Zhao Xu actually wanted to say "third" because it involves land reform and there are too many sensitive issues. What he proposed was the two loudest voices that the government and the people shouted openly.

Su Shi continued, saying, "Officials, and I believe that the court must be benevolent in politics and arbitrary in promoting the country, which may lose the hearts of the people in the world. The court's original intention was good, but if it was not well implemented, it would cause turmoil across the country. I ask the officials to think twice."

What Su Shi said makes sense and has learned from the past. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, Wang Anshi implemented the "new law", but under various constraints, not only did he not have the expected effect, but he caused a big mess.

Wang Cun glanced at Su Shi and shook his head secretly: I don’t understand the officialdom.

It is not unreasonable that Su Shi was exiled to the most remote place like Zhanzhou for so many years.

The "Shaosheng New Policy" is vast and has become the general trend. No one can stop it. Su Shi was singing a counter-topic in front of the official family at this time. Zhang Dun and others knew that they might find another opportunity to send him away.

Zhao Xu was not surprised that Su Shi stood on those sides, looked at Wen Yanbo, and said, "Wenqing's family, what do you think?"

Wen Yanbo leaned on crutches and hunched over, saying, "Officials, this matter is something that the official says is reasonable and the mother is reasonable. After all, it is necessary to do it. He cannot know that there are disadvantages but refuse to change it."

Wen Yanbo said nonsense.

Zhao Xu stood there, looked at Wen Yanbo, glanced at Wang Cun again, suddenly looked at Meng Tang, and said, "Uncle Guo, what do you think?"

The uncle of the country is not Mu Gu or Meng Tang.

Meng Tang was shocked and did not dare to be careless. He bowed with Brother Quan, and was silent for a while before saying, "Officials, I believe that this matter is the same as the imperial examination. If the imperial examination is not changed, it seems to be fair to the scholars all over the world, but for the north and the Song Dynasty, it is unfair, unfair, unbalanced, dangerous to the court, and the country and society are stable. Most of the land is now in the hands of scholars, and the people have become tenants. It has worked hard for a year, but it is only enough to fill the stomach, let alone study, and pass the imperial examination, and enter the officialdom."

Meng Tang's words ended here.

He didn't dare to say it again, and he would offend someone else.

His meaning is very simple. If the status quo remains unchanged, it seems to be fair, but in fact it is fairness when scholars have absolute advantages, and it is an extreme exploitation for the people and poor families. This is unfair in itself. If this continues, the unbalance between the rich and the poor will be at a time when the situation changes and the world is turbulent.

Zhao Xu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Meng Tang to say these insightful words.

Empress Meng frowned. She didn't like Meng Tang to stand out.

Su Shi looked at Meng Tang and retorted: "The uncle of the country said that it was too much. Most of the courts were from poor families. Even I was not rich in family. My court was generous and had a wealthy scholar. I didn't need to exploit the people. The uncle of the country was so belittled and his scholars were too far-fetched."

Zhao Xu turned to Wang Cun and said, "Grandpa Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Xianggong.

Wang Cun keenly felt that some of his emotions were hidden in the name of the official.

Wang Cun hesitated and said: "The land annexation of the government is becoming increasingly serious, and there are people's displacement. It is understandable that the court does this as a benevolent government. It is not wrong for the gentry to buy land and hire people to farm. After weighing the two sides, I believe that there should be some compromise and not be too anxious. I worry that it will backfire and cause chaos, which will damage the sage virtue and make it difficult to deal with it."

Wang Cun's attitude softened, but he also insisted on his idea - objection.

"Okay, I understand what you guys think, so I'll give it a try."

After Zhao Xu finished eating the pastry, put the handkerchief back into Queen Meng's basket, clapped his hands and said, "In this way, clearing the land and registering the population is a matter of principle, and there is no room for bargaining. I am very pleased that your family can support you. Let's do two tasks first, and when these two things are completed, we will discuss it. The court's land purchase, which is calculated along the way, can be discussed again, and there is no need to worry. You guys, how is this good?"

Wang Cun and Su Shi seemed to suddenly realize that the government is here to do peace.

Wang Cun was still a little hesitant. Clearing the land and registering households was a sensitive issue. If they agreed, they would probably be scolded by Shilin.

But the official family has already stepped forward and has made a step back and they still refuse to give in, which makes them seem aggressive and ignore the face of the official family.

Su Shi felt it was feasible and raised his hand and said, "The official family is wise, I think this move is OK."

Wen Yanbo glanced at him, but didn't say anything, and his heart was bright.

The government did not do the peace. Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others pushed the plan so high. Perhaps they were just waiting for them to bargain. The government seemed to have made concessions, but in fact it was still within the plan of Zhang Dun and others.

Zhang Dun and others originally wanted to take fifty steps, but they claimed to be one hundred, and the officials were sixty or eighty. Where did they give in?

But Su Shi should do it, but Wang Cun could not remain silent and said, "I... think it's OK."

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, looked at Wen Yanbo, and said, "Wenqing's family?"

Wen Yanbo sighed in his heart. Wang Cun and Su Shi were far inferior to Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and others. They were neither capable nor cunning. No wonder the court situation was corrupted to this extent.

It’s not that Zhang Dun and others are so powerful, but these are really too unbearable.

Wen Yanbo kept thinking in his heart and said, "Official family, land measurement, household registration, are the subordinates of the ministers. Do you say that this job is fully in charge?"

Zhao Xu looked at Wen Yanbo deeply and said with a smile: "The Qing family requires full authority to take charge?"

Wen Yanbo's old face moved, changed his tone and said, "I am the assistant minister, and I am the main focus of the Political Affairs Hall. I hope that I can eliminate interference and concentrate on dealing with it. If there is some chaos, I ask the officials to forgive me first."

Wang Cun suddenly felt a little numb. The impulse he had just shown was far less sophisticated than Wen Yanbo.

Put the responsibility ahead. If something really happens, or if Wen Yanbo wants to do something privately, he has enough reason to block Zhang Dun and others’ words!

Zhao Xu couldn't hear it, and he pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give you this promise. What kind of chaos will happen in the future? I'll talk to the Grand Grand Master and others. Mr. Wen will act with his hands."

Wen Yanbo sighed even more in his heart.

He was in the trap, and this was the biggest he could win. Even so, it was actually under the calculations of this official.

It doesn’t matter what chaos will happen in the future. What’s important is that through the chaos, the officials and the court have reasons to make changes and take the opportunity to implement their ‘new policy’.

Seeing Wen Yanbo’s agreement, Zhao Xu clapped his hands and continued to walk forward, saying, “These things have been decided like this. What other things do you have? I hope that after the court break, the imperial meeting in Zichen Hall will be united and worked together. If we are not united and quarreled, the people below will be unable to do anything.”

Meng Tang followed behind with Brother Quan in his arms, and finally understood.

The government left the palace this time to convince these "old party" opposition parties, and it was not a coincidence with Mr. Su.

Wen Yanbo, Wang Cun, and Su Shi are the three largest opposition parties in the court at present. As long as they agree or do not speak out, the court will be "unified".
