As far as the county orders, prefects, and patrols in various parts of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces are concerned, they really don't want to see this military and political reform carried out like this, and take away the rights in their hands.

However, their officials and subordinates were looking forward to the immediate implementation of the military and political reforms.

Because, after the completion of the military and political reform, the power in their hands will increase, and from now on, they no longer need to look at the county order, or even the eyes of the prefect, and do things with trepidation......

Therefore, no matter how much those county orders and prefects oppose the military and political reform, they will not have the slightest effect. Because, none of the officials under his command supported him for the rights that he might gain after the military and political reform......

Without the support of grassroots officials, the county commanders and prefects who were born as scholars will not be able to cause any turmoil, even if they are capable.

In this way, in less than half a month, all the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the Shanxi Governor's Office completed their political reform, and the five standing committees jointly managed the important military and political affairs within the prefectures and counties.

Faced with this result, Wei Zheng, Zhou Shuyuan and others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Chongzhen and the imperial court, who were ready to see a joke, were shocked. They didn't expect that the Haw Par Army, as an opponent, would once again accomplish something that was impossible in everyone's eyes.

More importantly, the success of a series of reforms in the two provinces of the Tiger and Leopard Army and Shanxi Province was like a stimulant, which entered the body of Emperor Chongzhen, so that Emperor Chongzhen was full of confidence in the various reforms that the entire Ming Dynasty was about to implement.

In Chongzhen's eyes, whether it is to increase the military strength of the imperial court or to solve a series of problems that the imperial court is currently facing, the key is silver...... There was silver. The same firearms unit as the Haw Par Army will have. The question of the imperial court. It will also be resolved.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's understanding of the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, he wanted to make the imperial court have silver available in a short period of time. The simplest and most direct way is for the gentry to pay for the grain in one piece...... Whether it is an ordinary Ming people, or an official gentry and landlord, they all pay grain taxes as required.

Although Emperor Chongzhen did not know how much land the gentry and landlords had in the hands of the entire Ming Dynasty. However, the reform of the gentry in one body. Let the imperial court more than double the annual grain tax, Chongzhen is still very confident.

In the court, in the face of the first reform proposed by Emperor Chongzhen, the courtiers seemed to have discussed it, and at the same time closed their mouths and fell into deep thought.

Because, in the huge court, including Emperor Chongzhen, everyone was an official gentry and landlord in the Ming Dynasty who held a large amount of land.

Under such circumstances, as long as the reform of "officials and gentry pay grain in one" proposed by Chongzhen is truly implemented. That means that they have to pay food to the court just like ordinary people.

That's the case. The income of his own family will undoubtedly be a lot less.

How could these ministers, who usually regard their own interests as more important than the safety of the imperial court, watch what has been put into their pockets be taken out by the imperial court?

Therefore, the huge hall, directly under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen's slightly disappointed eyes, became more and more dignified.

At this time, Wang Zhongying, the powerful cabinet minister who had seen the Haw Par Army with his own eyes, had to stand up and say.

"Your Majesty, Lao Chen has a word to say here......"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was anxious to break the solemn situation of the court, replied without thinking: "I am ...... to play"

"Xie Majesty xià ......"

As soon as Wang Zhongying finished speaking, the eyes of the courtiers converged on Wang Zhongying.

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Zhongying said in a sincere tone: "Colleagues, you are all loyal to my Ming Dynasty, and the future of the Ming Dynasty is on you." It can be said that everyone's future has been completely tied to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty...... Damingxing, the future of your colleagues will be bright. The decline of the Ming Dynasty, your future will also decline......"

"This official knows that once the reform of the integrated payment of grain by the officials and gentry is implemented, all the colleagues who own a large amount of land will suffer some losses, more or less. However, what I want to say is that these losses and your future. Compared with the future of the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing at all? As long as the Ming Dynasty can survive this current difficulty and continue to prosper and become rich and strong, are you still worried that you will not be able to make up for the losses caused to you by the payment of grain? ”

"In addition, all of you colleagues are the pillars of my Ming Dynasty. Everybody across the country is looking at us. If even we can't set an example and support His Majesty's reforms. Will the gentry and landlords of the entire Ming Dynasty still support His Majesty and the imperial court? Therefore, I hope that all colleagues will consider it carefully......"

"Today's Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces and the Tiger and Leopard Army have developed to the point where everyone is shocked. If the imperial court does not catch up immediately, the imperial court will be thrown farther and farther away by the tiger and leopard army, and it will no longer be able to catch up with ......."

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhongying knelt directly on the main hall and said to Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair with a complicated expression......

"His Majesty, Wang Zhongying, Minister of the Cabinet, supported His Majesty to carry out the reform of the integration of the official gentry and the gentry. After the court meeting ended, the old minister immediately counted the number of acres in his home. In proportion, the grain tax was paid to the imperial court......"

"Good...... Wang Aiqing is worthy of being the minister of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty...... Very good, very good......" Emperor Chongzhen, who finally showed a smile on his face, did not hesitate to praise Wang Zhongying who helped him break the game.

Then, directly staring at a pair of clever eyes, on the other courtiers, they had to constantly wander, waiting for everyone's reaction.

In the face of Wang Zhongying's outspoken analysis, and in the face of Emperor Chongzhen's gaze at him, the faces of many courtiers directly turned red.

Under the leadership of Wang Zhongying, a second minister immediately knelt on the ground and replied loudly to Emperor Chongzhen on the dragon chair: "The minister seconded the proposal, supported His Majesty's reform, and implemented the gentry in the entire Ming Dynasty to pay grain ......"

With the lead, the remaining courtiers, as if they had been discussed, knelt on the ground one after another, supporting Emperor Chongzhen to reform the entire Ming Dynasty......

Emperor Chongzhen, who instantly had a satisfied smile on his face, immediately ordered after getting the result he wanted.

"In that case, the matter is settled......"

"I have decided to immediately inform the world that starting from today's autumn grain harvest, the executive officials and gentry will collect taxes by paying grain in one ......"

"Your Majesty is wise...... Facing Emperor Chongzhen with a high-spirited face on the dragon chair, all the courtiers knelt on the ground at the same time and shouted loudly, as if Wei Zheng was wise. (To be continued......)
