Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 550 Good news!
As time passes by little by little.

Due to the extensive search and oppression of the people in the south, these nobles gathered together to look at the reported accounts, and all of them burst into laughter.

Mr. Wang: "It seems that the effect this time is very good, [-]% higher than in previous years."

"Thanks to Mr. Wang for coming up with such a good idea, we have this good result!" An official laughed.

Master Wang frowned: "Didn't everyone decide this together? How could it be the official's idea?"

The atmosphere at the scene froze, and then the person realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly laughed and said: "Yes, yes, it is an idea that everyone thought about together. Anyway, now that the tax is coming up, we in the south will shine this time, for sure. If you can suppress Wu Zhi, no matter how bad you are, you won't let him show off!"

Only then did Master Wang's face soften.

Everyone said something to me, drank and chatted, and was in a good mood.

In fact, they often discussed taxation at their gatherings before, and some of them proposed that if taxes were to be raised, all officials in each city should pay taxes. In this way, the amount of taxes paid by southern officials is also huge.

Many officials' families have a lot of fertile land, real estate, and business connections. If they are also taxed, it is indeed a good way to increase the tax amount.

It's just that no one agrees, they don't agree with this approach, and they don't want to spend their own money.

In the end, everyone had no choice but to put their ideas on the common people, and took action, and the result was successful.

Fat Lord Wang, who had a fat head and big ears, and was wearing brocade clothes, said again: "Although the taxation effect this time is very good, but if you want to surpass Wu Zhi, these are not enough for the sake of safety!"

"My lord means..." An official understood something.

Mr. Wang smiled and said: "You pass on the order to ask your subordinates to collect again, and try to collect [-]% more. There must be many people who have food hidden in their homes!"

"These people, no matter how you collect them, they must still have food hidden in their homes. At most, leave them some rations, and the rest must be handed over. The people's harvest last year was very good. It is a waste to put the surplus food with them. It is better to hand it over. Act as a tax score for us!"

"Well, what Mr. Wang said is reasonable. It is enough for these common people to have enough to eat. Let them become rich, and we officials will have no money. I will order my subordinates to do it."

"What Master Wang said is that I will do it after I go back."

The officials agreed without even thinking about it.

Because of this search, they can also take part of it.

The more they search, the richer they become.

For a while, the officers and soldiers were dispatched again, and the common people were miserable.

"Oh my god, what should I do if this goes on? My family has run out of food and they won't let it go. What kind of world is this!"

"Is there any king's law? There is no one to take care of such a big matter."

"My house was searched yesterday, and there is nothing left. They are still here today. How can we survive? The food is gone, and there are only some steamed buns left."

"We ordinary people have no power, so what can we do if we can't control them. God, please open your eyes and see..."

Many people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

Although the nobles in the south knew the current situation of the people, they ignored them.

Their task is to unite and prevent Wu Zhi from introducing new laws, so they have to make a fuss about taxes.

In fact, they also know that the bulk of the tax revenue is actually from the local big landlords and wealthy businessmen, but they dare not offend a large number of wealthy businessmen and landlords, because these people have more or less backgrounds behind them. If they are collected, it will be a bad thing. You can go to Bianjing City.

The nobles don't care about these people, they just expropriate the common people, and the rich businessmen and landlords will also care about it in order to maintain a good relationship with the official uniform, but this is already the limit. As for the common people's affairs, they are too lazy to take care of them , as long as you have nothing to do.

Anyway, they and the officials are on the same boat.

The people in the south were crying for their fathers and mothers, but the officials were anxious to put the collected grain on the carriage and transport it to the warehouse.

Looking at the tall granaries piled up in the warehouse, the officials were overjoyed.

All of them were fat-headed and big-eared, pointing at the food and talking about it.Red-faced joy.

"The tax revenue this time is [-] million or [-] million more than last year. He is definitely not as good as us in the north."

"This time the officials will know whether the new law is better or our previous system is better. It can be seen from the tax revenue that we are stronger than him. So what reason is there for the new law to be implemented?"

After doing this, the officials in the south will send people to send letters to the senior officials in Bianjing City to communicate and communicate.

Huang Chuan, Zhao Shu and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news.

Zhao Shu knew all these things, because Zhao Shu was likely to be the prince in the future, and there were many people who flattered him. Everyone was in the same camp, so naturally they had to join hands to deal with Wu Zhi.

"Great!" Zhao Shu was excited. If so, the new law will be blocked. This is great news.

Among them, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Wang Ping.

Minister of Rites, Li Tian.

Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Feng Gong.

Also the censor Shen Wei, Wang Fu, Cai Jing and others were very excited.

Shen Weidao: "It turns out that the south side still has such strength, this time we won!"

"It may be that the climate in the south is stable, and the harvest this year is good! With these results, we can talk!"

Cai Jing was in the mansion, looking at some envelopes, a burst of joy filled his heart: "Okay! The South is so superior, this time I see how the military minister mentioned the new law of the Central Plains, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Cai You said with a smile: "Father, as long as our taxation is secure this time, there is no reason for Wu Zhi's new law to be implemented. At that time, the interests of scholar-bureaucrats will not be damaged, and Wu Zhi's prestige can also be suppressed. If it succeeds, Wu Zhi will return later." What kind of tricks can you play!"

Hearing this, Cai Jing shook his head: "Everything is waiting for the court to discuss. Although we have achieved enough achievements this time, we should not be complacent. The nobles in the south have also gathered their energy this time, and the court will see who they are. If Wu Zhi is not as good as it is, His Majesty will not be able to persist."

Cai Jing is still on the side of the south in his heart. He believes that with this result, he will not be worse than him.

Cai Jing belongs to the kind who can't help Wu Zhi now, but hopes to see Wu Zhi step down behind his back.

If Wu Zhi comes down, he will definitely hide in the bed and laugh. Once Wu Zhi loses power, the handle of Longevity Mountain is actually not important.

Because he has no power, everything Wu Zhi says is just sophistry, and there is no chance of fairness, and he, Cai Jing, will restore the former glory of the court.

Cai Jing was still looking forward to it, but he didn't underestimate Wu Zhi, because this young man often has some unexpected things.

Anyway, Wu Zhi didn't dare to say anything in court.

Today, it's time to go to court.

All the nobles from the south are here.

Including the Shangshu of several departments in Bianjing City.

Especially at the moment Zhao Shu seemed a little complacent and couldn't hide his joy.

"Dear dears, the tax revenues for this year have all come up. I'm hearing good news from you all today!"

Song Huizong's voice was transmitted to the main hall, and all civil and military officials cheered up.

Wu Zhi, on the other hand, closed his eyes and meditated.

He knew that Song Huizong supported the new law, which was in his own interest, so he must stand on his side.

Song Huizong wanted to hear good news from Wu Zhi's side, not from the south.

No emperor would refuse Wu Zhi's proposal to hand over the farmland to Song Huizong as his private Huangzhuang after the establishment of the new law.

Wu Zhi has one thing to do, that is to guarantee the interests of Song Huizong, and the second is the interests of the people of the world.

The interests of the people in the world are naturally the common people. After all, those officials are a minority, but these few people occupy [-]% of the resources, which is naturally something he can't understand.

Only by guaranteeing the interests of the officials can Wu Zhi stand firm and do things that benefit the country and the people.

It also satisfied his own ideas of reforming the Song Dynasty.

He had heard about things in the south, but he wanted to see what tricks they could pull off this time.

This is also some price that Wu Zhi must pay as a reformer.

In order to resist him, some officials will harm the interests of the people even more. In a certain situation, it is caused by Wu Zhi, but Wu Zhi must do this, because once the new law is implemented and the reform is successful, it will definitely give the people ten times, a hundred times interest feedback.

Compared with this point, short-term damage is also essential.
