Once a scholar becomes aware of his heart, he is even more ruthless than an ordinary martial artist. When a martial artist is angry, he can only draw his sword to kill people. The scholar not only needs to kill people, but also needs to kill people.

As the governor of Yizhou was transferred to Hezhong Prefecture, Li Ze showed great tolerance and patience towards Ding Jian, and Ding Jian also made up his mind to turn Hezhong into an improved version of the new Yizhou.

He was originally a rich family and served as the governor of Yizhou for several years. He also had a deep understanding of Li Ze's new policy. In his heart, he had long created an improved version of the new policy. In his opinion, Li Ze's fatal blow to the old order would cause great damage, and his improved version would be able to unite all forces to the greatest extent.

He went to Hezhong to take office with confidence.

Then, his confidence encountered setbacks again and again here.

Ding Jian forgot that whether it is Li Ze's new policy or his improved version, they are based on the damage to the interests of the landlords and wealthy families. Li Ze used a knife to destroy the old order, while Ding Jian wanted to use gentle means to let these people save interests to those poor people and achieve the ideal state of harmony in the world.

But why should vested interests save the benefits?

People's hearts are greedy. They want to have something without it, and they want to have more.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents!

Ding Jian's new policy encountered various open and secret oppositions and resistances in the river, and after a year, he achieved nothing. Seeing that the harvest in the wealthy river was better than that in Mozhou and Shuozhou, which were not as good as those in the local prefectures that were destroyed by war, Ding Jian finally became anxious.

Of course, there is no money in the river. When spring sows and summer grows, Ding Jian saw a scene of a bumper harvest.

Where did the food go?

Where did the money go?

Of course, it is the warehouse of those wealthy families.

Ding Jian squeezed out a little profit from these people's pockets like squeezing toothpaste, and his face was a little numb.

The reason why Ding Jian was completely murderous was caused by two things after the beginning of winter.

One is the smuggling and selling of food.

Under Li Ze's rule, grain was used as general equivalents to stabilize prices. The price of grain was restricted by the court, and it was not allowed to sell grain at high prices. In Li Ze's early development stage, he even bought grain from other places at high prices and then sold it to the people under his rule. The large deficits could only be made up for it from elsewhere. But it was precisely because of the policy that Li Ze's jurisdiction was extremely stable at all times. In recent years, with the expansion of territory, the construction of water conservancy projects on a large scale, the roads were smooth, and God was very proud of it, and the harvest year after year made the grain price stable. At the most difficult time this year, when Luzhou and Weizhou were just captured, the green and yellow people suddenly increased a large number of people. At that stage, thanks to Jin Mantang's purchase of a large amount of grain from Jiangnan to stabilize prices.

Therefore, grain is the fundamental point for the Zhenzhou court.

Although there has been another bumper harvest this year, looking at the entire Zhenzhou government, it is actually not very abundant. It is barely enough.

But at this time, in the river of harvest, he was unwilling to take out the food.

Because they found a channel for selling grain at high prices.

Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an and established the pseudo-liang. This not only angered the Zhenzhou court, but also greatly dissatisfied the princes in the south. For a moment, the grain in the south was stuck and no longer transported along the canal to Chang'an and Luoyang. The territory under Zhu Wen's control, including the 800-li Qinchuan, reduced production on a large scale due to the war. In fact, even if the production was not reduced, these grains could not support the millions of people in Chang'an and Luoyang.

For a moment, the grain prices in Chang'an and Luoyang grew rapidly, which was more than ten times higher than those in Zhenzhou. Moreover, with the advent of winter, the prices are still rising.

Three times the huge profit is enough to make people crazy, let alone more than ten times.

The wealthy families in the river took risks, and the direction of Chang'an was in urgent need of food. The two sides hit it off and carefully opened a smuggling channel. A large amount of food was smuggled out of the river and sold to Chang'an and other places.

A month ago, this smuggling passage was seized by Ding Jian, but the wealthy families in the river were very quick and hundreds of people were silenced, which made Ding Jian unable to find conclusive evidence to nail these people to death.

The second thing is the incident of poisoning in official grains.

The wealthy families in Hezhong kept the grain and did not sell it. They did not bother to speculate on the price of grain. Ding Jian transferred the grain from other places and sold it at a fair price by the supply and marketing cooperative. These people actually bought a local staff member in the cooperative at a high price, and mixed the grain into the food. The food was eaten to death. The supply and marketing cooperative became a rat crossing the street for a while, and even the government government offices were full of money. When Ding Jian found out the truth, the person who was poisoned had already escaped and fled to Chang'an and other places.

Through these two things, Ding Jian finally realized the situation he was facing, and he finally became interested in killing.

It was also at this time that Gao Lei, who was far away in Wuyi, handed him a knife handle.

Or these wealthy families in the river also knew that the situation was getting more and more critical. At this time, they finally remembered their former Hezhong Jiedushi Gao Lei, but Gao Lei did not enter the oil and salt. For Gao Lei, he sold all his land to the government and then took his family to Wuyi. How could he get mixed into the river like an ink tank?

Since Gao Lei could not be persuaded, these people reached out to Gao Lei's sons. The beauty threw down the money and dragged the Gao family members down the water. In the incident of smuggling food, Gao Lei's sons had a share. Fortunately, Gao Lei discovered it early, so he broke all his sons' legs with a stick.

Gao Lei, who was shocked and angry, naturally knew the seriousness of this matter. He was so angry that he finally tore off his last affection and handed over the secret evidence of some people to Ding Jian.

Ding Jian used these evidences as a breakthrough point and killed him. By the end of the year, he had arrested hundreds of people. During the search of the house, more and more evidence of collusion with the fake Liang was turned out from under the water.

Finally, I couldn't sit still in the river.

The private connection has now become an open appeal. If Tu Lichun hadn't been in charge of the river, Ding Jian might have been torn to pieces by these people.

"Now there is conclusive evidence that these people join the fake Liang." Tian Bo said: "More and more evidence shows that this whole incident was planned by Jing Xiang, with the purpose of forcing these big families in the river, including deliberately leaking some evidence of smuggling food in the river to Ding Jian. Jing Xiang's time was very accurate. This period of time was exactly the time when the Tubo people invaded a large-scale invasion. Jing Xiang might not care about the life and death of these big families in the river, but he could drag Tu Lichun's Zuowei Guard tightly in the Hezhong Mansion. We even suspect that Jing Xiang had secretly organized an army to enter Hezhong Mansion when necessary to support these families who were preparing to rebel, or it is true that these ignorant guys in the river took risks. They probably thought that if it succeeds, they could take Hezhong Mansion to the fake Liang, and if it fails, they could also escape to Chang'an."

"Jing Xiang is really a character!" Li Ze praised Jing Xiang's methods very much. "He listened to the thunder in silence. These great heroes in the river were used to the extreme. As long as the situation in the river could hold us back for several months, it would naturally be extremely beneficial to them."

"In this situation, Jingxiang believed that Ansui Du Youcai would definitely not be able to withstand the Tubo people's overwhelming attack. He even believed that if the Hedong army pushed up, it would not be an opponent of the Tubo people. It was amazing that it would be a stalemate. If Tu Lichun's Zuowei Guard was pressed into the river and could not move, the situation in Hedong would naturally be in danger. At that time, we had to mobilize other troops to support Hezhong. The threat to them would be at its lowest point, and they could also concentrate their efforts to develop south. They are now eager to obtain food and wealth from the south."

Li Ze glanced at the distribution map of the river power presented by Tian Bo in his hand and shook his head: "This is the power of the sect thieves! Look, once the entire river is activated, it will be chaotic everywhere!"

"Young Master, don't worry, everything is in control." Tian Bo said: "Once there is movement in the river, within ten days, the inner guard will cooperate with General Tu to destroy them all with lightning speed."

"Where is the army of the pseudo-liang?" Li Ze asked. "Can we eat it at will? After Jing Xiang has done so many things, how can we not be rewarded?"

"Young Master, it is mainly to quell the civil strife as quickly as possible. As for whether you can earn some extra money, it depends on the opportunity. If the people sent by Jingxiang are not alert enough, I think there is still a great opportunity." Tian Bo smiled and said, "I am going to set off to the river immediately."

"Go!" Li Ze waved his hand: "If we don't break the old world, we will not be able to re-draw a new map of the river according to our ideas. The blood that should be shed always has to flow. I think Ding Jian finally understands this. After he finishes this matter, he can transfer him back to the center so that he can understand our policies more deeply. This person will be very important to us in the future."

"I hope Ding Jian can understand the hard work of the young master for him through this incident. He cultivates a certain person like the young master, and does not hesitate tolerate his mistakes again and again for this, but his subordinates met for the first time."

"It is rare that a direct descendant from a great southern hero joins us. How can we not manage it well? Others have a fortune in horse bones, but I don't care about the fortune in horse bones, let alone this person is indeed talented." Li Ze laughed.

Tian Bo hurriedly left, and Li Ze slowly walked out of his office. The wind outside was still thirsty, but the hot water was igniting in his heart. The curtain of another big show slowly opened. When the show ended, he could be said to have completely gained a foothold and truly be able to look at the world.
