In the morning court, he was majestic, with bronze and iron bones, and beautiful beards. Just one look at him will make people believe that this is the first general of a majestic general.

Tong Guan, whose courtesy name is Daofu, was the largest eunuch in the Northern Song Dynasty and the only eunuch in the Northern Song Dynasty who could be in the court and participated in the government affairs. All civil and military officials privately called him the prime minister, and Cai Jing, one inside and one outside, assisted Song Huizong to control the entire court's troops and decrees.

He is well-behaved, has a good attitude, and is good at scheming people's hearts. Everyone around Song Huizong said good things. Although Jiang Chen slandered him many times, except for the beard that made Song Huizong feel fucked, it almost did not affect him.

Not only that, Tong Guan also held a grudge against Jiang Chen!

This time he returned in a hurry to stop Jiang Chen from going to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion and control the military power!

But before he could leave the list and attack, the largest landlord in Shandong, Kong Duanyou couldn't help but jump out and bow to Song Huizong:

"Since the remeasurement of land, officials and gentry landlords have been exposed for fear of concealing the land, so they have left fertile land and abandoned inferior land, resulting in a significant reduction in the reported cultivated land area;

The people were worried that the gentry and landlords would take back the land in the future and bear additional taxes, so they did not dare to accept the government's distribution.

If it continues to be implemented, it is afraid that a large amount of land will be lost in the coming year, leaving tenants in the world with no land to rent or plant, which will lead to refugees everywhere, and the country will be in chaos!”

The Kong family concealed the largest number of land acres in the country. Almost 70% or 80% of the tenants in Shandong are working as free laborers for their old Kong family. If the terrifying land acres of land acres are announced, he believes that it will have a great negative impact on the Kong family.

In addition, he has been kicked out of the Royal Chamber of Commerce by Jiang Chen. Even if he supports land reform, there is no benefit to get it. Instead, he will become the person with the greatest losses.

Therefore, in order not to be highlighted and to avoid losing the fundamental interests of the Kong family, he has been spared no effort to undermine the land reform policy.

Meng Kui and Wang Xiaodi, who were also kicked out of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, also had the same thoughts as him.

They all came out and said: "It is a turbulent move to spread the people into a mu. The lessons over the years have long proved this point! Now that it is just the beginning, there are frequent rebellions in all parts of the world. If you don't call for a stop in time, it will definitely affect the spring planting next year!"

"Yes, this move will not only not increase the taxes of the court, but will also lead to the loss of farmland and the loss of livelihoods of the people. It is really not worth the loss!"

Some Confucian officials came out to agree.

They had previously passively supported land reform because doing business with the Royal Chamber of Commerce is more profitable than farming. Now with the encouragement and instigation of the Kong family, they wanted to get it both with fish and bear's paw!

Seeing so many people standing up to support him, Kong Duanyou returned to his former spirit and looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.

However, Jiang Chen was still alive and had no intention of arguing with them.

Because although he promoted the land reform, he did not have the strength and foundation to continue to implement it. Now the person in charge and the person in charge are Cai Jing and his gang.

To put it bluntly, his Royal Chamber of Commerce can supervise the salaries of its members to the people, and almost nothing can be involved in anything. Right and wrong, merit and demerit are all Cai Jing's affairs!

When Cai Jing saw that these people dared to stop him from making this achievement that would be worthy of all ages, he was also anxious!

He went out directly and said: "As far as we know, the leaders in inciting trouble in various places were some Confucian students and rural gentry who had a lot of land at home!

These people want to become members of the Royal Chamber of Commerce to earn income, and want to continue to report land and evade taxes. They are really selfish, without a monarch and father, and disrespectful villains of the court!

As long as one is severely punished, one is killed to warn a hundred, and one is seized and distributed to the people, the chaos will be quelled! What's the point?"

While speaking, Cai Jing glanced at Jiang Chen with a strange look.

Because the matter of seizure of family wealth and distributing it to the people was Jiang Chen who offered him advice through Qin Hui.

Although this method can indeed calm the civil unrest as quickly as possible, it will offend countless clan gentry gentry. At first he did not want to adopt it.

But when Qin Hui smiled and said, "Cai Xiang, in fact, from the moment you presided over the land reform, you have been with the Kong family forever. They have compiled folk songs that insulted you and sang them everywhere. How can you not hate you even more now?

Why not imitate Jiang Chen and use the convenience of wealth to differentiate and win over the people of the Confucian school? You should know that you have the final say how much property you have been searched and how much it has been distributed to the people!

When this achievement is achieved, not only will you be famous in history and eliminate the slander of Confucianism, but your descendants will benefit greatly!’

When Cai Jing heard this, he immediately agreed, so he said this.

"Check out the property of the landlords and gentry and distribute it to the people? Is this to use us to appease the people's hearts?"

The officials who supported Kong Duanyou were immediately frightened and sweaty on their foreheads. They didn't think Cai Jing was joking, and they couldn't help but shrink back in fear.

"Absurd, it's simply ridiculous!"

Kong Duanyou was furious and jumped up and said angrily: "How can a great grandpa say such a ridiculous word?

Don’t you know that Confucian students and landlords and gentry are the foundations of my Song Dynasty? Did Cai Xiang forget about Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao? Are you trying to force students all over the world to imitate Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao?”

(Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao were arrogant and talented, but failed the exam many times. In addition, they suffered some grievances and oppression, so they turned to Xixia and eventually became the prime minister and important minister of Xixia, causing great harm and lessons to the Song Dynasty.

This led to the Northern Song Dynasty's direct reform of the imperial examination system in 1057, and the palace examination implemented an admission system that was eliminated at the end, and anyone who passed the Jinshi was awarded the title of Jinshi!

Even if the imperial examination results may not be very good, they will be awarded the same Jinshi as the Jinshi and try to prevent the recurrence of literati defection and use by the enemy.)

Everyone knew about this and knew that this was the one that Emperor Huizong of Song was most afraid of.

So Wang Xiaodi and Meng Kui agreed with a smile: "No, right! For the sake of the stability of the country, Confucian students can only comfort themselves with kind words and must not be too slow. Otherwise, if there are a few more Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, who can bear this responsibility?"

this?

Cai Jing frowned solemnly and was stopped!

Song Huizong also showed concern.

Jiang Chen smiled mockingly, "According to Master Kong, Confucian students cannot punish them no matter whether they incite the people to cause trouble or openly unite to resist the court's policies?

Once punished, your Confucian family will surrender to the enemy country? Then is this world the official family or the Confucian family? Or is it the world of your Kong family?"

"Yes! As the leader of the literary world and the helmsman of the Confucian sect, Yan Shenggong did not teach his disciples, but instead threatened the officials and the court with rebellious words. What is the reason?"

"Is this what your Kong family calls the way of saints?"

"Don't you listen to the words of your saint in the Kong family, and you will riot the court and plan to rebel?"

Lu Yihao, Zhu Yinian and Gao Qiu all looked at Kong Duanyou coldly.
