Fu Song

Chapter 465 How are you?
Cen Zhong was very worried about the slogan Xiao Cheng yelled in Dali, otherwise he wouldn't have made a special trip here.

Beat the tyrants!
Divide the fields!
Is there another sentence about equalizing the rich and the poor?
This problem is serious.

Even on Guizhou Road, where Xiao Cheng has absolute control, Xiao Cheng's subordinates gather a large number of people who, in Cen Zhong's opinion, are landlords and gentry, even those businessmen who don't have a lot of land in their families. ?

It's just that on Guizhou Road, under Xiao Chengying's eyes, these guys couldn't conceal the actual amount of land and had to pay taxes according to the regulations.

But whether there is any evasion of land tax in a different way, even Xiao Cheng dare not say that there is no such thing!
On Guangnan West Road, this situation is even more serious.

To be honest, whether it is Xiao Cheng or Cen Zhong, their current rule is really based on the support of these powerful landlords.

More than ninety-nine percent of the officials under them come from such families.

You can't expect that there will be a few talented scholars in the families of those who are really poor, right?They can't even eat, so how can they have money to study?
As long as anyone who can provide for his children to study, no matter how poor the family is, they will not go there.

So Cen Zhong was worried!

If this slogan is shouted in the Song Dynasty, I am afraid it will turn the sky upside down!
This is your own prying corner.

The first thing to quit is their own subordinates!

Cen Zhong knew that Xiao Cheng was currently promoting free teaching and educating people on Guizhou Road. His father, who was in his seventies and eighties, was as tired as a dog every day. There is no class in teaching, he is now walking on the road of becoming a saint and a virtuous man, and he is not even interested in the beautiful concubine who Cen Zhong racked his brains to send Lao Tzu who is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Obviously, in Old Master Cen's mind, being virtuous and making meritorious deeds is much more important than sensuality.

But if this set of policies really needs to be effective, and if it really needs to produce talents, no one will do it for ten or twenty years, so don't even think about it.

Now that it is confirmed that this policy will only be implemented in Dali, Cen Zhong is relieved.

That's right!

Dali is now an enemy country.

The two sides are fighting, and it is not surprising what kind of tricks are used.

"Dali has been established for hundreds of years, longer than the Song Dynasty." Poured a cup of tea for the senior brother, Xiao Cheng said: "The Duan family's rule, to be honest, is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. People think that the Duan family is orthodox. I tried my best to make Dali a mess, just thinking that we should clean up the hearts of the people, so that we can establish the legitimacy of our rule there in one fell swoop. Trouble!"

Cen Zhong nodded again and again: "That's the reason. It has always been easy to conquer a place, but it is even more difficult to achieve governance in a place."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xiao Cheng: "But you seem to be an accident, no matter whether you are with the party members in the Northwest or when you are in Qianzhou, you seem to be able to face those Jizhou states with ease!"

"Brother, you're ridiculous!" Xiao Cheng laughed and said, "How can we quickly achieve the legitimacy of our own rule? The first, of course, is to completely destroy the original local ruling class and vested interests."

"The ruling foundation of the Dali Kingdom is actually similar to that of our Song Dynasty. It is rooted in the gentry and aristocratic families." Cen Zhong suddenly realized: "So, you have to cut off these roots."

"Yes, fundamentally speaking, ordinary people are basically attached to these gentry and aristocrats. After killing these people, and letting ordinary people destroy this class by themselves, then in the future, they are afraid of these people's counterattack. They will inevitably resist the old rule and choose to simply depend on us." Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes.

"Moreover, you really know how to give them the land!" Cen Zhong said emotionally: "In this way, they have really benefited, so why don't they sincerely support you? No matter from which point of view, they have not turned back reason."

Xiao Cheng clapped his hands and said: "In this way, we can quickly eat a country with a long history like Dali into our stomachs without indigestion! It will also allow us to quickly mobilize the people here when we have something to do in the future. The strength is that it really becomes our powerhouse."

"You are always so far-sighted!" Cen Zhong shook his head and sighed, "Gao Yingxiang, how are you going to arrange him?"

"This time I appointed Gao Yingxiang as the chief officer of the Yunnan march to take charge of commanding the entire army to attack Dali, and I entrusted him with this task." Xiao Cheng said: "He has sufficient reasons and motives."

"In this way, even if there are still some remnants of Dali Kingdom in the future, they will only hate Gao Yingxiang, and we will be relegated to the second place." Xiao Cheng said: "This is supplemented by other means, and among these people People of insight can be drawn in to be our help, after all, such a large piece of land still needs people to manage it, and the people in our pockets are too short after all!"

"The key is that these people are very likely to become pawns to contain Gao Yingxiang because of their hatred of Gao Yingxiang. In this way, even if Gao Yingxiang makes great achievements this time, there will be people to contain him in the future, so that he cannot get rid of us. Cen Zhong sipped his tea, thoughtful, "Speaking of which, a guy like him has survived this crisis, and in the future, it may not be possible to re-establish the family, create another glories, and let the Gao family rule Dali again. idea."

"However, if those people who hate this guy extremely become officials in Dali, it will be difficult for Gao Yingxiang to start again!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

Cen Zhong shook his head: "You are good or bad!"

"Huh?" Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes.

"But I really like it!" Cen Zhong quickly added.

Xiao Cheng laughed loudly: "That's about the same, don't forget, your beloved cub is enlightened with me now!"

"That's your son-in-law!" Cen Zhong said: "To me, he is the youngest son, but to you, he is the eldest son-in-law!"

"You're irresponsible throwing the pot away!" Xiao Cheng said angrily, "It means that if this guy is worthless in the future, it must be my father-in-law and teacher's responsibility, so you don't have to take any responsibility, right?"

"Naturally!" Cen Zhong sat on the ground, his face was calm, two fingers were holding the lid of the teacup, gently scraping the float in the cup, but when he looked closely at his eyes, there was a hint of complacency inside. .

This is the business he is most proud of.

Right now, his youngest son is by Xiao Cheng's side, firstly, Xiao Cheng is there to enlighten him, secondly, he dares to be Zhao An's little bookboy at the same time.

To them, Zhao An is a typical rare commodity to live in. If this situation is really like what Xiao Cheng told him in private, then Zhao An's future can be expected.

His youngest son lived with Zhao An since he was a child, so he naturally has no worries about his future.

But thinking about Xiao Cheng's predictions about the future of the Song Dynasty, Cen Zhong still felt a little shuddering, and there was also some disbelief in it. Will it really come to this day?

Xiao Ding of Xingqing Mansion,
Xiao Qi, also known as Xiao Chuo, is the middle capital of the Liao Kingdom.

Xiao Cheng from Guiyang Prefecture,
The Xiao family has two sons and a daughter, but now they occupy three places, and each of them is a big shot,

What will happen to their future?

With Cen Zhong's knowledge, now he really can't see through it, can't see through it.

What exactly are they trying to do?

Xiao Cheng didn't know that at this moment, Cen Zhong's mind had turned several times, and he thought of his elder brother and younger sister all the way from him.

"The big battle should be almost over this year. It will take a few months to destroy Dali's organized resistance forces, but the next unorganized resistance forces will be the most difficult. It is estimated that it will take a year." Two years. But since there is no organization, it will not be a big climate." Xiao Cheng said.

"Who will be in charge of Dali, oh, no, it's Yunnan, south of the colorful clouds!" Cen Zhong said with a smile, "I guess you have already made up your mind?"

Once Dali is taken back, there must be a capable person to guard it.

Of course, it is impossible for the imperial court to intervene in this matter.

This is the consensus of two people.

How can it be possible for others to taste the sweetness of the fruit that everyone has worked hard for several years?Really let the imperial court intervene and send people here, isn't it just adding to the obstacles for the two of them.

For this, you can refer to Mr. Hu Yi and Mr. Hu. This gentleman is very persistent. He has devoted himself to making trouble for Xiao Cheng in Guizhou for many years.

Even if he is now following Mr. Cen to engage in education without discrimination and contribute to the career of Guiyang Road, it does not prevent him from using various means to disgust Xiao Cheng.

In his opinion, helping Mr. Cen to teach and educate people is his righteous husband as a scholar, and it is an undeniable duty of a disciple of a saint. Disgusting Xiao Cheng is the quality he should have as a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty.

Up to now, Hu Yi also understands that he can't do anything other than disgusting Xiao Cheng, even if his behavior is to embarrass Xiao Cheng, it is also forced.

At the very beginning, everyone on Guiyang Road was very angry with Hu Yi's behavior. Many of Xiao Cheng's subordinates wished to have Hu Yi's cramps stripped to his heart's content, but Hu Yi stood up to meet him with a smile on his face.

If it wasn't for Xiao Cheng's special assignment of people from Zhiqiuyuan to protect this person's safety, Hu Yi might have unknowingly raised his braids.

It has to be said that Xiao Cheng's act of tolerance towards Hu Yi won praise and fame all over the world.

Of course, this is positive.

On the negative side, the scolding outside has become louder.

Anyway, you Xiao Cheng won't do anything to those who oppose you!

It is this feeling that makes the arguments louder every time a matter is discussed in the joint council meeting.In one word, it basically does not exist in the joint council.

Not even Xiao Cheng.

And this is exactly what Xiao Cheng wanted to achieve.

He needs to set an example for the deliberations of the joint council. He wants everyone to understand that the joint council is a place for collective decision-making and a place for mutual compromise.

He absolutely cannot tolerate in the future, in the joint council, there will be a figure like the emperor who can decide anything with a single word.

Simple majority, this is the current rule of procedure of the Joint Council.

As long as none of the permanent directors objects, the matter can be implemented.

If there is opposition, it will be a new round of consultation and persuasion.

"you guess?"

Xiao Cheng looked at Cen Zhong leisurely.

Cen Zhong's face suddenly became a little hideous.

Seeing the other party's distraught look, Xiao Cheng finally regained some sense of balance in his heart.

"Luo Gang!"

Cen Zhong was startled, but immediately reacted, applauded and praised: "Okay, this candidate is excellent, even the imperial court has nothing to say. The only shortcoming is that Luo Gang is too young."

Xiao Cheng snorted coldly.

Cen Zhong reacted quickly.

If you really want to say young, the one in front of you is young, right?Luo Gang is even older than Xiao Cheng!

The reason why Luo Gang is the most suitable candidate at the moment is first of all his identity.

His old man, Luo Song, is still Dutang's husband-in-law now!

Luo Song, who originally wanted to retreat and stop this muddy water, stayed on. Neither the officials, nor Xia Jie, allowed Luo Song to tell his old age to return to his hometown. There are problems of this and that, but he is someone who can really get things done.Secondly, Luo Song's youngest son can hold an important position on Guiyang Road, and he has an inseparable relationship with Xiao Cheng. This is an effective channel for the two sides to communicate and communicate.

If Luo Song is let go, wouldn't Luo Gang dare to be restrained by anyone?

Therefore, even if Bianliang felt uncomfortable, he had no choice but to admit this person to the newspaper.

Secondly, Luo Gang has grown very fast over the years. Whether he was in Guanling or later governing Bijie, he performed exceptionally well in all aspects. In today's land of six prefectures and three prefectures on Guiyang Road, it is undisputed. Number one.

You must know that the starting point of Bijie Prefecture is lower than that of other prefectures.

Third, and of course the most important point, Luo Gang is Xiao Cheng's best friend, and he obeys Xiao Cheng's words without any second thoughts.

"Peacemaker of the Great Song Dynasty, another young man under the age of thirty is about to appear!" Cen Zhong stroked the beard on his face and sighed, "I'm old when I compare it!"

"You just celebrated your [-]th birthday last year. How old are you?" Xiao Cheng said with a smile, "Moaning without illness, do you want me to praise you too?"

"That's not true, people compare themselves to others, it's maddening! At your age, I was still groveling in front of the superior in order to take a step up!" Cen Zhong said.

"The times make heroes!" Xiao Cheng said lightly, "I've heard a saying that a pig can fly into the sky even if it stands on the wind, so senior brother, don't underestimate yourself. You are one of the few faculties that I can see through my eyes!"

"That's really flattering!" Cen Zhong smiled and cupped his hands. To be honest, he was really happy about Xiao Cheng's evaluation.

The person on the opposite side, with his eyes high above his head, seemed to be polite to everyone, but in fact, not many looked down upon him.

If you didn't have a deep acquaintance with him, you wouldn't be able to see the pride deeply hidden in your bones.
