"Your Majesty, His Majesty doesn't seem very happy to hear that the reform is about to succeed."
After Wei Yunyi left, Cui Guo walked forward and asked with some confusion.
She had been standing by and knew that although Song Gongwen had encountered great resistance, he was still pushing forward the policy of allocating land tax to each household. She understood that this was the surprise that the Empress had given to His Majesty.
But now, why can't I feel that His Majesty doesn't seem to care too much...
Zhao Lingying smiled when she heard this and immediately said, "What do you know!"
"Your Majesty did this because everything was as Your Majesty expected."
"Besides, Longyang Prefecture is just the beginning, a pilot project. The real difficulty lies in how to promote it nationwide. Your Majesty is a calm person and knows that now is not the time to be happy."
Having said that, she couldn't help but begin to admire the character of her Majesty.
He knew everything was going well, but he didn't show it.
But Zhao Lingying thought it was normal.
Isn’t this the case for all the wise and powerful great monarchs in history?
Of course, Zhao Lingying didn't dwell on this issue too much. Instead, she turned around and asked, "Yesterday I asked you to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. How was it? Did you find out anything?"
Ever since I learned that my brother had written a letter home, even my father has been treating it very seriously.
She was always worried, so she specially asked Cuiguo to go back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Hope this can be clarified.
"I did ask around, but the information I got was limited."
Cui Guo said, "Even the chief steward kept silent about this. We only know that the general's letter was about the defense of the northern border."
Is this really it?
Zhao Lingying frowned, knowing that things were not simple.
Now, she just hopes that nothing will happen.
...
at the same time.
Wei Yunyi sat in the dragon chariot on the way to the imperial study and was lost in thought.
I know that Zhang Zhengming came here for the matter of Longyang Prefecture.
In fact, because of this.
The other party comes almost every two days during this period.
He also submitted several memorials in succession to oppose the reform.
As for the explanation, it’s still the same old thing.
If you ask Zhang Zhengming whether to continue to implement the land tax distribution system, the answer you get will definitely be the same.
However, we are now facing another problem.
According to Song Gongwen, the reform is progressing smoothly and seems to be successful soon.
But there is another point, that is, the gentry in Longyang, represented by Wang Shouyuan, and even in the Jiangnan area, are trying their best to stop this.
In fact, under normal circumstances, although my father-in-law is a cabinet minister.
But their abilities are too poor, and they are definitely no match for those nobles.
otherwise.
It is not possible to work in the Dali Temple for more than ten years without any progress.
However, Wei Yunyi did not know much about the gentry.
What if they are scared by their father-in-law.
Finally chose to compromise.
What should we do if the land-based tax system is successfully implemented?
And this is what gives me a headache.
Afraid that the gentry would not live up to expectations.
But Zhang Zhengming was different. He had implemented various reform measures, and in the entire court, no one understood the gentry better than him.
Therefore, what I have to do now is to tell the other party that Song Gongwen's reform is progressing smoothly.
Because Wei Yunyi knew that although he was a powerful official, he was also a minister who truly served the country and the people.
As long as it is beneficial to the country, we will agree to it.
As for why they opposed the equalization of land tax before, it was because they were worried that the power of the gentry would become too strong and lead to an uncontrollable situation.
And with Zhang Zhengming's personality.
If we knew that the land tax system would be successful, we would definitely change our mind.
But if the other party still chooses to oppose...
That must have its own reasons.
And it must be correct.
The reason why Wei Yunyi was so sure was that in the original novel, Zhang Zhengming never made a mistake, and every decision he made could increase the fortune of the Wei Dynasty.
So now, we must rely on the bright light to guide us!
Soon, the imperial study arrived and the dragon chariot landed.
As soon as I walked in.
Zhang Zhengming quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, your humble servant is here to see you."
Wei Yunyi waved his hand, walked to the first seat and sat down. He took a sip of tea before saying with a smile, "The Grand Tutor came to the palace today to discuss the land tax and levy again, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Zhengming nodded, then said, "I still say the same thing. Your Majesty, please revoke the order to implement the reform!"
Sure enough, it was just as I expected.
Wei Yunyi smiled and said, "It's just that today I received a memorial from Song Gongwen, saying that everything is going smoothly and will be successful soon."
"Grandmaster, the land tax system is a great thing that benefits both the country and the people. Now that it's about to succeed, there's no need to oppose it anymore, right?"
After saying that, he didn't speak again, but waited quietly to see what the other party would say.
If you choose to support, I will issue an order immediately.
Let my father-in-law stop pushing for reforms.
But if you still object...
Then continue!
At this moment, Zhang Zhengming, who was standing below, was immediately delighted after hearing these words.
In fact, he has been worried about problems with the reform in the past few days.
After all, this matter has caused too much trouble recently.
But now.
After hearing that Song Gongwen had submitted a memorial saying that everything went well, he was naturally very happy, realizing that all the previous arrangements had not been in vain.
However, Zhang Zhengming is a man of great wisdom and foresight, and he never shows his emotions, so he never shows any of these.
At the same time, he also knew that the reform was about to succeed.
