Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 42 National Policy: Stalling into Mu!
"It's still Wang Gonggong who is thoughtful."

Xiao Lizi nodded approvingly, and continued: "Your 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's establishment of the East Factory is definitely the most wise!"

At this moment, the top ten stalls are completely loyal, and everyone is full of excitement.

Those present were all incomplete eunuchs, who were now 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, it will be a waste of time.

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 there are all the witnesses and material evidence, so that everyone has nothing to say, which is exactly what Wang Jin hopes.

It was at the time when the new organization, Dongchang, was thinking about the plan and how to do it best.

Also tonight, Song Gongwen, the second assistant 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, the mansion of the Song Mansion.

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

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the husband with frowning and serious expression.

"Master, it's time, and the weather hasn't warmed up yet. You should go back to your room early to rest. It doesn't matter if you have something to do tomorrow." Seeing this, Mrs. Song's face flashed with distress, and she immediately persuaded her.

"No, the imperial meeting will be held in a few days. There are still some shortcomings in this memorial, and it needs to be improved."

Song Gongwen raised his head and continued: "If Ma'am is tired, you can go back to the room and rest first."

After speaking, he picked up the pen again and kept writing on the paper.

Obviously, the memorial could not be completed.

Will not go back to rest.

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

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

It's even more bloody, except for going to the cabinet to work every day, he stays in the study almost every day, even eating in there.

Although a bachelor, in a high position, does deal with a lot of things.

But as a wife, she cared more about her husband's health, what if she was 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 still stared at the content on the paper to see if there were any omissions or areas that needed to be improved.

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

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

"It's about national policy, so serious?"

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

Song Gongwen nodded, did not refuse, and stepped aside, just in time to take a rest.

At this time, Mrs. Song also saw the name of the memorial. There are not many words, only four: "Ban Ding Ru Mu!"

"Everything goes to the mother?" She frowned, but she didn't say anything, she just read it carefully.

Song Gongwen was not surprised by this.

My wife was also a lady of the family, and she has read books, so of course she can understand what is written in it, and maybe she can give some advice.

After a long time, after Mrs. Song had read all the memorabilia, the expression on her face had changed from curiosity to solemnity. She hesitated for a moment, but she still asked, "Master, do you want to reform the tax system?"

The reason why she did this was because she knew exactly what the meaning of this memorial was.

To reform the tax system, if it is simpler, it is a reform!
What is reform?

It refers to making major changes to the dynastic legal system.

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

This is why, Song Gongwen would say that his memorial is related to national policy.

Mrs. Song read it back and forth, of course she knew.

If it continues to be carried out, it will definitely be a great thing for the people of the world.

However, she is very worried, because the reform is difficult, and she will encounter unimaginable difficulties and resistance on the way.

And the most important point is that those who have always advocated reform, no matter whether they succeed or not, almost never end well.

Just because she knew the danger, Mrs. Song became even more worried, and she couldn't help saying: "Master, you just took office, and you suddenly come to such a memorial, isn't that... not good?"

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

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

"Not good?" Song Gongwen shook his head when he heard the words. He naturally knew what his wife meant.

But I would not accept it in my heart, thinking to myself, the more fierce is yet to come!
Of course, Song Gongwen understood that such matters should not be rushed.

It is best to draw it slowly.

Immediately, he looked at his wife and said, "It's not that you don't know that the court looks like it is full of flowers and a prosperous age, but in reality? Many problems have already appeared, such as the wind of land annexation, almost every government It’s happening all over the place, which can still be found, and what else can’t be found?”

"If this goes on for a long time, it will become more and more difficult for the imperial court to collect taxes, and the money in the treasury will decrease year by year. There is only one way to solve this situation, and that is to implement the tax payment to the field. go."

"Let those with more land pay more, those with less land pay less, and those without land not pay. This will not only effectively curb the trend of land mergers, but also reduce the burden on the common people. Why not do it?"

"Master, I naturally understand what you said, but even if the booklet is handed over, will those courtiers agree and support it?"

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

She really understands the great benefits of sharing the income of the family, and it will bring a lot of benefits to the common people.

But it is very difficult to be successful.

Maybe some people will scold and interfere.

To know.

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

Also, during the more than ten years in Dali Temple, the public opinion of colleagues and the common people also did not understand.

What's more, now we have to start reforming it?The difference between the two cannot be compared.

What Mrs. Song thinks is that her husband and children can live a stable life, and she doesn't want to worry about it every day.

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

"Ma'am, your husband and I have wasted decades of time, and I don't want to waste any more time. Reform is imperative!"
