Zhao Xu was struggling to apply medicine to his butt, and Hu Zhongwei brought Li Ke to the door.

"Don't come in, talk outside." Zhao Xu said with some difficulty.

Hu Zhongyi was stunned and looked at Li Ke.

Li Ke was not surprised, and raised his hand to the door and said, "Report to the official family, I have a young daughter, and I want to follow you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Xu said, "It's okay, Hu Zhongwei, arrange a room for the girl from Li Qing's family."

Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, the official family."

"Yes." Hu Zhongwei responded and took Li Ke away.

Not long after, Li Ke brought his daughter to Zhao Xu's boat. The little girl was repeatedly warned by him, but she was obedient and did not walk around, and followed Li Ke immediately.

Li Ke was even more lawful, basically staying in the room and waiting for Zhao Xu's edict at any time.

But Zhao Xu did not give him a message. He felt much more comfortable when he applied the medicine on his butt. He was already sleepy and fell asleep in bed.

He was a little sleepy and tired, and was half asleep and half awake, which was really uncomfortable.

His fleet walked again, down the river, aiming to be the canal of Jingdong and East Road.

On the other hand, Chen Pi continued to pretend that Zhao Xu was still in the imperial carriage, and led the army to Jingdong Road, which was slowly heading to Weihai.

At this moment, Zhao Tian’s affairs were constantly fermenting, and the "Nine Lords" focused on appeasement, and the various yamen worked together to make efforts, with different statements, but they were similar.

‘Why do you need to make a fuss when a young scholar writes a letter?’

‘Everyone has the power to write a letter, and even if it is a bit excessive, he cannot be convicted for his words.’

‘The state and dynasty treat scholars preferentially, so do Zhao Tian, ​​and cannot be harsh on it.’

‘Don’t expand, not extreme, you must look at it rationally…’

But this could not stop the surging tide at all. Zhao Tian's memorial was completely cursed by the soldiers, and the bad policies of the Song Dynasty were attributed to "scholars expand, erode the national treasury, deceive the emperor from above, suppress the people from below, and the leader of all evil."

Even though the "New Party" is also a scholar, this secretly meets the needs of the "New Party" reform and can add another stepping stone to the "New Party" reform.

Therefore, the difference between Li Qingchen and Wang Cun demanding severe punishment of Zhao Tian at the same time is also obvious. Li Qingchen wants to consolidate the overall situation, while Wang Cun protects the interests of the "old party".

Two more days later, after Zhao Xu's modification, the joint newspaper of the Political Affairs Hall and the Advisory Council was finally issued.

The main purpose of this mansion is to correct the name of "reform".

Zhao Xu is taking advantage of all the big and small events that have happened to constantly rectify the "Shaosheng New Policy" and reverse public opinion. This time the same is true.

At this time, Zhao Xu was still floating on the river.

The fleet was walking very slowly and had not yet reached the ferry that was heading south.

On the deck, Zhao Xu and Li Ke were playing chess.

Zhao Xu had a rare leisure time, with snacks and wine at hand, so he almost had music.

There are two people watching chess, Meng Tang behind Zhao Xu and Li Qing behind Li Ke.

After several days of getting along, Li Ke has discovered that although the official family in front of him has the domineering aura unique to the emperor, they are really approachable and do not have the majesty they imagined. They are not particular about the details and are easy-going in many things.

At the same time, he also discovered that the official's chess skills were really not very good.

Li Ke gave in without hesitation, his expression relaxed, and his heart was alert.

Li Qing now knew that Zhao Xu was a current official. At first, he was a little scared, but now he smiled when he saw Zhao Xu, looking very knowledgeable and well-educated.

Zhao Xu played chess, but his mind stopped playing chess, and said, "The Qing family has just read the memorials transferred from the capital. Zong Ze and others have made great efforts to promote cool methods on Jiangnan West Road. At present, there are nearly 100 large gentry households and more than 10,000 exiled people. This kind of thing has never been established in the Song Dynasty. I don't know it outside. Once it is spread, it will be a rocky mountain..."

Li Ke just picked up the chess piece and bowed slightly unconsciously.

He saw it, shocked and uneasy.

Now seeing the official's questioning, he looked thoughtful and quickly prepared to speak in his heart.

Zhao Xu took a piece of snack and slowly stuffed it into his mouth without rushing.

In just a short moment, Li Ke said: "The official, I believe that although some people on the West Road in Jiangnan have angered each other, they are always wronged and should not be treated in such an indiscriminate manner."

"If it were you, would you do this?" Zhao Xu did not think it was offended and slowly fell down.

Li Ke pondered for a while and said, "If it were me, I would take some people, kill chickens to warn monkeys, shock the law, and obtain the greatest effect with the smallest influence possible."

"I've used it, there are still hundreds of top households in the Chu family." Zhao Xu picked up the wine and took a sip.

Li Ke also knew, and looked a little hesitant, saying, "If it is a minister, he will continue to kill the leader only, and the rest will be forgiven, govern, and the people's hearts are the best."

Zhao Xu nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's your time."

Li Ke quickly looked at the chessboard, picked up the chess piece, and then looked at Zhao Xu quietly.

Zhao Xu held the wine pot in his hand and said, "It is an inertia that you do this. All the officials in my Song Dynasty do things like this. But you must know that the 'Shaosheng New Policy' is different from the past. It requires officials to carry on the past, overcome obstacles, and be different from the past. The previous methods are not applicable. Jiangnan West Road is not a whole way, but a microcosm of my entire Song Dynasty. You cannot discuss things on the matter, but have a view of the overall situation. Jiangnan West Road's means are not for Jiangnan West Road, but for the entire Song Dynasty..."

Li Ke bowed and made a listening statement.

After saying this, Zhao Xu said, "The Royal Bill is my inner treasury. I am not trying to use him to make money. One of the purposes is to solve the inconvenience of using copper coins. However, the national treasury is empty. The inner treasury has borrowed 50 million guan to the Ministry of Revenue. Now, the Ministry of Revenue continues to use money. The donation order issued by the court has only raised 100,000 guan, of which half were from the palace."

Li Ke was stunned and stunned.

First, he didn't know that Zhao Xu's topic was changed so quickly, second, the national treasury was empty, and third, he mentioned the donation order.

Li Ke didn't know how to answer the conversation or which part to answer for a while.

Zhao Xu sipped another sip of wine and said, "You said, are those gentry really not rich?"

Li Ke bowed and lowered his head. This time he knew what he said, but he didn't dare to answer.

The scholars of the Song Dynasty were not ordinary wealthy. Ordinary seventh-rank officials could become rich and rich in one or two years after entering the officialdom. They could have everything they wanted.

If those people are really willing to donate, it is only a matter of time before they exceed tens of millions of dollars.

Zhao Xu got out of the blue and said, "Your family, what's the use of these scholars in the Song Dynasty?"

Li Ke felt chills behind his spine and became more and more afraid to say anything.

The official's words in front of him still returned to Zhao Tian's two memorials.

After Zhao Xu made a move, he looked at the chessboard and was a little dissatisfied and said, "What happened on Jiangnan West Road cannot be summarized in a simple word. Some of the actions of Zong Ze and others were approved by me, and some were instructed by me. Overall, they were not wrong. What kind of thought do you think those who impeach Zong Ze and others have?"

Kill the heart!

Li Ke couldn't open his mouth even more.

Meng Tang stood behind Zhao Xu, his face tightened and he didn't dare to breathe.
Chapter completed!
