I Have 100,000 Dead Warriors

"The Song Dynasty needs scholars to govern it. Your Majesty, if you force the gentry to pay taxes together, aren't you afraid that it will discourage scholars all over the world?"

The ministers were frightened by Huirou's policies. They were really afraid that she would do this, and they exaggerated the serious consequences of this action.

It’s almost like saying that if Her Majesty does this, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed.

However, faced with the ministers' eloquent words and sophistry, Huirou sneered.

"No matter how many scholars, landlords, and wealthy businessmen there are in the world, can they be more numerous than ordinary people? He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. This policy is a real benefit to the people. I don't believe that the power of these so-called opponents can surpass that of the common people."

As soon as these words were spoken, the opposing ministers suddenly became like firecrackers that had gone silent.

"Your Majesty the Queen, this..."

"No, this will cause trouble..."

"You...anyway...it's just not possible..."

The ministers hesitated and could not utter a word to refute.

They certainly knew that people who owned large amounts of land only accounted for a small portion of the total population of the Song Dynasty.

The policy of equalizing the land tax and requiring all gentry to pay taxes together would not only not arouse popular unrest, but would also win the hearts of the people and make the foundation of the emperor's rule more stable.

Huirou snorted again, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking? I had already thought about the issue of equalizing the land tax and the gentry paying taxes when I was appointed as the crown prince by the Emperor Retired, but the timing was not ripe, so I had to wait until today. Now that I'm talking to you about this, it's not a discussion, but an order. Whether you agree or not, I've made a decision, and no one can stop me."

Her tone was firm and every word was powerful, like the weight of Mount Tai, unmovable and unshakable.

Hearing this, the ministers' faces became even uglier.

But no matter how unwilling they were, they could do nothing about it.

The emperor in front of him had a completely opposite personality to the retired emperor. He was strong and iron-fisted and never changed his mind.

When she was the crown prince, she killed all the ministers who opposed her.

Now that he holds military power and has ascended the throne as emperor, he is undoubtedly even more terrifying.

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up and said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise. If you don't give up, I will follow your order and measure all the land in the world to facilitate better implementation of the policy."

Hearing this, Huirou was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at this person, and asked: "Very good, what is your name?"

The middle-aged man said: "I am Fan Zhongyan!"

Huirou's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but look at him twice more.

It turns out that this person is Fan Wencheng, a man in history who was always worried about the world before he enjoyed himself and was happy after the world enjoyed itself.

No wonder, no wonder he was the first to stand up and support her policies.

Fan Zhongyan was a famous prime minister and a wise minister of all ages.

Before him, the highest honor the emperor gave to civil officials was "Wenzhen".

But because of him, he was posthumously named "Wenzheng".

Since then, the word "wenzheng" has become the highest pursuit of countless literati.

Being posthumously named "Wenzheng" means that this person had reached a very high level of morality and talent during his lifetime, and was comparable to Fan Wenzheng.

Although they are comparable, many people understand that there can be many Wen Zhengs, but there is only one Fan Wen Zheng.

Just as even if someone is as handsome as Daniel Wu, it is still difficult for him to surpass Daniel Wu himself.

Huirou smiled and said, "Okay, since you have this intention, I will help you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen!"

Fan Zhongyan was overjoyed and bowed immediately.
