Chapter 145: The Mighty Dragon and the Earth Snake (8)

Although Hu Yuanfeng, the waiter of the Ministry of Agriculture, was belittled not long ago, Minister Jiang Ying, Minister of Agriculture, did not have the slightest expression of loss. At this time, he was in his office and was amazed at the speech of Lu Xiufu, the secretary of the household department, "You can reprimand, tsk!" ”

Sitting opposite Jiang Ying was Mei Youqian, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Mei Shilang smiled: "I was sitting between the official family and Lu Xiufu, and I was thinking at that time, if the official family stood up and beat Lu Xiufu with a cane, should I stop it." ”

"Humph! Gloat. Jiang Ying replied funny.

"I don't mean to gloat. Hu Yuanfeng said bastard words, and the official family demoted him to Lingnan in a blink of an eye. Now that the official family has not sent Lu Hideo for a long time, it is really a little incomprehensible. Mei Shilang expressed his opinion.

This is indeed a more wonderful thing, first of all, Zhao Guanjia accidentally twisted his waist, although everyone has also had such an experience, although the senior massage therapist of Hangzhou Hospital said that Zhao Guanjia was completely sprained, not other problems. But Zhao Guan's family has always been in good health, and it is a little strange for such a thing to happen.

In addition, Zhao Guanjia is such a decisive and resolute person, and he didn't give a deal to Lu Xiufu for two days.

"Maybe it's because Lu Xiufu is a hero. The official family can't bear to do it? Jiang Ying put forward her own opinion.

"Speaking of heroes, isn't Li Tingzhi a hero? The official family only left him with dignity. Among the ministers of the DPRK and China, there is only Zhang Shijie, no matter what he does, the official family leaves him a way. Mei Shilang expressed a different opinion.

"Zhang Shijie is loyal, if you deal with him, I am afraid that many people will be cold."

"Cut!" Mei Shilang made a disdainful voice, "That's what everyone is saying now, and if you really deal with him, you will dispose of it." Now that Lu Xiufu has been disposed of, there will indeed be people who will give him grievances, but when I see the official family so decisive, won't I feel happy and support the official family more? ”

Minister Jiang Ying nodded slightly. As the Minister of Agriculture, he is already a figure on the cusp. If Zhao Jiaren changes his policy, Jiang Ying will definitely become the one to be sacrificed. To put it more bluntly, if Lu Xiufu is not belittled, it will probably be Jiang Ying's turn to be belittled. Although she didn't want to act too intensely, Jiang Ying really couldn't really speak for Lu Xiufu.

At this time, Zhao Jiaren was receiving physiotherapy from the masseur of Hangzhou Hospital, and the teacher had great strength, rubbing his waist muscles, which made Zhao Jiaren feel very impacted. Massage, followed by wormwood smoke, hoping to invigorate the blood as soon as possible. In those somewhat pungent wormwood smoke, Zhao Jiaren also felt very embarrassed.

If it weren't for Lu Xiufu, Zhao Jiaren would have solved the problem a long time ago. Because it was Lu Xiufu, Zhao Jiaren sent Wen Tianxiang to persuade Lu Xiufu, hoping that Lu Xiufu would be able to get lost. But Zhao Jiaren himself did not dare to be too confident. A civil official who can jump into the sea with the little emperor on his back is already a very bloody person in the Great Song Dynasty. Such a bloody person will not be bought, and he will not change his position so easily.

Just thinking about it, I heard the secretary come in and say, "Official, Wen Tianxiang asks to see you." ”

"Let him in." Zhao Jiaren said lying on the narrow physiotherapy bed.

A moment later, Wen Tianxiang walked in. Seeing Zhao Jiaren lying on his stomach a little disheveled, revealing his waist, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The official family still needs to take care of his body." ”

"What? What did Lu Hideo say that would make my condition worse? ”

Lu Xiufu said that if he could prevent the landlord from selling the land, he could follow the official family.

"Song Rui, you didn't tell him that the thousand-year-old land was exchanged for eight hundred masters, and the landlord's land was also bought by them from other families."

"Official, my family is a big landlord, of course I said. But Lu Hideo said that the two are different. One is his own doing, and the other is the calculation of the court. It's not the same. ”

"Huh! Hehe! Uh......" Zhao Jiaren was originally amused, but as a result, he triggered the sore spot, so he grinned his teeth.

Wen Tianxiang didn't speak again, just sat quietly next to Zhao Jiaren, waiting for Zhao Jiaren to continue speaking.

"Song Rui, since your family is a big landowner, don't you have any complaints about the policy?" Zhao Jiaren asked tentatively.

"Official, before President Lin'an surrendered, I had already sold my family property. Since then, I have deeply hated myself for being a dog and a horse, and I love to fight with others. The thousand-year-old field is exchanged for eight hundred masters, the land is the master, and I am the guest. ”

"That's how it was." Zhao Jiaren smiled bitterly. He felt more pain in his lower back, plus tingling and itching, very uncomfortable, "Even you say that, no wonder so many people are completely against it." ”

"Official, if it's right, do it. Actually, some people don't have to care. Wen Tianxiang persuaded.

"No, no, no. I don't care what the upper echelons think, I'm worried that the tenant farmers don't understand the reason. If they think that the landlord is better than them, it will be miserable. It seems that I still need to write some articles, Song Rui ......, forget it. ”

"I don't know what the official family commands?"

"You are a secretary of the ministry, and it is probably inappropriate for you to write a survey report on the survival of farmers in the Great Song Dynasty. I'll find someone else to write it. Do you have any recommendations? Be as fair as possible to people. Preferably someone from a large landowner's background. ”

"Why do you want people from big landowners?"

"He is not a big landlord, where does he understand the methods of big landlords. I am not a landlord, so I can't write such a report. ”

"Then let my second brother write it."

“…… Song Rui is really loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Jiaren sighed. Wen Tianxiang's third brother, Wen Zhang, was already an iconic figure in the history of agricultural regulations and the enforcement of tax laws, and Wen Tianxiang's second brother wrote a report exposing how the big landlords exploited tenants and farmers. This writer has completely become the antithesis of the landlord class.

After sighing, Zhao Jiaren said to Wen Tianxiang: "Let Lu Xiufu come to see me once." ”

…… The official family really wants to be benevolent to Lu Xiufu. Wen Tianxiang thought to himself, but replied simply: "Obey." ”

Three hours old, Zhao Jiaren endured back pain and met with Lu Xiufu and talked for nearly an hour. In the end, Zhao Jiaren surrendered, and early the next morning, Zhao Jiaren dismissed Lu Xiufu and asked him to go to Gusu to be the director of the health bureau. No matter what Lu Xiufu did, Zhao Jiaren didn't want to use derogatory means against him. In case Lu Xiufu dies on the road, Zhao Jiaren will feel uneasy in conscience.

Lu Xiufu was also stubborn, first accepted the order, and then wrote a letter of resignation to the Ministry of Health in his capacity as the director of the Gusu Health Bureau, and left the officialdom. Zhao Jiaren could only sigh in his heart.

Within a month, the head of the household department resigned after being demoted, and the agricultural department was reprimanded to Lingnan. All officials knew that Zhao Jiaren's attitude was unshakable, and new regulations on taxation and agricultural production began to be implemented throughout the country. It didn't take long for fines to be decided in various places.
