Farming and teaching across different worlds

Not so pleasing, especially every time he wants to propose some reforms, this person often shows abnormal stubbornness and conservativeness because of being too upright.

He had thought before that if he wanted to implement the new tax system this time, he would definitely encounter fierce opposition from this lord.

Sure enough, when Yu Mi saw him coming out, her head began to ache.

Yu Mi raised her hand and rubbed her throbbing forehead, and asked, "Master Gu, why not?"

Lord Shoufu Gu looked serious, and said in a firm tone: "This tax system was formulated by our ancestors, how can we change it at will, and besides, such a reform involves a wide range of things, which may cause public anger and turmoil."

At this time, another adult also came out, and continued: "Such a reform requires a lot of manpower. Now the top and bottom are performing their duties, and it is not easy to allocate. I am afraid that it will be difficult to come up with so many manpower for a while."

After this one finished speaking, the other came out and said: "And the shops registered and taxed in this new policy also include princes and nobles, which is terrifyingly inappropriate."

Who doesn't have a shop yet, and once the new policy comes out, the privileged class will have to register and pay taxes, so how can it be done.

The reason why these people are so fiercely opposed is not because this new policy violates their direct interests.

Hearing these people's high-sounding objections, Ji Xiuran curled his lips and smiled disdainfully. In the final analysis, isn't this New Deal offending the interests of most people?

As far as he is concerned, these privileged classes are used to enjoying it, just let them pay a little tax and fulfill their obligations as the people of Daxia. This one or two are as excited as if they want to kill his whole family. Don't look down on these people.

Listening to what they said, I criticized the New Deal for nothing, the veins on the forehead of Yu Mi, who was sitting in the seat, swelled up, and with a "pop", he slapped the armrest, and glanced coldly at the people who were speaking passionately .

These people had just heard the content of the New Deal, and they were so excited for a moment that they couldn't hold back their words. Now that they heard the emperor's movement, they all suddenly reacted, felt the emperor's anger, and immediately calmed down. Frightened cold sweat drenched.

Seeing the changed faces of everyone, Yu Mi slowly retracted her gaze, but her voice was still cold and asked: "Since everyone disagrees, how can we solve the corruption of ink, tax and money in various places? I think you all have a better solution." Ways, let’s talk about it now and listen to it.”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at everyone lightly, and everyone who was caught by his glance all gave a "click" in their hearts at the same time.

Just now I was thinking about my own interests and blindly opposed it, but now I realized that the most fundamental purpose of implementing the New Deal is to clear up Daxia's tax revenue.

To evaluate objectively, this new policy is indeed a wonderful way to clear and rectify Daxia's taxation. It was difficult for them to come up with a better way than this for a while, and they suddenly fell silent.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Yu Mi slowly leaned back on the chair, casually put her hands on the handles, closed her eyes expressionlessly, and asked casually, "What's wrong? You're dumb?"

Everyone was startled by this plain question. Anyone who knows the emperor knows that he is the most angry at this time.

Those who could not speak back quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Only Gu Shoufu hesitated and did not kneel down together. He stood there angrily looking at the people who had agreed with him just now, and all of them turned against him at this moment.

Yu Xian raised his eyes slowly, looked at Gu Shoufu who was standing at the top, and asked, "What's your opinion, Master Gu?"

Only then did Gu Shoufu knelt down, pouted his neck and said: "I don't have any high opinions, but I still think it's inappropriate for a minister to do this. If the emperor insists on doing this, then take off this official hat first."

After listening to Yu Mi, there was no change on her face, she just said calmly: "Master Gu is serious, since Master Gu said so, then let's rest at home."

Gu lord did not expect that the emperor would really deal with him. He was stunned for a moment, and then thanked Lord Long En in despair, and then his whole body sank down.

Yu Mi raised her eyes and glanced at the others lightly, and asked, "If you have any other opinions, let's share them together."

Seeing that Mr. Gu, who has always been respected by the emperor, has been repaired, the bystanders are even more afraid to stand out, and immediately stop thinking about it, and the hall is suddenly quiet.

Seeing everyone's reaction like this, Yu Mi knew that no one would come out to object again, so she turned her head to look at the Minister of the Household Department and asked, "Master Wu, what do you think?"

When Wu Shangshu heard the emperor pointing to him, his body froze immediately, he immediately stepped out, and replied respectfully: "The minister seconded the proposal."

After hearing this, Yu Mi raised her head and glanced at him lightly, and said, "Very well, after all, finance and taxation are the responsibility of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the implementation of this new policy depends on the members of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I am very relieved that Mr. Wu is so clear. .”

Wu Shangshu immediately thanked the emperor for the compliment, and retreated to the queue, not feeling much happy because of the compliment, all the bitterness could only be swallowed in his stomach.

Yu Mi glanced at everyone again, and asked again: "Is there anyone else who has a different opinion?"

At this time, Gongsun Zizhan, who had been standing by the side, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think that what your lords have just said is indeed true. You should seriously consider it. I suggest that you first implement the New Deal in one state, and at the same time spread it all over the country." Implement part of the New Deal, take it as an excess, wait until the time is right, and then implement it throughout the country.”

Yu Mi listened, nodded thoughtfully, and agreed, "What Gongsun Aiqing said is true, so it is decided that Ji Jun, the servant of the household department, will come out."

Ji Xiuran immediately got out of the queue and knelt down on the ground. Yu Mi then announced: "Ji Jun listens to the order. I order you to be in charge of all matters related to the trial implementation of the New Deal. Wu Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, will come out."

Wu Shangshu hurriedly stood up and knelt down to listen to the order. Yu Mi said again: "Shangshu Wu Jin and everyone in the household department will fully cooperate with Ji Jun, and nothing will be lost."

Both of them saluted and accepted the order, and Yu Xian calmed down, glanced at Congren lightly, and said, "Let's retreat." Get up and get off Danxi, and walk into the palace.

At this time, everyone knelt down to send the emperor off one after another, and when they stood up, they all exchanged looks with ugly faces.

When they got out of the gate of the palace, they gathered together in threes and fives, sighed sadly, and when they saw the people from the household department coming out, they immediately glared at each other.

This finance and taxation has always been the responsibility of the Ministry of Households. This time the new policy must have been made by the Ministry of Households, but they didn't give everyone a heads-up before the announcement. It really pissed them off.

Some really couldn't get angry, so they went to Wu Shangshu immediately, and sneered, making Wu Shangshu suffer so much that he couldn't say it clearly even if he was blamed, but he was wronged badly.

The whole person became sluggish, sighed, and then walked out slowly.

Seeing him like this, Ji Xiuran took two quick steps, walked up to him, and said in a low voice, "Master Wu doesn't have to be like this. After the new policy is implemented successfully, the emperor will definitely remember your achievements, and Mr. Wu will also be famous in history."

Master Wu's eyes lit up when he heard his words, he thought that this matter is a foregone conclusion, it is better to implement it well, maybe the emperor can really remember his own credit, and there will be a big reward at that time, thinking of this, he will no longer be sluggish, straighten up Straining his back, he walked out with breezy steps.

Chapter 162

Standing behind him, Ji Xiuran watched Master Wu get up his spirits, and smiled slightly. He will need the cooperation of Master Wu in many things after that. It is impossible not to appease him first. Fortunately, although this person is timid and fearful, he is very happy. It's easy to deal with this.

Just when Ji Xiuran was standing there proudly because he comforted Mr. Wu, a voice came from behind: "Xiuran can feel at ease now, and will go all out in the future."

Ji Xiuran turned his head and saw Gongsun Zizhan walking slowly, and replied with a smile: "It went so smoothly, thanks to brother Gongsun's ingenious plan, Xiuran will definitely live up to the high expectations of the emperor and brother Gongsun."

It turned out that when they met to discuss this matter, in the end Gongsunzi thought that everyone would strongly oppose him, so he proposed a compromise, and even agreed to help Ji Xiuran act in this scene.

In fact, this matter was originally started by Ji Xiuran, and it was supposed to be played by Ji Xiuran at the court meeting, which was in line with the rules, but Gongsun Zizhan considered that others were soft-spoken at the time, if he was allowed to play, he would definitely become the target of public criticism, and everyone had no scruples and opposed it It will be more intense, so he came up with an idea and asked the emperor to propose it. In this way, there will be fewer eyes on Ji Xiuran, and the next steps will be much more convenient.

Although Gongsun Zizhan's proposal was made for the implementation of the New Deal, it also had the purpose of protecting Ji Xiuran.

Ji Xiuran understood his painstaking efforts, so he was naturally grateful.

He took the initiative to raise an issue: "Brother Gongsun, setting up a commercial and tax department for trial in one state must require a trustworthy and reliable leader. I wonder if Brother Gongsun has any recommendations?"

This is Ji Xiuran's reciprocation, taking the initiative to raise this matter is an opportunity for Gongsun Zizhan to install a trustworthy person.

Gongsun Zizhan knew it, smiled tacitly, and replied: "Brother, I will think about it when I go back."

Ji Xiuran saw that he agreed to this matter, he also smiled, and said: "Then Jun Jing waits for the good news of Brother Gongsun."

Although the New Deal has not been implemented nationwide, except for the establishment of the Commercial Tax Department, several other items must be implemented nationwide, and soon the decree to reform the Commercial Tax will be distributed to all states except the selected states for trial implementation of the New Deal.

The chosen one to try out the New Deal is Chongzhou, and this state has the most serious problems in Ji Xiuran's tax books.

The emperor wanted to thoroughly investigate the state's tax affairs at that time. After the thorough investigation, the state officials must come
