Cai Xianqing immediately took action. After learning about the letter, he first went to visit a few squires, and what he said was: "The new policy will be implemented, but it is not as radical as Zhenjiang, and you are ready to divide your land." It's just that the surplus money of the government is used to help some poor people and reclaim some wasteland, which will not hinder everyone's interests. Besides, the king of Wanjun has already allowed it, so let Wei Huai take advantage of the situation. These exculpatory words for Wei Huai really relieved the squires a lot, and they no longer regarded the New Deal as a flood beast; In addition, this is Cai Xianqing's face, so he had to give it, so he reluctantly agreed, and no one said that he couldn't get along.

As for the people in the government, Cai Xianqing only sent someone to hand over the letter, writing: "Wei Huaisi has established a new policy for a long time, and the people will be happy when they hear it." If it is rejected without reason, in case of provoking a popular uprising, I am afraid that the public will be held accountable, and it will be difficult to bear the guilt. Now that the king of the county does not betray his faith, and the squire has no reason to object, it is better to push the boat down the river and wait for the situation. After reading it, the dignitaries from all over the place also considered the benefits and losses, and they thought so, and strengthened their thoughts of not opposing the New Deal.

Wan Heshun wanted to use the power of his subordinates to suppress the matter of the new deal, but who knew that this piece did not receive any resistance, and came to him. Although a few officials raised objections, the dignitaries still approved of the Academy's current actions, and Wan Heshun had no choice but to swallow his anger and swallow this self-brewed bitter fruit.

Although the government was only a temporary compromise, he felt that if he allowed the situation to develop like this, sooner or later there would be chaos. Wan Heshun did not leave after the meeting ended, but invited Hu Qi to the side hall alone to talk.

"Those officials were all promoted by me, and they kept saying that they were my confidants, and when they encountered a big event, they scattered one after another, each with a ghost, it was really ...... What a vain to raise them! Wan Heshun was so angry that he threw his sleeves and scolded loudly.

Hu Qi hurriedly covered the door of the palace and stepped forward to persuade: "Since the king of the county has made his own words and practiced them, why should he regret it?" The wine of the guard sacrifice is nothing but a rotten Confucianism, and we hold the power of the army, and we will not make waves of it. ”

"That being said, if you want to keep this academy in Nanjing, there are endless hidden dangers." Wan He Shun sighed, "I need to quickly cut off the root of this bane and return me to a quiet rule." ”

Hu Qi said: "Since they want to take it step by step, let's press step by step, so that the other party has no respite." ”

"Tell me."

"On the one hand, he urged all states and counties to arrest the academy thieves and present an offensive of encirclement and suppression, and on the other hand, he forced Wei Huai to expand the new policy, and if he did not agree, he would announce it to the people in a bad name; If he agreed, he would proclaim to the officials and squires to arouse the panic in their hearts. In this way, naturally we did not dare to obey the academy, but they stood on our side. This is the best of both worlds, what does the county king think? ”

Wan Heshun suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect you Hu Shangshu to really come up with a strange plan!" People who didn't want to be kind on weekdays also learned this bad stomach! Okay, let's do it. ”

Hu Qi Zhengse said: "The so-called fool's thousand worries must have one, and the villain has a flash of inspiration, which is not commendable." ”

The work of 'counting and receiving fields' was carried out for many days, but Wei Huai and others found that although it was a good harvest year, there was not much grain and money left in the warehouse, which made people feel very lost. After estimation, these silver can only help more than 60 poor peasants, and the help to people's livelihood is minimal, and the new deal with the very high demand is no different from the previous small repairs and small repairs, bringing such a big sense of gap, which makes Xia Yuanlong shake his head.

After everyone relented for a while, some people comforted them and said that 'no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat', encouraging everyone not to be too discouraged.

But it turned out that psychological comfort had no effect, and the people were not very satisfied with the fledgling New Deal. They have been waiting for a long time, and they have listened to Wei Huai talk about "Xing Yao" a few years ago, but now they are still looking forward to it. But out of respect for Wei Huai, they didn't criticize it in their mouths, but they just tacitly understood it.

The low morale is a good time for the Wandang to intervene. Wan Heshun dressed himself up as a righteous man who hanged the people and killed the crime, and sent Hu Qi to lead several envoys to the academy together, to ask the people about the crime of the failure to reform the Wenmeng.

Wei Huai didn't dare to slack off, so he had to greet him happily: "There is Lao Hu Shangshu." ”

"Mr. Wei," Hu Qi smiled as he pulled his shoulder, "Hu has always admired your determination. But...... Lately, it seems to have lost some of its sharpness. ”

As soon as Wei Huai raised his eyelids, he immediately understood his intention here. But he still felt that Hudge was a good talker, so he smiled faintly and brought the latter into his seat.

"Ah, I'm not going to beat around the bush, just tell Mr.," Hu Qi looked worried, "Recently, the people's support for the academy has decreased. If Mr. does not come up with the real New Deal, such empty promises day by day will be cold not only in the hearts of the people, but also in the hearts of all the people in the academy. ”

Wei Huai was ashamed of what he said, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, Xia Yuanlong hurriedly walked from behind him and refuted: "The government doesn't store money and food, it's been a year, and there is no disaster or famine, but only that little bit is left, and it is not enough to embezzle it at all." At this time, the blame is placed on the people we execute, don't you think it's inappropriate? ”

Hu Qi said calmly: "The situation is different in each place, if I am Nanjing, the palace city needs to be repaired, the Qinhuai River needs to be dredged, the market needs to be maintained, and there are many officials. It's nice to have extra now. ”

Yuan Long sneered: "Shangshu has been talking for a long time, and only one southern tour is unique here. However, what does the southern tour spend on the money at that time, and the new money and grain saved this year? Excuses are not so easy to find. ”

"I don't care," Hu Qi glared at him, then waved his hand, "You can't let King Wanjun take this responsibility, right?" Whoever came up with the idea of using the land, the people will be dissatisfied with whomever they want, and they will not count these three seven twenty-one with you. ”

"No need to argue!" Wei Huai grabbed Xia Yuanlong, "Shangshu has any way, please consult Gao Jian." ”

"You make the New Deal bigger and make the people happy, it's as simple as that, don't tell me you can't do it." Hudge spread his hands.

"But Wan ......" Wei Huai's words were just halfway out, and his voice lowered again.

"What's wrong with King Wanjun?" Hu Qi was a little unhappy, "If there is no King of Wanjun, the plaque of this Politics Academy will not be able to be hung up." He's kind of supporting you a lot, and he still wants to make an inch? ”

Xia Yuanlong and Wei Huai glanced at each other, and they both thought that the current situation was getting more and more difficult.

"Please Mr. Wei have an idea, don't grind, we have to go back to the errand!" The messenger behind urged sharply.

Wei Huai had nothing to do, so he had to admit: "I will do it according to the next." ”
