    Emperor Hongzhi felt like he had seen a ghost.

    Those who want to be died to death are now bold and direct people to take care of people to protect the road.

    ¡°Obviously, this can only be explained by supernatural beings.

    But until now Emperor Hongzhi still doesn't know what happened.

    ¡°At least¡­the whole thing is not clear yet.

    It¡¯s just that he had a vague feeling in his heart that the situation might be deviating from many people¡¯s imagination, and seemed to be developing in an unknown direction.

    Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but said: "Fang Jifan."

    "My sons and ministers are here." Fang Jifan was ashamed. The gentry were too courageous. If these forces were used to oppose the reform, what about one county, one prefecture, one province, two capitals and thirteen provinces?

    This is unthinkable.

    Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "Tell me, what's going on?"

    Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, didn't I tell you earlier? Take it from the people and use it for the people. In the past, the court and government did not collect taxes, at least they did not collect local taxes from wealthy merchants and gentry. How much tax can you get?"  Even if a heavy burden is placed on the red people, the red people will go bankrupt, and the taxes they can collect can only barely sustain the emergency expenses of the court and government."

    "But now, after the taxes have been collected and the money is available, it is time to use it for the people. In the past, the government even needed to raise donations from the gentry to build a county school. But if you have the money, why don't you build it yourself? Why?  , what is better if it is not repaired? Just like this road, with money, we can start construction. The road must not only be repaired, but also be used by the gentry and the common people. I have predicted that in the past, people from Dingxing County to Xincheng would go back and forth.  , it can take up to five or six days, or at least two or three days. If it is a carriage and it is carrying goods, it will be even more terrible once it encounters muddy weather. Sometimes it may not be possible to go back and forth in seven or eight days. But it is different now. The roads  Once it's repaired, the carriages and horses can run quickly, and you can go back and forth in one day. Your Majesty think about it, the time required to go back and forth from the outer city to the inner city in our capital I'm afraid it may not be much less than that from Dingxing County to the new city."

    "Now that the road is open, Dingxing County will be no different from the outer city of the capital. Just like Beitongzhou, Beitongzhou used to be penniless, but because of the canal, it has become a thoroughfare, with countless goods  , it needs to be transshipped there, how much wealth this can bring. And the greater advantage of roads than canals is that roads are available to everyone, but waterways require someone to have a boat, and the government strictly prohibits private boats.  Official ships and grain ships are not allowed to enter the water, in order to prevent waterways from being blocked and grain ships unable to come and go freely."

    Emperor Hongzhi probably understood.

    He frowned: "Gentlemen make profits from their abilities."

    Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Not just the gentry, but the entire gentry and common people in Dingxing County can make profits from it. Otherwise, how could the gentry alone gather so many people quickly? There must be a lot of common people who will spontaneously defend themselves."  Your Majesty, Dingxing County is the poorest county in Baoding Prefecture, and even in the entire Northern Zhili, with a sparse population and barren land. In the capital, the price of a pound of shelled rice has reached ten cents per pound, but  In Dingxing County, the same amount of rice only costs three or four cents, and yet no one cares about it?"

    Emperor Hongzhi still didn¡¯t understand: ¡°Why didn¡¯t they bring it to the capital in the past?¡±

    Fang Jifan despised Emperor Hongzhi in his heart. Why not eat meat? "The road is difficult, and the cost of manpower and material resources during transportation is too high. What's more, just because the road is difficult and there are few people on the road, the government's response time is not timely.  There are even bandits cutting paths on the road. There are too many variables along the way. Once this kilogram of rice is transported to the capital, in all likelihood, the cost of transportation and hidden dangers may offset all profits.  . It¡¯s different now. Now you can go back and forth in one day and one night, and because of the good roads, it used to be rare for a car to transport hundreds of kilograms of rice. Now with new horse-drawn carriages and such roads, it is a great transportation.  Thousands of kilograms, or even thousands of kilograms, are no big deal. The passage speed of this road is fast, and the land inspection department can respond at any time along the way to crack down on thieves. In this way, risks and transportation costs are reduced to a minimum. Merchants  Only then did I realize that it was profitable. Not only that, your Majesty, think about it, the land price in the capital is so expensive now, it can be said that every inch of land is precious. Many workshops, if they are located in Dingxing County, produce from there, and then use carriages and horses for half a day.  Time, transportation to the capital, what a benefit this is."

    "At that time, Dingxing County will have tax money. Not only will all industries prosper, but with the tax money, the government will also be able to build larger county schools for children to attend school. They will also be able to build more roads to connect with other places, and even  , you can also provide relief to the people at any time, the court and the government, with money, there are so many things that can be done."

    Emperor Hongzhi kept nodding his head. This was a brand new idea. He couldn't help but think again.Question: "But this stall is too big, so the cost will probably be quite high."

    Fang Jifan was happy: "Your Majesty, the original intention of the reform is not to rob others of their wealth, nor is it that if the government gains benefits, the gentry will be forced to lose their families and their families. If this is the case, the reform will not work. How can our children and ministers do this?  As a disciple, when formulating the salary and tax system, I mentioned this point again and again."

    Emperor Hongzhi was speechless: "Keep talking."

    Fang Jifan said: "The original intention of the new tax system is that if the people are rich, the country will be rich. The government collects taxes to enrich the people and enrich the people Whether it is the court or the government, if they want to collect more taxes, they must let the gentry  The people and the people are getting rich. When they are rich, they have to pay more taxes. The income of the court and government is even more amazing, and they have the motivation to build more roads, build more academies, and support the elderly.  Young, even assist the gentry and the people to promote agriculture and business. In this way, the gentry and the wealthy businessmen, even if they are reluctant to pay such heavy taxes, know that these taxes will eventually benefit themselves.  . No matter how unwilling they are, in the end, they have no resentment."

    Emperor Hongzhi gradually began to have a blueprint in his mind.

    A brand new concept gradually emerged: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

    Fang Jifan smiled bitterly: "My son actually mentioned it, but His Majesty didn't care."

    "" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but said: "You didn't explain it clearly. But after all, I only tried it in Dingxing County, so I let you and a few of your disciples 'make fools' there."

    Although he said it was 'nonsense', he had more expectations for Dingxing County and immediately said: "Now that Dingxing County is in chaos, we will immediately summon hundreds of officials to discuss countermeasures."

    Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, with a bit of excitement on his face.

    Didn¡¯t Mr. Fang get so angry as promised?  I want to see what you guys say.

    He couldn't help but laugh: "You two, go together too."

    Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao looked at each other, and Zhu Houzhao winked at Fang Jifan.

    Fang Jifan looked dignified and generous. This captain has been promoted and is now a minister of governance. Zhu Houzhao, you scum, don't wink at me. What do you look like?

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The sudden court discussion caught all the officials off guard.

    No one knew what was going on. People were whispering to each other.

    Liu Jian and others showed some concern. The news they heard was that something might have happened in Dingxing County.

    But there is no accurate news yet about what happened.

    Wang Ao, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel, is upright and upright. Recently, more and more ministers have shown their dissatisfaction with the reform. Although the reform was only in Dingxing County, the worries of the officials and scholars  , but it has become more serious.

    Wang Ao is not convinced and why His Majesty insists on reforming the law.

    Throughout the dynasties, reforms have had several good endings. Those gentry rule the world together with the emperor. If your majesty loses their support, a disaster is just around the corner.

    The emperor is his disciple. As the emperor's master, he does not want his disciples to be regarded as thieves by the people of the world.

    He believes that he must have this sense of responsibility and responsibility.

    After entering the palace.

    Emperor Hongzhi, the prince, and the captain entered the palace one after another. Emperor Hongzhi got on the golden throne and ascended to the throne. Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao stood smiling.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:

    Emperor Hongzhi put his hand on the document and said solemnly: "Something happened in Dingxing County. Such a major event cannot be underestimated. The court must come up with a countermeasure."

    Sure enough, something happened in Dingxing County.

    At this time, many people are eager to try it. This is the best time to repeal the new law.

    "Your Majesty." Wang Ao did his duty and actually went out in person: "The government forces the people to rebel. This has always been the case. The veteran believes that if the people were not forced to a desperate situation by the harsh government, they would never be so bold. I believe that today's plan will not be possible.  You must not suppress them rashly, you should appease them."

    He took the lead in setting a tone for those "rioters". In any case, this is all due to the excessive government. This responsibility should not be borne by the gentry and the common people. Only in this way can all the spearheads be pointed at the culprits.

    As soon as Wang Ao left his post, many people became excited: "I agree, what the prince said is true. Why, the other counties are peaceful, but only Dingxing County has caused trouble. Your Majesty must not send troops to suppress it.  In order to avoid exacerbating the situation, we should extend the emperor's favor and satisfy the wishes of the gentry and the common people. In this waythe trouble will be eliminated."

    "Your majesty, this is what you want to say for the sake of the country. Your Majesty the gentry and the people are suffering. In recent years, natural disasters have been frequent. The people's livelihood has been withered. Why should the gentry and the people do the opposite? It's nothing more than natural disasters and man-made disasters. I beg your majesty.  Magnanimous¡­¡±

    "Your MajestyOld Minister"

    Everyone was talking a lot, and many people stood up excitedly.

    ??Everyone said something to me, and it was very lively.

    Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

    ¡°The words of all the gentlemen really touched my heart.

    It¡¯s rare that what they thought coincided with mine!
