My good minister of the Ming Dynasty

Emperor Hongzhi was still a little hesitant about sending factory guards to supervise the reform, but in the world, the two powers often harm each other and choose the lesser.

We have been preparing for this time for a long time, and there is too much groundwork. If this reform in Changping Prefecture fails to succeed, then everything that follows will be out of the question.

Regardless of sunk costs or time and energy, we are always unable to bear such a failure.

If this pilot project wasn't too important, he wouldn't want to send factory guards there. He could only say that Wang Shouren was useless.

Xiao Jing also thought so, Wang Shouren was useless.

But it was precisely this failure that gave his great son the opportunity to go.

He was thinking that if he could get the emperor's permission to let his great son go this time, he would have to give him some advice, scold him or hit him, and he would have to let this little bastard take care of the matter.

of beautiful.

I will vigorously carry out this reform and make a great contribution.

If you want to accomplish this, you must be ruthless.

When it comes to cruelty, who can compare to factory guards?

In the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi was sitting behind the imperial desk, with Xiao Jing standing beside him with his head bowed. Both the master and the servant were thinking secretly.

At this moment, a young eunuch stepped into the Nuan Pavilion and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Xiao wants to see you."

"pass."

After a moment, Xiao Yan came in with his head lowered, fell to his knees, and said, "I have seen the emperor."

Zhu Youtang hummed, looked at him and said, "Raise your head."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his head, and Zhu Youtang looked at his face and said: "Wang Shouren went to Changping Prefecture to reform the law. There is no news yet. Various forces in this place are intertwined, and there are many wolves, tigers, and leopards."

, your godfather said that only ruthless and decisive people should not do this, and recommended you. He also said that you are well-behaved, sensible, and ruthless. I don’t know whether you are ruthless or not, but your appearance is intimidating to others.

, exuding a sense of viciousness."

"."

Xiao Yan is an unusual person in the eyes of others. His abnormality is not only reflected in the fact that he speaks less, but also has a relatively long reflex arc. Often when others talk to him, it always takes a while for him to respond.

And this time was no exception. After listening to these words silently, he knelt there without saying a word. Emperor Hongzhi frowned at first, and then relaxed.

That's all, he is an abnormal person after all, why bother with him.

Xiao Jing is so anxious that he wants to stamp his feet, what a bastard, he is causing trouble to our family at the critical moment.

"I don't dare, slave."

After kneeling on the ground in silence for a long time, Xiao Yan finally reacted, kowtowed, and straightened up, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial here from Changping Prefecture."

As he spoke, he took out the memorial from his sleeve and held it in both hands.

If someone else, such as Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, was here, Emperor Hongzhi would have to ask about the whereabouts of Wang Shouren. But for him, Zhu Youtang did not ask, but went to fetch the memorial with a flute.

After receiving the report, Emperor Hongzhi opened it and read it. He was really relieved when he saw the contents of the previous lines, "It is good that this person is fine, so Wang Qing's family should be relieved, and I will feel relieved.

Went to take office."

Zhu Youtang didn't know why he had to add such a word. It seemed that it was a surprise in his subconscious that the governor went to take office.

Just watching, he stopped speaking, his face began to gradually change, and the hand holding the report began to tremble.

Seeing the emperor's expression change, Xiao Jing knew something was wrong and quickly stood up on tiptoes and stretched his neck to read the contents of the letter.

As he watched, his face suddenly changed color.

"boom!"

Emperor Hongzhi slapped the memorial on the imperial desk, turned to look at Xiao Jing, with a tremor that had not yet subsided on his face, but his voice was very low, "The reform in Changping Prefecture requires a ruthless and decisive person.

, otherwise it will never be possible to accomplish this, is this what you said before?"

That bang made Xiao Jing's heart tremble. Before he could recover, he heard this question. He swallowed and said, "The slave said it."

"Then take a look for yourself, what Wang Shouren did in Changping Prefecture!"

Xiao Jing knelt down and said, "Slave, I've already seen it..."

"I really underestimated him. He killed dozens of people at will, including Liu Xiyao's family members."

"Do you think these people are rebels?"

Xiao Jing really didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only say: "My slave, I don't know."

"Then what do you think he meant by doing this?"

"I think this is the governor who is trying to establish his power."

"What's the point of establishing authority? This is to kill the rebels!"

Zhu Youtang suddenly roared, and then glanced at the memorial. The memorial was clearly written and extremely detailed.

The executed Zhou family colluded with the Liu family's in-laws and actually concealed more than 16,700 acres of land. Wang Shouren asked repeatedly, but still refused to admit it. He insisted that it belonged to the Liu Yushi family, but then

I can't get the land deed to be inspected.

Without a land deed, it was a wasteland, and it was later handed over to the court. However, this group of people obstructed the insertion of cards and obstructed the court's decision-making. Later, the governor Wang killed it on the spot on the charge of rebellion and had his head displayed to the public.

Even after the order was given, this group of people still clamored to resist. Finally, the Ling Guards came to put down the rebellion.

The killing was reasonable and the charges were well-founded, making it impossible for anyone to find anything wrong with him.

This slash of the sword was like a sword swinging through autumn leaves, killing everyone in Changping Prefecture with fear and subduing. From then on, the reform will be carried out unimpeded, and no one will dare to stop him anymore.

What made Emperor Hongzhi furious was the amount of hidden land, "I never thought that a mere landlord's family would have more than 16,000 acres of hidden land. This is just hidden land. How much actual land does he have?"

If the country cannot collect taxes, then there are these insects!"

"Well done! Not only was it not done wrong, but it was done absolutely right. It was absolutely right! It was absolutely right! It was absolutely right!"

Zhu Youtang said three extreme things in a row, his cheeks turned red, this is his world, his country!

But now there are such a bunch of scoundrels in this world!

The national treasury cannot make ends meet every year, and people all over the world are impoverished. This is caused by these insects!

Each one of them occupied so much land, but they still tried to hide their property and avoid paying taxes from the court.

More than 16,000 acres of hidden land, this is such a terrifying number. Even though he is the emperor, he only owns hundreds of thousands of acres of land.

Dozens of rural landowners combined could own as many acres as the entire royal family!

"Now I have seen the so-called collusion between officials and gentry. An in-law can help conceal so many acres of land. Haha, and what about Wu Xian Cheng, who helped his uncle conceal thousands of acres?

Those with lower ranks hide less, and those with higher ranks hide more, haha, these are my good ministers of the Ming Dynasty, haha."

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi laughing abnormally even though he was clearly angry, and what was even more abnormal was that this smile was not an angry laugh, but even a softness and heartiness in his laughter. This contrast combined made people just feel

Feeling cold in his heart, Xiao Jing felt apprehensive and forced himself to speak, "Your Majesty."

As soon as the words were spoken, Emperor Hongzhi's laughter suddenly stopped, and then he calmed down strangely. There was no trace of happiness or anger on his face. He turned to look at Xiao Jing, "How to deal with this matter?"
