Ouyang Bian looked at his old father. His hair and beard were all white and looked a little old. Ouyang Bian couldn't help feeling sad.

"Dad, the army is a barrier to the Song Dynasty. If the army is like this, the Song Dynasty cannot resist the Liao Xia, which is like a wolf or a tiger. If they let them continue like this, the Song Dynasty will be in danger!"

Ouyang Xiu sighed: "But this is the case with this army. Zhenzong and Renzong can't do anything. Do you have any solutions?"

Ouyang Bian shook his head: "I will talk about this later. At present, the matter of clearing the land and acres of Zhangzhang must be implemented.

This matter is related to the majesty of the official family. Secondly, it is cleared to eliminate the resentment of the lower-level farmers.

I did not promote the reduction of land in Zhangzhang to increase the treasury income. Now the annual income of the imperial court is actually enough to rely on commercial taxes, and there is no need to expand the agricultural tax.

But because land annexation has become more and more intense in recent years, these acres have been found out and given to farmers who have no land to farm. If they can fill their stomachs, their resentment will naturally be eliminated.

This is not a small matter. Most of the subversions of dynasties and dynasties have been made.”

Ouyang Xiu nodded: "I understand what you mean, but the people behind him seem to be very powerful now. Even the imperial guards can influence them, and they are not afraid of them. This is not something that ordinary people can do."

Ouyang Bian frowned: "Dad, who do you think it will be?"

Ouyang Xiu looked into the distance: "The only one who can influence the army and is not afraid of consequences is probably the only one."

Ouyang Bian lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up suddenly: "Cao?"

Ouyang Xiu nodded with a tight expression.

Ouyang Bian took a deep breath and then let out another sip of turbid air.

Ouyang Xiu sighed: "Dad is old. In the past, my father was not afraid of heaven or earth, but now my father is a little impatient. I just hope you guys can do it well..."

Ouyang Bian felt his nose sore.

Heroes will be old. When heroes start to fear, it means that the hero is old.

Father, really old.

Ouyang Bian rubbed his nose and said in a muffled voice: "Dad, don't worry, although this is a big risk, I have confidence that even if there is anything, our Song Dynasty will not kill scholars. It's just exile... I have three brothers who can serve you, Dad."

Ouyang Xiu raised his head, looked at the youngest son who was tall and angrily smiled and said, "Little monk, Dad regrets it. When I was a child, I shouldn't have forced you to study or go to politics.

If you live a mediocre life, it is actually very good. Doing business, being rich and safe is actually quite good."

Ouyang Bian laughed: "Dad, you should regret it at this time. At this time, you have to blame yourself for not forcing me to study at that time, so that I became a businessman and became a vulgar."

Ouyang Xiu couldn't help laughing: "You boy, let's do it. Your father can live for a few years, so you can just toss it. You won't be demoted to the wilderness."

Ouyang Bian nodded with a smile.

Large pieces of burning clouds appeared in the sky in the distance, and the red ones were quite beautiful.

At this time, two sentences suddenly popped up in Ouyang Bian's mind - *******, **********.

Each generation has its own mission. Since they were born in this era and knew some things, they could not ignore them.

Although the shame of Jingkang was humiliating, it was not worth mentioning compared to the later fall of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The civilization of the Song Dynasty should have been even more brilliant, but it should not have been dim.

So, there are some things that have to be done.

Ouyang Bian received the Privy Council’s edict and summoned the Banking Regulatory Commission.

The edict was conveyed quickly through the special channels for the central bank's service area like sparks.

The number of banking supervision guards on the books has exceeded 10,000. This is because the central bank suppressed bandits everywhere in the southeast, and the original 5,000 people was not enough.

Now the central bank is preparing to develop the north, and the banking supervision guards have entered the north as early as last year and started to suppress bandits.

When the news was received, five thousand banking guards were suppressing bandits in Mizhou.

Five thousand cavalry headed towards the capital like a torrent of steel.

...

"Hahahaha, Ouyang Xiaoer was probably stunned. He would never have thought that the imperial guards would disobey the military orders of the Privy Council!"

Zhang Yuliu laughed.

Zhang Yuliu and Zhang Qizhong and his son are in the study room. The study room has always been the personal space of the head of the family. No one disturbed them here, so Zhang Yuliu did not hide his crazy attitude.

Zhang Qizhong was a little curious: "Dad, you knew about this in advance, so you just let the tribe members fight against the government?"

Zhang Yuliu nodded: "Your father is not stupid. What a crime to fight against the government. If there is no support behind you, is your father really the kind of person who only recognizes money but not people?"

Zhang Qizhong whispered: "Who is the person behind?"

Zhang Yuliu smiled and pointed to the sky.

Zhang Qizhong took a breath: "Official family?"

Zhang Yuliu glanced at his son: "Are you stupid? This time, Qingzhang was initiated by the official family. Can he oppose himself?"

Zhang Qizhong scratched his head: "Who else can it be?"

Zhang Yuliu was so sorry for her: "You, you have been raising you for so many years in vain. She has great power in the army and strength in the palace. Who else do you think can it be?"

Zhang Qizhong's eyes lit up: "Cao?"

Zhang Yuliu snorted: "I'm still a little clever."

Zhang Qizhongqi said: "I haven't heard of any relationship between our family and the Cao family. Why do they want to help us?"

Zhang Yuliu smiled, but did not scold her son anymore.

"Our Zhang family is the largest landlord in Chenliu County. The Cao family is the largest landlord in the Song Dynasty except the royal family. If our Zhang family is investigated, will the Cao family also be investigated in the future?"

Zhang Qizhong now understood.

This is reasonable.

It was originally not necessary to have such a big battle. It was all Ouyang Bian who did this matter so easily that all officials could not object. In the end, everyone could only go barely, which made everyone look very rude.

It’s all Ouyang Bian’s fault!

But after this time, I'm afraid no one will think about it in the future.

This is a one-time and for all.

However, Zhang Qizhong still had a little concern: "Dad, after this incident, will the government hate our Zhang family to the core? In the future, will the government kill us after Cao... go?"

Zhang Yuliu smiled and said, "Everyone in the world is watching. If you want to inflict a crime, there is no way to deal with it. Our officials in the Song Dynasty are all interested in face. This time, it will be passed. Our Zhang family does not become an official, and the officials have nowhere to take revenge."

Zhang Qizhong smiled and said, "That's true. The official family is the dragon in the sky. We are just sparrows on the ground. Even if he is jealous, he will still be jealous of the Cao family. He will not be jealous of our Zhang family."

The father and son smiled at each other.
