Chapter 664: Unthinkable
Zong Ze stood on a stone, looking around the newly built governor's yamen.
This governor's yamen is both majestic and low-key, and the cost is not too much.
He listened to Zhou Wentai and Liu Zhiyi's words and kept thinking.
The problems and challenges they face on Jiangnan West Road are increasing day by day, and there are endless difficulties every day.
Zhou Wentai, Liu Zhiyi didn't say anything else, and was watching Zong Ze.
They are not outsiders and are also well aware of the difficulties of these problems. If one cannot handle them well, the heavens will be angry and the others will be resentful. Not to mention the future, even now, they may be crushed to pieces at any time. They must be careful at every step, walking on thin ice.
After a while, Zong Ze suddenly said in a deep voice: "Release all prefectures and counties. In addition, the households will form forces to check the accounts. For all prefectures and counties, the treasury and account books will be sealed immediately. If you find any problems, you will take them down immediately!"
Zhou Wentai and Liu Zhiyi looked at each other, and both of them were hesitant in their eyes.
Not to mention this remote Jiangnan West Road, it is just in Kaifeng Prefecture. How many people can be fine if they check the accounts like this?
How many officials in the Song Dynasty are not greedy or possessive?
Zong Ze saw the hesitation of the two and said, "Slay the mess with a quick knife! You can't wait, let alone support you. We must take advantage of the opportunity to solve all the troubles at once, otherwise the resistance will be greater in the future, and the effort will be ten times or a hundred times, and we may not be able to succeed."
Zhou Wentai still hesitated and said, "Governor, it's not that the subordinates refuse. It's because this matter is really serious, and the court may not be able to suppress it."
Zong Ze walked down the stone and said, "It's not just this thing that can't be suppressed. We can't be restrained. Big things are imminent. If we don't rush forward, we will be unable to do things later. I will give orders as the governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Yamen, and you can do it."
"The official is here to receive the order!"
Liu Zhiyi was very straightforward. The governors were so strong that they had no reason to retreat.
Zong Ze nodded and said, "Your Highness Thirteenth is still suppressing bandits, and the city is closed down. For some people who dare to disobey the ban, they must be investigated strictly and punished for the crime of treason!"
"Yes. The officials went to the Nan Censorate and the Nan Dali Temple to talk to him." Liu Zhiyi said.
Zong Ze shook his head while walking, and said, "Let the Nanhuangcheng Municipal Office do it. Check the accounts and seal the warehouse, and the Nanhuangcheng Municipal Office will also handle it. Let me write to Li Yan and ask him to come back. The Nanhuangcheng Municipal Office is not used to suppress bandits."
"Yes." Liu Zhiyi continued. He also thought that the Nanhuangchengsi went to suppress the bandits, which was a bit inappropriate. However, Li Yan's identity was too special. Before the Thirteenth Prince Zhao Silai, Lin Xi could suppress him steadily. Others could only use all their means to coerce and induce him.
Zhou Wentai followed Zong Ze and thought, "Governor, then we need to make more progress. In addition to money and food, there are also personnel. The prefectures have been replaced. Will the counties be too anxious?"
"We must be in a hurry."
Zong Ze said: "It is impossible to suppress the bandits forever, and the city cannot be sealed for three months. Everything can be urgent, but it cannot be delayed. Hongzhou Prefecture is the capital of Jiangnan West Road, especially everything must be done at the forefront. Master Zhou, you have to hurry up."
This is the Zhou Wentai.
Zhou Wentai's personality is similar to Cai Bian. He is a person who is determined to reform but not radical.
In the current atmosphere of radical, intense and rapid reform, there is a little incompatible.
"The official is here to receive the order." Zhou Wentai still raised his hand and said.
The three of them left the governor's yamen and turned to the temporary yamen. Zong Ze said: "We can take the opportunity to promote the merger of various prefectures, prefectures and counties. There are too many prefectures and counties. The court has already approved it, only six prefectures are retained, and towns and villages are also required to rectify the towns and villages. The smooth flow of government orders is the top priority of reform. In the face of resistance, we must have the courage to break through and be a little worried..."
Liu Zhiyi and Zhou Wentai both listened quietly, it was obvious that Governor Zong was a little dissatisfied with their attitude and efficiency, and this was to point them out.
The two couldn't help but look at each other again and took a deep breath.
They all bear tremendous pressure and have a lot of hesitation and hesitation.
Nanchang County.
Zhao Si was sitting here and didn't walk around.
Li Kui and Tong Guan often went out to command the suppression of bandits everywhere, and were subject to the results of the prosecution.
Tong Guan came in from outside, and saw His Highness Thirteen pretending to be reading a book, without pointing it out, came in respectfully, and saluted, "Your Highness."
Zhao Si nodded, his eyes not leaving the book.
This is Zhao Xu's standard action. When Zhao Xu is reading or writing books, he will be very focused and will only make a faint noise when shouting from others.
Tong Guan smiled and handed a document, saying, "Your Highness, you are currently eliminating 69 bandits, and there are two thousand bandits captured."
Zhao Si was startled, quickly put down the book, looked at Tong Guan, and said in surprise: "Is there so many?"
Wouldn't it be doubled for two thousand bandits, including those who died or those who escaped?
Tong Guan said: "This... the villain has not yet undergone a verdict, so they will inevitably take good care of it."
Zhao Si then relaxed a little, nodded and said, "If there were so many bandits on the small Jiangnan West Road, then wouldn't there be tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of bandits in the entire Song Dynasty?"
Tong Guan used to suppress bandits in Kaifeng Prefecture and knew the reasons. For example, some farmers who were honest during the day, but went up the mountains and down the water to become bandits at night.
Therefore, the bandits in the Song Dynasty would have much more than some people in the imperial court expected!
Tong Guan did not say this to Zhao Si, and said with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated, your highness doesn't need to worry too much."
Zhao Si nodded, thought about it with a calm face and said, "Officer Chen from the palace has sent me a letter."
Tong Guan was very dissatisfied with Chenpi. If a little kid hadn't been following the official family all the time, how could this official be his turn?
But on the surface, Tong Guan still respected him very much and said curiously: "What did the high-ranking official say?"
Zhao Si was a little happy and said, "The high-ranking official said that the official is very satisfied with my bandit suppression results and wants to give me a title."
After the royal family reform, only Zhao Qi received the title of prince, but Zhao Xu had no other brothers. There was a rumor that he wanted to drive them out of the palace.
Tong Guan thought of more.
This title cannot be achieved by suppressing a bandit, but it only means that this Thirteenth Highness will be more useful in the future!
Tong Guan's expression suddenly became more and more respectful, and he raised his hand and smiled: "I'm sorry to Your Highness first."
Zhao Si looked proud on her face and said, "Don't worry, I will not forget your contributions. I have written all the memorials, and you are all on it."
Tong Guan didn't care about this little contribution. Seeing that the little prince seemed to have not yet realized it, he thought about it and stepped forward and whispered, "Your prince, have you led the Boy Scout?"
In the Martial Arts Academy, there is a Boy Scout, and Zhao Si is the young commander.
Zhao Si became more and more proud and said, "I chose those people. I even brought them into the palace and demonstrated them to the official family. He praised me for my good training."
Tong Guan smiled and said: "With the Boy Scouts, His Highness will definitely be able to gallop on the battlefield and make countless contributions in the future."
