Chapter 45 Father-in-law, are you stabbing me on your back?

Song Gongwen just finished speaking.

The entire imperial study room became quiet.

The three cabinet ministers no longer continued to have friendly exchanges.

He turned his head in unison to look at Song Gongwen.

Only the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Zhengming, still half-closed his eyes and sat firmly on Mount Tai.

As for Wei Yunyi, he looked expectant.

Just as I was about to ask you, you said it yourself.

Father-in-law, you are very sensible.

Of course, what he was looking forward to was not that he felt that the other party could really come up with any way to increase fiscal revenue.

You know, the other three great ministers have been in great numbers for many years, and they are very capable and meticulous, but they can only think about where to save some money.

How long has Song Gongwen been in office? I’m afraid he hasn’t even figured out the matters of the Ministry of Revenue.

Plus the name of mediocrity that is well known to the court.

What good solutions can be come up with?

Wei Yunyi completely disbelieved in this.

The reason I look forward to it is to think that the other party can come up with some bad ideas.

It is best to be the kind that is opposed by everyone, and you choose to strongly support it.

In this way, the country's destiny can be better damaged.

Immediately, he looked at the other party and said kindly with a smile: "Oh? The father-in-law can tell you what he wants."

In fact, although Song Gongwen was the queen's father, he had a low status and insufficient prestige before. Compared to the name of the father-in-law, the ministers in the court actually agreed with another person, namely the Marquis of Shenwu.

But I just gave some face to this so-called father-in-law and didn't care about it in private.

Wei Yunyi’s name is Song Gongwen, which is to tell everyone what he values.

Sure enough, the senior officials present frowned when they heard this.

But no one dared to say anything at this time.

But Song Gongwen couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Because this is the first time I have heard the title of father-in-law since my daughter entered the palace and became the queen, and it is in the mouth of His Majesty.

What a trust and support this is!

He was very moved at this moment, but fortunately he was steady enough to show it. Instead, he took a deep breath, took a few notes from his sleeve, and said, "I think that if you want to increase the income of the treasury, you should start with the tax system."

"The tax system of our Great Wei continued the previous dynasty and had great disadvantages. Although it was reformed during the period of the late emperor, there were still many imperfections that needed to be strengthened."

"These days old ministers have thought of a way at home and have written them all in detail. Your Majesty and a few colleagues can take a look."

"I think that if it can be implemented smoothly, the court will definitely increase taxes greatly and alleviate the pressure on the treasury."

As he said that, he placed the notes one by one in front of several cabinet ministers.

The last book was presented respectfully.

There was even a hint of excitement on his face.

Song Gongwen felt.

My first memorial will definitely get the support of Your Majesty!

Is the father-in-law going to reform the tax system?

Wei Yunyi heard this.

Suddenly I had a bad premonition.

Especially when you open the memorial and see the first four words, your eyes change.

Is it the one I understand?

No way?

Wei Yunyi's expression changed slightly.

Then he quickly looked at it and read the contents.

Now he hopes that the two are just the same name, and the others are completely different.

But when you see from the beginning and understand what is written on the note, you immediately make sure that what is written in it is the one you know, and it is exactly the same, and the tax that completely abolishes the cap tax will be put into the acres!

At this moment, he had never expected that the other party's first memorial was to reform the tax system.

And it’s a big killer weapon like a dive!

Immediately, Wei Yunyi couldn't help but raise his head.

Looking at Song Gongwen opposite.

My mind is full of doubts.

Father-in-law, how did you come up with this national policy to enhance luck?

You know, my expectations for you are different from others.

I worked hard to promote you to the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet to help me better corrupt the country's destiny and obtain the value of a fool.

What about your sleekness? What about your temptation to be strong? And your mediocre ability to be famous in the capital? Where have you gone?

What does it mean to just create a dime and put it into a mu? Is it okay to implement it smoothly?

What do you think? I usually see you silently.

This opening means to spread the dime into the acres?

What is this to do?

Do you want to stab me back?

He knew that once the national policy of dives was implemented, not only would the imperial court's tax revenue increase dramatically, but the economy would also have a huge growth, and then the national treasury deposits continued to increase.

More importantly, the total abolition of the poll tax and the reduction of the burden on the people will also lead to a population outbreak.

If the three are combined, let alone ruin the country's destiny.

Fast forward directly to the coming of the immortal!

At this time, Wei Yunyi felt a little tired, and his hands holding the memorial were trembling slightly.

No, I must not let this happen. The benefits of digging into a mu are too great.

Now I can't stand it at all!

So, it must not be supported!

Not only can we not support it, but we must also oppose it vigorously.

Let no one mention this matter again!

At this point, he put down his memorial and prepared to say something.

But that's at this time.

The Grand Tutor Zhang Zhengming, who had never spoken, suddenly stood up, bowed slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Song said about digging into acres can certainly increase tax revenue, but it has a lot of impact. The old minister thinks it is not suitable for implementation."

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi's words were held back and looked at the other party with a strange look.

Who is Zhang Zhengming? He is a true famous minister and his ability is obvious to all.

Especially in the original work.

This person has made almost no mistakes in governing the country.

The other party has made great contributions to the great Wei Dynasty's current strength.

He is the existence of the sea of ​​suffering on the road of a foolish emperor.

So it has been decided long ago that as long as this person opposes it, it is correct.

Logically speaking, such people.

You can definitely see how great the benefits of diligent acres are.

I also know that this move can definitely greatly enhance the strength of the Great Wei.

But now, the other party doesn't support it and doesn't say it, and is the first to stand up to oppose it...

What's the meaning?

Is there something in it that I haven't seen through?

Yes, it must be the case.

Wei Yunyi pondered in his heart, and then spoke, "Oh? Why did the Grand Tutor say this?"

Although it is against this person, it must be true.

But he still wants to know the specific reasons for not supporting it.

"Report to Your Majesty, let alone other things, how long has the cap tax been implemented yet?"

"It's been over a thousand years!" Zhang Zhengming continued: "And this has also formed the default rules of various dynasties. It can be said that since ancient times, almost everyone has been accustomed to it. Now, if you suddenly want to break this rule, implement the tax on a deposit, and abolish the captive tax, how much will it be? Even the empress cannot imagine,"

"Besides, in the reform of the tax system, there are too many things involved, which can be said to have a single move and a whole body, not a matter of one day or one night."

"Maybe this move will shake the foundation of the Great Wei Dynasty and cause various difficult problems to end."

"So Weichen believes that it is good to spend acres of resident acres, but it is not yet time."
