Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 381: Jiangnan's final arrangement

"Your Majesty, will this Supervision Department have too much power?" Wang De and Kang An walked towards the town, while Wang Shu stayed beside Zhao Chen.

"Yes, it's a bit too big! What can you do to restrict the rights of this Supervision Department?" Zhao Chen said, he was thinking about this issue just now.

"Your Majesty, it hasn't been long since Jiangnan has just recovered. For the sake of Jiangnan's stability, we cannot replace all Jiangnan officials, so you have to establish this supervision department! When the world is settled in the future, this supervision department will never let it exist again. Otherwise, after decades or hundreds of years, this Supervision Department is very likely to mess up the world." Wang Shu said.

"You are smart." Zhao Chen smiled.

He didn't expect Wang Shu to guess his thoughts!

In history, Jin Yiwei was so powerful that in the end the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not at ease, so the emperor of the Ming Dynasty established the East Factory and used the East Factory to counterbalance the Jinyiwei. Later, the West Factory appeared in the Ming Dynasty to counterbalance the East. For a period of time, there were in-house factories to counterbalance the East, West and Jinyiwei factories and Jinyiwei. Later generations, whether it is Jinyiwei, East Factory, West Factory, Inner Factory, etc., are all famous, but they are all notorious.

Zhao Chen will never let the Supervision Department become that way.

"Your Majesty, now, Lord Li Gangli can be used to restrict the rights of the Supervision Department! The Supervision Department can investigate, capture, and interrogate officials at will, but they must notify Master Li Gang Li before they capture officials. If Master Li does not agree, they cannot Catch! Lord Li is an upright official, loyal and trustworthy." Wang Shu said.

"Only in this way, the efficiency of the Supervision Department will be greatly reduced." Zhao Chen said.

Li Gang is in Lin'an, and the Supervision Department is investigating and capturing corrupt officials everywhere. If Li Gang is notified of everything, it may take a lot of time. Of course, Zhao Chen also has absolute trust in Li Gang's moral character. I am afraid that there are few people with higher moral character in this world.

"It's just a delay of some time. It's much better than the overwhelming power of the Supervision Department. No one can cure it in the future." Wang Shu said.

Zhao Chen thought for a while, and said: "Okay! That's it! The Supervision Department can investigate and collect evidence at will, but as long as officials are captured, Li Gang's approval is required!"

Wang Shu smiled and said: "In this way, the Supervision Department will at least have no major problems now! With Master Li Gang, now the Supervision Department can use it with confidence."

Zhao Chen nodded lightly and said: "Now, the situation in Jiangnan is basically stable, and I can go north anytime!"

He left Sichuan and Shu in February, punished Zhao Gou in March, and now it is July!

In the past few months, he first reassures Jiangnan officials, decreed that as long as they take refuge in the new court, all previous sins will be forgotten. He also decreed to reduce agricultural taxes and commercial taxes, exempt taxes in many places, inspect everywhere, and visit the people. To appease the hearts of the people! He promoted many officials such as Huang Qianshan, Zhang Jun, Chen Dong, etc., in order to appease these officials! After that, he personally came to Dongting Lake to calm the Dongting Lake bandit troubles, and relief the disaster here, but also to comfort the people!

In addition, the Propaganda Department has also entered various parts of Jiangnan, and now a supervision department has been established to prevent corruption of Jiangnan officials.

After all these policies are implemented, there will be no major disturbances in Jiangnan!

Jiangnan is stable, and Jiangnan's economy is slowly recovering. Now is the time to make a move to the Central Plains.

The end of the Central Plains War is just around the corner, but after the Jurchen invasion, the Central Plains suffered great damage, which is much more serious than Jiangnan! The government system in Jiangnan is basically complete. Although the people in Jiangnan are living in hardship because of Zhao Gou's oppression, they have not yet reached the point where a large number of people have died. Only a small-scale peasant uprising has occurred in Dongting Lake, which is generally stable. The Chinese principle is that all government systems have been destroyed, a large number of people have died, and the economy has suffered tremendous damage. Restoring the Central Plains is much more difficult than restoring Jiangnan.

Moreover, many of Zhao Chen's new systems will also be implemented in the Central Plains! If it is implemented in the south of the Yangtze River, there will be too much resistance. In the Central Plains, all local forces, official and gentry forces have been destroyed by the Jurchens, and the implementation of the new system in the Central Plains will hardly encounter resistance. This is why he must go north as soon as possible! As long as Jiangnan is generally stable, he will put down here and return to the north again.

"Jiangnan still has to leave garrisons! There are still bandits in the Lianghuai area, and these must be cleared out!" Zhao Chen said.

"The chaos in the two Huai Rivers is vulnerable. As long as ten to twenty thousand soldiers and horses can be eliminated! Your Majesty, as well as Liu Jiajun and Jiangnan imperial battalions, will also be brought to the north! Leave them in the south. It is also very unfavorable for Jiangnan rule." Wang Shu said.

"I understand! If a good man is not a soldier, many soldiers from Liu Jiajun and Jiangnan Imperial Camp can return home, especially some of them who are older and over forty years old. They will be pleased to hear this news!" Zhao Chen said.

"The situation in the north is tense. We must arrange this as soon as possible." Wang Shu said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your Majesty, all the personnel of the Jiangnan Intelligence Service cannot join the Supervision Department, and some people must stay and still be under the command of the Intelligence Service! These intelligence service personnel can also monitor the actions of the Supervision Department and monitor the intelligence of various parts of Jiangnan. This is also our stay. The next move! If there are still accidents in the south of the Yangtze River, we are in the north and we can immediately send troops to the south! Now the Central Plains is about to be settled. After the Central Plains is settled, we can pull out our hands and there will be more troops available for us to use. Now." Wang Shu said.

"Okay! I listen to you." Zhao Chen nodded.

Wang Shu is quite resourceful, and what he said are all old-fashioned remarks that are good for the stability of Jiangnan.

The sky gradually darkened, and the two men began to return to the town.

The night was already dark, and Zhao Chen went directly to Song Qingyao's room.

Song Qingyao was reading under the light, very carefully.

"What book are you reading?" Zhao Chen smiled.

"Medical book." Song Qingyao said.

Zhao Chen walked over and found out that it was some medical books related to pregnancy, and he couldn't help but laugh now.

"Don't laugh, I have to take care of my body now. I must take care of all of this." Song Qingyao said.

"Sit on the bed, I'll read it to you." Zhao Chen said softly.

Song Qingyao nodded, and immediately sat down on the bed.

The seventh month of the lunar calendar has come to autumn. The weather in this era is cold, and the night is already a bit cold. Song Qingyao covered her body with a thin quilt.

Zhao Chen read slowly under the lamp, and Song Qingyao listened relaxedly there.

After a long time, Zhao Chen finished reading, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't read too much, you can't remember too much. Moreover, in the future, there will be an imperial doctor to take care of your body, so don't be afraid of problems."

Song Qingyao nodded and said, "It's not early, I'll go to bed first, and you can go."

Zhao Chen was taken aback, and said, "Why should I leave?"

Song Qingyao said: "Then what are you going to do? This is my room."

Zhao Chen smiled and said: "You are my wife, I am naturally with you."

Song Qingyao's face was reddened, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm pregnant, I can't accompany you."

Zhao Chen said: "I just hold you and won't do other things."

Song Qingyao hesitated for a while, and said: "Okay! You must not move, if the child is affected, it will be bad."

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Okay."

They were lying on a bed that night, Zhao Chen smelled the beautiful woman beside him, but unfortunately couldn't do anything. But no matter what, with Song Qingyao, he has a very warm and relaxed feeling. In the middle of the night, Song Qingyao leaned into his arms to fall asleep, and his heart was very happy.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Chen asked a few maids to accompany Song Qingyao out to play. Zhao Chen himself continued to deal with official affairs. These days, officials from the surrounding prefectures came to visit him, Zhao Chen Meeting these officials was also very busy.

In the afternoon, he discussed with Wu Jie about eliminating the Lianghuai bandits.

The strength of the Lianghuai bandits is extremely weak. In history, Yue Fei almost effortlessly wiped them out in a very short time. Now that Wu Jie is in the south of the Yangtze River, leading a hundred thousand elite soldiers, there will be no problem in eliminating the Lianghuai bandits!

"Your Majesty, you can leave Wu Lin in Jiangnan! The final will want to enter the Central Plains and fight against Jurchen! Jurchen is the enemy of our Han people, and the final military training for six years, not to pacify Jiangnan, but to fight against Jurchen! Hope, Your Majesty Can satisfy the wish of the final general!" Wu Jie pleaded.

"This... only Wu Lin can eliminate the gangsters in Lianghuai? How many soldiers and horses does Jiangnan need to keep to guard?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, as long as 50,000 people remain in the Yangtze River navy are enough to eliminate the bandits in the Lianghuai, and to guard the south of the Yangtze River so that there will be no turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River! The general will lead 50,000 people to follow your Majesty northward! Our big ship is very strong. Some time ago, I Once led the big ship out to sea, there was no problem in navigating at sea. We went north on the coastal road to participate in the battle of the Central Plains!" Wu Jie said.
