How could Jiang Chen let them get their wish, and immediately shook his head and said, "If everyone says and does this, then when and when will the official family's policy of enriching the people and strengthening the country be implemented?

If you want to blame it, blame you for not knowing how to use people!

In order to rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible, this matter is absolutely non-negotiable!"

After a pause, Jiang Chen added, "The official family has already made a holy decree! Anyone who is found to have violated the Yin and Yang violations, no matter what their status, will be dismissed from the membership of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and Yan Shenggong is no exception! Do you want the officials to rebel?"

"You ......"

Kong Duanyou, Meng Kui, and Wang Xiaodi glared at Jiang Chen angrily.

They didn't expect Jiang Chen to dare to do such a desperate thing to them!

The rest of the officials were worried for a while, secretly thinking about whether they had offended Jiang Chen before and whether they would be expelled from membership, and at the same time, they also had a certain amount of dissatisfaction with Jiang Chen's move.

Seeing this, Lu Yihao said good things for Jiang Chen, "Everyone, have you counted the income you have gained since becoming a member of the Royal Chamber of Commerce? I don't know how the income compares to the fields and stores? Which is higher and which is lower?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

The civil and military officials were stunned for a moment, and then they understood what Lu Yihao meant.

Zhu Yinian was the first to smile and cooperate: "The other family officials don't know, but my Zhu family has made more money by selling soap, wine and other things from the Royal Chamber of Commerce in the past few months than the total income of previous years.

The salary increase for the people is just a drop in the bucket, and it is not worth mentioning at all in terms of income, and the official really doesn't understand why some people have to be so careful, just can't see the people have enough food and clothing?

Isn't this a big loss because of a small thing?"

While speaking, Zhu Yinian glanced at Kong Duanyou and the others mockingly, now that he has joined the Li Sect, he will no longer care about what Yan Shenggong is, there is no such concept in the Li Sect.

"Not bad! Lord Zhu is right!"

"What a gentleman sees!!"

"The official family can rest assured, after the ministers return to this matter, they will strictly enforce it, and if they find anyone who dares to deduct the people's salary, they will be dealt with strictly!"

Gao Yu and Zheng Juzhong immediately echoed their words, and even Cai You and Wang Hao were no exception.

directly made a guarantee to Song Huizong, said beautiful words, and planned to make amends before being found.

Zhu Yinian's two younger sisters are about to get engaged to the crown prince and King Yun, no matter how the court situation changes, the Zhu family will definitely soar and be as stable as Mount Tai, so everyone wants to show goodwill with Zhu Yinian and climb the relationship.

Kong Duanyou said angrily: "If the people are given such a high salary, and they have saved enough money, they all go to buy land and cultivate it for themselves, and they do not want to become tenants anymore, and they do not want to give us any more farmland, will it not cause the land to be barren, the grain harvest will be poor, and they will starve for thousands of miles?"

"Not bad! Yan Shenggong is right!"

"The people don't have to worry about food and clothing, who will be willing to work for us scholars?"

"At that time, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to add a few gorgeous maids, right?"

Meng Kui, Wang Xiaodi and others immediately echoed their words.

This?

"Seems to make some sense!"

Many Confucian officials nodded thoughtfully.

Li Gang, Mei Zhili and Chen Cisheng frowned and wanted to refute, but after looking at Kong Duanyou, the leader of the Confucian Sect, they had no choice but to hold back.

But Zhu Yinian couldn't bear it, he had discussed this issue with Jiang Chen, and he couldn't wait to show off in front of Song Huizong.

So, he shook his head directly and laughed, "Master Kong's words are wrong! If everyone in the world can buy land, then the grain production of my Great Song Dynasty will not only not decrease, but will increase!

Besides, if you only need to raise the wages of the people and keep the tenant farmers fed and clothed, why should you worry that the fields will be barren? What is the reason why you want the horses to run and not be willing to give them grass?"

"Huh? What did you say? Now that everyone can afford to buy land, will food production increase?

Hum! It's nonsense!"

Kong Duanyou shook his head with a funny expression.

"A man who is full of resentment and cultivates for those who exploit them, and the other who takes care of the production of rations for his own family, is a matter of life and death.

Why can't Master Kong even understand this basic truth?"

Zhu Yinian directly ridiculed him.

"Not bad! Lord Zhu's words are very reasonable!"

"This situation has already been discovered by the official!"

Chen Cisheng, Li Gang, Mei Zhili and other officials who were already opposed to land annexation nodded in agreement.

"What does it mean to make sense? This is clearly a remark to the heart!"

Kong Duanyou, Meng Kui and Wang Xiaodi shouted angrily.

Seeing that the fire was coming, Cai Jing took the opportunity to salute Song Huizong and said, "Official, in fact, Yan Shenggong's worries are not unreasonable......

Kindness?

Cai Jing: What does this mean?

Are you finally going to support my Confucianism?

Kong Duanyou looked over with a look of surprise.

The courtiers were stunned.

Immediately, Cai Jing continued: "In order to prevent the situation of barren land caused by what Yan Shenggong said, Lao Chen thinks that the acres of land in the world should be re-measured!"

"What do you mean? I'm worried that you're going to be asked to re-measure the acres?"

Kong Duanyou's old face froze instantly.

Officials are also nervous, for thousands of years they have passed on taxes to the people by falsely reporting the acres of land, and what they hate the most is the policy of apportioning the acres into the acres.

Cai Xiang said with a smile: "Of course, you don't have to measure every household, you just need to measure the total acres of land in each state capital and the private land of the people!"

Before sowing every year, let the state governments report the number of acres of land cultivated, and if there is no land to cultivate, the court will rent and buy it for the people to cultivate, so that nothing goes wrong!"

After a pause, Cai Jing continued: "In the future, the people's land taxes will be collected and counted separately, and the rest of the land taxes will be supervised by the local state government, and once the accounts are wrong, the state officials will be directly held accountable......

When the civil and military officials heard this, their faces immediately turned green!

Kong Duanyou, the largest landowner in the Northern Song Dynasty, was even more anxious: "Separate the land tax of our people? Doesn't this mean that it is a matter of apportionment? Has Cai Xiang forgotten the harm of spreading the land into the mu?"

"The harm of apportionment into the mu is that some people pass on the tax to the people, which causes civil unrest. Now the new law is a law to protect the people, so why is it harmful?" Cai Jing sneered.

"What Cai Xiang said is reasonable!"

"Minister Li Bangyan is willing to take the initiative to implore Dasi Nong to re-measure the acres of my Li family's fields and pay taxes according to the amount!"

"The minister is also willing!"

"All the ministers wish!"

Cai Jing's minions came out one after another to compete for performance, because they all knew that Cai Jing and Jiang Chen had reached an agreement, and as long as they supported this matter, they would not find fault and kick them out of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

When the rest of the officials saw this, they also knew that today was just a scene arranged by Song Huizong and Cai Jing, Jiang Chen and others, if they didn't support it, then they wouldn't have to think about it, they would definitely be kicked out of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

Compared with the huge income of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, what is the small amount of tax that is less?

After weighing the pros and cons, officials also hurriedly stood up and expressed their positions.
