Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Your Majesty, is the Supervision Division's power too great?" Wang De and Kang An said as they headed towards the town, while Wang Shu stayed by Zhao Chen's side.

"That's right, it's a bit too big! How can you limit the power of the supervisory department?" Zhao Chen said, he was thinking about this issue just now.

"Your Majesty, it hasn't been long since Jiangnan was recovered. For the sake of Jiangnan's stability, we cannot replace all the officials in Jiangnan, so you have to set up this supervision department! When the world is peaceful in the future, this supervision department must not be allowed to exist anymore. Otherwise, after decades or hundreds of years, this supervisory department is likely to bring disaster to the world." Wang Shu said.

"You are smart." Zhao Chen smiled.

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

Historically, Jinyiwei had too much power, and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not at ease in the end, so the emperors of the Ming Dynasty established the East Factory to check and balance the Jinyiwei, and then the West Factory appeared in the Ming Dynasty to check and balance the East. Factory and Jinyiwei, for a period of time, inner factories appeared to check and balance the East Factory, West Factory, and Jinyiwei.

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

"Your Majesty, at present, Li Gang and Li can be used to limit the power of the Supervision Division! The Supervision Division can investigate, capture, and interrogate officials at will, but they must notify Li Gang and Li before they capture officials. If Li does not agree, they cannot Capture! Master Li is a clean and honest official, loyal and absolutely trustworthy." Wang Shu said.

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

Li Gang was in Lin'an, and the Supervision Department was investigating and arresting corrupt officials in various places. If Li Gang had to be notified of anything, it would probably take a lot of time. Of course, Zhao Chen also had absolute trust in Li Gang's moral character, and I'm afraid that there are few people in this world with higher moral character than Li Gang.

"It's just a waste of time. It's much better than the supervisory department being so powerful that no one can rule 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 said with a smile: "In this way, at least there will be no major problems for the Supervision Department now! With Mr. Li Gang around, the Supervision Department can also be used with confidence now."

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

He left Sichuan and Shu in February, and killed Zhao Gou in March, and it has been July now!

In the past few months, he first appeased the officials in the south of the Yangtze River, decreed that as long as they took refuge in the new court, all previous crimes would be forgiven, he also decreed to reduce agricultural and commercial taxes, exempt taxes in many places, inspect everywhere, visit the people, To appease the people! He also promoted Huang Qianshan, Zhang Jun, Chen Dong and many other officials in order to appease these officials! Afterwards, he personally came to Dongting Lake to calm down the bandit chaos in Dongting Lake, and to provide disaster relief here is also to appease the hearts of the people!

In addition, the Propaganda Department has also entered various places in Jiangnan, and now a Supervision Department has been established to prevent corruption of Jiangnan officials.

After all these policies are implemented, there will definitely be no major turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River!

Jiangnan is stable, and Jiangnan's economy is slowly recovering. Now is the time to take out your hands and go 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 was much more serious than Jiangnan! The government system in the south of the Yangtze River is basically complete. Although the people in the south of the Yangtze River are living in hardship because of Zhao Gou's oppression, they have not yet reached the point where a large number of people died. Only a small-scale peasant uprising occurred in Dongting Lake, which is generally stable. The Chinese principle is that all government systems are destroyed, a large number of people die, and the economy suffers great damage. Restoring the Central Plains is much more difficult than restoring the 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 the local forces, officials and gentry forces have been destroyed by the Jurchens, and there will be almost no resistance to implementing the new system in the Central Plains. This is why he must go north as soon as possible! As long as Jiangnan is generally stable, he will leave here and return to the north again.

"Jiangnan still has to keep the garrison! There are still bandits in the Lianghuai area, and these must be eliminated!" Zhao Chen said.

"The bandits in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River are vulnerable to a single blow. Only 10,000 to 20,000 troops can be eliminated! Your Majesty, the Liu Family Army, and the Jiangnan Imperial Battalion must all be brought to the north! Leave them in the south. It is also very detrimental to the rule of Jiangnan." Wang Shu said.

"I understand! Good men don't serve as soldiers. Many soldiers from Liu Jiajun and Jiangnan Imperial Battalion can go home, especially some of them are older, over forty years old. They will be delighted to hear the news!" Zhao Chen said.

"The situation in the north is tense, we need to arrange this matter as soon as possible," Wang Shu said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your Majesty, all the personnel of the Jiangnan Intelligence Department cannot join the Supervision Department, and some people must remain under the leadership of the Intelligence Department! These intelligence department personnel can also monitor the actions of the Supervision Department and monitor the intelligence of various places in Jiangnan. The next move! If there is still an accident in the south of the Yangtze River, we can send a large army to the south immediately in the north! Now the Central Plains is about to be pacified, and when the Central Plains are pacified, we can draw our hands and have more troops at our disposal It's gone." Wang Shu said.

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

Wang Shu is quite resourceful, and what he said are old-fashioned words for the country, which are good for the stability of Jiangnan.

The sky gradually turned dark, and the two began to return to the town.

*** ***

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

Song Qingyao was reading a book under the lamp, very carefully.

"What book are you reading?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile.

"Medical books." Song Qingyao said.

Zhao Chen walked over, only to find out that they were some medical books related to pregnancy, so he couldn't help laughing.

"Don't laugh, I have to take care of my health now, so I have to see all of these." Song Qingyao said.

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

Song Qingyao nodded and sat down on the bed.

It's autumn in the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The climate 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, while Song Qingyao listened relaxedly.

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

Song Qingyao nodded and said: "It's getting late, I'll go to bed first, you can go."

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

Song Qingyao said: "Then what do you want? This is my room."

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "You are my wife, so I will be with you naturally."

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

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

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

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Okay."

That night they lay on the same bed, Zhao Chen could smell the beauty beside him, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything. But no matter what, when he was with Song Qingyao, he felt very warm and relaxed. In the middle of the night, Song Qingyao fell asleep in his arms, and he was very happy.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Chen asked someone to find a few maids and went out to play with Song Qingyao, while Zhao Chen continued to deal with official business. During these days, officials from the surrounding states came to visit him one after another. Zhao Chen Meeting these officials is also very busy.

In the afternoon, he discussed with Wu Jie about eliminating the bandits in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River.

The Lianghuai bandits are extremely weak. Historically, Yue Fei wiped them out almost effortlessly in a very short time. Now that Wu Jie is in the south of the Yangtze River, leading 100,000 elite soldiers, there will be no problem in eradicating the Lianghuai bandits!

"Your Majesty, just leave Wu Lin in the south of the Yangtze River! The general wants to enter the Central Plains and fight against the Jurchen! The Jurchen is our great enemy of the Han people. The purpose of training for six years is not to pacify the south of the Yangtze River, but to fight against the Jurchen! I hope your majesty Can fulfill the wish of the general!" Wu Jie begged.

"This... only leaving Wu Lin alone, can we eliminate the Lianghuai bandits? How many soldiers and horses do we need to keep in the south of the Yangtze River?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, as long as we leave 50,000 people in the Yangtze River Navy, it will be enough to eliminate the bandits in the two Huaihe Rivers, and it will be enough to guard the south of the Yangtze River so that there will be no turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River! The last general will lead 50,000 people to follow His Majesty to the north! Our big ship is very strong. Some time ago I I used to lead a big ship out to sea, and there was no problem in sailing on the sea, so we went north along the coastal road to participate in the battle of the Central Plains!" Wu Jie said.
