The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 590

[Chapter 590 I will bear the eternal infamy!]

This sentence is simply a slap in the face of Emperor Chu, and it is simply pointing at his nose and saying: This world is not only your emperor’s, but also the scholar-bureaucrat’s!

After hearing this, Emperor Chu’s face naturally became extremely gloomy.

But he couldn’t say anything.

He had single-handedly promoted the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, so he naturally knew him quite well and knew that he was just being more outspoken and that what he said was indeed the truth.

Those gentry are not fools, on the contrary, they are the most astute people in Chu State. When they see the four words “Dingtianheyi”, they will immediately understand the meaning.

If something goes wrong with this group of people, it will not only shake the foundation of the country.

“What do you mean by Master Shangshu’s words?”

Just when the scene gradually became a bit stalemate, Fang Xiu stood up, looked at the Minister of Household Affairs, and slowly said: “In the whole world, is it the king’s land, the leader of the land? Bin, could it be

that the land in this world belongs to your majesty, but your majesty is kind and righteous and does not want to see the suffering of his people, so he only distributes it to them.

Now, these lands that should have benefited the common people have become a disaster for the gentry. What’s wrong with using the Dingtian unification method to restore things to the way they should have been? “

“This””

When the Minister of the Ministry of Finance heard this, there was a look of hesitation on his face. For a moment, he couldn’t help it.

Know what is good to say.

In fact, people in his position rarely consider their own interests.

Because they are already at the top, their vision will naturally not be limited to their own three-thirds of an acre.

But

he thought for a while, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked: “I have no objection to Xin Anbo’s words.

Ding Yin’s policy has indeed reached the point where it needs to be reformed, but I think this matter needs to be remembered for a long time.” , step by step, even if we want to take back the land of the gentry, we have to do it slowly.

Implementing the Dingtian unification policy in such a drastic manner is a bit too hasty, and I am afraid that at that time, the consequences will be

unimaginable.”

Fang Xiu saw that his attitude was quite good, so he did not confront Yang Zheng like he did before, but instead presented the facts and reasoned.

“What Mr. Qiu said is true, but Mr. Qiu, this Ding Yin policy is an old disease of the imperial court. Now it has penetrated into the heart and must be diagnosed and treated with a sharp knife!

Just like the surgical method .

, Only by cutting off the root of the disease quickly can we succeed! “

There is a certain truth in what the two people said, and they both insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.

On one side is Xin Anbo, who is in full swing, and on the other side are the high officials of the imperial court.

Both of them played a decisive role in the court. Listening to their words, the three bachelors gradually furrowed their brows, obviously thinking about the possibilities they said.

“Okay.”

At this time, Emperor Chu on the dragon throne spoke slowly and said: “I still think that Fang Qing’s family is right. Stubborn illnesses require a sharp knife. If you are hesitant and indecisive, it will worsen the illness in the end. Sooner or later, it will get out of hand.”

“Your Majesty!”

Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he knelt down deeply and said in an excited tone: “Your Majesty, if the country’s foundation is shaken, what will happen? “

How?”

“Ha!”

Fang Xiu snorted and said, “Why is the country shaken? Isn’t it because I am worried that the gentry will rebel?

I am Wu Xun,

and I am willing to lead the army .

Wan, stationed in the Central Plains, anyone, no matter the gentry, no matter how noble, as long as they dare to cause trouble, they will be killed!” As soon as

these

words came out, not only the Minister of Hubu, but also the other three great scholars! He couldn’t help but look at Fang Xiu.

They understand the meaning of this sentence very well.

This is going to kill the fish and break the net!

Of course, the net may not break, but the fish will definitely die.

And they are the strongest among these fish.

“Your Majesty, I don’t agree with what Xin Anbo said. The kings of Chu in the past want to rule the country with benevolence. If they go to war, I’m afraid it will hurt the hearts of the people in the world.”

“Your Majesty, the farmers are your subjects, and so are the gentry. Your people.”

“Your Majesty, think again!”

“Your Majesty, think twice!”

“”

All of a sudden, the three cabinet ministers and the Minister of Household Affairs made comments one after another.

Fang Xiu stood behind them, with a very indifferent expression on his face, and his eyes were just indifferent. His whole person showed a cold aura, like a dead leaf falling in the late autumn, without any sound, but Bring endless silence and chill.

Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair, looking at the kneeling bachelor and Fang Xiu standing proudly, and was once again entangled.

He is a benevolent king.

Even when faced with former ministers who committed serious crimes, the most they could do was exile to the frontier, and they never had to kill them all, let alone those gentry who had not caused trouble and were dedicated to protecting themselves.

Once the war breaks out, it will never be that easy to stop it.

However, looking at Fang Xiu, he couldn’t say no if he refused.

It wasn’t because Fang Xiu had saved his life.

Above the court, personal emotions have nothing to do with it.

Just because he understood that this famine in the Central Plains Road was the best opportunity to reform the land tax. If this opportunity was missed, it would be almost impossible to move those gentry who were dependent on the imperial court for their fortunes and misfortunes.

“You adults can object as long as it’s for the sake of the people of the world. I will bear this eternal infamy!”

At this time, Fang Xiu looked at a few old guys kneeling on the ground and said coldly.

The meaning of this sentence is very clear, that is, these old guys are afraid of being scolded in the spine, so they don’t care about the life and death of the people of Li.

To put it bluntly, he himself never thought that one day, he would actually talk about the people.

However, this trip to the Central Plains Road made him change too much.

He has enjoyed too much since he came to this world, and it’s time to leave something good for the simple people of this world, this era, and most importantly, this land.

When Emperor Chu heard Fang Xiu’s words, his initially hesitant expression gradually changed, and he gradually became firm.

Yes,

it’s nothing more than getting some infamy.

Compared with these thousands of people, what is this little reputation?

As a king, is reputation more important than keeping his people well fed and clothed?

What exactly do you want?

Thinking of the last question, he already had the answer in his heart.

When the kneeling ministers saw this scene, their hearts thumped. In an instant, there was only one thought left in their minds.

It’s over.

Your Majesty will be bewitched by the new Amber!
