The reason why the King of Jin never disclosed the news that the Ninth Princess was about to ascend the throne was because he was afraid that other vassal kings would not believe it or slowly accept this fact.
He was waiting for Ninth Princess and Jin Feng to take the initiative to make it public.
Now he has waited.
Dakang's communications were lagging behind. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least several months for Jin Feng's message of conquest to spread throughout Dakang.
But King Jin had already prepared detailed plans in various places. Under King Jin's promotion, in just a few days, the news of Jin Feng's conquest and the ninth princess's ascension to the throne spread throughout Dakang!
The whole world is in an uproar!
In the feudal era, men were always superior to women. In many places, women were not allowed to serve at the table when eating. Women also had to avoid formal occasions such as sacrifices.
There has never been a female emperor!
"Is Jin Feng crazy? He actually let a woman become the emperor?"
"I heard before that Chen Wen'er bewitched the late emperor and intended to invade power. I didn't expect that he would dare to proclaim himself emperor now!"
"This is unreasonable! What a shame!"
For a time, the whole Dakang was filled with voices crusading against the Ninth Princess!
When the King of Jin saw that his goal had been achieved, he quickly sent a message to the vassal kings in various places, asking them to unite to attack Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess.
The feudal princes were already worried about Jin Feng, but now someone took the lead, and other princes responded one after another.
The spies trained by the Ninth Princess in various places quickly spread the news back to Jinchuan.
The Ninth Princess was already hesitant about proclaiming herself emperor, so she couldn't help but panic after hearing this news.
"Husband, what should we do now?"
"It's okay, let them jump. After all, they are grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be able to jump for a few days!"
Jin Feng, however, didn't care. He turned around and asked, "Have you finished the land allocation order I asked you to prepare?"
"Ready!"
"Then send it out."
"Should we send it now?" Ninth Princess asked with a frown: "Once this imperial order is spread, it will definitely cause crazy opposition from all the wealthy landowners. Now King Jin and the others are preparing to launch an attack. Isn't this the right time?"
Sichuan and Shu are regarded as Jin Feng's base areas. In the view of Ninth Princess, the base area should be stabilized at this time, and after the world is brought under control, the strategy of attacking local tyrants and dividing their fields can be slowly implemented.
"Wuyang, the landlord class and us are bound to have a battle. In this case, it is better to deal with the wealthy landlords and the vassal kings together, so as to save the common people from suffering more!"
Jin Feng said confidently: "As for those vassal kings, either I underestimate them or they are just a bunch of paper tigers. No matter how loud you shout, who dares to come to Sichuan and see me?"
Not to mention that the landowners in Sichuan and Shu have nothing to do with them, even if their own sons are here and I want to fight against the local tyrants, do you think any of them would dare to come to Sichuan and Shu to stop me?"
What Jin Feng said sounded a little arrogant at first, but when Ninth Princess thought about it carefully, it made sense.
The weapons produced by the Zhenyuan Escort Agency were far ahead of others. The Tubo and Dongman factions that had beaten Dakang so hard before had no choice but to be beaten obediently in front of Jin Feng.
The vassal king's subordinates are almost all veteran soldiers led by dandy generals. They are not heavyweights at all with the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. It's a shame if they dare to come to Sichuan.
"Wuyang, I told you a long time ago that I will clean up all your enemies for you. You don't have to worry about these. What you have to do is to figure out how to stabilize the country as quickly as possible and let the people live a better life.
Live a prosperous and stable life!”
Jin Feng held the shoulders of the Ninth Princess: "Our real enemy is not these vassal kings, nor the Tubo party items and the Eastern barbarians, but poverty, do you understand?"
"Our enemy is poverty?" Ninth Princess was stunned for a moment.
This was the first time she heard this statement.
"Yes, our enemy is poverty!"
Jin Feng said: "Every year, more people starve to death, freeze to death, and die of illness because of poverty than die on the battlefield. Poverty is not our biggest enemy. Who is?"
The Ninth Princess looked thoughtful, and after a while she nodded slowly: "I understand a little bit!"
The next day, the Ninth Princess issued her first imperial order after ascending the throne.
There are two contents in the imperial order. The first one is to continue to use the tax policy formulated by Chen Ji and adopt the method of light corvee and low tax to tax the people.
The second article is also very simple. In Jinchuan County, all previous land deeds are invalid, and the fields will be redistributed on a village basis based on the population of the village!
At the same time, there is an additional item under the second decree. From now on, people only need to pay public grain to the court, and no one else can requisition grain from farmers for any reason!
This imperial order was like pouring a bowl of cold water into boiling oil, and the world suddenly boiled.
After the fourth prince usurped the throne in the capital, in order to bribe the powerful to support him, he abolished the low taxes set by Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess, which made many people miserable.
Now that the Ninth Princess has repealed Chen Zheng's decree and restored low taxes, the people are naturally happy.
What made them most happy was that the Ninth Princess took over the landowner’s land and gave it to them!
In other words, they no longer have to farm for the landlords. They only need to pay a small part of the harvested food to the government, and the rest is their own!
Just two decrees made the people of Jinchuan burst into tears of gratitude!
"His Royal Highness Ninth is truly the savior of our people!"
"Stop calling me Ninth Prince, now I'm going to call you Lord Long Live!"
"Yes, yes, His Highness has ascended the throne!"
"Oh, it would be even better if Mr. Jin became emperor!"
"Actually, the late emperor originally wanted to pass the throne to Mr. Jin. When the capital changed greatly, the late emperor gave all the jade seals to Mr. Jin. However, Mr. Jin was kind and modest and felt that he was not suitable to govern the world. His Highness Ninth Prince was among all the children of the late emperor.
, who is the most capable and has the best interests of the people, gave up the throne to His Highness the Ninth Prince!"
"Don't say this kind of thing casually. Where did you hear that?"
"I'm not just talking nonsense. The opera performed by the Xihewan Song and Dance Troupe last night was about this! I went to Xihewan to deliver goods yesterday, and I heard it clearly!"
"Really? Then I'll go to Xihewan to have a look too!"
"No need, the leader of the song and dance troupe Qing Yuan said that the Xihewan Song and Dance Troupe will perform in every town next, and it is estimated that they will come to our town in the next two days!"
"Then I want to take a good look!"
…
Jinchuan fired the first shot to allocate land to local tyrants, and countless people cheered for it.
But the wealthy landowners in Jinchuan were as disheartened as if their parents had died.
They all make a living by annexing land and collecting rent. They are blood-sucking parasites lying on the people. The Ninth Princess's decree is tantamount to completely cutting off their financial resources.
But Jinchuan is Jin Feng's base camp, with the most escorts, and Jin Feng's influence is the strongest. Although the landowners hate it to death, they dare not say anything and let the escorts take away their fields and distribute them to the people!
