Are you surprised or not?

Is it unexpected?

Are you afraid?

Are you panicked?

The fat man has been holding in the palace for so many days, and finally he has put in a big move, and this big move has finally not disappointed.

No one had ever thought that the emperor would announce the edict in the form of newspapers without going through the rituals and the cabinet.

This is simply out of order.

Therefore, this is also the reason why everyone was confused before. They all predicted that Wanli would definitely have big moves, and there would inevitably be movements. However, Wanli had no movements at all, which has always made everyone very puzzled and uneasy.

Now everyone suddenly realized that the reason why there was no movement was because Wanli had already been preparing to publish the edict in the Life Daily. Of course, this did not require anyone to go through, just discuss it with Guo Dan.

Of course, Wanli actually had an explanation to Tian Yi, the governor of the East Factory, but Tian Yi knew very well how his ex stepped down. This incident was also a test for him. He did it very confidentially. The list was also very ordinary, so it did not attract everyone's attention.

Everyone who understood it seemed to have been beaten up again.

I can't come back for a long time!

Having said that, it doesn’t matter if you are so willful occasionally. You can even brag about Guo Dan in newspapers and magazines, and they can accept it.

But Wanli's move can be said to be earth-shaking.

This decree is straightforward and directly shows that it will comprehensively promote the reforms shelved last time.

That is, the dime is placed into the acres.

This is also expected by everyone.

But what I have to say next is really scary!

First, he set up a Senate in the DPRK and took full control of the reform.

The establishment of a reform committee was also commonly used by emperors, but the key was that the first group of political leaders selected to the Senate Yuan were all unknown young Jinshis, except Cao Ke. One of them was not even a Jinshi, and there were not many officials in the court. Among them, the largest official position was Cao Ke, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and all the officials under Cao Ke were seventh and eighth ranks.

In this way, the entire cabinet was completely shut down.

There is no cabinet minister or a minister in reform.

No emperor has ever played like this since ancient times.

However, this is just an appetizer, and the topic is still to come.

Wanli used a short passage to explain the gap between the rich and the poor among officials and scholars, and in order to reduce the obstacles to dividing the acres of vacancies, he stated that he would reclaim all tax-free privileges and pay the silver, but it was not issued by the government, but to collect the certificates at Yinuoya Store.

This will introduce the prefectures and counties along the canal, and all taxes will be deposited into Yinuo Money House first, and then the government's expenditure must also be applied to Yinuo Money House, so the power of the Ministry of Revenue will be greatly reduced.

Finally, there is a short section, which is to comprehensively increase the salary of officials below the fourth rank.

Dramatic?

This cannot describe the shock brought by this imperial edict.

This is about to turn the world upside down.

Break all rules and break all ancestral systems.

Didn’t Taizu stipulate that officials cannot be paid? It’s bullshit, I just need to increase my fat man.

What can you do?

The key is to reclaim the tax exemption privileges, which completely broke the feudal foundation for thousands of years.

This gives people the feeling of the sky falling and the earth breaking!

What is Taizu, what is the heaven, what is ethics? I am the most awesome person!

This is definitely not willful.

......

The palace.

"Dad, the child is unaware of this. I don't know why Your Majesty will... Is it..."

Wang Heng looked at his father Wang Xijue with a look of surprise, and somehow he said it was good!

He is even more confused than Cao Ke.

Cao Ke was also a member of the Ministry of Revenue, and he was directly involved in the reform of the last time. It was reasonable to let him enter the Senate Yuan. Wang Heng had not participated in the palace examination yet because he ranked first in the provincial examination in Shuntian Prefecture last time, but he was impeached by the censor, saying that the reason why he was first was mainly because of Wang Xijue.

It made Wang Xijue very angry at that time, but in the end he still said that as long as he became an official in the court, Wang Heng would not participate in any imperial examinations again.

After that, Wang Heng has been studying at home and lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes at a young age.

Then he became the vice president of the Senate for no reason.

Wang Xijue was not as excited as Shen Shixing because he was still mentally prepared. He had thought that this storm would be much more terrifying than they thought, but he was still scared and sweating a little. He just nodded and said, "I believe in you for my father. Now Your Majesty has appointed you as the Vice President of the Senate. What do you think?"

"baby...!"

Wang Heng looked at Wang Xijue blankly, and he still couldn't come back to his senses.

This is really inexplicable.

He was not even mentally prepared, and he didn't know what was going on.

Wang Xijue said: "Dad doesn't care about this, you should think about it yourself."

......

"Dad!"

Not long after getting up, Aunt Xu came to the front yard and saw her father slumping on a chair, holding a newspaper in one hand, muttering to himself, calling him without any response. When she approached, she faintly heard her father muttering, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"

"The sky collapses?"

Aunt Xu was slightly shocked and shouted again: "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Xu Mengfeng raised his eyelids slightly, looked at his daughter, raised his hand slightly, and handed the newspaper to Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu took the newspaper with some guilt. When she saw this newspaper, she subconsciously thought that it was probably related to Guo Dan, but when she saw the title, she couldn't help but look shocked.

"This is not the punishment your Majesty has given us, but the complete elimination of us. It is much more terrifying than Zhang Juzheng at the beginning!" Xu Mengqiu sighed with a closed eyes.

......

Wuqing Hou Mansion.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Li Gao suddenly tore the newspaper to pieces in anger and roared, "How could this happen?"

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly shook, and the old servant beside him quickly helped him, "Master, are you okay?"

"fine?"

Li Gao pushed him away and said, "How could I be fine? Your Majesty is going to ruin my Ming Dynasty!"

He thought for a long time, but he didn't expect that Wanli would do this and do so extremely. This move should be undoubtedly a fatal blow to them. If they lose their privileges, they can almost be said to have lost everything.

......

Imperial City.

Early in the morning, a vast number of officials gathered in the imperial city. Some people even forgot to wear official uniforms and ran here directly.

"how so?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Is this really the decree of His Majesty?"

"This is simply a mess, how can you do this?"

"My century-long foundation in Ming Dynasty will be destroyed!"

......

Unlike all the moments before, this time there was a sense of panic inside and outside the imperial city.

The nature of the incident before was a court struggle. Everyone was fighting for interests. The difference was slightly different, that is, Guo Dan, an alternative, which involved class struggle. However, as Guo Dan became the financial advisor of the Ming Dynasty, class struggle actually no longer existed.

But this time, it was like Wanli officially declared war on them.

Because this move will definitely offend all vested interests in traditional concepts.

It can be seen that Wanli has already set up a formation to deal with them.

Don’t talk about those who have nothing. If you don’t like me, I’m not happy with you, so there’s nothing to talk about.

It is true that success is the king and defeated the enemy.

No one wants to see that Wanli’s revenge is so terrifying.

"Shen Sung is here!"

Suddenly I heard someone say it.

When everyone looked back, they saw Shen Shixing and Xu Guo coming over, and they immediately surrounded him.
