In the next period of time, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others rushed to the cabinet one after another, and when they saw Yan Song's figure, their reaction was the same as that of Xu Jie, full of surprise.

After Yan Shifan also entered the cabinet, he saw Yan Song cough lightly twice, attracting everyone's attention to himself, and after looking around, he said slowly.

"I have two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Let's hear the bad news first!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and then turned his gaze to Yan Song, and said in a deep voice.

Yan Song nodded, and after organizing the words in his mind, he spoke.

"Not long ago, under the leadership of Gonggong Lu, I went to the Heart Cultivation Palace."

"What His Majesty means is that he wants to gradually implement the integration of the gentry and the gentry, and this issue will be discussed at the next cabinet meeting."

As soon as Yan Song's words fell, Xu Jie seemed to be frightened, his face turned pale, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, I saw Xu Jie come back to his senses and ask Yan Song.

"Elder Yan Ge, what do you mean by what you just said, the officials and gentry are integrated to pay for food!"

Yan Song took in the expression on Xu Jie's face, nodded, and repeated his words again.

"Well, that's right, Your Majesty wants to implement the integration of officials and gentry to pay grain."

"And, this is a fact that cannot be changed!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he added a sentence next.

After Gao Gong suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, he immediately spoke.

"Elder Yan Ge, didn't you explain to Your Majesty the possible consequences of this matter?"

Seeing this, Yan Song sighed helplessly and explained.

"Before this, I have already advised Your Majesty, but it has no effect, Your Majesty has said that this policy will be implemented, and the attitude is extremely resolute, and no one can waver!"

After listening to Yan Song's explanation, Xu Jie's face was also embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he gave his own thoughts.

"If this policy is to be implemented, the resistance it will encounter in the middle will be immeasurable!"

"Besides, even if we agree to this proposal and vigorously promote it, the gentry whose interests have been harmed will certainly do everything they can to obstruct the implementation of this policy."

"Moreover, the officials who carry out this policy will be despised by the scholars of the world, and will be removed from the gentry forever."

Xu Jie paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued.

"Don't forget, we're also scholars."

Although Xu Jie didn't make it clear, the meaning of the words was already obvious.

He Xu Jie did not support this policy, and he was not willing to risk offending the world's scholars to carry it out.

After Xu Jie, Gao Gong also followed closely to show his attitude.

"I think it's too early to discuss this matter, so let's wait until the time is right!"

After listening to Gao Gong's words, Yan Song withdrew his gaze from Gao Gong's body and said secretly.

"If it drags on like this, how long can it be delayed, that day will come sooner or later."

Zhang Juzheng on the side also fell into deep thought after listening to Xu Jie's and Gao Gong's speeches respectively.

He can keenly perceive that if the policy proposed by His Majesty can be implemented smoothly, it will have indescribable benefits to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that the taxes of the imperial court will be guaranteed, the burden on the common people will be lightened a lot, and most importantly, the privileges of officials and landlords who are exempt from taxes will be abolished!

And once their tax-free privileges are abolished, then the dependence of the common people on these people will also be greatly reduced.

In order to maintain their current status, these officials and landlords can only be more dependent on the emperor, thus reducing the possibility of committing rebellion and disobedience, and the decrees issued by the imperial court will be smoother.

After thinking about all this, Zhang Juzheng also fell into a tangle.

In any case, Zhang Juzheng is also a scholar, he also belongs to the gentry class, and enjoys the benefits and privileges brought to him by this class!

"Zhang Juzheng, do you really dare to defy the world's condemnation and insist on implementing this policy?"

"Or are you ready for this monstrous wave?"

Just as Zhang Juzheng was fighting, Gao Gong on the side seemed to see what he was thinking, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and comforted him.

"Don't get too tangled, just follow your heart's will!"

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he seemed to have a clear understanding in his heart, his face was full of gratitude, and he said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Elder Gaoge, for your doubts!"

Yan Song saw that everyone had been discussing for a long time, but they had not reached an agreement, so he spoke helplessly.

"Forget it, let's do this for the time being!"

"You guys go back and think about it, how should we explain it to Your Majesty when the time comes."

Yan Song's voice fell, and when he was about to return to his position to deal with the corresponding recital, Yan Shifan, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and asked Yan Song.

"Father, didn't you say before that there was good news?"

Hearing this, everyone present shifted their gaze to Yan Song in unison, waiting for his answer.

"yes, I almost forgot about it!"

I saw Yan Song holding his forehead, a little self-blame appeared on his face, paused, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty said that every week the officials will have a day off to rest."

As soon as Yan Song's words fell, everyone's faces were full of eagerness, and they asked him.

"Elder Yan Ge, is this news true?"

Hearing this, Yan Song nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty said this to me personally!"

After getting the confirmation of Yan Song, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, there was only one thought in their hearts, and that was: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang's Governor's Palace.

At this moment, Hu Zongxian was sitting at the top, looking at Zheng Michang and He Maocai in front of him in surprise, he couldn't understand what these two people were looking for him.

"Tell me, what are you two looking for this officer?"

Hu Zongxian picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and asked.

Seeing this, Zheng Michang had a flattering look on his face, and immediately greeted Hu Zongxian.

"Your Excellency, you've worked hard these days!"

When Hu Zongxian heard this, he frowned, his face was full of impatience, and he immediately commanded.

"Okay, just say anything you want, don't go around in circles with this official!"

Hearing this, Zheng Michang hesitated for a long time, then bit his lip and asked Hu Zongxian.

"Lord Governor, haven't you been training those vacans who are willing to be loyal to my Ming Dynasty recently?"

"Xia Guan also wants to share some affairs for you, so that you can put more energy into it!"

As soon as Zheng Michang's words fell, He Maocai on the side also followed closely with Ying Hedao.

"Yes, Lord Governor, we want to take care of some of your business, too."

Having said that, Hu Zongxian couldn't see where these two people had a calculation in their hearts.

Immediately, I saw Hu Zongxian retract his gaze and commanded.

"That's it, since the two of you have this heart, the official is embarrassed to refuse you!"

"In this way, you will be temporarily responsible for logistics and other matters!"

Seeing that the matter had settled, Zheng Michang and He Maocai's faces were full of joy, and they immediately responded.

"Yes, Lord Governor, we will live up to your expectations!"
