At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

If the household registration system is combined with taxation and household registration offices are set up in counties and villages, this will greatly reduce corruption and false reporting by officials, protect the people from being exploited by officials and gentry, and make the national treasury richer.

Wen Yan thought that Ren Hao’s proposal for improving the Ministry of Households was very good.

After all, throughout history, corruption among officials has been prevalent, and there have been no good preventive measures.

Li Shiji, who was standing next to him, frowned when he heard this improvement proposal.

It was not that he disagreed with Ren Hao's improvement plan, but the establishment of the Ministry of Revenue in various places involved the interests of local officials and gentry, and they would definitely resist.

This weakened the power of local officials and gentry and strengthened the centralization of power in the capital.

All in all, although this initiative is good, it will certainly encounter many obstacles once it is implemented.

"Minister Ren, your proposal is very good, but have you ever thought that if it is really implemented, it may be resisted by local officials and gentry?" Wen Yan asked, raising his head.

"Your Majesty, there is an old saying in our country that nothing is difficult for one who sets his mind to it."

"As long as we want to do it, there are always more solutions than difficulties."

"We can start with the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing, and then slowly improve outwards." Ren Hao proposed a conservative and moderate method of improvement, without overly radical full implementation.

After all, if you take too big a step, you will pull your crotch.

"But what if they don't agree?" Wen Yan asked again.

The "" she was talking about were none other than the old generation of Ministry of Revenue officials headed by Chen Lang.

"Reform will always involve struggles and sacrifices. I am willing to be the vanguard of Your Majesty and Ren Sikong." Shen He suddenly said.

He sensed an unprecedented path and future from Ren Hao's words. If breaking the old system required struggle and sacrifice, then he was willing to be the first person.

This is not only to repay Ren Hao's kindness, but also to see what the future of the new system will be like.

Ren Hao couldn't help but look at Shen He a little more. He didn't expect that he was so aware.

"I am willing to do so too." Li Shiji also expressed his opinion.

"Since you all have confidence in success, then I agree. You will be directly responsible for recruiting people from various departments of the Ministry of Revenue." Wen Yan waved his hand and decided to give it a try.

If Ren Hao's reform measures for the Ministry of Revenue could be successful, it would be able to curb the trend of official corruption to a great extent and protect the people of the world from excessive exploitation by officials and gentry.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

The three of them kowtowed quickly, then left Tianlu Pavilion and left the palace.

On the way back, the three decided to hold a Ministry of Revenue examination to recruit sons of poor families in the capital and nearby counties.

The content of the examination is the current mathematics, the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art, and the Zhoubi Suanjing.

As for setting questions, Ren Hao handed it over to Shen He and Li Shiji. After all, he knew nothing about current mathematics.

After deciding on this matter, Ren Hao took the two of them to Maozi Restaurant for some drinks when they suddenly heard the neighing of horse hooves in the distance on the street.

I saw a horse pulling a chariot galloping down the street.

The driver did not shout at the pedestrians to get out of the way, but instead waved the whip in his hand to make the horse run faster.

Faced with the reckless chariots, people on the street were frightened and hid everywhere. Pedestrians who did not have time to dodge were knocked down by the chariots and cried out in pain.

The fat man riding in the chariot not only did not ask the driver to stop, but instead burst into laughter and even snatched the driver's whip and drove the horse himself.

"Who is so bold? He even drove chariots into the capital. What are those imperial guards doing?" Ren Hao frowned as he watched. Shen He next to him also felt that this man was really daring.

"Let's just ignore it." Li Shiji shook his head and pointed at the Qin flag on the chariot.

This is the flag of the Liu clan's King Qinxi. The fat man in the car must be the King Qinxi's eldest son, Liu Chen.

"No wonder those imperial guards didn't dare to stop him. It turns out he is the Prince of Qin." Shen He sighed and nodded.

Humph.

"Even if he is the prince of Qin, he must abide by Han laws when he comes to the capital."

"Shi Huan, stop the car for me." Ren Hao next to him ordered.

He was not the kind of person who would stay out of things that did not concern him, so he just watched Liu Chen arrogantly rush into Beijing.

Just then, an old man with unsteady legs fell down on the road.

The chariot showed no sign of slowing down, which frightened the old man so much that he sat on the ground with his eyes wide open.

Just when the horse pulling the chariot was about to hit the old man, fortunately Shi Huan stood in front of the old man.

He raised his fist and punched the horse in the middle on the head with all his strength.

"Ouch!!!"

The warhorse in the middle neighed, then fell to the ground with its head exploded, forcing the chariot to stop.

"There is an assassin, protect the prince!!!"

When the prince's retainers on the chariot saw that Shi Huan dared to block the prince Qin's carriage, they immediately roared and rushed off the chariot.

They all drew their swords from their waists and rushed towards Shi Huan.

"How dare this villain kill my beloved horse? You should chop him into paste and bury him with my beloved horse!!!" Liu Chen shouted angrily while standing on the carriage.

"Stop looking and go help Brother Shi Huan." Li Shiji instructed Liang Hao beside him.

Although Liang Hao was reluctant, he still had to take action.

Just when Liang Hao was about to make a move, suddenly an old Taoist priest in a green robe, carrying a Taoist sword on his back and holding a whisk in his hand, blocked Shi Huan.

"you wanna die!!!"

When the retainer saw that someone dared to meddle in other people's business, he immediately swung the sword in his hand and slashed at the old Taoist priest who was in the way.

The old Taoist priest didn't even draw his Taoist sword. He just used the whisk in his hand to entangle the long sword twice, and then he pushed the long sword back and forth.

"It's... it's a demon."

The retainer had a look of astonishment.

"I'll give it back to you." The old Taoist priest just smiled and returned the sword to the guest.

After seeing how powerful the demon was, the other guests did not dare to step forward.

"Old demon, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This villain killed my beloved horse. He must die today!!!"

Liu Chen was still unwilling to give up and pointed at Shi Huan next to him.

“Every cause has its effect.”

"I am not meddling in other people's business, but trying to stop meaningless killing." The old Taoist priest tried to reason with Liu Chen. If he hadn't been so arrogant and trespassed into the capital, how could Shi Huan have killed his beloved horse in order to save people?

If he had not stopped it in time, those guests would probably have died.

But Liu Chen did not take the old Taoist's words seriously at all and was determined to kill Shi Huan. If the old Taoist dared to stop him, he would kill him too.

"I don't think you dare!!!" Ren Hao stood up at this time.
