In the west of Kaifeng Prefecture, just at the end of an alley called Micang Lane near Wanshengmen Street, there is a row of "Shikumen" courtyards built by Wanjia Real Estate. Among them, the gate of a "Shikumen" facing the street is hung with signs of "Retro Society" and "Retro Daily".

That’s right, here is the base camp of the Retro Society founded by the Six Retro Gentlemen. It is also the editorial department of the Retro Society’s “Journey Newspaper” Retro Daily.

It was a bit surprising. This learning that Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty, survived until the end of Zhenghe's fifth year, and was about to be in the sixth year of Zhenghe.

The Retro Society not only survived, but also received donations from several patriotic gentry merchants in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, it was able to rent the property, open its own newspaper, and promote its own ideas with great fanfare.

In addition to promoting the proposals of "Trishang Zhou reform, curbing mergers, and strengthening the army with all fields", this retro society also became a powerful helper for He Li to carry out clearing fields and inspecting land near Kaifeng Prefecture.

He Li's current dispatch is in charge of rice fields, and a sesame and green bean official under Taifu Temple. Kaifeng Mansion, where high-ranking officials are everywhere and there are many nobles, is really inconspicuous at all. Not to mention that those officials with a large number of hidden fields do not take him seriously, even the public officials under rice fields, and another active official sent by the palace will not take He Li Tai seriously.

But He Li actually controlled the Retro Society, which is actually an organization of political parties. In the Retro Society, there are two leaders of the Imperial Academy with strong abilities in activities.

They can not only mobilize public opinion and put pressure on the nobles who oppose the Qingtian Prevention, but also directly mobilize mathematics and painting talents from the Qingcheng Academy to help He Li check the fields.

The field checking skills mastered by those public officials are not worth mentioning in front of the Qingcheng Bachelor who is good at calculation and drawing.

So many hidden fields were found soon!

Of course, the nobles in Kaifeng Prefecture were not vegetarians. They quickly came up with countermeasures. Through reporting and leaking information in newspapers, they led the rice field affairs to Queen Zheng's relatives.

This Empress Zheng is the favored queen! Isn’t it equivalent to checking the fields of the queen’s parents? Isn’t the fields of the queen the emperor’s fields?

If He Li couldn't continue to investigate, then other relatives would not be afraid. At worst, they would send all the hidden fields found to the queen's parents' home or other royal relatives.

If He Li wants to investigate, haha, the current official family is famous for protecting the shortcomings!

Last time, He Li impeached Wu Haowen and had already offended the officials. Now that she is provoking Empress Zheng again, she will wait to go to the Censorate to drink chicken soup.

But the development of things was unexpected. Just when He Li felt stumbling, shocking news came from the north that 2,000 soldiers in Zhou defeated the 100,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom in Yuanyanglu!

The Blast Zhou is so powerful that he already has the strength to sweep the world!

Chen Dong, who actually presided over the affairs of the Retro Society, immediately seized the opportunity and published articles in newspapers such as Retro Japan, Shilin Xinbao, and Qingliubao that advocated or sympathized with retro, advocating that Zhou State's military strength was strong and attributed the strength of Zhou State to "suppressing mergers" and "strong army of equal fields".

The public opinion of the capital suddenly changed drastically. The voice of advocating retro reform suddenly sounded, and the Imperial City Department even heard Juntian's call in the Zhaoyi Former Army camp stationed in Wanshengmen.

The foundation of the Zhaoyi Army was the training of the landlords. Although it imitated the Zhou Republic Army and built a knight manor and a manor manor, it was possible to imagine what it could be done. The interests of the landlord class could not be touched, and the Zhaoyi Army did not have the expansion ability of the Zhou army and could not steal other people's land. They could only do something on the limited "borderless land", so most of the Zhaoyi soldiers still had no land.

The Zhaoyi army soldiers who had no land were of course envious of the Zhou knight manor and the countryside of the country. The Zhaoyi army's territory was close to the Zhou country, so they naturally knew what the situation was in the Zhou country.

That is really a paradise for warriors... So the soldiers of the Zhaoyi army stationed in Wanshengmen knew the views of the Retro Society and expressed their support.

Because of the call of Juntian in Zhaoyi's former army, Zhao Ji's hereditary timidity broke out and he did not dare to frame the retro loyal and loyal for the time being. The impeachment memorial of the Censorate was also suppressed by him.

Since Wu Haogu and Zhangli are role models, the warriors in the Song Dynasty are now much harder! At worst, they can vote with their feet... If all the warriors leave, how many nerds and literati can protect the world of the Song Dynasty?

How could Zhao Ji know about the concerns of the retro scholars? Although they found the root cause of the weak force of the Song Dynasty, they did not know that it was because of the weak force of the Song Dynasty that they were given the opportunity to ascend to the Hall of the Emperor.

If the Song Dynasty really had "returned to Zhou", how could there be the status of a scholar-official doctor who came from the imperial examination?

Without the imperial examination literati and officials, can the world of Song Dynasty be stable?

From a certain perspective, the retro party members who advocated the reverie of Zhou and Kang Liang, who published articles in newspapers all day long, were actually all the people...

In the inner hall of the Retro Society, Chen Dong, who is now a little hot, has been passing the class of the Imperial Academy again today, and is busy writing a book to prepare an article refuting Kang Liang. Although Kang Liang is "fighting alone", somehow, his influence is no worse than that of the Retro Society! Among the merchants and ministers in Kaifeng Prefecture, there are quite some supporters.

Kang Liang's proposition was somewhat confrontational to the retro scholar, which was a clear opposition to suppress the merger and the equal land. Kang Liang believed that the Zhou State was building equal land on the basis of expansion, and the equal land must be the land of other countries, not their own land.

Moreover, the land annexed by the Zhou State had no problem with private land. Whether it was the Liao State or the Goryeo State, they were basically state-owned (officially owned), and private land was very small.

It is the land owned by the enemy country, so it can naturally be disposed of. If it is allocated to the knights, the soldiers of the government become the land of the ranks, and of course, the transaction and division are prohibited.

Most of the land in the Song Dynasty was private land. Even if there was a loss of contract and tax evasion, the loss of private land should not be reissued, tax evasion should be reissued, and tax evasion should be reissued. Confiscation of private land was a robbery of the people of the Song Dynasty!

As for further implementation of land restrictions, it would be a more open robbery, which would definitely cause chaos in the world and would push the Song Dynasty into an abyss that would never be restored.

On the basis of opposing equalization of land and restriction of land, Kang Liang also proposed the idea of ​​"conscription of land", believing that those who own land not only have the responsibility to pay taxes, but also have the right to defend the land and protect the country. The wealth in the world is mainly based on land. The more land you own, the more rule of the Song Dynasty, and of course there will be more obligations to defend the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the big landlords have the obligation to provide troops to the court... It is not that they want the landlords to join the army themselves, but that they want them to provide rural soldiers based on the amount of land they own. If the number of rural soldiers provided reaches a certain number, the landlord's family can assign officers.

Of course, the court cannot ask the landlords to do their best. They should provide certain compensation, either to grant official positions or to reduce taxes.

At the same time, the imperial examination system that seems fair but specializes in using useless people should be abolished. Instead, a school and military merits that cultivate talents should be cultivated, and a scholar should be replaced by merit.

This will encourage everyone to join the army and make contributions or learn useful knowledge...

Just as Chen Dong quoted classics and wrote quickly, and was about to refute Kang Liang with a magnificent article, the door of the inner hall was suddenly pushed open, and it was He Li who walked in.

"Wenzhen, are you here?" Chen Dong put down his brush and looked up at He Li with a frown slightly, "What? What happened?"

"Shaoyang, the Jin Kingdom has surrendered to us!"

"What?" Chen Dong was stunned, "Who heard?"

"I met Geng Xi when I was checking the fields in the south of the city today."

Geng Xidao's name was Nan Zhong, a native of Kaifeng. He was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Yuanfeng. In the second year of Zhenghe, he became the right concubine of the prince. The actual job of the position of Prince Zhanshi was to teach Prince Zhao Huan to study.

By the way, after Zhao Ji returned to Kaifeng Prefecture, he finally gave the crown prince's throne to Zhao Huan. Now Zhao Huan is already the official crown prince of the Song Empire!

But whether you can ascend the throne has to continue working hard!

After all, Zhao Ji was in great prosperity in the Spring and Autumn Period and was in a surprisingly good health. Therefore, as the prince's teacher, Geng Nanzhong was not a hot official.

Because the prince supported the Retro Party, Geng Nanzhong got a little closer to He Li.

"Then you can't be wrong... But how could such a thing happen?" Chen Dong still felt unbelievable.

"Let's connect the Jin Dynasty to make the Zhou Dynasty!" He Li said, "The court is also preparing to give the grassland on the north bank of Hetao to the Jin Kingdom."

"Isn't that the territory of Liangguo?"

"Haha, where is the Jin Kingdom worth the country in Liang?"

"But what if Liang Kingdom falls to Zhou Kingdom, wouldn't it be..."

He Li shook her head: "Not yet, the court has a way to appease me. However, the iron must be strong himself. Just relying on the joints and gold alone cannot control Zhou."

He paused, "Today, in Chongzheng Hall, Grand Master Cai also mentioned reform and self-improvement."

Chen Dong asked: "Cai Jing supports retro?"

"No support," He Li said, "he said our retro is nonsense."

"Then is he...supporting Kang Liang?"

"Most!" He Li snorted, "Kang Liang's proposal is always about wealthy families and powerful families. It is not just about reform and strengthening. It is clearly about profiting for wealthy families and trying to eliminate the path to promotion to poor families."

Chen Dong slapped the table suddenly, "The country has reached such a level, and they are still blindly favoring themselves... By the way, what do the officials say?"

"The official didn't say anything, he just wanted to marry Wu Haogu."

Chen Dong shook his head: "There are the same in the official family. Is it still hoped that Wu Haogu could remember the old love?"

He looked at He Li, "Wenzhen, should we submit another memorial and oppose marriage?"
