Class contradictions are irreconcilable.

Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

Pei Ju felt that Li Ze summed it up very incisively.

To put it bluntly, his Pei family used to be a big family, a clan force entrenched in the local area, and it was also the stubborn disease of the empire that Li Ze said, and the class that had to be knocked down to the ground and then stepped on two feet.

There is still some discomfort in his heart, but now, he doesn't care, because of his Pei Ju's desperate resistance and refusal to surrender, Pseudo Liang has already shoveled his Pei family from the roots. Now, he's a loner.

Moreover, in the years of Weizhou's administration, a series of policies in the north have now blossomed, as an old and somewhat ideal official, he really saw the political communication of his dreams.

The people no longer regard the government as a flood beast, but the government as an object that can be relied on, and this change is the most obvious. Pei Ju, who was the long history of Luoyang in the past, knew that the last thing the people wanted was to go to court, not to mention ordinary people, even wealthy families, and tried their best to avoid such things, even if there was a contradiction, they would seek other solutions. For example, relying on their respective clans, relying on virtuous intermediaries to reconcile. As a last resort, no one will sue the government and ask the government for arbitration.

Because once you sue the government, it is very likely that both sides will suffer a big loss, but you will get nothing. After eating the plaintiff and the defendant, this is a normal thing in the old government.

But in Weizhou in the past two years, the number of lawsuits in the yamen has increased sharply. Big and small things, the common people are used to finding the government to preside over fairness for themselves, and some things are completely trivial in Pei Ju's opinion.

But the young magistrate who graduated from the Law School of Wuwei Academy and was in charge of prison proceedings was very happy, even if he was required to try cases day and night, and he was so tired that he had two dark circles under his eyes every day, he still said to Pei Ju happily: "The people trust the government, and this is the greatest success of the imperial court." And what these people can do is to live up to the people's surname and the trust of the court. ”

This magistrate not only sat in the yamen to try cases, but even brought forth the new, and every month on a fixed date, he would take his subordinates to those remote places to accept the people's complaints.

The actions of this magistrate have earned Pei Ju the reputation of a Qingtian lord, because Pei Ju is the highest administrator of Weizhou. All the actions of subordinate officials will be automatically added to Pei Ju's body by the common people.

And the innovative measures of this official named Chen Xuan made Weizhou once a star state capital under the rule of Wuyi, and the Datang Weekly reported on this latest measure to avenge the people's grievances for two weeks, and Chun Yuyue, the head of the criminal department and the supreme person in charge of formulating various laws, even went to Weizhou to investigate the matter in person.

It was originally a personal move by Chen Xuan, but now it is ready to be implemented nationwide.

Pei Ju even thought that he could get the position of the governor of Hedong this time, and this move also added a lot of points to himself.

All the facts also prove that all the current policies of the northbound movement can indeed greatly alleviate or resolve the class contradictions mentioned by Li Ze.

Indeed, the common people have become rich.

The local economy has indeed come to life.

There is no longer the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the past, but the treasures in the treasury, whether it is silver taels or materials, are also abundant day by day. Now Pei Ju is very sure in his heart, even if he suddenly suffers a natural disaster, he has sufficient resources to stabilize the place, maintain peace above the place and quickly restore the people's livelihood.

This was unimaginable when he was the long history of Luoyang. At that time, what he was most afraid of was the punishment of God, a natural disaster, can make all efforts come to naught, refugees are the biggest enemy of the government at any time, a careless, will cause a civil uprising.

And what you want to calm the refugees is actually very simple, just stuttering, but at that time, it was so difficult to do this.

In the past, Pei Ju thought he was an enlightened gentleman, an honest and honest official, and a good person who was willing to give, but even for a person like him, the tenants owned by the family, and those who depended on the Pei family to survive, the wealth they possessed was extremely pitiful, at most the kind that could survive. And if the lord's family were a little harsher, then those ordinary people would undoubtedly be in dire straits.

It is precisely because of the ashes of his home and these stark contrasts that although Pei Ju still has some resistance to Li Ze's assertion in his heart, he has to admit that Li Ze is right.

However, being able to govern Weizhou does not mean that it can govern the whole of Henan. Compared with the vast Henan, Weizhou can only be regarded as a small thing.

The forest is big, but there are all kinds of birds.

The situation he will face is many times more complicated than that of tiny Weizhou. If you don't do it well, you won't be able to become famous, and it is very possible to lose your reputation.

In fact, it is not impossible to have a similar situation with Henan, for example, Hezhong a long time ago, and then Liangzhe, which was defeated by the Tang army not long ago.

But Pei Ju didn't want to take the approach of the above two.

When Ding Jian was in the river, he first adopted the method of reform, but he suffered a humiliating defeat. It also corresponds to Li Ze's assertion that class contradictions are irreconcilable.

Cutting off people's wealth is tantamount to killing your parents! But what's more, this time it is not only the financial path of these people that is cut off, but also their glory and wealth?

Therefore, Ding Jian adopted an extremely cruel method, using various means to persecute and induce those people to make mistakes constantly, and then grabbed the handle, raised the butcher's knife, killed a land that was white and clean, and completely cleaned up the area in the river.

To a certain extent, Ding Jian is the same kind of person as Pei Ju, and everyone is the beneficiary of the old system.

And Xu Xiang is now in Zhejiang, but he has taken another means.

This former bandit, who has been a member of the dynasty and has been a member of the dynasty, has a bandit breath in his bones, so from the very beginning, he danced the knife loudly, killing one today, slaughtering one tomorrow, and strongly implementing the northland policy in Liangzhejiang. Of course, this also makes the current Zhejiang not very peaceful. Western Zhejiang is better, but in eastern Zhejiang, because of the support of the Xiang clan forces entrenched in Jiangxi, Fujian, rebellions have been constant.

But on the whole, the policy of the Northland is still moving forward slowly but firmly.

And what kind of strategy Pei Ju wants to adopt to implement the national policy of the imperial court after he supervises Henan, is what he has to consider now, which is why Li Ze talked to him in advance.

Henan's status is actually extremely special, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as the hinterland of the Central Plains. If the land of Henan cannot be governed well, it will definitely affect the operation of the entire empire.

"You need to map out your governance strategy for Henan as soon as possible and report it to the center, and whether you can really supervise Henan in the end depends on the center's evaluation of your governance strategy." Li Ze smiled: "You also know that I can't cover the sky with one hand. ”

"My subordinates will do their best." From Li Ze's words, Pei Ju smelled something again. That is, the center is probably controversial about its own position. It's no wonder that they are not the descendants of Wuyi, and the central power is basically in the hands of the Wuyi lineage, and promoting a person of their own is probably what they want most.

But obviously, Li Ze didn't think so.

As a person standing at the top, Li Ze's idea is undoubtedly right, any leader is afraid that he doesn't want to have only one faction and one voice under his subordinates, so it is too easy to set the leader in the air.

"You joined the Yixing Club last year, right?" Li Ze asked suddenly.

"Yes." Pei Ju nodded.

"After taking Chang'an, the Yixing Society will hold its first plenary meeting in Chang'an, and now the headquarters of the Yixing Society is planning this matter, as for how to select representatives from all over the country, the plan will also be introduced soon, but there is no doubt that the members of the Yixing Society on the ruling side will inevitably become one of the representatives." Li Ze looked at Pei Judao. "This conference is very important, and there are many things that we have to discuss at this conference to determine our future governance strategy, so when you have time, you should also think about this aspect. Yang Kai and the others have already copied some related things to you, right? ”

"Yixing sent a briefing in this regard. It's just, it's just Li Xiang, do you really want to hold a conference like this? With all due respect, this is not a good thing for your authority. Pei Ju said cautiously.

Truth be told, he almost jumped in shock when he saw the contents of the top-secret briefing. The first reaction was that the Yixing Society wanted to rebel. But when I thought of the details of Yang Kai and Cao Zhang, I knew that this must be impossible, thinking that Li Ze had a secret meeting with the two in Zhejiang not long ago, then the answer was obvious, the initiator of this matter was Li Ze himself.

This made him unable to figure it out.

How can anyone think that their power is too great and want to divide power? From ancient times to the present, any emperor seems to only think that his power is too small and wants to control everything by himself.

He was even wondering if Li Ze was fishing!

Fish out of the crowd those who really think about it, and then ruthlessly suppress it. It's not impossible! You must know that Li Ze now has absolute military power in his hands, and to do this is as easy as pinching an ant to death.

As an old official who has gone through the vicissitudes of the sea, he can't be allowed to think about it too much, because this matter has exceeded his normal cognition.
