If Zhu Changluo could see what Wang Xijue was thinking at this moment, he would definitely sigh that the old fox deserved to be an old fox, such a skill in deducing the situation and grasping the hearts of the people was simply terrifying.

Zhu Changluo did think about using Sun Piyang's power to influence the result, but in the end he gave up.

First, he can't figure out what Sun Piyang means now, and secondly, as Wang Xijue is concerned, even if Sun Piyang is willing to risk offending the Zhejiang Party and hand over Han Yi alone, he may not be able to guarantee that he will not be on a business trip this time.

Of course, there is another point, there is no square circle without rules, the rules accumulated by the imperial court over the years are the foundation for maintaining the good operation of this imperial court, if it is not necessary, Zhu Changluo does not want to open this bad rule.

Otherwise, once the courtiers scramble to follow suit, wouldn't the entire court be in chaos!

Therefore, if you can do it according to the rules and follow the process, you will naturally follow the rules.

This is also the reason why he invited Wang Xijue to come over today, the situation in the cabinet, Zhu Changluo can be regarded as a penetrant observer, the four factions are distinct, but they are entangled with each other.

And this time it can be regarded as a battle between the Zhejiang Party and the Imperial Party, but don't forget that there are only three ministers who belong to these two factions in the cabinet, and there are two people who speak in a way that do not stand in line, that is, the first assistant Wang Xijue and the second assistant Zhen Zhenji.

But it is obvious that the first assistant and the second assistant have always been incompatible, and Zhu Changluo wants to use the power of one of them, so it is impossible to get the strength of the other, so after weighing, Zhu Changluo still chose Wang Xijue.

First, because Wang Xijue is the first assistant after all, and his voice in the cabinet far exceeds that of other cabinet ministers, and the probability of success is much greater, and the second is because strictly speaking, the reason why this errand can pass the court meeting is still dependent on Wang Xijue's help, don't forget, it was the old first first to propose to replace the mining tax with a whip at the court meeting, which led to a series of things later.

What's more, from the overall level, the reason why Wang Xijue proposed a whip law to replace the mining tax was to gain Zhu Changluo's trust, which was an act of goodwill, and with the show of goodwill, Zhu Changluo had to respond.

In this way, it can send a signal to the outside world that the emperor and the first assistant are united, so from the overall situation, Zhu Changluo also has to find Wang Xijue to be a helper.

And with Wang Xijue's help, plus Li Tingji's help, yes, Li Tingji's help, although Zhu Changluo is now planning to deal with Li Tingji, but after all, he is still the head of the imperial party, as long as he has a little political wisdom, he should understand that it is nothing to make some small moves in private, but he is also a member of the imperial party, if he dares to blatantly block Han Yi's promotion, it will be despised by Shilin.

At that time, even if he doesn't need Zhu Changluo to make a move, Shilin's public opinion can force him to be embarrassed, of course, it is not certain that he is willing to do his best.

This can be regarded as the last chance given to him by Zhu Changluo in the past, if he still doesn't know what to do after being warned heavily, Zhu Changluo will have to be ruthless.

Of course, based on Li Tingji's bad record, Zhu Changluo would not put the treasure on him, so in the end, Han Yi's errand still fell on Wang Xijue.

Lao Shoufu is full of words in the cabinet, as long as he supports Han Yi, he is five points sure that he can succeed.

However, what Zhu Changluo knows is that Lao Shoufu is a principled person, especially extremely cautious in major national affairs, although he has protégés, he rarely violates the rules to promote them, even if he does it occasionally, it is because this person has real talent and learning.

So all Zhu Changluo can do is to pull a line, whether he can win this errand or not, in the end, it depends on Han Yi himself!

If he can't show enough strength, even if there is a hint from the emperor, Lao Shoufu probably won't help.

After all, when he reached the position of the first assistant, he had the right to communicate with the emperor on an equal footing to a certain extent, and Zhu Changluo was not good at forcing Wang Xijue for Han Yi alone.

Of course, since Zhu Changluo called someone over, he is naturally confident, he knows Han Yi's talent and learning ability, and when he was in the East Palace before, he also talked to him several times about the tax reform, Han Yi's conversation and ideas are quite appreciated by Zhu Changluo, otherwise, he would not rest assured that Han Yi will take over this errand.

What's more, with his face, even if Han Yi occasionally makes mistakes, as long as there is nothing wrong in the big aspects, Lao Shoufu will turn a blind eye and help out.

That's why Zhu Changluo had this behavior, in order to give Han Yi a chance to state what he thought.

However, he didn't notice that after he won this opportunity for Han Yi, Wang Xijue's face was inexplicably with a smile like watching a play.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks, Suzhou is a tax heavy, but want to reform, but can not be anxious, the core of a whip law is to bring together the tax system, standardize the tax law, miscellaneous taxes in one, to the silver two taxes, in this law, to the silver two tax is relatively simple, but it must be combined with the people's feelings, the peasants of their generation, all day long, there may not be a silver two tax, if the grain is exchanged for silver two, it is inevitable that it will be squeezed by the grain merchants, so in the opinion of the minister, the silver tax can be combined with the local regular position, to buy peasant grain at a high price, Then the silver will be handed over to the local yamen to offset the tax by the standing position! ”

Han Yi has been observing etiquette since he entered the hall, and it was not until Zhu Changluo opened his mouth to ask a question that he said slowly.

"But have you ever considered where the silver taels that are often closed come from, if the grain is collected at a high price, and then delivered to the yamen at a flat price in silver, won't the difference in price fall to the imperial court, so that it will only reduce the imperial court's taxes, and it will not run counter to Your Majesty's wishes?"

Wang Xijue's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked.

But when it comes to such matters related to national affairs, the old man has become extremely strict.

You know, what Han Yi said is indeed the truth, the advantage of a whip law lies in the country, not in the people at the bottom, for the country, you can quickly accumulate silver taels, but even in a prosperous place like Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou, not every family has silver taels, and the people at the bottom in many places still maintain the custom of bartering.

The reason why the dynasty has been collecting grain is also based on this, compared with silver taels, for the people at the bottom, it is not as convenient as paying grain directly.

The method that Han Yi said can indeed solve this point, and the Changping position comes forward to purchase grain, and then the Changping position loses the silver to the local yamen as tax silver, so that for the people at the bottom, it is just a place to pay taxes from the yamen to the Chang Ping.

But this is indeed convenient for the people, but it is harmful to the imperial court, because the silver taels that are often closed still have to be allocated from the imperial court, so between the hands, it is just a left hand for a right hand.

Even according to the usual practice, the price of grain purchased by Changping is higher than the market price, so if this is really done, the total amount of taxes collected by the imperial court will only increase instead of increasing......

"Yuanfu is not in a hurry, after listening to Xiaguan, what Xiaguan said about Changping to collect grain is only for the people who can't afford to pay the silver taels, and for the local gentry and big households, Changping will not only not buy them at a high price, but will lower the price!"

Han Yi owed his body, but explained.
