Seeing Shen Kuo so happy, Zhao Xu laughed secretly, thinking about how to stuff his private goods into it quietly.

With the signatures of Shen Kuo and Su Song, Zhao Xu can completely push forward the technological progress of the Song Dynasty in some aspects!

Zhao Xu looked at Shen Kuo, smiled and said casually: "However, these things will definitely face resistance. The Chen Qing family should know that the imperial examination incident has been very riots recently..."

Shen Kuo looked up violently, quickly raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Officials, this matter is written, and the world is revealed. They want to fight and kill. Even if they come to the weak minister, they will never implicate the holy name of the official family..."

Zhao Xu was satisfied, but said, "I won't blame him. Let him come if he should come. Besides, I'm afraid the Chen Qing family can't bear it. By the way, we monarch and ministers know these words for the time being. After all, the Imperial College has not been built yet..."

"Yes, I understand." Shen Kuo responded with a solemn expression, thinking in his heart how to write that memorial.

As a former "new party", Shen Kuo retired for many years and could still clearly remember the fierceness of the party struggles. No matter how big or important the matter is, it will become each other's weapons!

Zhao Xu and Shen Kuo and the king and minister walked with their own thoughts.

It's afternoon.

Yangwu County.

The county magistrate of Yangwu County, Li Bozhi, inspector of the Inspection Department, and Lin Jingxiang, the doctor of the Ministry of War, stood in the government office, all of whom looked stern, looking at the large group of people in front of him.

Li Bozhi glanced at Qin Shan, Lin Jingxiang and the others, turned to the people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The bandits in this county are so rampant that they dare to plunder the magistrate, which is unprecedented! This is an unforgivable provocation to Your Majesty and the court! Your Majesty was furious, and the court accepted the order and ordered the Ministry of War Lin to lead 5,000 troops to suppress the bandits! The whole county must work together to eliminate the bandits, return Yangwu County, and return a peace in Kaifeng Prefecture!"

Qin Shan is just a patrol inspector and is not qualified to speak.

Lin Jingxiang had no expression on his face. As a civil servant, he still held a knife in his hand. Then he said with a strong voice: "I am ordered to eliminate bandits! Everyone dares to act recklessly, collude with bandits, and kill them without mercy!"

Lin Jingxiang's words were short, but they scared everyone present.

Among the officials of Yangwu County were all over the world, as well as many famous gentry families. Their expressions were changing and they didn't know what they were thinking.

As the county magistrate, Li Bozhi knew very well that there was collusion between officials and bandits in Yangwu County and how these gentry families resisted the implementation of the "new law". He did not give them time to respond and said: "Yangwu County will fully cooperate with the bandit suppression and inspection department to vigorously investigate Yangwu County. Any illegality will be severely punished and there will be no mercy! I hope everyone present can understand that this time, Your Majesty, the court is firm in its attitude and will never give up halfway! Now, I give the opportunity to present, and surrender and surrender can be handled with leniency. Otherwise, if you are found out in the future, you will be punished with the first level and you will be severely punished!"

Everyone present shrank their heads and no one came out. But their eyes flashed, and they looked at them and looked at them, and they were really hard to guess.

Lin Jingxiang saw it and said directly: "Since that's the case, then let's start."

Li Bozhi is now the acting magistrate and knows clearly the situation in Yangwu County. Seeing these people silent, he was angry in his heart, calmed down and said, "Then let's start."

The inspector of the Inspection Department, Qin Shan, waved his hand and shouted: "Get someone!"

Before he finished speaking, the Yangwu County yamen runner rushed in, grabbed three people and dragged them outward.

A group of people were shocked. The three of them were all local big families. Their ancestors all had Jinshi and had been officials, and they had a great influence in the local area.

One of the half-bians had a stern face and said angrily: "Li Bozhi, why do you catch me? My son is now in Wude Army and is a fourth-rank official. Do you dare to take me!"

The other two also shouted, moving out of their ancestors and their current relationship network.

Li Bozhi was just a county magistrate. He was from the eighth rank. In the past, he begged them and they didn’t want to make friends with people. Why should he take them?!

Li Bozhi had no expression on his face. Amid their anger, everyone present was surprised and confused, and said lightly: "My dear officials and the squire, I have said very clearly. If anyone has luck, the outcome will be the same as them."

The so-called "官方" is a kind of change of "官方方". It is a special name for some people who are not only in the official position, but later gradually evolved into a gentry and famous.

Many people's faces turned pale, and some seemed to want to stand up, but were quietly pulled by someone.

Everyone looked at Li Bozhi, Qin Shan and Lin Jingxiang, and felt murderous intent. They secretly suppressed their fear and no one spoke again.

They all felt a crisis, looked anxious, and were anxious to deal with it.

When Li Bozhi and the other two saw that these people were stubborn and had no nonsense, they directly issued an order.

On the one hand, the inspection department started to "clean up" in Yangwu County, and on the other hand, Lin Jingxiang "suppresses bandits" in Yangwu County in a net-style manner.

Two-pronged approach, great momentum!

Xiangfu County.

In the backyard of the prefect's yamen, more than 20 security chiefs, A, village chiefs, and some local gentry were gathered in a big house. Outside the door were yamen runners, and there were inspection departments that had just arrived in the county. They were all fierce and evil, with half-sheathed scabbards.

One of the gentry wiped the cold sweat from his head in a cold weather, and smiled at the guard yamen runners beside the door, "Mr., we have been sitting for a long time. I wonder when the magistrate will come to see us?"

The yamen runners didn't turn their heads and said, "After you take out the complete land book."

The group of security chiefs, Arc, and others shrank their heads and whispered. They had long secretly colluded and formed an alliance, and only handed over a part of them. The real big boss could not be handed over even if they were beaten to death!

The gentry said with an anxious look on his face and his voice was full of anxiety: "When will we go back? There are still many things in the mansion, and there is a husband waiting for me to enter the seat tonight..."

The yamen runners turned a deaf ear and ignored them.

The so-called "husband" in the mouth of this gentry is naturally not the guardian in the court.

The gentry took a nail and turned around, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles. It was neither right to sit nor stand, and the cold sweat on his head never stopped.

In the main hall of Xiangfu County’s backyard.

The magistrate of Xiangfu County, the county town, the inspector, the chief clerk, and the newly appointed chief of the Sixth House were in a meeting.

The official and the housekeeper sneered and said, "What's the point? These people think they have a book of accounts hidden, so we can't do anything about it? Just clear the gang and ask someone to claim it. No one claimed it for a while, and they will be confiscated directly!"

"This is a big deal. Some people are thousands of miles away. If you get the news and come over, it will take half a year." said the owner of the housekeeper.

"Then there are always people who collect rent, look at the land, and farm, right? Don't they know who the boss is?"

"What I worry about is here. Now those people are all humans, and it may not be necessary to turn things around quietly. Besides, if there are few people in the family, what can we do if we have a name? As long as they drag it, the field will not be clear."

"I think the key is that the people from Baojia in these villages know the best where they go! The middle-level transactions cannot be avoided."

"You can always pry open one by one! First, you can measure it by prying it open, and then review it slowly. You can also choose a new Baojia, not afraid of no one talking, nor afraid of not being able to find the account book!"

The magistrate of Xiangfu County and others listened and nodded secretly. Although these people were talking about difficulties, no one retreated and were talking about various solutions!

"good!"

The magistrate of Xiangfu County said in a deep voice: "Then do it this way. First, I will punish some of them, pry open their mouths, and examine them while measuring. Their broken matters will be arrested one by one. The Inspection Department will leave them to you!"

The inspector of the inspection department immediately stood up and said loudly: "The official is here to receive the order."

The officials present were excited and frightened when they heard this. Such things were unimaginable in the past, but now they are taken for granted. Few people find it unexpected or uncomfortable.

Zhongmu County.

The measurement team didn't know how many times it came to this bridge, and the young people opposite were blocking the road.

Unlike before, this time, the measuring team is full of confidence, while the young man looks solemn.

Because behind the measuring team, there were more than 20 inspection office yamen runners, who were under the Ministry of War, and under the dual jurisdiction of the local government.

Of course, the young man did not come blindly to block the road. Looking at the captain of the measuring team of the old acquaintance, he raised his hand politely and said, "Brother, it's not that brothers want to make things difficult for you. It's really a matter of love. If you pass by today, we will have to be broken. Compared to being caught in prison, what would you choose?"

The captain of the measuring team also raised his hand and said, "You know how to be a human being. The measuring teams in other places have been framed and beaten, and many have disappeared. Since you want to go to jail, put down your things and follow them. Let's go in."

The young man still raised his hand and said with sincerity, "This is no problem. However, I remind you that our village has been around for hundreds of years, and it is all the same surname. If outsiders come in, no one will know how to die."

The captain of the measuring team was very clear about this situation, and not surprisingly, the entire Song Dynasty was in the patriarchal system, and a ancestral hall tied hundreds or even thousands of people.

The word "六" can be transformed into "ancestral hall" at the smallest unit.

The captain of the measuring team said: "You don't need to worry about this. It won't take long for the imperial court's bandit suppression army to arrive. If the army cannot enter, it will be a conspiracy."

The young man's face changed, and he understood that the situation had changed now, so he could not help him. He directly asked his subordinates to put down the "weapons" in his hand and crossed the bridge calmly.

The inspectors looked at it, and secretly warned, locked these people, and one of the yamen runners and the captain whispered: "Don't go in today. When tomorrow, we will bring more people."

If they forcibly break into such a closed village, something unpredictable may happen.

The captain of the measuring team looked at the village ahead that seemed to be beautiful but actually dark and unclear, and said, "Don't leave first, watch us go in. I will send someone to pass the message. If not, you will notify the bandit suppression army."

The yamen runner immediately understood what he was going to do and couldn't help but say nervously: "Why take such a risk? It's not too late to wait for the bandit suppression army to come."

The captain shook his head and said, "There is not much time left. According to the court's plan, the progress cannot be stopped at all."

The yamen runners stopped talking and watched them enter the village.

Not to mention the yamen runners of the inspection department, even the young people who blocked the road before were nervous.

The village was very quiet, and the yamen runners were waiting anxiously. After a stick of incense, they finally saw the people from the measuring team coming out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, we will start measuring tomorrow." The captain of the measurement team said in a serious expression, but his tone was relaxed.

The yamen runners nodded, all knowing that even if they agree to the measurement, they don’t know how much things will be waiting later.

Taikang County.

Taikang County made the most rapid progress. The yamen runners of the inspection department led their men to rush around, and the people from the measuring team marked the fields everywhere.

This time, they easily found a place, no one fooled them, and no one followed them secretly.

More than 200 people from the inspection department pulled a long line, pulled out a knife, and walked back and forth in the village.

Those chiefs, chiefs, and large gentry members are all missing now.

As the core of Kaifeng Prefecture, Kaifeng County, the bandit suppression operation was vigorous and the net-style clearance, and the cooperation of the inspection department, in just one day, several hills were eliminated, bandits and hundreds of colluded officials and gentry were arrested.

This move greatly shocked some people.

This thorough 'land action' aroused a strong reaction from the gentry class, even if it was only within the Kaifeng Prefecture.

Opposition in the government and the public is increasing day by day, and the opposition force is increasing day by day.
