As soon as Su Mingli said this, the ministers in the court all nodded in agreement.

The fact that Su Mingli could come up with such a plan in such a short time shows that he definitely has something special.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Guangqi nodded in approval: "Your strategy is excellent. By preventing local forces from colluding with local officials, the rebellion can be resolved in a timely manner."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Lin was slightly startled at first, his eyes changing instantly, before he smiled slightly again.

"Young Master Su's idea is indeed good and hits the nail on the head, but unfortunately, it cannot solve the fundamental problem in a hasty manner."

"Your Majesty's current concern is the armed rebellions in various regions. If officials are mobilized at this time, it will not only anger the local forces, but the newly arrived officials are unfamiliar with the place and will be difficult and unmanageable to manage."

"The most urgent task now is to solve the current difficulties. What are the reasons for the people's armed rebellion? And how can we fundamentally resolve the people's rebellion? Only by working from the bottom up can we achieve stability."

Su Mingli remained silent, but Vice Minister Xin suddenly looked up and stared intently at Prime Minister Lin's back.

Upon hearing this, and observing Su Mingli's reaction, Emperor Guangqi also asked:

"Do any of you other ministers have any suggestions on how to prevent banditry and armed rebellions? And the results must be immediate."

The court fell silent in an instant.

In fact, this matter has been a historical problem. Rebellions broke out in various places one after another, requiring the emperor to send troops to suppress them. However, if one place is quelled today, another will rise up tomorrow. It is really hard to think of a better solution.

No one answered; only whispers and murmurs rippled through the crowd.

At that moment, a person suddenly stepped forward from the very back of the line.

He Yunze stepped forward and gave the emperor a full salute: "Your humble servant has a plan in mind, but I do not know whether I should speak of it."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Speak."

"In my opinion, this matter is a legacy of history and has nothing to do with Your Majesty. However, if this matter is not resolved, it will become a major threat."

"Therefore, we need to address both the symptoms and the root causes, and we also need to adapt to local conditions. First, we need to address the reasons why the people obeyed the illegal forces and rebelled. We need to build water conservancy projects in the southeast region, irrigate farmland rationally, and ensure people's livelihood. In the central plains, we need to manage ancestral halls, reduce temples, clear out places where bandits hide, and weaken the power of clans."

"If people's livelihoods are guaranteed, even if someone wants to cause trouble, the people can live and work in peace and contentment. So where will the armed forces come from?"

Upon hearing this, the scene fell silent, everyone stared wide-eyed, and gasped inwardly.

He Yunze continued, "In addition, the most crucial thing is to redivide the administrative regions, making them interlocking. This method can prevent local areas from forming separatist forces by relying on natural geographical barriers."

"At the same time, the intermingling of different regions and terrains increases the complexity of military defense, and local armies can respond to each other and quickly suppress the enemy."

"Different folk customs and traditions can prevent the formation of united separatist forces, while also facilitating economic interaction between different regions..."

The man's voice was deep and resonant, and his explanation was simple and clear, word by word.

His final words caused an uproar among the officials present.

This method is truly ingenious! It solved the problem from an angle they had never considered before, resolving an age-old dilemma that His Majesty had long worried about!

This person was just an unknown nobody, young in age, yet he was able to come up with such a thoughtful solution in the instant after Prime Minister Lin asked the question.

A genius beyond compare! This is truly a genius beyond compare!

Emperor Guangqi listened quietly to these words, and his expression changed noticeably.

His eyes lit up, and he squinted at the person in the farthest distance, beckoning him: "What is your name? What official position do you hold? Come forward and let me see you."

"You're standing too far away; I can't see you."

Upon hearing this, He Yunze suppressed his wildly beating heart, held his breath, and stepped out from the back of the crowd.

This idea was something he came up with himself in his previous life, combining stories from various places; it wasn't given to him by anyone else.

In his previous life, after he proposed this idea, he won the emperor's praise and it eventually achieved very good results in various places.

Now that he has proposed this idea in an instant, it is likely to amaze everyone. With Prime Minister Lin's support and assistance by his side, it is absolutely impossible for him to make a mistake.

The officials' praise just now says it all!

With his precious gems by his side, he completely trampled Su Mingli underfoot, making him look like nothing at all!

He Yunze thought with great excitement, becoming even more determined.

He slightly raised his chin, walked past Su Mingli, brushed past him, and continued walking forward.

Upon seeing He Yunce's retreating figure, Su Mingli frowned slightly, his face full of surprise.

Minister Xin's face darkened completely.

"Your humble servant He Yunce is currently serving as a ninth-rank registrar in the Secretariat."

He Yunze walked up to the emperor and spoke slowly and deliberately, then gave the emperor a proper salute, every move exuding the elegance of a scholar.

When Emperor Guangqi saw He Yunce's appearance, he was first taken aback, then frowned: "You are the second young master of the Marquis of Anding's mansion. I summoned you in the Imperial Study a few days ago, and I remember you."

He hadn't finished speaking, but everything was understood without being said; the emperor clearly remembered what had happened before.

He Yunze was surprised by the emperor's reaction, and his expression stiffened slightly.

Prime Minister Lin understood the emperor's meaning, but merely smiled, feigning ignorance.

"Registrar He's idea is brilliant. It not only solves the age-old problem that has worried His Majesty, but also brings blessings to the people and allows all the people under heaven to feel the Emperor's boundless grace."

The other officials, unaware of the emperor's meaning, nodded in agreement: "That's right, this idea is indeed good."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Guangqi leaned back slightly. He glanced at He Yunce's kneeling figure but did not tell him to get up.

After a long silence, he asked meaningfully, "This idea is good, I think so too."

"But I want to know, did you really come up with this idea all by yourself?"

Emperor Guangqi's words caused all the officials present to change their expressions.

He Yunze stiffened, but everyone still heard the emperor's voice, which spoke slowly and deliberately:

"But I remember that just a few days ago you were still a commoner, and the Two-Tax System, which was once famous, was actually the idea of ​​Minister Su. So how did you come up with this complicated idea today?"

The imperial court fell silent in an instant.

He Yunze's tongue was trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, the matter before was a complete misunderstanding. This method was indeed conceived by me alone."
