Now you're opposing it again?
Hear this.
Wei Yunyi was a little confused.
I have absolutely no idea what this Grand Tutor is thinking about all day long.
Originally, he viewed the other party as a beacon of suffering on the road to a tyrant, and his goal was to ruin his fortune.
But after the last time, Wei Yunyi felt something was amiss. Why did this person, who clearly opposed the land tax system, do nothing but recommend Wang Shouyuan?
Otherwise, with this Taifu taking action, no matter how powerful my father-in-law is, he will not be able to succeed in the pilot reform?
In particular, he realized one thing, that is, every time he made a decision.
For some reason, the other party is against...
I’m afraid you’re not playing me?
But in the original book, the other party is clearly a very upright person.
Wei Yunyi was a little confused, so he looked at Zhao Lingying and said, "My dear, what do you think?"
"Ah? I..." Zhao Lingying was shocked and a little flustered when she heard that.
She has been reviewing memorials during this period of time.
If they are just some minor issues, I will write down my opinions on them. After all, doing so will not affect anything.
But now, Your Majesty is asking about the transfer of court officials, which concerns the previous dynasty. If you speak at this time, it would be a complete case of the harem interfering in politics.
Even though Zhao Lingying is the daughter of a military commander, she certainly has courage and insight, but now...
"I told you to speak, so you speak!"
Wei Yunyi naturally knew what the other party was thinking, and immediately said in a deep voice.
There was no way. He was very confused now, and his plan to ruin his luck had not been going smoothly.
I feel that at times like this, it is necessary to listen to other people's opinions.
Zhao Lingying hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but then spoke up, "I believe that although Wang Shouyuan is quite capable, he is indeed from the aristocratic faction. The position of Liangjiang Inspector, while not a high-ranking position, is nonetheless extremely important. It is for this reason that the position remains vacant for many years and cannot be appointed personally."
"Furthermore, Song Gongwen has been promoting the equalization of land tax rates for Your Majesty. Now that the pilot program has been successful, it will definitely be rolled out nationwide."
"Jiangnan is even more important. Because of the incident in Longyang Prefecture, we can conclude that these two people are as hostile as water and fire."
"If Wang Shouyuan were to be made the Inspector of Liangjiang, I'm afraid he would secretly obstruct the reform."
At this point, she continued, "Another point is that the power of the aristocratic families is now too strong, and they have inextricable ties with many ministers in the court. Especially at times like this, we must be more careful."
"Therefore, my opinion is that the memorials recommending Wang Shouyuan should be ignored completely."
What Zhao Lingying meant can be said to be very simple.
Now the reform has achieved initial success.
But this is just the beginning. The next step is to implement it nationwide.
As a result, the obstacles and troubles encountered are completely incomparable to those in Longyang Prefecture.
If Wang Shouyuan were appointed as the Inspector General of Liangjiang at this time, it would definitely create obstacles, making the implementation of the reform more difficult.
Especially the Jiangnan gentry, there are many factions, and what they lack is a leader. If Wang Shouyuan takes this opportunity to gather all those people together, big problems will arise.
So at this time, Zhao Lingying expressed her opinions and pointed out all the possible problems.
But when Wei Yunyi heard these words, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Yes, Wang Shouyuan is a staunch member of the aristocratic faction.
And I decide for myself.
In order to arouse the resistance of the gentry.
The tax will be distributed according to the land area and will continue to be implemented by my father-in-law.
Although he felt that with the other party's ability, they would definitely not be able to deal with all the nobles in the world.
It’s better to be safe than sorry!
But what if the father-in-law's mortal enemy is pushed to the important position of Liangjiang Inspector, and the two continue to compete?
The more Wei Yunyi thought about it, the more he became tempted. He also believed that Wang Shouyuan hadn't stopped Song Gongwen because, firstly, the Longyang gentry were incompetent and had been frightened by the list Li Fang had provided, and secondly, because Wang Shouyuan himself held too low of an official position.
Just imagine, how could a mere prefect fight against the emperor's father-in-law and the cabinet minister?
The two are totally not on the same level!
The Inspector of Liangjiang seems to be only one level higher.
However, the power in his hands was greatly enhanced, and he was able to unite the gentry throughout Jiangnan.
Under such conditions, getting things done will definitely be much easier.
And Wei Yunyi was certain of one thing.
That is, Wang Shouyuan must be holding a grudge against his father-in-law.
How do you know this? Isn't it clear from the hundreds of memorials submitted recently?
As for the Grand Tutor, why did he advise me not to promote Wang Shouyuan at this time?
This is easier to understand.
Just as Concubine Ying said.
The Jiangnan gentry seemed powerful, but there were also factions within them, such as Longyang Prefecture, which was one of them.
For this reason, although the court was troubled by this, it was not yet time to deal with it.
But if, if someone took advantage of this opportunity, he would unite all the nobles.
That means something completely different.
Even if it does not threaten the foundation of the country, it will definitely affect the situation in the court.
This is definitely not what Zhang Zhengming wants to see, but if Wang Shouyuan is just a prefect, there is no need to worry at all.
As expected, the Grand Tutor is really worried about this country!
But that's the reality.
This is exactly the effect Wei Yunyi wants.
