The next two days.
Wei Yunyi did almost nothing.
Waiting for the day of reckoning to come.
So he almost always paid attention to the memorials submitted from Longyang Prefecture.
The good news is that perhaps because of the reform, there is opposition everywhere.
The situation is most intense in the Jiangnan area.
Even in the morning court.
Some ministers in the court stepped forward and advised against the reform, saying that if it continued, big problems would arise.
Obviously, those who can speak at this time must represent the interests of the gentry.
What they least want is for the land-based tax system to continue.
Wei Yunyi was very satisfied with this.
It seems that as the situation grew more and more serious, the gentry finally could not stand it anymore, which led to the instability of the government.
The instability of the government is no small matter and will inevitably ruin a lot of luck.
So he once again acted arbitrarily.
All the opposing voices were suppressed.
Suddenly, many court officials were dissatisfied, but did not dare to say anything.
Because the Prime Minister Zhang Zhengming, just like the last time when Prince Yan was enfeoffed, did not speak.
Without this powerful official speaking out, no one else dared to say anything too much.
Especially when Wei Yunyi spoke, he said that this action was for the sake of the people of the world and for the sake of the country, and he used this to question the court officials. In short, he was repeating the previous conversation with Zhang Zhengming.
Your Majesty has brought up the greater good, so even if some people have objections in their hearts, they don't know how to express them.
Because the officials who can stand in the Chengtian Hall are not fools, they are all very smart.
How could they not know that distributing the tax based on the amount of land they ploughed into the land would not only increase tax revenue?
It is even better for the people under his rule.
So Wei Yunyi said this.
The ministers were speechless and found it difficult to find an excuse.
At most, it is just a statement, which will cause resistance from the gentry throughout the world.
But these seem to be nothing compared to the country, the people, and the reputation of the world.
In the end, Wei Yunyi gained the upper hand, so much so that at the end of the morning court, no minister spoke.
Of course, it can be seen that some ministers are still very dissatisfied, especially the group of people representing the interests of the gentry. No one knows what they are thinking in their hearts.
Wei Yunyi became even happier about this. This was exactly the feeling he wanted.
It would be best if these people in the court could turn their dissatisfaction into action.
Then set up various obstacles for the father-in-law.
Let the land tax be distributed according to the amount of land used to cover each acre of land die in the womb.
in this way.
My goal has been achieved.
Soon, the morning court ended, and Wei Yunyi went straight to Concubine Ying's bedroom.
I want to know the latest news from Longyang Prefecture, because today is the system settlement day.
He wanted to see where things were at.
after all.
This is related to whether it can ruin your luck.
The latest memorials submitted were not much different from the previous ones. Most of them were about criticizing Song Gongwen, or continuing to oppose the equalization of land tax. There was nothing new at all.
As for the actual situation in Longyang Prefecture, it was impossible to tell from inside.
It seemed that everything was within Wei Yunyi's expectations.
My father-in-law has already incurred the wrath of heaven and people in Longyang Prefecture...
But I don’t know why.
But he had a bad feeling. Would something unexpected happen?
Wei Yunyi couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
In Jingde Palace, Zhao Lingying saw this and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you still worried about the Longyang Mansion?"
In her eyes, the reason why His Majesty acted like this must be because of the memorials of opposition he had read.
There are concerns that there may be problems with the land-based tax system.
Hearing this, Wei Yunyi also reacted and immediately smiled and said, "Well, a little bit."
Of course, what he was worried about was completely different from what the other party thought.
I'm really afraid that my father-in-law can do it.
After all, it went too smoothly.
Everything seemed to be going as he expected. Although most of the court officials blamed Song Gongwen, and even Zhang Zhengming said that it was impossible to continue...
"I think Your Majesty has nothing to worry about." At this time, Zhao Lingying smiled and took out a memorial. She said, "This was sent to me by the Ministry of Justice yesterday. It said that a group of mortals who had committed crimes were taken to prison."
"I took a look and found that they were all from Longyang. This means that Duke Song had imprisoned all the nobles who opposed him."
What?
Wei Yunyi was shocked when he heard this.
Although he knew that his father-in-law had built a prison before.
But at most, it was just people like Long Yang who were exaggerating.
After all, how can a conviction be achieved without evidence?
Because these cases have to go through multiple levels of scrutiny, fabricating them out of thin air will cause problems.
But now, the Ministry of Justice has submitted a memorial.
That means.
My father-in-law is here for real...
Although the gentry is powerful, if they are punished according to national laws, with the lessons learned from the past, will they dare to continue?
Or will they choose to compromise out of fear, thus making this pilot a success?
Wei Yunyi didn't dare to think about it because he felt that the possibility was a bit high.
But how did my father-in-law do it?
Zhao Lingying also continued at this time, "Your Majesty, I believe that with such an iron-blooded approach, even if someone wants to oppose it, they won't have the courage to do so. I believe that better news will come soon!"
These words were like a needle piercing Wei Yunyi's heart...
He wanted to speak, but in the end he could only nod and say, "Yeah...I think so too."
