Yun Zheng did not show up until the end of the banquet.
He has already put pressure on those people.
Just leave the rest of the things to Tuohuan and Ji Ran.
"Your Highness, you really don't want to go and take a look?"
Shen Kuan stayed beside Yun Zheng and asked curiously.
"What's there to see?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "If I have people under my command, I must use them. If I do everything myself, I will tire myself to death sooner or later!"
"Too."
Shen Kuan smiled in sudden realization, “Madam Zi used to do everything by herself, so she fainted from exhaustion.”
Speaking of Ye Zi, Yun Zheng immediately asked: "By the way, how long will it take for the princess and the others to arrive in Sifang County?"
...
...
"It should be only two or three days, right?"
Chen Kuan replied, "We received news yesterday that they have passed Beilu Pass! Although the princess and her companions are walking slowly, they should be able to reach Sifang County in about three days."
Is that so?
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Then we will set off for Sifang County tomorrow!"
"ah?"
Chen Kuan was stunned. "Are you leaving now? Are you not going to care about what's happening here?"
Now is the critical time to implement the policy of allocating land tax to each household!
Trouble could break out at any time!
Your Highness really wants to be the hands-off boss until the end?
"With Tuohuan and the others here, I don't need to worry about this matter all the time."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Because of the issue of equalizing the land tax, Fuzhou will definitely have some troubles, but let Tuohuan and the others deal with it first, and I will just provide them with support from behind!"
Although Tuohuan doesn't really have to take the blame, there has to be someone to play the good guy and someone to play the bad guy, right?
It’s okay to be messy!
As long as it’s not such a mess that there’s no way to clear it up.
Seeing that Yun Zheng had already made a decision, Shen Kuan did not ask any more questions.
In the evening, Yun Zheng called Ji Ran and Tuo Huan to the study again.
He is going to Sifang County tomorrow. Before leaving, he must instruct Tuohuan and Ji Ran on some things.
"Did those people express their opinions?"
Yun Zheng asked the two to sit down and asked with a smile on his face.
"No."
Tuo Huan shook his head, "But when they left, they were all distracted."
Yun Zheng smiled and asked Ji Ran: "Do you think they will honestly implement the policy of equalizing the land tax?"
Ji Ran thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "It's not something they can implement just because they want to. Officials at all levels will encounter resistance. It all depends on the skills of officials at all levels."
Ji Ran said it very tactfully.
But Yun Zheng still understood what he meant.
The issue of distributing the tax based on the amount of land will inevitably cause an uproar.
"What Lord Ji said does make sense."
Tuohuan nodded in agreement and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to behead those corrupt officials first?"
"You want to make an example of someone?"
Yun Zheng instantly guessed Tuo Huan’s purpose.
"right!"
Tuo Huan nodded and said, "If we want to implement the tax-sharing policy smoothly, we must be tough! We must let those who are ready to make a move know that if they dare to make a move, their lives may be in danger at any time!"
Kill?
Yun Zheng thought silently.
It would be easy for him to kill those people.
As long as he wanted to kill someone, he didn't need to go through the Ministry of Justice.
To him, the Ministry of Justice is just a decoration.
However, he always felt that killing these bird people like this was too easy for them.
Garbage can be recycled, and these people also have their uses.
But right now, he really needs to kill a group of officials to serve as a warning to others.
After pondering for a while, Yun Zheng finally made up his mind: "Then kill them! But don't let them die too easily! How to kill them is up to you guys!"
"yes!"
Tuohuan and Ji Ran obeyed the order.
"I will be heading to Sifang County tomorrow, so I'll leave the matters here to you!"
Yun Zheng said, and then looked at Ji Ran, "You know the situation in Fuzhou best, you have to be a good deputy to Tuo Huan!"
Ji Ran nodded.
Yun Zheng had already told him about this matter.
Tuohuan was the one who actually governed Fuzhou, he was just his deputy.
As for whether he could be valued by Yun Zheng, it would probably depend on his performance this time.
Afterwards, Yun Zheng instructed the two people on some things before letting them go down to rest.
The next morning, Yun Zheng led his men to Sifang County.
At the same time, orders to implement the new tax system of dividing the land tax into 100 mu were issued to all counties and prefectures. Official notices were also posted on every street in Jingyang Prefecture, and there were people specially assigned to explain to illiterate people what the new tax system meant.
For those people who have no land or only a small amount of land, the new tax system is a blessing from heaven.
But for the class that owned more land, the new tax system was simply a death sentence.
As the news of the land tax was distributed according to the amount of land used, the whole city became turbulent.
However, under the deterrence of Yun Zheng's powerful military force, even if many people expressed strong dissatisfaction with the new tax system, they did not dare to act openly and could only find ways to fight against the new tax system in secret.
Yun Zheng knew that there would definitely be someone secretly obstructing the implementation of the new tax system, but he did not act rashly.
He planned to wait until those people exposed their methods and then solve them all at once.
Otherwise, if one problem is solved, another one will pop up, and he won't have enough energy to waste time on those people!
The day after Yun Zheng arrived at the palace in Sifang County, Chen Luoyan and others also arrived at the palace.
Upon learning that the princess and her companions had arrived, Yu Fu hurriedly took the servants from the palace out to greet them.
"Is everything okay along the way?"
Yun Zheng stepped forward and looked at his three women with a smile on his face.
Chen Luoyan held Yun Cang in her arms and smiled, "You sent so many people to escort us, what could possibly happen?"
As he spoke, Shen Luoyan secretly winked at Yun Zheng.
Um?
Yun Zheng was confused.
Is there something she is not comfortable saying in front of these servants?
"I'm glad you're okay."
Yun Zheng smiled calmly, took the child from Shen Luoyan, and asked Ye Zi with concern, "Did you feel uncomfortable on the way?"
"fine."
Ye Zi subconsciously touched her swollen belly, with a happy smile on her face, "It's just that this child is always naughty and always kicks my belly."
Miaoyin looked at Ye Zi with a smile and said jokingly, "If the baby doesn't move in your belly, then you should be worried."
"That's true."
Ye Zi smiled brightly.
"Okay, let's go in first!"
Yun Zheng invited everyone to come into the house. "We've been through a lot on the road, and tonight we can finally have a good night's sleep."
Upon hearing this, the girls smiled at each other.
Who says it’s not?
Even with the new carriage, the road moved slowly, and everyone was really tired after the journey.
Now it's finally here.
Under the leadership of Yun Zheng, everyone followed into the palace.
After ordering Yu Fu to prepare meals, Yun Zheng took the three women to familiarize themselves with his new palace.
"What's going on?"
It was not until this time that Yun Zheng asked Shen Luoyan, "What happened to you on the road?"
Chen Luoyan nodded gently, "When we were about 20 miles away from Sifang County, someone wanted to ambush us. Fortunately, we had many guards with us, so the other party didn't dare to attack..."
