That night, Zhao Xu talked with several husbands for a long time.

Many issues were discussed in depth, especially the implementation of the "new law", and more thoughts were made.

In just two days, the court made major moves one after another.

The first is that the "Yuanyou Reform Group" was established, with Zhang Dun, the deputy general manager, taking charge of the matter, and reporting directly to the official.

Second, the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Dali Temple, the three judicial departments have concluded the "Reform Outline" and submitted it to the Political Affairs Hall and approved it. This "Outline" is completely aimed at the establishment of the "New Law" to solve the current law that cannot cope with all kinds of things. It clearly stipulates that any illegal acts that confront, obstruct, and curb the "New Law" can be arrested, tried quickly, and dealt with as fines, imprisonment, exile, or even a decree, a house search, etc.

Third, the Ministry of Personnel reiterated that it would implement the new "Examination and Examination Law" to clarify the responsibilities of local officials, saying that it would conduct serious investigations and pursuance, and officially kick off the "Beijing Inspection" with the Censorate, mainly targeting all walks of life in the south.

Fourth, we summarized the personnel affairs of the "Kaifeng Prefecture Pilot", severely punished and condemned some people, and praised a considerable number of people, and remembered them on the case.

Subsequently, the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice successively dispatched high-standard inspection teams to inspect the sixteen counties of Kaifeng Prefecture and guide the implementation of the "new law".

It can be said that the Song Dynasty court was unprecedentedly serious, and the waving of various big sticks was full of vigor. I don’t know how many people fell in response to the sound, shocking the whole country.

Since Zhao Xu took power, all kinds of things have not been cut off, especially the struggle with the "restoring of Xining Reform" as the core, which has spread throughout the government and the country.

Under such a "harsh" rule of the court, the opposition aroused naturally became stronger and stronger, and it was as surging as waves.

The attacks on Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and all the "New Party" were unprecedentedly fierce. There were dozens of impeachment memorials sent to Zhao Xu's case table every day.

In the Shilin, Zhang Dun's reputation became increasingly bad, and his reputation was more terrifying than Wang Anshi. It can be said that from head to toe, they were slandered for nothing, and all kinds of vicious rumors spread all over the world.

But these cannot stop the resurgence and implementation of the "new law".

Zhongmu County.

The measurement team in Zhongmu County has exceeded 100, and the land is measured in various parts of the county according to the established plan.

The magistrate of Zhongmu County led the team to the hardest village.

This village has a century-old history and is passed down from generation to generation. It is managed by the Zhou family. It is rumored that this village is a survivor of the Later Zhou royal family. In the past, yamen at all levels were very concerned. After all, it involves some more sensitive matters about the establishment of the country.

Therefore, this village became the biggest problem, and the problem went all the way to the county government.

Zhoujia Village, which was unattended in the past, this time, Zhongmu County was not weak. Not only the magistrate led the yamen runners, but also more than a thousand bandit suppression troops stood in front of the village gate and could rush in at any time.

The village is very quiet, but the iron past is already cracked due to strong pressure, and there are quarrels inside.

In the ancestral hall.

Seven people were sitting, three old men and four middle-aged men.

One of the middle-aged men, sweating all over his head, looked at the old man sitting in the main seat with a black and hard face, and said anxiously: "Uncle San, you have seen the situation. The yamen only gave us half an hour, and if we didn't say anything in half an hour, they rushed in!"

The old man on his right hand had a long horn and a gloomy eyes. He snorted coldly, saying, "What are you afraid of? They rushed in. Can they still slaughter our village?"

The middle-aged man immediately said, "Uncle Seven! The magistrate can say that if we resist stubbornly and treat the disrespect of the law, the whole village will exile the frontier as a hard labor! If you don't consider yourself, you have to take into account the hundreds of people in the village!"

Uncle Qi sneered disdainfully and said, "Hundreds of people were exiled to the frontier. Have you seen them before? Okay, don't listen to them bluffing. I'll sit here. If you have the ability, they will kill in!"

Another old man also spoke and said, "I have not had such a thing until now that the founding of the Song Dynasty. They don't worry about reputation and don't care what the people in the world think. Can they still care about how to write historical books? Can they still ignore the holy reputation of the officials?! Sit down!"

The middle-aged man immediately became more anxious, stood up, and almost yelled: "It's different! Didn't you see it? The government army has come, and they have captured hundreds of people. Haven't you seen it? Now, it's different!"

A brother next to him was a little moved, looked at the three clan elders, and hesitated: "I think Lao Wu is right, three uncles, we can't resist the court like this, we have to ease a little..."

Uncle Qi looked at him and said, "How to ease? If the land in our village is really measured, do you know how many things will happen? Not to mention the others, just talk about us. Those lands really need to be measured. A few of them have to go out half of them and then involve the matter inside. Do you think we can still sit here safely?"

The one who just spoke was Eleven, and he remembered that the family that was starved to death last year because of the offender kneeling and their family had all divided the 60 acres of land.

If the court comes in to measure, it will inevitably discover this.

In the past, people did not procure officials, but if they discovered it, could they still turn a blind eye? Besides, can the lands that the clan privately divided can still be preserved?

Thinking about it, it's a headache.

"Uncle San,"

A twelve or thirteen-year-old child ran in and said breathlessly: "The official outside said that we should make a decision quickly, otherwise they would be polite. I saw that they separated and blocked the village three other roads."

The faces of the people in the ancestral hall changed suddenly and they stood up together, especially the three old men, with ugly expressions and constant changes.

What if the government really wants to forcefully break in?

Could it be that we can really lead people to resist? That is no different from rebellion, and the consequences are unimaginable!

Lao Wu stamped his feet, looked at the three old men, and said angrily: "Uncle San, you have seen it all, the government is not kidding us!"

Uncle San with a black and hard face looked at him coldly, sat back slowly, and said for the first time, "What do you think?"

Uncle Qi had a gloomy face and said, "I object!"

He firmly opposed it. He decided that there were too many things in the village. When the government came in and found out what happened, he would be the first to be able to escape!

Another clan elder looked hesitant and did not speak.

The clan elders didn't say anything, and the following middle-aged people looked at each other, so they became even more nervous and dared to say more.

Uncle San looked around and said, "I understand."

Everyone looked at him and waited for his next sentence. But the third uncle only said this, "I understand," but did not say it again.

‘I understand’, what does it mean?

Everyone looked at him and waited for him to continue talking.

But the third uncle sat upright without a word.

The others looked at each other, and the Wu's face changed again and again. Finally, he snorted coldly and sat down on the chair, refusing to say more.

They understood that the third uncle still refused, just depends on what the government does!

Time passed little by little, outside the village, the magistrate of Zhongmu County and the Wailang, the Ministry of War who led a thousand bandit suppression troops around him, gradually calmed down.

The Ministry of War officer Wailang said in a low tone, "Do you still have to wait?"

The magistrate of Zhongmu County had a straight face and said in a deep voice: "The yamen runners of the Ministry of Justice took the lead and suppressed the bandits, but they were unlawful to disobey and punished them for pursuing rebellion and executed them on the spot!"

For such a decision, the previous magistrates did not have such power or courage.

The Ministry of War Officer Wailang heard this and waved his hand skillfully.

Hundreds of people suddenly became neat and orderly, and they strided towards the village.

The people in the village were watching and seeing that the officials and soldiers were really coming in, there was a chaos and they all rushed towards the direction of the ancestral hall.

"Everyone is not allowed to move around when he goes home, and those who go out without authorization will be killed!"

"Only punish the evil people, without any crime, and the law-abiding people will be guilty of no crime!"

"The court rules are strictly abide by, and the officials are not violated at all!"

The official entered the village, yelled loudly.

The villagers were frightened. Compared with the imperial court, they believed more about the clan elders in the ancestral hall. After all, the county magistrate was not as good as the current management.

The people in the ancestral hall had already stood up and stared at the direction where the official army came.

The three clan elders and four middle-aged people all had a change of expression and were nervous and frightened.

Who would have thought that the official army actually rushed in!

This kind of thing is unprecedented!

In order to measure a few acres of land, thousands of troops were used to invade a small village. Who can believe it if you say it out!

From ancient times to the present, there has been no such thing!

The three elders looked at each other, and their faces were very stiff.

But what can they do when facing the official army? If they want to resist, how many people dare to follow them?

Soon, the yamen runners rushed over and surrounded the ancestral hall.

The county magistrate of Zhongmu County strode over, staring at the seven people in front of the ancestral hall with a majestic look on his face, and shouted: "You guys, all of you will follow me. If you dare to disobey, kill them on the spot!"

The officers and soldiers held swords in their hands, as if these people were moving around, and they would really pounce on them and cut them to death.

When the Wu saw this, he hurriedly stepped out and raised his hand and said, "This official, we have not disobeyed our orders. We should act in accordance with the orders of the county government. Do not be impulsive."

The three elders of the tribe were tense and the stalemate was still in a stalemate. How could they dare to speak? The knife was placed on their necks!

"take away!"

Seeing that they didn't speak, the county magistrate waved his hand suddenly.

The yamen runners stepped forward and directly added shackles to these people.

The old fifth stared at the three clan elders with a fearful look, worried that what they said or did would cause excessive actions by the officials, causing blood to flow into a river of ancestral hall.

Fortunately, those people were silent and did not resist.

The people around were even more afraid to speak out. Occasionally, those who dared to show off were either pulled back or were taken away by officers and soldiers first, which did not cause much noise.

Seeing that they did not resist, the county magistrate felt relieved. He didn't dare to think about how much trouble it would cause if the blood flowed here.

The news that the government office "conquered" Zhoujia Village quickly spread, which caused many places that were still resisting stubbornly, and the resistance in other places suddenly became soft.
Chapter completed!
