Zhao Xu said, holding an apple in his hand and threw it to Li Ke, saying, "Now, there are not many people who can concentrate on observing and understand the real lives of the people. Although Zhao Tian's memorial was a bit extreme, the gentry and wealthy families were all full of minds and were indisputable in the illusory prosperity."

Li Ke finished the apple, but did not dare to eat it, and acted as a statement to listen to the Hadith.

Zhao Xu took a bite and said, "If I want to enrich the people and strengthen the country in the Song Dynasty, I cannot stick to the ancestral system. What left by my ancestors more than a hundred years ago cannot protect my Song Dynasty for generations, so reform is a matter of being the only one. The abolition of the new law after Yuanyou was a big mistake. The essence of governing the country by relying on the books of sages is the same as governing the country by relying on the ancestral system. Drawing the land into a prison."

Li Ke looked serious and his brows frowned and relaxed.

He was complicated inside and could not fully recognize Zhao Xu's words, and knew that Zhao Xu's words were reasonable. He understood the importance of the ancestral system and his belief in Confucianism, and at the same time, he knew that these problems were incompatible with many things today.

He could understand the original intention and purpose of the reform, but did not agree with most of the reform policies of the court.

This complex and contradictory mentality is not Li Ke alone.

Su Song and Su Shi in the court should be similar.

Zhao Xu did not force Li Ke to eat apples and shake his legs, and he was not like an emperor at all. He continued, "These are just conversations between our monarch and ministers. Just be sure to know them. I have been in the palace since I was a child, and I may not see much as you. But the huge treasury income of my Song Dynasty is an extremely abnormal phenomenon. It has not been in ancient times, and it has not been in the past, and it is probably not in the next few hundred years."

Zhao Xu lay halfway down and said, "My Song Dynasty's bad policies are all-round. It is a complex and systematic project to remove them completely. Not to mention three to five years, it can't be done in ten or eight years, at least twenty years. The Grand Master and others are indeed too anxious. This is something I deliberately suppressed, otherwise their speed will be so fast that you can't believe it."

Li Ke's expression moved and did not dare to answer the conversation.

In fact, the news that the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall strive to "fully implement the new Shaosheng policy" has long been spread throughout the court and the public. For a long time, everyone has believed that it was the stop of Wang Cun, Wen Yanbo, Su Song and others. Li Ke did not expect that it would be the official in front of him.

He gradually realized that the young official in front of him had more calm and wise thinking.

Being under the influence of powerful officials and being held in the world is just the imagination of people who are unknown outside. What really promotes the reform is actually the official!

Zhao Xu looked up and glanced at Meng Tang, saying, "Okay, there is no need to go again. Your little face is not enough. Let's talk about it again. If you walk too much, you will easily reveal me."

Meng Tang was somewhat unwilling to give up and said, "Yes."

Zhao Xu looked at the semicolon again and said, "Li Ke, you will impeach the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture. Don't write too much, just list some things. Let the fleet be ready and leave tonight. Will the cavalry arrive?"

Li Ke and Meng Tang responded silently.

Hu Zhongwei said: "The official family has arrived. It was led by General Manager Chu himself, with a total of 5,000 people."

If Zhao Xu wants to go south, the fleet will not be safe enough. He needs an army to escort, so the cavalry is the most suitable.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Transfer the order to let him lead the way first, try to keep a low profile."

"Yes." Hu Zhongwei responded.

Zhao Xu stretched and said, "Let's do it today. I'll take a break and let's leave tonight."

"Abide by the order." A group of people responded and slowly retreated.

After they left, Zhao Xu picked up the secret letter from Ge Linjia, the governor of Fuzhou Prefecture.

This letter went directly to Da Nei, turned to the imperial carriage, and then to Zhao Xu. No one had read it in the middle.

Ge Lin's description of the various situations in Jiangnan West Road is more detailed, including records and descriptions of Zong Ze, Zhou Wentai and others, and implicitly criticized their hesitation and weakness in the process of implementing the "New Deal", believing that their delays led to frequent vicious incidents on Jiangnan West Road.

Zhao Xu has read it twice, but is still watching it, thinking more in his heart.

Ge Linjia's letter was emotional, but he did not add too much fuel to the fire, and basically participated in the truth.

After a long time, Zhao Xu let go and said thoughtfully: "It's not enough to be impatient, it's not enough to be slow. This rhythm is really hard to grasp..."

When Zhao Xu was feeling the mood, the situation on Jiangnan West Road became more and more chaotic.

Various violent institutions, on the grounds that "bandits destroyed the bridges of official roads and had ulterior motives and should be severely punished", carried out vigorous rectification in Fuzhou Prefecture, and many gentry who were solemn and had rich family property, and were well-known were liquidated.

On the way to Qiongzhou Prefecture, there were army escorts, and thousands of people were escorted through the prefecture.

Along the way, I don’t know how many people were killed because of escape, how many people died of illness and starved to death. The escorted officials were extremely vicious and had no human touch at all.

No matter how high the official you have been, how high the reputation you have, how many relationships you have, how big the house you have, how many acres of land, how much money and how much grain you have, it is useless here.

In just half a month, thousands of people were exiled from Hongzhou Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture!

This is the reason why those servants and those who have not killed too many relatives, otherwise this number would have been dozens of times!

This situation continues.

Fuzhou Prefecture and Hongzhou Prefecture have been under martial law, and not many people can travel freely. There are officials, yamen runners, the chasing inspection department, and the Nanhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee.

Hongzhou Prefecture, Governor's Office.

Zhou Wentai, Liu Zhi leaned his face as deep as water, and he had several letters in his hand.

Zong Ze did not look at it, he said with no expression on his face, "I already know."

Zhou Wentai was stunned and said, "The governor already knows?"

Zong Ze said lightly: "I have noticed someone leaking the news for a long time, so I tried it."

Zhou Wentai and Liu Zhiyi looked at each other, although surprised, it was not surprising.

They could notice something, but Zong Ze had no reason and was completely unaware of it. It was not surprising that he could just take a silence and test it out.

"Then, what should I do?" Zhou Wentai said.

Lai Hongbo is a local faction, and Zong Ze divided the local faction in order to win over it. However, he did not expect that he would inform the local faction and provide advice. In a series of things in Hongzhou Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture, he played a role in centering and even planning.

Zong Ze said: "Although I am a plenipotentiary minister, to deal with him, the consent of the Ministry of Personnel must be locked up in the governor's office, prohibit him from contacting the outside world, and wait for the court's intention."

Zhou Wentai and Liu Zhiyi agreed with this practice. Zhou Wentai said: "Then let this happen for the time being. The government has left Beijing and is expected to go to Jiangnan West Road in September. We have to speed up and not let the official account see the current situation."

Zong Ze said with a blank expression: "I heard that Zhu Xie and Li Yan have done a little too much recently, such as killing people, raiding their homes, torture and urging confessions, and corruption and bribery, are they already blatant?"
