Lin Jue smiled on the side: "Do you two plan to talk on the dock until dawn?" Aren't we going home? ”

"Of course, Green Dancer, in the same car with me. Let's talk as we go. I have a lot to say to you. The little county lord held Green Dance's hand and smiled.

Green Dance could only nod helplessly, and the sudden enthusiasm of the little county lord made her a little confused. Lin Jue sighed secretly in his heart when he saw this situation. In these years, the status is different, and the treatment is naturally different. It's not that the little county lord was snobbish, the little county lord was also very good to Green Dance before. It's just that today's enthusiasm is excessive, but it seems a little unnatural. This shows that the little county lord is a little unbalanced in his heart, and it seems that he needs to have a good chat with the little county lord about this matter. Lin Jue didn't want the little county lord to worry about anything, and he didn't want her to have an excessive psychological burden.

When she got into the car, Lu Wu remembered that she hadn't seen Xiaohu and them, so she asked, "What about Xiaohu and the White Girl?" Why didn't you see it? ”

Lin Jue smiled: "The two of them went to do something for me, and they will be back in a few days." ”

Lu Wu said with a sigh: "Qianqian was supposed to come tonight, and Sister Xie was also coming, but I persuaded her to go back." They are rehearsing a new drama, and they are tired enough. I don't want them to stay up late. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "It's right." In the middle of the night, why do you toss so many people to greet you? It's never too late to see you tomorrow. ”

Midori nodded, retracted her head and stepped into the carriage. Lin Jue stepped onto the horse and waved his hand. The group headed north along the brightly lit street.

……

The news of the drowning of Kang Zizhen by Guo Bing, the king of Liang, had actually reached the capital a few days ago. Hearing the news, the two bigwigs of the Ordinance Department were stunned. Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru have been in a good mood recently, and after resisting the ferocious attacks of the opposition faction, the spring of the faction has suddenly arrived. The implementation of the two new laws is in full swing, sweeping the entire territory with a seemingly unstoppable momentum.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the new law, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru selected a large number of new officials and took a one-size-fits-all action. However, those who are not attentive to the implementation of the new law or who do not implement it effectively will be replaced. As the saying goes, 'if you don't change your thinking, you will change people', and under the guidance of this kind of thinking, a large number of state and county chiefs have been replaced in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty. A large number of previously unknown officials have been promoted and reused and have stepped onto the political stage. Among them, there are officials who want to do things for the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army of the Great Zhou, and of course, there are also speculators. In short, there are all kinds of fish and dragons.

Yan Zhengsu is not unaware of the drawbacks of promoting and appointing officials in large numbers without careful examination. But they don't have a good solution for the time being. The consensus reached by the two is that as long as the new law can be promoted, it will not be too late to carry out internal rectification and purging after the implementation of the new law is basically completed and has become a new normal policy. What needs to be done now is to use this force to comprehensively promote the implementation of the new law.

The results have been encouraging. The first disbursement of the official loan silver stipulated in the "Changping New Law" this spring has reached more than 15 million taels, which means that by the end of the summer, the interest will be rolled up to 3 million taels. The two official loans issued throughout the year have an interest income of 6 million taels alone, which has increased by more than 10% compared with the fiscal and tax income of the whole year.

A more direct effect is the introduction of the Employment Law. The collection of exempt and auxiliary money is like developing a big gold mine. In less than three months, 9 million taels of money have been collected from the exempt and auxiliary forces. This is still under the unfavorable situation of the collection of assistant money. If all of them are collected in accordance with the provisions of the new law, the annual collection of silver taels will reach 145 million taels.

Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru made a calculation. If everything goes well this year, the fiscal and tax revenue for the whole year will increase by 50 percent on the basis of last year's more than 60 million taels to 90 million taels. This will be the first time in nearly 30 years that the imperial court's fiscal and tax revenues will approach the level of the Great Zhou fiscal and tax revenues in its heyday. If the development continues at this rate, it will only take three years to greatly improve the situation of the deterioration of the fiscal and tax situation in the Great Zhou. The overstretched financial situation will be resolved in an all-round way. Da Zhou's financial situation will be greatly improved. A lot of things that you want to do but can't do will be solved.

Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru told Guo Chong about this account, and Guo Chong was extremely excited when he heard it. If he can achieve the result that Yan Fang and the others said, then his achievements in this dynasty will surpass that of the previous dynasty. If the blueprint of enriching the country and strengthening the army can be realized, he will undoubtedly become the most outstanding and wise emperor of the Great Zhou, comparable to and even surpassing them in the Han Wu and Tang Sects.

Of course, all kinds of discordant messages and voices are also there. Negative caused by various variations. News also poured in. Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru couldn't stop it if they wanted to. After all, the political hall is still in the hands of Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai. They collected all over the negative about the change. The situation was also sent to Guo Chong in the form of a summary report. Although Guo Chong was very reluctant to see these news, he could not ignore them. Therefore, every three days, when these negative news were sent to the palace, Guo Chong's mood was not good that day. It's like the labor pains of production, every three days, Guo Chong has to go through some labor pains. It didn't seem to have much impact on his determination, but the impact was subtle, and Guo Chong didn't even realize it.

Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru can't manage so much for the time being. As they have always given. The so-called severe use of fierce medicine, fierce medicine will naturally bring some negative effects, which has long been expected. The question is whether you want to live or give your life for fear of these negative effects. In order for Da Zhou to be able to love and come back to life, the price must be paid. Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru saw these negative effects as a price that must be endured.

On the whole, the implementation of the new law has been largely smooth. When the hard bone of assistant money was overcome, the two new laws were basically successfully implemented. And Yan Fang and the others are very optimistic, feeling that this day will come soon. The breakthrough of the assistant money was only in the blink of an eye. Now only some royal officials are holding up, and those low-level officials and local wealthy families have begun to pay. And the imperial relatives and senior officials are actually watching each other here, as long as there is a breakthrough, it will collapse.

However, what I never expected was that at this juncture, the news suddenly came that Kang Zizhen, the prefect of Hangzhou, was drowned by Liang Wangye. This was an extremely heavy blow to Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. Because of Kang Zizhen's outstanding political achievements in Hangzhou, although the assistant Qian has not yet been able to conquer the hard bone of Liang Wangfu, there has been considerable progress in other aspects. This made Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, who had doubts about Kang Zizhen's ability, very pleased.

In a sense, a large state capital like Hangzhou plays a benchmarking and exemplary role. It is also in line with the guidelines of 'leading areas from point to point' in the implementation of the new law. The merits of Hangzhou Mansion are also the model state capitals that Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru kept mentioning in front of the emperor. Of course, mentioning Hangzhou is also to maintain the exposure rate of Liang Wangfu to a certain extent, so that the emperor knows the news of Liang Wangfu's refusal to cooperate. Now, Guo Bing actually openly drowned Kang Zizhen, which is simply unbelievable. Kang Zizhen is a member of the four ranks of the imperial court, and he is the official of the shepherd side, not to mention that Guo Bing has no power to dispose of him at all, even if he has this power, he needs to report to the court for decision, not kill without permission. Moreover, this is just a case of murder beyond the power of authority, which is obviously a barbaric attack on the new law, and the court and the new law are completely ignored.

Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru could not tolerate it. As soon as the two got the news, they entered the palace to face the saint, and proposed to Guo Chong to thoroughly investigate the cause of the matter, severely punish the murderer, and maintain the authority of the new law and the authority of the imperial court.

Of course, Guo Chong is also very angry, his brother has been dormant for a few years, and he is very well-behaved, this time he actually made a blockbuster, killed a local official, and is a cadre who implements the new law, is it finally unable to hold back? Guo Chong's first reaction was that this time he finally had a chance to grab his handle and deal with him. Although his younger brother seems harmless, he always feels that he has the city in his chest and is planning something. I am always not at ease with him. If there is a chance to go to this threat, I will definitely do it.

However, Guo Chong thought about it seriously and decided not to make a reckless decision for the time being. If you want to move King Liang, you must not make a holy decree yourself, otherwise you will leave a reputation that cannot be intolerated by your own brother. If you want to move him, you must make King Liang become the finger of Qianfu in the name of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and he has to dispose of him to appease the anger of the people in the world, that is the best result.

Guo Chong appeased Yan Fang and agreed that Fang Dunru would send officials from Yushitai to Hangzhou to investigate the cause and effect of the incident. At the same time, he was also waiting for official news from Hangzhou, and then organized a court meeting. The orientation of the court discussion was characterized as Guo Bing's lawlessness, overstepping the rules and exercising power, and undermining the implementation of the new law of the imperial court's century-old plan. By the way, Guo Bing collected all kinds of small things in the past, such as collecting money in Hangzhou and opening a green building, and gave Guo Bing more than a dozen major crimes. In that case, it would be logical for him to come forward again and say that he had to deal with Guo Bing.

Guo Chong knows that none of this is difficult. Lu Xiang and Guo Bing are not in harmony, and this time he will definitely not help Guo Bing speak, so there must be one-sided criticism in the court discussion. The things of Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains will be turned up. Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru did not suffer from personal attacks, but the charge of obstructing the new law was what they cared about the most. Therefore, no one can save his brother this time.

Guo Chong had even thought about what to do with Guo Bing. Although killing him can be a hundred, he can't afford the eternal infamy of killing his own brother. Unless Guo Bing is dizzy and does something rebellious in order to avoid punishment, then it is logical. Otherwise, you can't kill. Then the whole family was relegated to the bitter cold land of the northwest. After the destruction of the Western Xia Kingdom, there has been no restlessness there, so he asked him to go to the Western Xia Kingdom, to those places that are perennially filled with wind and snow and yellow sand, and let the soldiers and horses guarding the Western Xia watch him. That's no different from killing him.
