Chapter 1029: Weird Public Opinion in Yingtian City

Chapter 1029: Weird Public Opinion in Yingtian City
Inside the entire central military tent, the emperor and his ministers were both plunged into silence at this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang was thrown off guard by Mr. Hu's sudden "revelation of the truth."

As for Old Man Hu, he was reminiscing about the good mood he had just had while fanning the flames and having fun.

For him, he can clearly see some of the difficulties that the Ming Dynasty is facing now.

But there are some things he has actually said many times, but with little effect.

One of the most important issues is land annexation, a major issue that affects the dynasty cycle.

This matter is not some high-end topic like restricting imperial power.

After all, whether the imperial power is restricted or not, life can still go on as usual.

But if land annexation gets out of hand, there will be starving people all over the place and wars will break out everywhere.

But, no matter how much Mr. Hu says about these things, what can it do?
Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't dare to make this decision.

The gentry all paid taxes, all fire consumption was turned over to the public, and the tax was distributed according to the land!
There are only three, but each one is more severe than the last.

However, these three policies are clearly copied from others, and their effects are first-rate.

But what about Zhu Yuanzhang?
He hesitated!

He didn't dare to take the lead!
Even though he knew that once this was done, the financial and taxation situation of the Ming Dynasty would change drastically, he still hesitated.

Then, this hesitation lasted until Zhu Biao came to power.

In fact, regarding this benevolent emperor praised by many people, Mr. Hu felt that this fat boy was more courageous than his father in this matter.

In all likelihood, after his political power is consolidated, he will figure out a way to implement these three measures and completely eliminate the stubborn financial and taxation problems.

If that time really comes, Master Hu will really not be able to predict the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if they could pay more attention to technological development, the Ming Dynasty might have a good future.

Even if the Ming Dynasty had not made a big step into the Industrial Revolution, it would have definitely lasted longer than before, thanks to its better fiscal and taxation policies and the continuous absorption of money from overseas through trade and "suppression of banditry".

How much it can grow, I don’t know, but it will definitely grow!

After all, the growth of national strength, the easing of conflicts and the development of people's livelihood are changes that are visible to the naked eye.

When Master Hu thought about it this way, he suddenly realized that he had accidentally created a monster.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was simply committing a foul.

Moreover, Master Hu was thinking about something.

That is, if the Northern Yuan Dynasty can be destroyed in one battle this time, and the consumption is not that great, will Zhu Yuanzhang drag me to Liaodong, and then drag me to destroy Goryeo?
Oh, and Japan!

When the time comes, we will most likely go to visit our friends on the island countries who are living a good life, and offer them some warmth and free trade.

Of course, by the way, the famous Iwami Ginzan is seriously polluted, so shouldn’t we help deal with it?
So, a little calculation...

Damn, there are so many things to do!

While the two were silent, there was quite a commotion in Yingtian City, hundreds of miles away.

No one knew who spread the news at first, but it was said that a servant in the Hu Mansion was bribed and poisoned the young lady of the Hu Mansion and the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty.

Wow, this is really full of explosive points.

Royal family, nobles, conspiracies, homes...

It also involves the Zhu family and the Hu family, two of the most powerful families in the Ming Dynasty. It would be strange if this matter did not cause a stir.

But even though the news spread, those well-informed people in the officialdom who were famous in the past were all silent this time.

Almost nothing is clear or understood.

Seeing many people scratching their heads anxiously, another group of smart people felt their scalps tingling.

"Sir, do you think this is true or false?"

Fang Xiaoru happened to have some free time at the moment, so he asked Xie Jin, who happened to be on day off, to have a drink. When they were drunk, they couldn't help but talk about this hot topic recently.

Xie Jin is now the political secretary of the Prime Minister of Huaxia. Of course, he is one of them! There are several other secretaries.

So it is not surprising that Fang Xiaoru, out of curiosity, asked Xie Jin for information.

But when Xie Jin heard Fang Xiaoru's question, he looked at Fang Xiaoru as if he were a fool.

Fang Xiaoru was almost getting hairy from that look and almost jumped up.

"No, what do you mean by that look?"

"Isn't it okay to ask this question?"

Xie Jin shook his head speechlessly.

"Xiao Fang, are you really that dumb or have you never thought about it at all?"

"Didn't you notice that those who were more informed than me didn't spread a single word?"

"It's not just one or two people, it's everyone!"

"What do you think this means?"

Fang Xiaoru frowned, still a little confused.

"represents what?"

"Doesn't that mean that people don't know?"

“What’s the matter?

"Others may not know, but how could you not know?"

"You are now a close minister to the emperor, and you have a lot of contact with Mr. Hu and others. It's impossible that even you don't know, right?"

Hearing Fang Xiaoru's matter-of-fact answer, Xie Jin simply slapped himself in the face in silence.

When Fang Xiaoru saw Xie Jin's performance, he finally had some bad thoughts in his mind.

He shrank his neck, looked around, and then asked cautiously.

"Well, sir, is there something taboo here that I'm not aware of?"

"But isn't this just a family matter?"

"Why did it become so earth-shattering?"

When Xie Jin heard Fang Xiaoru still chattering, he finally couldn't help it. He picked up a chicken leg on the table and stuffed it into the other's mouth.

"Xiao Fang, please help me!"

"If you can't figure it out, can you just think about it slowly?"

"I've made it so obvious, why do you keep harping on about this?"

"You also said that this is a family matter, but it involves two families with too many famous names."

"Then why do you keep asking about other people's houses?"

"I beg you, just eat your food and drink your wine, okay?"

Fang Xiaoru had his mouth gagged by the chicken leg, and after listening to Xie Jin's almost straightforward words, he finally understood.

"Oh, now I understand."

"It turns out that those well-informed people are not unaware of the news, but are just not in a position to say it, and do not dare to say it?"

"If that's the case, then there really is something big going on here!"

Xie Jin looked at Fang Xiaoru who was still chattering there and shook his head speechlessly.

Forget it, Xiaofang’s brain is hopeless.
