Lin Haoran noticed Xu Jie's gloating eyes, but he looked at the officials present and said: "Registration of people is the political philosophy of my elders. This spring and autumn, the two taxes are decreasing day by day. The Ministry of Revenue has already reached a conclusion on this matter!"

Having said this, his eyes were already looking at Mason, who was standing not far away.

Ma Sen had reached a consensus with Lin Haoran, and Dang even responded: "Yes, this year's taxes and grains have continued to decline, and this matter has reached a point where it is urgent to delay! If the court does not pay attention to it, the Ming Dynasty will be weak, and it may even cause a catastrophe."

The officials present couldn't help but secretly exchange glances. Although they really wanted to stop the registration of unruly people, they had to face the fact that tax revenue was declining.

If none of them are willing to stand up and solve this problem, then things will only get worse, and I'm afraid they will really regret it by then.

Zhang Shouzhi knew very well that this unruly civil registration system could not be implemented no matter what, so he said in a deep voice: "Ma Shangshu, you are making alarmist remarks here. The imperial court's annual grain tax revenue is 20 million dan. As long as the household expenditure is appropriate, such a huge amount can be achieved.

What harm can be done to the grain tax revenue?”

"If there is really a problem, the imperial court will cut expenditures!"

“The improper handling of such a large fiscal revenue is due to the incompetence of the Ministry of Revenue!”

"The ancestral system cannot be neglected, but this unfavorable registration system is absolutely unfeasible!"

…

When the officials present heard Zhang Shouzhi emphasize the court's 20 million shi of grain tax revenue, they all sided with Zhang Shouzhi, but they stood firm in their attitude.

When Ma Sen heard these remarks, he wanted to throw the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue in their faces. The 20 million stone grain tax could no longer cover the court's expenses.

When Lin Haoran saw this scene, he knew that these people claimed to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but actually taking money from their pockets to give to the country simply touched their souls.

It's just that he is not willing to be a courageous reformer, especially since he neither has enough power nor has Long Qing's absolute trust, so naturally he cannot risk the disapproval of the world.

Lin Haoran met the eyes of all the officials and said calmly: "The ancients said: Don't do evil because it's small, don't do good because it's small. This is how we should govern the country today. If we don't take precautions, it will only make things worse.

It’s serious. Today’s taxes and grains are declining, and the court’s expenditures are increasing. If there is no immediate concern, there will be long-term worries. However, the unruly registration of civilians does violate the ancestral system. I am willing to take a step back. This time, I will only try it in Su Song.

Don’t get involved elsewhere!”

"Trial Su Song?"

When the officials who were kneeling to oppose the unruly people's registration heard Lin Haoran's assurance, they couldn't help but silently exchange glances, and then silently looked at Xu Jie next to them.

Lin Haoran's move was obviously not to be a reformer against everyone's wishes, but to target Xu Jie in a targeted manner, but to expose Xu Jie's ugly face to the world through a book of unruly people.

I am afraid that the comprehensive implementation of the Diaomin register is a lie. The real intention is still to fight against the party, but it is to use this move to pull Xu Jie from the throne of the chief minister.

"Your Majesty, the late Emperor has already made a conclusion on the registration of unruly people, and it is not appropriate to try it out. Please think again, Your Majesty!" Xu Jie immediately knelt down and petitioned, regardless of the stones on the ground.

"Mr. Xu Ge, the late emperor's mausoleum is right in front. The late emperor only said that it was not yet time to implement the system of unruly people. When did he say that it was not appropriate to try it out?" Lin Haoran frowned slightly, and immediately stood up and asked with a clear attitude.

road.

"The late emperor was as wise as Yao and Shun, but he had already seen that the unruly civil registration was against the ancestral system and was not suitable for implementation! The late emperor did not say that he would implement it, but he wanted to leave some face for you, so this policy will definitely not be implemented.

Try it!" Xu Jie endured the pain in his knees, but said firmly.

"The previous emperor was as sage as Yao and Shun, but the present emperor also has the appearance of a sage king. There is a strong army to protect the Spring and Autumn Festival, but the Tatars dare not come, so this place is already stronger than the previous emperor! The current emperor also knows that it is not suitable for the whole country

What’s wrong with promoting the registration of unruly people, but it’s just a trial?” Lin Haoran first complimented Long Qing, and then argued with reason.

Long Qing saw that Xu Jie still wanted to argue, so he expressed his position directly: "This is Master Gao's request before he left, and I have already agreed to him! What's more, I also think Mr. Lin Ge's plan is very good. The imperial court is not the whole country.

It’s a trial run, why not give it a try first?”

Although he didn't know why so many people opposed Diao Minzhi, he just agreed to Gao Gong and it was just a trial, so he still agreed with the plan in his heart.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Haoran immediately complimented Long Qing when he saw Long Qing's public statement.

"Your Majesty!" Ma Sen and other officials saw Lin Haoran's statement and responded one after another.

The officials present heard that Long Qing and Lin Haoran had been emphasizing that the trial implementation was not to fully implement the Diaomin Register, but they knew that the Diaomin Register would probably not involve them.

Many officials exchanged glances and saw that the holy family was already on Lin Haoran's side, but they stood back to Lin Haoran's camp again and said: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming!"

"It's... damn!"

Although Xu Jie wanted to stop all this, seeing Long Qing's attitude, he knew that there was nothing he could do to dissuade him at this time, and he couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.

But he never expected that Gao Gong would actually plant this landmine for himself before leaving, giving Lin Haoran a sharp weapon against him.

The most important thing is that through the confrontation about Diao Minzhi just now and the way Long Qing looked at him, Long Qing was probably even more convinced that he had forced Gao Gong to leave.

When things got to this point, he realized that he really should not have taken the lead in forcing Gao Gong away instead of Lin Haoran. As a result, his relationship with Long Qing worsened day by day, making Lin Haoran the biggest beneficiary.

"Teacher, I'm afraid I'm in big trouble!"

Zhang Juzheng had been standing by silently. When he saw that Long Qing supported the trial implementation of the Diaomin Register on Su Song, he knew that Lin Haoran was going to take action against his teacher.

Although it is not known whether Gao Gong's treatment of Songjiang prefect Zang Jifang was premeditated, Lin Haoran's earlier promotion of Hai Rui to the Songjiang prefecture had already laid the groundwork for "Su Song's trial implementation of the system of unruly people".

Regardless of whether Hai Rui has joined Lin Haoran or not, Hai Rui's official style must be to handle official business. Once the system of registering unruly people is tried in Songzhou Prefecture, even if the matter involves tax evasion by the chief minister of the dynasty, Hai Rui will definitely not do it.

Turn one eye and close one eye.

Just like this, Hai Rui and Diao Mince were Lin Haoran's two-step chess pieces, but they could put his teacher in a situation of eternal disaster.

The sky is overcast today, but I can't tell the specific time.

After repeated urging from officials, Long Qing took a greedy look at the infinite autumn light at the foot of the mountain, and then reluctantly walked down the mountain. If he wanted to appreciate such scenery again, he would have to wait until spring next year.
