If the imperial court really reformed the military system and trained a large number of new troops to replace the original forbidden army, the interests of these military and military families who had lived by fighting wars for generations would suffer great losses, and they would probably withdraw from the political arena of the Northern Song Dynasty.

As the saying goes, blocking people's financial path is like killing their parents, and the reform of the military system not only blocks people's financial path, but also cuts off the future of other people's families.

There are already people who can't help but come to take revenge, and as soon as they hear the news, they will be ruthless against themselves. As long as they get rid of themselves, the dog-headed military advisor who always gives the emperor bad ideas, they can keep the family wealth and wealth, and they can pass it on from generation to generation, and they do not hesitate to collude with the enemy country for this.

This also confirms Hong Tao's previous thoughts, many officials in the Northern Song Dynasty were not born traitors, nor did they have to destroy their own country, but they were not very clear about the concept of home and country.

When faced with the dilemma of choosing one of the two, I can't help but choose the interests of the family first. This is an ideology, which is the truth in the eyes of the ancients, and they did not feel that it was a mistake, and naturally they did not reflect on it.

"So that's it?" Fuji knew that what the colt said was right, but she was not too willing to let it go, and always wanted to give her opponent a counterattack.

"Actually, this is a good thing, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for us, and it is not too careful in terms of security and defense in the future. You accept awards on behalf of your officer, and then use this as an example internally, making sure that most people understand the importance of security. The assassin was crippled anyway, and hanged himself at the gate of Weiqiao Town, hanging on a pole as a sign of his kindness. The official will also inspect the workshops, try to finish it today, and return to Huangzhou with the convoy tomorrow. ”

Originally, Hong Tao wanted to stay in Weiqiao Town for a few more days, although Gao Cuifeng had managed well in the past two years, it was not as good as his own direct command, and some future plans had to be changed.

But as soon as this incident was stirred up, Hong Tao felt that it was better to go back to his nest quickly. The world is too dangerous, there are invisible enemies everywhere, and there is a future of fart for losing your life.

Those technical problems can be solved by themselves in Huangzhou, and it is a big deal to send other craftsmen back to convey their ideas, and it will be slower if it is slow.

As for the safety of Weiqiao Town, Hong Tao is not very worried, even if he is replaced, the emperor will not abolish this industrial base, pig iron, steel and various metal processing products, whether or not he is a good thing.

Gao Cuifeng's loyalty doesn't have to worry, it's not that he is completely trustworthy, but whether he is loyal to himself or not is not in the way. Weiqiao Town is already a clear move, not so much to control it in his own hands, but to watch the stall for his eldest brother.

Gao Cuifeng can't cover the sky with one hand here, and there is the crown of water tiger wings to contain it, plus the craftsmen, the left-behind Wang 11 and Wang 16, and the very uncertain forces of Zhou Ri's father, anyone who wants to play tricks can't hide it.

At the end of February of the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Lord Shuaisi, who had been ill for nearly two months, finally appeared in Huangzhou City again, personally presided over the ploughing ceremony, and also awarded bonuses to several large planters and horse herders last year to encourage everyone to let go of their hands and feet and prepare for a better tomorrow.

Looking at Lord Shuaisi, who has a good face and is full of neutrality, the people of Huangzhou are a lot more down-to-earth, and the rumors that have been permeating Huangzhou during this time are also self-defeating.

I don't know where it came from, it was said that Lord Shuai Si was punished by God for killing too much, so he got a strange disease, just like Wang Zhongzheng and Tong Guan who died at the beginning of the year.

Hong Tao didn't mention the rumors in public, so he didn't hear anything, which made the people more convinced. But in private, he is not confused, this kind of rumor must have been deliberately spread by someone.

The claim that Wang Zhongzheng was suffering from a strange illness was made up by himself, and now there are people who use their own tricks against themselves, and they can't sleep without checking it clearly.

"Are you sure it's from these three firms?" Compared to being helpless with the Assassins in Weiqiao Town, it was much easier for Hong Tao to know what to know in Huangzhou.

Wang Twelve's Inspection Division and Wang Shi's Flower Paste Workshop, one in the light and the other in the dark, respectively provided the information obtained from the two aspects, and as soon as they confirmed each other, the outline of the target was basically outlined.

Since there was a canning factory in Huangzhou City and transparent glass was burned in Mawei City, the number of merchants from the mainland gradually increased. Most of them rent or buy a stall in a department store in the city, and then rent a local house to live in and sell their specialties to the mainland.

At the same time, some cloth and fruits will be trafficked from the mainland, but until the road to Lanzhou is repaired, the amount of goods sold in will not be large. After all, they are not like the Water Tiger Wing, which is escorted by the army, and there are no box trucks available, and long-distance transportation of goods that are not very profitable is equivalent to losing money.

This is also the main reason why Hong Tao did not build the post road from Liangzhou to Ganzhou, but opened the road to Lanzhou first. If the traffic problem is not solved, unless Huangzhou produces gold, there is no profit in trafficking, and it will not attract too many merchants.

Hong Tao is still very tolerant of these merchants from the mainland, regardless of the type of goods, all adopt a tax rate of 1 out of 10, and adopt a single tax system in the whole Ganliang Road and Huangzhou. As long as the tax has been paid in one place, you can pass freely with the tax stamp, and no more taxes can be collected.

As for the details of these merchants, Hong Tao didn't have time to investigate them carefully, and it was originally just a flower paste workshop led by Wang Shi secretly doing some screening work.

However, the children's league and youth league under Wang Shi did not have many people, and it was not until Wang Shi's inspection department had been established that the work of household registration and identity files was officially established.

The rumor was the first major case they solved, and three men from inland businesses became the main suspects, and their treasurers were also involved.

These three firms are from Chang'an, Luoyang and Zizhou, which seem to be quite far away on the surface, but Zizhou is simply far away in Chengdu Prefecture, so there should not be much intersection. But in fact, the shopkeepers of the three of them secretly communicate very frequently, and even if they don't meet in person, there will be guys walking around each other every few days.

Rumors of a strange illness were spread by two of the guys, and they were initially spread in a small area in department stores, but slowly spread as people bought and sold goods.

It can't be said that it makes people panic, and there are also a lot of side effects, and even affects the loan work on Mondays and Sundays. Many locals who had planned to take out loans to buy farm tools at the beginning of spring suddenly changed their minds and planned to take a look.

If Hong Tao comes back a month late, these people will probably miss this year's spring ploughing opportunity, and they will have to wait a year if they regret it, which is equivalent to slowing down Hong Tao's new policy in Huangzhou in disguise.

"Will they doubt this guy's death?" Wang 12 and Wang 10 obtained the exact same information, first through the local people secretly traced the direction of the rumors, most of the people in Huangzhou did not dare to tell nonsense when they saw the children's group and the youth league, and they knew the methods of these half-grown children and the relationship with Lord Shuaisi.

After having a general goal, the two of them joined forces, secretly arrested all three suspects, and came to a conclusion after a sudden interrogation. The other two who caught the wrong one were secretly released, and they tried their best to ask all the remaining owners clearly, and then caused an accident that frightened the horse and trampled people to death.

"No, this guy had an affair with a widow who planted flowers outside the city, and we did it near the widow's flower field, using the widow's horse. It's just that I got someone to get the widow drunk that night, hehehehe......"

After saying his arrangement, Wang Shi couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile. I guess in addition to the drunken widow, that man must have done something other than a child shouldn't have seen.

There are so many of these people in Wang Shi's hands, and the captives in the flower paste workshop are about to be tortured crazy by her, and they can do whatever they want, and sell their newborns without blinking. Not only can't you resist, but it's a sin to bring up this thought in your head.

And after she had these helpers, she became even more unscrupulous, and all kinds of indiscriminate tricks came out one after another, and this time she actually used lustful temptation. It's not that beautiful women are seducing strong men, but it's the other way around.

"......" looked at Wang Shi, who had a good face and a little shyness in his every move, and Hong Tao thought of Wang Er in Liangzhou again. These two things are really the same thing, deceiving the dead and not paying for their lives. How can you marry someone in the future, whoever marries them has to fight in the ancestral grave, it's too sad.
