Jiang Yueguang and Gao Hongtu have been frustrated by Qian Qianyi recently and have no time to pay attention to the reforms that will be carried out by the Henan Party.

Both of them thought that such a big thing would take some time to investigate, but they didn't expect that Li Yan had come up with a complete set of plans and voted without the two preparing.

Li Yan's reform plan mainly consists of two parts: the salt and iron and mines are taken back to the court. The court uses mountains, rivers, lakes and seas as shares, requiring nationalization reforms to the mines controlled by merchants, and at the same time establishing grain stations across the country to control grain and salt, and conducting a qualitative average transportation.

Li Yan and others followed Gao Huan and started their business in Henan, knowing the hardships of the people.

At this time, Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "This reform is to adjust the rich and poor, suppress the rich and enrich the national treasury. If the powerful are not suppressed, the country will be unstable, and if the rich and poor are not coordinated, the people will be resentful! The accusations of the court are to reduce the excess and make up for the shortcomings, so that everyone can be rich. Since the Councillor has voted to pass, let the list be implemented there!"

Jiang Yueguang and Gao Hongtu were shocked when they heard the words, but they would not refute them in person.

After the meeting, the two of them came out of the hall with a frown and came to the public housing for negotiations.

"Brother Juzhi! If Li Yan's reform is implemented, the gentry and merchants will inevitably be shocked. The king may lose the expectations of the people in Jiangnan!" Gao Hongtu was worried.

Jiang Yueguang said: "The people of Jiangnan should recommend you and me to the Council of the Council to speak out for the people. Now that the Council of the Council has passed Li Yan's strategy, how can you and I explain to the gentry and the people?"

Gao Hongtu said: "It's all Qian Qianyi's fault!"

Both of them were very worried. If they could not speak out for the gentry of Jiangnan, then the gentry of Jiangnan and merchants would definitely take Qian Qianyi's side.

In this way, the two of them will definitely not be able to sit steadily in the Council.

The two of them discussed for a while and decided to spread the news, fan the gentry and the people of Jiangnan, and wish Gao Huan, hoping that Gao Huan could take back his life.

...

The next morning, Gao Huan got up early and had breakfast with the princess.

At this time, Gao Huan finished drinking a bowl of chicken soup and wiped his mouth. Seeing that Luo Guiying seemed to have no appetite, he cared about it and said, "What's the matter today? Do you have no appetite?"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Guiying suddenly felt nauseous and began to retching.

The palace maid on the side quickly brought a basin and helped her to stroke her back.

Seeing this, Gao Huan quickly got up to check. Judging from his experience, his eyes lit up and he was overjoyed, "My beloved, aren't you so happy?"

Luo Guiying thought that her period had not been there for a month, and her face immediately showed a shy look.

Seeing this, Gao Huan was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up! Go and invite the medical officer here!"

Soon, the palace maid called the medical officer to take the princess's pulse, and after a moment he smiled, "Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess, it's a slippery pulse, the princess should be pregnant!"

"Hahaha~" Gao Huan couldn't help laughing heartily when he heard the words.

After working hard for half a year, we finally achieved results. If there is no more, if we don’t say that we are exhausted, we may have to find a medical officer to see if there is any problem. It is really a damaging dignity.

At this time, everyone in the palace laughed, but at this moment, a noise suddenly came from outside the palace.

Gao Huan couldn't help frowning when he heard the sound, "What's going on?"

Yang Yan hurriedly pressed the hilt of the knife and went out fiercely, wanting to see which bird it was and dared to make noise outside the palace.

Yang Yan came outside and saw a vast crowd in front of the palace gate. He was stunned and asked, "What's going on?"

The guard said, "They said they asked to see the king if they had something to do!"

Gao Huan and Luo Guiying were asking the medical officer what to pay attention to. Yang Yan hurried back and stood aside.

After listening to the doctor's instructions, Gao Huan asked the palace maid Ba Luo Guiying to help her in to rest, and then said calmly: "What's going on? The princess is pregnant, who is making noise outside?"

Although Gao Huan was not old, as the territory of Liang State expanded, whether there were any offspring was related to the stability of the Liang State regime and its cohesion.

This child must be born early, otherwise he will be in danger in the future.

Old Li next door is nearly forty years old and has no son yet. His hair is so white that he has been divided into several factions in the Dashun court for whom he can succeed to the throne.

Li Zicheng's brother Li Zijing, nephew Li Guo, and even adopted son Li Jiyu all wanted to seize the throne.

If Li Zicheng died, a civil strife in the country would be inevitable.

Zhang Xianzhong, southwest, gave birth to a son this year, but like Lao Li, he is nearly forty years old.

This newborn son has to face four powerful brothers. It would be fine if Zhang Xianzhong could live for twenty years. If he died in a few years, the Great Western Kingdom would probably not have the surname Zhang.

Therefore, it is definitely a good thing for Liang Guo and Gao Huan to be pregnant now.

Gao Huan was very fond of the child in the princess's belly, so he was very dissatisfied with the noise and crying outside.

"Report to the king! It is a group of gentry and merchants from Jiangnan. They said they were here to petition." Yang Yan hurriedly said.

When Gao Huan heard the words, he immediately knew what was going on. It was probably because the Councillor passed the reform plan, which attracted protests from these people.

At this time, Gao Huan didn't want to pay attention, but after thinking about it, he decided to come out and meet these merchants and gentry.

After all, business development still has many benefits to the country and the people.

Merchants pursue interests, which will force them to improve efficiency, promote technological progress, improve productivity, create more social wealth, and enrich the material life of the people.

Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

If a businessman just focuses on the people's money, does not enter new industries to promote technological development, but is keen on buying high and selling low, becoming a loser, and reaping daily necessities such as food, salt, etc., earning the people's money and cutting the people's leeks, then he is a profiteer.

Merchants take the principle of pursuing the maximization of their own interests. They enter many industries that concern people's livelihood. In order to pursue interests, they must try every means to squeeze the people. Gao Huan wants to run state-owned enterprises with salt, iron and grain, because the state-owned enterprises must pursue interests and have social responsibilities.

Of course, sometimes pursuing interests is contradictory to taking on social responsibilities. At this time, the state-owned enterprise will choose to assume more social responsibilities and give up pursuing interests. This is the reason for the state-owned enterprise to exist.

Most businessmen cannot do this.

Although state-owned enterprises may lead to inefficiency and corruption, this is not a state-owned enterprise, but a problem of how to combat corruption.

Gao Huan's policy strategy was that the vassal state-owned governments ensured that the people were less exploited in industries related to people's livelihood such as salt, iron, and grain, and forced merchants from these industries to handicrafts to create more new commodities and wealth.

At this time, Gao Huan came outside the palace gate, and a group of merchants immediately started crying.

"King, Li Yizheng's reform cannot be implemented!"

"The government interferes with salt and iron, and corruption will surely prevail!"

"King, the vassal state is competing for profit with the people, and the people will lose their livelihood!"

Gao Huan listened to everyone's words and waved coldly: "Since everyone has so many opinions and concerns, I will arrange a time to let you wait to argue with Mr. Li to see who makes sense! How?"

Many gentry and merchants were stunned when they heard the words, and then they were overjoyed. Who could argue with us?
