Chapter 30 [Looking at the Dog's Eyes]

Just when Lin Zhibai was addicted to practicing and could not extricate himself.

After a year of preparation, Emperor Longxing finally completed all the preparations for the tax reform.

Among the people, he has completed the pension of refugees, cut off the root causes of the birth of rebels and bandits, and maintained social stability.

In the court, Emperor Longxing also completed the adjustment of the official structure, replacing the cabinet ministers and many important ministers with loyal imperial parties who supported himself in tax reform.

Although Emperor Longxing himself can't do things, he knew that appointing ministers who can do things was enough.

In order to ensure that his policies can be fully implemented, Emperor Longxing also communicated with the nobles who held military power, and the two sides reached an agreement to ensure that Emperor Longxing could use his fingers to the army when necessary.

Of course, more importantly, Emperor Longxing also handled the harem.

All the eunuchs and palace maids who were associated with the powerful families were removed from the palace. Although Emperor Longxing did not deal with them for the time being, they also neglected and house arrested for a certain amount of time.

The purpose is to ensure that your policies can be handled while the enemy will not directly use some dirty and private means on yourself.

After making these preparations, Emperor Longxing announced his decision with the help of the imperial party’s confidant.

Thanks to Emperor Longxing's careful preparations, this policy that almost cut off all the wealthy families in the world did not cause much trouble in the court and was implemented.

The tax reform was first carried out in three counties and counties close to the Gyeonggi region.

The devastating army led by General Zhao Jing of the Cavalry, and the Zhenxi Army led by Duke Cheng of Duke of Cheng were driven into these three counties, and then many officials who had already organized began to measure the land and register their population among these three counties.

There were 80,000 soldiers who were in charge. The gentry who started by shouting that they would use various methods to resist taxes were much more polite and cooperated to measure the land.

There is nothing we can do about this.

At this time, the gentry, who was rude, had his whole family been arrested by Hongwei and had been reflected on the heavenly prison. If they turned around and found out what they had done, they had to go to the underworld to reflect on it.

So, the remaining gentry surrendered at this time.

After all, Emperor Longxing just wanted them to pay taxes, and the severity was just to cut their losses.

But if you dare to resist, you will be dead. Those who are more important can still be distinguished.

...

The tax reform that is close to the Imperial City Gyeonggi area has gone smoothly.

This place is the place with the strongest control of the central government, but it has not been so smooth in other places.

Without the suppression of the army, many officials who measured the land were beaten back by gentry from all over the country, and they were not allowed to work at all.

At this time, there are also waves in secret.

The King Feng, who was guarding the southwest area of ​​the Dahua Dynasty and was already 103 years old this year, issued a declaration of "clearing the king's side" at this time, believing that there were traitors in the court that caused Emperor Longxing to act violently regardless of the hearts of the gentry and the people of the world.

As the legitimate grandson of Emperor Shenwu, I should be resurrecting the bright world of Dahua.

After the issuance of this declaration, Feng Wang Linyue began to recruit soldiers and horses. In an instant, he received the support of the gentry of the three southwest counties. Countless scholars and warriors of the wealthy clans joined Feng Wang's command, intending to clear the king's side.

After all, Emperor Longxing would ask them to pay a tax on land, but King Feng would not.

Of course, it is a false sense to be bent on the side of Wang Qing, but it is true to want to seize the throne.

What complements the Fengwang King is that King Cheng Lin Mingxiu, who guards the East County, and King Jing Linxie of the West County, also launched an army under the banner of clearing the monarch. These people have also received the support of the gentry and wealthy families in their places.

In just seven months, the entire Dahua Dynasty looked in turmoil and the central government was in danger.

"Father, aren't you worried?"

In the imperial study room, Lin Zhibai, who was almost nine years old at this moment, looked at Emperor Long Xing who calmly handled the memorial and asked curiously.

You should know that these three royal families with royal titles have more than 300,000 troops, and there are also many strategists and masters under them.

Emperor Longxing's imperial guards, local garrisons, and border troops were only one million, and most of the border troops could not be moved. Overall, Emperor Longxing's army was only one hundred thousand.

Against the more than 300,000 army joined forces by the three royal families, even Emperor Longxing has the advantage in high-end combat power. If he wins, he will probably suffer heavy losses, thus shaking the foundation of the country.

In fact, the ambitious people in the world are now caring, looking forward to the Lin royal family themselves making their own tricks.

In this way, they have the possibility of taking advantage of the situation.

Upon hearing this, a strange expression appeared on Emperor Long Xing's face.

He glanced at Lin Zhibai, then found a secret file from the secret compartment and handed it to Lin Zhibai, and said with a smile: "After reading this, you should know why your father is not worried."

Lin Zhibai glanced at him a few times, and a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face.

At this time, he realized why Emperor Longxing did not take these royal families seriously at all, even a look of looking at a dog.

It turned out that before the death of Emperor Shenwu Lin Yuan, he was afraid that these royal families would go wild and affect the rule of the Lin family, so when he was enfeoffing these royal families, he all set up some secret sons who were only loyal to the emperor.

These people, including their descendants, were mastered by poisons, brainwashing courses, and temptations, ensuring absolute loyalty to the royal family sitting on the throne.

The dark son and officials appointed by the central government jointly supervise the children of the royal family.

On weekdays, they serve these clans like ordinary slaves or retainers, but once these clans have the idea of ​​rebelling, these secretaries will start and directly take the lives of these clans.

For these secret scholars, returning to the emperor's command was their greatest pursuit in their life.

Take King Feng for example. The secret boy next to him has been with him for more than 80 years. Who would have thought that he would be an undercover agent?

According to the information that Emperor Long Xing showed Lin Zhibai, it will take no time for the three rebellious clans to die suddenly. It would be useless to allow his martial arts to protect thousands of people around him, because the dark son would backstab in an area where they would never defend.

Unless these people are legendary masters, they will definitely not be able to stop them.

But it is obvious that no legendary master appeared in the world, including the court and the rivers and lakes.
