It costs money to do things, and it costs big things to do.

This is a truth that has remained unchanged throughout the ages.

Zong Ze first approached Jiangnan West Road, and all aspects needed a lot of money and grain to support him. When the support from the court was not in place, 200,000 guan was not a small amount.

But he doesn't like Li Yan and can't make this deal.

Li Yan left the Hongzhou Prefecture Grand Office and looked very bad.

Before Zong Ze arrived, he walked almost across the Jiangnan West Road.

Cai You hid aside, and Zhou Wentai was forced to remain silent by him. The others were either caught by him or just kept their own self-protection.

When Zong Ze comes, everything begins to change!

The people in the prison began to revise their confessions; some gentry and wealthy families agreed to have become hesitant; those who were originally dissatisfied with him are now even more eager to "put him to death"!

"Hmph, let's see!"

Li Yan sneered, got into the sedan chair and left here.

Big yamen.

Zhou Wentai accompanied Zong Ze for a walk and said, "Governor, then Li Yan is afraid he won't give up."

Zong Ze didn't care about Li Yan and said, "Don't worry about him. Such people will cross the line sooner or later. Once they cross the line, they will die. I am considering two things now. One is to rectify the officialdom and the other is money and grain. Li Yan reminded me that without money and grain, it is really difficult for us to gain a foothold on Jiangnan West Road. The support from the court will be at least half a month later, and we have to do this half month."

Zhou Wentai pondered and said, "The money and food matter is indeed a big trouble. I took over Hongzhou Prefecture and found that most of the treasury was empty. After checking, there were either water or burglaries when calling, or robbery on the road. Any strange thing could happen."

Zong Ze said: "It is necessary to investigate the treasury, but you cannot expect it. Jiangnan West Road will be tight for some time in the future."

Zhou Wentai looked at Zong Ze's calm side face and came over to knowingly.

Zong Ze wanted to use this series of means to take a look at the officialdom of Jiangnan West Road, choose the available people, and find a breakthrough at the same time.

"Now, the most important thing is to restructure the governor's yamen and gather power..."

"If someone stops it, just use those cases to beat it. The authority of the governor's yamen must be taken seriously..."

"Before I came, my grandfather told me clearly that this year, the court would not pay any money and food on Jiangnan West Road, and would allocate at least 10 million trumpens to support me in implementing the 'Shaosheng New Policy'..."

Zhou Wentai listened silently. He could feel Zong Ze's firmness from Zong Ze's words, and at the same time he understood more deeply that the people from the Political Affairs Hall were going to truly open the gap on Jiangnan West Road.

...

When I was sharpening my knife on Jiangnan West Road, the changes in Bianjing City were every day.

Zhao Xu held a meeting in Zichen Hall for three consecutive days, with edicts and mansions distributed to the whole country.

The first thing I received was naturally Kaifeng Prefecture at the foot of the emperor.

The formal edict, the government orders of the Political Affairs Hall, and the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture Cao Zheng quickly passed it down. It was a decisive and decisive act in Kaifeng Prefecture without any delay.

In Kaifeng City, many yamen that had never been before appeared.

Some people habitually went to the government office to do business, but were guided to other places.

For example, litigation, lawsuits, taxes, various registrations, etc.

When the imperial court held a meeting, the imperial department was not idle either.

The Political Affairs Hall issued many government decrees and reported to the whole country. These included the change of the era, the "Shaosheng New Deal", the "Great Song Dynasty Law", etc.

The Ministry of Rites disclosed the Ministry of Rites' powers and reform plans, promulgated many measures such as the "Shao Saints Ceremony" and the "New Imperial Examination Rules".

The Ministry of Personnel announced relatively many matters, from the entry of officials, transfer, supervision, dismissal, and even retirement, funerals, etc., new regulations have been made. The powers of the Ministry of Personnel have been clearly defined.

The Ministry of Works has taken another move. They listed the Ministry of Works' major plans for the next five years, which are very detailed and specific, even including personnel, salary, etc.

From another aspect, in addition to publicizing the reform plan, the Ministry of Justice emphasized the focus of cracking down on criminal acts such as "illegal, slandering the law, and resisting the law". It is necessary to establish a "investigator" surrounded by the center of Bianjing and the four capitals to eliminate all kinds of bandits in the country and ensure peace among all parties.

The Ministry of Revenue announced the most content, not only the reform of the Ministry of Revenue, but also the powers of the Ministry of Revenue and the policies that have been or will be implemented soon, with a variety of eighty items!

These are all big deals.

It involved land, taxes, household taxes, commercial taxes, etc. Almost all the reforms of the dynasty were related to the Ministry of Revenue!

The Ministry of War disclosed the least information, mainly involving the goal of strengthening the military with the "military reform". The specific details are vague.

In addition to the Political Affairs Hall and the Six Ministry, the most popular one is undoubtedly the Imperial College.

The Imperial College has disclosed a policy of "teaching but not distinguishing" to the public, striving to ensure that children of appropriate age in major prefectures and counties in the Song Dynasty can enter school and read and learn to read.

The reason why it attracted attention was not only because the Imperial College was ambitious to open hundreds of provincial prefectures and county schools funded by the imperial court, but the "treasury budget" obtained by the Imperial College - 1,200 million guan in three years!

Such large expenditures are second only to the major projects of the "work-for-relief" of the military and the Ministry of Works!

It was an unprecedented move for the imperial court to disclose government affairs. Kaifeng City was crowded with people every day, squeezing in front of various yamen. Everyone wanted to get close to take a look if they had nothing to do with them.

Every day, people stand in front and explain to those who are illiterate, word by word.

Due to different understandings, there are often quarrels or even fights.

Whenever I heard it was related to them, I would scream excitedly and run around and tell me.

Kaifeng City has been shrouded in this atmosphere for a long time.

Some people are happy, but naturally some people pour cold water on them.

"Don't be too happy too early. It's not the first time that the 'New Deal' has changed. Over the past hundred years, it's all back and forth?"

"Let's wait and see, the people like the 'New Party' will not be able to jump for long, and soon, they will be kicked out of the court again..."

"What kind of moral politics? Which one does not violate the ancestral system and reverse human ethics? Humph, sooner or later, you will have a good look!"

There were many troubles outside the palace, but the palace was as calm as a pond of spring water.

The first year of Shaosheng, on the 28th day of the first lunar month, Funing Hall.

Zhao Xuxiu lay on the soft couch and teased Brother Quan beside him.

Chen Pi stood aside and said respectfully: "There is still no news from the official family, Mr. Wang. But it can be confirmed that he should have been under house arrest by the Liao people."

Zhao Xu was mentally prepared, and said with a faint look: "Does the Liao army in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun have any abnormal movements?"

Chenpi said: "Yes, they seem to be gathering, and the Privy Council and the Ministry of War are paying close attention."

Zhao Xu didn't think the Liao people would choose to start the war this year, but he was careful not to make a big mistake and said, "Yes."

When Chen Pi saw this, she continued: "The Grand Prince has been presided over various meetings of the Political Affairs Hall recently, promulgating many policies and 'new laws', and there are some voices in the court and the public."

Chenpi said it very tactfully.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and smiled, saying, "My ears are almost deaf. By the way, Mr. Lin is heading south?"

Lin Xi, the chief political affairs officer, also served as the Minister of Personnel.

Chen Pi said: "Yes. Xianggong Lin planned to pass by many prefectures and go to Jiangnan West Road. It may take some time."

Zhao Xu reached out and pulled Quan Ge back to the edge of the soft collapse, saying, "Well. For support from Jiangnan West Road, you must be the most important thing, no one can delay it. You can let the Imperial City Department keep an eye on it. By the way, let Cai You come back."

One sentence, three things.

Chenpi paused for a moment and said, "Yes, the villain has recorded it."
