When Shen Mo began to govern, although he wanted to gradually advance political reforms, he gradually introduced new policies.

But on just the first day, the three reform measures he announced caused a stir among the people and the court.

This proves that his plan to proceed step by step is actually correct.

Because the ancients did not have extremely rich information as much as modern people, it was often difficult for the people to understand the changes in state government orders, and they could not even hear the correct explanation.

On the other hand, the rumors and speculation from the people spread very quickly and can easily cause extremely bad effects.

Therefore, in ancient times, a small policy change was often aroused uneasiness to the people.

Because according to their experience, this is often a good opportunity for officials to work together and use policy changes to plunder people's wealth and wealth.

The situation this time was obviously different. The day after Shen Mo announced the three political reforms, Lin'an Daily published several huge pages to explain Shen Mo's rule and political reforms this time.

The content published this time is also unique, which makes Lin'an people who bought newspapers refreshed.

...That morning, when the shouts of newspaper boys gradually faded away on the misty streets of morning fog.

In a teahouse in Lin'an street market, everyone couldn't wait to open the newspaper.

This teahouse offers breakfast, so early in the morning was filled with scholars wearing Confucian scholars, merchants dressed in beautiful clothes, and the elderly and small Lin'an people came here to eat.

When the boy passed by just now, many people bought newspapers.

Now that they opened it, they saw the front page of the newspaper that the government decree announced when the head of the Song Dynasty was in power on the first day of yesterday.

In this regard, the policy of preferential treatment of the Zhao Song royal family surprised the tea guests in the hall.

Two businessmen who had come here to have breakfast together were already playing the newspaper with their hands and loudly praising the head of state's kindness.

The voices of these two people were really not small, which attracted the Confucian scholars around to look at each other. During this issue, some people also showed disapproving expressions.

The two wealthy businessmen then studied the following decrees. The first two were fine. When they came to the third one, they read that the road guide system was abolished in the entire Song Dynasty and all the people could travel freely.

One of the wealthy businessmen slapped the table with a "slap" and slapped it, shaking the soup bowls and spoons on the table.

"What a benevolent government!"

One of the wealthy businessmen said with a bright face: "Every year when I go to business, I don't know how much brains I have to worry about when I go to business!"

"If you walk halfway, those roads will be wet by rain and sweat, causing the handwriting to be blurred. The governments and soldiers along the way will immediately strangle their necks and blackmail you!"

"It's great now. No matter where you go, there is no need to lead the way. This will save us countless troubles!"

When he heard him talk about this, the wealthy businessman sitting opposite him had a contemplative look on his face. He immediately asked the fat man who had just spoken: "Even so, even though the head of state issued a decree, I don't know how long it will take to spread throughout the world.

When will we go out to go to business so that we can completely avoid opening road guides in the government?”

"What do I care about him?

Anyway, this is the head of state’s decree, who dares to violate it?”

The wealthy businessman who was just talking said with confidence: "When we go out to do business next time, I will bring this newspaper with me."

"If anyone dares to ask for a way forward in the future, we will throw this newspaper into his face! I asked him to open his dog's eyes and take a look. This is the decree issued by the head of state on the first day of his tenure! Whoever dares to be vague unless he is desperate!"

Hearing his words, the businessman who was walking with him immediately said yes, and his face couldn't help but show joy.

...And at this time, a few scholars dressed in the same place looked at the two wealthy businessmen.

One of them shook his head and said, "It turns out that it is a businessman who is seeking profit, it is really a villain who is aware of it..." "Hey?

How do you speak?"

Unexpectedly, the wealthy businessman who was speaking just now heard the scholar's words clearly.

He asked loudly, "Who do you think is the villain?"

"Do you understand, just talk nonsense?"

The scholar turned his head and said to the merchant, "Do you know when the country was first established, where did this road-guiding system come from?"

"oh?

This..." The businessman was immediately speechless when asked. His eyes were circulating, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The scholar picked up the teacup leisurely and said to the merchant: "This road-guiding system is usually established to prevent thieves from roaming and robbing and killing people everywhere. This is to restrain those who commit crimes!"

He said while laughing: "In this world, there are only monks, such as monks and Taoists, who can travel around the world without using a guide to the road.

Another thing is that scholars who have passed the provincial examination and have fame can study in the world without any guidance."

"The monks here will not cause harm to the world, and scholars are even more upright, so all dynasties have looked at us differently, but now...hum!"

At this time, when the businessman heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry! Hearing the words of the scholar, he obviously still disdained them and other merchants.

When the merchant couldn't suppress his anger, the scholar continued, "In addition, this road has other functions."

"If someone evades taxes and labor service, or if the farmers who have no way to live in the deserted years walk around and cause the flood of refugees, that's a big deal!"

"It's these refugees who have done many acts of killing officials and rebelling in all dynasties. If there is no constraint on Lugui, what would it be?"

"snort!"

When he heard this, the wealthy businessman had not spoken yet, he saw a cold snorkeling coming from a corner of the teahouse.

...When everyone turned around and saw a white-haired man in his sixties sitting at the table having dinner with his grandson.

His clothes looked very simple, and he also had a shiny shoulder pole leaning against the edge of the table.

Obviously this is a farmer who goes to the city to sell vegetables and has just finished his business.

He saw that he looked straight and did not look at the white-clothed students. Instead, he said to a child: "Grandson! Our family can't read all the books into the dog's belly like some people!"

"Whenever the people's family did not have enough food to starve to death during the famine, the tax collectors still tried their best to exploit and force them.

Even if you want to go out to beg for food, you will struggle to find a way out.

Without road guides, you will be driven everywhere like a wild dog!”
