Back in the study room of Funing Hall, Zhao Xu ordered people to open the doors and windows. Then he sat in front of the desk and picked up Shi Deyi's report to the Investigation Office's soldiers investigated, visited and found out about the situation of these counties and towns in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Nearly ten days have passed since Zhao Xu issued an edict to exempt taxes from Kaifeng Prefecture.

Kaifeng Prefecture posted the official announcement and Zhao Xu's decree to all the county government offices and towns in its jurisdiction.

According to the report of the Lotus, in the days when the government orders and decrees were issued, the clerks from all over the country were indeed much more at peace.

Some people even really carried out the government's orders.

But…soon, things began to change.

First, some less critical counties and clerks in the town began to find excuses and reasons, and reached out to merchants to get some money.

When they found out that these merchants dared not speak out, and the government seemed to care.

These people are starting to grow courageous!

Their behavior gradually became presumptuous.

Now, the Investigation Department reported that there were already local clerks in the Kaifeng Prefecture Realm, and they had re-set the card.

This is easy to understand!

The world is big, the most important thing to eat.

By relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat the water, the clerks in each town naturally rely on local tax cards to live.

Blackmail and blackmail dealers are their biggest source of income.

With this input, these people have been eating fat.

Now, the court wants them to stop with an order?

How is that possible!?

They will definitely try their best to sing against the court!

Therefore, these are all in Zhao Xu's imagination.

But the most interesting thing in the report of the Discovery Department is not these contents.

It is the reaction of Kaifeng Prefecture, led by Cai Jing.

There was no response!

In the past few days, some merchants have sued the government.

When local governments received the complaint, they did not dare to neglect them and reported to Kaifeng Prefecture for requests and instructions.

And Cai Jing was like not seeing those reports.

This is so interesting!

Zhao Xu licked his tongue.

"It seems that Cai Jing doesn't want to give these clerks a way out!" Zhao Xu said softly.

There is a modern proverb: If God wants to destroy it, he must first make him crazy.

The military strategy says: If you want to take it first, you must give it first!

Zhao Xu recalled Cai Jing's behavior in front of him just now. What he knew was that Cai Jing was probably doing such a thing.

Putting down the report in his hand, Zhao Xu turned his head and told Feng Jing: "Feng Jing, go and ask Shi Deyi and check whether Kaifeng Prefecture has held a large number of public examinations and recruited..."

As the Longfei List imperial examination in the third year of Yuanyou approached, tribute students from all over the world and those who had not passed the exam could only venture into Beijing to try their luck and see if they could be appreciated by big figures, from all over the world to Beijing.

Students in Bianjing City are becoming increasingly popular.

In contrast, the rent is naturally rising!

Make money in the store and housekeeping business!

Most scholars are actually not rich people.

What's more, they traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, even if they had money, they couldn't bring much.

Therefore, these people who enter Beijing to prepare for the exam in advance must first think about how to support their own affairs after entering Beijing.

In order to have a place to live, to have three meals a day.

These people will have no choice.

In order to stay in Bianjing City, they were willing to do anything.

Let alone take the civil service exam.

In the past, some scholars even survived by serving as followers in Bianjing City.

And these people are the best cards Cai Jing is now!

"No!" Feng Jing took the order and left.

...

Cai Jing rode his horse and surrounded by Yuan accompanying him, and returned to the Kaifeng Prefecture Office.

His close confidant Zhou Bangyan was already in the government office with his men, and the order hall, who was exclusively the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, who had discussed affairs after the retreat of the government office.

Zhou Bangyan is a Tai student and the leader of Tai student. Now he is the Tai Xue Zheng in Tai Xue.

But starting this year, he has been in the Imperial Academy less and less.

Because he climbed Cai Jing's thigh!

To be precise, he was not the thigh that he had just held Cai Jing this year.

As early as the sixth year of Yuanfeng, he was already appreciated by Cai Jing. At that time, Zhou Bangyan wrote the famous "Fu of Bian Jing".

The late emperor was overjoyed when he saw this and personally summoned him to him and ordered people to recite the "Fu of Bian Jing" he wrote in the capital.

During this process, Zhou Bangyan met many people, including Cai Jing.

When the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the late emperor passed away and the new king ascended the throne, Cai Jing entered the core circle of the new king and was reused.

Zhou Bangyan began to approach Cai Jing deliberately, and Cai Jing also liked him very much, often met him and chatted with him.

Zhou Bangyan was overjoyed, so he often went to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Since last year, after the emperor came to the Imperial Academy, Lu Dian, who was in charge of the Imperial Academy, began to advocate that Tai students should participate more in politics, encourage the superiors of Tai students to sacrifice their lives, and actively observe politics with officials.

At the beginning of this year, Zhou Bangyan took the opportunity to come to Cai Jing in the name of observing politics.

"How about the saint who came to the palace in Mingfu?" After entering the order hall, Zhou Bangyan closed the doors and windows, and then bowed and asked.

Cai Jing sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "The Lord is already a sage of sages and words. He is the commander of Deyin, and I will be allowed to act cheaply!"

Thinking back on all the things in the palace, Cai Jing couldn't help but feel deeply moved in his heart.

Although the young master is young, his cunning and thoughtfulness are not inferior to an adult monarch, and in some aspects, he is even more unpredictable than an adult monarch.

Fortunately, he always does what he says.

After hearing this, Zhou Bangyan said happily: "Congratulations to Mingfu!"

"With the young master's moral voice as his order, there will be no more troubles in the Ming Mansion!"

Cai Jing nodded: "Good!"

"Micheng can be launched slowly as previously deployed!"

Cai Jing raised his head and looked righteous: "This time, I and Meicheng should sweep away the Kaifeng Prefecture Shen Ke!"

"There is a man of Kaifeng people! "

"It's even more fair for good and law-abiding merchants!"

As he said this, Cai Jing was full of passion!

He was even imagining that after the success of this matter, the people praised him, and both inside and outside Kaifeng Prefecture compared him to a scene where he was a clean official and a parent official like Bao Xiaosu!

This made him soaring!

It also makes him immersed in it and unable to extricate himself!

He recalled that after he made every effort to promote the Mulanpo project, public opinion and the people praised him.

That was the highlight of his life!

It is also the wonderful years he is still savoring the past!

Zhou Bangyan looked at Cai Jing's appearance and bowed without hesitation: "Students should obey the orders of Mingfu!"
Chapter completed!
