There was silence in the hall, and only the sound of Jia Rong's flipping book could be heard.

Emperor Longtai observed Jia Rong's face, and as the pages of the book turned without the slightest change, Emperor Longtai felt a little more appreciative in his heart.

But at this time, Jia Rong's heart was turbulent, and the books were full of major events to revise and enslave.

Clear the land and collect taxes in equal parts; Enslavement and unity, eliminate harshness; The cash is collected, and the official is closed.

Based on the memories in his mind and the large number of historical materials he read in his previous life.

If such a new law is implemented, it can be seen that the national treasury will gradually be filled, but the interests of too many people will be moved, and the protection of the unfavorable country will become more turbulent.

Qingzhang land, the imperial court can control the land in the world, find out the concealment, hide the land to expand the tax, but this time the official eunuch family, the local gentry who own a lot of land will be charged taxes will be multiplied, which will definitely cause the court to protest.

Eliminate the harshness and subtract the miscellaneous taxes of the people, and the evils will be cleared, but the corrupt officials and officials will not be able to collect benefits from the complicated and diverse taxes, and they will definitely be slack in the implementation and create obstacles.

The collection of cash silver eliminates the need for storage and transportation of physical goods, and is convenient for collection and warehousing.

However, based on Jia Rong's experience, it is foreseeable that there will be unscrupulous businessmen who will sniff out the dividends and collect the people in kind at a lower price, and the farmers who used to offset taxes in kind in the old days will have to sell them in exchange for cash to pay taxes, which will be detrimental to the people this time.

Generally speaking, Emperor Longtai has such a bold reform of the old and the new, and this new law is not an unfeasible policy, not to mention that now is the time when Jia Rong can raise objections?

Jia Rong calmed down and closed the book.

Emperor Longtai saw that he had read it seriously from beginning to end, and was extremely satisfied with Jia Rong's attitude, and asked:

"Jia Rong, what do you think?"

Jia Rong bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this new policy is a good policy for the benefit of the country and the people. It is worthy of being the policy of governing the country by Ren Shoufu. It is indeed a blessing for the country. ”

Jia Rong's answer made Emperor Longtai more satisfied, but he had come to learn about Jia Rong's past recently, and knew that he was not as capable as he saw in front of him, so he forced him to ask:

"What if I want you to give me some advice?"

Jia Rong knew that she would not be able to hide, so she said shallowly:

"Forgive the boy for taking the liberty of the boy, there is a saying in the Tao Te Ching, 'Governing a big country, if you cook a small fresh', this tax reform method should be slowly planned, not together."

Although Jia Rong's words are reasonable, they all know how to say it and not say it, which is in line with the stereotype that Jia Rong wants to leave on Emperor Longtai now.

Emperor Longtai listened to the head of his head and said: "As you said, you must not be in a hurry, I have been waiting for three years, not a few more years, this time is the law of enslavement and reform, but the country cannot act rashly at all, so I will start to rectify the chaos from other miscellaneous taxes." ”

Emperor Longtai said impassionedly, but Jia Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

The limitations of history are difficult to break, even if Emperor Longtai can be regarded as a Ming monarch, he cannot see the difficulties and shortcomings of the implementation of the new law, but fortunately he is not an emperor who is in a hurry.

Although he has the experience of the previous life, Jia Rong has a remedy, but he is not the first assistant, and the companion monarch mainly understands the truth of his government in his position.

Seeing that Jia Rong was still silent in the hall, Emperor Longtai asked:

"Jia Rong, I can't give much about the secret guard, some armaments, and some convenience in acting, now what do you want to compare with me, as long as you don't go out of line, I will promise you."

Jia Rong is such a clever and loyal courtier, Emperor Longtai is willing to surrender his favor to win him over, after all, Jia Rong is still of great use to him at this time.

Jia Rong knew that this was a sweet date, as long as it didn't involve anything about silver, it was estimated that this somewhat stingy emperor would agree, but what Jia Rong needed was not silver, he would earn the silver himself, what he lacked was the convenience of acting.

He bowed and said, "The minister dares to ask His Majesty for permission to equip the secret guards with firearms." ”

Emperor Longtai did not know military affairs, he was not an emperor who won the world from the horse, and he did not know the impact of firearms on the direction of the war.

He was a little confused at this time, what was the use of those iron pipes that were inconvenient to use, difficult to store, and not very powerful to Jia Rong.

Emperor Longtai opened his mouth and asked: "Jia Rong, what do you want firearms to do, the secret guard is not a battlefield fight, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to use firearms." ”

Jia Rong explained: "Although the dark guard is practicing hard now, it is still far from the Jinyi guard, so the minister wants to borrow external forces to improve some firearms to improve the dark guard. ”

Emperor Longtai is even more puzzled, the Shenji Battalion has been studying for decades without progress, can you be a teenager to find a way out and improve firearms?

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Longtai responded: "If this is the case, I will be approved, but I still know the power of firearms.

1. Do not go to the people,

Second, it cannot be taken out unless there is a task,

3. If you need to use a firearm, you must report it to us first. ”

"If these three covenants are met, the guards will be allowed to equip themselves with firearms."

Jia Rong kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Originally, Emperor Longtai was ready, and he gave Jia Rong some military expenses and military supplies once, but Jia Rong actually asked for a verbal approval, which made Emperor Longtai feel that he seemed to be rewarded, but as if he was not rewarded.

There was nothing else to do here, and Emperor Longtai said to Jia Rong: "This is the case, you can step down by yourself, follow the secret decree in the future, and have a good time this year." ”

When Jia Rong heard this, she knew that Emperor Longtai would not make such a big move a year ago, so she responded: "Minister Jia Rong retires." ”

Exiting the lobby, leaving the door of the princess's mansion, and getting on the horse, Jia Rong's heart was put down.

He seemed to know what enemies he would face in the future, but he wasn't worried, as long as the emperor was around, he would be able to act happily.

rode to Tingxuan Pavilion.

At this time, the Tingxuan Pavilion was being rebuilt, especially the inner courtyard.

In order to facilitate the beggars' children to use this place as a base, Jia Rong ordered craftsmen to tear down the old inner courtyard wall and expand the area to build the wall.

Expand most of the inner courtyard to the backyard for the beggars' children to live in, and separate it from the front hall.

When she came to the door of Tingxuan Pavilion, Jia Rong saw her father-in-law Qin Ye supervising the work, and stepped forward and saluted:

"Master Yue, why did you come at this hour?"

Qin Ye saw that it was Jia Rong who came, and said with a smile: "The matter of the virtuous son-in-law, the old man should be more attentive." ”

Then he pointed to a table in the hall and said, "Son-in-law, I really don't understand why you have to make a hole in this good table." ”

Jia Rong said with a smile: "This is useful, and my father-in-law will know it then." ”

Jia Rong turned around in the room, and his father-in-law deserved to repair the royal garden, and this renovation made the atmosphere in the building full but not the pursuit of luxury and vulgarity, which won Jia Rong's heart.

Going around and around to a small room in the building, Jia Rong slowly mentioned three golden words with a pen under the prepared plaque, "Cangsheng Banquet".
