During the spring and autumn seasons, when people are farming, they do not grow crops. This often happened in the ancient times in Zhao Lin's previous life.
For this reason, Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty specially came up with the Qingmiao Law to help the people overcome difficulties.
Although the Qingmiao method has many advantages, it also has many disadvantages.
Due to the problems of forced apportionment and increased interest rates by local officials during the implementation process, the burden on some farmers has increased, causing social conflicts.
In addition, the Qingmiao Law was strongly opposed by conservatives and became one of the focal points of controversy surrounding Wang Anshi's reforms.
It is difficult to implement it nationwide.
But Zhao Lin only needs to govern Qingzhou well. As for other places, Feng Siyuan will naturally take care of them. It has nothing to do with him.
The more Feng Siyuan thought about it, the more he felt that this method was effective. He exclaimed in admiration, "No wonder His Majesty directly appointed you as prefect. But a prefect is a waste of talent. He should have directly been made a governor."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Your Excellency is kind. If you are willing to adopt this method, I am willing to take on the responsibility of growing grain in the three states, including Qingzhou. Of course, apart from Qingzhou, the other two states will need to be distributed by you yourself."
Feng Siyuan nodded repeatedly: "I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of those two states."
Xu Zhong said, "Lord Zhao's actions are truly meritorious. No wonder Lord Li and Lord Fu think so highly of you and can't stop praising you in front of His Majesty. You should know that these two lords are always strict and never praise others easily."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "I just paid a little money. It was all Lord Feng who made the decision. I will write to my father-in-law and mentor about this matter. If anything goes wrong, it will be Lord Feng's responsibility."
"Haha, just tell me, I will take all the responsibility." Feng Siyuan laughed.
Feng Siyuan became more and more satisfied.
Look, look, Zhao Lin is now a real human being.
All the credit should go to the boss, that's the right thing to do.
Such a smart person, with a powerful backer, it seems I have to build a good relationship with him in the future.
At this moment, Feng Siyuan was very glad that he did not go against Zhao Lin.
Zhao Mingya had a complicated expression.
She didn't expect that Zhao Lin could solve such a big problem so easily and also do Feng Siyuan such a big favor.
In fact, Zhao Lin also thinks long-term.
He wanted to move up, and his goal was naturally to become the governor, or directly enter the center. He couldn't waste time in other positions.
The position that suits him best at the moment is Feng Siyuan's.
Then we have to find a way to move Feng Siyuan away.
There is nothing easier than getting Feng Siyuan promoted without offending anyone.
Anyway, Li Xingye and Fu Chengwang both know about his contribution, and it won’t be taken away by others.
Xu Zhong praised repeatedly.
Zhao Lin is the one who is truly talented and capable.
Compared with them, Zhao Chenhan and his group were simply disgusting.
at this time.
Suddenly, shouts and cries of killing were heard on Carp Island.
Then flames shot up into the sky.
“They really went up!”
Xu Zhong stood up suddenly and said in surprise.
Zhao Mingya stood up nervously and said, "What happened? What happened? Can they succeed? But don't provoke the rebels and kill Chen Han and the others."
No one paid any attention to Zhao Mingya, everyone was looking at Carp Island.
We were several miles away and it was late at night, so we couldn't see the situation on Carp Island, but we could tell that the fire was very big. The chaotic sounds of people shouting and horses neighing inside could be heard here, but we couldn't hear them clearly.
"Don't worry, there will be results soon."
Zhao Lin drank tea leisurely.
But the three of them were not in the mood.
Zhao Mingya was worried about Zhao Chenhan, and Xu Zhong was worried about these young masters, fearing that the rebels would kill them in anger to vent their anger.
Feng Siyuan was also worried about this group of young masters, but he was afraid that if one of them died, he would earn less money.
After more than two hours, someone finally emerged from the sealed gate. Wearing Qingzhou Army armor and covered in blood, he came before Zhao Lin and knelt on one knee. "General, we have captured the rebel leader. Please lead your army into the camp to deter the rebels."
"good!"
Zhao Lin stood up suddenly and shouted, "Brothers, it's time for you to make a contribution. The brothers ahead have captured the rebel leader. Your mission is to capture all the rebels. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy! Let's go!"
Zhao Lin mounted his horse and led the troops personally, with the large flag with the word "Zhao" fluttering in the wind in the night.
Zhao Lin led the remaining 27,000 people and marched forward in an orderly manner.
The Qingzhou army's flags were flying and the formation was neat. Xu Zhong and Feng Siyuan's expressions changed slightly as they watched.
Feng Siyuan was fine, as he knew nothing about military affairs. Xu Zhong himself was a general, so how could he not see the strength of Zhao Lin's Qingzhou army?
"The Qingzhou Army is absolutely worthy of the title of elite. Lord Zhao has only been here for a year, how did he train such elite soldiers?" Xu Zhong whispered.
Zhao Mingya's expression also changed.
Even if she was unwilling to admit it at this moment, she could see that Zhao Lin was extraordinary.
While the rebels were preoccupied with themselves, the Qingzhou army dug up the mound blocking the village gate and marched straight in to join forces with the special forces led by Chen Qifeng.
Although the 30,000 people were a far cry from the 140,000, 150,000, or 160,000 people on the island, these 30,000 people were elite soldiers in Xu Zhong's eyes, and even more terrifying in the eyes of the rebel mob.
The Qingzhou army's 5,000 cavalry just charged and the rebels collapsed, running around crying for their parents. The Qingzhou army only needed to follow behind and kill them with swords.
"Kneel down and surrender, and you won't be killed."
Such sounds are everywhere.
The ground was littered with people kneeling.
Some are rebels, and some are the families of rebels.
Some people wanted to gather together to resist, but without exception they were defeated by several Qingzhou cavalrymen and then hacked to death without mercy.
More than two hours passed, and the sky gradually brightened before Zhao Lin sent someone to invite Feng Siyuan and others over.
"Master Zhao..., where are Chen Han and the others?"
As soon as they met, Zhao Mingya asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry, he's in the cell, he's not dead."
Zhao Lin casually pointed at a soldier and said, "Take Miss Zhao Wu to the cell."
Zhao Lin was busy cleaning up the battle situation and had no time to care about that group of people, even if he had time.
Zhao Mingya didn't care about anything else and hurried to the cell. When she saw Zhao Chenhan, she was so excited that tears came out. She took a few quick steps and almost threw herself into Zhao Chenhan's arms. Suddenly she came to her senses and stopped, saying, "I'm so glad you're okay."
Zhao Chenhan smiled and said, "Fifth sister, you're here. It seems that the soldiers have captured Carp Island and defeated the rebels?"
Zhao Chenhan nodded and said, "Yeah."
Zhao Chenhan asked, "Which general is leading the troops so quickly?"
"yes……"
Just as Zhao Mingya was about to say his name, he sighed and said, "Come out first and we'll talk later."
The soldiers opened the cell and Zhao Chenhan and others came out.
Zhao Chenhan said to his fellow young men, "Our benefactor must be in the meeting room ahead. Let's go and see which general is so brave that he could attack the camp in the middle of the night and succeed."
Zhao Mingya said quickly, "You must be tired after staying in the cell for a few days. Go back and take a shower and have a good sleep. It won't be too late to see you tomorrow."
Zhao Chenhan waved his hand and said, "He saved our lives, how can we just ignore him? Let's go and take a look together."
