When the second year of Xining arrived, Wen Yanbo was now the leader of the Political Affairs Hall, Fu Bi was the second prime minister, and four members of the General Secretary Zhang Fangping and Wang Anshi formed a new generation of ruling team. The Privy Council was made by Zhao Yan as the Privy Council.

Just after the New Year, Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers finally arrived in Bianjing.

The Su brothers had a yard that Ouyang Bian gave to them in Bianjing, but they still came to Ouyang Bian's home to live for half a month.

Su Shi went to the Censorate to take office, while Su Che asked Ouyang Bian to persuade him to join the group of Tianmu in Qingzhang.

Compared to Su Shi, Su Zhe is a pragmatic person. His joining the Qingzhang Working Group is conducive to learning more things.

All forms are moving in a positive direction.

Today's political affairs halls are all people who support Ouyang Bian.

There is no need to say much about Fu Bi. After all, he is his father-in-law, Wang Anshi is his teacher, Zhang Fangping has received favors from Ouyang Bian, and Wen Yanbo is a relatively acceptable person and has little desire for power.

Therefore, Ouyang Bian was highly supported by the Zhengshitang during the process of implementing the land clearance of Zhangzhang.

Especially Wang Anshi, although Ouyang Bian did not establish a program, did not make innovations and publicity, and he acted so cautiously that he thought he was a little timid.

But the matter of clearing the land of Zhangzhang was under steadily implemented, so Wang Anshi was still willing to patiently support him.

Although Wang Anshi did not agree with some things, he believed that Ouyang Bian had made too much concessions to the landlord during the process of clearing the throne.

Especially after checking the land, they were only asked to pay taxes instead of nationalizing the land, but he still recognized Ouyang Bian in some aspects.

For example, Ouyang Bian seems to be quite iron-fisted when punishing the people who are involved.

——Whether you accept bribes or accept bribes, you will be severely punished.

As for Ouyang Bian's continuous addition of people from the central bank to the local bureaucracy system in this process, several ministers from the Political Affairs Hall still quite recognized it.

However, some people believe that Ouyang Bian is growing his party members, and local officials also believe that Ouyang Bian is too unkind during the implementation process and has signs of severe punishment and ruthless law, and constantly write to the court to complain.

For Ouyang Bian, these are just a problem with scabies.

The Song Dynasty Weekly continued to interview people from all walks of life in the area after the completion of the Qing Dynasty, but the conclusions they came to were completely different.

For the farmers at the bottom, they were extremely supportive of the court's practices and believed that Wen Yanbo was a [a good minister not seen in a century].

——They didn’t know that Wen Yanbo was just named, and the real host was Ouyang Bian.

For those wealthy merchants, they are very supportive of clearing the land and acres because they have no land themselves. Some of the land and acres found this time are distributed to poor farmers and some are sold to merchants.

Luxury merchants can not only buy land, but also do business such as farm tools, agricultural fertilizers, etc., and after farmers have income, they also expect that their consumption will be more dynamic in the coming year, and they are very supportive of this.

As for the landlords, they dare not scold the streets, but they vaguely said that this was a harm to the Song Dynasty, because this time, the landlords of Qingzhang were hurt by the group of people who loved the Song Dynasty the most, etc.

The reporters of the Song Dynasty Weekly all wanted to laugh.

Overall, the public's evaluations are both good and bad, but the overall comments are positive, because the Song Dynasty Weekly is firmly controlling public opinion.

In the second year of Xining, Ouyang Bian benefited a lot.

First, the matter of clearing the fields of Zhangzhang has achieved great results. This year, he presided over the clearing of several non-military areas in the north. The results were excellent and released about one-third of the fields.

This means that in the new year, one-third of the tax revenue will be available.

Second, Fu Jianjia gave birth to a fat son for Ouyang Bian.

These two things made Ouyang Bian happy for a whole year.

At the end of the second year of Xining, Ouyang Bian presided over the year-end report of the Qingzhangtianmu working group.

Those present at the meeting included Zhao Xu, four bigwigs from the Political Affairs Hall, bigwigs from the Privy Council, bigwigs from the Sansi Department, and Hanlin Bachelors were all present.

——The land mu in Qingzhang was the focus of the work in the Song Dynasty in recent years.

"... In the second year of Xining, the working group followed the cleavage of Jingdong East Road, Jingdong East Road, Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, Hedong Road, and Jingxi North Road.

A total of 1.928,000 hectares of hidden land were found, of which 680,000 hectares of hidden land were found for poor farmers, and 1.248,000 hectares will be taxable next year!"

Reported by Lu Huiqing.

Everyone present had some changes in their expressions.

This has added taxable fields to nearly one-third of the existing fields.

If so many taxes had increased in the past, it would have been very quenched.

"...In addition, the working group's plan next year is to clear the land across the country. According to current statistics, about 5 million hectares of land will be found at that time, and the land available for tax collection can reach more than 3 million hectares. With the current four million hectares, there will be 10 million hectares of land that can provide taxes!"

"hiss!"

The people present took a breath.

This is not a matter of quenching thirst.

Even now, it will account for a considerable share of the annual income. With such a large amount of taxes, there are too many things to do.

"However, during the inspection of the fields, the working group found that the water conservancy facilities in various places were seriously damaged, and many fertile fields could not be cultivated due to water shortage.

Therefore, if water conservancy measures are improved, the per mu yield will increase as a result, and the grain produced will increase by about 30% now, which can support more people.

Therefore, our working group recommends that the construction of water conservancy facilities be put on the agenda next year, so that losses can be greatly reduced in the event of drought and floods and reduce the risk of reduction in revenue.

Our working group will provide the relevant research reports to the Political Affairs Hall and the Three Divisions later, and my report will be completed."

Ouyang Bian took the lead in applauding, and the applause from the house immediately rang out like thunder.

Wen Yanbo whispered to Zhao Xu and said, "I didn't expect that this matter would be done by Your Majesty. Your Majesty is really a promising wise ruler!"

Zhao Xu was a little embarrassed: "Wen Xiang praised it. These things are the credit of all the ministers and Ji Mo in the Political Affairs Hall. I am just supporting you."

Fu Bi smiled and said, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Without Your Majesty's strong support, Ji Mo would not have done this."

"That's right, Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision!"

Zhang Fangping also smiled.

Wang Anshi generally does not praise others and does not speak much when he is around.

The summary meeting was very exciting because it was a great breakthrough. Compared with those Qingzhang who gave up halfway during the Renzong period, this time, Qingzhang has far surpassed the past in terms of scope and results.

The key is that there is no problem in clearing the land of Zhangzhang in the next step, and it can probably be regarded as a foregone conclusion.
Chapter completed!
