"He's here to pave the way?"

After Huang Kezhang left, Secretary Wang was a little uncertain.

"I can't talk about it, I'm just here to test it."

Yang Xindao.

Old man Huang came to test the ambition of King Zhennan on behalf of the Fujian gentry.

At this time, if you want to believe that the king of Zhennan is still a loyal minister, it is too true, his current control area even exceeds that of Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and his military strength obviously exceeds that of the imperial court.

Then the gentry had to think about how to face this ...... in the future

This warlord too.

Anyway, at this time, he can be described as a warlord.

Other places can wait and see, but the Fujian gentry are not qualified to wait and see, whether it is from land or sea, Yang Xin has already pinched them, if Yang Xin is not interested in going north next, then they will bear the brunt of expansion. But it is also an exaggeration to ask the Fujian gentry to prepare their fields for a bloody battle to the end, and the leaders of the Fujian gentry are the coastal ones, and their wealth is not land but overseas trade. In the inland, because of the special situation in Fujian, there are no super landlords like Su Song, who have hundreds of thousands or millions of fields, and they do not have such conditions at all, that is, middle landlords on flat land in the mountains.

For the sake of those hundreds of thousands of acres of land, it seems a little unwise to end up in a battle with almost no chance of winning.

No more money.

If the rich coastal gentry do not join, and the inland landlords cannot afford to fight at all, the Fujian gentry really want to test it and see if they can find a good way out.

This is the purpose of Huang Kezhang's passing through Nanjing.

And Yang Xin gave him a satisfactory answer, so the Fujian gentry will be sensible next.

"The mind is not pure!"

Yang Xindao.

In the future, if there is really a usurper of the Yang Xinmou Dynasty, they will welcome the king when necessary, and shout long live to the new monarch mountain, as long as the new monarch is not too harsh on them and can meet some of their requirements

And it's not just Fujian, I'm afraid there are already many local gentry who think like this at this time.

For example, the Cantonese gentry.

In the past few years, the Guangdong gentry have all taken a wait-and-see approach, although there is a reason for the suppression of the Nanyang Navy Division and the interest connection of the Nanyang Company, but it is also related to the loyalty of the Guangdong gentry to Qi. In the end, they don't care what the emperor's surname is, as long as their interests are not touched, at least their core interests cannot be touched, and the core interests of the gentry in Fujian and Guangdong provinces have long been not land. At least the gentry in the Pearl River Delta, the most important wealth has become industry and commerce, and the inland mountainous areas are indeed dominated by agriculture and planting, but the problem is that they are also the same as Fujian, because of the terrain, it is difficult to have super large landlords, that is, mainly medium landlords.

The middle landlord had no money to resist.

The big landowners who really hold the wealth on the coast are not willing to risk losing everything after failure for the sake of land that is no longer the root of wealth.

The wealth in the hands of the landlords was not enough to resist.

Then, knowing that Yang Xin would definitely encourage industry and commerce, especially to encourage overseas trade and development, the Fujian and Cantonese gentry, with this as their core interest, began to consider kicking it when necessary, and it was normal to accept him. In the end, they have no loyalty to the old Zhu family, especially now that Qi Ye is obviously starting to think about them, this emperor does not seem to be more cute than Yang Xin after showing his minions. And there is a huge interest group behind Qi to feed, and they are all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but Yang Xin's interest group behind him is even more, and it is now more honest......

At least he didn't have a group of eunuchs behind him.

There are no bunch of vassal kings.

There is no hereditary family.

In short, deducting the fact that he divided the land, Yang Xin was actually much more lovely to the gentry than Qi, but with the addition of the land division, the gentry had no choice.

Alas, they are also at a loss.

"I'm at a loss, too!"

King Zhennan said with a sad face.

And at this moment, two thousand miles away in the capital of a mansion garden Zheng

"How about nine thousand years old?"

Wei Guangwei looked at Feng Quan, who walked into the pavilion, and said expectantly.

Others were also looking at Feng Quan.

These are all martyrs, and the nine thousand years old are the most active in the sycophants.

However, Gu Bingqian has already gone home, anyway, his family's land has also been divided, and it is useless to make any more trouble, and during this time, the dark tide in the capital is surging, and he is old, and he does not dare to stay any longer. Qi's reform has nothing to do with him, his family is in the area controlled by Yang Xin, and he may not be caught up in the whirlpool of struggle if he stays behind, and his life is not guaranteed, this kind of old fox is very shrewd. Recently, there are actually quite a few resignations in the DPRK and China, and there are more than one or two old foxes, who just happened to come back from the south and a bunch of idlers have nowhere to settle.

Gu Bingqian also added a young master!

The rest is headed by Wei Guangwei, who is also a cabinet minister, a scholar of Jianji Palace, and a scholar of the Ministry of Officials.

Known as the Duke of Waiwei.

However, at present, the most favored person around the nine thousand years old is Feng Quan, Feng who was poisoned by Miao Chang, and now he is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and a thirty-year-old minister!

Although Feng's character is not very good, his talent has to be admitted.

That's also Fulin Aichen!

At this moment, there are Wang Yongguang and Cui Chengxiu who are left to sit down, he has made slow progress around the nine thousand years old over the years, mainly because Sun Chengzong controls the military department, he has never been able to seize power, and those generals are not even governors in various places, people only recognize Sun Chengzong, he is a fart, he is honestly the right waiter, the left waiter can't take his turn, and Wang Shaohui, Huo Weihua, Xue Zhen and more than a dozen others, all of whom are martyrdom cores.

In their gaze, Feng Quan slowly shook his head with a gloomy face.

Wei Guang sat down slightly.

Huo Weihua slapped the table hatefully.

The rest of the gang were all gloomy......

"Nine thousand years old, the divine will has been decided, and these two things must be done no matter what.

And there are already a lot of things in the hands of the nine thousand years old, and he also points to the name of the Duke of Chong, and only pays 10,000 acres of land for 100,000 mu of good land in the Daochong Gong's house, and it is already a long live grace to have 10,000 mu of tax exemption, but 80,000 mu is a bit too much if you don't pay taxes. Forget about the past, now that the Lord is in trouble, those of us who are courtiers have to help the Lord Banzai, just pay taxes, and there are only a few liters of land per acre, as long as the holy family is still there, then what is this point? ”

Feng Quan said.

"Nine thousand years old, what kind of rumors are you listening to, how can my family have so many fields!"

Wei Guangwei argued as if his innocence had been tarnished out of thin air.

"And Brother Dechun, nine thousand years old, your family smuggled 30,000 taels of salt from Hedong last year, which is too unusual, Hedong only produces 1 million taels a year, and he won't pursue it before, but you have to go back and prepare 10,000 taels of silver, which is considered to be dedicated to Your Majesty to help the country, and the taxes that should be paid after the reform of the salt law in the future will still have to be paid."

Feng Quan said to Xue Zhen.

"This is a false accusation, this is a deliberate false accusation, how can 9,000 years old even believe this? My Hancheng Xue family is not a famous family, how dare such a big smuggling! ”

Xue Zhen wanted to cry without tears.

Saying that, he is a little sorry for this, the Xue family in Hancheng is the number one family, just at this time, there are four jinshi officials, and there is also a former historical first assistant Xue Guoguan in the criminal department as for smuggling some Hedong salt, then he is nine thousand years old cronies, martyrdom, smuggling tens of thousands of smuggled salt is a fart, which hairpin clan in these places around Hedong Yanchi does not sell smuggled salt? More than one million official salt is introduced a year, and 150 states and counties are marketed, of course, it is impossible to let go of such a big piece of fat, otherwise why would it be infamous to be martyred with the 9,000-year-old?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just conveyed the meaning of nine thousand years old, and there is no need to mention whether there is any wrongdoing."

Feng Quan said.

He was also in a bad mood at the moment.

His Feng family is also a bunch of hidden fields, and his father is already a political envoy......

Originally, in history, his father was rumored to have been removed from his post and taken the board back to death because he was afraid that Jiannu would abandon the official and escape, but this method is a bit weird, because his father was the political envoy of Henan at the time, and he only escaped when the wild boar skin attacked Liaoshen, which is obviously a bit exaggerated, and he actually ran away in Henan because the wild boar skin hit Liaoyang and prepared to avoid Wu Yue.

It's a bit early to prepare.

But regardless of whether this law was true or false in the original history, his father did not have it at this time, and he has been working as a political envoy in Henan.

The Feng family, father and son, two generations, a political envoy, a cabinet scholar!

Tens of thousands of acres of hidden land at home are a fart!

"Why does it have to be like this? Let's follow the 9,000-year-old saddle before and after the horse, loyal, there is no merit and hard work, how can the 9000-year-old listen to these slanders? ”

Wei Guangwei lamented.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time Your Majesty is iron-hearted, the Qingzhang Sect's field property is just an introduction, after this year's investigation, next year, all the places will be cleared, and they are ready to borrow people from Yang Xin, so as not to let anyone do anything. Nine thousand years old means, that is, we have some hidden fields in our own families, and this year we will quickly report to the official and pay taxes privately, don't find out when the time comes, it is not good-looking, Your Majesty is going to find a few to kill a hundred people.

The same goes for salt.

A new salt law must be implemented by the end of this year, and this is the deadline for the Lord of Long Live.

And it is to follow Yang Xinxue, but all salt households produce salt to restore the old system, hand over the salt to the salt field and then exchange the grain, the Yang family will prepare the salt factory warehouses in the south of Miyue Changlu, and the nine-thousand-year-old grain is not enough to be called directly from the Yang family's warehouse.

Salt merchants can only find salt from the salt farm, and the salt tax is all added to the field price.

The same goes for the Hedong Salt Works.

In addition, the imperial history of salt patrol was revoked, and the salt transportation departments in various places were revoked, and only the ambassadors of the salt farms were retained. In addition, the general army of the forbidden wall was set up in Yanchi in Hedong, and a battalion of cavalry was also transferred from Yang Xin to patrol the forbidden wall, and smugglers were killed.

Ladies and gentlemen, our good days are over! ”

Feng Quan's face was solemn and authentic.
