In the Song Dynasty, there was no law or order.

Chapter 114 You guys voted really fast

Outside Guanjia Hall, there is an idyllic scenery.

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian and others gathered around the Eight Immortals table, waiting for Zhao Jun to come over.

There are melon seeds, pastries, fruits and several cups of tea on the table.

Zhao Jun came in a hurry, walked a few meters away from them, looked around at everyone, and said nothing.

"Dasun, come and sit down."

Zhao Zhen happily waved to him to sit next to him.

"Thank you, Guanjia."

Zhao Jun bowed his hands and walked over to sit down.

King Lu Yijian Zeng and others remained silent.

There was silence again.

No one started, and naturally no one broke the awkwardness.

Even Zhao Zhen didn't come to the rescue for his prime minister.

After all, he actually didn't want to see Lu Yijian and the others holding hands with Zhao Jun.

But he also doesn't want to see the two sides being in the same situation.

If Zhao Jun eradicates all these people in the future, wouldn't Zhao Jun cover everything in the court?

Therefore, what he hopes more is for both parties to cooperate, but not be of the same mind.

Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Yan Shu quickly sat down and said, "Zhao Jun just wrote a song called "Linjiang Immortal", which is really good."

"oh?"

Everyone was writing lyrics, and someone asked, "Tell me and listen."

Yan Shu recited "Linjiang Immortal" once, and then said, "This poem is really majestic and majestic. Although it is a bit gloomy in old age, it is also very optimistic about life and broad-minded."

"Good words indeed."

After hearing this, Lu Yijian said with a smile: "It's just that if I write this word at my age, it would be normal. Jun Jun is only in his twenties, how can he be a fisherman with white hair and a woodcutter on the river, and he is used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze?"

"Boy Jun, did you copy it again?"

Wang Zeng said with a smile.

They obviously wanted to joke first to liven up the atmosphere.

However, Zhao Jun smiled and said nothing.

According to his previous personality, he would definitely retaliate and then the two sides would bicker.

Let’s just say haha and let the past things go. Hello, hello, hello, everyone.

But now I feel that many things are meaningless. It is better to do more practical things than to scheming with these people.

If Zhao Zhen hadn't suddenly called him over this time, he would have used a month to seriously weaken the underground evil forces on the ground, and then slowly carry out the elimination and containment.

I am waiting for these things to be on track. After the charter is in place, I will set off for field trips across the country in October or November at the end of this year.

This is done firstly to understand the current situation at the grassroots level in the Song Dynasty, and secondly from a high-level perspective, to fully grasp everything before making plans.

It's not just grassroots issues, but also coal mines, iron mines and local construction issues in various places. We may even have to send people overseas to understand the situation in surrounding countries before making next plans.

In fact, according to the development of the country, it is impossible for the country's power holders to visit every corner of the country. The best way is to establish supervisory agencies across the country like Zhu Yuanzhang, or to set up statistical bureaus to collect data from various places, as later generations did.

But Zhao Jun has not yet become the leader of the Song Dynasty, and the most important thing is that he has not yet deeply understood the sufferings of the people of the Song Dynasty. Even the tip of the iceberg has not yet been explored, and it will naturally take several years to explore.

So going out for a walk is inevitable.

Everyone had a headache when they saw Zhao Jun not talking to him. They had confessed to Zhao Zhen and expressed their willingness to lead the entire class of scholar-bureaucrats to help the officials and Zhao Jun build a better future for the Song Dynasty.

But Zhao Jun seems to have a grudge, so what should he do?

It was Zhao Zhen who saw that Zhao Jun really didn't want to talk to anyone, so he smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Jun and said, "Dasun, this word is really well written."

Zhao Jun reluctantly said: "Copied."

"Even if it is copied, it is a word that will only exist in the future. If you write it now, it will be yours."

Zhao Zhen smoothed things over, and then said: "Speaking of which, you have also rectified the situation in Kaifeng Mansion recently. The security in Bianliang City is much better than before. What are your next steps?"

Zhao Jun thought for a while, and then explained the three-step method of dealing with the enemy that he discussed with Fan Zhongyan today, and finally said: "If an empire wants to be stable and long-term, public security is the most basic thing. In the future, our country will crack down on organized crime every few years. Eliminate evil and eliminate a large number of evil elements who cause social unrest, so that ordinary people can live a healthy life without having to worry about being beaten, stolen, robbed or even killed when they go out. "

"This has an immeasurable effect on the stability and development of society. Because public security has improved, ordinary people dare to go shopping, and they can eat barbecue and go to bars at any time in the middle of the night. Businessmen who do small commodity business can feel confident and bold When you go out to do business, you don’t have to worry about being charged protection fees or having your stall or store smashed.”

"It can guarantee the operation of business around the clock, which can greatly promote consumption and economic circulation. It also makes foreign investors satisfied with the domestic investment environment, so they are willing to bring more advanced production methods into the country, which directly drives economy, indirectly driving domestic industrial upgrading.”

"At that time, the refugee problem in Western countries had a serious impact on public security. The US imperialism also had zero-dollar purchases, which led to the decline of the small commodity economy in Western countries. Stores in various places were smashed, looted and burned, and many store owners were forced to close their doors. ”

"Our country is the only country that is still strong in this regard. Even after the epidemic, it can still maintain an upward trend in the economy. Good public security and a strong attitude towards criminals have contributed greatly to this."

"Although the Song Dynasty cannot be compared with later generations, if we want to carry out the industrial revolution, we need a large number of working people to participate. In the early 16th century, the population of London was only tens of thousands. By the 18th and 19th centuries, the total population of Britain, which had completed two industrial revolutions, was only 10 to 20 million, while the population of London reached 2 million."

"Bianliang is at a stage where capital can sprout, but has not yet sprouted. If the government If the party is promoted, perhaps an industrial revolution can be formed. But once the population increases, it will inevitably be accompanied by problems such as deteriorating public security and a poor business environment, which will seriously hinder the development of the country. "

After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he thought for a while and added: "So if you want internal stability, the necessary cleaning measures must be taken. If you can completely destroy the underground gangs this time, the authorities must increase their efforts to re-modify and repair the underground sewer pipes. While consolidating the flood, you must also take precautions to prevent things like Wuyou Cave and Guifan Building from appearing again. "

The end of the speech shocked everyone present.

They were not shocked by Zhao Jun's words about the help of social security to the country and the promotion of social development, but by Zhao Jun's methods of dealing with those underground forces.

When everyone calculated Zhao Jun, they were actually right about one thing, that is, Zhao Jun was just a young man in his twenties after all.

If the power of the country is handed over to him at the beginning, even if he comes from the future and knows a lot of things, theory is theory, and practice is practice.

Just because he knows a lot, he can't be easily allowed to do things.

Before Jieting, Ma Su was the top strategist of the Ji Han Dynasty. Even Zhuge Liang had to ask him for advice. What was the result?

So although Lü Yijian and others persuaded Zhao Zhen to let Zhao Jun take the imperial examination, they hoped to assimilate him and turn him into a bureaucratic scholar-official class. Secondly, they also hoped to hone Zhao Jun and put his theoretical knowledge into practice.

Zhao Zhen was persuaded by them, and naturally agreed to them based on this consideration, so that Zhao Jun could first serve as an official to accumulate practical experience, and then carry out reforms.

Zhao Jun agreed without thinking at that time, in fact, he was also persuaded by this reason.

After all, this reason is right.

However, what people did not expect was that Zhao Jun had only been in Bianliang for a few months, and he had already achieved initial practical results.

Not only did he use thundering means to wipe out the corrupt officials in Kaifeng Prefecture, but he also cleaned up the internal worms of the Imperial City Department, making the entire Kaifeng Prefecture and the Imperial City Department look brand new.

The various abilities demonstrated have made Lü Yijian and Wang Zeng believe that Zhao Jun really has such talents, and they really have no way to deal with Zhao Jun, so they choose to join even if they can't beat him.

Originally, they thought that relying on their abilities, even if Zhao Jun took power, they could use their own senior qualifications and experience to assist him, further deepen the influence on Zhao Jun, and subtly make him have reservations about the scholar-official class.

But they didn't expect that Zhao Jun's methods against underground evil forces would be so powerful.

You should know that the evil forces such as Wuyou Cave and Guifanlou have been wanted to be eliminated by Kaifeng Prefecture in the past dynasties.

After all, they can corrupt the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, but it is difficult to have any influence on the prefectural officials such as prefectural governors and magistrates who can work for one or two years at most, or one or two months at least.

Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng both wanted to kill them.

But these people are like the stubborn disease of Bianliang, which can only seriously injure their vitality, but cannot be eradicated.

But Zhao Jun's method is to treat the symptoms and the root cause. He takes into account the people's hearts, internal support and even the flood. He removes the underground gangs' power rooted in the people layer by layer, and then disintegrates them from the inside. The first two moves alone are estimated to destroy at least seven or eight of them.

For the last few, we only need to wait for an opportunity, and the flood will backflow, forcing the people below to come out, and then use the power of the government to rush in. I am afraid that these evil elements entrenched in the underground of Bianliang will be eliminated soon.

It is a good method.

After listening to Zhao Jun's words, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and others were secretly shocked.

If Zhao Jun only showed superb theoretical knowledge before, now he has solidly proved that he has such talent for governing the country.

"Sir, this method is indeed ingenious. Wuyou Cave, Guifan Tower and other places have been harming the people of Bianliang for a long time, but they are deeply rooted in the people, and even if the government wants to eradicate them, it is difficult to do anything. If it is really as Jun said, this is to cut off their path among the people first."

"Yes, the people are afraid of these people, and they will not dare to take any action at the beginning. We can proceed step by step, so that the people will be more and more full of hatred for them, and then we will surely make the people report them enthusiastically, so that they will have nowhere to hide."

"As long as the people on the ground are cleared out first, the remaining part will all hide underground, and it will be easier to deal with them slowly. This strategy, Jun, you are a talent of a national scholar!"

After hearing this, many ministers couldn't help but sigh.

The cancer in the underground of Bianliang has been rooted for a long time, but these ministers have done nothing, which is itself a kind of irony.

As a result, not long after Zhao Jun came, he knocked down the protective umbrella of Kaifeng Prefecture, dug deep into the underground evil forces, and even customized such a special method to catch those people in one fell swoop.

This is even more ironic.

Listening to everyone's flattery, Zhao Jun just smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are indeed a good grandson of my Zhao family. With my grandson, the Song Dynasty will surely prosper. By the way, what plans does grandson have after the evil forces in Bianliang are wiped out?"

Zhao Jun said without hesitation, "Of course, I will go to various parts of the country to see the situation at the grassroots level, unlike some people who are high above and self-righteous."

As he said this, he glanced at the ministers, making them look a little embarrassed.

"This."

Zhao Zhen hesitated and said, "Can grandson not leave Bianliang? I feel uneasy if I don't have grandson by my side."

Zhao Jun frowned and said, "This is what we agreed on at the beginning. I do want to go to the people to see the situation. Governing a country is like treating a patient. Only when you know where the problem is can you find a solution, right?"

"That's right."

Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Yijian and others.

Today, Lu Yijian and others came to Zhao Zhen and persuaded Zhao Zhen to establish a department to coordinate the whole country and let Zhao Jun take charge to promote the great cause of reform.

In this way, all the affairs of the world will be piled up in front of Zhao Jun. With all kinds of complicated affairs, Zhao Jun may not have so much energy to deal with the literati in the future.

But now it seems that Zhao Jun has made plans for the future. He is a person with firm execution and ideas. If Zhao Zhen relies on himself, he may not be able to convince the other party.

Then he saw Lu Yijian coughing twice and said, "Jun boy."

"Hmm?"

Zhao Jun looked at Lu Yijian.

Lü Yijian said calmly: "You actually misunderstood us. We wanted you to take the imperial examination and become an official, which was also a test for you."

"Oh?"

Zhao Jun said with great interest: "I'd like to hear more about it."

"You also know that every move of state affairs has a profound and wide-ranging impact. If you were an experienced official when you came here, we would have been happy to let you take charge of the power, but you are just a young man who has just graduated. Who dares to entrust state affairs to you immediately?"

Lü Yijian stroked his white beard and said: "Zhao Kuo's father was not well-educated, but he liked to talk about military affairs lightly. The Battle of Changping pitied 400,000 people. Ma Su was good at attacking and scheming, and even Zhuge had to ask him for advice. The loss of Jieting caused Shu to lose soldiers and generals. We are a little worried that you can't bear the heavy responsibility, so it is reasonable to test you first to see your ability."

Although people in later generations often say that Zhao Kuo is a capable general, it's a pity that he met Bai Qi just after he came out of the mountains. Judging from his deeds, it may be true.

However, success and failure often determine a hero, so the evaluation of him by ancient historical celebrities is relatively general. For example, Ouyang Xiu said in "On the Difficulties of Being a King" that he was "empty talk without substance and unusable", and Liu Sanwu of the Ming Dynasty said that "Eyuan only has the land of southern Hunan, but the government and the people still boast about paper soldiers".

So Lu Yijian used Zhao Kuo and Ma Su to prove the harm of only knowing theory but not practice, and told Zhao Jun. They did not want Zhao Jun to do great things immediately after he came out of retirement, but hoped that Zhao Jun would accumulate practical experience before letting him enter the officialdom, which was also the main reason why they had always let Zhao Jun take the imperial examination.

Zhao Jun did not refute after hearing this, but just nodded and said: "Oh, is that so?"

"Yes."

Lü Yijian spread his hands and said: "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Well, okay, it is indeed not wrong."

Zhao Jun asked back: "What about now? Do you think I have the ability to do practical work?"

"Of course!"

Lü Yijian pointed at Zhao Jun and said seriously: "You have passed the test. We all think you are talented, so we advise the government to establish a new department to coordinate the Song Dynasty. All other government offices will be dispatched by this department, and you will be in charge of this department. How about it?"

Zhao Jun did not agree immediately, but looked at Lu Yijian, just looking at him with a smile.

No one spoke, and continued to look at him.

Both sides looked at each other.

After a while, Zhao Jun laughed.

Laughing loudly.

Laughing very unscrupulously.

You.

So soon, it's time to beg me.

I thought you could hold on a little longer and give me a reason to do it in the future.

I didn't expect it.

It's only been a few months, not much better than France.

Alas.
