The bandit suppression on Poyang Lake continues.

Zhao Si and others did not rush to leave. They adhered to the principle of eliminating evil and eliminated the bandits to the lowest possible extent.

The rest need to be concluded along the lake and comforted the prefectures to ensure that the bandits will not return and the spring breeze will arise again.

Li Yan is back.

He had no depressed expression and was sincerely pleading guilty to Zhao Si.

"The villain is not doing well, so he ran away the bandits and asked Your Highness to punish him severely." Li Yan knelt in front of Zhao Si and slumped on the ground to apologize.

Zhao Si sat, looking at the 'war reports' coming from everywhere in his hand, and said, "Get up."

Li Yan stood up, raised his hand to greet him, and stood respectfully aside.

Li Yan glanced at Zhu Xie on the side. He already knew that Zhu Xie had been promoted, his face was calm, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Zhu Xie smiled and looked comforted by his unawareness.

Li Yan seemed to have not received it, standing aside, thinking about the opportunity to speak in his heart.

Wang Tieqin's escape made all Li Yan's plans fail. Not only did he lose his merits, but he was guilty.

Tong Guan and Li Kui stood beside Zhao Si, holding various documents in their hands.

Li Kui said: "Your Highness, at present, with Hongzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture and Ganzhou Prefecture as the center, expanding around the surrounding area. At the same time, strengthening the blockade of the entire territory to ensure that all bandits are closed and beat dogs will not be let go."

Zhao Si frowned, looked at Li Kui, and said, "I heard that the people on Jiangnan West Road have complained recently?"

Li Kui nodded and said, "It's a little trouble."

The entire territory is not without a price. It seems to have blocked the bandits' escape, but in fact it also traps the people.

For the people today, the problem is actually not big. Unless they are extremely poor, there will be some surplus food in early spring.

But after all, blockade is a blockade. All kinds of inconveniences will continue to deepen with the impact of the entire Jiangnan West Road.

In particular, the forces opposing reforms tried hard at the inside and outside to severely criticize the ban on Jiangnan West Road and obtain various evidence.

Not only is it because of Jiangnan West Road, there are many difficulties, but the opposition is gradually rising, and the open and secret struggles in the capital are becoming increasingly fierce.

Zhao Si glanced at Li Kui, then looked at Tong Guan, and said, "Can it be solved within three months?"

Tong Guan smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, your highness, three months are more than enough."

Zhao Si nodded and said, "I'll tell you one more thing. At the end of the year, the east and west routes of Jiangnan will merge."

Li Kui was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, isn't it Jingzhou South Road?"

The imperial court has always been inclined to merge Jingzhou South Road and Jiangnan West Road, and Lin Xi even went to Jingzhou South Road for inspection before.

Zhao Si said: "I don't know, that's what the letter I received said."

Li Kui heard this, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

Logically speaking, there is no problem with such a merger, because the east and west routes of Jiangnan were split out one by one, and it was normal to go back together.

But in terms of geographical location, it is better to merge Jiangnan West Road and Jingzhou South Road. At least, the location of Nandaying in Jiangnan will be a key position in the abdomen and key position. It can play a sufficient foundation role, shock and stabilize the country and country of Song Dynasty.

Li Yan and Zhu Xie didn't think so much. They were thinking about the word "credit".

Li Yan doesn't care whether he merges or not, what he cares about is when he will win back his credit and face.

Zhu Jie was even more excited, and his expression could no longer be concealed.

The merged Jiangnan West Road must be a big road with many prefectures and counties, which means that he has more people, greater power and higher status!

This is a kind of rise and the boat is rising, and it will be easier for him to climb up.

"Tomorrow, I will return to Nanchang County." Zhao Si put down the official documents in his hand and looked at Li Kui and said.

Li Kui restrained his thoughts and said, "Yes."

Zhao Si was on Jiangnan West Road and brought some palace guards, but not many, and the bandit suppression was mainly based on Li Kui.

At this stage, Zhu Xie’s inspection department is also under the jurisdiction of Li Kui, not to mention the Governor’s Office and Nandaying.

Zhu Xie and Li Yan both looked slightly moved. They knew that Poyang Lake had come to an end and that the curtain would be officially opened for the suppression of bandits on Quanjiangnan West Road.

Jiangnan West Road is not big, but there are more than a dozen prefectures and dozens of counties. It seems to be peaceful and sound, but in fact there are bandits everywhere, and even some larger ones can plunder prefectures and counties.

It's time to win the credit!

Li Yan and Zhu Xie did not look at each other, but this sentence appeared in their hearts, treating each other as their biggest competitor.

Another day later, Zhao Si, Li Kui and others finished the fight against bandits in Poyang Lake and sent a document to all prefectures and counties along the lake, ordering them to keep a close eye on them and remove the fish that had leaked the net.

When Zhao Si returned to Nanchang County, Zong Ze and others were already waiting.

Zong Ze has been busier than Zhao Si and others recently. He is making every effort to promote the institutional reform of Jiangnan West Road and strengthen the concentration of power. This is a necessary condition for the success of the "Shaosheng New Deal".

There were only three people in the main hall.

Zhao Si, Li Kui, Zong Ze.

Zong Ze sat on Zhao Si's right hand, and he said to Zhao Si: "Your Highness, at present, all prefectures, prefectures and counties have been strictly controlled, and all yamen are already being built. In some days, it will be useful."

Zhao Si sat upright and looked at Zong Ze and said, "This year's Enko is about to begin."

Zong Ze paused, then reacted and said, "Yes, the officials will settle as soon as possible to ensure that the Jiangnan West Road is calm and will not cause trouble to the court or the government."

Zhao Si looked at him seriously and said, "What I said is that after Enko, many scholars will be sent here."

Zong Ze did not expect this level and quickly raised his hand and said, "The official understands."

Zhao Si looked at Li Kui again and said, "Suppressing bandits is the top priority and cannot be delayed. If Li Yan encounters another situation, you can force yourself to enter the village."

Li Kui was stunned, then bowed and said, "Yes, the official understands."

He did understand. These words were not what the little prince said, either from the political affairs hall or from the palace officials.

Zhao Si turned to Zong Ze again and said, "After the case was concluded by Nandali Temple, the governor's yamen can use his authority to transfer uncooperative people to Qiongzhou Prefecture. The Ministry of Personnel will give you convenience to Jiangnan West Road."

"Yes." Zong Ze responded calmly.

Obviously, Jingli was a little impatient and urged him to speed up his movements.

‘The pressure in the capital is not smaller than mine, is it?’ Zong Ze thought silently in his heart. Although he had not been in the capital for a long time, he knew how cruel the court's fierce fighting was.

Zhao Si turned to look at Li Kui again and said, "Suppressing bandits is important, and Nandaying is even more important. Nandaying is the cornerstone of Jiangnan and must be as stable as Mount Tai. All recruitment, training, and establishment must be strictly followed by the requirements of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. After the construction of Nandaying will be temporarily handed over to Tong Guan."

Li Kui and Zong Ze were both a little surprised, but their faces remained unmoved.
