Wang Shouyuan belonged to the aristocratic faction.
The abilities are also very good.
The policy of dividing the land tax into land tax promoted by my father-in-law was aimed at the gentry.
The two sides can be considered natural enemies, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are incompatible.
And wasn't I just worrying about how to trip up my father-in-law and make him return empty-handed?
What if these two people were to face off in Longyang Prefecture?
Even though Song Gongwen was the second assistant of the cabinet.
He also has the title of father-in-law of the emperor.
It is entirely possible that he holds a high position, but he lacks the ability.
If Wang Shouyuan was just a county magistrate, it might be very difficult to deal with him because his official position was too low.
But as long as he is promoted to the position of prefect and holds great power in a prefecture, things will be completely different. His status and power will change greatly. With the support of the gentry, he will definitely be able to compete with his father-in-law.
After all, the place where the land-based tax system was implemented was Longyang Prefecture, so the prefect naturally had the final say.
In this way, Wang Shouyuan's interests as a member of the gentry were violated.
It will definitely create all kinds of trouble for the other party.
As the saying goes, even a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
It will definitely prevent the implementation of the land-based tax system.
At this time, I gave my father-in-law some verbal support and told him to go for it boldly.
In this way, the entire Longyang Prefecture will surely be in chaos, and then spread to the Jiangnan area.
If all the gentry in Jiangnan were to make trouble, would there be any need to worry about ruining their fortunes?
That’s my thoughts.
Wei Yunyi's eyes lit up.
I think this is a really great idea.
I am indeed smart.
Wang Shouyuan must be promoted!
Yes, that's it.
As for why Zhang Zhengming recommended Wang Shouyuan to him at this time.
Doesn't the other party know that this person will affect the implementation of the land tax system? Of course they know.
Does he want to stand on the side of the nobles?
Impossible.
Because in the original work, Zhang Zhengming also dealt with the gentry. Although he failed, he also proved his position.
The reason for this is that this Grand Tutor was originally opposed to the land-based tax system. And more importantly, many of the current policies and laws of the Wei Dynasty were reformed under his leadership.
Now, someone wants to overturn the hard work he has done over the years, and he must be extremely unwilling to do so.
Even if the other party is a famous and loyal minister, there will definitely be some selfish motives involved.
Wang Shouyuan was once a student of Zhang Zhengming.
In other words.
The one targeting my father-in-law is the Grand Tutor behind the scenes.
In this case.
It is absolutely impossible to implement the system of equalizing land tax, so how can the fortune be increased?
At this moment, Wei Yunyi was very satisfied with the other party's suggestion, which solved his urgent problem. He immediately said with a smile: "Then let's do as the Grand Tutor said and promote Wang Shouyuan."
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Zhengming bowed immediately and continued, "However, regarding this promotion notice, I respectfully request that Your Majesty draft it as soon as possible so that it can be delivered to Longyang Prefecture."
Are you in such a hurry?
Too.
My father-in-law has already left.
Of course we have to speed up.
Wei Yunyi nodded, turned to the table and wrote an imperial edict.
If it is an ordinary official position, it only needs the approval of the cabinet and does not need to go through the emperor.
But the prefect is the head of a prefecture and is of the fourth rank.
The emperor's consent is required.
Of course, the imperial edict he wrote was blank.
The specific statement only needs to be drafted by the cabinet and then written down.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now." Zhang Zhengming bowed slightly after receiving the imperial edict.
Wei Yunyi stopped and signaled the other party to leave.
At this moment, he can be said to be very happy.
Even if my father-in-law came up with the process of dividing the land tax into land tax, so what?
I only give verbal support. Next, the other party will have to face the triple attack from Zhang Zhengming, Wang Shouyuan, and the Longyang gentry. With your father-in-law's ability, can you withstand it?
I calculated that there is still half a month before the next system settlement.
It is impossible to increase your luck, and I'm afraid it will be even worse.
very good.
No matter how you say it.
This time, the advantage is mine!
The more Wei Yunyi thought about it, the happier he became.
Now that I have nothing to do, I'll go see Concubine Ying.
Immediately, he ordered people to prepare the dragon chariot and ride straight to the harem without stopping.
Jingde Palace is the palace where Zhao Lingying lived.
It’s not far from the imperial study.
It is even closer than Kunshou Palace where the queen lives.
At this moment, in the bedroom of Jingde Palace, Zhao Lingying was sitting at the desk with a pen in her hand.
The entire desk was almost completely piled with memorials.
There is not much space left even to place the inkstone.
"My Lady."
At this time, the young palace maid Cuiguo came over with a bowl of ginseng soup and said, "You have been busy for several hours. Take a break."
"No." Zhao Lingying did not look up, but continued to stare at the memorial in front of her.
"These memorials must be delivered to the Imperial Study before 3 p.m. and then distributed to the Cabinet."
"If I rest, it will be too late."
After saying that, she took the pen.
He began to review the memorials, point out the key points and give suggestions.
Although she had been watching for several hours, Zhao Lingying was still in good spirits.
After all, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child and have some martial arts skills. It’s just one morning and one morning, which is nothing.
Because, in his heart, he was still thinking that such a national matter as memorial was entrusted by His Majesty.
Even if I am tired, I need to keep watching.
