.When hearing the emperor's last words, everyone felt a terrified. Most of the people who stayed in the hall were young people. They were passionate and had a strong sense of justice. The emperor brought it up with him. He was loyal to the emperor. He had discussed with the emperor many times about rent reduction, but when the matter was about to come, he still felt a little panic.

Reduce rent and interest, and stipulate that land rent shall not exceed 40%, the interest on various loans shall not exceed 30% per year, and the monthly interest shall not exceed 50%. This is equivalent to digging a piece of meat from the major landlords in the world and filling it with tenants without land or less land. Not only will it be enemies with most of the gentry in the world, but it will even be enemies with their families and their own interests.

Although many people in the palace were from poor families and had been exploited by landlords in the past by high land rent and usury. However, after becoming officials, the high salary lent to them by the court was enough to allow them to live a good life and have enough money to buy land and property. Of course, everyone has not much land, even if they suffer much damage, but for thousands of years, in everyone's mind, land is the fundamental one. Whether it is officials, merchants, landlords or others, if they have more money in their hands, they choose to buy land and buy land. It can be imagined that with their bright future, they will only have more and more land in their homes in the future.

Those who can stand here are people trusted by the emperor. From the fact that the policy of reducing rent and interest rates for such a long time has not been leaked, it is known that the emperor at least did not believe in them wrong now. Faced with acts that harmed his own interests, everyone has passed the preliminary test, but it does not mean that some people are not in a sensation in their hearts, and the emperor's announcement was too sudden, so that the palace was silent for a moment.

"What, my dear friends have retreated." Seeing that everyone refused, Wang Fu's face darkened and his voice became stern.

"Return to the emperor, reducing rent and interest rates is still a benefit to the country. I have been deeply grateful to the emperor for my favor, and even if I am confused, I will be unable to repay you. What is the reason for retreating?" Xia Wanchun replied loudly.

The others also realized that since the emperor had made a decision, even if he really wanted to go through fire and water, he could not retreat at this time, and they all expressed their support passionately.

Wang Fu's expression calmed down and began to discuss specific strategies. If you want to reduce rent and interest rates successfully, even the emperor cannot just act tough and recklessly. Although he had discussed it many times before, the plan would never change. It was suddenly necessary to implement it, and many people felt extremely troublesome.

For several hours, Wang Fu had been discussing with everyone in the hall. He almost forgot that the end of the year was approaching. It was not until the two imperial concubines sent several palace maids to urge him that Wang Fu suddenly realized and waved his hand: "It's too late today. Please take your leave first. I'm a little anxious. It's not too late to discuss this matter after the New Year."

The world is about to be unified. If it is more stable, the strategy of reducing rent and interest will be too late. It is not too late to implement it in a few years. I just remembered the comparison between the landlord Haoqiang's drunken life and the tenant's almost in poverty when he visited him in a private place. Wang Fu always felt a painful feeling in his heart. In the prosperous era, the prosperous era. If the tenant, which accounts for more than half of the country's population, cannot eat enough and cannot wear warm clothes, what kind of prosperous era is this?

However, no matter how urgent it is, the formal decree will take a while. It is impossible to issue it before the New Year, so there is no need to come up with specific strategies now.

"I'm going to leave." Everyone felt relieved. If the emperor really wanted to take out the strategy before the New Year, the year would not be over.

"Emperor, I..." Xia Wanchun did not follow the other ministers out of the hall, but stayed at the end, a little reluctant to speak.

"Xia Aiqing, you are a king and minister, so you may as well say something." Wang Fu frowned slightly, wondering why Xia Wanchun looked like a quadrily.

"I obey the order, the emperor, I think the emperor is the Fengshan Mountain." Xia Wanchun finished speaking in one breath, and a burst of sweat appeared on her face, as if she had used a lot of effort. It was no wonder that the emperor had just rejected all the ministers' request for Fengshan. If he proposed it again, it would be equivalent to sacrificing his face. Although Xia Wanchun had always been close to the emperor, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Fu looked at Xia Wanchun strangely. If someone asked him, Wang Fu might be furious. However, Xia Wanchun knew that he had not shirked before and asked, so he must have his intention. Even so, Wang Fu still asked a little unhappy: "Why?"

"Report to the emperor, the matter of reducing rent and interest is related to the gentry in the world. Even if today is pacified and the court is stable, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to cause trouble. The emperor must beware. If he can use the will of heaven, it will definitely reduce a lot of resistance."

"This..." Wang Fu immediately understood what Xia Wanchun said. Fengshan was originally something that the heavens heard. If Fengshan returned and announced it again, it would link the rent and interest reduction with the will of heaven. Although many officials and gentry involved in vital interests would still object, some people would become shaky, which would definitely reduce some of the resistance.

If the rent reduction can be implemented more smoothly, even if his face is detrimental, Wang Fu would not care too much. Moreover, if he agrees, the ministers will only cheer up, but how could they care whether the emperor goes back on his word? It’s just that Wang Fu is not concerned about face, but his own safety, which cannot be told to outsiders.

"I know that the emperor does not admire his reputation and refuses to be a fame. He only prevents the people from being hurt by money. He is also afraid that the descendants of future generations will be in a way that prevents the people from being hurt. However, the emperor does not have to worry about it. During the period of Wanli and Tianqi, the imperial court's annual income was only about 30 million taels, and the royal family's expenditure accounted for 20 to 30% per year. Even if Emperor Chongzhen practices rigorously, the royal family's expenditure will be 30 million taels per year. Since the emperor ascended the throne, the national treasury has become increasingly abundant. This year, the imperial court's annual income is equivalent to nearly 150 million taels of silver, but the royal family's expenditure is only 30 million taels, which can be said to be extremely frugal. Once the imperial court's financial resources are spent, it is like a drop in the bucket. As for the descendants of later generations, if there is no emperor's achievements, how dare they be a feud?"

The old face of Xia Wanchun was slightly red. In the past, there were few people in the palace, and the annual expenses were less than one million taels. After the cold palace was filled with thousands of palace maids this year, it was much more lively than in previous years. The expenses also increased greatly, and suddenly increased to three million taels, which cost about tens of thousands of taels a day. Xia Wanchun kept saying that he was frugal.
