I studied in modern times

Chapter 211 Radicals in action

Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji naturally not only wrote letters to the two palaces.

They each also wrote a memorial to Zhao Xu.

The people in Tongjian Si did not dare to neglect and delivered it directly to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu first opened Xiang Zonghui's memorial.

Xiang Zonghui stated in the memorial that I have been on Xihe Road for almost half a month. In the past half month, I have selected [-] mu of unowned land near Taohe River outside Xizhou City according to the command of the officials. wasteland.

Zhao Sizhong, Zhao Chunzhong and others saw that the minister had no labor, so they offered to give the minister more than 1000 slaves and maidservants as labor.

The heads of the ministries are hard to turn down, and the ministers can't refuse, so they can only accept it temporarily, but this matter still has to be decided by the officials!
After Zhao Xu finished reading it, he smiled, and wrote a pen on Xiang Zonghui's memorandum: Uncle Guo reclaimed wasteland and led the people to farm, very good!The slaves and maidservants donated by Zhao Sizhong and others should be changed to contract employment according to the laws of the Song Dynasty!For the rest, Uncle Guo can dispose of them at his discretion!
After reading it, Xiang Zong replied with Gao Gongji's letter.

Gao Gongji is interesting. He also said that he has selected about 1 mu of unowned wasteland on the north bank of Taohe River, and plans to reclaim it.

But after saying this, he started complaining.

It is also said that the land is too barren and the cultivated land is not fertile.

It is also said that there is a lack of channels and it is difficult to get water.

It is also said that although there are a lot of cattle and horses in the area, there are very few plowing tools that can be used for farming.

Inside and outside the words, they all mean the same thing: money!VIP!Want something!
Zhao Xu naturally agreed one by one and approved that Gao Gongji could go to Qinzhou to build a courtyard and transfer hundreds of craftsmen to Xizhou. He also told Gao Gongji that he could temporarily pay [-] guan of silk from the Border Defense Finance Department to use it. Come and build canals and make farming tools.

As for the money used, in the future, it can be offset directly with kapok.

Interest or something?

Everyone is a family, and it is too much to talk about interest!

Therefore, the money is regarded as an interest-free loan.

At the same time, he told Gao Gongji to tell Xiang Zonghui about this matter, and he also allowed Xiang Zonghui to withdraw [-] yuan from the Department of Finance and Utilization of the Frontier Defense to reclaim wasteland.

After approving the memorials of the two royal relatives, Zhao Xu took them to Baoci Palace and showed them to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Xiang.

After reading Zhao Xu's reply, the two palaces were extremely happy!
Especially the Empress Dowager, I deeply feel that this grandson is really filial!
It's really good for the Gao family!
Ten thousand!
I will give it with my eyes closed, no interest, and it is allowed to offset it with kapok!

Isn't this just giving money to the Gao family and the Xiang family, and giving them [-] acres of irrigated land?

With these ten thousand acres of irrigated land, the wealth of Gao Gongji and his descendants is guaranteed!
Even if you don't know how to manage it, you can grow some wheat casually on [-] mu of irrigated land, and you can eat and wear without worrying about it.

Besides, this is just the beginning.

Maybe, Gao Gongji will finally be able to irrigate tens of thousands of acres of land in the local area!
On the contrary, Queen Mother Xiang still couldn't help but said to Zhao Xu: "Sixth brother, didn't the queen mother tell Sixth brother last time? You have given enough rewards to the Gao family and the Xiang family! You don't need to give any more! I'm afraid if you give it to the courtiers. I'm going to gossip again..."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she also politely said: "What the Empress Dowager said is that the official family is the emperor, and you should take the world as your responsibility. Don't be too partial to the emperor's relatives, lest the courtiers say that the old man and the Empress Dowager only care about their own family!"

Zhao Xu smiled sweetly, and said: "The words of the mother and the empress are wrong!"

"This is a state matter. The two relatives of the state are doing things for me and Sheji!"

"Xihe Lanhui Road, the wasteland is useless and sparsely populated!"

"The two relatives of the country worked tirelessly, set an example, and led the people to reclaim wasteland. It is really a blessing for the country!"

After hearing this, the two palaces laughed.

No one can refuse to get [-] mu of contiguous land for his younger brother and nephew in a reasonable, legal and reasonable way!

It should be noted that the land is full of fields, and it is almost impossible to appear in today's Song Dynasty.

Even those local households with extremely luxurious cover.

All they have is a piece here and a piece there.

Therefore, the turnover rate of land in the Song Dynasty was extremely high.

For large households, land property is not so much real estate, but rather a stable, reliable and easy-to-monetize wealth that can preserve its value.

Buy land if you have money, and sell land if you are short of money.

This is the so-called 'thousand-year field for eight hundred masters'!
As a result, the connected land has thus become wealth with a higher premium.

Ten thousand acres of connected irrigated land.

Even in Xihe, it is a huge fortune!

In the eyes of the two palaces, naturally, this is Zhao Xu trying every means to reward his countrymen.

However, Zhao Xu's reason is indeed very good, it is enough to shut up the mouths of the government and the public - the two relatives of the country have worked hard for the country, led the people to reclaim wasteland, and set an example for the world!
……

Liu Zhi put on a brand new Haechi suit, tied on a whitebait bag, and walked out of the house with his head held high.

He rode his horse through Royal Street.

Yuan Suimen opened the way ahead, and wherever Zuo Sijian passed, both scholars, civilians, businessmen, and businessmen retreated one after another.

Arriving in Xuanpingfang, Liu Zhi saw the tall and straight pines and cypresses in Yushitai from a long distance away.

Countless crow's nests line the canopy.

The noisy cries of crows can be heard clearly from a hundred paces away.

Liu Zhi rode to the official office at Yushitai, and he got off his horse.

Immediately, officials from the Yushitai came up and took the horse to feed him.

Yuan Sui bowed his hands to him, and went to the nearby tea shops and restaurants to find entertainment.

Liu Zhi raised his head and looked at the familiar plaque on Yushitai.

He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and shouted in his heart: "Yushitai, I, Mr. Liu Xin, am back again!"

When Xining reformed, he served as the official office of Jianzheng Zhongshu Lifang, and he belonged to the backbone of the reform school.

Not only Wang Jiefu appreciated him, but Emperor Daxing also appreciated him.

However, in the five years in Xining, everything took a sudden turn for the worse.

Wang Anshi's reform was too fast, and he pushed it forward regardless of dissuasion.

Liu Zhi tried his best to dissuade him upholding justice.

He refused to listen to dissuasion, so he used the opportunity of being a supervisory censor at that time to write a letter of impeachment.

As a result, Wang Anshi was completely offended, and was demoted from the capital, and demoted to Hengzhou to supervise the salt warehouse.

This made Liu Zhi hold his breath in his heart all the time.

Now, after more than ten years of hard work, he has finally returned to Yushitai!
Moreover, this time he will serve as Zuo Sijian, supervising the prime minister and impeaching officials. He will be able to report any dereliction of duty, inappropriateness or violation of regulations!

Even the emperor can persuade his faults and rectify his gains and losses!
The moment Liu Zhi stepped into the threshold of Yushitai, he swore in his heart: "Wang Jiefu, I will make you suffer!"

In Liu Zhi's sleeve lay a letter.

The person who wrote the letter was Sima Guang in Chenzhou.

In his letter, Sima Guang encouraged him to "speak out for the world and say things that others dare not say".

With Sima Guang's encouragement, Liu Zhi is already full of ambition.

The first step starts from Yushitai!
Therefore, Liu Zhi went straight to the Yushitai, but did not follow the usual practice to meet Huang Lu, the Yushi Zhongcheng who was in charge of the Yushitai.

On the contrary, he went directly to his official residence.

Then, in the official residence, I will pick up a pen and start writing bullets.

He wants to impeach Huang Lu!

The charge is forming a party for personal gain, and A Fuzai is in charge, and he shrinks back!

The evidence is all there!
Jian Xuchen is enough to prove that Huang Lu formed a clique.

Huang Lu was in Yushitai. In the past few months, he has never impeached or criticized the left minister Cai Que and the right minister Han Jiang.It is enough to prove that he is a fuzai!
The charge of flinching is even easier to find!

The emperor saw Wang Anshi's heresy in Funing Palace, but he didn't write a letter to correct the emperor!
Tolerable or unbearable!
So, half an hour later, a sharp, harsh and murderous remonstrance was written.

After Liu Zhi finished writing, he checked again and again to make sure that there were no taboos or mistakes, and then re-transcribed it into the official remonstrance paper.

Seal it with wax paint, call the officials, and order it to be sent to the palace quickly.

This is his power!

You can play the emperor directly, impeach all ministers who want to impeach, and talk about everything he thinks is unreasonable!

When Liu Zhi's bullets were sent to the Department of General Inspection.

The people from the Tongjian Division did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent it to the hands of the two palaces.

At the same time, there was also the bulletin of the supervisory censor Wang Yansou impeaching another supervisory censor, Huang Jiang Afu, a dignitary, and the party attached Huanglu.

In addition, there are supervisory censor Wang Zhi impeaching Shangshu Youcheng, Zhongshu Shilang and attendant Lu Gong's works, military minister and attendant Fan Chunren, Zhongshu Sheren and attendant lecturer Cai Bian, and Shizhong and attendant Lu Dian. bullets.

The three imperial censors either took office just today, or took office in the last month.

And they are all recommended by Lu Gongzhu.

But once they took office, they went all out.

Especially Wang Zhi, the first fire of the new officials' appointment was directly directed at Lu Gongzhuo who recommended them!

……

In Baoci Palace.

The two palaces are guiding Zhao Xu to write.

Of course Zhao Xu's regular script doesn't need to be taught.

But running script and cursive script are very 'immature'.

Of course, he is equally talented in calligraphy!

In less than an hour, he had gradually mastered some tips of running script and cursive script.

The copied copybooks are even more similar.

This makes writing with him and guiding his two palaces very gratifying and satisfying!
Wen, on the other hand, keeps her quiet, low-key and sensible.

From time to time, they brought tea soup and drinks to Liang Gong and Zhao Xu.

Maybe it's because she got acquainted in front of the two palaces, so although her voice is still very soft, it is no longer as mosquito-like as before.

At least, Zhao Xu doesn't have to prick up his ears.

"The official is really smart and handsome!"

After another copybook was written, he took it into the hands of the Empress Dowager, looked at it carefully, and praised: "No wonder Feng Jing and others often say: The calligraphy skills of the officials may not be as good as the king's right army when he was young!"

The Empress Dowager also smiled and took the copybook.

She was preparing to teach this grandson the key to running script.

Liang Wei simply held three imperial censor bullets and arrived in front of the two palaces.

He respectfully presented the bullets to the two palaces.

"Qizhuo Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Emperor! This is today's censor bullet just delivered by Tongjian Division!"

The two palaces looked at each other, and the Empress Dowager asked, "Why are there three bullets today?"

Liang Weijian replied: "It's the bullets of the new Zuo Sijian Liu Zhi, the new supervisory censor Wang Zhi, and the new supervisory censor Wang Yansou!"

The two palaces understood instantly.

Three fires for a new official to take office!

Although Wang Yansou's fire took some time, it's not too late!
So the empress dowager said to the empress dowager: "Empress dowager, let's see what the censor said first!"
