Outside the Guanjia Palace, there is an idyllic scene.

Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian gathered around the table of the Eight Immortals, waiting for Zhao Jun to come over.

On the table are melon seeds, pastries, fruits, and a few cups of tea.

Zhao Jun came, walked a few meters away from them, looked around at everyone, and did not speak.

"Big grandson, come and sit down."

Zhao Zhen happily beckoned and motioned for him to sit beside him.

"Xie Guan's family."

Zhao Jun bowed and walked over to sit down.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and others were silent.

There was silence again.

If no one starts, naturally no one will break the embarrassment.

Even Zhao Zhen did not relieve his prime minister.

After all, for him, he actually didn't want to see Lu Yijian and Zhao Jun holding hands.

But he also doesn't want to see the two sides on the same page.

If Zhao Jun eradicates all these people in the future, won't Zhao Jun cover the sky with all the things in the court?

Therefore, what he hopes more is that the two sides will cooperate, but they will not be of the same mind.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Yan Shu hurriedly sat down and said, "Just now Zhao Jun wrote a poem "Linjiang Immortal", which is really a good word. ”

"Oh?"

And when all the people were writing their words, one asked, "Tell me about it." ”

Yan Shu recited "Linjiang Immortal" again, and then said unsatisfactorily: "This poem is really majestic, although it is a little gloomy in its twilight years, but it looks down on life and has a broad mind." ”

"Good words indeed."

After hearing this, Lu Yijian said with a smile: "It's just that if this word is written at my age, it's normal, Jun Boy is only in his twenties, how can he be white-haired and fisherman, and he is used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze?" ”

"Jun boy, where did you copy it?"

Wang Zeng said with a smile.

They obviously wanted to make a joke and liven up the atmosphere.

However, Zhao Jun smiled and did not speak.

According to the previous character, it must be back to the past, and then the two sides are bickering.

Let's play haha like this, the previous things are revealed, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

But now I feel that many things are not interesting, and it is better to do more practical things with these people.

If Zhao Zhen hadn't suddenly called him over this time, he would have planned to use a month to seriously weaken the strength of the underground underworld forces on the ground, and then slowly clear and encircle.

I'm waiting for these things to be on the right track, and after I have the charter, I will set off for field trips to all parts of the country at the end of October or November this year.

This is done firstly to understand the current grassroots situation in the Great Song Dynasty, and secondly, it is also to grasp everything clearly and comprehensively before making plans.

Not only the grassroots issues, but also the problems of coal mines, iron mines, and local construction in various places to figure out, and maybe even send people to the sea to understand the situation in neighboring countries, and then carry out the next plan.

In fact, according to the country's development, it is impossible for the people in power of the country to go to every corner of the country, and the best way is to establish supervision organs throughout the country, as Zhu Yuanzhang did, or set up statistical bureaus to collect data from all over the country, as later generations did.

But Zhao Jun has not become the ruler of the Great Song Dynasty now, and the most important thing is that he has not yet penetrated into the people of the Great Song Dynasty to understand the suffering. Even the tip of the iceberg has not yet been seen, so it will naturally take a few years to explore.

So going out for a walk is a given.

Everyone had a little headache when they saw that Zhao Jun was not on the same page, and they had already confessed to Zhao Zhen that they were willing to lead the entire scholar class to help the official family and Zhao Jun to build a better future for the Great Song Dynasty.

But Zhao Jun seems to have a hard time, so how can it be good?

Zhao Zhen saw that Zhao Jun really didn't want to deal with people, so he poured a cup of tea for Zhao Jun with a smile and said, "Eldest grandson, this word is really well written." ”

Zhao Jun reluctantly said, "Copy." ”

"Even if it's copied, it's a word that will only exist in the future, and if you write it now, it's you."

Zhao Zhen made a round, and then said: "Having said that, you have also rectified Kaifeng Mansion recently, and the security in Bianliang City is much better than before, what are you going to do next?" ”

Zhao Jun thought about it, and then talked about the three-step method of fighting the enemy that he discussed with Fan Zhongyan today, and said at the end: "If an empire wants to be stable and long-lasting, public security is the most basic thing. In later generations, our country swept away the underworld and eliminated evil forces every few years, cutting off a large number of underworld and evil forces that caused social turmoil, so that the common people could live a safe and healthy life without worrying about being beaten, stolen, robbed or even killed when they went out. ”

"This has an immeasurable role in the stability and development of society. Because the law and order are good, people dare to go out shopping, and they can eat barbecue outside and go to bars at any time in the middle of the night. Businessmen who do small commodity business can come out to do business with confidence and boldness, and do not have to be afraid of being charged protection money and smashed their stalls and stores. ”

"Twenty-four hours can ensure the operation of commerce, which can greatly promote consumption and economic circulation. In addition, it also makes foreign investors satisfied with the domestic investment environment, so that they are willing to bring more advanced production methods into the country, directly drive the economy, and indirectly drive the upgrading of domestic industries. ”

"At that time, the refugee problem in Western countries had a serious impact on public security, and the US imperialists still had zero yuan purchases, which led to the decline of the small commodity economy in Western countries. Shops were smashed and looted, and many store owners were forced to close their doors. ”

"Only our country is still strong in this regard, even after the epidemic, it is still able to maintain a retrograde economic growth, thanks to good law and order and a heavy-handed attitude towards criminals."

"Although the Great Song Dynasty cannot be compared with later generations, if you want to carry out the industrial revolution, you need a large number of working people to participate. At the beginning of the 16th century, London's population was only a few tens of thousands. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the total population of Britain was only 10 million or 20 million, while the population of London reached 2 million. ”

"Bianliang is in the stage where capital can sprout, but it has not yet sprouted, and if the official urges it, it may be able to form an industrial revolution. However, a large population will inevitably be accompanied by problems such as deterioration of public order and a poor business environment, which will seriously hinder the country's development. ”

After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he thought about it and added: "So if you want internal stability, there must be cleaning measures." This time, if the underground gangsters can be completely destroyed, the official must increase efforts to renovate and repair the underground sewer pipes, consolidate the floods, and at the same time, prevent the recurrence of things such as Sanssouci Cave and Ghost Fan Tower. ”

The end of the speech shocked everyone present.

What shocked them was not that Zhao Jun said that this social security would help the country and promote the development of society, but that they were shocked by Zhao Jun's means to deal with those underground forces.

At the beginning, everyone calculated Zhao Jun, but in fact, one thing is still true, that is, Zhao Jun is just a young man in his twenties after all.

If the authority of the state is handed over to him from the beginning, even if he comes from the next generation and knows a lot of things, theory is theory, and practice is practice.

Just because he knows a lot of things, he can't be easily put into action.

Before Ma Tan was in the street pavilion, he was still Ji Han's top strategist, and even Zhuge Liang had to ask him for advice, what was the result?

Therefore, although Lu Yijian persuaded Zhao Zhen to let Zhao Junke be promoted to the office, first, they hoped to assimilate him and turn him into a bureaucratic and doctor class. Second, I also hope to sharpen Zhao Jun and turn his theoretical knowledge into practice.

Zhao Zhen was moved by what they said, and naturally agreed to them based on this consideration, so that Zhao Jun could first become an official and accumulate practical experience, and then carry out reforms.

And Zhao Jun agreed to it without thinking about it at that time, in fact, he was also moved by this reason.

After all, the reason is right.

However, what people didn't expect was that Zhao Jun had only been wandering in Bianliang for a few months, and he had already had preliminary practical results.

not only swept away the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Kaifeng Mansion by thunderous means, but also cleaned up the moths inside the Imperial City Division, so that the entire Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City Division were completely renewed.

The performance of all kinds of abilities has made Lu Yi Jian Wang Zeng think that Zhao Jun does have that kind of talent, and they really have nothing to do with Zhao Jun, so they chose to join if they couldn't beat him.

Originally, he thought that relying on their abilities, even if Zhao Jun was in power, they could use the qualifications and experience of their predecessors to assist him, further deepen his influence on Zhao Jun, and subtly make him have reservations about the scholar class.

But he didn't expect Zhao Jun's methods against the underground underworld forces to be powerful later.

You must know that the evil forces such as Sanssouci Cave and Ghost Fan Lou have not wanted to be eliminated in Kaifeng Mansion for generations.

After all, they can corrupt the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, but it is difficult to have any impact on the officials of the Mansion Yin and the General Judgment who have worked for a year or two at most, and a month or two at the least.

Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng both wanted to kill them.

But these people are like Bianliang's stubborn disease, at most they have greatly damaged their vitality, but they cannot be eradicated.

But Zhao Jun's method is to treat both the symptoms and the root cause, calculating from the people's hearts, internal responses, and even floods, pulling out the forces of the underground gangsters rooted in the people layer by layer, and then disintegrating them from the inside, it is estimated that the first two moves alone can destroy at least seven seven or eight of the following.

In the end, I only need to wait for an opportunity, the flood will pour in, force the people below to come out, and then use the power of the government to rush in, I am afraid that these evil elements entrenched in Bianliang will soon be able to cut off these evil elements entrenched in the underground of Bianliang.

It's a good means.

After listening to Zhao Jun's words, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and others were secretly frightened.

If Zhao Jun only showed superb theoretical knowledge in the past, now he has solidly proved that he has such a talent for governing the country and securing the country.

"Official, this method is really exquisite, Sanssouci Cave, Ghost Fan Tower and other scourges have plagued the people of Bianliang for a long time, but they are deeply involved in the people, even if the government wants to eradicate them, it is difficult to do anything. If it is really according to what Jun Boy said, this is the first way to stop them from the people. ”

"Yes, the people are afraid of these people, and they will not dare to do anything at first. Gradually, the people will be more and more full of hatred for them, and when the time comes, it will inevitably make the people report enthusiastically, so that they have nothing to hide. ”

"As long as the people on the ground are cleared first, the rest of the people are all hidden back underground, and it is easier to deal with them slowly. This strategy, Jun boy, you should have the talent of a countryman! ”

After hearing this, many ministers couldn't help but sigh.

The cancer under Bianliang has been rooted for a long time, but they are doing nothing, which is a kind of irony in itself.

As a result, not long after Zhao Jun came, he knocked out the protective umbrella of Kaifeng Mansion, dug deep into the underground underworld forces, and even customized such a special method to wipe out those people.

This is even more ironic.

Listening to everyone's praise, Zhao Jun just smiled and didn't speak.

Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "It really deserves to be the good eldest grandson of my Zhao family, and the Great Song Dynasty has my eldest grandson, and he will be able to prosper." Having said that, after the evil forces of Bianliang are swept away, what are the plans of the eldest grandson? ”

Zhao Jun said without hesitation: "Of course, I went to all parts of the country to take a look and go deep into the grassroots to understand the situation, unlike some people who are high above and self-righteous." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at each other, making them look a little embarrassed.

"This."

Zhao Zhen hesitated and said: "Can the eldest grandson not leave Bianliang, if there is no eldest grandson by my side, I will feel uneasy." ”

Zhao Jun frowned and said: "This is what I said at the beginning, and I really want to go to the people to see the situation." Governing the country is like healing the sick, only by knowing where the problem is, can we find a solution, right? ”

"Yes, yes."

Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Yijian and them.

Today, Lu Yijian and the others came to Zhao Zhen, and they also persuaded Zhao Zhen, hoping to establish a department that coordinates the whole country and let Zhao Jun take charge, so as to promote the great cause of reform.

In this way, things all over the world will be piled up in front of Zhao Jun, all kinds of complicated affairs, Zhao Jun may not have so much energy to deal with the scholar doctor in the future.

But now it seems that Zhao Jun has a plan for the future, he is a person with firm execution and ideas, if Zhao Zhen alone depends on himself, I am afraid he may not be able to convince the other party.

I saw Lu Yijian cough twice and said, "Jun boy." ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Jun looked at Lu Yijian.

Lu Yijian said without blushing and without a heartbeat: "Actually, you are wrong to blame us, I hoped that you would be admitted to the imperial examination, which was also a test for you." ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Jun said with interest: "I would like to hear about it." ”

"You also know that every move of national affairs has a far-reaching and extensive impact, and if you had been an experienced official when you first came, we would have gladly let you take power, but you are just a young man who has just graduated from school, who would dare to entrust you with national affairs immediately?"

Lu Yijian touched the white beard on his chin and said: "Zhao Kuo's father is not proficient, but he likes to talk lightly and sharply, and he has a long peace battle, and he has pity for 400,000 people. Ma Tan and the way of scheming, even Zhuge had to ask him, and the street pavilion was lost, and the Shu State lost its soldiers. I'm a little worried that you can't afford the heavy responsibility, so it's reasonable to test it first and see what you're capable of. ”

Although later generations often say that Zhao Kuo is a capable and handsome talent, it is a pity that he met Bai Qi just after he came out of the mountain, judging from his deeds, it may be true.

However, successive dynasties often judge heroes by success or failure, so the evaluation of ancient historical celebrities is relatively average. For example, Ouyang Xiu's "On the Difficulty of Being a King" said that he "could not use false talk", and Liu Sanwu of the Ming Dynasty said that he "only had southern Hunan in Hubei, and the government and the opposition still boasted of soldiers on paper".

Therefore, Lu Yijian used Zhao Kuo and Ma Jian to demonstrate the harm of only theory and not practice, so as to tell Zhao Jun. They didn't want Zhao Jun to do big things immediately when he left the mountain, but they hoped that Zhao Jun would accumulate practical experience before he could enter the officialdom and join the ranks, which was also the main reason why they had always let Zhao Jun take the imperial examination.

Zhao Jun didn't refute when he heard it, just nodded and said, "Oh, yes? ”

"yes."

Lu Yijian spread his hands and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"Well, well, it's not wrong."

Zhao Jun asked rhetorically: "What about now?" Do you think I already have the talent to do things? ”

"Of course!"

Lu Yijian pointed at Zhao Jun and said seriously: "You have passed the test, we all think that you have great talent, so we suggested to the official family, hoping to establish a new department to coordinate the Great Song Dynasty, and all the other government offices will be dispatched by this department, and you will be in charge of this department, how about it?" ”

Zhao Jun didn't agree immediately, but looked at Lu Yijian, just looking at it with a smile.

The crowd did not speak, but continued to look at him.

The two sides looked at each other.

After a while, Zhao Jun laughed.

Laughing.

The smile is unbridled.

You guys.

So soon, it's time to beg me.

I thought you could hold on a little longer and give me a reason to do it in the future.

Unexpectedly.

In just a few months, it is not much stronger than France.

Alas.

The scholar class is indeed weak.

It's boring.

Zhao Jun shook his head, and suddenly felt that it was not interesting.
