"Your Majesty will personally supervise this?"

An official was slightly stunned, and then said with a disdainful expression: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, how can I supervise the situation?"

"yes!"

"Is this something you can do if you want to?"

Many officials sneered.

When implementing any government decree, it is the officials who actually do the work in the end.

It's like levying a business tax.

It's up to these officials to collect it.

But the nature is different.

The business tax collection can continue because it gives benefits to the managers and they are willing to do it.

Otherwise it will be difficult to implement it.

When it came to anti-corruption, although Wang Lun and others supervised it, it was difficult to advance, which is why this meeting was held.

This is another case where officials and gentry receive food from one body, but it touches on their fundamental interests, and the impact is too great.

It is simply impossible to implement it.

Not to mention Wang Lun, not even His Majesty who is far away in Lanzhou.

There are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

If Wang Lun and others dare to make this knife, they will definitely fight to the death.

And Wang Lun and the others were not willing either.

Because they are also officials and are within the scope of paying taxes...

So it simply cannot be implemented.

They already have ideas. You can introduce whatever new policies you want, as long as I don't abide by them.

Wang Lun said nothing.

However, Song Qing responded quickly. He asked in surprise: "You mean, His Majesty will come to us personally to supervise the matter?"

"Your Majesty is already here."

Wang Lun said in a low voice: "You should be in Zhenjiang now!"

"What!"

"What?"

Hear this.

Everyone was stunned again.

But then someone gritted his teeth and said, "So what if your Majesty is here? Can you finish this errand when you come?"

"Yes, how can we break the rules that have been formed for a long time!"

“Officials and gentry all pay for themselves, and this affects all of us!”

Huaizhou Prefecture Mu Youwan said directly: "Everyone, the thousands of years of tradition cannot be broken. This time we must unite. Although we are fighting against the king of a country, we must also stick to it."

"That's right!"

"We cannot retreat!"

"Immediately rush back to your respective territories, mobilize all officials, all squires, all scholars... As long as we work together, we will be a considerable force!"

"Um!"

"It has to be done!"

"Tradition cannot be broken, and the privileges of scholars cannot be lost!"

Everyone who was fighting on their own just now has reached a consensus now.

Even if the person they are fighting against is His Majesty, they will not hesitate!

Wang Lun, Fang Jie, and Sun Pusheng breathed a sigh of relief.

They understand.

The imperial army came, but they were not the ones doing it.

The most likely thing is that the officials and gentry all receive the food together.

At the same time, they were nervous again.

Your Majesty should be looking for them soon.

"I still have to run my errands well and cannot live up to His Majesty's conferment."

Fang Jie had Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

This is an opportunity.

As long as you can do this well, you will have more opportunities.

He was not the only one who had the same idea, Wang Lun and Sun Pusheng also had the same idea...

"Going back."

"go back!"

The officials no longer cared about the discussion and hurriedly left.

They should quickly return to their respective state capitals and seize the time to deal with this matter.

"I'm going back too."

Fang Jie stood up hurriedly.

"I'm leaving too."

Sun Pusheng followed closely.

"you……"

Whatever Wang Lun wanted to say, he knew it would be in vain.

He is confused now and doesn't know what to do.

And equally confused as him was Song Qing, the governor of Jiangzhou.

He didn't move, just sat on the seat, still mumbling.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to be so radical and deny us a way to survive? Are you really not afraid of being infamy for the ages?"

At the same time.

Zhenjiang government office.

Mo Xuan also asked the same thing.

"Your Majesty, are you really not afraid of being infamy for all eternity?"

She asked very meaningfully.

What is this without paying taxes?

This is a privilege.

In the past, in order to attract talents to take the imperial examination and become officials, the dynasty implemented a policy of not having to pay taxes.

But now the situation has completely changed.

This kind of behavior directly offends scholars all over the world!

They will inevitably be very angry and feel that their privileges have been violated.

And these scholars who control public opinion with pens in their hands will definitely defend their rights.

Guan Ning himself is seeking power and usurping the throne, and if this happens, they still don't know how they will arrange it. Under this influence, they will definitely bear the infamy...

"I'm not afraid."

Guan Ning said casually: "I just rebelled and gained power. No matter what they say, it's nothing more than that. What else can they do?"

Said so.

Guan Ning's voice also turned cold and stern.

"I don't care about anything, I must carry out this policy this time!"

Guan Ning made up his mind.

He discovered this problem long ago.

During the Longjing period, on the surface, it seemed like an unprecedented prosperous period, but in fact, the treasury was empty and the people were impoverished.

War requires money and food, but the people who collect money and food from the state treasury have always been poor people. After the taxes allocated by the people themselves have been paid, new taxes appear.
To be continued...
