Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Chapter 148 Xungui's Counterattack

"Qingzhang's field per mu, Fangtian's average tax."

The officials of the old party were in an uproar. The reason why the old party was called the old party was not because of its conservative thinking, or because most of them were very old officials.

But most of them are vested interests, no matter what kind of reform will damage their interests, such as the Qingli New Deal, Wang Anshi's reform, and even more so.

Behind it is not as simple as the hundreds of acres of land of the wealthy households. Most of them are thousands of hectares.

When encountering the political reforms in the court, he pretended to be righteous and pleaded for the people, so as to protect his own interests.

"Lord Lu, the officials insist on clearing Zhang Tianmu, so what should we do?" Yang Wei, the censor, said worriedly. Once Zhang Zhang's mu was cleared, the fields he had hidden would be completely exposed. It will ruin his Qingliu reputation.

Lu Dafang snorted coldly: "What are you panicking about? As far as I know, you are from Luoyang. Now Kaifeng Mansion is a pilot site for labor and labor, and the land of Kaifeng Mansion is Qingzhang. Worrying is unfounded!"

Yang Wei's heart moved and he said: "Lv Xianggong means that he is a noble relative in the capital!"

Lu Dafang nodded. The people with the most land in Kaifeng Mansion are not the officials, but a group of honorable relatives. These people were all heroes who followed Zhao Kuangyin to conquer the world. After Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a glass of wine, he gave them riches and wealth and a lot of rewards , has long been intertwined in Kaifeng Mansion.

Now, after hundreds of years of operation, they have already taken the land of Kaifeng Mansion as their own. They were the ones who did Wang Anshi's reform three times.

"Wonderful! These honorable foreign relatives have the most land. This time the wealthy households in Kaifeng Prefecture gathered to make trouble, I'm afraid there are their shadows. This time, the officials will investigate Yintian, how can they sit still?" Yang Wei stroked Dayue road.

"When these honorable relatives rise up against it, I believe the officials will retreat in the face of difficulties." Lu Dafang said with a gloomy expression.

Yang Wei sneered and nodded.

"Lord Cao, what should I do?" After hearing the news about the imperial court's Qingzhang Tianmu, a group of honorable relatives immediately gathered in Cao's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Among all the foreign relatives in the Great Song Dynasty, the Cao family is the most prominent. Since the Empress Dowager Gao returned to power, the Gao family has already closed their doors to thank guests. Before the Queen Mother, they had strictly warned the Xiang family not to let him enter the court as an official. Yin, has not yet been formally appointed as an official, and as for the Meng family, they have just established a foothold in Kaifeng City, and have not yet fully integrated into the circle of noble relatives.

The former privy envoy Cao Hui was embarrassed. He was persuaded by Cai Que to support Zhao Xu's personal administration. However, after Zhao Xu took office, he directly appointed Zeng Bu as the privy envoy.

Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't react too much. After all, the position of an official did not harm the wealth of the Cao family. However, Zhao Xu's investigation of Yintian in Kaifeng Mansion directly touched his interests.

He is a first-rank official. Although he has the tax-free privilege of [-] acres, it is still a drop in the bucket facing the huge family property of the Cao family. Once all the fields of the Cao family are allocated to the mu, even he is still extremely heartbroken.

Cao Hui looked at the excitement of Xungui's relatives, his heart moved, but he said helplessly on the surface: "The official's intention to reform has been decided, what can I do?"

"If the Empress Dowager was in power, why would we be in trouble today." A nobleman said reminiscently.

The hearts of all the honorable relatives moved, they looked at each other, and then hid their inner thoughts. "

"The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk more. The imperial court wants to investigate the land. Let me see who dares to investigate the fields of the Shifu!" A nobleman said proudly. He is the founder of the country after Shi Shouxin. It is still a big family of the Song Dynasty.

The other noble relatives looked proud. They were the generals and heroes who followed the founding of the Song Dynasty. The officials of the past dynasties have married each other. The power has long been intertwined.

Cao Hui shook his head and said, "Nonsense, the officials are determined to revitalize the Song Dynasty. How can we not help them? The Cao family has indeed hidden [-] acres of land, and the Cao family will take the initiative to declare it tomorrow. As you know, we are not the only ones hiding fields in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Shi Shouxin immediately said: "What Master Cao said is very true. The Shi family also hid [-] mu of land, and they will also take the initiative to declare it tomorrow."

All the nobles suddenly became foggy, and each declared [-] or [-] acres of land and went to work.

At the same time, the entire Kaifeng government began to clear the land on a large scale. The big landlords were handled lightly, and the rich and the poor were extremely strict. A little bit of hidden land of the rich and middle households was also found out one after another. The wasteland was also investigated as a hidden field.

Except for Kaifeng County, where Su Song personally took charge of Kaifeng Prefecture, other counties were in violation of the law, and the people were full of complaints.

"Officials, I heard that the common people are complaining about the servitude! Is there such a thing?" This incident even spread to the palace, which alarmed the Queen Mother.

"Why did my aunt say that? How can ordinary people complain about it when their mothers are released as slaves and their taxes are greatly reduced." Zhao Xu's expression changed.

The Empress Dowager said worriedly: "It's a good thing for the officials to reform and strengthen themselves, but don't be greedy for meritorious deeds. The officials have just been in charge, so they need to focus on safety."

The Empress Dowager Xiang was born in a declining family of civil servants, and she did not agree with the nobles and relatives. However, recently, what has been heard in her ears is the implementation of new laws, and the people are excited, so they are naturally worried.

As the empress dowager, what she valued was not making great achievements, or expanding the territory, but the stability of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, during the Shenzong period, the Fangtian average tax law was tried and tried three times, but none of them succeeded, which shows how much resistance there is.

Among Zhao Xu's weak champions, it is too radical to carry out reforms so radically.

"What my aunt taught me is that I will definitely reform carefully." Zhao Xu said casually.

After being sent to the queen mother, Zhao Xu's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Tong Guan, find out who is approaching the queen mother."

"Yes! Officials!"

Tong Guan responded.

Soon, Tong Guan went back and reported in a low voice: "Report to the officials, recently a group of honorable women have frequently entered the palace and met the Queen Mother."

"Xungui?" Zhao Xu was not surprised by this. These nobles who followed the Song Dynasty and established the country have been operating in Kaifeng City for a hundred years. I am afraid that they have already occupied a lot of land in Kaifeng City. This point Qingzhang Yintian may have touched their hearts. Benefit.

"My maidservant has heard rumors among the people that if the Empress Dowager is in power, the world will not have such worries." Tong Guanyi gritted his teeth.

Zhao Xu's expression darkened immediately. He knew that it might be a rumor, or it might be a warning. Maybe someone really wanted the Empress Dowager to take power again.

Zhao Xu showed a trace of coldness and said: "When the Empress Dowager returned to power, I seemed to have rewarded all the empresses of the Gao family, and the brothers of the Xiang family were eager to ask for an official?"

"Yes!" Tong Guan bowed his head.

Zhao Xu sneered and said, "I think it's time for me to fulfill my promise. It is rumored that the members of the Gao family and the Xiang family and a group of alternate officials will be summoned. I will give them a chance to apply for an official!"

A group of nobles wanted to threaten him with the help of the Empress Dowager Xiang and the Empress Dowager, and now he wants to use the Spear of the Son to attack the Shield of the Son, and let the Gao family and the Xiang family deal with them with their own hands.

It's time to launch the big killer - instant supplement.
