Hearing this, Wei Yunyi was forced to swallow his words back and looked at the other party with a strange look in his eyes.
Who is Zhang Zhengming? He is a true famous official, and his ability is obvious to all.
Especially in the original work.
This person has hardly ever made a mistake in governing the country.
The other party has made great contributions to the current prosperity of Wei.
He regarded it as a beacon of light in the sea of suffering on the road of a foolish ruler.
So it was decided long ago that whatever this person opposed was correct.

"Moreover, tax reform involves so many interconnected issues that it will affect the entire system. It's not something that can be accomplished overnight."
"Perhaps this move will shake the foundation of the Great Wei, causing all sorts of problems that will be difficult to resolve."
"So I think that although it would be good to distribute the tax burden according to the amount of land, it is not the right time yet."
