Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Bah! This little brat!

Emperor Xuan smiled and said something disdainful.

He turned around with a serious expression and handed the memorial to the prince.

"Prince, summon all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to verify the efficacy of this ancient prescription. If it is indeed as Xu Jinyu said, immediately post a notice throughout the country and ask all the doctors in the world to go to Jiangnan with you."

The Crown Prince: "Including doctors from Dai Viet and Dai Wu?"

"Of course, there will be no Dayue and Dayu in the future. They are all prefectures of my Daqian."

"With this method of curing smallpox hanging around, I don't believe those people in Jiangnan would rather put money than life."

Xu Jinyu blinked, and then blinked again, sighing at Emperor Xuan's brain.

[The emperor meant to use this smallpox treatment method to threaten the gentry in Jiangnan. If you don't cooperate, then you can forget about getting vaccinated. For the sake of their lives, the gentry in Jiangnan can only cooperate.]

The Minister of Revenue nodded with a smile.

Not only that, if the gentry in Jiangnan are unwilling to cooperate, they can be made to experience the despair of having smallpox.

Moreover, after this incident, it can be said that the hearts of the people in the world are all with Daqian.

There is no need to worry about the instability of the people of Da Wu and Da Yue anymore.

Lord Xu’s memorial is well written!

Simply great!

Both the timing and the effect are perfect, and they fit the current situation perfectly.

When did Lord Xu become so smart, or was it that several years of court life finally trained Xu Jinyu into a smart person?

Looking at Emperor Xuan who was smiling broadly, Xu Jinyu touched his head.

[I was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse. I was looking for a method that would make a big splash, but I didn’t expect it would also be useful in promoting tax reform.]

Minister of Revenue: It’s a waste of time.

Lord Xu is not cut out for the job in the imperial court.

After the morning court session, several imperial edicts were issued in succession, and the whole world was in an uproar.

The gentry hated the tax reform with gnashing teeth, but they had to obey.

You may not die if you protest against the policies implemented by the imperial court, but there is a 50% chance that you will die from smallpox.

The news that the imperial edict allowed all men and women to take the imperial examination made the whole world excited.

Especially the original territories of Da Wu and Da Yue.

These places did not gradually improve the status of women like Daqian did, but directly notified women that they could take the imperial examinations, which made those old scholars furious.

However, these outbursts did not affect the implementation of the policy. They only dared to curse and did not dare to do anything else. The women with knowledgeable background still stepped into the examination room.

Meet their new challenges.

Yang Erniu looked at the girls who entered the examination room with envy. She knew those girls. They were well-known in the county for being well-educated and well-versed in poetry and literature.

Yang Erniu's family was in the cosmetics business, and she was often the one delivering cosmetics to the shop, so she knew these ladies.

"Does Erniu want to go to school too?"

When she heard her mother's voice, Yang Erniu quickly turned around and forced out a cheerful smile.

"My daughter doesn't want to study, she envies these young ladies who can become officials in the future. Besides, what can I do if I want to study? I am almost old enough to get married, it's too late."

Cheng listened to her daughter's sensible words and couldn't help but smile: "Niuniu, don't be envious. Mother will send you to school right away."

Yang Erniu was delighted, but she suppressed her emotion immediately. "Mom, no need! Our family cannot afford the money needed for studying."

Seeing her daughter so sensible, Cheng smiled happily: "It's free, but it's far from home. Do you dare to go?"

When Cheng said this, Yang Erniu immediately realized what place her mother was talking about.

"The vocational and technical school for girls opened by His Royal Highness Prince An!"

"Correct!"

Cheng continued with a smile, "Now that we are the people of Daqian, of course we can go to the capital of Daqian. Several merchants in the county have discussed that it is too late for children of your age to go to school, but you can go to the Women's Vocational and Technical School. It's up to you whether you can go in or not."

Yang Erniu grabbed her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want to go! And I want to earn a title for you."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Similar situations occurred everywhere in the world. There were many families who loved their daughters, and their daughters went to school one after another.

Three months later, Daqian issued another decree, and Daqian had a way to prevent smallpox.

After receiving the news, doctors from all over the world gathered in Jiangnan, waiting for the arrival of Prince Daqian.

The moment the prince stepped into Jiangnan, the roar was like a tsunami, and the prince could not help but lean back.

People may not understand what tax reform means to them, but they know what it means to them that smallpox can be prevented.

Whenever smallpox broke out somewhere, the common people suffered the most deaths, because the initial symptom of smallpox was a persistent high fever. The rich had doctors and medicines, but the common people had to endure it.

The following things went exceptionally smoothly, measuring the land, setting tax collection standards...

In Jiangnan, there were no protests or demonstrations like what Xu Jinyu imagined. The gentry in Jiangnan were quiet enough.

Gentlemen: Dare you not be quiet?

The prince did not come alone, he came with an army, an army that had just retreated from the battlefield. Just standing there, the smell of blood on their bodies made them shiver.

They are greedy for money, but not brainless.

The cold light on the sword cannot be seen.

It took only more than half a year to complete the tax reform in Jiangnan.

When the prince returned to the capital, he happened to catch the parade of successful candidates in that year's imperial examination.

The top scholar was actually a woman.

Although she is a woman, she has long eyebrows, bright eyes and beautiful facial features. The red robe makes this female champion even more beautiful.

It’s just that the third and second place winners looked particularly unhappy.

As a man, he was outshined by a woman.

Especially when his face was dark, the top scholar looked even more beautiful.

All the free handkerchiefs and sachets fell on the number one scholar.

Even when he was paraded through the streets, Tanhualang's face turned pale.

Angry!
