On the Spring Festival of the ninth year of Jianyan, Zhao Guan’s family further affirmed on Phoenix Mountain that they were still tolerant for the country, and then insisted on the general plan of the Northern Expedition...Of course, it is rumored among the people in the southeast that Zhao Guan’s dragging the sword and composing poems threatened the situation. Households...but no matter what, shortly after the Spring Festival, Zhao Guanjia’s top priority during this southern tour is the tax reform that never increases the amount of money and pays dividends into the acres, which is officially overturned. The most difficult mountain was reached and a phased victory was achieved.

The most artistic style, but it is also the core of the so-called southeast region. Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road have officially completed the land inspection and land inspection for the situational households, and the relevant reforms have been completed first in the situational households.

During the same period of spring ploughing, the official Zhao’s family who was still stationed in Phoenix Mountain once again formally made an order, but they pointed out two major events... The first is for the governors of Tokyo, the secretaries, and the commanders of the imperial capitals of various regions. The commanding officer’s express purpose was to finally determine the best army expansion posts.

The purpose is clear and unmistakable. From now on, the army will be expanded. By the fall of this year, the front, back, left, right, center, cavalry, and naval forces of the imperial camp must reach the full scale of 300,000 people!

Although the plan did not reveal the final posts, it could not hide the intentions-from the perspective of logistics and the scale of local conscription, most of the new posts were still allocated to Han Shizhong’s imperial left army, Wu Jie’s imperial rear army, and Li Yanxian. The Shanzhou-Hedong Front Army, which is actually in charge and nominally belongs to the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Cavalry Army in Quduan.

Obviously, this official is determined after all to start the situation from the outside and the inside of Hedong.

Everyone had anticipated this a long time ago. After all, it was an objective need of military strategy. Only this deadline showed that Zhao Guan's determination to the Northern Expedition remained unchanged, and the original timetable remained unchanged.

In other words, with the naked-eye ‘success’ of Zhao Guan’s southern tour, the pace of the Northern Expedition is getting closer.

In fact, Zhao's second decree was to formally and extensively promote tax reforms in the southeast.

And this second decree was basically sent to the southeast and neighboring states and counties together with the documents of Lu Yihao, the envoy to the southeast and the economic envoy of Liangzhe Road. It also requested that Jiangnan West Road, Lianghuai Road, and Fujian Road be cultivated in spring. A similar restructuring will be carried out later.

In the intention, the Zhao official family almost made it clear with a magnanimous attitude that the original intention of the restructuring was that the Jingkang change led to the empty treasury, and there was no money to raise the soldiers and the Northern Expedition, so the southeast and Jingxiang taxes were increased; while the southeast and Jingxiang increased taxes. Although it has made an indelible contribution to the stability of the country and the upcoming Northern Expedition, it has also increased the burden on the poor at the bottom; and since ancient times, if the people don’t have a livelihood, it’s the opposite.

Therefore, at the time when the Northern Expedition is about to succeed, it is necessary to complete the financial reforms in the southeast region, where taxes are the heaviest, so that the people at the bottom can have a little respite before making big plans.

Now, Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road have been reformed, and the reforms are quite substantial. It can be seen that this matter is indeed feasible. Therefore, the other four roads have been implemented to reassure the people and stabilize the community.

As for people who dare to be selfish and abandon official duties, take the general trend and perfunctory part, or even push three and four, openly resist and secretly resist, they will be severely punished and not committed.

The order was not only issued, but also the official Tokyo Diploma and the temporary issue of Phoenix Mountain were published concurrently in the world. For a time, there was a commotion in the country, and the people were terrified.

Immediately after the spring ploughing and the purpose was issued, Tokyo once again asked the envoy to Phoenix Mountain, invited the official to return to Luang, and reported the large and small affairs of the imperial court after the official southern tour last year and the results of the prince’s ruling in the secret pavilion. Please review the overview.

However, Zhao Guanjia made a public decree once again, commending several ministers and all the secret ministers who stayed in Tokyo for their hard work and acting properly; on the other hand, they publicly replied that they will continue to be in Phoenix Mountain and wait for the implementation of the new policies on the surrounding roads to prevent chaos in the southeast.

On the contrary, there is quite a bit of fun here, not thinking about the state of Shu.

Tokyo was unable to go up and down, and could only keep the communication between the two places smooth, and worked hard to pressure and assist the local government. The local government was repeatedly ordered to cooperate with the Zhao official’s financial reform, and the supervisor was sent to inspect the place, and also sent people to the relatively nearby Lianghuai. Assist in the formation of a cabinet.

In this way, Zhao Guan's family still stayed in the southeast, and then, after the late spring season, gradually entered the summer, as the surrounding roads began to implement the New Deal, it really turned out to be one after another.

For example, the economic volume is not inferior to that of Liangzhe and the Lianghuai Road in the east of Jiangxi. From the south, it is regarded as the north, and from the original it is regarded as the southeast. In this process, no serious acts of imaginary resistance have occurred.

This was not only because the Wuwei Army stationed by Wang Gui was located between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, but also because of the so-called Guazhou River in Jingkou, and Jiangnan across the Yangtze River.

In addition, the two Huai Rivers are still relatively close to Tokyo. They have always been politically obeyed and belong to the core ruling areas of the imperial court. They are the envoys of Lianghuai Road, Yangzhou, Shouzhou, Bozhou, and Luzhou. Most of the people-friendly officials in the state capital were directly appointed by the court clerk or the confidant of the Zhao official’s family, so the execution was extremely effective.

But the most important point is that Huai Shang had personally felt the impact of the Jingkang War. Huaibei was in a state of displacement, and Huainan had also worked together to support Huai Shang operations... Moreover, both Huaixi and Huaidong were former imperial courts. Where the troops were located, the official positions of Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun when they were stationed in Nanyang at the Zhao official’s house were the Huaixi system and the Huaidong system. From the very beginning, the two Huai Shimin understood the authority of the imperial court and the strength of the imperial army. .

What's more, before the New Deal, did the imperial battalion expand its army to prepare for the Northern Expedition?

Under such circumstances, where dare the two Huai Rivers really have a confrontation?

However, the so-called "things are extremely negative".

Although there is no obvious rebellion in the two Huaihe Rivers, they have gone too far, especially in Huaixi, where local officials often harassed them and even took the opportunity to exploit large local households... And this situation, with the formation of the two Huai Rivers After the establishment of the public cabinet, it quickly caused a backlash. The local households used the public cabinet as an organizational form to contact and monitor the imperial history, and even directly sue Tokyo, and targeted the local government.

The two parties can't open the transaction for a time, and there will be a lot of bad debts.

It can only be said that in the words of Liu Dazhong that day, the situation in Lianghuai has already begun to be a situation where the households and the government are fighting against the government.

In the long run, I am afraid that structural problems will form.

In comparison, the Jiangnan West Road is much easier.

Peng Lize (later Poyang Lake) directly contacted the rebels with witchcraft, tycoons, and water bandits. They deceived themselves as Zhong Xiang and Yang, and proclaimed themselves the Great Sage of Qi Tian. They quickly swept many counties and counties, and also shot Shunjiang Next, break the Phoenix Mountain and capture Zhao Guan's slogan alive. At the same time, it finally settled down, but the southern region of Qianzhou, which had always rebelled against the tradition, also followed suit. After Jingkang, the thief appeared for the third time.

And a Pengli Wudao water bandit, a Qianzhou Miao village bandit, one north and one south, immediately formed a scale in Jiangxi.

Of course, the imperial court was really prepared this time. Wang Gui from the Wuwei Army immediately followed the river and entered Penglize via Jiangzhou. At the same time, Guo Zhongxun’s imperial reserve troops did not hesitate and immediately followed Departing from the northern part of Qianzhou, launched the second encirclement and suppression work against the Qianzie.

That's not to say. As early as the end of the spring, Liu Qi's army began to gradually spread northward in the name of letting the sergeants take a vacation and return to the Yellow River, but they were not waiting in the Chizhou area. At this time, they gathered directly to the west.

As a result, the former took 17 days, the latter took 23 days, and the two rebellions were ended directly before the arrival of Midsummer.

Then, Liu Qi's department really went north and returned to the Yellow River. It was Wang Gui's department who returned directly to the north after the war to wait for orders. As for Phoenix Mountain, the door was opened to Guo Zhongxun's department who had put down Qianzhou... Guo Zhongxun's department Ten thousand people were selected and replaced. Half of the weak soldiers stayed in Qianzhou, while the other half took advantage of the situation and turned to Hangzhou to gather in front of the Yujia.

Of course, with the end of the thorough military sweeping work, the land demolition and land inspection in Jiangxi will naturally be carried out thoroughly.

As for Fujian Road, it is different from Jiangxi and Lianghuai.

First of all, Fujian Road, together with Lianghuai, watched the reforms in Liangzhe and Southeastern China, and they were also well-informed. In addition, Fujian's scholar-officials have achieved a very high universality in this year. Almost every state capital has famous scholars, who can call on the township and even make plans and preparations early. At the same time, don’t forget that Fujian Road was the most exploited by the population tax, and Zhao Guan’s New Deal was the most liberating for them.

But on the contrary, because of the vertical and horizontal mountains in Fujian, the local clan power in this place is almost as powerful as the times.

All sorts of circumstances eventually led to the New Deal reform on Fujian Road that was unexpectedly directed by everyone—the problem is not how the situation is opposed to the country, nor is it the conflict between the government and the cabinet, and there are few real rebellions. The problem is that there are huge regional conflicts between localities due to land seizure and land breakage issues.

Besides, what is the purpose of land seizure and land breaking? Of course it is for fair distribution of taxes.

However, when the results of land inspection and land severance are compared with the original total amount according to the region, there is an indispensable difference, those more or less difference, and the total amount caused by never adding levies remains unchanged. As a result, quite a few people believe that they have suffered unfairness.

If you have less, you will naturally feel that you have paid more for hundreds of years before, and if you have changed, you will naturally feel that you have been wronged.

As a result, between the state capital and the state capital, between the city and the country, between the city and the city, between the country and the country, there are often hundreds, dozens, and even several, a few dollars of tax distribution. There was a fierce dispute.

And this kind of dispute can still be mediated and distributed between the state capital and the city, or in other words, it can still be spoken by a document, and it can also listen to the arbitrariness of the superior. However, as the upper and middle levels gradually smoothed out, the balance was lowered to the grassroots level, especially when it reached the village level, it suddenly got out of control due to the emergence of large-scale armed fighting.

This is of course an extremely serious problem, and its destructive power is no less than the previous Jiangxi rebellion, but in the face of this situation, the previous and the next did not know how to deal with it... First of all, everyone was just fighting internally, not really dragging the flag. In order to oppose the Great Song Dynasty, even the county seat was not touched. You can't say that Guo Zhongxun and Yang Yizhong's troops were directly transferred to suppress it, right?

But if it's just a vicious case, let the local government go down to hear it. I'm afraid it won't work...Because of this kind of grassroots fighting, one is chaos and the other is shelter. Where is the case and the offender? And just the few officials of the county government are considered a **** in front of the hundreds of armed young men in the village community? What is the executive power?

Ever since, as I watched, up and down, I saw that Fujian Road had fallen into a kind of weird overall chaos because of this incident.

Suddenly, Zhao Guanjia, who was still proud of the obedience of the two Huai Rivers and Jiangxi’s sharp knife to cut the mess, was also dumbfounded on Phoenix Mountain, and could only hurriedly dispatch Xu Jingheng, Liu Dazhong, Fan Zongyin, Mei Li, etc., according to Li Gang’s suggestion. The human-led'Emperor's Investigation Team' went to various places in Fujian and Ximu, and hurriedly asked Fujian officials everywhere... if they were near, they should return to Fujian directly to maintain stability, and if they were far away, they should write back to help them.

But to be honest, at this time, the official had already noticed something bad, because he probably could tell that the problem of Fujian Road was not only the most unexpected, but also the most serious in fact. And the most difficult. Because on the one hand, its scale is far beyond imagination, and almost the entire basic level of Fujian is in chaos; on the other hand, it is the place where things happened, or the class that happened, which is basically an area that the central power of the feudal era cannot effectively reach... …In other words, his Zhao official family simply couldn't use it.

In fact, it is true.

With the reversion of a series of reports from all sides, it is all explained that this bewildered turmoil at the grassroots level in Fujian has not only severely delayed production, but also caused severe social unrest and created a series of local conflicts.

What's more terrible is that when Zhao Jiu received the message that the locals were gradually stabilizing, the summer was about to pass... and this meant that the summer tax collection work on Fujian Road had been extensively damaged.

Even the autumn tax is not stable!

And don’t forget, why did Zhao Jiu want to tour south and carry out this reform? Isn't it just to unite the people before the Northern Expedition, so that the people in the South can be a little more stable before the Northern Expedition, and can stand side by side to the north?

So why can we expedition to the north again?

Doesn’t it mean that looking at this budget, it is estimated that it will be in place this year?

But now you have not collected all the summer taxes, even the autumn taxes, and Jiangxi has also been affected to a certain extent, so what do you do for the Northern Expedition?

And in the end is Jiangnan considered stable, or is it not stable?

This turmoil has fundamentally shaken Zhao Guan's overall strategy.

Pity our Zhao official family. Since his debut, he has suppressed the warlords, swept the rebellion, recovered the Central Plains, kicked the two saints, shot the Yanlou house, forced the Yelu big stone, collected Xixia, Kaigongge, Tongxi, Liyuan, from The emperor of Japan took gold from his mouth, made silver from the Confucian officials in Korea, asked for copper mines with Dali, went south for rice, fought side by side with Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, and talked and laughed with Li Gang Lu Haowen... Turning around, you can also be in Phoenix Counting crows on the mountain, doing an oolong boat sweeping the West Lake, dragging swords and writing poems across the southeast, the martial arts conference punched the situational households and the Taoists, but never expected, caught off guard, and fell directly on the local fight in Fujian. .

It's simply a stumbling block in the world.

But this is not over yet. Summer is about to go. Just as the turmoil in Fujian gradually stabilizes, and Zhao Guanjia hesitates to return to Tokyo, another piece of bad news...or a phenomenon visible to the naked eye has appeared.

Zhao Guan’s family can see clearly from Phoenix Mountain. At the end of summer, the entire southeast began to rain on a large scale, and it continued to rain continuously.

In fact, in the early summer of April, there was already a little too much rain in the southeast. At that time, a local official told Lu Yihao that he was afraid that this year's silk production would be slightly damaged.

But it's only a little bit, it's not a disaster, and right now, it's actually similar...It's too sensational to say that it's a disaster, but this round of continuous rain has indeed affected the autumn harvest on Liangzhe Road.

This made Zhao Jiu a little flustered, and also made Lu Yihao a little flustered, and local officials also a little flustered...because everyone is not a fool. They all know that the 300,000 people in the Imperial Camp after Autumn, all know that the summer tax on Fujian Road has gone wrong. What if this happens in case the autumn harvest in the Southeast is hit?

In the panic, some people couldn't keep their breath and took the initiative to play the Zhao official family, suggesting that the Zhao official family worship the world and pray for a sunny day.

Zhao Jiu tore up this memorial.

About less than a day after the tearing, the rain in West Lake was still falling, and a ambassador from Tokyo arrived on a routine basis... For the entire nine years of Jianyan, ambassadors arrived every month, and they were usually at the first level. Mr. Secret Pavilion... This time is no exception. The one who came is Liu Hongdao, the head of the capital water monitor, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War.

But to be honest, Liu Hongdao is in charge of the Yellow River issue. At this time, unless there is something important, there is no need to do this ambassador... As expected, this person went to Phoenix Mountain and met Zhao officials to explain various Tokyo issues and issues. Before the local military affairs, a troublesome thing was mentioned.

"Yellow River Waterway?" Zhao Jiu frowned.

"Yes." Liu Hongdao answered solemnly. "Specifically, it is the waterway in Shanzhou. The river has a mainstay... not Li Dutong, but a real mainstay..."

"I know... haven't there been any problems in the past?" Zhao Jiu looked at the patter of rain outside the old palace ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ with a slight impatience, and directly interrupted the other party.

"The minister did not say the problem, but now preparing for the Northern Expedition, a large number of military supplies have begun to be transported to Kansai, and the river there is inevitably stretched." Liu Hongdao still spoke seriously.

"That's true." Zhao Jiu nodded again and again. "The things that can't be helped..."

"In fact, there is a way." Liu Hongdao hurriedly continued to explain. "Before the minister came, Hu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry discussed with the minister... In fact, the plank road in the river can be rebuilt in the Tang Dynasty... The Shanzhou area happens to be in our hands, which is completely feasible."

"But how long does it take to repair the plank road?" Zhao Jiu frowned.

"If you use gunpowder, it can be done quickly." Liu Hongdao spoke to each other earnestly. "The ministers and others have tried it in Tokyo before. Drilling and using medicine can completely blast the stone to clear the way... But the use of a large amount of gunpowder requires the officials to make a decision, so the ministers and others are dedicated to this... The officials, if they can quickly dig a plank road, not only the military needs to be able to timely Arriving in Kansai, the war is going to speed up the transportation of supplies from the southeast to the Hedong battlefield, which is related to the smooth logistics. The minister thought it was worth it."

Zhao Jiu was instinctively open-mouthed, but for some reason, he felt suspicious and didn't give a reply. Instead, he thought of something out of the ordinary. He settled in the door and looked out of the old temple in silence.

However, looking out of the temple at this time, the lushly grassy Phoenix Mountain, the Leifeng Pagoda with a visible posture, and the misty West Lake are all misty and rainy, shrouded in summer rain.

Zhao Jiu knew in his heart that it was time to make a decision again... but the decision this time was really extraordinary.
