This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 543 Play for real!
After saying this, he raised his head and looked at Wen Ruyan. Wen Ruyan calmly said, "Any decision is made step by step. No one can guarantee the idea that you just put forward. Not a single flaw."

Hearing what he said, a smile appeared on Mr. Hong's face immediately, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wen Ruyan, who said again: "But, my Da Zhou is now It really needs to be changed, Master Hong, do you know how much my tax is for a year on New Year's Day?"

Without waiting for him to answer, Wen Ruyan said directly: "It's only about 600 million taels, and do you know how much silver is left in the treasury at this moment? There are less than 30 taels left, leaving aside Nanchu who is eyeing at the moment, I will The Great Zhou used troops against the Xiongnu every year. In the past year, the food, grass, and military expenses needed at least 800 million taels! Do you think the current figure can support the invasion of the Huns next year? If there is no change now, what will happen tomorrow? And If Nan Chu uses troops against my Great Zhou tomorrow, what should my Great Zhou do to resist?"

Mr. Hong blushed immediately when Wen Ruyan used his data to attack him so much, he couldn't say a word.

But he didn't speak, and immediately another official stood up and saluted Wen Ruyan directly: "Does Your Highness dare to guarantee that this policy will be implemented and the tax will increase tomorrow?"

Wen Ruyan looked at him calmly, and nodded firmly.

Master Fan suddenly smiled, but there was a bit of sarcasm in this smile: "What guarantee do you have?"

Wen Ruyan said at that time: "Use my superior head as a guarantee? Is Mr. Fan satisfied?"

After saying this, Wen Ruyan looked around and said directly to the audience: "This king will make this oath today! If this national policy is implemented and the tax revenue is not raised next year, this king will take his own head , I apologize to my father, to all my lords, and to the entire Great Zhou!"

As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of sucking sounds in the hall.

Your Highness is a bit ruthless, right?
Also, shouldn't this New Year's Eve be enjoyable with drinking wine and watching dances?

Why did the style of painting suddenly change to what it is now?
His Highness actually used his own head as a guarantee on such an important day, insisting on revising the national policy?
play for real?
When Master Fan heard what Wen Ruyan said, he was stunned and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Prime Minister Su Dinghe smiled, stood up and said to Wen Ruyan with a smile: "Since no one is talking now, please continue to talk, Your Highness. Your decision just now should be beaten by Mr. Fang before you finish speaking." Is it broken?"

Wen Ruyan nodded: "There is one last step!"

"Appreciate further details!"

"Calculate the mu and collect the silver, the official will close the official solution!"

Before Su Dinghe could speak in the future, General Yang Zhong who was sitting at the side without saying a word suddenly asked, "What do you mean?"

Wen Ruyan clasped his fists at Yang Chong, and then said: "Change all the servants to silver servants, and except for a few areas in the south of the Yangtze River that still collect real objects for the royal family, the rest have all been changed to Zhese, that is, In addition, taxes and levies are no longer handled by the village chiefs and grain chiefs, but are directly collected by local officials and released into the treasury. In this way, taxes are not collected in kind, saving the need for transportation and storage Fees; not collected by the Baojia staff on behalf, also avoiding the disadvantages of erosion and distribution.”

His words caused an uproar in the hall that had just calmed down.

Mr. Fang and the others had their hearts in their throats at that time. What kind of joke are you kidding? Originally, clearing the land has already harmed their interests. Where do local officials go to get kickbacks?And if they can't get kickbacks, what can they do to honor themselves?

Thinking of this, someone suddenly became anxious again.

Only one person stood up in a panic and said, "No way, no way."

Wen Ruyan immediately snorted softly, looked at him and said, "What advice does Master Wu have?"

I saw that Mr. Wu blushed anxiously and knelt down to Wen Ruyan and said, "Your Highness, changing the real thing into silver taels will never work!"

Wen Ruyan just looked at him like this, and asked, "Why?"

That Master Wu's face was red, and he ran out in a hurry, but he didn't think of any excuses at all, he only heard he hesitated and said: "Anyway, anyway, it won't work."

Wen Ruyan was laughed angrily by him at the time: "You don't give me any reason, and you dare to tell me that it won't work?"

"This this."

"Master Wu, let's go back and think about it before we speak!"

Hearing what Wen Ruyan said, before the rest of the officials could speak, General Yang Zhong suddenly said, "The official two taxes are silver. When paying taxes, the folks will convert grain and other output into silver. Therefore, when paying the two taxes, it is necessary to centralize the exchange with the merchants, and the merchants use this to raise the price of silver, which will damage the interests of the farmers. Is there a way to solve this problem, Your Highness?"

Yang Zhong's words hit the nail on the head, and he immediately pointed out the disadvantages of this policy.

Then Lord Wu said eagerly at that time: "That's right, the general is right, Your Highness, please think again!"

Wen Ruyan frowned, then looked at Yang Zhong and said, "To be honest, this king really didn't think of any way to solve this point?"

Master Wu's eyes lit up at that time, and he was about to answer, when he saw Wen Ruyan directly bowed to Yang Zhong and gave a slight salute, saying: "The general's words are reasonable, I admire you."

After saying this, Wen Ruyan didn't give everyone present a chance to speak again, but said directly: "Forget it, if that's the case, then I can only conduct experiments in my own fief first!"

"Jingzhou is located in the north, and it is actually the most barren place in my Great Zhou. From there, I don't think you will have any objections?"

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Regarding Wen Ruyan's words, they really didn't know how to refute them. Jingzhou was originally his fiefdom, where he could do whatever he wanted except for rebellion. Outsiders have no right to make irresponsible remarks. ?

Wen Ruyan turned around, bowed to Emperor Zhou and said, "I beg your father to fulfill you!"

Zhou Tianzi looked at him calmly, and said: "If you start from there, you will need to stay there for a long time. You just said that Jingzhou is poor. If you go there, you will inevitably suffer. You can think about it." gone?"

Wen Ruyan said firmly: "For the country and the people, it is my duty!"

At that time, Emperor Zhou clapped his hands and said, "What a duty, I agree!"

"Thank you, Father!"

The scene on the stage naturally caught the eyes of all the officials, and the dozens of people in the audience looked at each other again, then shook their heads helplessly.

They have all been in this court hall for many years, how can they not see the name of this hall?

The policy that His Highness Prince Jing announced tonight must have been approved by His Majesty long ago, right?
Otherwise, this matter is related to the foundation of the country, how could he agree so easily?

Thinking of this, many people looked at Prime Minister Su Dinghe.

The Prime Minister, I am afraid that he has also received His Majesty's instruction, right?
And the Minister of the Household Department looked at the general Yang Zhong who was still sitting there without any trace.

But I don't know what to think of.
