"In the future, it will be more difficult than me. There will be more storms in the court!"

Ling Han's words were a bit melancholy.

"Please teach me my mentor!" Han Kezhong bowed.

"In the eyes of outsiders, in addition to the founding nobles of Huaixi, there are practical factions led by me, Qingliu from the Hanlin Academy, and a group of neutral people who do not do things and only serve as officials!"

Ling Han said, coughing twice, then quickly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip and pressed it down, "But in my opinion, there is another school!" As he said, he looked at Han Kezhong, "That's you!"

"We?" Han Kezhong was puzzled.

"You are a practical faction, but they are a separate faction among the practical faction!" Ling Han narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Tie Xuan, Jing Qing, Xie Jin, you, Hou Yong, Zhang Feng, Lian Zining, and the three great ministers of the Eastern Palace. Recently, the emperor has just replaced the governors of several provinces!"

Han Kezhong was even more puzzled.

"Old mentors, students and others..."

"I know you are not familiar with them, but you all have one characteristic." Ling Han said seriously, "They are all people promoted by Jian in the heart of the emperor. Why did the emperor promote you?"

Han Kezhong seemed to have realized something, "New Policy?"

"Yes, it's the new policy!" Ling Han said again, "My Ming Dynasty started with the founding of the country and was about preventing the old Tang system. But at that time, the world was initially determined and did not use drastic reforms. Therefore, many of the policies of the former Yuan were followed, such as the military household system and the craftsmanship system."

Military households have to join the army for generations, craftsmen have been craftsmen for generations, and there are also cheap households...

"There are also tolerance and reuse of gentry, which are all expedient measures." Ling Han continued, "But now it has been thirty years, and within thirty years these disadvantages have become rules. If you want to change it, you will have to touch the interests of many people."

"There are also land and taxes. Many people are in the provinces who report annually, but do not increase but decrease, and taxes are also very confused. As for the population, the actual population and the tax of the Ministry of Revenue cannot match."

"These!" Speaking of this, Ling Han looked at Han Kezhong, "It was all the emperor's confidant, and it was also the confidant of my Ming Dynasty! It was like a chronic disease, from shallow to deep from light to severe. There were also the vassal kings and the Jiangnan chaebols."

"I'll ask you again, what is the new policy?"

Han Kezhong thought about it, “Reform!”

“What is reform?”

"This..." Han Kezhong couldn't speak.

"Reform is the redistribution of interests and the redistribution of resources." Ling Han patted the armrest of the chair, "It's like the emperor in Zhongdu, Zhongyuan, and Zhejiang's trial stalls. You know the most about this. Who are you opposing?"

"Big landlord, high official and gentleman!" Han Kezhong said, "The small landlord, middle-aged and poor peasants are the most excited!"

"Well, it's up to the point!" Ling Han continued, "This is why you ministers who are Jian Zai's heart have formed their own faction!" As he said that, he smiled, "It was like this in the Past Yuan Dynasty. The family of the landlords must have an official position. The children in the clan passed the exam and made a profit for the family."

"I believe you also know that many officials in the court and the many famous people in the local area are from high-ranking officials and gentry families. The emperor wants to implement new policies, can he use these people?"

"Of course it's not possible, so you can only use it! And you help the emperor to implement the new policy, so naturally they will not tolerate the officials and gentry class, and they are regarded as enemies!"

"The land affairs are not just officials and gods, but also powerful people, and even vassal kings. At that time, you are isolated and helpless and are regarded as thorns in your eyes. So I just said that you will be more difficult than me in the future."

"It is also more difficult than Yan Zhenzhi and others. They are gentlemen but not party. You are gentlemen, and you must party and make grudges from the world."

Upon hearing this, Han Kezhong fell into deep thought.

He understood this principle. The ancients said that if you can pull a hair and benefit the world, it will not be done.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is better than killing parents.

After a while, he spoke, "The new policy is good, and the people and the country benefit only harms the interests of officials and gentry. Students are stupid. As long as they are beneficial to the country, they only want to be ashamed and guilty!"

"If you take care of others and think about being with the light, then the new policy cannot be promoted. The chronic diseases you mentioned will still cause all kinds of diseases in the Ming Dynasty!"

Ling Han looked at him quietly, "Then are you ready?"

Han Kezhong smiled, "It's not just the students who think so, but also said in Zhejiang Shitiegun Jing and the inspector of the students that the country can clearly have a better way, so why should we go through the dead end of the dynasties in history?"

"Resentment is inevitable. So what if you want people to be resentful for the country and the people?" Han Kezhong said again, "Besides, you also said that students and others are ministers of Jian's heart. Reform is led by the emperor, and students and others implement it..."

At this moment, Ling Han suddenly waved his hand.

"You must understand that the new policy is not just a matter of land. Before implementing the new policy, the court will inevitably be in turmoil. Can you protect yourself from the entanglement of interests between multiple parties?" Ling Han said, "What I want to warn you is not how to do things, but how to be invincible!"

"Please tell me clearly!" Han Kezhong bowed.

"You are not a party, but you are a faction. But you are among the new reform officials, so you must not keep talking." Ling Han said with a narrow eye and said, "I warned Yan Zhenzhi and others not to get too close. This is a little bit more serious for you."

"You must be selfless and unrecognizable to your relatives!" Speaking of this, Ling Han looked at him, "Even if you are a reform minister of your sect, you must stay away from him, and you are commonly known as the lonely minister."

Han Kezhong understood this, but he didn't seem to understand it either.

"Reform is not a day or night, nor is it a generation or two." Ling Han continued, "The situation is like chess, who is the person who plays chess?"

"Emperor..."

"Yes, the emperor plays chess, and our ministers are the chess pieces on the chessboard!" Ling Han warned earnestly, "Go wherever the emperor asks you to go, don't ask right or wrong, and don't talk about right or wrong with others."

"You, me, the courtiers are all small soldiers crossing the river! You can only move forward, not backward! Once you retreat, even if the emperor is tolerant, others will not tolerate it!"

Han Kezhong had a solemn face, "The student understands." He said, and smiled, "It has been like this since ancient times. If you do things well, you will naturally obstruct you from doing things. But sometimes you can't be a human being if you want to do things. No matter how you say it, you can't be a human being."

"So, I can only run to the dark side, and I can't regret it even if I hit the wall. The students of my mentor's hard work know that the difficulties faced by the new policy are even more aware of."

"Actually, students have already thought about it. If you benefit the world, why don't you cherish this? Since you want to live up to the person of scholars, want to do good deeds and do good deeds for the country and the people, students can only run to the dark side!"

"Okay!" Ling Han nodded heavily, "I have courage!" and said with a wry smile, "But I may not see that the day you will be successful in reform!"

~~

Han Kezhong left, and his interpersonal relationships in the capital were simple, and there was no one else except Ling Han, the nominal mentor.

Ling Han was still sitting on the chair, watching the charcoal fire that was about to be extinguished.

"Hey, there is no constant thing in the world, no constant reason!" He sighed in his heart, "Hey, what a good boy, it's just a little bit!"

At this time, Ling Han's eldest son, Ling Pu, came in from outside, "Father!"

"Let you prepare everything you have!?"

"It's ready. The things I have given to you over the years, the tax-free land deeds that the Supreme Emperor rewarded that year, and the population tenants, and the son are ready!"

"It's ready. After I meet the emperor tomorrow, you can hand it back to the Ministry of Revenue!"

"Then...what if the Ministry of Revenue didn't accept it?"

"Yes!" Ling Han seemed tired, closed his eyes, "I will definitely collect it!" As he said that, he suddenly opened it again and looked at his son, "Does there anyone else in our family have mailed the fields in his name to be tax-free?"

"There are some in the hometown, about 1,200 or more..."

"No one is allowed in the future!" Ling Han said, "You immediately make the money you have received for tax exemption from others over the years. Make a bill for me, and make sure to details."

"What do you want this?"
