Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 569: The Reform Begins

......

boom!

"Oh no! Sir! Oh no!"

After a few days, the sea was calm.

Zhou Du came to the Ministry of Revenue and prepared to work in person.

But he didn't expect that just when he finally got the position and was about to do some real work, his boss came to report bad news.

The key point is, you dare not knock on the door!

"What's wrong!"

Zhou Du frowned and stared over.

The bad news came before the beautiful day even officially started. Even though the person in front of him was so anxious that he was out of breath, he could only feel annoyed.

"That Zhou Xian! That Zhou Xian!"

boom!

"What happened to Zhou Xian? Speak slowly and clearly!"

When it comes to Zhou Xian, Zhou Du frowned even more, but not at Zhou Xian, but at the leader under his command.

The sound of a paperweight was a final warning that his patience was reaching its limit.

At the same time, the slight uneasiness in my heart was completely put down.

Because from his perspective, Zhou Xian had given up everything and escaped.

Then the position vacated by Zhou Xian is a matter of chance, so apart from the benefits to be divided, Zhou Xian should not appear again!

Even a small setback occurred in the past few days.

The waiting list they submitted had not yet been released. The family business left by Zhou Xian had already been taken by the noble group.

Now, these previous big troubles have become a help for him to expand his influence.

Now comes the bad news, and it concerns Zhou Xian again!

Could it be that Zhou Xian escaped and became a high-ranking official?

But just thinking about this possible idea, Zhou Du himself found it so outrageous that it was a little funny.

Zhou Xian?

Now their strategy is in the preparation stage. Basically, all arrangements are favorable to the Zhao Mansion. Its reputation has changed drastically, but there will be some unpleasant things.

What's more, Zhou Xian was a runaway abandoned son of the Zhao family, and was being secretly hunted by them.

And the position of the Qinglisi Langzhong in the capital is such a small position. Apart from Zhao Zheng taking action against them, what else could happen?

Therefore, this person in charge has no moderation in his handling of cases and needs to be replaced.

"My Lord, this is really a terrible thing!"

"The position of Zhou Xian and his accomplices has just been established as a model of reform by Lord Zhao! His Majesty has issued an order and the cabinet has stamped it! The notice is posted at the entrance of the government office!"

"The Qingli Division no longer needs a doctor to preside over it!"

The person in charge did not speak slowly as Zhou Du requested. Instead, he spoke faster and faster, and his expression began to change.

"No need for a doctor!?"

"Wait, what does this mean! Without the Qingli Division, how can the court control the local gentry? "

But Zhou Du paid no attention to any changes in his subordinate.

Because at this moment, after hearing the explanation of the person in charge in front of him, Zhou Du's comfort under the irritability had completely disappeared.

The dissatisfaction I had just felt towards the person in charge in front of me was gone.

On the contrary, the uneasiness that had been buried in his heart uncontrollably surfaced when the three words "Sir Zhao" came out of his subordinate's mouth.

Zhao Mansion, Zhao Zheng.

Only when we actually face this opponent do we realize how difficult the grand plans we had outlined before are.

But there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.

If Zhao Zheng wants to deal with them, everyone will know about it, and the position of Qinglisi can also disappear.

Because, as long as the things that require people to be responsible for do not disappear, in the end it will just be a matter of changing the name on the person's head.

That would not have any impact on them or his current position.

Grand undertakings are a gamble in themselves, so how can they be smooth and without any risk?

You know, according to custom! According to the past! According to the past! According to the dynasties...

"Ah! Sir, go out and ask other lords, or go to the gate of the government office and read the notice, and everything will be clear."

"Notice? What notice..."

This time, Zhou Du noticed the change in the person in charge.

Just like the change in Zhou Du's confidence when he counted his cards.

Zhou Du never imagined that the leader under him would dare to disobey him one day.

Before, he would just barge in, but now, he would just leave in the middle of talking.

squeak~

"How dare you! Come back here!"

Just now I was dissatisfied with him and wanted to change someone else, but now the other person left me first.

How could Zhou Du accept such a contrast?

However, he still knew the seriousness of the matter, and that he could deal with the matter later. The most urgent task now was to find out what had happened.

After Zhou Xian and those traitors stepped down, the position of Langzhong was gone, and what would replace it?

He quickly put down the paperweight, stood up and ran out, and finally realized that the notice was there as soon as he entered the door.

......

"Master Zhou, this is really bad news."

"What happened? What did the notice say?"

"Master Zhou doesn't know?"

"Say it quickly!"

Zhou Du hurried out to discuss the matter with his accomplices.

The process went smoothly. He had only taken two steps when he saw the notice and his accomplices came to him.

However, things developed in a completely different direction.

The slight glimmer of hope that Zhou Du had in his heart was completely wiped out.

"The man surnamed Zhao used the position vacated by Zhou Xian and his colleagues as an example and proposed to remove the one province one department rule."

"We changed the division of powers of our Qingli Division from being divided according to the provincial government or province to being divided according to function."

"The positions vacated by Zhou Xian and his team are completely gone..."

"Now it has been replaced by the General Office of the Qingli, which has sub-offices such as taxation and household registration. A new assistant minister for supervising military expenditures has been added, and the salt and iron envoys and the grain transport envoys have been sent under him."

"After that, there were no more doctors in the Qingsi General Office, and the heads of each branch office reported directly to the Shangshu."

"I guess the person in charge under Lord Zhou should have also run away."

The enthusiastic accomplice explained all the sources to Zhou Du, and then presented the most precious thing that Zhou Du had always wanted but never got -

loyalty!

"Master Zhou, we all follow your lead now, you must find a solution quickly!"

"..."

But what can Zhou Du do at the moment?

Looking at the eager eyes of everyone in front of him, he only felt cold inside.

Recall.

Although their alliance has been growing stronger, from beginning to end, it seems like just waves of defeated soldiers gathering together.

It seemed that there was not even the slightest obstacle to Zhao Zheng's reforms.

They even sent talented children from various families to the University of Science and Technology of China to become their students.

Where exactly is the problem?!

Zhou Du did not immediately answer the questions from his comrades in front of him or give a solution. Instead, he summarized everything that had happened over the past ten days or so.

Finally, he figured it all out.

That’s ten days or half a month, too short!

It's not a problem of fence-sitters among this group of people, nor is it that the gentry group they represent behind them lacks power.

The time was too short! They had no chance to use their strength before the end!

But how did Zhao Zheng, the Zhao family, come up with this chain of combined attacks? ?

Could it be that saints are really different from mortals like them?

But if there really is a difference, how can a saint still die?

Still dying?!
