I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 801
As Su Song expected, after the sale ended, farm tools accounted for nearly [-]% of the proceeds from the sale... There is no one among the so-called gentry who passed on farming and reading, who does not know the size of the market for farm tools.

It was also during various celebration banquets that the news published in "Shi Lun" also spread among the courtiers.

"Once the agricultural tools sold this time are put on the market, I am afraid that the number of customers will also be reduced by [-]%. How to arrange these customers, the court will face another difficulty."

"What's the problem? There is no shortage of hired workers in that state capital now? There are still not enough slaves from foreign races."

"The imperial court will not prohibit the trading of slaves, will it?"

"It's hard to say... this is troublesome. Once the foreign slaves are banned..."

"Isn't it enough to use customers?"

"Can this be compared? The client is a citizen of the Song Dynasty, a good citizen registered in the government office, and protected by the laws of the Song Dynasty. This is not the case for foreign slaves. Besides, how can the salary used by the client be comparable to that of foreign slaves? "

The discussions at various banquets may be different, but they basically focus on the issue of the reduction of customers, that is, the number of tenants, and also on the issue of whether the imperial court will prohibit the trading of foreign slaves.

You elders, you have also seen the content published in "Shi Lun".

"Does Fu Xiang know the utility of those farm tools sold this time?"

Han Qi came to the door, and after seeing the content published in "Shi Lun", he hurried to Fu Bi's house for consultation without caring about celebrating with his shopkeeper.

"The old man does know."

"What does the official mean?"

"The old man has already said that the government intends to prohibit Dingkou trading. This is justified, and the ministers have no reason to object."

Han Qi understood, not only understood the issue of agricultural tax reduction and foreign slave trading, but also understood the purpose of the government to let the workshop city rush to sell farm tools...the government has kept their face.

"Brother Yan Guo, Han Qi believes that the reduction and exemption of agricultural taxes will benefit the country's long-term stability and governance.

That's it, if there is no rush sale of innovative farm tools today, I'm afraid Han Zhigui...forget it, doesn't he, Fu Bi, also know about the innovation of farm tools?Didn't he, Fu Bi, also let the officials postpone the complete no agricultural tax?

Not all people are sages, they all have selfishness.

"Sir, Mr. Zhang Ge is asking to see..."

Zhang Fangping also came to the door after the family steward spread the word...

Fu Bi let himself go to the yamen until he fell asleep, and he received all the elders in the cabinet except Wang Anshi and Lu Gong.Such a situation gave Fu Bi only one feeling: the cabinet really should be replaced.

The next day, no one expected that the article on reducing or exempting agricultural taxes would have such a big response, and "Shi Lun" had to issue a supplement to publish too many signed commentary articles.

When the elders in the court consulted Fu Bi in a daze, all the young and important ministers began to speak out and signed articles to support the imperial court's implementation of agricultural tax reduction.

As for the so-called ban on the trading of foreign slaves by the imperial court, it seems that no one has noticed, and there has been no sound at all...
They are all masters!Even Zhao Xi had to sigh with emotion.

After this operation, as long as he was not blinded by the interests, he could understand Zhao Xi's purpose.Farm tax, tenants, plowing, hired labor, foreign slaves, farm equipment sales, all the affairs are connected, it is not difficult to understand the real purpose.

"Shameless You!"

Han Qi said.It was a bad taste, very bad, for a cabinet to be stabbed like this at the end of the curtain call.

But who can be blamed?This is Fu Bi's emotion.If at the beginning of the discussion, they were not so entangled in the status difference between the grassroots and the gentry, and did not care so much about the conflict of interests, how could there be such a result?
It could have been a perfect curtain call.

In this term, the cabinet fought in Hedong, Pingxixia, and took over Dali, expanding the territory of the Great Song Dynasty thousands of miles away.Not to mention internal affairs. By the 21st year of Zhenghe, the imperial tax revenue had tripled compared with the first year of Zhenghe.

The military power is strong and the reputation spreads far and wide, the business transactions connect east and west, the market is extremely rich in material goods, and the people's lives are quite affluent.With the real momentum of ZTE, the real country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious.

Originally, their current term could have ended perfectly. However, because of a reduction or exemption of agricultural tax that benefited tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty, the entire term of the cabinet was not guaranteed.

Don't expect no one to know, the moment it was published in "Shi Lun", it meant that the imperial court did not keep the matter a secret, and it gave the ministers, workers and even the common people the right to discuss it.

"Our era should be over, so we should have the awareness to be a ladder for others."

Han Jiang was not happy, but it was already like this, what's the use of staying in Qinzheng Palace and scolding mothers?Might as well just accept it.

"I don't mind being a ladder, but you can't be so shameless, right?"

Even Wang Gui, the good old man, complained for the first time.That's right, as a cabinet that cherishes its reputation and officials' views, it really doesn't want to leave such a reputation for the officials and the people in the end.

"Everyone, don't think too much. There is one thing that you must not ignore. The extent to which the agricultural tax will be reduced or exempted, and how the imperial court will operate this matter will ultimately be determined by our cabinet."

"It's useless to say more, and it's convincing to do it. Whether it's an article in "Shi Lun" or a discussion in the market, it is not as convincing as the imperial court's policy of benefiting the people."

"All the complaints come from the pre-judgment of the "Shi Lun" article, not the facts. The way to change the facts is to wait for the agricultural tax reduction policy formulated by this cabinet to benefit the people of the Song Dynasty. "

After Fu Bi said these words, Wang Anshi knew that the result he had envisioned had not happened.After all, it will be completed in this cabinet, and the prime minister of this cabinet is Fu Bi Fu Yanguo, not Wang Anshi and Wang Jiefu.

After all, the officials still want to give this cabinet a perfect curtain call...
Zhao Xi really didn't mean to cheat this cabinet, and it would be a lie to say that Lu Huiqing and his like would write an article.For Zhao Xi, facilitating this matter is the purpose.

As for the damage to the prestige of this cabinet elder at the end, in Zhao Xi's view, it is also a good thing, which will help the next cabinet to take over the government affairs smoothly.

"Maybe you understand?"

Zhao Xi taught her son again.

"Father, my child thinks that the policy of agricultural tax reduction and exemption should be handed over to the court for implementation at the court meeting, that is, when the cabinet, government discussions, and participation in politics change..."

Children can be taught.The prince not only understood it, but also thought of the most appropriate way to deal with it.Zhao Xi was very pleased.

"When the cabinet changes, such disputes are necessary. In general, the next cabinet is related to the current cabinet. Students, old friends, mentors, and township parties are all possible."

"Setting up a pavilion for the elderly is also a preparation for the final balance. Only when the two cabinets are not completely harmonious can the role of the king be fully reflected."

"There is no hidden danger in the change of term this time, because there are many former ministers who have joined the cabinet. When you are in power, such an operation is necessary during the change of term."

To a certain extent, this time the agricultural tax dispute was deliberately shown to his son by Zhao Xi.
