If the "Program" and "Measures" are promulgated, they will naturally cause long-lasting shocks in Liangzhou officialdom.
This was what Liu Zheng expected.
Reform is never easy.
Although Chen Ping is dead, the original local forces will be the biggest resistance and roadblock to reform.
after all.
No one wants to give up the power in their hands. Power has been something that makes people crazy since ancient times.
Liu Zheng also thought about it.
If this group of old forces would work in secret, he would support some new forces to come forward... But based on his understanding of Liangzhou these days, he felt that he was still too idealistic.
New force?
Liangzhou's class solidification has been passed down for more than a thousand years. Who among those who can do something is not a disciple of these old forces?
Liangzhou is too big, unlike Yinzhou, it is just a state or county.
It is impossible for Liu Zheng to just pick anyone to take charge of a department in Liangzhou like he did before with Wei Tiezhu and Liang Erfu.
Even the method of building corps in the Western Regions is not suitable for Liangzhou Prefecture at this time.
"Master, haven't you rested yet?"
Liu Zheng was thinking hard when a man knocked on the door and entered.
Liu Zheng smiled and called him to come and sit down. This man is none other than Chen Mingze, one of Jiang Xuan's brothers. The last judicial reform was caused by him.
Chen Mingze was a rare educated person among the gang of thieves brought out by Jiang Xuan. He was literate and had a flexible mind.
"I asked you to investigate. Do you have any news?"
Liu Zheng poured him a cup of tea himself.
Chen Mingze was flattered and stood up to take the cup of tea, and then said: "Sir, my subordinates have found out that the person who instigated people to come to Liangzhou Prefecture to cause trouble today is Salt Transport Envoy Ying Rong!"
Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Is this serious?"
Chen Mingze clasped his fists: "It's absolutely true, Mingze guarantees it with his life!"
Good guy!
Is it that Ying Rong?
Ying Rong is indeed a powerful figure in Liangzhou Prefecture, for no other reason than that the position of Salt Transport Envoy requires people, money, and a high level of rank. Moreover, he was the one who took the lead in taking down Chen Ping and the first person to declare his allegiance to Liu Zheng.
did not expect……
It turned out to be him who was causing trouble behind his back.
But after thinking about it, Liu Zheng felt relieved. I heard that this Ying Rong is the talker of the Ying family, a prominent local family. He represents local power and holds an important position. If Liu Zheng's reform affects his position, he will be the most uncomfortable.
Liu Zheng nodded and smiled: "Then what?"
Chen Mingze chuckled: "Master, the Ying family and the Zhou family are incompatible! It's just that the Zhou family lost to the Ying family in the competition for the position of Salt Transport Envoy in the past few years, which led to the Zhou family's participation in politics. The victims were cleared out one by one..."
Liu Zheng smiled: "The Zhou family has been a prominent family for hundreds of years, and the talent pool is still sufficient."
At any rate, he was also the richest second generation in Liangzhou back then, so he had some understanding of the situation in Liangzhou. After the Zhou family was defeated in the struggle for power, they began to lie dormant.
Moreover, in Liu Zheng's memory, behind the Zhou family was the real aristocracy, belonging to the Qin King's faction in Beijing...
After careful calculation, it has been six or seven years since the Zhou family was liquidated.
At this moment, you must be holding a breath of anger in your heart, right?
"Let's see what happens tomorrow. Go and get in touch with the Zhou family. Then write a letter to King Qin to communicate your feelings."
Liu Zheng ordered.
Chen Mingze took the order and left.
…
The next day.
as expected.
As soon as Liu Zheng got up, he got the news.
From high to low in Liangzhou Prefecture, officials at all levels and various departments have shown a lot of inactivity and sabotage.
This is no small matter for Liangzhou.
Soon someone came to Liangzhou Mansion to complain.
"Lord Zhizhou, why has the food and salary agreed upon today not been received for a long time?"
"Lord Zhizhou, many businesses today have deviations in their entry taxes..."
"Lord Zhizhou..."
More and more people are coming to complain.
Liu Zheng said angrily: "Where are the officials in these departments? Are they all working for a living?"
Soon, the people in charge came one by one and started complaining. The business volume is extremely increased today, the weather is bad today, I have a headache today, a lot of fake money appeared in the entry tax today, I need to verify something today...
In short, for various reasons, Liu Zheng could only watch and had no way to do anything.
Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Liu Dahao was also angry: "You have a headache and a fever, where is your deputy!"
"Sir, the deputy's sow is giving birth to piglets, so he needs to take three days off..."
"Get out, get out of here!"
Liu Dahao was so angry that his nose was crooked.
Liu Zheng was also dumbfounded. These people were really going too far. Even his own father dared to tease and humiliate them like this?
Then he secretly winked at Chen Mingze behind him. Chen Mingze naturally understood and took note of these officials who were passive and slow in their work.
These people all winked and looked lazily, as if they were still watching the Liu family's father and son's joke.
seems to be saying.
We're like this, what can you do?
Unexpectedly, Liu Zheng laughed and said: "In that case, let me inform you that everyone in Liangzhou Prefecture, from top to bottom, is on holiday! All officials, no matter how big or small, are here to attend the enlarged cabinet meeting in the afternoon!"
"What?"
"Have a holiday?"
"this……"
This group of people was shocked on the spot.
no……
This rhythm is wrong.
Shouldn't the entire Liangzhou government be paralyzed and Liu Zhizhou be so anxious that he finally compromises with these people?
Why did Liu Zhizhou not follow the routine and just give everyone a holiday?
What about Liangzhou Prefecture?
What about this government affairs?
These people looked at each other, and their hearts suddenly panicked.
"My son, my son, do you really want to give them a holiday?"
Liu Dahao was also a little confused.
Liu Zheng nodded: "In the future, every Liangzhou Assembly will last for one month. During the first seven days of this month, except for necessary departments, all other government affairs will be suspended!"
Liu Dahao was sweating coldly: "This...isn't this going to cause chaos?"
Liu Zheng said decisively: "A great deal of chaos can only be cured. If we don't let them be in chaos, it won't be so smooth when we manage it. Dad, don't worry, let them run around for a few days first."
Then he laughed again: "Not only do we want chaos, we also want to add fuel to the flames!"
"He wants us to give up?"
"Then let them know that only those who win the hearts and minds of the people can win the world!"
After saying that, Liu Zheng walked towards the venue he had prepared for this conference.
follow closely.
The news that everyone in Liangzhou Prefecture was on holiday spread throughout the city.
Everyone was almost stunned.
Have a holiday?
What about this government affairs?
Isn’t this Liangzhou Prefecture just making a fool of itself?
Many people rolled up their sleeves and wanted to come to Liangzhou Mansion to cause trouble again.
But then...
Liu Zheng's operation made those passive-aggressive guys want to die.
