossible to forget, let alone forgivable. Only by completely trampling Wen Liangrong under his feet can Sima Kao be liberated.

However, it was Sima Kao who knew that Zhao Jiaren was not wrong. When both were the right-for-tat, Sima Kao spent a lot of effort to force himself to respond: "I will enforce the law impartially and will not retaliate privately." ”

This reluctant voice was so low that Zhao Jiaren had to ask Sima Kao to say it again out loud.

When Sima Kao had to speak out loud again, he sat down in his seat in shame and annoyance. Zhao Jiaren stepped forward and patted Sima Kao on the shoulder, and said loudly to the other members of the society: "I know that everyone will have some thoughts about watching the excitement at this time. It's normal to have this kind of thought, and I'm also a normal person, so I will also have this kind of thought. It is precisely because we are normal people that I also believe that when you encounter the problems encountered by Sima Kao, you will also have a feeling of private revenge, and you can do things of narrow revenge. So I will never look down on Sima Kao because of this. Absolutely not. ”

Sima Kao's face was originally very ugly, but after hearing this, his face improved slightly. But after a while, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, although Zhao Jiaren's words were really very right, very, very right. But such a shameful but proud to tell the dark side of people's hearts is inevitably a big gap from normal.

Zhao Jiaren did not think so, he continued: "Acknowledging the problem is the first step to solving the problem, and only by acknowledging the problem can we find the problem, face the problem, and solve the problem." This is the most difficult first step to take, and I hope everyone will face it up. Also, I would like to emphasize again. We formed this society for ourselves to be able to understand ourselves, improve ourselves, and solve our own confusion. Let's progress, let's improve ourselves. For the country, we hope that the Great Song Dynasty will be able to expel the Tartars and restore the old capital. And open up a new road, open the Great Song Dynasty, and open a new chapter in China. Since we have such expectations for ourselves and our country, we must overcome our dark side. If we can't do it, we can't achieve our ideals. It's normal to make mistakes, and it's normal to lose ideals. However, we can accept the members of the society who have made mistakes, but we will never accept the continued existence of those who have lost their ideals......"

Regardless of whether it is effective or not, Zhao Jiaren first said everything that should be said. He himself led the cadre team to leave Lin'an and go straight to Songjiang Mansion. Looking at Lin'an farther and farther away from the boat, Zhao Jiaren hoped that when he came back, he would not punish these people.

Not long after Zhao Jiaren left Lin'an, someone slipped out of Lin'an and went up the river. After the city of Jiankang (Nanjing) and continue to the west, it is the area now controlled by the Mongols. It didn't take long for the Mongolian generalissimo Boyan to receive news about Lin'an. The most important of these is naturally Zhao Jiaren's departure from Lin'an for Songjiang Mansion.

As a very good general and a very good prime minister, Generalissimo Boyan still felt that he could not fully understand what the so-called 'land state ownership' meant. He had to draw an analogy between something in Han China and Mongolia, and then he quickly imagined what the 'nationalization of Mongolian pastures' would bring. Then Boyan Dashuai rarely endured more than that.

There was only one thing he could imagine, and that was chaos, complete chaos. Each tribe had its own pasture, and before Genghis Khan unified Mongolia, the Mongolian tribes fought for pasture. It was not until the Mongol Great Khan was established, the pastures were divided, and the Great Khan was responsible for coordinating that the foundation of the Mongols was laid. Even so, ranch battles have flared up from time to time.

However, the smile was quickly put away, as fleeting as the clear sky in the rainy season in Jiangnan. Faced with such a good opportunity, Boyan Dashuai found that he had no way to make good use of it. Marshal Ali Hague led 40,000 Mongol troops to engage the Song army, only to be defeated and crushed. The marshal did his best, and after targeted training, the Mongol army was able to barely get used to the long-range attacks of the Song army, and fought bravely. However, in the end, it collapsed.

A collapse is not the same as a defeat. Defeat meant that not all of the Mongol forces fought against the Song army, and some of the defeated Mongol armies could quickly reach the point where they could continue to fight the Song army again. The collapse was based on the fact that all Mongol forces were engaged head-on with the Song army, and were completely routed by the Song army.

It was a very difficult operation to collect the rout, and the defeated Ali Hague army lost its large battalion, and it took four days to barely rely on cavalry to contact most of the rout. However, the defeated soldiers had to eat and drink, so they had to find food for themselves first. It was not until Ali Hague got the grain that the defeated army was reassembled half a month after the defeat.

Even if the Song army did not have cavalry, the Mongol cavalry could carry out liaison work in the shortest possible time, and the 40,000 Mongol troops could only gather 27,000 people. The defeated soldiers, who barely escaped their lives, were devastated by the defeat, and many did not want to fight again. It will take a long time for them to trim and rebuild before they can fight again.

Marshal Boyan's biggest concern now was not how to defeat Zhao Jiaren, he had to consider the possibility of a retreat in the Song army stage in Guide Province.
