After all, King Pingnan had specifically stated that no one could enter without his permission.
But Ye Junfei is not only the prince of the palace, but also the key to the political hall.
The rule passed down from the ancestors of Pingnan Palace is: as long as you have the key to the Political Hall, you can enter the Political Hall.
While he was hesitating, Ye Junfei had already taken the key and opened the door of the political hall.
The guard took a step forward, but Wu Ge held out his chest and blocked the guard, very forcefully.
Wu Ge has been by Ye Junfei's side for these years, and the guards with a lot of blood on their hands are by no means comparable to ordinary conservative guards.
As soon as the evil spirit from his body was released, the guards felt frightened and dared to stop them.
King Pingnan has been very busy these days. After giving the key to Ye Junfei yesterday, he still hasn't had time to sort out the things inside.
Because he didn't have time to sort it out, what Ye Junfei sees now is the most authentic information.
Although Ye Junfei had a basic understanding of Liefeng State before, he didn't know much about government affairs.
This time he came to Zhengshi Hall to make up for his shortcomings in this area.
To be the new King of Pingnan, Ye Junfei needs to understand the entire Liefeng State.
While he was reading these government affairs documents, Lin Xiuyan was also looking around.
She looked through the pages and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when you asked Uncle Wu to treat Ye Jingxian before, did you have plans to steal the house?"
If King Pingnan were in the palace, he would definitely not let them enter the political hall so smoothly.
Ye Junfei said softly: "Yes, you have discovered all this."
Lin Xiuyan came close to him and said: "When it comes to evildoers, you are truly the best in the world."
She had seen in her previous life that besides being cruel, he was also thoughtful in everything he did.
He asked the medical sage to treat Ye Jingxian. In addition to letting the medical sage vent the anger that had accumulated in his heart for many years, he also went to the political hall to read the excerpts.
This is truly killing two birds with one stone.
The key point is that even if the medical sage healed Ye Jingxian's foot this time, it would not be difficult for Ye Junfei to break Ye Jingxian's foot.
When Ye Junfei first returned to the palace, there was no guard, and even Prince Pingnan had no way to deal with him.
Now that Ye Junfei has three guards and the key to the political hall, King Pingnan has nothing to do with him.
Ye Junfei kissed her on the face and said, "It's okay!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
He promised to do business, is he really okay with this?
She glared at him, and he smiled slightly: "You have praised me like this. In your heart, I am already worthy of you."
At this point, he moved closer to her and said, "Madam, since I am worthy of you, should we sleep together tonight?"
After returning to the palace, although the two slept in the same room, they did not sleep on the same pillow.
Lin Xiuyan knew that he couldn't say more than a few words before he could not get it straight, so he hummed softly and went to the other side to read the booklet.
Ye Junfei's lips curled up slightly when he saw her look, knowing that they had to finish reading before King Pingnan came back. Time was running out, so he stopped teasing her.
The important documents of Liefeng Prefecture in the past year are stored in the political hall, and they are all stored in categories.
Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan both have good memories, and they both know how to see the key points, and their overall efficiency is very fast.
When Ye Junfei looked at these, he discovered that there were many problems in Liefeng State.
He knew that Liefeng Prefecture was a little poor because of its remote location, but when he saw Hu Si's certificate, he realized that Liefeng Prefecture was even poorer than he expected.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he walked through the entire Liefeng State before meeting Lin Xiuyan.
He used his status as the crown prince to visit the city lord's palace in each city and read their farm property records. At that time, he discovered that some of the data did not match up.
However, he saw that the total number of fields that needed to be paid taxes submitted by Hu Sili was different from what he saw in the various city lords' mansions.
The tax policies throughout Dachu are basically similar, that is, as long as a scholar is born in an ordinary family, they can be exempted from tax on ten acres of land.
If you give birth to a juren, you can be exempted from the tax on a hundred acres of land.
If you become a Jinshi, you can be exempted from the tax on a thousand acres of land.
This situation will cause ordinary people to place land in the homes of these scholars in order to avoid paying taxes.
Moreover, after these people gained fame, they controlled the measurement of government land, and the one acre of land on the document may not be more than one acre of land at all.
The more evil-minded they are, they will turn the land where the common people have joined them into their own. Even if the common people are dissatisfied with this kind of thing, they can only hold it back.
As time goes by, the land in the hands of ordinary people is getting less and less, and the land in the hands of these aristocratic families is getting more and more.
Ye Junfei glanced at the document in his hand and knew that the situation in Liefeng State was already very serious.
This will result in a situation where taxes are extremely low and large households are very wealthy.
He made a rough calculation and found that the Hu family occupied nearly one-tenth of the cultivated land area in Mingmian, Liefeng Prefecture.
As for the land controlled by the Hu family but not included in the Hu family's head, there should be quite a lot of it, so the actual proportion will be even greater.
The Hu clan is the mother clan of Princess Pingnan.
His eyes narrowed slightly, feeling that the Hu clan should be destroyed.
It's just that the Hu family has a very deep foundation in Liefeng State over the years. If you want to destroy them, you need to take a long-term approach.
He had not yet come up with a plan to destroy the Hu clan, so Lin Xiuyan let out a soft "Eh".
He asked: "What's wrong?"
Lin Xiuyan replied: "There are records about the wind disaster here. I see something is wrong, but I can't see what is wrong at the moment. Come and take a look."
The name of Gale State is related to the wind here.
As soon as autumn comes here, strong winds will blow, often for several months.
When strong winds blow, all crops can be blown down.
Therefore, all crops in the entire Gale State must be harvested before the strong wind comes.
Otherwise, nothing will be gained.
What Lin Xiuyan felt was wrong was the record of coming to provide relief from the typhoon.
She grew up in Gale State and is very familiar with everything here, but the things recorded above feel strange to her.
Because the typhoon disasters she knew about in Liefeng State did not happen every year.
Although the wind in Liefeng State is very strong, the people here are used to it.
They have their own way of resisting strong winds. As long as they sow properly every year, they can harvest crops before the strong winds arrive.
Of course, every few years, there will always be one or two years when strong winds come earlier than usual, which will cause considerable losses.
But according to the booklet here, hurricane disasters occur every year in Gale Prefecture.
Because of the special nature of wind, there are differences between cities. Lin Xiuyan initially thought that it was normal for other cities to have wind disasters every year in recent years.
However, the city where she is located, Chongqing, reported hurricane disasters last year and the year before that.
