This is a critical period for reform, so we can’t make any mistakes.”

Zheng Yidao: "Do you want to sue the emperor?"

Li Qi shook his head and said: "So far, those big food merchants are still abiding by the law. Before there is any solid evidence, I think it is best not to tell the emperor."

Qin Hui nodded and said: "That's right. Now the emperor still has many things to be busy with. From the current point of view, these things are just trivial matters, and they are not brought to the court. This would seem to be a bit of a fuss. Later

After leaving the court, just leave it to the economic envoy to investigate."

Li Qi and Zheng Yi nodded in agreement.

After a while, the door of the main hall slowly opened, and the ministers entered the main hall one by one. During this period, Li Qi had been communicating with Qin Hui and Zheng Yi, and had not had any communication with Bai Qiannuo, which left Bai Qiannuo hanging.

My heart finally dropped.

As soon as the ministers stood in the hall, Zhao Kai walked in wearing a dragon robe.

After the salute is completed.

Zhao Kai sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the ministers. His eyes only stayed on Bai Qiannuo for a while, and then he said: "To be honest with you, since I came to the throne, in these short few months, let

I understand that it is really difficult to be the emperor. It is even more difficult to be a wise emperor. I remember that on the day I ascended the throne, I encountered a lot of thorny problems. These problems have always troubled me and made it difficult for me to sleep and eat well.

.”

"I failed to relieve your worries, so please forgive me."

All the ministers shouted very hypocritical words in unison.

Zhao Kai waved his hand and said hehe: "But last night, I received two memorials. The content of the memorials is exactly about the problems that trouble me. Moreover, it also explains the solution. Regardless of whether I really have it or not, this is

I am very gratified and happy, and I am very much looking forward to today’s morning court meeting. This first memorial was presented by Qin Shaozai, is this the second memorial?”

As he spoke, he suddenly turned to Bai Qiannuo and said, "It was submitted by the newly appointed economic envoy. After I saw the memorial from the economic envoy, I was very glad for my original decision. Otherwise, I would have lost a good helper."

ah."

The ministers all looked at Bai Qiannuo in surprise. They originally thought that as a woman, Bai Qiannuo would be very low-key on her first day in court. Who knew that the memorial was presented last night and was praised by the emperor?

It's no longer low-key, but a blockbuster.

Li Qi was not surprised at all, because she knew the purpose of Bai Qiannuo's appointment as economic envoy, so it was reasonable for Bai Qiannuo to do so. As for memorials, he had always had a disdainful attitude.

It was written orally and rarely presented as a memorial. Even if it was written, it was written by Qin Hui. In fact, he was ashamed of pen and ink!

Bai Qiannuo stood up without being humble or arrogant, saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

Zhao Kai nodded with a smile and said loudly: "Actually, the shortcomings of our Song Dynasty have been exposed for a long time. It can even be said that it is known to the world, but it has not been solved. The most critical ones are nothing more than land annexation and three redundancies.

phenomenon, the imperial court has been seeking ways to improve this phenomenon, but has achieved little. After I came to the throne, I made up my mind to change all this. If this phenomenon is not eliminated, our Song Dynasty will be brought down sooner or later.

"

"The Emperor's Holy Ming."

Zhao Kai said to Qin Hui again: "Qin Shaozai, you said in the memorial that this is the best time to restrain land annexation, but then you said that you can't do it with brute force, only a complete tax system can do it.

To take care of both ends, please tell me."

Qin Huidao: "Reporting to the Emperor, when I was the deputy economic envoy in the Bureau of Commerce, I did a lot of land surveys and found that farmers in our country only occupy 30% of the country's fields, but landlords own 70% of the fields, and farmers account for 80% of our population.

, the landowner only occupies 10%, which shows that the land annexation has become very serious."

When this set of data was told, the officials secretly smacked their lips. They all knew that this was very serious, but they did not expect that the gap was so big.
