604, steady and steady

Brother Zhang's style is too steady, he didn't do anything in the first month of his tenure, he just squatted in the yamen all day long, and he didn't know what he was here to do, and some daily affairs were taken care of by his team.

This news naturally reached Zhao Zhen's ears, and on this day he was playing against Wang Anshi, who was still in mourning, in the garden, and happened to talk about Brother Zhang.

The reason why Wang Anshi was able to enter Beijing ahead of schedule this time was precisely because Zhao Zhen felt that Wang Anshi's new policy was imminent after this round of setbacks, so this well-known thorn was used this time.

And when Zhao Zhen mentioned what the stunned man had done when he was in office these days, Wang Anshi said disapprovingly: "I think what you said is good. Because of the three fires of this new official, it is also necessary to be familiar with the way of officialdom, and these seventeen or eighteen children suddenly became a local parent official, not to mention whether there is a way to be an official in the book of sages, that is, the local folk customs and people's feelings need a while to adjust, if he also takes office with the same three fires as others, it is not so much governance as the prestige of that moment. ”

After listening to this, Zhao Zhen suddenly became enlightened: "If that's the case, at his age, it's too stable." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, just wait for time."

And at this moment, Zhao Rong's palace maid Ruyi hurriedly came and saluted: "Official...... The princess lost her temper again, smashed the dishes and chopsticks she was eating, and coughed up blood. ”

Zhao Zhen was anxious when he heard this, and quickly got up and followed Ruyi to Zhao Rong's bedroom.

Zhao Zhen looked at the chopsticks that were thrown on the ground, but when he raised his nose and smelled the fragrance of boiled eggs with brown sugar, Zhao Zhen looked at this daughter who was originally well-behaved and now lost her temper eight times a day, but she was also full of helplessness.

"Where did this blood come from?"

"Oops...... I'm going to die...... Oops......" Zhao Rong moaned in pain on the bed.

And Zhao Zhen rummaged around the side, and found a small bottle on the ground of Zhao Rong's bed, opened it and smelled it, it was filled with water made of rouge, and when he poured it out, it was exactly the same color as the blood.

As an emperor, he should be angry, this is a crime of bullying, but as a father, he can only sigh that his daughter is becoming more and more naughty. And for the sake of his own system, he just gently put the fake jar aside, sat there and asked softly, "You just want to leave the palace so much?" ”

Zhao Rong didn't answer, just coughed vigorously, looking like she was going to die.

"I'm right."

Zhao Rong didn't react at first, and was still coughing a few times in a fake way, until Zhao Zhen spoke again: "You go and find that Han brother." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Rong sat up from the bed suddenly: "Really!?" ”

Zhao Zhen didn't want to talk much when he saw her like this, just flicked on her head, and then left with his hands behind his back.

But Zhao Rong is still very young now, and she didn't realize her father's loss at the moment, but lifted the blanket on her body and cheered, and then began to make preparations for leaving the palace.

"Ruyi, what do you say I'll do after I go, or I'll be a catcher. I've always wanted to be a catcher, punish evil and promote good! ”

The palace maid just laughed.

And at this moment, Brother Zhang finally got out of the customs, and the first thing he did was to ask the county to call the heads of several rich merchants in Yuhang County, and those rich businessmen felt that it didn't matter, mainly because they knew this small county order, wasn't that the son of Lao Zhang, a poor man in the county, and now he was just a small county order, and what kind of storm could an official with a big sesame rice grain set off.

So they came in a sparse manner, but this time is good, and they can't go back......

Because Brother Zhang spent a whole month sorting out all the past files accumulated in the county, picking out all the unjust, false and wrongful cases in them, and then almost all of them were related to these rich businessmen in the county, and he asked these people to come just to let them fall into the net.

All of a sudden, most of the large and small industrial businessmen in a county were detained by him, and then Brother Zhang didn't talk nonsense at all, and directly opened a court to try the case, 37 people, and sentenced 28 on the spot.

The result of the verdict was also simple, that is, the family property was confiscated and the land was returned to the public, and although the remaining nine were not immediately sentenced, they also obediently handed over their fields in the county after some conversation.

And this time, Brother Zhang can be regarded as stabbing the hornet's nest, which of these rich businessmen is not intertwined, of course they can't be convinced, so they plan to go straight to the capital the next day to find someone to do this sesame official.

But unexpectedly, on this night, a group of fast horses had galloped out of Yuhang County, and went to Lin'an in advance with the tangible evidence sorted out by Brother Zhang.

Almost overnight, Yuhang County has changed, if someone else does this, there will be a mutiny in the county within three days, but the problem is that Brother Zhang posted a notice at the city gate early the next morning, and then distributed the fields.

It's just that most of the people in the county are illiterate, so Brother Zhang simply found a principal to bring people over there to read aloud repeatedly, which means that the land collected from Yuhang County will be distributed to the people who do not have land in their hands according to the capitation, but these people do not have the right to buy and sell but only have the right to use, and the grain grown is owned by individuals except for paying agricultural taxes, and as long as the court does not levy taxes, he does not levy taxes, in other words, if the court does not levy taxes for a day, the grain will be owned by the people.

In the afternoon, there was a long queue of people queuing up at the gate of the yamen to receive the fields, and theoretically, as long as all the people with household registration in Yuhang County had a share, even those who had land but did not meet the number of acres would get the average amount of land.

As for those with more fields, they will use tax exemption to collect a part of the fields, and after receiving the fields, the new regulations of Yuhang County have also come down, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is strictly restricted from land flow, and it is no longer allowed to buy and sell fields without permission, and even if you want to buy and sell, you need to pay almost 60% of the transaction tax.

Although there are still many loopholes here, Brother Zhang must ensure the stability of Yuhang County as soon as possible, as for the businessman, the businessman is the pig raised by the state, and now it is time to kill the pig.

And even so, Yuhang County is still a wither, and the circulation of goods has gradually been hindered, but Brother Zhang is not in a hurry, because this place is sitting on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, although because of the chaos, the Grand Canal is now almost unused, but the Grand Canal is still there.

Merchants, as long as they have enough money, they even dare to sell the hemp rope that hangs them. Therefore, Brother Zhang sent people to several other counties to negotiate and named it investment promotion.

They can buy real estate in Yuhang, but they can't buy real estate, and they will be given quite generous discounts.

On the fifth day after the policy was released, the whole county was discussing these things, but the court was lively.

Early this day, Zhao Zhen received seven or eight impeachments about a small county order, and without exception they were all about the stunned man, but Zhao Zhen, who should have been irritable, was full of smiles at the moment, because he knew the whole thing two days earlier, and even all the evidence and relevant laws were presented to him together.

Let's not talk about whether the stunned man is fierce or not, just talk about his meticulousness, it really doesn't look like a teenager at all, this is simply the kind of thing that only a cunning old guy with forty or fifty years of officialdom experience can do, and the main thing is that it is not leaky.

And this guy is also a real murderer, he really doesn't care about the local heroes at all, and directly uses the capital team to suppress it, and the operation of dividing the land makes it possible to directly take precautions for the local rebellion.

What's even more outrageous is that during his month of retreat, even the follow-up solutions have been done, and they are all on Zhao Zhen's desk. And what he writes is also interesting, that is, he completely abandons the way of writing articles, and uses a rigid and serious but concise style, which is clear and clear one by one, which can be said to be full of homework.

After Zhao Zhen got it, he showed it to Wang Anshi as soon as possible, and Wang Anshi was even a little stunned after reading it, because many things here were advocated in his new policy, but the problem was that he knew that the implementation of his new policy would definitely be a bloody storm, but the things written by the stunned man in the mouth of this official were full of four or two thousand pounds, and even put forward a very new thing, that is, the game theory of urban and rural areas, advocating that the countryside surround the city and divide industry and agriculture into two complementary fields.

After Wang Anshi got what Brother Zhang wrote, he studied it all night, patted his thigh and shouted that Tianzong was a genius fifteen times, because he wondered "Is this feasible" and pinched off eighty beards.

In fact, at this point, Wang Anshi has already regarded this stunned man who was hand-picked by the emperor as his own person, and as for the people below him, he wants to impeach him? Dream!

Sure enough, at this time, Wang Anshi was the first to stand up for a verbal battle against Confucianism, and then the conservatives led by Ouyang Xiu on the opposite side began to debate with Wang Anshi.

Everyone is a big guy, and the debate is naturally fierce and classic.

The conservatives advocated that the law of the ancestors was immutable, and the reformers naturally had their own theoretical support, and in the end they handed over the final decision to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen smiled and let people say that the evidence at hand was handed to them, and after Ouyang Xiu and the others saw it, their faces flushed with shame for the first time.

"The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Yushitai, the three divisions have gone to Yuhang to verify, and everything is subject to the verification of the three divisions." After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he coughed lightly, and the eunuch under him sang "retreat", and then Zhao Zhen slowly left the dragon chair and turned to leave.

Not long after he left, the ministers also left, and only Wang Anshi was announced by Zhao Zhen, and the two walked on the road to the garden, Zhao Zhen smiled very heartily: "Hahahaha, since I succeeded to the throne at the age of twelve, I am the only one who raises his eyebrows today." ”

"Official, the stunned man you said, the minister thinks that he is a rare talent, and he needs to be cultivated well."

"Well, although he is a stunned man, he is indeed a leakless person, but he doesn't look like a teenager. Jiefu, how do you think he compares to when you were younger? ”

"It's better to be a minister."

Wang Anshi is not modest, he looks back at the past, how many years he has been up and down in the officialdom, he only knows how to drill forward, how can he be so thoughtful and leaky.

Look at what this kid is doing, although it is only a small county, but looking at his skills and courage, where would he have thought that this is the first time that a new imperial examination person has become an official.

"I'm going to keep him down." Zhao Zhen sighed with his hands behind his back: "I don't know how long I can live, and I can't hand over a mess to my children and grandchildren." I want to see if his method can work, and see if I can make the Great Song Dynasty regroup and no longer send people under the fence. ”

"The official is wise."

"It's not wise, it's just that I know that I'm a mediocre talent, and I can't compare with your geniuses, so let you show your strength."

And at this moment, a carriage had slowly stopped at the gate of Yuhang, and the curtain of the carriage was raised, revealing a young and delicate face, and she stared around with big eyes, as if she was particularly curious about everything.

"Your Highness, we have arrived."

"Don't call me Your Highness outside, you can call me Miss."

Zhao Rong said to the maid: "This is where the elder brother of the Zhang family came out, so small......"

After the turmoil of the previous few days, the business here has not fully recovered, so the road seems to be a little sparse, and their carriage slowly drove into the county seat, because there are only a few thousand households, so the place is not big.

Not long after entering, Zhao Rong saw a person standing in front of a house, and there were several craftsmen-like people standing beside them, holding a piece of paper in their hands, as if they were talking about something.

Zhao Rong's eyes were good, she saw at a glance that the young man in the middle was not her brother Zhang, so she hurriedly stopped the carriage, and she trotted all the way to Brother Zhang's side with the support of the maid.

"Brother Zhang!"

Zhao Rong is young, her voice is crisp, Brother Zhang immediately turned around after hearing it, and when he saw that it was Zhao Rong, he was also a little surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm hungry...... If I can't eat any more of your cooking, I'm going to die!" ”

The little girl is coquettish, and Brother Zhang has no choice but to put down the drawings in his hand and say, "Then I'll cook for you." ”

"Good, good!" Zhao Rong cheered, and then on the way back, she asked, "Brother Zhang, what are you doing?" ”

"Ready to make coke, and then ready to make steel." Brother Zhang smiled: "I want to speed up the technology tree." ”

Zhao Rong had long been accustomed to the strange words that he would always come out of nowhere: "Will you also make steel?" ”

"Well, a little." Brother Zhang turned around and pointed to about 800 acres of vacant land not far away: "This one, I plan to build an industrial park, and it will be put into production in a year or two." ”

Zhao Rong looked at Brother Zhang's eyes full of admiration: "It's amazing......"

"But this is the time to collect a good batch of breeding pigs. I plan to breed it for a few years and improve the meat yield. Brother Zhang said and took out a long list from his arms: "There are still a lot of things to do......
