Jiao Fang said while taking out a charter, he said that this was the result of Liu Jin discussing it with him last night, but now he got the charter out like a trick, which is quite interesting, this is obviously what he has been planning for a long time, presumably this charter has been around for some time.

Jiao Fang first called a scribe and passed the charter to Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang only glanced at it slightly, but he didn't feel surprised at all, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't express any opinions, and then circulated it to Zhang Cai.

Zhang Cai read the content of the charter, his eyes couldn't help but flash a glimmer of light, and said: "This is really a long drought and a rainstorm, the officials have been eroded for so long over the years, and now they are finally going to be cleaned, and the factory guards have always been rampant, and now the emperor and Gonggong Liu have the intention of rectification, which is a great joy for the whole world." In my opinion, this change is not only feasible, but also implemented as soon as possible, so that the emperor's grace can bathe the people of the world as soon as possible. ”

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but snort coldly, and when it was passed into his hand, he looked at it carefully, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise, as if there were signs of seizures.

On the surface, there seems to be no problem with the regulations of this change, which lists many of the current evils, such as the East Factory, the West Factory, and Jinyiwei are not restricted, and they are rampant.

However, the solution is very simple, that is, to set up an internal factory on top of the factory guard, and let the inner factory supervise the factory and restrain the factory guard.

Seeing this, Yang Tinghe immediately understood Liu Jin's intentions, although Liu Jin now controls the West Factory, but the East Factory is still in the hands of other eunuchs after all, and Jinyiwei is also firmly controlled in the palm of Liu Chengfeng's hand, so Liu Jin's scope of rights can only be the West Factory, although the West Factory is now like Zhongtian, but after all, it is a little short of breath compared with those profound East Factory and Jinyiwei.

And this inner factory is used to govern the factory guards, which is equivalent to adding a cabinet on top of the six ministries, and who will the palm print eunuch of this inner factory end up in? Isn't that Liu Jin yet?

The so-called change is actually just a means used by Liu Jin to seize power, he is no longer satisfied with the West Factory, but wants to unify the factory guards, so that the factory guards and captains and fans in the world are his minions.

In addition, the charter also restricts officials, saying that officials are corrupt and must be severely punished and strictly guarded, which is quite a bit of a desire to emulate Emperor Taizu's imposition of severe punishment on officials.

It is worth scrutinizing again, restraining officials and curbing corruption seems to be exciting, but it depends on who the person who executes it, if it is Emperor Taizu, it will naturally be regarded as a blessing to the world, and it can bring a lot of benefits to the people of the world. But who is Liu Jin? This guy himself is a big stupid worm, greedy into a surname, his so-called 'harsh punishment', is just a tool used to fight political opponents, Yang Tinghe can almost imagine, if this change is really implemented, then the officials in the world who refuse to obey Liu Jin will become the target of Liu Jin's attack, since then, the DPRK and China are only afraid that Liu Jin's henchmen will be all over the place.

Of course, Liu Jin and Jiao Fang are not fools, although they brought their own selfish interests into the reform, but in the reform of the law, they still implemented some benevolent policies, such as the love tax, the reduction of forced labor, the charter stipulates that since then, all agricultural taxes have been halved, and ordered local officials not to increase the burden of the people in various names.

This is a big deal, after all, the Ming Dynasty has never had such a large-scale precedent for tax reduction, once the law is implemented, many people can get tangible benefits from it.

It's just that Yang Tinghe couldn't help sneering when he saw this, the so-called agricultural tax is now not worthy of the name, back then, most of the sources of the treasury of the Ming Dynasty came from agricultural taxes, but since the emergence of Jubaolou and commercial banks, the proportion of agricultural taxes has become less and less, the annual tax back then was only two or three million taels of silver, and now the agricultural tax is not increasing but decreasing, at most only about 1.5 million, but the annual income of Jubaolou alone has been as high as more than 50 million taels of silver, The agricultural tax has been reduced from a large part of the Ming treasury to a small head in the first few years, and it is not even enough to plug the gaps.

And the so-called reduction of endowment, to put it bluntly, is that Liu Chengfeng has paved the way, and Liu Jin and others can enjoy the success, not only can they use this to buy people's hearts, but also can implement changes in the law, killing two birds with one stone.

It has to be said that there are many old and spicy aspects of this charter, and its three main measures have great demagoguery, whether it is to restrain factories and guards, to curb corruption, or to reduce or reduce taxes, it can not only confuse many people, but also get the support of a considerable number of people.

Yang Tinghe read the charter carefully, his heart was surprised and a little angry, the corner of his eye glanced at Jiao Fang, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, with Liu Jin's knowledge, how could he draw up such a detailed rule for the change? This must be completely from Jiao Fang's handwriting, and Jiao Fang is really not to be underestimated.

Jiao Fang was always smiling, and seeing that Yang Tinghe had turned to the last page, he asked with a smile, "What does Yang Gong think?" ”

Yang Tinghe snorted slightly, and said with a cold attitude: "The old man still said the same thing, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and Jiao Gong's charter is good, but what has always been changed is not glamorous, but in the end, it is infinitely harmful?" This charter can be used for reference, but ......" Yang Tinghe paused here, he is also a very smart person, of course, he knows that directly opposing this charter will only give people a handle when the time comes, and let people attack him for being conservative, so he did not oppose it verbally, but said: "But this thing has to be done slowly, if you want to succeed, you can't do it without ten years and eight years of work." ”

Ten years and eight years...... This is clearly a reluctance to cooperate.

Jiao Fang no longer paid attention to him, but his eyes fell on Li Dongyang: "What about Li Gong, what does Li Gong think?" Jiao Fang looked at Li Dongyang with burning eyes, in the cabinet, he and Zhang Cai were firm reformers, and Yang Tinghe raised opposing opinions, now it depends on Li Dongyang, if such a move is also supported by Li Dongyang, even if it is Li Dongyang's verbal support, this matter will be settled.

Although Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe are wearing a pair of pants, Jiao Fang knows that Li Dongyang has been quite like Liu Gonggong recently, but I don't know if he is willing to support this statement.

Li Dongyang was asked by Jiao Fang, but he didn't answer in a hurry first, but took a sip of tea first, and said slowly in the eyes of the three scholars: "Changing the law is a good thing, as Jiao Gong said, the Ming Dynasty has a lot of stubborn diseases, and it is difficult to return. Therefore......" Li Dongyang paused here, and then said: "The old man supports the change of the law, which is a good thing." ”

Jiao Fang was overjoyed when he heard this, there were already three scholars in the cabinet who supported it, and with the approval of the palace, this matter was a certainty, who would dare to oppose it then? He hurriedly stroked his palms and smiled: "Li Gonggong is righteous, this fist is patriotic, and Liu Gonggong will definitely be able to understand it." If there is no problem with the constitution, then how about submitting it to the court to discuss the rules? ”

Li Dongyang smiled and nodded, "Very good." ”

The two of them sang and harmonized, which immediately made Yang Tinghe stunned at first, and then he was furious, he absolutely didn't believe that Li Dongyang would not understand the intentions in the charter, since Li Dongyang knew, but why did he act for the tiger, do you still think that Liu Jin's authority is not big enough?

But at this time, he was isolated and helpless, and even if he jumped out at this time, it would be useless, so he could only endure the anger in his heart and watch coldly. It's just that the eyes that looked at Li Dongyang were already a little more indifferent.

Jiao Fang was triumphant, Li Dongyang agreed to the charter so quickly It was really beyond his expectations, he had already expected in his heart that Li Dongyang must have been frightened and wanted to cling to Gonggong Liu.

At this time, a scribe outside hurriedly came in and said, "The book handed over by Zonglingfu, Princess Taikang is happy, and Lianzhou sent it quickly......

The emperor had already had an edict that the king of Chu's recital could be presented directly, and when Princess Taikang was involved, the people in the cabinet were stunned for a moment.

The first emperor only had one son and one daughter, and now the emperor has no heirs, and although the remaining princess Taikang is a princess, she is now pregnant, which is also a big deal. Not to mention that the child in the womb of Her Royal Highness the princess is still the king of Chu, and the children of the two people who are most concerned about in this palace are naturally extremely concerned.

The expressions of the four people in the cabinet were one for each other, and when they heard the news, they immediately didn't care about studying the change, Jiao Fang's face was surprised at first, and then fell into silence, obviously a little worried about this sudden news, anyway, now Liu Gonggong and his most important thing is to ensure that the change is smooth, as long as the change is successful, Liu Gonggong's power will be unprecedentedly strong, they don't want to encounter any changes halfway, and Princess Taikang's pregnancy is obviously a kind of change, at least for a considerable period of time in this palace, I don't have so much energy to discuss the change.

"Quick, bring the book, Lord Zhang, you and I will go to the palace together to report the good news." Things have happened, Jiao Fang can't be an ostrich, his eyes fell on Zhang Cai, and it was rumored that this good news was in the name, and the real purpose was to take the opportunity to enter the palace to find Liu Jin to discuss.
