Chapter 1593 I don’t pretend anymore, I show my cards

Regarding such rumors, people did not believe it at first. His Majesty has always been prudent. How could he sell his title and land?

However, it has been previously announced that it intends to distribute enfeoffments on a large scale, which seems to have some credibility.

The main thing is that I am tempted.

Those who have a title want to have land, and those who don't have a title want a title. Daning occupies the vast territory of Liang State and can really achieve great things.

As for their safety, they are not worried, let alone the issue of being recaptured by Liang Guo.

How is this possible?

The Emperor of Liang has come to sue for peace, so what else is there to be afraid of?

The most important reason is to stay away from the "place of right and wrong" in Shangjing, to be precise, stay away from His Majesty the Emperor!

Scared!

So scared!

Whenever the court encounters difficulties, His Majesty will gather the wool, one after another.

If you want to resist, you don’t have the courage. If you want to rebel... don’t even think about it.

But they never thought about why, despite such exploitation, the families of the rich and powerful are still rich and live a good life.

In the final analysis, there are still privileges and they still occupy a lot of resources.

This was created in the feudal era, and Guan Ning cannot change it...

Not to mention the feudal era, the same is true in modern times.

It's just that part of their power resources have been exploited, which is unbearable.

As long as you get a fief and move your family, you can do whatever you want in the fief. There is no oppression or exploitation. This is the life that the nobles yearn for!

In addition, there is another reason, and that is profit!

Land is the benefit brought by war, and it also brings more resources. Based on the principle of first come, first served, you can get more resources and more benefits!

In Daning, it is difficult for nobles to obtain private property. The imperial court severely cracks down on land annexation. If you have a fief, everything in the fief belongs to you, and even the imperial court has no right to interfere!

Although it means leaving home and a familiar place, it is also a wonderful thing to be able to leave the emperor.

These temptations are enough to make people's hearts flutter.

It's just that they don't know if this is true or if His Majesty is fishing, so they must be vigilant.

Seeing that there was no movement, Xue Qing became a little anxious. This was an errand assigned by His Majesty and it must be completed as soon as possible.

Ten percent of military supplies can be found on the heads of these people.

Strong medicine must be administered!

Xue Qing and Fei Tian discussed it and held a special banquet in Xue's mansion.

The people invited here are all rich or noble, but they are all powerful people.

Close the door and close the windows.

Xue Qing cleared his throat and began to talk in detail.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Xue Qing always felt that it was a bit inappropriate to engage in such sales. However, since it was assigned by His Majesty, this was the only way to go.

In fact, what he wanted to express was the same thing... he is innocent!

Your Majesty is really going to sell your title and land.

He also specifically stated that His Majesty is planning to implement enfeoffment in the newly occupied territories, so you can rest assured.

Xue Qing is the main one and Fei Tian is the assistant.

Both of them are close ministers of His Majesty, and they are also powerful figures in the central government. Your Majesty has not spoken out, so how dare you say random things.

It's true!

Your Majesty really means this!

After five years of war, the treasury was completely empty, so His Majesty came up with this idea.

It’s hard to be an emperor!

Everyone sighed inwardly, but this time His Majesty was very particular and offered an exchange condition.

"After all, this kind of thing cannot be brought to the table, so please don't spread it outside..."

Xue Qing gave another instruction.

He noticed that several people were moving intentionally.

"Military merit can lead to fiefs and titles. Donating to the imperial court is naturally a meritorious service. It is also deserving of being rewarded!"

Xue Qing said it very clearly.

In the previous dynasty, there was a situation of donating officials and schools. Like the Imperial College in the past, wealthy nobles donated their children to study, which was equivalent to spending money to buy diplomas.

The same principle holds true now, but this is the first time His Majesty has done this.

Xue Qing also gave a lot of explanations, such as specific details.

At present, the imperial court has sent people to conduct an inventory, and an atlas will be drawn up for selection.

This is very humane.

The location and quality of the fiefdom are very different. The more you pay, the more you get, and the more choices you have.

So thoughtful!

People believed it.

Only His Majesty can have so many ideas.

"What do we have to pay now?"

Someone asked aloud.

“Deposit!”

Fei Tian explained: "The specific amount has not been determined yet. What you need to pay now is a deposit. When the official donation is made, it will be included in it..."

"The first charity donation is a deposit. It is mainly money and food. There is no upper limit. The more the better. Your Majesty also wants to see your sincerity. For those who donate more, Your Majesty will naturally not be stingy!"

"Think about it, when you go out and others call you Earl, how does it feel when you have your own fief?"

Fei Tian's tone was full of temptation, and someone stood up immediately.

"The country is in crisis. Although Wu is a humble businessman, he still has a duty to do so!"

The man who stood up was a wealthy businessman from Shangjing City who wanted to become a noble.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

The businessman's status is low, and he also wants to rise above the rank...

"Tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to make a donation. I will tell you the specific amount after I go back and do the accounting."

What he said was very domineering.

Xue Qing said: "You can get a title or land by making a charity donation, so the amount you have to pay is naturally not a small amount, so don't be too cold..."

"I understand, I understand."

Everyone responded.

Buying and selling land is no small matter.

But since those who can sit here are all capable people.

Except for shopkeeper Wu who stepped forward, silence fell into silence, and no one said anything.

Xue Qing and Fei Tian looked at each other and knew that the mission assigned by His Majesty was completed.

Sure enough, after the banquet, many people made excuses to stay, and some returned late at night.

There are many people making donations.

We are all not fools. His Majesty can ask you directly for it. This time he also showed kindness and came up with conditions. This is to give you face, you have to continue.

Even if you don’t have any plans to buy land, you still have to be willing to... understand everything.

A wave of charity donations was launched. With more people and greater strength, the shortage of 10% of military supplies was quickly raised and there was a surplus.

Because of this kind of movement, it is inevitable that the matter will spread to a wider area, and even many officials are aware of it!

After the massive enfeoffment, His Majesty is actually planning to sell his title and land!

In this case, Guan Ning simply pretended to be lazy and showed off his cards.

Anyway, he really wanted to do this, and he wasn't lying.

At a court meeting, Guan Ning vaguely mentioned that the court was in crisis, and those who made donations were all meritorious people, and meritorious service should be rewarded!

What I said is very clear.

For a time, it caused even greater shock. Some people were surprised, others couldn't accept it, and some even directly criticized it.

Selling one's official position and selling one's land promotes unhealthy trends and is a rebellious move.

That’s right.

The imperial court severely cracked down on those who sold their official positions to gain titles, but you, as the emperor, do such things.
Chapter completed!
