Zhao Mengqi had great respect for Jiang Wanli, and deliberately changed his clothes before going to meet him.

The two compartments salute and sit down.

Only then was Zhao Mengqi able to take a closer look at Jiang Wanli's appearance.

Jiang Wanli is three years younger than Wu Qian, at this time he is eight out of fifty, his beard is gray, his eyebrows are thick and square, his eyes are elegant and peaceful, his sitting posture is square and straight, and he is full of energy.

For people in the officialdom, forty or fifty years old is the prime of life, and it is time to make great achievements and realize his ideals and ambitions, but he was jealous and framed by villains because of his upright temperament and uprightness, so he wasted nearly ten years.

If the average person encounters such a blow, he will either be depressed and depressed, or he will be full of resentment and perverseness.

But in Jiang Wanli, Zhao Mengqi felt as mellow and calm as old wine.

"The minister originally thought that this comeback was because of Lu Dexing's righteous defense and recommendation, but after seeing him, I knew that it was His Royal Highness's kindness, and I sincerely thank you here."

Jiang Wanli stood up and waved his hands and bowed, but his face was very calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

"There is no need to be polite, and there is no need to be grateful, serving the emperor is a virtuous and capable man with both virtue and ability, and it is the fault of the court to abandon it, I am just correcting it slightly, not talking about kindness." Zhao Mengqi waved his hand, not taking credit, "Besides, many people may be officials for the sake of glory and wealth, but I know that serving the emperor is not like this, but worrying about the country and serving the people, and doing things honestly, in fact, it should be me on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty to thank the servants for their hard work."

"Your Highness has won the award, and the ministers dare not be ashamed." Jiang Wanli slowly sat back and asked directly about the matter, "I don't know what His Highness is doing when he summoned so many students to come, the minister is stupid, and I ask Your Highness to make it clear."

In his opinion, the task of the students is to study, but when the autumn season comes, they are transferred to other places, which is really a bit unprofessional.

He himself was also born as a Tai student, and he was selected to become the first with excellent grades, and he had a special affection for Tai students, and he thought that it was for this reason that the imperial court asked him to lead these Tai students.

If Zhao Mengqi can't say any legitimate reason, he will appeal to the imperial court and let the students go back to Taixue.

Since Jiang Wanli asked so directly, Zhao Mengqi also got straight to the point, "Now the imperial court's finances are becoming more and more difficult, in addition to more and more military expenditures, the depletion of tax sources is the main reason, the imperial court can't collect taxes, but the burden on the common people is getting heavier and heavier, so where is the tax lost?"

This question was a little unexpected by Jiang Wanli, but he didn't think much about it, and said bluntly, "It's nothing more than Haoqiang hiding his property and passing on the taxes to the people."

"That's right, Yintian has always been a stubborn disease of the national dynasty, so I plan to re-clear the Zhang meridian in Pingjiang Mansion, and I also intend to let you preside over this matter, I don't know if you dare to take on this heavy responsibility?"

Zhao Mengqi's eyes were like torches, and he looked at Jiang Wanli with a serious expression.

Originally, whether in terms of prestige or official position, it was more appropriate for Wu Qian to preside over the Jingjie, but after Zhao Mengqi considered it, he decided to let him concentrate on water conservancy, and then choose another person to preside over the Jingjie.

Although the time of clearing the field will inevitably disturb the people and affect production, but after the completion of the clearance, the property rights are clear, which can effectively avoid disputes, and the field tax is even, and only need to bear reasonable and legal taxes.

However, of course, it is not good for the families of the situation where the land is abundant, and in order to protect their own illegal interests, they will try by all means to oppose and obstruct the implementation of the law of the meridians.

On the one hand, they will use their influence to spread rumors among the people to distort the essence of the economic circles, and they will also use the forces of the DPRK and China, or directly go to Lin'an to complain about injustice, creating public opinion unfavorable to the economic circles.

On the other hand, they will collude with the officials who enforce the economic boundaries to become female cadres, falsely report the number of acres of land and lower the quality of the land, and these hidden taxes will inevitably be transferred to the heads of the middle and lower households, which will increase the burden on the people.

The policy implemented by the normal imperial court must have been carefully considered, and it must be beneficial to the country and the people before it can be promulgated.

It is obviously a good policy, but in the hands of some crooked-mouthed monks, it has changed, and it has become a great harm to the country and the people.

Hence this

The person who presides over the implementation is very important, and he must have good character, strong ability, and the courage to confront the powerful and powerful.

After thinking about it, Zhao Mengqi chose Jiang Wanli.

"Let the ministers preside?" Jiang Wanli was stunned, "With the seniority of the minister, I'm afraid I can't suppress those prominent families."

In the era when the general yield per mu was only one stone and less than two stones, the production capacity per mu in the Taihu Lake basin reached more than three stones, so it naturally became the richest area in the Great Song Dynasty.

The atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty was that everything was inferior, only the reading was high, and these wealthy places concentrated the best quality educational resources, and there were more people who were able to enter the imperial examination, accounting for a considerable proportion of the court officials.

In addition, many dignitaries and dignitaries also bought land in these high-yield places, and once these people united and broke out in opposition, I am afraid that the emperor would have to think twice.

"Don't worry, I mean, nominally I am the commander-in-chief, you are responsible for the specific implementation, and I will carry the pressure, and I promise you that as long as I don't fall, they will never be able to move you!"

Jiang Wanli heard the murderous aura in King Yan's decisive words, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, "Your Highness has made up your mind, and you will never back down?"

"Unless I die, I will not move forward!" Zhao Mengqi swore an oath.

"In this way, the minister takes over this position, and is willing to issue a military order!"

Jiang Wanli is a person who dares to do things, he also supports the Jingjie Law in his heart, he is not afraid of offending people, all he is worried about is some pressure that he can't resist, since King Yan is willing to protect his life, he naturally does not hesitate.

Zhao Mengqi knew that he would not be wrong, "This matter, for the time being, will be kept secret, tomorrow I will send troops, seal the tax books of the states and counties of Pingjiang Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture, and select 1,000 people from the Dongwei to form a Qingzhang working group mixed with the Tai students, and in addition, I will draw troops from various armies to set up a law enforcement team of 5,000 people......

The picture is a fish scale map, large to the mountains and rivers, small to the house of the people, all kinds of details are described, the book is the anvil base book, set up according to the household, one by one to indicate the field shape of the field, the mu step four to, and the reason for the production, the two together are the property rights certificate, but also the basis for paying taxes.

Seal it first to prevent someone from tampering with it after getting the news, and use this as a clue to implement the Qingzhang meridian can be targeted.

Seeing that King Yan was so thoughtful and resolute, Jiang Wanli's confidence became more and more sufficient.
