The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Chapter 285 The Song Dynasty needs change! Change!

Ye Feng rode his warhorse to the city gate. He looked up and saw the white-robed scholar sitting on the city wall and the couplet hanging there.

"One year, two springs, two Augusts, two springs and two autumns in the world!"

The corners of his mouth slightly raised. He didn't expect that the white-robed scholar on the city wall was so amazing. He could think of such an eternal absolute. The momentum of the first couplet was also very good.

"Reporting to the Lord of Zhenguo, this drunkard in white robe has been in our Qinghe County for three days. He has been shouting that no one can write couplets with him, and he will not leave the city wall."

Gu Qing was afraid of offending Ye Feng, so he quickly came to Ye Feng and bowed.

"This guy is not cheating. It is impossible for him to come up with this couplet in such a short time. The first part, 'one year, two springs, two Augusts', means two springs and autumns in the second part."

Su Hong frowned, looking at the couplet, at a loss as to what to do.

"Is the one guarding the country below the city?"

At this moment, the white-robed scholar on the city wall saw Ye Feng coming on a warhorse, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

The reason why he came to Qinghe County for three days was to wait for the arrival of the Lord of the State. In the past six months, he had heard countless rumors about Ye Feng, so he wanted to come and see for himself whether the Lord of the State of the State was as powerful as the rumors said.

"You have been waiting for me here for many days, please come down quickly."

Ye Feng had a faint smile on his face and his eyes narrowed slightly. If he guessed correctly, this white-robed scholar came to Qinghe County just for him.

"hey-hey!"

A stream of spiritual power flowed through the white-robed scholar's body, and he was seen leaping high up from the seventy-eight-zhang-high city wall in one step, his aura not weak at all.

"Wow!"

Everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide when they saw this scene, their faces full of astonishment. They had previously thought that the other party was just a drunkard, relying on his arrogant and domineering couplet, but they didn't expect that this person was so powerful. He could jump down a seven or eight zhang high wall in one step without suffering any injuries, which was enough to show that the other party was very strong.

"I, the humble servant Wang Huanzhi, am here to pay my respects to the Lord of Zhenguo. Please forgive me for asking to see you in this way!" Wang Huanzhi came to a place not far in front of Ye Feng, bowed slightly, and said slowly.

"I don't know why you want to see me?"

Ye Feng looked at Wang Huanzhi opposite him and asked.

"I would like to recommend myself to become the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty." Wang Huanzhi stood up, his face full of energy, his voice neither humble nor arrogant, with an air of pride emanating from him.

"You want to be prime minister?"

Ye Feng didn't expect that Wang Huanzhi was such an interesting person. He wanted to be the prime minister right away. He smiled and said, "Do you know that the prime minister of the Song Dynasty is Li Linpu? You want to be the prime minister. Is he willing?"

"Please forgive me for speaking frankly, but the purpose of the Lord's inspection of the Song Dynasty is to consolidate and unify the entire Song Dynasty and rectify the country."

"Li Linpu is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others. He thinks he can control the entire Song Dynasty by himself. In fact, during the years when he was prime minister, the Song Dynasty was falling apart more and more. The aristocratic families in various places occupied the land, causing the people to suffer unspeakably."

"If it weren't for the appearance of the Zhenguo Jun, who took back the 18 Yanyun Cities with lightning speed, destroyed Ye Wang Zhao Xiong, and intimidated the other three kings, I'm afraid the entire Song Dynasty would have collapsed long ago."

Wang Huanzhi immediately spoke eloquently, completely ignoring the eyes of the people around him. His analysis was very reasonable and he had a thorough understanding of the situation of the Song Dynasty.

"That is to say, King Zhao Yunfei of Dongxuan is timid. If I were him, I would just need to join forces with Lord Changlin and act with lightning speed."

"One will attack the Jinling City of the Great Song Dynasty, and the other will attack the east of the Great Song Dynasty. The Jinling River will be used as the boundary and the rule will be divided along the river. By then, the entire Great Song Dynasty will be full of heroes, and the whole world will be in chaos. No matter how powerful the king is, he will be powerless to save the situation."

Wang Huanzhi did not stop, but continued to speak to Ye Feng.

Su Hong and the others looked extremely ugly.

Only Ye Feng looked calm. He looked at Wang Huanzhi and asked, "In your opinion, how should the court deal with this now?"

"If the Great Song Dynasty had not had the appearance of the King of State, it would have been a dead end. But since the King of State came to the Great Song Dynasty, the Enfeoffment Order he first issued seemed to have no effect, but it set off a time bomb between the princes and their descendants, playing a certain deterrent role."

"Zhenguo Jun led 5,000 cavalrymen to recapture the 18 cities of Yanyun, and destroyed Ye Wang Zhao Xiong and Nanyue Temple, reversing the decline of the Song Dynasty. In the western part of the Song Dynasty, Zhenguo Jun used the cavalry general Huo Yun to create a miracle, destroying the army of Duoyi Wang Ta Yaogan, recaptured Hexi County, and consolidated the situation of foreign invasion."

"In the current situation of the Song Dynasty, King Dongxuan Zhao Yunfei and Lord Changlin Zhao Changlin are the strongest, but they are wary of each other and cannot join forces. This gives us a chance to breathe."

"In my opinion, the most urgent task for the entire Great Song Dynasty is reform! Reform! Only by carrying out a series of reforms in land, military, production, and taxation can the Great Song Dynasty be fully developed."

Gu Qing and the others were all enlightened when they heard Wang Huanzhi's words. They looked at Wang Huanzhi with horror and surprise in their eyes.

Ye Feng had a smile on his face. He naturally knew that if the situation of the Song Dynasty wanted to be reversed, it would need to be reformed. After so many years of development, the land annexation of the Song Dynasty was serious. Without land, the people had no foundation for survival. Naturally, the taxes of the entire Song Dynasty could not be collected in full, and would only become less and less.

This was why, when Ye Feng first arrived in Jinling City, the Song Dynasty’s treasury could not even take out tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Since you proposed the change, I believe you already have a perfect method in your mind, right?" Ye Feng looked at Wang Huanzhi in front of him and asked directly.

"I have divided the reform into two plans, namely the method of enriching the country and the method of strengthening the army. All the implementation details are in this set of scrolls. Please take a look, Lord!"

As Wang Huanzhi spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms and presented it to Ye Feng with both hands.

Ye Feng took the scroll and opened it without hesitation. He looked at it quietly, with a gleam in the depths of his eyes. He had to say that Wang Huanzhi had a good idea.

"The so-called methods of enriching a country include equal taxation of square fields, irrigation of farmland, market exchange, and equal transportation. The so-called methods of strengthening the army include reduction of troops, preservation of horses, supervision of military equipment, and command of troops."

After about half an hour, Ye Feng had finished reviewing the general contents of the changes. Most of them were indeed very good, and only a few needed to be discussed.

"Huainan County just happens to be short of a county governor. You can take up the post after the literary event is over." It was naturally impossible for Ye Feng to directly appoint Wang Huanzhi as prime minister.

As for the art of employing people, Wang Huanzhi's arrogance must be knocked down first, and of course, he must not be discouraged. It just so happens that Huainan County needs a man like Wang Huanzhi to take over, so that it can completely get rid of the control of the King of Huainan. It can also let Ye Feng see Wang Huanzhi's ability, and after destroying Li Linpu in the future, he can be promoted to prime minister and thoroughly implement reforms, which is the most beneficial thing for the Song Dynasty.
