The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 546

This kind of reform can last for a long time, and it will completely eradicate the corvee law that harms the people, and change the fundamental system of the country.

Yang Lin asked, "Did you just come out of Luoyang?"

"Returning to Shaozai, I have been ordered to go from Luoyang to Heyang and stay there for three days."

With a wave of his hand, Yang Lin signaled that he could leave. Luoyang is the center of Henan Province, and it is also a big city.

Although it is lonely now, but they were really rich before, and countless wealthy families settled here, so Luoyang is also a hard bone for reform.

The route that Song Jiang arranged for himself, now that I think about it, it is difficult first and then easy. If I go to Hebei and Youyan according to my original plan, they are places where the promotion of the New Deal reform has been relatively successful.

These places have been far away from the center for a long time, and are regarded as peripheral places, which are not taken seriously, and there is no deep-rooted gentry power.

Moreover, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have been stationed there for many years, and few of them dare to resist the imperial government's orders like Jiangnan.

Now going from Luoyang to Qinlong, Qinlong is a more complicated area, and the problem of the family of generals here has not been completely resolved.

I suppressed the Fugu Zhe family and Linzhou Yang family, supported the Yao family, and weakened the Zhong family. The forces of the four generals were re-divided, and their control over the army was weakened to varying degrees.

But at the local level, the foundation of these aristocratic families is still very strong, and they are afraid that they will resist the New Deal for the benefit of the family.

After walking for another half an hour, they had already descended from Beiman Mountain and approached Luoyang City.

Lu Qian smiled and said, "Young Zai, look ahead, that's Luoshui."

In the Song Dynasty, Tokyo was Kaifeng, Xijing was Henan, and Luoyang was another prosperous place besides Bianliang.

Although the towering city walls are not as majestic as Bianliang's, they can be considered a big city in the Central Plains.

At the end of spring, countless tourists choose to come out for outing and camping, and the crowds beside Luoshui are bustling.

Back then, the temptress Wu Zetian wanted to be the emperor and performed miracles everywhere, so suddenly someone salvaged a stone in Luoshui, engraved with the four characters "The Holy Mother Comes, Yongchang Emperor".

A "miracle" appeared in Luoshui. Empress Wu was so happy that she reciprocated and ordered fishing to be banned in Luoshui. , or have to move out of the Luo River and go fishing elsewhere for a living.

A large number of fishermen moved away, or changed to other industries, which made the two sides of Luoshui quiet and quiet, and became a good place for dignitaries and dignitaries to relax in autumn.

Up to now, Luoshui at this time is no longer what it was before. Although it is still a vast and vast swamp, it is more of a channel for merchants to make money. Blot out the sun.

Merchant ships go straight from Luoshui River to Bianhe River, which is a road of money for maritime merchants that runs through the east and west. Merchant ships that stay around day and night do not know how much wealth they will create.

Yang Lin pointed to Luoyang City and said, "Today I will rest in the city for a day. Did you inform the officials of the Henan Mansion earlier?"

"Everything has been notified."

Chapter 6 Thirteen Chiyang Patriarch Comes to Luoyang

Outside the city of Luoyang, flags and flags fluttered, umbrellas gathered, and drummers in livery and soldiers lined up on both sides, imposing.

The surrounding people and traveling merchants didn't know what important person was coming, so they detoured into the city in fear.

Under the leading red-trimmed umbrella, several green-robed officials with black collars gathered together and whispered.

Especially Wang Shouzheng, the magistrate of Henan Province, wiped the sweat stains on his forehead with his wide sleeves, and looked forward to the end of the post road, with a sense of hopelessness.

Seven or eight elite cavalry appeared in the distance, dressed in red brocade robes, they should be the first cavalry.

Yang Shaozai has a Long Live Battalion. Although they have never been exposed, they have always guarded them and never left them lightly.As soon as the officials saw the scarlet brocade robe, they knew that the young master had arrived, and they raised their feet to greet him.

The first Tiqi dispersed, and a large group of people came behind. Except for the eight hundred guards, the others camped outside the city as usual.

This trip is worthy of their training in the past few years. After all, there is still a difference between being outside and being in the school.

When fighting a war, marching is an important item, and setting up camp is also a huge test.

The personal guards surrounded Yang Lin and came from the middle on horseback, led by Wang Shouzheng, the magistrate of Henan Province.

After he came up to meet him, he bowed to Yang Lin from a distance, and the officials behind him also looked very happy.

When Yang Shaozai came, the government's backers came, and the assassins who could not be controlled in the past lined up to pay the money one by one.

The officials in the mansion were awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of knocking on the door. When they opened the door, they saw that they were all the servants sent by the rich family to pay the money.

The guards were even more happy, the money was nothing but their wages.

Ordinary people work for the government, not to mention the trouble of running errands, and they have to take the blame. What happened is all the fault of these temporary workers.The most important thing is that they don't give any money, not even food.

Leaving behind his wife and mother, he ran to suffer this crime. The baby was croaking hungry, the daughter-in-law was sallow and emaciated, and the rice bowl was empty.

This is the general situation of most of the common people who are on duty in corvee, but it is quite different now.

Even if I want to do this job, I may not be able to stay. Only by performing well can I have a chance.

Nowadays, these servants are official positions in the government. Although they are not officials, small officials are better than ordinary people, and the key service is not low.

This kind of change from the sky to the earth, whoever is better, is our Yang Shaozai, so everyone came to welcome Yang Lin with a festive look.

This enthusiasm made Yang Lin a little embarrassed, and entered Luoyang City surrounded by everyone.

On the way, Yang Lin asked, "Which one is the magistrate?"

Wang Shouzheng smiled and said: "Return to Shaozai, the next official will be."

"Bring me here, if there is anything wrong with committing crimes and confronting the government, please inform the Forbidden Army outside the city."

Wang Shouzheng twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, under the rule of the lower officials, no one dares to fight against the law of the country!"

What are you proud of?Yang Lin glanced at him angrily, is that your credit? Isn't that the prestige of the Zhengzhou Mansion?

However, Yang Lin was happy to have a leisurely time. When he came to the imperial envoy prepared for him in Luoyang, Yang Lin checked the public, it was really good, there was nothing difficult to chew on.

Many of the ink marks on these ledgers are new, and the paper quality is even a little weak, and some of them were simply mended last night.

However, since the payment was made, Yang Lin would not pursue it anymore. Anyway, the accountability system will continue. Naturally, the governors from all over the country, for the sake of the military's finances and their own official positions, urged the governor's yamen to collect corvee money in a fair manner.

It seems that there is no need for the Henan government to continue to crack down. This place is close to Kaifeng, and there are lessons learned from Xingyang, Zhengzhou. I believe no one dares to commit crimes against the government.

When it came to Qinlong, it was another hard bone, and that was when it caused headaches.

The Xingyuan of Luoyang Mansion is also a courtyard vacated by a local big family. There are a row of green brick gatehouses, the black painted gate and the four sides of the whitewashed walls seem to have been newly repaired, and the copper ring on the gate is shining in the sunlight.

In a small courtyard in the center, peonies were in full bloom, and a small table was set up in the courtyard. Yang Lin was sitting in front of the table, eating while listening to Wang Shouzheng's report on the situation in Henan Mansion.

Green Chinese toon sprouts are served with fried golden eggs, black and crispy mulberry fungus, fresh tender tofu diced, minced chives, and fresh soup made of minced meat. They are all poured on the noodles just out of the pot, and the aroma is tangy.

While reporting with a smile, Wang Shouzheng sighed in his heart, Yang Shaozai, who is famous all over the world, is really easy to pass...

"Don't worry, Shaozai. The Dianjiao is already on the way. Soon, all the temples and Taoist temples in Luoyang will be under their jurisdiction."
