Chapter 42 National Policy: Spread the amount of money to earn acres!

"Your Majesty is still thoughtful."

Xiao Lizi nodded with deep understanding and continued: "His Majesty is an eternal sage, and he trusts us eunuchs so much. Even if he dies, His Majesty cannot be blamed at all!"

"We must prove to everyone that His Majesty is definitely the most wise in setting up the East Factory!"

At this moment, the ten stalls were completely loyal, and all of them were filled with excitement.

There were all incomplete eunuchs present, and now they were entrusted with important tasks by the emperor.

And given such authority.

Therefore, everyone has a certain sense of honor in their hearts.

If you are still dragging your feet at this time, you will be in vain.

Wang Jin looked at them with a look of relief, calmed down, and began to discuss the plan to go to Longyang Mansion.

Everyone agreed that this was Dongchang’s first case and it must be handled beautifully!

Therefore, finding out this matter is only the basis.

The most important thing is that the evidence is complete, leaving everyone speechless. This is exactly what Wang Jin hopes.

It was when the new organization Dongchang was planning and figuring out how to do it best.

Also tonight, the official document of Song Dynasty, the second minister of the cabinet.

I am preparing to write my first memorial after taking office for the imperial meeting in the near future!

...

Late at night, Song Mansion Residence.

Mrs. Song came to the study carrying a bowl of ginseng soup.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my husband with a frown on his face and a serious look on his face.

"Master, it's past midnight and the weather hasn't warmed up yet. It's better to go back to your room and rest early. It doesn't matter if you have something to do tomorrow." Seeing this, Mrs. Song had a trace of distress on her face and immediately advised her.

"No, there will be an imperial meeting in a few days. This memorial still has some shortcomings and needs to be improved."

Song Gongwen raised his head and continued: "Madam, if you are tired, you can go back to the house and rest first."

After saying that, he picked up the pen again and kept writing something on the paper.

Obviously, the memorial could not be completed.

I won't go back to rest.

"It's been a few days, haven't you finished this memorial yet?"

Mrs. Song was a little helpless, ever since the master came back from the Taifu's house that day.

It was like taking a shot. Apart from going to the cabinet office every day, I spent almost every day in the study, even eating there.

Although a bachelor holds a high position, he does have to deal with a lot of things.

But as a wife, she is more concerned about her husband's health. What should she do if she is exhausted?

"This memorial is different from the past. It is related to national policy, so it is natural to be cautious." Song Gongwen said, but he still stared at the content on the paper to see if there were any omissions or areas that needed to be improved.

As mentioned before, the memorial in front of me is very important, and even related to the national destiny of the entire Wei Dynasty.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time and energy focusing on it.

"It's related to national policy. Is it so serious?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Song immediately walked over and asked curiously: "Can I take a look?"

Song Gongwen nodded, did not refuse, and moved his position so that he could take a rest.

At this time, Mrs. Song also saw the title of the memorial. There were not many words, only four: Spreading the ding into the mu!

"Spreading the land into the house?" She frowned, but didn't say anything. She just read through it carefully.

Song Gongwen was not surprised by this.

My wife was once a lady, and after reading the book, of course she can understand what is written in it, and maybe she can give some suggestions.

After a long time, when Mrs. Song finished reading the entire memorial, the expression on her face changed from curiosity to solemnity. She hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Master, do you want to reform the tax system?"

The reason why she is like this is because she fully understands the meaning of this memorial.

To reform the tax system, if we say it is simple, it is a reform!

What is reform?

It refers to major changes in the dynastic legal system.

If carried out well, it will definitely have a very far-reaching impact and even make a weak country strong and prosperous.

This is why Song official documents said that his memorial was related to national policy.

Mrs. Song looked it over and over again, of course she knew.

If we can continue to implement the practice of sharing small acres into acres, it will definitely be a good thing for the people of the world.

However, she was very worried because reform was difficult and she would encounter unimaginable difficulties and resistance along the way.

And the most important point is that those who have always advocated political reform will almost never end well, regardless of whether they succeed or fail.

Just because she knew the danger, Mrs. Song became even more worried. She couldn't help but said: "Master, you have just taken office, and you suddenly come with such a memorial. Isn't this... not good?"

In fact, she wanted to say something harsh, but considering her husband's mood, she was more tactful and her tone was very gentle.

However, the meaning of that sentence is very obvious, that is, I hope that the other party can temporarily give up this idea.

"Not good?" Song Gongwen heard this and shook his head. He naturally knew his wife's intention.

But I wouldn't accept it in my heart, thinking, something worse is yet to come!

Of course, Song Gongwen knew that this kind of thing should not be rushed.

It's best to figure it out slowly.

Immediately, he looked at his wife and said: "It's not that you don't know that the imperial court seems to be flourishing and prosperous, but in reality? Many problems have arisen, such as the annexation of land, almost every government has

It’s happening all over the place, but it can still be found, but what about the others that can’t be found?”

"If this goes on for a long time, it will become more and more difficult for the court to collect taxes, and the money in the national treasury will become less and less year by year. There is only one way to solve this situation, and that is to implement the method of apportioning every liter into an acre, and the tax will be paid directly to the fields.

go."

"Let those with more land pay more, those with less land pay less, and those with no land not pay at all. This will not only effectively curb the trend of land annexation, but also reduce the burden on the people. Why not?"

"Of course I understand what you said, sir, but even if I hand over the certificate, will the courtiers agree and support it?"

Mrs. Song continued: "And even if you agree, the master may encounter a lot of dangers and the pressure will be even greater..."

She really understands the great benefits of sharing the land from one person to another, and it will bring a lot of benefits to the people.

But it is very difficult to do it successfully.

You may even be scolded and interfered by some people.

To know.

Back then, my master was suppressed just because he was young and energetic.

And during the more than ten years in Dali Temple, colleagues and people did not understand.

What's more, now we have to start carrying out reforms? The differences between the two cannot be compared.

What Mrs. Song wants is for her husband and children to live a stable life, and she does not want to worry and be afraid every day.

However, Song Gongwen shook his head at this time and said: "A real man has something to do and something not to do in his life. Could it be that just because something is very difficult to do and there are many obstacles, then if you don't do it, just do it?"

Have you given up?"

"Madam, your husband and I have wasted decades of time, and I don't want to continue to waste time. Reform is imperative!"
