Article 2 of the new law: reduce taxes and reward farming.

This decree will naturally not have any conflict of interests for the nobles, but will instead save the nobles a large amount of taxes that need to be paid.

After all, most of the land in the entire Song Dynasty was occupied by nobles, and the nobles were also the main taxpayers.

While reducing taxes benefit the people, the nobles naturally benefited greatly.

Article 3 of the new law is to impose commercial taxes.

This decree has truly touched the interests of the nobles. Although the merchants in the mainland of Jiuzhou were of low status, almost all the nobles secretly controlled many merchants and used them to earn money for them.

Before this, because of the low status of merchants and the government did not impose any commercial taxes, the nobles used merchants to earn a lot of money.

But now that the government has begun to impose high commercial taxes, how can these nobles be willing?

Article 4 of the new law: No matter how high or low the status is, only talent is to be promoted.

The promulgation of this decree caused a stir in the entire Shangqiu City. Even many scholars with indifferent temperament changed their color after seeing this decree.

For a long time, the entire Jiuzhou has followed the saying that there are nobility and humbleness in life. There is an unparalleled gap between nobles, powerful people and ordinary people, and it is basically impossible to cross it.

When Haotian emerged and powerful warriors began to emerge, civilians were qualified to gain social status through martial arts practice, and even truly entered the official career.

However, compared with those powerful families with long-standing inheritance, these families formed with the personal strength of warriors are still a bit lonely and have no impact on the old nobles.

However, the promulgation of this decree, regardless of status, high and low, will definitely subvert the talent acquisition system of the entire Song Dynasty. Many poor disciples may occupy a large number of official positions with their own talents.

In this way, the benefits that the nobles can have will be fundamentally touched.

Therefore, except for the eight veins of the Song Dynasty, almost all the nobles in Shangqiu City began to write to Duke Song, demanding that this decree be abolished.

They used the banner that the ancestral teachings should not be abolished and the rituals should not be changed without permission, and strongly condemned Huan Chang's actions that violated traditions and deviated from the classics.

If the reforms were just some small nobles jumping around, then now even many large nobles have begun to connect and strongly resist the new law.

However, just as many nobles wrote letters, the fifth decree was promulgated again, which made the major nobles in Shangqiu City even more stunned.

Article 5 of the new law: training new troops and awarding military merits.

Titles are always symbols of status. Even the nobles with the lowest level titles are all families with a long history.

In the past, even if some poor children were lucky enough to be in a high position, they would have almost no chance of getting a title.

This also makes the title a symbol of the nobles' heritage. No matter how powerful a family without the title is, it is impossible for them to truly join the ranks of nobles.

Even those generals who made many military achievements would not have been able to obtain titles without their strong family background.

But now, according to the new law, as long as you can make enough military achievements, even ordinary soldiers may obtain titles. This is simply provoking all nobles who have titles.

The nobles in the entire Shangqiu City were truly angry.

Not only that, even the nobles in the city not far from Shangqiu were furious after receiving the news and began to launch all relations, preparing to boycott this reform.

In Shangqiu City, a simple-dressed man was carrying a simple spear behind him. He quietly looked at the notice sticking to the wall, and his face slowly showed an excited expression.

"Can military merit award be awarded? Can military merit award be awarded really?"

The man was in his early thirties and was extremely calm, but his face was always filled with a hint of fatigue.

However, when he really saw the contents of the notice, his fists couldn't help but clenched tightly, and the excitement in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

The man's name is Wu Jing. His family had the lowest title more than a hundred years ago. Although he was not a great nobleman, he was also very powerful in the local area.

However, Wu Jing's family gradually declined. At that time, Grandpa Wu Jing was exempted from his title due to some mistakes, and the Wu family really became unfair.

By Wu Jing's generation, the Wu family was no longer different from the real civilians, but Wu Jing still kept in mind his father's teachings before his death and must make a name for himself and restore his ancestors' glory.

Wu Jing has good martial arts talent, and has also experienced many adventures in the process of exploring the world. There are few enemies in his hand.

However, Wu Jingzhi is not in the world but in the temple.

If you want to restore your ancestors' glory, you must obtain a title. After Wu Jing achieved some martial arts, he joined the military.

Because Wu Jing is very skilled in martial arts and is brave enough to charge and is highly valued by the general, and his military position is also rising steadily.

However, because of his identity, Wu Jing was still unable to obtain a title through military merits because of his extraordinary identity. At most, he was just a lieutenant position.

Compared with titles that can be passed down from generation to generation, this kind of military position has no comparison at all.

Wu Jing worked hard for several years before giving up completely, then resigned from his official position and began to wander in the State of Song, hoping to find an opportunity.

However, Wu Jing, who had been traveling for more than a year, found that he was just wasting his time.

Although Wu Jing's martial arts skills can gain enough status whether he joins the government or joins the great nobles, he will still be impossible to obtain a title.

Just when Wu Jing was discouraged, he saw the decree of military merits and the excitement in his heart was imagined.

"This is a new law promulgated by the General. The General's words are all done. If I join the army now, with my ability, it will definitely be no problem to get a title."

Taking a few deep breaths, Wu Jing calmed down the turbulent emotions in his heart, and then walked towards the recruitment place of the new army without hesitation.

The formation of a new army that appeared clearly in the new law was not just an empty talk. At the same time as this decree was promulgated, Huan Chang had already begun to recruit new army.

Not far from the recruitment of the new army, Huan Chang walked slowly on the street with four guards, quietly listening to the discussions of the people on the street.

In the crowd, more than a dozen people dressed in civilians lowered their heads and walked towards Huan Chang.

But Wu Jing was about to go to the recruitment office of the new army when he suddenly heard someone beside him exclaiming: "Oh my God, that's the general. These new laws were promulgated by the general!"

Following the direction pointed by the passerby's fingers, Wu Jing happened to see Huan Chang with four guards, and the light in his eyes became hot.

But soon, Wu Jing discovered more than a dozen people dressed in civilians and walked towards Huan Chang in several teams, and his face changed drastically.

"Be careful, General!"
