In the Jinling Lecture Hall, in the Humble Administrator's Garden, Zhao Hong was frowning, listening to the report.

"Back to Your Majesty, after the interrogation of the ministers and others, the officials and the local scoundrels were embarrassed to form a local bully force, and the swords were also sold to these ravages through the officials. The Jiangning County Government is indeed responsible for the lack of supervision. ”

Wei Liaoweng replied cautiously, observing his words.

"It's the rule of officials again, it seems that this clarifies the rule of officials, and the officials and officials have to check it together!"

Zhao Hong shook his head and said angrily.

The officials had no money, so they could only make a living by asking for bribes. The so-called lack of people's hearts swallows elephants, and the officials are accustomed to extortion and extortion, and their desires are difficult to fill, so many people will make it difficult to ask for bribes, steal from themselves, rely on the powerful to oppress the people, collude with each other, and engage in favoritism and irregularities, which is one of the maladministrations of all dynasties.

The rule of officials can be described as a sign of the rise and fall of a dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the court sells swords, and rumors are spreading in the government and the opposition, Your Majesty should be careful!"

Wei Liaoweng spoke bitterly, which shocked Zhao Hong's heart.

Swords and guns were openly sold among the people, not only to increase the income of the imperial court, but also to encourage martial arts. But he didn't expect that after only three months of implementation, there would be a lot more cases of sword wounding, robbery, and murder in various places, which caused a lot of turmoil. So much so that there have been calls for banning the sale of weapons by the people in the DPRK and China.

According to the opinions of these ministers and ministers, once the weak Great Song Dynasty let go of the sale of knives and guns, it is very likely that it will flow into the hands of the mob and shake the fundamentals.

Zhao Hong couldn't help but think of the ban on guns in the beautiful country in later generations.

It doesn't seem quite the same. If he remembered correctly, Song Jiang could carry the Pu knife when he went out, which was much longer than the sword sold by the Weapons Manufacturing Division.

Judging from the fact that Tian Yi was attacked, the knives, guns and weapons did not enter the hands of the so-called mob, but were preempted by the ruffians and hooligans. This shows the lack of supervision by the government and the corruption of the officials.

According to the regulations for the sale of swords, guns and swords, the people who buy them must report to the government, and the quantity is one per person in principle. It is difficult for those who have a criminal record and a bad reputation to buy weapons, and ordinary people, unless they want to apply for the martial arts hall or join the army, will not buy weapons.

In most cases, those who can afford to buy weapons are rich and noble, after all, the things of the Jiangnan Weapons Manufacturing Division are not cheap, a knife costs about twenty yuan, and the price of a sword is even more expensive. In the face of the huge profits from the sale of weapons, Zhao Hong seems to have no reason to give up the sale of weapons.

At present, what we are afraid of is not the sale of swords, but the corruption of officials, which affects the implementation of the new policy. If Jiangnan East Road can't be implemented, then the implementation in the entire Great Song Dynasty is a joke.

"Your Majesty, Wang Gang, the envoy of Jiangnan East Road, Hu Mengyu, the general manager of Jiankang Mansion, Zhou Ping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Division, and Song Ci, the criminal officer of Jiankang Mansion, are asking to see you outside."

Li Tang came in to report, and Zhao Hong couldn't help but be stunned.

So many adults from Jiangnan East Road came together, didn't something happen?

"Your Majesty, when the officials of our Jingjie Institute were clearing the acres of fields in various places on Jiangnan East Road, they were obstructed by the local villagers, and 33 officials of our Jingjie Institute were injured and 16 officials of the Jingjie Institute were killed!"

Hu Mengyu whispered, Zhao Hong was shocked, and he was petrified for a while.

The people he wanted to save from suffering actually killed and wounded the officials of the Boundary Office?

Could it be that they are the customers of the local tyrants and gentry? Is the government's implementation of the meridian law smashing their jobs?

Poor people who are afflicted, have you not had enough of your hard days?

What a joke!

Everything that Jingjie has done is not because the treasury is empty, and the tax leakage is becoming more and more serious, and he wants to train and strengthen the army, and by the way, kill the rich and help the poor. Why was it that the upright state enforced the law, and the court officials who did their best were beaten to death?

And he was beaten to death by the hard-working masses who were in good shape!

Only by clearing the acres of land and determining the color of the land can the tax be determined. A large number of hidden acres of land have been discovered, which has greatly increased the area of cultivated land on the government's tax register, and the government's taxes have also greatly increased, and many landless soldiers and civilians have cultivated land.

This is also Zhao Hong's original intention to implement the meridian law.

Poor people will have something to hate. These fools acted recklessly and smashed the softness in Zhao Hong's heart.

"Your Majesty, the reason for this is that when the officials were clearing the acres of land on Jiangnan East Road, some people walked around the rumors, saying that the imperial court was measuring the land, and it was necessary to recover the arrears accumulated over the years and increase the land endowment. The villagers directly rioted, killing officials and destroying the office, and there was a reason for the incident. ”

Hu Mengyu frowned and reported to Zhao Hong.

As a member of the party, he seems to be in a high position, and he only knows when he implements the new policy, but the road is long and the road is long, and he can't do anything.

"Your Majesty, most places on Jiangnan East Road are the same. Originally, there were few fields and many mountains, but they were all annexed by the powerful, the rich were full of gold and silver, and the poor were ragged, like beggars. Once instigated by traitors, they will swarm and cause a popular uprising! ”

Wang Gang stiffened, and then Hu Mengyu played.

"Civil unrest?"

Zhao Hong's face sank like water, sneered, and asked a few officials from the Jingjie Institute below.

"You officials, what is going on, tell me in detail."

The praying mantis blocked his arm, and he didn't measure his strength, and he dared to kill the official and destroy the office. This time, he must kill the chickens and monkeys, and risk the world to eliminate these roadblocks and scum.

Zhao Hong's face was pale, and the ministers looked at each other.

Once the emperor is angry, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, I waited in Qingzhang Tianmu in Huizhou, and as soon as the villagers saw the officials, they beat several colleagues to death without saying a word. The yamen of the Jingjie Institute in Huizhou was also burned down, and several colleagues were burned to death inside! ”

Wu Shan, who was in the Huizhou Economic Boundary Institute, trembled, and fell to the ground crying bitterly. The local villagers are like wolves and tigers, and they will take people's lives if they disagree, which is really angry and frightening.

"Your Majesty, Huangjiazhuang, Ningguo County, Ningguo Prefecture, we are busy in the fields, villagers come from all directions, colleagues who run slowly are killed, and the rest are forced to jump into the river, except for Weichen and the others, the other colleagues are dead!"

Wu Hai knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and burst into tears.

If he hadn't run fast and could swim, he would have died.

One bad news after another came up, Zhao Hong's face was solemn, but it never came out.

Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and the eyes were not instantaneous.

Don't be chaotic in the face of danger, don't be surprised when things change, this is probably the quality that an emperor should have.

It's all pretended!

For a long time, I have been holding back, and I have to get depression and see a psychiatrist.

"Get up! It was my lack of consideration that allowed these officials to die in vain. ”

Zhao Hong's heart was heavy and he asked everyone to get up.

After all, it was a living life, they died tragically, and he had to carry this cauldron.

"Your Majesty, these foolish people are confused, extremely vicious, and have nothing to do with Your Majesty."

Wang Gang hurriedly comforted Zhao Hong.

"Confused, vicious, you're right!"

Zhao Hong sneered, sat up straight, and continued to ask.

"Hu Mengyu, from March to the present, how many cases of assault on the Jingjie Institute have there been in the entire Jiangnan East Road? How many people got involved? ”

Killing officials and destroying officials, things have developed to such an extent that there is no room for compromise, and can only be solved by iron-blooded means.

Otherwise, the New Deal is just empty talk, and the Meridian Law is a joke.

And he is the laughing stock in the mouth of the world.

I'll fuck your uncle!

"Back to Your Majesty, from the implementation of the Jingjie Law to the present, a total of 13 incidents have occurred in more than half of the prefectures and counties on Jiangnan East Road, and the number of people involved in the eunuchs may be as high as five or six ......thousand."

Hu Mengyu didn't dare to hide it, and replied carefully.

Public anger is hard to make, is the new deal on Jiangnan East Road about to come to an abrupt end?

"Wang Gang, what do you think?"

Zhao Hong threw the problem to Wang Gang.

As a feudal official and an important minister of the imperial court, he won't just do this.

"Your Majesty, the villagers are honest and stupid, how can they have such courage? It is all the official gentry who are strong and strong. Since ancient times, the imperial power does not go to the countryside, the law does not blame the public, and His Majesty must think twice. ”

Wang Gang thought about it and replied.

Ordinary people don't do these things. It is these forces that do not want the law to be implemented by the big landlords and those who incite the people's revolt.

These people have a great family, and there are many servants and families in the house, and their influence in the countryside is immeasurable.

"Your Majesty, the successive implementation of the meridian boundary law in this dynasty has been in vain. The reason for this is that officials colluded with Haoqiang and did everything possible to obstruct it. In the opinion of the minister, it is either to the end and never compromise. Or die down and never talk about the New Deal again! ”

Zhou Ping was young and outspoken, which made the atmosphere in the lobby even more depressing.

Pull up the radish and bring up the puree. Jiangnan East Road implemented a new policy, and even the Anti-Corruption Department intervened. Once investigated, the officials and heroes will be involved, but I am afraid that they will be implicated countless times, and they will hurt their muscles and bones.

"Your Majesty, if you implicate too much, I am afraid that it will cause a popular uprising and shake the foundation of the country. The minister thought that he should not act in a hurry. ”

Wang Gang still insists on seeking the country and prudence.

"Your Majesty, if you want to implement the new policy, you must be severely punished by severe laws, otherwise the new policy will inevitably end in nothing. Your Majesty ponder! ”

Hu Mengyu is young, but he still insists on re-enforcing the spicy hand and implementing the new policy.

Zhao Hong lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he spoke.

"Song Ti Xing, according to my Great Song law, how should this matter be handled?"

In his heart, the Mongol Empire was always a big problem, which made him anxious and restless.

He had lost his patience and didn't want to waste effort on the new deal on Jiangnan East Road. He also didn't have time to waste.

Song Ci walked out and bowed.

"Your Majesty, in accordance with the law, all the criminals will be arrested, and the heavier ones will be punished according to the law. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the prison will be overcrowded. ”

Song Ci's words made Zhao Hong sneer.

Heads are rolling, overcrowded!

He just wants to kill chickens and monsters, and kill all these demons and monsters.

"Commander Hu, mobilize the students of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, mobilize the cavalry of the guards Ma Junsi, and immediately arrest all the criminals on Jiangnan East Road, and not let go of any of them. Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be killed! ”

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that there are at least five or six thousand people who have arrested all the criminals on Jiangnan East Road......"

Hu Mengyu's heart was beating and his eyes widened.

With so many arrests, I'm afraid the cell won't fit it.

"Your Majesty, killing the killer like this, I'm afraid it will really be a river of blood, which will damage Your Majesty's Shengming!"

Wang Gang's heart was beating wildly. The emperor was fierce, and if he did so, he would definitely leave a notoriety of murder in the history books.

"For the country and the people, eliminate evil according to law, I am doing the right way, and I care what bullshit history books are written?"

Zhao Hong said loudly, and everyone was shocked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen well, the law of the country is ruthless, and everything is based on the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. If we retreat today, why will we implement tomorrow's new deal? Killing officials and destroying offices is tantamount to rebellion. Do you really think that the law does not blame the public? Do you really think I'm going to give in? ”

Through the case of the Jingjie Law, the arrogance of the officials and eunuchs was severely attacked, so that everyone in the world knew that the law was strict, and no one dared to hinder the implementation of the new law.

Township bandits and town tyrants openly provoked, and officials were arrogant and powerful to help each other. Since they want to bring the new policy of the imperial court to an abrupt end. Let's see who has the last laugh.
