After leaving the imperial study, Huo Jingzhi did not return to the Ministry of Industry, but went directly out of the imperial city and returned to the mansion of the eldest princess of Ningyang in a carriage.

"Why did you come back so early today?"

Seeing him, the eldest princess of Ningyang was a little surprised.

"Well, there's something to do."

Huo Jingzhi walked to the side and sat down, and after the subordinates served the tea, he asked the subordinates to retreat first.

Only then did he open his mouth and talk about the matter of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, is this going to be implemented?"

The eldest princess of Ningyang was a little happy, after all, this was a good strategy for governing the country that her daughter had come up with.

Seeing her like this, Huo Jingzhi felt a little helpless in his heart and nodded; "The emperor has made his attitude clear, but I am a little apprehensive in my heart."

Although he was a little dissatisfied with his wife's fact that he had told the emperor about it without informing him, he didn't say anything until he got to this point.

Besides, this plan is still what his daughter thinks, and it is still a good plan, and if it succeeds, it will be of great benefit to the people of the Yu Dynasty.

"What's the concern? Although I don't know much about politics, I know that it's a good thing. ”

"A good thing is a good thing, but there are also a lot of troubles here."

Subsequently, he analyzed all the twists and turns in it to the eldest princess of Ningyang.

"This policy is good, but it is not easy to implement it, the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty and those scholars, as well as the local gentry will not agree, and even if one is not done well, it will cause national turmoil."

"How serious?"

The eldest princess of Ningyang was also a little surprised.

Although she is a princess and knows some things in the court, she is not a serious person in the court, although she can see some things, but some things at a deep level are still somewhat unclear.

Let's just say that this strategy of spreading the land into the mu, in her opinion, is a good thing, it can help the people, and it can also make the country's tax revenue stable in the future.

Although the noble clan and those gentry will have some losses, no matter how much land these people have in their names, it is actually nothing to take out a very small part.

After all, most of these things of these people are still rewarded by the imperial court, and the imperial court does not have to take back all of them, but they only need to hand over a small part.

However, she overlooks one point, and that is human greed.

Who wants to take their things out?

And it's not just one time, but every year in the future.

Think about the fact that in the past, not only did you not have to turn it in, but you could also get a little more from below into your pocket.

Now it's okay, not only do you have to turn it in, but you can't get it below, this loss is not much, but it's also a loss.

Those who have been taking advantage of them and letting them lose are like killing them.

"It's not that you don't know the greed of those scholars, not to mention it, how did the Zheng family treat Yaoyao because of the lo-mei matter?"

"That's how much profit it is, the Zheng family wants to occupy it, and it will do so many things after it doesn't work."

"If this is spread out into the acre, the loss in this will be much greater than that lo-mei, can these guys be happy?"

The eldest princess of Ningyang only saw those things on the faces of these people, and felt that if they took out a little, even if they were uncomfortable, but the pressure of the court was there, they had to listen.

But she didn't see what these people were secretly doing.

For more than 20 years since the founding of the Yu Dynasty, the social environment has been relatively stable, and the population has been continuously increasing.

According to normal reasoning, the Yu Dynasty still had rich land, and the population did not increase much, so it would not be without food.

But in fact? In many places of the Yu Dynasty, the lives of the people were still below the horizontal line, and many people died of starvation every year.

Are these people not working hard enough?

Of course not, but these wealthy families are oppressing.

Originally, the Yu Dynasty collected a per capita tax, that is, a tax increase according to the capitation, or to pay grain, or to pay silver.

For example, if there were 10,000 households in a small town when it was founded, then when the land was first divided, each household had it.

But after 20 years, are these 10,000 households still only 10,000 people?

Obviously, there will not be only 10,000 households, because the society is relatively stable, the population has increased, and the original family, perhaps for some reason, has been separated, and the number of people has gone up.

But the land is still the same as it was, and if there is any more catastrophe, these lands will be annexed by some people.

Then there will be a problem, the population will increase, the land will decrease, and even say that many people have no land in their names.

At this time, the imperial court still collects taxes according to capitation, so what do these landless people pay?

And those who originally owned land, as the population increased, they had to bear more and more taxes, and the land was so small that they would naturally be unable to make ends meet.

At this time, there will be some local people who will work together to collect some of the population and turn them into black households.

And these black households can be used to create other industries.

Help the wealthy people to open up wasteland, and then they plant these wastelands, and pay a large amount of grain to their masters every year, these wastelands are not registered, and they are more and more opened.

The wealth of these wealthy families is also increasing.

And these industries are in the shadows.

Now that the apportionment into the mu has appeared, in order to collect taxes in the future, the imperial court will inevitably re-measure the land, so can the land in these secret fields still be hidden?

Originally, these lands were all their own, and how much they collected was their own, but now that the court does this, it will be divided.

In addition to these, there is also the matter of land annexation, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it, and the court will not be able to liquidate it at that time?

If one doesn't get it right, it will harm the whole family, and this is a proper loss for the wife and the soldiers, and it's no wonder that these people can agree.

"In this case, this policy cannot be pushed forward?"

"The emperor has already stated that he will do it even if there are difficulties."

"I'm not worried about whether this can be pushed down, but about letting people outside know that this strategy was proposed by our family, and what do you think we will face at that time?"

When the eldest princess of Ningyang heard this, her face changed.

The Mansion of Ji Guo is not weak, but it is far from being able to compete with all the noble ministers and gentry in the world.

"So what about this?"

Now the eldest princess of Ningyang was a little anxious, she originally only thought about Yu Dynasty, and at the same time, this policy is so good, it can be regarded as a great credit for her own daughter.

But I never thought it would be so serious.

"The emperor didn't tell anyone else that you wrote this policy, and he also told me that he wouldn't tell anyone."

"But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and we are afraid that the trouble will not be small this time."

The eldest princess of Ningyang was silent.

"The matter has come to this, it's useless to worry about it, in the future, you should talk to me first, we are making a decision."

For his wife, Huo Jingzhi didn't complain about anything, things were already like this, and he really couldn't make any noise about it.

"You go with me to see Yaoyao outside the city, I have something to ask her."
