Chapter 701 New Deal Implementation
At the beginning of September in the 30th year of Tianyuan.

Regardless of the objections of his ministers, Zhou Tianzi began to implement the "one whip" policy proposed by Wen Ruyan throughout the country. The new policy was implemented within ten days, causing violent reactions from all over the country.

Zhou Tianzi didn't pay attention to it at all, and all the memorials that asked him to take back his orders were all sent back by him.

mid-September.

Riots broke out in various places in Dazhou, and the situation was once in crisis.At this point, hundreds of officials from Yanjing knelt down at the main entrance of the palace, begging His Majesty to take back the order again, but Emperor Zhou still ignored it.

October.

Zhou Tianzi began to show his iron and blood skills, and ordered the governors of various places to lead troops to suppress the riots!Anyone in the court who mentions the abolition of the new law will be sent to prison by Emperor Zhou.

Just one and a half months.

Not only in Yanjing, but all over Dazhou, blood flowed like rivers. In just one and a half months, hundreds of officials had their heads chopped off, and countless families had their homes confiscated.

At this point, the voice of resistance gradually disappeared.

Everyone was frightened by Zhou Tianzi's iron-blooded wrist, those who were not afraid of death died, and those who were afraid of death naturally did not dare to make a sound, and the New Deal began to be implemented wantonly.

At the beginning of November in the 30th year of Tianyuan.

Reports were sent from all over the Great Zhou, and after the calculation by Ye Hongyuan, the new Secretary of the Household Department, the land area of ​​the Great Zhou was [-]% larger than before!

As soon as the news came out, all the officials fell into silence. Zhou Tianzi held the memorial written by Ye Hongyuan, his right hand trembled slightly, and the expression on his face was even more uncertain. Anyone could see that at this moment, Zhou Tianzi already on the brink of rage.

This land area is a full [-]% more?What is this concept?This is a big country!

Where did the [-]% of the land tax that came out over the years go?
In the past years, people everywhere only knew to complain to the imperial court, only knew to ask for money from the imperial court, and their pockets were full, and they kept squeezing the imperial court and sucking the blood of the imperial court!

After many years of war and chaos, he was exhausted, but who would have thought that there were so many moths in the whole country?
Zhou Tianzi has a calm temperament. He was still hesitating when he heard Wen Ruyan proposed this new policy, but after Wen Ruyu and Wen Ruyan's persuasion, coupled with the support of Prime Minister Su Dinghe, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. determination.

But who would have thought that so many moths could be dug out in just two months!How could this not make him angry?
At this point, Zhou Tianzi's heart was completely ruthless, and no one in the whole country dared to make the slightest objection!

mid-November.

As the twelfth lunar month approaches, General Yang Zhong personally sits in northern Xinjiang to prevent the Huns from invading!Yang Ping, the commander of the Left Patrol Battalion, and Ye Linxue, the female general, went together, which clearly shows how much Zhou Tianzi attaches importance to this matter.

Only when the northern border is well protected, will there be no worries when the new law is implemented in the Mainland of Great Zhou.

It's just that no one thought that this year's Xiongnu was completely different from previous years. Until the middle of the twelfth lunar month, no one from the Xiongnu came to invade!
People who don’t understand think that the Xiongnu have been beaten by the Great Zhou after the First World War last year, and they are a little complacent, while those who know some inside information think that the Huns have been in internal wars this year. Now they have finally achieved unity and need to recuperate. Time is powerless to commit crimes.

Only those who really understand become extremely cautious at this time.

Prince Jing's Mansion.

study.

Wen Ruyan and Prince Wen Ruyu sat opposite each other, and hurriedly retreated after a servant served hot tea.

Wen Ruyu took a sip of hot tea, but saw that Wen Ruyan on the opposite side was frowning and worried, so she asked, "Why, are you still thinking about the northern border?"

Wen Ruyan nodded heavily.

Wen Ruyu put down her teacup and said, "Many people are already celebrating that there will be no war in the northern border this year."

Wen Ruyan sneered and said, "It's too early to celebrate now."

"You're serious about what you told Father? So the Huns are really waiting for a signal from Nanchu?"

Wen Ruyan said resolutely: "It must be like this. In the middle of last year, several princes in Floating Cloud City died one after another. The murderer, Mu Xiqiu, was forced to flee Floating Cloud City by the former emperor of Southern Chu. It has been five months since then." No news, where did you say he went during this time?"

Wen Ruyu wanted to speak, but Wen Ruyan continued: "Also, just half a month after he disappeared, the sky changed on the grassland. The Xiongnu Zuoxian King defeated the tribe of Wang Ting and Youxian King in one fell swoop, and directly became a grassland. Your Majesty, do you think this is such a coincidence?"

"Not long after the situation on the grassland stabilized, Mu Xiqiu reappeared in Floating Cloud City. Do you think this is also a coincidence?"

The more he listened to him, the deeper Wen Ruyu's frown became. In fact, he had heard Wen Ruyan say these words a long time ago, but he had always had a fluke in his heart. The Xiongnu side of the border was a little abnormally quiet, so how could he not be cautious?

According to what Wen Ruyan said, the reason why the Xiongnu became so quiet was not because they were scared by the Great Zhou, nor was it because they had no ability to invade the Great Zhou in a short period of time, but because they were preserving their strength and desire to wait. Nan Chu's signal!
Since Mu Xiqiu came to the throne, he has wantonly rectified the officialdom, then widely issued recruitment orders, and then recruited troops with great fanfare. I am afraid that only a fool can understand what he means by all these actions.

I am afraid that Da Zhou will face a big battle next!And it's a battle that concerns the life and death of Sheji!

And Wen Ruyan can be sure that this big battle may come soon!

Every time I think of this, Wen Ruyan gets a headache. To be honest, although Da Zhou has implemented the new law, the effect is very remarkable, but this does not mean that Da Zhou already has the strength to face the attack from both sides at the same time. .

It takes time to implement the new policies and laws, and it takes time to enjoy the results. How can the benefits of the new policies be demonstrated in the past three to five years, seven or eight years?

"Then what do you think we should do now?" Wen Ruyu frowned.

Wen Ruyan sighed and shook his head slightly, "I don't know either."

"Do you think we can solve the hidden dangers in the northern border first? General Yang Zhong knows the most about the northern border. Maybe we can consider letting him lead the troops into the grassland first."

Wen Ruyan thought for a moment and shook her head, "Impossible!"

"why?"

"Even though General Yang knows a lot about the Huns, the situation is different once he enters the grassland. Even if they don't lose their way, but the grassland is so big, where should he go to find the Huns' stronghold? And once he enters the grassland, That would be considered as having entered the home court of the Huns, and the risk involved is too great, we cannot afford to take this risk now!"

Wen Ruyu wanted to say something more, but Wen Ruyan interrupted him with a wave, and continued: "And if my guess is correct, launching a war now will affect the whole body. , maybe it will force Mu Xiqiu to move too, even if he is not ready right now, it is better than the situation where we have to take care of each other, maybe the war will come earlier .”
