(Easter egg at the end of the chapter, picture of cabinet ministers being punished!)
Outside Da'an Gate, officials came out one after another.
The officials looked solemn, as if they were all worried, and none of them spoke.
Although the court meeting is over, the warning "Don't say anything unforeseen" is still echoing in the ears of the officials, which makes them feel ups and downs.
After Zhao Yanxun scolded him, some people woke up and decided to work steadily in the future and never go against the emperor's will again.
But there were also some people who were greatly shocked during the court meeting, but when they "calmed down" after the court meeting, they felt that the emperor was too harsh and did not save face for the courtiers at all.
Of course, Zhao Yanxun has the power to wipe out everything, so these people can only hold back their resentment.
Don't say it without warning, this sentence is really not a joke...
The courtiers dispersed one after another, and at this moment, a summons was taking place in the main hall of Qian'an Palace.
Now, the four ministers in the cabinet, the second assistant Xie Xiaofang has gone to the south, and only three ministers are still in Beijing.
At this moment, three cabinet ministers were kneeling in the main hall, with memorials placed beside them, reporting the situation to Zhao Yanxun.
"It's hard, it's hard... I've said so much, but this is the word hard!"
"If it's not difficult, then anyone can go to Gaba, so why should I bother you?" Zhao Yanxun's face was filled with anger.
"I will die!" Wang Tinghe responded.
Standing up from the dragon chair, Zhao Yanxun walked to Wang Tinghe and said in a deep voice: "There are difficulties in inventorying the land. I know this. What you have to do is to eliminate all difficulties!"
"If anyone obstructs you, punish him if he should be punished. If anyone violates the rules, you should kill the chicken to scare the monkey..."
"There are many ways to deal with this group of people. Why don't you take measures? Is it possible to negotiate the price of the court's laws?"
Zhao Yanxun said it easily, but that was for him personally.
Although Wang Tinghe is not the chief minister of the cabinet, he is now responsible for this errand. He cannot complete it alone. He has to rely on the officials below.
Therefore, what is really difficult to deal with is not the local big families, but the unified bureaucracy.
What we are doing now will harm the interests of all officials and gentry, and everyone will naturally unite to oppose it.
"Mr. Wangge, you know better than me what to do. With me supporting you from behind, what are you afraid of?" Zhao Yanxun bent down and asked.
Wang Tinghe did not dare to raise his head at this moment. He could only reply tremblingly: "Old minister, I have failed the emperor's holy grace!"
When Wang Tinghe kowtowed, Zhao Yanxun waved to Wu Hong, who immediately brought a tray with several large stacks of memorials placed on it.
Picking up a few books at random, Zhao Yanxun threw them in front of Wang Tinghe and said: "These...are the memorials received today to impeach you!"
"There will be more than a dozen such memorials every day. I have suppressed them all for you. You can take a good look at them and see if they are right or not!"
The news of the land survey and impeachment by the people below is not new. Wang Tinghe knew that it was all suppressed by Zhao Yanxun.
But when these memorials were actually placed in front of him, and when he opened them and found that what he said was true, Wang Tinghe couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"I suppressed you in the past, and I will do the same in the future. I have only one request... No matter how difficult it is, you must do your job well and don't be affected by the noise below!"
"Do you understand?"
Taking advantage of today's court meeting, Zhao Yanxun made a speech in order to shock many people both inside and outside the court.
Nowadays, various major events in the imperial court are unfolding, and if some people are not deterred, trouble may very well arise.
In fact, with Zhao Yanxun's statement at the court meeting, the three cabinet ministers present realized the emperor's firm determination to reform.
I talked a lot at the meeting, but I can sum it up in just eight words.
Those who follow me will prosper, those who go against me will perish!
"I understand!"
Sitting back on the dragon chair, Zhao Yanxun said solemnly: "As long as you understand, I don't want to hear your complaints again. I only hope that you will report it next time so that I can see that the officials who caused trouble have been dismissed and the families who obstructed governance have been confiscated...

He picked up the tea cup and asked Lu Chaowen: "Tell me about the resettlement situation of the refugees in each county!"
Lu Chaowen and Cheng Wenguang are jointly responsible for this matter, and it is now being carried out in an orderly manner.
In fact, while doing this, these two people were also responsible for collecting taxes and coordinating errands for granaries in various places.
The two of them are also responsible for handling daily government affairs, large and small. It can be said that they are very busy.
When his name was called, Lu Chaowen began to introduce.
But after listening for a while, Zhao Yanxun threw out the memorial in his hand before Lu Chaowen could finish speaking.
"Mr. Lu Ge, it has been almost two months and we have only arranged for 150,000 people. What do you mean?"
"There are at least two million refugees walking in various counties in the Central Plains. When will you arrange to go?" Zhao Yanxun asked sternly.
He has actually been paying attention to these situations and only raised questions today.
His various performances today all revealed a mentality, that is, Zhao Yanxun was anxious.
He is really anxious right now, just because in mid-March, the temperature in the Central Plains is still not very high, which means that this year's grain production will inevitably decrease.
In other words, if the scope of production is not expanded as much as possible, a food shortage this year is almost inevitable.
Although Zhao Yanxun's system now has many skill points, the upper limit of exchange per quarter is only 200,000. Even if all of them are converted into food, it still cannot close the food gap.
What's more, his system's ability to exchange points can be exchanged for other things.
At present, war clouds are gathering in the northwest, and the zombies south of the river have not yet been completely eliminated. These are enough to make Zhao Yanxun anxious.
Although it is said that rushing cannot solve the problem, if Zhao Yanxun does not show it, these people below will not act urgently.
"Reporting to the emperor, collecting and distributing food, settling the refugee formations, and selecting and appointing officials all take time..." Lu Chaowen replied bravely.
As a cabinet minister, Lu Chaowen also felt a lot of pressure when facing the emperor's anger, and he only felt scared when he answered.
Zhao Yanxun said coldly: "That's normal. In these extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be used. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I will supervise you more after I go down..." Lu Chaowen replied cautiously.
The hall fell into silence. The three cabinet ministers each had their own thoughts, but they all felt that their positions were difficult to fill.
Of course, the only reason for all this was because of meeting the emperor Zhao Yanxun.
The emperor who was too strong made them unable to breathe, especially when he was angry.
But then, Zhao Yanxun's tone became calmer.
Just listen to him say: "You three all know in your heart what situation the imperial court is in now and what situation the Jin Dynasty is in now!"
"It's not that I'm eager for quick success, but we really don't have much time left!"
"The latest report from the northwest states that the Hu people's army has been gathering outside the Pass. It is initially estimated that there are at least 100,000 people. The foreign invasion is extremely serious!"
Of course, the greater foreign troubles of the Jin Dynasty came from unknown forces further west.
These people drove away the barbarians, and it seems that they are also moving eastward. They may also confront the Jin Dynasty in the future.
According to the latest information from Jinyiwei, the main reason why the barbarians outside the pass and the barbarians from the west moved eastward was the gradually lengthening winter.
Because winters have become longer, crop yields have decreased, forcing those people to move eastward.
In other words, winters in Dajin have become longer, while climate changes in the far west are even greater.
More detailed information will depend on Jin Yiwei's subsequent investigation.
After hearing the above introduction, all the cabinet ministers were shocked, and they understood Zhao Yanxun's thoughts better.
"Monsters appear in the world, natural disasters continue, and foreign enemies invade. It can be said that the situation has changed unprecedentedly in a thousand years..."
"Everyone... you and I, the emperor and our ministers, are responsible for the safety of the world, how can we not work hard?" Zhao Yanxun said with a serious expression.
