Although he is the uncle of Wanyan Ruixian and the father-in-law of Wanyan Chen, if he does not do his best and seeks personal fraud, once he finds out, he will not let himself go. Although he will not want his own life, his political career will be over from now on. It was not easy for me to climb to the position of ruling minister, but I still want to sit for two more years. But colleagues can't offend at will, there is a way that "the sedan chair carries people, and people lift people high", although they have the support of the emperor, there must be a group of people at the bottom to support it, and the people below are offended, and it will not be easy to live in the future.

Therefore, Na Yan Ming'an only felt that he couldn't be guilty of being caught in the middle of the splint and angry, so he hurriedly picked his son and left, throwing this hot potato to others. It just so happened that Zhang Hu came back, and it was he who first proposed to change the tax system, and it was logical to throw this burden to him to resist.

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded and said, "Boyi, it's rare that my uncle can put the overall situation first, and I see that you are responsible for taking on this important responsibility." Daikin is up to you. ”

Zhang Hu hurriedly said: "Why did Your Majesty say this, the ministers will do their best for Your Majesty, Dajin's country to repay Your Majesty." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi smiled and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will make an order to establish the Three Divisions and Regulations Division, and you will preside over it." Bo Yi, you have just returned to Zhongdu, you should be very tired, go back to rest first, I still have some things to discuss with my father-in-law and uncle. ”

Zhang Hu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has retired." ”

After Zhang Hu withdrew, Wan Yan Changzhi said: "Uncle, now that Bo Yi is back, I think the marriage of the second cousin should be settled soon, right?" ”

Na Yan Ming'an hesitated for a while, and then said: "Earlier the marriage of the second girl was decided, and the minister was naturally willing, but Mrs. Zhang's filial piety has not yet expired, how can Bo Yi complete the marriage?" ”

Wanyan Fushou said with a smile: "Ming'an, it's not that they want to get married immediately, but to set their names first and exchange tokens." After Mrs. Zhang's filial piety, she will help them get married. He turned his head to Wan Yan Changzhi: "Changzhi, don't worry, I will go to Boyi Mansion tonight to propose marriage." ”

Seeing that he had said this, he couldn't delay any longer. In fact, at the beginning, when Wanyan Changzhi explained the marriage to him, Na Yan Ming'an was very willing and happy. Zhang Hu is not only young and promising, but also deeply trusted by Wanyan Changzhi, once this family business is done, his two sons-in-law are literate and martial, and they are very glorious. But the current situation is not right, I have just taken off my body, and I pulled Zhang Hu to cushion my back, once I got married, even if it was just an engagement, I would inevitably be rounded in again, wading into this muddy water. The son-in-law is in charge of the reform plan, can he be separated from being a father-in-law? But he had already agreed to this family business, and now in front of Wan Yan Changzhi, he was not allowed to refuse, so he had to agree.

In fact, Wan Yan Changzhi had already seen through Na Yan Ming'an's plan to get out, but he didn't say it at the time, and when he brought up the matter of marriage again, he couldn't let Na Yan Ming'an stay out of the matter. After all, there are only a few people around me who can be trusted.

At this point, Wanyan Fushou is highly consistent with his son-in-law. He also had a very slight attitude towards Na Yan Ming'an's hope that he would not be offended. In fact, in the past two months, the pressure faced by Wanyan Fushou is no worse than that of Na Yan Ming'an, but Wanyan Fushou has been in officialdom for a long time, and knows that the current situation in Dajin is not optimistic, and if you don't advance, you must retreat, and you must make some positive changes. Therefore, his attitude towards changing the law is absolutely supportive, and he only advises Wan Yan Changzhi to be as stable as possible in terms of specific methods.

Although it is not wrong to have the idea of Na Yan Ming'an to be left and right, it is not applicable at all times, and sometimes you have to make a choice, and when you should let it go, you must let it out, so as not to completely offend one of them. If you blindly flatter both sides no matter what the situation is, you will only end up with both ends in vain. And now the interests of his side are tied together with the longevity of the face, which is a glory and a loss. Na Yan Ming'an still has the ability to do things, and he is also trustworthy, but his personality is too sleek, and his retreat must be completely cut off. Therefore, Wanyan Fushou took the initiative to read down the matter of kissing.

On the same night, Wanyan Fushou came to Zhang Hu's house and proposed to Zhang Hu for Na Yan Caiyun.

Now Zhang Hu has also reached the age of talking about marriage, and Na Yan Ming'an's two daughters are also quite famous in the Jurchen aristocratic circle, because Wei Zhanghu has a good relationship with Wanyan Changzhi and Wanyan Chen, so in the usual gatherings, I have also seen their sisters a few times, both family background, character and themselves are very compatible. And if it is done, it will also be of great benefit to his career, but it is the emperor's marriage, and when the emperor personally comes to the door to propose, this face is not small, so no matter from that aspect, there is no reason to refuse.

Zhang Hu really had no objection to Yan Fushou's proposal, and happily obeyed. It's just that he has to tell his mother before he can officially agree. This point is reasonable, Wanyan Fushou has no objection, and I believe that Zhang Hu's mother will not object, so the family matter is decided.

※※Support original ※"Song Xiang" is in ※Support genuine※※

On the second day of the war, Wan Yan Chang issued an order to set up the Regulation Department of the Three Divisions outside Shangshu Province, and presided over by Zhang Hu and Na Yan Ming'an.

The establishment of the Three Divisions and Regulations Department was originally signed by the Song official. In the second year of the reign of Emperor Xining of the Song Dynasty (0), it was set when Wang Anshi's law was changed. Pay the responsibility of drawing the state plan, and discuss the old law to benefit the world. In fact, it is a financial institution outside the province of Zhongshu to set up a financial institution to oversee the whole country. Because Wang Anshi's reform is mainly to reform finance.

At this time, the Dajin Imperial Court also set up such an institution, which was naturally also for tax reform. There are many ministers of the Kingdom of Jin, who are familiar with this period of history, are worried about this. This kind of worry Zhang Hu is not unaware that these ministers may not all own a large amount of land and property, and they are only concerned about their own selfish interests, and there is no lack of worry that Dajin will follow the old path of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But Zhang Hu didn't care about this, because for these people, no matter what changes the imperial court makes, they will blindly oppose it, and only unchanged is the best, and they can't imagine that Dajin has only been in charge of the Central Plains for more than 50 years, and many ministers have completely lost their enterprising spirit and learned the pedantic spirit of the Han people.

Therefore, Zhang Hu also let go of his hands and feet and began to do a big job. Four regulations were immediately drafted: first, the nationwide inventory of land in Daikin was for the purpose of reforming the tax system, and the imperial court promised that it would not forcibly occupy land for no reason; Second, in the inventory of the land, first by the landlord self-reported hidden land to the household, all the initiative to confess, the court will not be held responsible, if the court verified, the hidden field is confiscated, the rate of the household is used as an official slave, if the amount is huge, and do not take the initiative to confess, the court will be strict; 3. After ascertaining the household registration of the land, it is necessary to make a register and file it, and keep one copy in the local government and one copy in the DPRK and the central government, so as to serve as the basis for formulating a new tax on thieves and servitude. Fourth, in the process of land inventory, the personnel responsible for the inventory must be conscientious and fair and reasonable. If there is favoritism, concealment, or false accounting, the court will deal with it strictly.

After these four regulations were sent to Wan Yan Changzhi's public case, Wan Yan Changzhi didn't even read it, and without saying a word, he approved the two red letters of "quasi-action". It was then immediately promulgated and implemented nationwide.

Now Daikin knows that the emperor's determination to change the tax system will not be changed in the future. However, the innovation of the imperial court also means that a large number of new opportunities are coming again, if you see the opportunity in time, seize the opportunity, and are not afraid of rising to the top in one fell swoop. As a result, many people immediately changed their minds and began to advocate for the reform of the tax system. All of a sudden, voices in favor of change suddenly rang out.

In the face of the supporters who seem to have disturbed more overnight, Zhang Hu can still calm down, knowing that those who support may not be beneficial to themselves, and those who oppose may not be unfavorable to themselves.

However, the success or failure of the tax reform lies in the investigation of the amount of land produced. And if you want to find out the amount of land, Guan Jian is responsible for whether the people who work in the club are responsible and impartial. After all, the land is not a treasure of gold and silver, it is all placed in the open air, and it cannot be hidden and covered. However, in the face of personal accidents and wine-colored wealth, it is difficult to say how many people can adhere to the ethics of officials. An important reason for the failure of Wang Anshi's reform was that the people under him did things in violation of the yang and yin, and some good laws that seemed to be beneficial to the people and the country were all broken by the people who operated them.

Zhang Hu's heart is not unreasonable, so he has to find another way to deal with it. As the saying goes, fish have a fish road, shrimp has a shrimp road, and most of the people who own a lot of land are official eunuchs, so they have launched their own relationship networks, began to ask for favors, and went to the door, hoping to open their own nets. And those who can't go to the upper echelons of the road will be assigned to the inventory personnel who have checked the land according to the body, hoping that when they are checking the land, they will be able to be high-handed, let go of a horse, or underreport the hidden land. There are also a small number of strong families, relying on their deep roots and hard background, using a tough attitude, not holding on to it, obstructing the inventory personnel in every possible way, threatening and intimidating, and resisting to the death.

On the other hand, the officials who were responsible for the inventory of the land were also in power, so they carried out the order, and took advantage of the great power in their hands to take the opportunity to extort money from the big landlords and enrich their own pockets. In order to improve their own political performance and seek promotion, the officials who paid for the land inventory did not hesitate to exaggerate the amount, made something out of nothing, and forcibly apportioned the land. In short, all kinds of phenomena are everything.

Zhang Hu was also mentally prepared for this, and while sending people to the whole country to check the land, he also sent a large number of secret agents to various places to secretly inquire about whether the officials responsible for checking the land were serious and whether there were any selfish malpractices.

Sure enough, just a month later, Hebei, Zhongjing, Xijing, and other roads that took the lead in checking the land have reported many bad phenomena; after the inventory in some places, the land has not been as much as it has been filed in the past, and some places have turned out to be several times that of the past, some counties have only thousands of acres of land, and some counties have as much land as hundreds of thousands of mu, more than a state, and there are obviously a panicked land, but it is hard to be pointed out as land, and it is obviously a thousand acres of fertile land, but there is no investigation in the case. Of course, there were also people who forcibly resisted the investigation, and did not hesitate to use private forces to defend the grange, prohibit the entry of the inventory personnel, and other information, all of which were reported back to Zhang Hu's three departments and regulations through the unannounced personnel.

Zhang Hu did some screening of this information, and reported some incidents that were obviously unreasonable and basically certain to Wanyan Changzhi, and asked the imperial court to severely punish them.

After Wan Yan Changzhi received Zhang Hu's report, he was also furious, he couldn't imagine that Dajin actually had so many corrupt officials and criminals who had no way to see the king, so he immediately issued an order to arrest all the people reported by Zhang Hu back to Zhongdu, and Wan Yan Fushou presided over the verification and review. Because the evidence provided by Zhang Hu was conclusive and could not be denied, it was quickly clarified. This time, a total of 87 people were arrested, of whom 98 were officials who were responsible for the land inventory and engaged in favoritism, 19 were local tycoons who forcibly resisted the imperial court and resisted the inventory, and 5 were distant branches of the clan.

After Yan Changzhi read the trial, he waved his pen and approved ten words: "Immediately behead, edict the whole country, take it as a warning". The relatives of officials who engaged in favoritism and irregularities were confiscated into the army, and the property of local tycoons who resisted the imperial court was confiscated, and their families were all turned into official slaves.

Although Wanyan Fushou felt that Wanyan Changzhi's sentence was too serious, he also knew that he was determined to do so and could not change, so he could only enforce it.

However, Zhang Hu very much agrees with Wanyan Changzhi's verdict, for some of them, it may be a crime that does not lead to death, but for the overall situation of change, it is a means of killing one and respecting a hundred. During the Warring States Period, Qin Xiao changed the law by using the merchant seedlings, and once killed 700 people, and even Weishui was dyed red, but in the end the reform was guaranteed. Although Zhang Hu did not agree with Shang Ying's approach, he had to admit that this approach was extremely effective.

For some people, the big truth doesn't make sense, and they can only force them with a knife. If the situation in Dajin eases now, Zhang Huhu Xu will use slow persuasion and gradual change in an orderly and gradual way, but now Daikin really can't afford to wait, in this case, using crude methods to enforce it can also be regarded as an effective method.

Sure enough, just after the execution of this group of people, Dajin was shocked again, whether it was the officials who carried out the task of purging the investigation, or the powerful who owned a large amount of land, they all felt chilling, and the opposition in the court suddenly went out, after all, no one dared to take their own heads as a child's play, if the court wanted to investigate, then check, anyway, the land is still their own, just pay some more taxes every year, as for the conscription, it can also be offset with money, just as it is to destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster.
