"Is he here to pave the way?"

After Huang Kezhang left, Secretary Wang said with some uncertainty.

"I can't say, I'm just here to test it."

Yang Xin said.

Old Man Huang represented Fujian gentry to test where the ambition of Zhennan King was.

It would be too naive to say that he believed that King Zhennan was still a loyal minister at this time. His current control area was even better than Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and his military strength was significantly higher than that of the court. If he had made a concerted effort last time, he would have almost arrived in the capital.

Then the gentry must consider how to face this in the future...

This warlord is here.

Anyway, he can be described as a warlord at this time.

You can watch other places, but the Fujian gentry is not qualified to watch. Whether from land or sea, Yang Xin has already pinned them. If Yang Xin is not interested in going north next, then they will be the first to expand. But it is also a bit exaggerated to say that the Fujian gentry is ready for bloody battles for their own fields. Their wealth is not land but overseas trade. Due to the special situation in Fujian, the inland is not similar to Susong's super landlords with hundreds of thousands or millions of land. They do not have this condition at all, they are small and medium-sized landlords on small flat grounds in the mountains.

It seems a bit unwise to fight a battle with almost no chance of winning for those hundreds of thousands of acres of land.

Besides, there is no money.

The rich coastal gentry did not join, and the small landlords in the inland could not fight at all. In this case, the Fujian gentry really wanted to test it and see if they could find a good way out.

This is what Huang Kezhang passed by Nanjing.

And Yang Xin gave him a satisfactory answer, so the Fujian gentry would become sensible next.

"My mind is gone!"

Yang Xin said.

To put it bluntly, the gentry of Fujian began to consider the possibility of abandoning the Zhu family. If there is really a day when Yang Xin plans to usurp the throne in the future, they will welcome the king's army when necessary and shout long live to Xinjun Mountain. As long as the Xinjun is not too harsh on them and can meet some of their requirements.

And it's not just Fujian, I'm afraid there are already many gentry in the country thinking this way at this time.

For example, Guangdong gentry.

In recent years, all the gentry of Guangdong have taken the wait-and-see action. Although the Nanyang Navy suppressed the interests of the Nanyang Company, it was also related to the great discount of the loyalty of Guangdong gentry to Tianqi. After all, they did not care about the emperor's surname. As long as they did not touch their interests, they could not touch their core interests at least. The core interests of the gentry of Fujian and Guangdong provinces were long ago not land. At least the most important wealth of the gentry in the Pearl River Delta has become industry and commerce, and the inland mountainous areas are indeed mainly agriculture and planting, but the problem is that they are also like Fujian. It is difficult for them to have super big landlords because of the terrain, which is mainly small and medium-sized landlords.

Small and medium-sized landlords have no money to resist.

The big landlords who truly control wealth on the coast are unwilling to take the risk of losing everything after failure for land that is no longer the fundamental wealth.

The wealth controlled by small and medium-sized landlords is not enough to resist.

Then, when it is known that Yang Xin will definitely encourage industry and commerce, especially overseas trade and development, the gentry of Fujian and Guangdong, with this core interest, began to consider kicking away the Apocalypse when necessary, and it might be normal to accept him. After all, they are not loyal to the Old Zhu family, especially now that the Apocalypse has obviously begun to think about them. After this little emperor showed his minions, he did not seem to be cute than Yang Xin. Moreover, there is a huge interest group behind Tianqi, and they are all corrupt officials, but the interest group behind Yang Xin is smaller, and it is now more honest...

At least there were no group of eunuchs behind him.

There are no bunch of vassal kings.

No family has hereditary nobles.

In short, after deducting his share of land, Yang Xin is actually much more cute to the gentry than the Apocalypse, but with the share of land, the gentry has no choice.

Alas, they were also confused.

"I'm also confused!"

The King of Zhennan said with a look of confusion.

And at this moment, in the garden of a mansion in the capital two thousand miles away.

"What do you say about Nine Thousand Years?"

Wei Guangwei looked at Feng Quan who was walking into the pavilion and said with anticipation.

Others were also looking at Feng Quan.

These are all eunuchs, and the most active ones around Jiu Qiansui.

However, Gu Bingqian has retired and returned home. Anyway, his land has been divided, so it will be useless to continue making trouble. During this period, the undercurrents in the capital city. He is old and dare not stay. The reform of Tianqi has nothing to do with him. His family is in the area controlled by Yangxin. If he stays, he may be involved in the struggle vortex. He is very smart. Recently, there are actually many resignations in the court, and there are more than one or two old foxes. He just rushed back from the south and had nowhere to settle down. Jiu Qiansui is accurate in all these voluntary resignations, and they all symbolically add a reward-oriented official.

Gu Bingqian also joined the junior teacher!

The remaining leader was Wei Guangwei, who was also a minister of the cabinet, the Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace, and the Minister of Personnel.

He is known as the Duke of Wei.

However, the most favored person around Jiu Qiansui is Feng Quan. Xiao Feng, who was poisoned by Miao Changqi, is now the Minister of Rites, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the 30-year-old minister of the cabinet!

Although Xiao Feng has a bad character, he has to admit it.

That is also a blessing to the beloved minister!

At this moment, Wang Yongguang and Cui Chengxiu were still there. He has made slow progress around Jiu Qiansui over the years. Mainly because Sun Chengzong controls the Ministry of War, he can never seize power. Whether those generals or governors from all over the country, they only recognize Sun Chengzong. He is nothing. He is not his turn to be the right minister and the left minister. There are also more than a dozen others including Wang Shaohui, Huo Weihua, Xue Zhen, etc., who are all the core members of the eunuch party.

In their attention, Feng Quan slowly shook his head with a gloomy face.

Wei Guangwei sat down dejectedly.

Hovey slapped the table hatefully.

The other bunch all looked gloomy...

"The meaning of nine thousand years old is that the sacred will be decided, and these two things must be done no matter what.

Moreover, Jiu Qiansui already had a lot of things in his hands. He also pointed out the name of Duke Daochong, saying that only 10,000 mu of land was paid for 10,000 mu of fertile land in Duke Chong's family. Long live with 10,000 mu of tax exemption, but it would be a bit too much if it was not paid for 80,000 mu of tax. For the past, it was a bit of a problem. Now that Duke Long live with a minister, we ministers have to help Duke Long live and pay taxes. Only a few liters of land per acre. As long as the holy family is still there, what does this count?"

Feng Quan said.

"Which 9th century-old man is this? Is there so much land in my family?"

Wei Guangwei argued as if he had been defiled from thin air.

"And Brother Dechun, Jiu Qiansui said that your family smuggled 30,000 citations of Hedong salt in a year last year. This is too disastrous. Hedong only produced about one million citations a year. He would not pursue it before, but you have to go back and prepare 10,000 taels of silver, which is considered to be dedicated to His Majesty to help the country. The tax that should be paid after the salt law reform will still have to be paid."

Feng Quan said to Xue Zhen.

"This is a false accusation. Someone deliberately framed it. Why does Jiu Qiansui even believe this? My Xue family in Hancheng is not a famous family. How dare you smuggle such a big one!"

Xue Zhen said with tears in his eyes.

He said that he was a bit insulting. The Xue family in Hancheng is the number one aristocratic family. At this time, there were only four Jinshis and one of the chief ministers in history, Xue Guoguan, who was the chief minister in the criminal department, was in charge of the criminal department. As for smuggling some Hedong salt, he was the core of the eunuch party. It was a big mistake to smuggle tens of thousands of private salt. Which of the tribes in these places around Hedong Yanchi does not sell private salt? The official official has more than one million salt intake and sells 150 prefectures and counties. Of course, it is impossible to let go of such a large piece of fat. Otherwise, why would he be accused of the eunuch party with the 9,000-year salt?

"Everyone, I just conveyed the meaning of nine thousand years. I don't need to mention whether there is any wrongdoing."

Feng Quan said.

He was in a bad mood at the moment.

His Feng family also has a lot of hidden fields, and by the way, his father is already the governor...

Originally, in history, his father was dismissed from his post and was furious to death because he was afraid that Jiannu had abandoned his post and fled, so he was dismissed and returned to death. However, this statement was a bit strange because his father was the right governor of Henan and only ran away when the wild boar skin attacked Liaoshen. This was obviously a bit exaggerated. He actually ran away in Henan because the wild boar skin captured Liaoyang and prepared to escape Wuyue.

It's a bit too early to prepare for the future.

But no matter whether this statement was true or false in history, his father did not at this time, and he had been serving as the governor of Henan.

The Feng family father and son have two generations, one is the governor and the other is the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet!

It’s a big deal to have tens of thousands of acres of hidden land at home!

"Why do we have to make such a fuss? We follow the Nine Thousand Years, and we are loyal and have no credit and hard work. Why do you believe these slander?"

Wei Guangwei lamented.

"Everyone, Your Majesty is determined this time. The land of the clan clan is just an introduction. After checking this year, all the towns will be cleared next year. We are planning to borrow people from Yang Xin so that no one will do anything. The meaning of Nine Thousand Years is that we, those of us, have any hidden lands, and we will report to the officials and pay taxes in private this year. Don't find it out at that time. Your Majesty is going to find a few to warn you.

The same goes for salt.

The new salt method is necessary before the end of this year, and this is the deadline for the Emperor Long live.

And it was followed by Yang Xinxue, but all salt households returned to the old production and handed over the salt farm to the salt farm and then exchanged the grain. The Yang family would transport southern rice to the salt farm warehouses in Changlu for preparation. Jiu Qiansui said that some grain was not enough, and it was called directly from the Yang family warehouse.

Salt merchants can only find salt farms to pay salt, and all salt taxes are added to the market price.

The same is true for Hedong Salt Field.

In addition, the salt inspector's censor was abolished, and the salt transportation departments in various places were abolished, and only the salt farm ambassadors were retained. Changlu Salt District was formed by Yangjiazhuang households, and some salt sellers were executed on the spot. In addition, the general of the Forbidden Wall was set up in the Salt Lake in Hedong, and a battalion of cavalry was also transferred from Yang Xin to patrol the Forbidden Wall. Any smugglers were killed without any slander.

Everyone, our good days are over!"

Feng Quan said with a serious expression.
Chapter completed!
