The Jiangdu Assassin Mansion has been preparing for a long time to summon the state Assassin Shi to come to the meeting, and the matters should be revised by Yao Ran, Luo Guanlin, Wang Yue, Wang Changshi, and the first seven halls, and there is a set of very mature and detailed regulations.

At the suggestion of Chang Suining, Yao Ran first came forward to speak.

Yao Ran first mentioned some changes in the policy of land and taxation and servitude, and then there are the policies for attracting talents, the resettlement of displaced people, and the conditions for the distribution of books in each state.

When Shen Wenshuang heard about the change in taxation and forced labor, he had already begun to sweat on his forehead.

It is true that each province has the right to distribute taxes and population servitude under the rule, and the income tax collected by each province can be used by the festival to give priority to the needs of the rule, and even in recent years, because the authority of the emperor and the court is no longer what it used to be, many of the festival envoys simply no longer pay taxes to the court. Although it is not so straightforward as to refuse to hand it over, there are always many rhetorical means to avoid the control and inquiry of the imperial court.

This is also one of the dependencies and manifestations of the increasing weight of each section.

This made the already empty treasury of the imperial court more and more unsustainable, and gradually lost control of these officials, and the situation fell into a vicious circle.

All in all, today's Jiedu envoys have more power to "act cheaply" than in the past-

But even so, Shen Wenshuang still felt that the current cheap action was a little too cheap......

Although it does not seem to completely overthrow the old system, it is only a basic change, but it feels like he has pulled the rope to the maximum extent within the elastic range of a straw rope, and even if a fly passes by and fans it, the rope will immediately break.

The land system and taxation policy are related to the fundamental ...... of a country In case of being impeached by those whose interests have been touched, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape from the charge of "wanting to disturb the foundation of the country".

That is, now that the world is in turmoil, if it is changed to the past......

Shen Wenshuang quietly wiped his sweat, if it was the past, it would not be possible to produce a female envoy.

Immediately afterwards, he listened to the history of the Ran woman, and wanted to push the Jiangdu woman's work regulations to the entire Huainan Province.

When Shen Wenshuang heard this, he already had some admiration, if nothing else, but he felt that these young people were really bold and energetic, and they could clearly foresee the resistance that these new policies would encounter, but they still dared to think and dare to do it.

But after thinking about it, I can make up such a determination, perhaps because Jiangdu under the new policy has indeed made a good example.

And Shen Wenshuang could feel that as the range of matters mentioned by that Ran Nushi became wider and wider, everyone's attitudes gradually began to appear significantly different.

Let's talk about the staunch supporters first, the most conspicuous of which are four people-

The first is Shen Zhou's assassination of Shi Dingsu, the reason why he supports the promotion of the new policy is very simple, and the slogan in his heart is: If you want to do it, you will do it to the extreme.

Besides, in this battle on the banks of the Han River, he also has a slight status in front of the envoys of the Chang Festival, compared with these people, he has some foundation, if he doesn't keep it, won't he lose?

The second is to stab Shi Yunhui with the state, his ideas are very straightforward, he has witnessed the many changes brought about by the new policy, knows that this is a good knife, and can't wait to accept it.

The third is the Gwangju assassin Shao Shantong - he is not sure whether this is a good knife or a bad knife, he only knows that Chang Jiezhi can lead him to rebel. Isn't it a matter of rebellion to work together from top to bottom, pointing to where to fight?

And the fourth is Shen Wenshuang himself...... has a weak heart, and sits on the cushion given by others, although he does not have enough means, but he knows how to read other people's means - when he is old, he will be an ornament puppet in the future, which is better than anything else.

The above four people are supporters.

Shuzhou Assassin Shi was the only one who remained neutral, and he was the first to be secretly rebelled by Qian Shi, because he was really moved by Qian Shi's words, and saw clearly that it was not appropriate to continue the stalemate with Chang Suining. But he was not humble in the process of rebellion, and in his opinion, he was the one who was persuaded, so he was able to retain some personal gestures.

His neutral performance at the moment is nothing more than brushing his beard, making some ambiguous exclamations, and not saying anything in detail, with a reserved and confidential attitude, which makes it easy for people to guess.

The remaining five people were gradually unable to pretend, and the look of deference and obedience on their faces gradually became wavering, and they stopped talking.

Many people are reluctant to make too many changes, especially the beneficiaries of the old system.

In the face of the imperial court's appointment of Chang Suining as the new envoy of the festival, these people may be dissatisfied with the center, but they are not as obvious as Shenzhou and Huangzhou before. Instead, they chose to accept it for the time being, in large part because they didn't want to take risks and change the status quo that was still safe.

Change means troubles and challenges, but it also represents risks and changes.

At the same time, or because they have always been quite cooperative, they do not have too much weakness in the face of Chang Suining, and even if they are afraid, they have not reached the level where they can completely cover their personal desires.

If it weren't for Chang Sui Ning Gang killing Cao Hongxuan and Sheng Baoming, they might even leave halfway.

The human heart is multifaceted, and it is also easy to be dominated by desires instantly, among these five people, Qizhou, Luzhou and Chuzhou Assassin Shi began to try to refute and question euphemistically, but in the face of their questions, Yao Ran and Wang Yue could respond fluently, and then smoothly refute them, leaving them speechless.

The men fell silent, but their faces were still not very enthusiastic.

They continued to think in silence, and they were also watching and testing Chang Suining's attitude and bottom line.

But Chang Suining didn't make a clear statement, just looked at the dripping and said with a smile: "After talking for a long time, it's time for lunch." ”

The silent state stab: "? ”

That's it? Is she going to expose it in such a vague way?

Wang Changshi quickly asked people to remove the chair and put a short-legged food table in the hall, five on the left and right, each person sat alone, and Chang Sui Ning sat at the top of the hall.

After the officials had cleaned their hands, they took their seats.

As the maid entered the room to deliver the food, the officials soon noticed something unusual.

They first found that the meals in front of them were the ones that best suited their preferences, and then they looked left and right, only to find that the meals on everyone's desk were different.

At this time, Chang Suining's kind and smiling voice came from the head: "You have come from afar, and you are afraid that you will not be used to eating Jiangdu food, so Changshi ordered the mansion to prepare your favorite food in advance." ”

"Wang Changshi is really bothered." Yun Hui, who was sitting upright, raised the wine cup and smiled and saluted Chang Suining: "Thank you so much for your hospitality!" ”

Chang Suining picked up the wine cup with the tea in front of him.

The others came back to their senses, and they also picked up the wine cups, along with the smiling faces, but this smile was a little real, only they knew it.

If only these meals were based on the common flavors of their rule or place of origin...... But it's not just that, there are a lot of intimate preferences involved.

Qizhou Thorn Shi likes to eat eggs and garlic, but because it is easy to leave a smell in his mouth after eating, he does not eat it often, but at this moment he has a plate in front of him.

Chuzhou Thorn Shi Banrun, who attracted strange glances from left and right, had a more complicated mood - so...... He likes to eat bed bug burritos and cook earthworms, but he can't hide it?!

The former Chuzhou assassin Shi Weijun rebelled and was condemned by Chang Kuo's father and daughter, and he only came to Chuzhou at the end of the year before last to take office...... How did you get to the bottom of it?

Where is this just an appetizing meal? This is clearly telling them that everything about them is under the control of the man above.

This is really moving, but also unmoving.

It's not that I haven't eaten the Hongmen banquet, but this meal is particularly impressive.

There are also people who don't think that this is a Hongmen banquet at all, such as Yunhui, and then Shao Shantong who has just expressed his firm position, when they are determined to be loyal, then this table of food, there is only pure love from the envoy.

As the so-called honey of mine and arsenic of the other, there is nothing more than this.

After this lunch, the faces of the Luzhou Thorn Shi were slightly softened, and when they talked about things further, they seemed to be better talking, and there was a hint of humility all over their bodies.

In the afternoon, Wang Changshi came forward and talked about the military affairs of various states.

According to the quota, the number of troops in the states of Huainan Province is mostly between 13,000 and 15,000, but in the past few years, chaos has been rampant, and before that, there were many slackness in military affairs in various places, such as Qizhou, which is now less than 8,000 available troops, and other states also have varying shortages.

Chang Sui Ning made it clear that let them recruit enough troops one after another, and they could recruit from the people and the homeless, mainly based on their personal wishes.

When it comes to this, a mouthful of garlic-flavored Qizhou thorns has a difficult face.

It's not that he wants to refute it again, in this world, it is always a good thing to recruit soldiers to protect themselves, and within the quota, it is not the turn of others to criticize, but ...... He's poor.

Why did he never think of starting an incident with others, he also needed capital to start an incident, his treasury was empty, what could he use to recruit troops and buy people's hearts?

Just these more than 7,000 people, it is hard to raise.

In the end, the history of Qizhou Assassin was ashamed and said: "The envoy also knows that it is really difficult for the imperial court to allocate local military salaries now...... The subordinate officials are incompetent, and there is really no extra money and food to recruit soldiers. ”

Chang Sui Ning seemed to have just thought of it, and nodded: "Yes, on the way back to the city, I have already looked at the tax and expenditure accounts of Qizhou over the years, and it is indeed quite empty." ”

Immediately, the conversation changed and he smiled: "But it doesn't hurt-"

Just when the Qizhou Assassin thought that she was willing to fund the recruitment of troops for Qizhou, she saw her looking at the Luzhou Assassin with a smile: "It's better to borrow a little from Luzhou first, as the capital for recruitment, and then the Qizhou Treasury will be full, and then it's not too late to return." ”

The hall was silent for a moment, and countless pairs of eyes looked at the history of the Luzhou Thorn.

Luzhou Thorn Shi's expression was stagnant.

Qizhou Thorn Shi's eyes were a little puzzled, no, Luzhou Thorn Shi has talked with him privately in the past few days, meaning to watch and support each other, and he clearly complained to him, saying that the Luzhou Treasury is also empty...... Why did the envoy let him borrow from Luzhou? And just "a little borrowing" can be used as recruiting funds?

After Luzhou Thorn Shi's face turned pale for a while, he squeezed out a smile: "Yes, what the envoy said is extremely true...... I'm the same in Huainan Road, and I should have supported each other! ”

As he spoke, he smiled at Qizhou and promised to help.

Qizhou Thorn History's smile is a little complicated, I understand, Luzhou Thorn History is fake poor, but he is real!

Luzhou Thorn Shi was smiling, but a layer of cold sweat had broken out on his back, and the accounts he handed over were indeed empty, the reason was naturally very simple, Jiedu had the right to dispatch the finances of various states, and he had his own selfishness.

But...... His fake accounts are clearly very realistic, how can they be seen?

As everyone knows, the accounts he handed over were first reviewed in the first seven halls, carefully checked and calculated by no less than 100 people, plus the clues given by some officials under his rule in private...... With such a meticulous investigation, it is destined to be seamless.

But Chang Suining did not poke him, but used this way to ask him to lend money to Qizhou to recruit soldiers...... Such a method is even more heart-wrenching than positive accountability.

It can be seen that this woman is by no means a person who only knows how to kill blindly, and the scheming city revealed by her person is difficult not to be afraid of.

When the Luzhou Assassin was secretly frightened, the Shouzhou Assassin Shi, who was also frightened, suddenly opened his mouth with a righteous face, saying that he was also willing to help Qizhou recruit troops - that's right, his accounts are also fake!

Suddenly became the target of the Qizhou assassination: "......"

So none of these people's mouths can be trusted!

It's a shame that he still thinks he can form a party or something in private, so he will follow them to refute those new policies...... But now he suddenly realized that people don't support the new deal because they can make money under the old system!

Only he was poor and stupid, and he was almost used as a knife by these people.

Qizhou Thorn Shi thanked him again and again, and he was crazy about holding grudges in his heart.

Shen Wenshuang looked at it in his eyes and sighed in his heart, the new Jiedu envoy was not only bold, but also made a good plan to kill two birds with one hand...... By recruiting soldiers, it not only beat and deterred those who made false accounts, but also divided a group of these people who tried to fight against the New Deal.

Looking at the subordinates who "help each other", Chang Suining smiled with relief: "With you here, Huainan Dao will be able to prosper in harmony." ”

The officials in different moods smiled and echoed yes.

Immediately afterwards, Chang Suining mentioned that in the future, each state would need to send 2,000 soldiers to Jiangdu every month to take turns and receive training with the Jiangdu army.

In her words, this is to help the states train strong troops and strengthen their defensive combat capabilities.

This is not a lie, it is indeed a concern, but everyone understands the other purpose, which is clearly to strengthen their military control.

But they couldn't find an excuse to refuse, and they didn't have the courage to refuse at this moment.

It was still Yunhui and Shao Shantong in Gwangju who were the first to echo the order, but this time, Yunhui didn't even rob Shao Shantong, and Shao Shantong was excited in his heart - hearing this, he finally had a little bit of rebellion!

After a further discussion on this matter, a small official brought tea, and when everyone was resting for a while, Ah Che hurried back from outside, entered the hall to salute, and brought good news.

The new ship built by the shipyard has been tested for more than half a month, and now it has successfully returned to the shore, and it can go to sea to explore the route for the city ship company in two days.

Ah Che, who has been busy with this matter recently, was excited: "Steward Shen asked the villain to ask the girl if she wants to give this ship a name!" ”

Chang Suining nodded with a smile and looked at everyone: "Do you have a good proposal?" (End of chapter)
