As Zhu Youxiao issued an imperial edict, dozens of Han generals who were originally guarding outside the hall rushed in immediately. Instead of using weapons, they each raised their whips and thrusts at the officials who were still jumping their feet and cursing.

Only a crackling sound was heard, accompanied by screams. After a while, the Golden Palace gradually returned to peace, but there were a group of officials in the hall with their noses, swollen faces or their bodies were whipped by leather whips.

Looking at the scene in the hall, the three pavilions, Sun Chengzong, Zhu Guozhen and Han Yu, all frowned, and looked at Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the dragon throne and looking at the riots in the hall, as if he was not the one who ordered the Han general to enter the hall to suppress the riots.

The three of them couldn't help but feel very shocked. In the past, Zhu Youxiao always looked gentle and kind, but today they saw from him the ruthlessness that he had never seen before.

What exactly gave Zhu Youxiao such a big change that he actually dared to order the Han generals to enter the palace to suppress the riots of all officials. Wouldn't he be afraid of causing turmoil in the government?

Could it be...

Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but look at Yang Feng, who was still standing on his right hand, looking unaware of the turmoil in the hall just now.

After looking at Yang Feng, and then at Zhu Youxiao, the three of them finally understood where Zhu Youxiao’s change came from today. It was the Ming Dynasty war god who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed. It was because of his arrival that gave Zhu Youxia enough confidence.

Thinking of this, the three cabinet masters looked at each other, their faces differently. It seemed that they would pay more attention to Yang Feng from now on.

After a while, the officials only heard a sound in the hall. What was surprising was that the sound was too loud. Even the eunuch who had the largest voice specially selected by Kilometer was far from the point. Everyone looked at the sound, but found that Zhu Youxiao had stood up, holding an iron horn in his hand, looking at everyone expressionlessly.

"Why... I won't shout anymore?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at everyone with a cold expression.

"I have been ascending the throne for nearly ten years. This is the first time I have seen the officials so disregard their demeanor during the court meeting. Some of you shouted and some rushed out of the line class, and some even cursed angrily. Is there any decent official or scholarly demeanor? Seeing your appearance, even I feel ashamed of you. You are not worthy of being a scholar!"

Zhu Youxiao almost roared in a roaring tone. With the blessing of the iron trumpet, his voice echoed in the Golden Palace.

Although many officials have been in the morning court for a long time, because the Golden Palace is too big, nearly a thousand people line up like this, some are even hundreds of meters away from Zhu Youxiao. At such a distance, you can only see the emperor's figure from a distance, let alone hear the emperor's voice. But it doesn't matter. All the officials present today heard it.

When the officials heard the emperor get angry, their first reaction was to kneel down and apologize to the emperor. No matter what the reason made Long Yan furious, they were all responsible, so a large area of ​​them knelt down in the Jinluan Palace.

Yang Feng's reaction was a beat slower. He had never been used to kneeling down to others until everyone knelt down and looked around, and then he knelt down at Zhu Youxiao with the flow, but it was precisely because of this that it seemed particularly eye-catching.

"My Ming Dynasty has always been known for opening up the road of speech. Since Duke Xin Guo had written a memorial and had to submit it, he naturally had to allow others to finish reading it. You guys, as soon as he read a name, he couldn't wait to jump out. What do you want to do? Can't you block the memorial?"

"Don't you dare?" the officials answered in unison.

Is it a sentence that officials often use to criticize the emperor? Whenever the emperor does something, the officials want to submit a memorial but the emperor refuses to give it to them, the officials use this sentence to curse people. Unexpectedly, they are used on their own heads today.

"hehe……"

Seeing the unanimous voices of the officials kneeling all over the ground talking, Zhu Youxiao sneered: "Since you figured it out, let's just calm down and listen to Wei Zhongxian finish reading the memorial."

"I will obey the order."

Wei Zhongxian raised his memorial again and recited loudly: "I am confident that Duke Yang Feng of the Kingdom of China has gone to Jiangnan to suppress the bandits and quell the rebellion. I found that Jiangnan, which was originally known as the granary of the Ming Dynasty, was no longer worthy of its name. The people had land in ten, and most of the land belonged to the rich gentry. The poor had almost no place to stand, while the rich gentry sang every night... The poor gentry sang? The rich ke? If the Ming Dynasty was poor, why could countless rich gentry sang a lot of money to buy a thin horse in Yangzhou? If the Ming Dynasty was rich, why did the imperial taxes hit a new low? I thought..."

Listening to Wei Zhongxian's yin and yang clumsy and mixed together, the officials in the Golden Palace all had a wonderful expression. In the clums, Yang Feng not only explained the current situation in Jiangnan, but also listed a large amount of data to prove it.

He then pointed out that the reason why the Ming Dynasty's finances were out of money was because most of the land had fallen into the hands of landlords and gentry. It was because these people concealed their land income and enjoyed the privilege of tax exemption that the finances were getting smaller and smaller every year. If this continues, the country would be out of power and the Ming Dynasty would be in danger.

Finally, Yang Feng proposed a solution to the problem, which was to implement the method of working together with officials and gentry to pay grain in Jiangnan, and the fire consumption was returned to the public. The capitation tax was abolished and taxed according to the amount of land owned.

All people must pay taxes when the privileges of officials, gentry and scholars are abolished, so that the financial crisis of the court can be completely alleviated.

Not only that, Yang Feng also formulated specific punishment rules for illegal gentry and scholars. For example, it is strictly forbidden for gentry to collect money and grain. Anyone who has arrears who has arrears and who has arrears will be removed no matter how much; if the owed 80 taels, they will be punished as stolen or abused.

It is strictly forbidden for gentry to owe grain. If a gentry owes money and grain, local officials should separate him from the civilians and report it separately so that the gentry can resist the law of food; prefectures and county officials should pay the students to register and send them to the school officials, and the school officials will assist and supervise the completion. It is strictly forbidden for gentry to engage in lawsuits.

Not only that, local governments must also strengthen the management of the student body. At the end of each year, the student body must protect each other without resistant to food, and only after the student body finishes the food, he will be allowed to take the exam. In other words, if a scholar does not pay taxes and grain, he will not even be qualified for the scientific examination.

This memorial was relatively long, with nearly 20,000 words. After Wei Zhongxian finished reading it, the entire Golden Palace was silent, and many people took a deep breath. Yang Feng's method was so poisonous.

If this method is really implemented, the good days that scholars have lasted for thousands of years will never return.

Hearing this, many people looked at Yang Feng as if they had seen a ghost. How did this guy have a brain and how could he come up with such a vicious way?

In fact, what they didn't know was that this was not Yang Feng's idea at all, but just copied the method of taking food in one-time and space implemented by Emperor Yongzheng in another time and space.
