Yinyu wrinkled his nose. "Do you think everyone is like you, just enjoying themselves? Second Brother and Yinling are busy, almost like dogs, but since they came, I've had a lot more free time."
The mother and son talked about some things, and then Yinyu went to write a letter to his fourth brother.
Moreover, the letter emphasized that his fourth brother should say whatever he wanted without any reservations.
After all, if he wants to reform the tax system, he will definitely have to put in a lot of effort.
If it's just treating the symptoms and not the root cause, then it's completely meaningless. Except for the first few years, things will definitely turn out exactly the same as before.
Then he also sent over the letters written by his mother, second brother, and eleventh brother.
………………………
Yinzhen received the letter half a month later.
Yinzhen first read the letter his mother had written to him, which mostly contained words of concern and greetings.
There were also some written by my second brother and eleventh brother. The ones we wrote in the future were pretty much the same, mostly about ourselves.
Finally, he took out that thick letter, which was written to him by his sixth brother.
After reading it, Yinzhen never expected that his sixth brother would ask him such a question.
Besides, isn't he the emperor? Even if you were to ask his fourth brother, it wouldn't warrant him interfering in such an important matter, would it?
Yinzhen also saw in the letter that he was told to speak freely without any reservations.
He began to seriously consider how he would reform the bureaucracy and taxation if he became emperor.
It took him several days to sort out his thoughts, after all, he had always been someone who wanted to seize the throne.
How could one not have their own ideas? What should one do after taking office? In fact, one already had ideas in mind long ago.
Afterwards, he wrote down his thoughts, which were quite good with Wanwan: to merge the poll tax into the land tax, and for gentry and villagers to pay taxes together.
After finishing the most important letter, he wrote separate letters of concern and greetings to Wanwan, Yinreng, and Yinling.
The round trip has taken more than a month.
After receiving the letter, Yinyu immediately took his second brother and eleventh brother to his mother's Cining Palace.
As for the letters to the other three, he hadn't had a chance to give them yet.
Cining Palace
The four brothers gathered together to discuss whether Yinzhen's method was feasible, and of course it was very feasible.
It would require a great deal of effort to thoroughly rectify official corruption, but fortunately, Yinyu was, after all, the founding emperor.
Doing these things is easier than being an emperor who inherits the throne, and you won't be as constrained by the ministers.
In the end, it was found that the idea given by Yinzhen was excellent. If it were implemented, the lives of the people would be more stable, and they would have something to look forward to.
When it was decided to implement this policy, Yinyu suddenly remembered that his mother had mentioned a better method.
“Mother, now that Fourth Brother has shared his thoughts, it’s time to talk about the better method you mentioned earlier.”
Yinreng and Yinling never expected that their starving mother would have such a good method.
Wanwan was also very straightforward and directly expressed her thoughts.
That is, all land will be nationalized, and farmers will only have the right to manage it but not the right to buy or sell it. Moreover, except for land requisitioned by the imperial court, it cannot be transferred, and any violation will be severely punished.
In years of famine, farmers could transfer their land to the imperial court, and after the difficult period passed, they could redeem the land at a slightly higher price.
When the brothers heard this idea, their eyes widened, after all, land had been privately owned for thousands of years.
My new book, "Fourth Prince's Beloved," has been released. Please give it your support, everyone! It's about the female lead's next life.
My darlings, thank you for reading!
Let's get started with love!
