Li Gang's words made everyone stop talking, and their faces were also covered with a layer of haze, the strength of the group of people in Western Xia was the biggest blow to them, although the Yanjing family suffered some damage, but the Yanjing family still had Jiang Kui, as well as Han Shizhong and others to maintain, even those protégés of Changru in the north were only implicated, and they were not purged.

However, the Bianliang family suffered great damage this time, almost all the officials related to the salt administration were dismissed, and the officials of commercial taxation and river rivers were either belittled or reprimanded, and in this year's assessment, the ratings of Jiangnan officials were almost all below average.

Many emerging bureaucratic families in Jiangnan were also weakened, and their weakened forces were all occupied by these subordinates of the Western Xia.

Jiangnan accounts for more than half of the world's taxes, which makes all dynasties attach great importance to the disposal of Jiangnan, but at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the Jiangnan family who killed was rolling, and now I am afraid that they will not let go of Jiangnan.

Thinking of this, everyone's faces were even more difficult to look at, and their faces were full of worry.

"Zong Shuai, what should we do now?"

Everyone looked at Zong Ze, this old minister has a great prestige, Zong Yun'er has added a big prince to His Majesty, looking at His Majesty's intentions, he should be established as the prince, and Zong Ying is in charge of the newly established Yulinwei, plus the Kelie Department and his party, he has established meritorious service, and he also has a certain right to speak in the military, so only Zong Ze can compete with Jiang Kui and others, and naturally he has become the backbone of everyone, even Li Gang also looked at Zong Ze with a solemn face.

Zong Ze looked at everyone and said lightly: "There has been news from the palace recently, Your Majesty has been in retreat in the Dragon Head Palace, and all the edicts are ordered by the ministers outside the palace, it can be seen that the matter of Changru in the north has greatly touched Your Majesty, at this time, Your Majesty is an injured dragon, and he is extremely sensitive to anything, haven't you seen that the Bashu officials headed by Yu Yunwen are extremely careful?" Even those officials in Xijing are more careful in dealing with the affairs of the grassland, and the most important thing is that the Qilin Pavilion has been greatly damaged this time, and all the scholars are deeply ashamed, and any flaws will be held onto, not to mention those things in Jiangnan that go against His Majesty's wishes!"

Zong Ze said this, looked at many ministers and said: "Let go when it's time to let go, salt administration and tea tax are just trivial matters, as long as you follow Your Majesty's wishes, make concessions in this matter, and make a humble appearance, Your Majesty will definitely thank us for our loyalty and make concessions in other matters, don't forget the affairs of Goryeo, Fusang and Nanyang, as well as the trade routes of the Western Regions have been developed, and the ancient silk road has flourished!"

Speaking of this, Zong Ze took a sip of tea, looked at the minister who was still a little angry and unwilling, and said: "Zong Ying recently secretly received a fleet on Qiongzhou Island, and the entire fleet was damaged, but it also brought a huge piece of news, I heard that he also brought back a lot of good things, and when the old man and Lin Guozhang were chatting, I heard that some people came back from the north and brought back a lot of auspicious rui, and recently they have started trial planting in Lin Guozhang's field!"

"Fleet and Xiangrui?" Zong Ze's words made everyone frying, and they lowered their heads and discussed, this is a top-secret news, maybe there is some secret hidden.

When Zong Ze heard the words of these people, he said lightly: " His Majesty's meaning Lao Chen understands, let Zong Ying go to receive this fleet, but also to remind us, if we do well, maybe this is a new wealth, now our fleet to the south of the farthest distance is only near the bay of the Great Food Country, and this road is not too smooth, there are many pirates of the big cannibals, presumably you do not have the heart and financial resources to reach more distant places, as for Xiangrui, the old man is not clear, but I heard that some big families in Guanzhong have already obtained the right to plant, and the people of Bashu and the interweaving are also applying, and we Jiangnan know nothing。 ”

Zong Ze's words made these people's hearts suddenly startled, and they became even more lively.

"That's it, the stakes are at stake, you can figure it out!" After Zong Ze finished speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand and put on a posture of giving people away, many ministers saw Zong Shuai's appearance, and they no longer bothered, and left one after another, they also felt anxious about these two news, if Zong Shuai was not wrong, maybe His Majesty was brewing a big event, or even a change.

And that auspicious thing frightened them, Guanzhong and Bashu both knew, why didn't they know about it in Jiangnan, could it be that His Majesty was wary of them.

Now they are not worried about the promotion of officials, but about the prosperity and decline of the family.

When these ministers left, Li Gang did not leave, but looked at Zong Ze and said, "Zong Shuai, what is Your Majesty's attitude towards Jiangnan?"

"What other attitude, rectify it, and beat it again, if these people still hold on to their wealth, then knock out a batch, after all, the entire Jiangnan is the center of taxation, and it must not be lost, and now that the family has been destroyed, these wang clans have risen again, Your Majesty can't put your mind at ease, and now Your Majesty has mixed sand with the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and there will be more and more courtiers from the Western Xia, Jurchens and Khitans and even foreign courts, and Your Majesty wants to establish a prosperous era of great unification, these people are indispensable!"

"Is Zong Shuai comforting me? I don't have any personal grudges against Li Yancheng, but I am a little sensitive to his identity, although the Western Xia retreated to the outside of the pass, but it still exists, especially when I heard that the Western Xia is fighting through the army, and the ministers are working hard because of the passage to rush from the Yumen Pass, marching to the west and the old land of Tubo, collecting the population and land, and the strength is recovering very quickly, if there is a rebellion in the court, it will be troublesome. When Li Gang said this, he sighed softly: "The eldest Confucian prince has served the Great Song Dynasty for twenty years, and he has followed His Majesty to establish today's prosperous era with his own hands, isn't it a betrayal?

Zong Ze looked at Li Gang, reached out and poured the tea on the table on Li Gang's teacup and said with a smile: "Bo Ji, this is because of choking and waste food, the Great Song Dynasty is now a galloping carriage, armed with the civilization of thousands of years in China, if anyone tries to stop it, it will be crushed, no matter how strong the Western Xia is, there is no need to be afraid, even the Western Regions are in His Majesty's calculations."

And a barbarian who has been crippled by us, retreating and retreating again and again is no longer worth fearing, although the North Changru betrayed His Majesty, but he also did his best for the Great Song Dynasty, without them, His Majesty will spend more strength to act, Li Yancheng and others As long as they enter the Great Song Dynasty, they are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is impossible to betray, they are ordinary people, not the monks of the North Changru. ”

When Li Gang heard Zong Ze's words, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he smiled at Zong Ze: "The old man understands today, Zong Shuai is here to persuade us." ”

"Boji, don't you still understand, our majesty is following the prosperity, and the rebel is perishing!"

Zong Ze said lightly, which made the wry smile on Li Gang's face even heavier.
