Hongzhou Prefecture, government office.

Zhou Wentai arrived in Hongzhou Prefecture and had been serving as the prefect of Hongzhou for some time.

When he first came, he still felt that during this period, he deeply felt that the water in Hongzhou Prefecture and Jiangnan West Road was too deep.

He summoned officials from prefectures and counties in Hongzhou Prefecture, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one behind the scenes, and one by one behind the scenes, and there was no way to communicate with each other.

His decrees were spread before they were drafted, and all kinds of things happened, killing these policies in the cradle.

His government office recruited a few servants, one by one, and they were sneaky and sneaked around the mansion all day long.

In Hongzhou Prefecture, he seemed to be the lord of the prefecture and the highest official, but in fact, few people really obeyed him. The inspection department he integrated was listened to him, but the people below, including food, drink, whore and gambling, had no doubt about their relationship with those big families. Anyone involved in the relationship network was trapped in a quagmire and could not advance or retreat.

In just ten days, Zhou Wentai felt deeply tired and embarrassed.

It’s not that he didn’t replace people or take ruthless measures to rectify them, but the person he replaced was the same as before!

Hongzhou Prefecture is a deep pool, which cannot be seen clearly or touched, and cannot be used at all.

At this time, Zhou Wentai stood under the eaves, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distant sky.

It is rare to snow in Jiangnan. In the heavy winter, the ice rain is scattered and the cold is surprisingly cold.

Behind him was a man in his blue cotton-padded jacket in his thirties, holding a thermos in his hand, and said with a smile: "Master, why are you discouraged?"

Zhou Wentai turned around and sighed: "It's not that you're discouraged, you just sighed. In Beijing, the words and deeds of the husbands are all the words "reform". At that time, I didn't think so, but I only understood it when I got here..."

The more the man smiled, he said, "The princes and princes were tens of millions of times more difficult than they are now."

The man's name is Han Zhengyi, who is the teacher of the Zhou family. He had a close relationship with Zhou Wentai and came to Hongzhou Prefecture with him.

Zhou Wentai smiled and felt more and more moved, saying, "It's not easy."

Wang Anshi's reforms aroused national opposition. Countless officials below impeached the court, such as Wang Anshi, Lu Gongzhu and others, also strongly criticized them. Even the Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang at that time cried to Emperor Shenzong, calling Wang Anshi a "disturbing ministers and traitors, causing trouble to the Song Dynasty."

It can be said that it is a miracle that Wang Anshi can last for so long and escape without hesitation.

Now, as the grand grandfather, Zhang Dun is very similar to Wang Anshi's situation. The difference is that the current officials do not have so many concerns and suppress the "old party" tightly, making the boss of the "old party" unable to speak out and object, and the entire "old party" also seems boring.

But the "Wang Anshi's reform" is far less in-depth and intense than the "Shaosheng New Policy".

Overall, the two phases before and after are the same pressure and difficulties.

The man held the small thermos in his hand and said, "Duan Zun, don't worry, the New Year is coming, and the anger from the court is almost over, and it's almost gone."

The two have discussed this topic many times.

Zhou Wentai was also convinced and said, "Sir, I think that the court has been in control for so long. Once it breaks out, what will happen to the Jiangnan West Road incident?"

Han Zhengyi shook his head slightly, his face showed a condensation, and said, "I can't guess this either. However, it was just a decision between two people. One was the official family and the other was the grand grandfather. The grand grandfather's method of handling was traceable. It was nothing more than vigorously rectifying the officialdom of Jiangnan West Road, and a great purge, and all of them were replaced by our people. But I can't guess the official family. Our official family has always been a ghost test and is very domineering. He has endured so long that the descending Jiangnan West Road must be the thunder that covers the entire Jiangnan West Road!"

Zhou Wentai nodded slightly.

He agreed with Han Zhengyi's words. Since the official took power, the dynasty has changed drastically. After careful recollection, it has been natural to make a step by step. It has been foreshadows and is very clear, but no one would think so.

So, what will the thunder that descends on Jiangnan West Road?

At this moment, a minor official came quickly with a carrier pigeon and said anxiously: "Main Master, a carrier pigeon from the Zhengshi Hall."

Zhou Wentai's face changed, he stepped forward to take it, and said while explaining, "It must be the teacher."

Han Zhengyi followed forward and said, "Master, here you are here."

Zhou Wentai shook his hand, then continued to untie it, took out the letter paper, and spread it out without any hesitation.

The content of the letter is very simple: it has been decided, Zong Ze led the Huwei army to enter, take charge of everything, and those who resisted the law moved to Qiongzhou.

The letter paper is too small, there are not many words, but there are a lot of content!

There were only Zhou Wentai and Han Zhengyi under the eaves, and both of them looked solemn.

Han Zhengyi thought something and said calmly: "Main Lord, this thunder is bigger than I expected. This Jiangnan West Road will completely change the sky."

Leading an army to take over everything, those who resisted the law moved to Qiongzhou.

All three are enough to shake the government and the country, let alone the three together.

Zhou Wentai looked at the letter, looked carefully, and kept thinking in his heart.

If this is the case, Jiangnan West Road may have to "moved" at least 100,000 people to Qiongzhou!

For ordinary officials, "relocation" means demotion and exile. Here, it is a place where the house is confiscated and exiled!

Second only to beheading!

Such actions are beyond the Song Dynasty, but they are unique in all dynasties!

Zhou Wentai frowned and said, "Sir, do you think this is really feasible?"

Exiled 100,000 people, isn’t this the officials forcing the people to rebel?

Han Zhengyi hesitated for a while and said, "It's okay to say that a Jiangnan West Road is the 23rd Road in the country, and those who oppose reformers have been suppressed for so long. Under the stimulation of the 'new law', big things will happen!"

Zhou Wen's front is as heavy as water. As a local official, maintaining his status stability is his first responsibility.

But according to this letter, if the "Shaosheng New Policy" is really implemented like this, the entire Hongzhou Prefecture will not have any peace, and there will be even be wars everywhere!

Zhou Wentai dared not imagine such a scene!

Han Zhengyi looked at Zhou Wentai, pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Glory Wang is still here, but I didn't mention it in Cai Xiangxin."

Zhou Wentai also remembered and said, "My teacher didn't say anything, I'm afraid this prince will cause trouble."

Han Zhengyi nodded.

Wang Cun is not a decisive person. He is simply mediocre on Jiangnan West Road. He fooled everything and was a "perfect" explanation.

This kind of explanation must have been fine in the past. But in today's world, it is definitely not up to date.

Zhou Wentai felt a little irritated and said, "I'll go to see him later. We... have to make arrangements early."

Han Zhengyi said calmly: "Now it's time to seize the time. In the future, Jiangnan West Road will change drastically, everything will be in the eyes of the court and the officials. If you don't do well enough, I mean you are not good enough, at least your career will be cut off! The Lord of the Mansion, this is an opportunity and a test."

Zhou Wentai was also a person who came from the reform of the Shenzong Dynasty and knew the dangers inside.

With his hands behind his back and looking at the gray sky, Zhou Wentai silently thought for a while, snorted coldly, and said, "That's more thorough. All the key points of each department are replaced by our people. Anyone who is not pure in mind will be dismissed. I use my relationship to transfer some of the inspectors, soldiers and other places. I want to take a few sacrifice flags for those gentry and wealthy families who are in distress with me everywhere!"

Han Zhengyi's eyes lit up and said, "The Lord of the Mansion, write a letter, immediately write a letter to denounce their crimes and demand that the entire clan be moved to Qiongzhou!"

Zhou Wentai was startled. When he asked to go up, he would be drowned by spitting.
