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

"He often told me that it was a pity that he received Your Majesty's favor but could not repay Your Majesty's grace. Now is the time for him to step up and repay the grace."

"He definitely supports the reform of the land system with both hands and feet," Ren Hao said to the emperor.

Wen Yan nodded. Li Shiji's loyalty was indeed beyond doubt.

"What about Xu Qing? Why would he support you?" Wen Yan asked.

"Putting aside the relationship between me and Xu Qing, the reason why Xu Qing supported the land reform was because the war with Wei was extremely costly. Even if there were coal mines that could continuously supply silver to the War God Pass, food and fodder would be a huge problem."

"What the War God Pass lacks is not silver, but food and supplies."

"And the treasury is often empty, and the food and fodder cannot reach the War God Pass in time every time."

"Many times, the food and fodder were provided by the Xu family themselves."

"Once the land reform is successful, we won't have to worry about food and fodder issues anymore, and the Xu family won't have to provide food and fodder due to insufficient food and fodder."

Ren Hao gave examples to the emperor of the reasons why Xu Qing could support it.

Wen Yan nodded and asked why Censor Chen supported the reform of the land system.

He is a typical fence-sitter who only stands on the side of the interested aristocrats.

However, the reform of the land system happened to conflict with their interests, so how could he represent the gentry and stand on the side of reform?

"Your Majesty, Censor Chen is already old and frail. How many more years can he remain as the Imperial Censor?"

"Besides, he has a useless son at home. It is impossible for him to ignore his family for the benefit of the entire noble family."

"This time, he will definitely lobby the students from the aristocratic families to support the reform for the benefit of his family." Ren Hao gave another example.

"That makes sense." Wen Yan nodded. As the saying goes, a hero's father often yields a cowardly son.

Chen Tai, the son of Censor Chen, is quite incompetent, and Wen Yan has known about this for a long time.

The reason why she had not removed Chen Tai from his position as Chief Censor, but had ignored it and pretended not to know, was all because of Censor Chen's face.

She had always planned to replace Chen Tai after Censor Chen died.

"Okay, I believe all the people you mentioned can support the land reform."

"But when you say that the old Confucian scholar Ma Qian would also support it, I really don't believe it at all."

"You have seen how I was scolded by Ma Qian before."

"His and my horoscopes have never been the same." Wen Yan asked again.

"Although he and Your Majesty have different opinions, he does agree on the reform of the land system." Ren Hao replied with a smile.

"Oh."

"What do you mean?" Wen Yan asked puzzledly.

"Although these Confucian scholars are sour and stubborn, they only think about how to leave a good reputation for generations to come, or how to enter the court and gain some real power." Ren Hao analyzed to the emperor.

"You mean that I should give them some rights? In order to gain their support." Wen Yan frowned immediately, quite dissatisfied.

If this group of conservative and stubborn Confucian scholars had some ability, it would not be a bad idea to give them some power, but unfortunately, every day they can only use those old-fashioned words of saints to correct her, which is really annoying.

"Your Majesty, I did not say to give them the power directly." Ren Hao suddenly laughed.

"You are such a bad guy. You actually want to paint a rosy picture for them and take advantage of them." Wen Yan pointed at Ren Hao and laughed at this time.

"hehe."

The king and his minister smiled at each other knowingly.

Then, Wen Yan asked curiously: "But these people can support you, why do you think the prime minister will not support the land system reform?"

"Your Majesty, the people the Prime Minister told me about are not of the same kind. The Prime Minister and his disciples are not from the traditional aristocratic class, but from humble backgrounds that were promoted by the late Emperor."

"They have just gained class privileges and have tasted the taste of privilege. Will they give it up easily?"

"Your Majesty, if this happened to you, could you let it go?" Ren Hao asked back.

Wen Yan was immediately drawn into the situation, and shook her head, saying, "If it were me, I would definitely not let it go. I worked so hard to obtain this privilege, so why can I let the people get it just by a decree?"

"That's it." Ren Hao nodded.

Although the prime minister's disciples were spread throughout the court, they were all from humble backgrounds.

In order to change his humble background, Zhao Ping'an also wanted to find a backer through marriage in the court so that he could better control the government and fight against the aristocracy, so he thought of marrying into the powerful family Xu.

After all, Censor Chen has married into the Li family, the foreign relative, so he cannot be left behind.

The marriage between the Prime Minister and the Xu family was originally a foregone conclusion, but no one expected that it would be messed up by Ren Hao in the end.

Ren Hao's intervention in the marriage between the two families helped the emperor eliminate a major hidden danger.

After all, the prime minister's faction is powerful in the court, and the Xu family is even more powerful in the army.

How could the emperor sleep well with the marriage between the two families? He must be worried every day about whether he could keep his throne.

When it comes to winning people's hearts, Ren Hao is still quite confident.

He was confident that he could convince others to support the land reform.

Seeing that Ren Hao was so confident, Wen Yan nodded with determination and said, "I will leave the matter of reforming the land system to you. I will support you unconditionally."

But again.

"My dear, please don't let me down." Wen Yan said meaningfully.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will never let Your Majesty down. This sun, moon, mountains and rivers..."

Ren Hao swore solemnly, but before he could even utter the word "Kejian", Wen Yan interrupted him by waving her hand and saying, "I believe you. Go quickly. I'm a little tired now."

After saying that, Wen Yan lay down on her side.

Ren Hao nodded silently, bowed and left the emperor's bedroom.

It was already evening when Ren Hao came out of the palace. He had a long conversation with His Majesty for five or six hours.

At this time, there was only one carriage waiting outside the palace, and that was Zhang Tong who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Zhang Tong was leaning against the wheel to rest.

As Ren Hao approached, Zhang Tong opened his eyes and stood up and said, "Master, I thought you were staying in the palace tonight."

"No, I just discussed some important matters with His Majesty." Ren Hao waved his hand and explained. Zhang Tong did not ask what important matters they discussed, but just squatted down to help Ren Hao get into the car.

Ren Hao stepped on Zhang Tong's back to get on the carriage, and Zhang Tong also climbed on and waved the whip to drive the carriage.

"Zhang Tong, let's not go back home yet." Ren Hao ordered.

"Master, why don't you go home so late? Where are you going?" Zhang Tong turned around and asked in confusion.

"Go to Censor Chen's residence. I have something to discuss with him." Ren Hao continued.

"Censor Chen's residence?" Zhang Tong nodded, and then asked, "Master, I don't know where Censor Chen's residence is. Do you know?"
