Chapter 397 New Things

Since Emperor Jingtai promised rewards to the farming law and commercial law in front of the general public, this made Jiang Lang feel a little passive in his work. He had to consider rewards and also consider ensuring national taxes. Although it was simple in front of Jiang Chengzhi, it was not so easy to do, and Jiang Lang was very worried about this.

Three days later, after discussing the relevant content with Xie Shusheng and others, Jiang Lang walked out of the room and stretched his waist hard. He was used to fighting life and suddenly wanted to do these things. Moreover, this was much more tiring than fighting.

However, as soon as he left the door, he saw Eunuch Qian coming from afar. Jiang Lang suddenly had the urge to avoid it. When Eunuch Qian came, there must be nothing good. To a large extent, the emperor invited him. However, when the emperor invited him, he naturally couldn't handle some troublesome things. He needed his own help, and it was definitely not a simple matter.

However, this is because the monk cannot hide from the temple, so Jiang Lang could only shake his head slightly and face it helplessly. Qian Eunuch Qian's face was filled with smiles.

Jiang Lang bowed and smiled and said, "Isn't this Mr. Qian? I don't know that you are here to find me from a long distance, right?"

Eunuch Qian said more, smiled slightly, and said, "You can't say anything, Lord Wang is here to find you."

Jiang Lang smiled unchanged on his face, put down his hand, approached for a while, and asked with some awareness: "It's not that the emperor is in trouble again, right?"

Now it was Mr. Qian's turn to be surprised, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, look at you, you are simply a living god. You guessed it again. Since that's the case, we won't say much. Let's go with me. The emperor is still waiting. If this emperor is anxious, that would be bad."

Jiang Lang nodded slightly and said, "That's the same, but the emperor summoned me not only for anything important? Can my father-in-law reveal a little?"

"I don't know this!"

Mr. Qian shook his head and said, "This holy intention is unpredictable. I am a slave, so I know what the emperor means? But the emperor is urging me in a hurry. We want to guess that is also an important thing. Don't delay this, it's more important to hurry up."

Seeing that Brother Qian didn't know, Jiang Lang didn't force him, so he followed Brother Qian straight to the Imperial Garden. In the Royal Garden, Emperor Jingtai, wearing a dragon robe, was lying on the railing, leisurely feeding the fish in the fish pond. However, Jiang Lang couldn't help but have an illusion that Emperor Jingtai summoned him because he was too bored.

So he stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and whispered: "I bow to the emperor!"

Emperor Jingtai turned his head, put down the fish in his hand, clapped his hands, and then said, "Please get up with me, my dear!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Lang did not rudely. After thanking him, he stood up, lowered his head slightly, and waited for Emperor Jingtai to speak.

"Sit...!"

Emperor Jingtai pointed to the stool next to him and said, "I know you were busy in the end for this reform, so I asked someone to prepare some pastries, so don't be polite."

Jiang Lang looked up at the table, and there were indeed some pastries on the table, red, green, yellow, and all kinds of colors, and they were very delicately made. He happened to be hungry, and he knew a little about the temper of Emperor Jingtai. He was unhappy when he was worried about the important things, so he said, "Thank you, the emperor!"

After saying that, I was not polite, sat down, picked up a piece of green pastry, and bite it gently, and it was a piece of mung bean cake. The chef's skills are good. The mung bean cake is delicious and it tastes salty and sweet.

“How is it?”

Seeing Jiang Lang eating with relish, Jingtaidi immediately felt very happy and asked quickly.

Jiang Lang didn't say that he raised his right thumb, and said it was good, and then nodded constantly.

Seeing this, Emperor Jingtai was very happy and turned his head and shouted: "Come here, I am preparing a meal with the same pastry and sending someone to Junma Mansion!"

When Jiang Lang heard this, he didn't expect Emperor Jingtai to do so. He quickly picked up the tea, took a sip, swallowed the things in his mouth, and then said, "Thank you, the emperor!"

Emperor Jingtai smiled slightly and said, "What are you grateful for? Eat first, and you will say what you have to eat after you have something to say!"

Jiang Lang patted his belly. Although it was a bit indecent, he also narrowed his distance from Emperor Jingtai from one side and said immediately: "Your Majesty, I am already full, thank you!"

Emperor Jingtai smiled slightly and then said, "I've been busy for a while."

Jiang Lang quickly shook his head and said, "It is the duty of the empress to share the worries for the emperor."

Emperor Jingtai nodded and said, "I know your loyalty. By the way, how is the progress of the other two laws now?"

“It’s very slow!”

Jiang Lang couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Compared with the military service law, the two behind are the foundation of the country, so you must be careful. Once you are negligent, the consequences will be unimaginable and all progress will be very slow."

A trace of solemnity appeared on Emperor Jingtai's face and asked, "Does it take more people to send?"

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "This is not a matter of manpower. Even if there are people, the progress may not be fast. What we need to do now is to implement the law in a situation that conforms to the current national conditions of the Ming Dynasty. It is beneficial to the court and the people, and it is beneficial to the people. It is necessary to win-win results. Therefore, there is still a big problem in this. We must consider the court and the people."

Emperor Jingtai nodded slightly, and stood opposite Jiang Lang, saying, "What are you going to do now?"

Jiang Lang was silent for a moment before saying, "I plan to seek opinions from the people of the world?"

"So ask the people for their opinions?"

Emperor Jingtai was shocked at Jiang Lan's thoughts, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Lang gently tapped the table with his hand and said, "Weichen planned to implement this farming method in sections first. The first stage is to reward land reclamation and production. The second stage is to reduce taxes and other aspects and other other methods. Rice will be planted soon. We cannot miss this opportunity."

Emperor Jingtai did not object to Jiang Lang's words, but asked: "You said it well, so this part can be implemented first, so what is the other part you said? You said you want to seek opinions from the people of the world? Why is this?"

Jiang Lang knew that the important matter was not explained and asked for money. Emperor Jingtai was worried. He said: "To put it bluntly, the laws used by merchants and ordinary people must be in line with them and allow them to accept them. The laws formulated now are all court ministers and scholars I found. This is inevitable and inconsiderate. Therefore, I plan to make friends with people who are highly respected or loved by the people in various places after the law is formulated and then ask them to seek their opinions after the law is formulated. In this way, the disadvantages in the law can be reduced. At the same time, these people will ask them to implement the law after they go back, which can also reduce the difficulty of implementing the law and speed up the implementation of the law."

Emperor Jingtai smiled slightly and said hesitantly: "This method is good, but it seems that there is no such method since ancient times. If the laws in the court are asked to discuss by ordinary people, is it a loss of the prestige of the court? Moreover, many ministers in the court will also object."

Jiang Lang shook his head slightly and said, "Otherwise, there is a sentence in Zhuge Liang's "Memorial to the Emperor": It is necessary to open a holy listening, to highlight the virtues of the late emperor and to magnify the aura of a patriot. It is not appropriate to underestimate oneself or to induce the meaning of the unrighteousness and to block the path of loyal advice. Now we do this, we are listening to the voices of the people, so that the emperor can truly know the affairs of the people in the world, as for the ministers in the court...!"

Jiang Lang was silent for a moment and said, "I know they would object. In this case, what the emperor needs is just a word, hurry up! Issuing an imperial edict immediately. Even if the ministers oppose, the emperor will cook the raw rice and cook it thoroughly. When they pour it, they can't help but oppose it."

Emperor Jingtai was stunned, then laughed and said, "Isn't this a rogue way? It seems that my imperial edict has been issued anyway and I can't take it back. What do you want to do is to do, it's just a helpless solution."

Jiang Lang sighed and said, "Robbers are rogues. At this time, we don't care about what others say. Only by opening up the holy listening can we know what the people below need and what the court should do for them. Only when the people below are stable can we maintain long-term stability on the rivers of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, I am also wondering whether this method is made into a system, held every two years to listen to the people's hearts. In this way, we can also know how our policies are implemented. If they are all handed over to officials, I am afraid that they will be inaccurate!"

Emperor Jingtai thought for a while and said, "I don't think I'm in a hurry. Try it first. If the results are good, we might as well implement it so that the ministers below can shut the mouths of them, otherwise I will be annoyed to death in one day!"
