Chapter 333 Clearing hidden dangers and making enemies

Sun Xin paid special attention to this year's meeting of the supervisory committee. In Xie Zhen's view, Xie Bao's success in the position was due to Xie Bao's efforts.

Although there is one reason for this, another consideration is that Sun Xin is quickly pulling the situation of the entire Supervisory Committee, and has a deeper control over the Supervisory Committee.

The scene of harmony and harmony with the landlords is slowly changing. Sun Xin is supportive of industrialists and small landlords, but for those big landlords lying on the land, he must clearly express his obedience to the supervisory committee. The new is slowly clearing them out of the power system.

The Board of Supervisors will never be allowed to be dominated by landlords.

Xie Zhen is his apprentice, and naturally a member of the Mutual Protection Party, and this time, [-]% of the supervisors elected by the by-election of the Sunjiazhuang General Assembly of the Supervisory Committee have joined the Protection Party.

Regarding Sun Xin and Pei Xuan's recent series of vigorous and resolute methods, there will inevitably be other voices in the supervisory committee, and as many people's status has been gradually suppressed, their resistance to Sun Xin has gradually gained momentum.

The personnel appointments at the Supervisory Committee had just been arranged, and Sun Xin suddenly received a letter from his brother Sun Li, saying that Zong Ze had invited him to Dengzhou.

Since the Supervisory Committee began to vigorously expand to the four counties under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou, Zong Ze no longer directly sent letters to Sun Xin, and it was obvious that he and Sun Xin had chosen a clear identity.

Wu Song asked Sun Xin: "Will it be dangerous to go this way?"

Sun Xin smiled and shook his head: "I'm not afraid that Liangshan is in trouble now. The imperial court is preparing to merge and encircle. How can I care about us? He wants to call Liangshan and move me. I'm not afraid that Shandong is no longer surnamed Zhao." ?"

It can be seen at a glance whether there are more people from the imperial court or more people from the supervisory committee around Dengzhou, even if they want to do it, they will not be here.

Wu Song nodded, and Sun Xin called a few escorts, got on his horse and went straight to Dengzhou City.

The agreed place was at Sun Li's home, and from this location, he knew that Zong Ze would not do anything to him.

When they entered the room, both Zong Ze and Sun Li had already sat down and were making tea. Zong Ze looked at Sun Xin meaningfully.

"Recently, the incidents in your supervisory committee have been really troublesome. We have heard voices in Dengzhou Mansion."

It turned out that it was because of this matter. Sun Xin didn't know Zong Ze's attitude, so he smiled and sat down beside his brother without saying a word.

"I heard that you have cleared out many landlords who joined your supervisory committee. Those who seized power seized power, and those who lowered their shares."

It turned out that he was speaking for the big landlord. Sun Xin knew in his heart that his attitude on this matter must be clear, so he replied: "Most of these people have some problems that have been found out in the supervisory committee, so they will be punished." Regarding the handling of dismissal and withdrawal of shares, their problems are clear, and they were notified when the investigation was carried out. There should be no grievances to complain about."

Zong Ze shook his head when he heard the words: "If your Supervisory Committee wants to grow bigger, it must tolerate people with different attitudes, so you can't dismiss all people who have different ideas from you, right?
"It doesn't matter if you have different ideas, but you must not use the power of the Supervisory Committee to dominate. Otherwise, how should our Supervisory Committee deal with itself and explain to its members?"

Zong Ze sighed in his heart when he heard the words, he had been using Sun Xin not to investigate the matter too clearly as an excuse to persuade him, but Sun Xin made it clear that these people made mistakes and used reason to Press him.

As for whether these big landlords made mistakes or not, Zong Ze knew without asking, he himself didn't have a good impression of big landlords, but in his heart he couldn't understand Sun Xin's behavior at this time.

Seeing that the two were fighting each other and were about to quarrel, Sun Li hurried out to smooth things over and said, "Brother, don't be rude, and drink tea first."

He looked at Zongze again and said with a smile: "Master Zong asked my younger brother to come here today because of this matter. It stands to reason that I don't know anything about his supervisory meeting, but since he is a long time Things should always be handled by him, presumably his approach is reasonable."

Although Sun Li didn't want Sun Xing and Zong Ze to have conflicts, he always stood by Sun Xin's side when they had conflicts.

Seeing that the two brothers were unwilling to listen to him, Zong Ze sighed, and sighed in his heart: After all, it is because the way is different and they are not conspiring with each other.

"I still have some things to do, so I will sit down soon."

He got up and left directly.

Seeing Zong Ze leave in a flick of his sleeves, Sun Li hastily yelled twice to persuade him to stay, but Zong Ze didn't turn his head back, but Sun Xin shook his head when he saw that his brother was about to chase him out.

"Don't chase him, he has a different philosophy from ours, even if you chase him, you won't be able to chase him back."

Sun Li frowned and looked at his younger brother: "I saw that he treated us very well. Didn't you discuss the matter of Haizhou together before? Why can't you talk with Yan Yueyue? He is also a lobbyist for others. , just don’t agree with his reasoning, it’s nothing more than evasion, and it won’t be like this.”

Sun Xin smiled wryly and said, "It's impossible to talk to a person like Zong Ze. Either he accepts my ideas, or I accept his ideas. If I talk more, I'm afraid he will annoy us even more."

"Brother doesn't have to be afraid of what he will do to us. If you want to do it early, if you are still so accommodating at this time, it means that he has nothing to do with us."

Hearing this, Sun Li could only sigh.

Zong Ze returned to the mansion in the carriage with a silent face, just after entering the door, he heard a report from his subordinate steward that Xiaoyuan Zhao had been waiting for him in the mansion for a long time.

"Call him in."

Zong Ze walked into the mansion very quickly, Zhao Wang walked in from outside with a smile on his face, Zong Ze glanced at him and couldn't arouse much interest in his heart.

This Zhao Wang is the younger brother of Zhao De, the largest shareholder of Sun Xin's Dengzhou Spinning Mill. In the third and fourth generations, there must be people who are established but also people who have studied the imperial examinations to make the family prosperous for a long time. This Zhao Wang is the seed of reading specially cultivated by the generation of the Zhao family. I was not very diligent along the way, but at the age of 40 or [-], I finally got the fame of Juren.

Juren was considered very valuable in the Song Dynasty. If this guy wanted to be an official, he might be sent to a different place to become a county magistrate if he worked hard, and he might even be promoted all the way to the county magistrate.

But Zhao Wang's recruiting skills are not good, and his own level is not very good. The writing style in Dengzhou is not prosperous here, so he can be regarded as a tall man out of a short man.

The Zhao family's reputation is still very good in Dengzhou, but no one recognizes them outside Dengzhou. After all, they can only be local tyrants. This Zhao Wang also gave up the idea of ​​continuing his official career. They hang out and make connections for the family.

Zong Ze was a serious Jinshi, and after talking with him a few times, he knew that this man didn't have much ink in his chest, but was just a speculator.

Seeing Zhao Wang come in, Zong Ze took the initiative and said: "I have already told Sun Xin about the matter you entrusted to me, and he seems to be absolutely unwilling to let go."

Hearing Zong Ze's words, Zhao Wang was not surprised. Since his brother Zhao De and Sun Xin set up the factory together, the assets of the Zhao family have grown rapidly, but Zhao Wang was very unhappy.

In the past, as a landlord, my elder brother always wanted to make good friends with officials. My elder brother was just a land rich man who didn't know how to act, and Zhao Wang was required to speak out from him, and Zhao Wang's status in the family came from this.

But now my elder brother and Sun Xin set up a factory together, and the income from the factory has become the biggest source of income for the family. Sun Xin doesn't respect his reputation as a great person. Zhao Wang has been to his Sunjiazhuang several times, but he has not received warm hospitality from the supervisory committee.

Ever since he failed to be selected as a supervisor of the Supervisory Committee last time, Zhao Wang has been very dissatisfied with Sun Xin in his heart. At this time, he was quite disdainful when he heard that what his brother Zhao De asked him to ask Zong Ze to say had not been completed at all. pouted and said:
"This Sun Xin has no ink in his chest, and he doesn't understand the principles of sages, so he will naturally do such a mindless thing."

Zong Ze glanced at him, but Zhao Wang didn't notice that Lord Zong was in a bad mood today, and continued:

"Since ancient times, it has been said that gentlemen are not friends and gentlemen are not party members. As the leader of the Sunjiazhuang Supervisory Committee, Sun Xin took the initiative to form a party for personal gain and eliminate dissidents. He also said that the Supervisory Council is an organization that protects food and property. The people who work in the center have no status in it, and after doing so many things, they still have to lower their shares, how can Sun Xinru be a leader like this?"

"His behavior is entirely due to his ignorance of the teachings of sages and his lack of education!"

Zong Ze looked at Zhao Wang's impassioned speech, but he was very contemptuous in his heart. He really wanted to tell Zhao Wang that since he was studying, he should understand the principles of fathers and sons. Putting it in the belly, the reason they are so stiff now is actually because Sun Xin took away their privileges in the supervisory committee.

However, the supervisory committee controlled by landlords like them has no way for the common people to speak, and taking away their power will actually make their peasants happier.

But Zong Ze sighed in his heart, the source of the entanglement in his heart was precisely this.

He knew that what Sun Xin did was actually beneficial to the common people, but just like Zhao Wang, he couldn't accept it.

Although Zong Ze didn't want to admit it, he also understood the reason, that is, Sun Xin's way of doing things fundamentally conflicted with him, without him, because he was also born into a family of big landlords, and his clan also had a lot of land in his hometown. He is willing to be a good official to plead for the people, but Sun Xin's method of building cronies always feels very dangerous in his heart. If he unites the small people to tease them and big families, isn't it against Tiangang?

So when Zong Ze heard that Sun Xin founded the mutual protection party, he subconsciously felt very conflicted. Recently, Zhao Wang came to ask him to help him talk to Sun Xin, and Zong Ze agreed because of this.
