Chapter 762 Jiangnan West Road
The first year of Shaosheng, early June.
Zhao Xu and his group appeared in Hongzhou Prefecture and Nanchang County on Jiangnan West Road.
The sealing mirror on Jiangnan West Road can block other people, but cannot block Zhao Xu.
But this also alarmed some people, such as Li Kui, the Minister of War.
Li Kui accompanied Zhao Xu and walked around Nanchang County.
Li Kui was extremely nervous. He didn't expect Zhao Xu to come so quickly and suddenly.
Too many things have happened on Jiangnan West Road, and none of these things should be seen by officials today.
This is the worry of countless people in the government and the country.
They were worried that Zhao Xu would suddenly be shaken by the reform like the previous emperor Shenzong.
It was extremely terrible for the emperor to shake something. Emperor Shenzong's wavering of the reform directly led to Wang Anshi's two rescindings. Although the reform continued, it was not as firm as before. The party struggles became increasingly fierce, and the reform actually stagnated or even regressed.
Li Kui observed Zhao Xu's side face and said calmly: "There are many people who resisted the law and disrupted the law on the west road of Jiangnan. The matters of Governor Zong and others have been decisive in handling them and have been controlled..."
Zhao Xu walked casually and said casually: "I heard that some people whistle the mountains and forests, climbed high places and listened to each other. There were nearly 10,000 people, and they captured two prefectures and counties?"
Li Kui immediately tightened his scalp, bowed, his expression was solemn, and he quickly organized his words in his heart.
This incident happened only three days ago, and their memorial was still on the way. How could they have thought that Zhao Xu would suddenly fall!
Li Kui lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhao Xu. He said, "There are three reasons for the official family. One is that they are all landless refugees and are easily deceived. The other is that they have all experienced being bullied by powerful people. They are resentful but blamed the court. The third is that the reform has caused dissatisfaction among many people, and some people have instigated and stolen their intentions..."
Zhao Xu glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "Is there no reason for you?"
Li Kui's face tense, he raised his hand and said, "I... Sometimes I am too impatient and I will inevitably have some omissions."
Zhao Xu could see that Li Kui was not guilty of himself, but was doing Zong Ze and others.
He didn't say anything, continued to walk forward, looking at a newly built yard with undried mud, and said, "This is Nandali Temple, has it been opened?"
Li Kui glanced at it and said quickly: "Yes, it has been activated and many cases have been tried."
Zhao Xu nodded and said lightly: "Tell me what happened unexpectedly. If you say something different from what I know, I will paste you into the wall to appease the hearts of the gentry on the west road of Jiangnan."
Li Kui's expression changed immediately, hesitated for a while, and said, "The situation on the official family and Jiangnan West Road are a bit unoptimistic."
"Tell me in detail." Zhao Xu said as he walked.
Chenpi followed behind, looked at Li Kui, and then continued to lower his head.
Li Kui looked in front of him and said, "The official family and the gentry on Jiangnan West Road are connected together. They seem to be irrelevant, but they are actually connected with each other and are complicated. Whether it is institutional changes, or reforms involving taxes, land mu, etc., they have encountered many obstacles. From the officialdom to the people, boycotts are everywhere, and there are many people. If there is any slight disturbance, it will be a big wave..."
Zhao Xu had no expression on his face and listened quietly.
Li Kui opened up the conversation and there was no obstacle. He reported what happened in Jiangnan West Road in just over half a year, plus the disposal of Zong Ze and others and subsequent reactions.
Many things are not visible in the memoir.
Zhao Xu listened and thought.
As the reform deepened, there were always things that had never happened before, and every matter made him have new ideas about the new law.
Of course, this is not a wavering, it is just that it will be better if it is handled.
Gu Zhi
‘Sure enough, there are no two identical leaves in the world, and there are no unchanging people and things.’
Zhao Xu kept thinking in his heart, without saying a word, and kept listening.
Although Li Kui was talking, he actually kept observing Zhao Xu's expression.
Zhao Xu's expression was very calm and he had no reaction, so he had to continue talking cautiously.
Nanchang County is not big.
Li Kui accompanied Zhao Xu for a long time and said a lot.
During this big circle, they moved to the front of Nanchang County.
Chongzhen looked at the dilapidated yamen and said, "It's okay to move to Nanchang County."
Seeing that Zhao Xu finally spoke, Li Kui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The official family, in fact, Governor Zong has many ideas and wants to present it to the official family in person."
Zhao Xu glanced at him and suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, don't be so nervous. Three orders will be sent over to the Zhengshi Hall soon. One is that all the gentry who resisted the French on Jiangnan West Road will be moved away, and the location is not Qiongzhou Prefecture and the Dali Kingdom of Haili. In addition, Lu Huiqing conquered the Qingtang land. I plan to move at least three million people to Qingtang, plus the cultivated lands in various places. Qiongzhou, Dali, Qingtang, these places will accommodate six or seven million. This is not only the matter of Jiangnan West Road. The second is that the support and efforts of Jiangnan West Road reform will also be supported by the Consultative Yuan. The third is that it will give Zong Ze greater power, and you will know at that time."
When Li Kui heard this, he was stunned and didn't know how to reply for a moment.
Zhao Xu looked at the Nanchang County Government again, continued walking forward, and said, "Zong Ze... I'm gone. I'll turn around and then set off for Chengdu Prefecture Road to take a look. Just pretend that I haven't been here, and no one has to say."
Li Kui was even more stunned and said, "The government, don't see the governor?"
He couldn't guess the reason and was always worried that Zhao Xu might be dissatisfied with Zong Ze and the situation on Jiangnan West Road, and was shaken by the new law.
"It's gone, I'm in a hurry, I have to hurry back to Beijing." Zhao Xu said casually.
Li Kui became more and more worried.
In fact, he didn't know when Zhao Xu entered Jiangnan West Road, how long had he been, where had he been, and who had met.
‘Li Yan, you must have seen him?’ Li Kui thought to himself. Li Yan was the inner supervisor in the palace and should have been summoned as soon as possible. Li Yan had been on Jiangnan West Road for a longer time than Zong Ze, and Li Yan knew almost everything they knew.
Zhao Xu didn't say much and took his group back to the restaurant.
In addition to Li Yan, Zhu Xie was also waiting in the restaurant.
Zhu Xie had no other emotions except for his respectful expression.
Li Yan was surprised and nervous, and he was almost kowtowed.
Zhao Xu glanced at Li Yan and said, "Okay, there's nothing to do with you, Zhu Xie, stay."
Li Yan actually wanted to stay very much. His adoptive father Yang Jian was no longer in the palace and he had no support. He originally wanted to curry favor with Zhao Si, but Zhao Si went to Dali. Tiandaji was summoned by Zhao Xu, so he naturally wanted to please him.
But seeing Zhao Xu say this a little displeased, he could only respond unwillingly.
After entering the room, Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and said to Zhu Xie: "I heard that you have tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land now and tens of millions of yuan in property?"
Zhu Xie's scalp was tight and his expression was still. He took out an account book and a list from his arms and said, "When he returned to the official family, he was rewarded by the official family, and he dared not take too much. These are the account book and list of those who bribed the villain. Please check it out."
Zhao Xu held the teacup and turned around with a weird expression, looking at Zhu Xie, who was holding the account book with his head down.
‘Good guy!’
Zhao Xu really didn't expect that Zhu Xie had such a trick.
