After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 175: The Minister of Works passed away, and the agricultural tax was abolished?
【Same month。】

【Chen Huaixin knew Ji Changxi's decision.】

【But he just glanced at the memorial. 】

[So I didn't pay too much attention to this matter. ]

【"after all."】

[“Just as Ji Changxi said.”]

[“Even if the newly compiled book is wrong.”]

[“There are two of us behind this.”]

[“It won’t be like ordinary children, where their entire lives will be affected.”]

【Chen Huaixin could guess it.】

【Why did Ji Changxi do this? 】

[Not only because of my own daughter, but also because of them as a support. 】

[It’s also because my daughter was one of the first to learn. ]

[It will make those teachers dare not be careless in the slightest. ]

[They will focus more on this matter, fearing that there are areas where they are not doing well enough! ]

【“And this.”】

[“It can also let the old Prime Minister’s last efforts be made.”]

[“I won’t make mistakes due to carelessness!”]

【Chen Huaixin exhaled.】

[Not only Ji Changwei comforted herself, Ji Changxi also used his own way to let the old minister who made great contributions to the country pass away more peacefully without having to worry about what happened after his death.]

【“The books on Chinese studies.”】

【"His Majesty."】

[“Do you want to add more content in this area?”]

[The new Prime Minister also noticed what His Majesty was paying attention to. ]

[He simply brought up the issue of educational books and discussed it together.]

[Chen Huaixin has read the memorial, and the general meaning is to ask whether to add some content about His Majesty, His Highness Ji Changxi, and Yu State in the books of Chinese studies.]

【“About Yuguo’s content.”】

[“This can be left behind.”]

【"but."】

【“About me.”】

【“About Ji Changxi.”】

[“Let’s just skip these.”]

【Chen Huaixin shook his head.】

He knows very well.

[When the articles about myself and Ji Changxi appear in the book, the content will be correct as it can be, and the advantages will even be infinitely magnified because of the literati's Spring and Autumn style of writing.]

[He doesn’t want that.]

【Wait until old age.】

[My grandchildren will chase me and ask if I threw a stone to kill the violent soldier.]

[I don’t want my current self to be deified by these textbooks that continue to be passed down!]

[“If Ji Changxi and I were deified.”]

[“No matter what you do now.”]

【“All will be considered correct by future generations!”】

【"them……"】

[“It will be like following the golden rule.”]

"With our words, with our policies, with what we do."

【“Attack those who have different ideas from them!”】

【Chen Huaixin does not want this to happen.】

【He wants to see more. 】

【Then the later generations will respect their predecessors. 】

[But I won’t be constrained by my predecessors! ]

【You can create a path that belongs to your own era! 】

[“This is also the belief that I have been transforming and changing to convey!”]

……

In the Golden Palace.

See Ji Changxi's decision in the future.

The faces of the ministers were filled with surprise.

They didn't expect it.

The future Fourth Princess.

When it comes to my daughter’s education.

To be so...willful!
"and."

"She's not the only one being willful!"

"Even Chen Huaixin acquiesced to her actions!"

"Are they really not worried that their daughters will be influenced by unverified textbooks?!"

These ministers were very confused.

This is something that involves the next generation.

They have always been cautious.

If someone uses books from nowhere and wants to teach their children, they will definitely be kicked out immediately!
"Otherwise, if it affects the children's minds, how can they become qualified successors to us?!"

This is what those ministers thought.

However, the Prime Minister Wang Qianhe next to them did not think that there was anything wrong with the decision made by Chen Huaixin and Ji Changxi.

Since he was born into a powerful family, his ability to bear risks far exceeds that of other children of the same age.

Even if he is influenced by textbooks, it will not ruin his life!

"This."

"That was also Chen Huaixin's idea when he asked Ji Changxi to improve the equipment!"

"That was also Chen Huaixin's plan when he set up test fields in various places!"

"The court's ability to resist risks is obviously stronger than that of the people."

"Then why don't they take the risk themselves in exchange for the people's better lives!"

Wang Qianhe's heart was filled with emotion.

This was Dayu’s idea when he founded the country.

Until now.

Chen Huaixin still adheres to this principle!

"Even though the wind and frost have taken away his youthful appearance, his original intention has not changed at all!"

……

[June, the 16th year of Jingping.]

【Since the death of the old Prime Minister. 】

【The Yu Kingdom has always had many founding ministers who have died of old age or illness due to age or early injuries.】

【Every one or two months.】

[White flags can be seen flying in Chang'an City. 】

【And this time. 】

【The deceased.】

[He is the Minister of Works, one of the six ministries! ]

[This man has been busy since the founding of the country. From cement, to breeding, to railways, almost all civil engineering projects in Yu country are closely related to him! ]

[As for the construction of water conservancy projects, civil engineering projects, etc.]

【It is under his management that things can go so smoothly. 】

[The minister who was once worried about His Majesty and would assign him more work, leaving him no time to rest. ]

【this time……】

【I can really have a good sleep now. 】

[“I will definitely not be called the Minister of Pig Farming in history books, will I? Your Majesty!” On the sickbed, the Minister of Works looked at Chen Huaixin who came to visit him and said this last sentence with a smile.]

[It was also the last voice he left in this world. ]

【And when the family started crying. 】

[There are also many more white banners among the people. 】

【Sobbing.】

【whimper.】

【He chokes up.】

【The cries were heard everywhere.】

[It seemed as if the entire Yu country was plunged into mourning. ]

【"because."】

【“The people actually know it very well.”】

【“Who is good to them?”】

[“The Minister of Works is responsible for civil engineering, water conservancy, and pig farming.”]

[“Not only does it allow many families to work on construction sites during their spare time, they can earn extra money.”]

[“Now they can eat the low-priced pork that they could only buy during the Chinese New Year.”]

【Chen Huaixin sighed.】

【Eat the white rice and the fragrant pork. 】

[This kind of thing that we never dared to think about before can now be seen in all parts of Yu Country. 】

【Then how can the people not remember the founder of the system when he passed away?】

[Among them, the one who cried the most sadly was the Minister of War, who had never shown much emotion.]

[“Didn’t you say that after I die, you would go to my grave and have a few more drinks with me?”]

[“Why are you leaving now?”]

[The Minister of War's eyes were red.]

【People around him persuaded and comforted him. 】

[I was afraid that he would die from excessive grief.]

[But the Minister of War drove these people away, saying: "I will never die before I personally lead the army to fight against Rome!"]

[“That day is not far away! Right? Your Majesty!”]

[The Minister of War looked at Chen Huaixin.]

【Chen Huaixin nodded seriously.】

【"right!"】

[“This day.”]

[“Not long!”]

He didn't lie.

【because.】

【Some time ago.】

[The general of Dayu's expeditionary cavalry has brought new news again. ]

[They have reached an agreement with Rome to use the Parthian Empire as the border, and the two countries will not invade each other! ]

[“It seems that the high-ranking officials of the Parthian Empire have also found out the contents of this agreement.”]

[“At the beginning, they were still wondering.”]

[“Why does the non-aggression agreement between our two countries use the Parthian Empire as the border?”]

[“But he must have figured it out later. His face was darker than coal.”]

[Da Yu's general who led the expeditionary cavalry also reported this matter.]

【certainly. 】

【At this time. 】

[They have retreated to the Western Regions.]

【The reason why I didn’t return to Yu Country.】

[Also on guard against... some possible changes! ] ["And we have been accumulating for more than two years."]

[“Especially.”]

[“With the fast transportation of a steam treasure ship.”]

[“And the training in that small country in the Western Regions.”]

[“Our silver and experience are enough to launch the Silver War against the Parthian Empire!”]

【The new Prime Minister looked at the news and made this judgment.】

[The training of small countries in the Western Regions began more than a year ago.]

[After seeing that the treasury reserves of Yu Country did not decrease due to spending, but the more they spent, the more they saved, and the development of Yu Country was getting better and better. ]

[The new Prime Minister is simply amazed at his own Majesty! ]

[He had never thought of using the resources of another country to help his own country develop, and others would thank him for the war! ]

【"so."】

[“When I have time.”]

【“You come to school.”】

[“Come with me for a few more lessons in arithmetic.”]

[“You know what’s going on.”]

[The Minister of Revenue looked at the new Prime Minister's emotional expression and smiled.]

[He had said before that he would go to school to learn arithmetic, and he really took action.]

[That is why he is the only one who understands the principles of the Silver War that Your Majesty has launched! ]

[And when Chen Huaixin handed over the details of the silver war against the Parthian Empire to him. ]

[He nodded without any hesitation.]

[“I will definitely live up to your majesty’s expectations!”]

[The Minister of Revenue has this confidence.]

[The Minister of War came to him and asked him if it would be appropriate to dismember the Parthian Empire so that he could really fight the Roman Empire.]

[He looked at the Minister of War's white hair and hesitated for a moment before speaking.]

【“Don’t worry.”】

[“I will definitely…”]

【“You will get what you want!”】

……

In the Golden Palace.

Watching the death of the Minister of Works of Yu State.

Wang Qianhe breathed a sigh of helplessness.

he knows.

In the future deduction.

This kind of birth, aging, sickness and death.

It will become more and more frequent!
"because."

"The founding heroes of Yu Country."

“Many are about to reach their deadline.”

Wang Qianhe shook his head.

However, a hint of envy appeared on the face of the eldest princess, Ji Changning.

Because what she noticed was that Yuguo’s successors were emerging in endlessly!

Even if an important minister died of illness, even if a minister died of old age.

However, the development of Yu Country was not affected much, and there was not even any sign of temporary stagnation!
"Then the newcomers can well take over the work of the deceased."

"Behind them, there are younger people who are slowly honing their skills."

“We are not afraid of gaps, we are not afraid of a lack of talent, we are not afraid of the country being unable to support us!”

"The future of Yuguo... is really enviable."

Ji Changning let out a long sigh.

By contrast.

They inherited the country.

Not only did he not die, but he was also a minister who was worried about the country.

There is no successor who is talented enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

"Such a country."

"How can it not be precarious?"

Ji Changning shook his head.

However, Ji Changxi, one of the princesses, did not care too much about matters of birth, aging, sickness and death.

Because she knew very well that all this was just deduction, and these people in reality were still alive!

Compared to these, she wanted to know more about how far Yu Country’s technology would develop in the future!
"after all."

"Then deduce."

"It shouldn't be long!"

……

[Jingping sixteenth year, July.]

【When the Minister of Revenue was in charge of the Silver War. 】

【After Chen Huaixin finished reading the memorial in his hand. 】

[He did not hesitate any longer.]

【It is decided to implement the land tax distribution! 】

[“After more than a year of preparation and verification of the demonstration zone model.”]

[“This tax-sharing system has been proven.”]

[“It is indeed better than the single whip method.”]

【“It can also benefit the people.”】

【“It can reduce more burden!”】

[The new Prime Minister spoke.]

[He started to implement the policy of allocating land tax to each acre in the demonstration area before the tax was collected last year. Now that the grain is about to be harvested and taxed, it is most appropriate to implement the policy at this time.]

[This is also Chen Huaixin’s idea! ]

【And when this happened. 】

【Published in the imperial court newspaper.】

【After informing the people in each city. 】

[Compared to the initial implementation of the Single Whip Law, some people still suspected that the court was going to increase taxes again. ]

[The people now no longer have such doubts, because they all know very well that every policy of the court is for their own good! ]

[“Since Your Majesty wants to change the current taxation method, there must be a better way!”]

[“If it were the imperial court in the past, they would have squeezed out all the money and grain we have!”]

[“But the imperial court now hopes that every household in our country can store more grain!”]

[“Your Majesty is doing this for our own good. How can we refuse his kindness?”]

【“…”】

【This is what the people think. 】

[This is also the public support that Chen Huaixin has gained during his 16 years in office! ]

【You can say that.】

[As long as it's not something too outrageous. ]

【As long as it is in the newspaper. 】

[The first reaction of the people will be to trust the court and to trust Your Majesty! ]

[The credibility of the imperial court built over the past sixteen years! ]

[Let Yuguo do anything now, it will be much easier than before! 】

[“That’s a good thing.”]

【"Your Majesty."】

[“When businessmen and government officials collude to get involved in newspapers.”]

[“He wiped out these people without hesitation!”]

【"otherwise."】

【“The people’s trust in newspapers.”】

[“I’m afraid it won’t be like this now!”]

【The new Prime Minister was filled with emotion. 】

【When the land tax was officially implemented. 】

【The people were surprised to find out. 】

[The money and food left in my hands is much more than before. ]

[Their faces were filled with smiles, and they were filled with gratitude for the court's new policies.]

[The trust in the imperial court has also reached an unprecedented high! ]

【only.】

【For some local governments. 】

【This is not good news.】

【because.】

【The impact of the land tax is multifaceted. 】

【Some of their rights have also been weakened by this policy.】

[This made them, who originally thought they had mastered the One Whip Technique and might be able to do something, sigh helplessly once again.]

【“The court’s new policy.”】

【“Your Majesty’s new arrangement.”】

[“It’s really… too flawless.”]

[The officials didn’t know what to say.]

【And among them. 】

[Some officials have also begun to wake up.]

[It is speculated that the imperial court may have noticed something, so it quickly abolished the one-whip law that was still in use and adopted this new taxation law! ]

【Thinking of this. 】

[These officials immediately broke out in cold sweat.]

【"fine."】

“We didn’t really do anything.”

【"otherwise."】

“It’s not a policy change.”

【“It’s our heads that fell to the ground!”】

[These officials are filled with relief.]

[They have not forgotten that when the Ministry of Justice was in charge of the case, there was really a bloodbath! ]

[The frightening memories instantly made them forget some of the little thoughts in their hearts, and they were truly wholeheartedly thinking about the people.]

[And the opinions of the common people could also be transmitted to the palace.]

[Ji Changwei looked at her eldest son and was talking to Chen Huaixin about the praises from the people.]

[The smile in her eyes overflowed. ]

【Wait until the eldest son leaves. 】

[She walked to Chen Huaixin and said, "Your Majesty, your new policy has been welcomed by the people again. In the future, I, Dayu, should continue to maintain this agricultural tax law."]

[In Ji Changwei's opinion, the abolition of the head tax is already the peak of agricultural taxation, and there is not much room for improvement! ]

【but. 】

【After hearing what she said. 】

【Chen Huaixin shook his head.】

【“Can it continue forever?”】

【"No!"】

【“This is only temporary.”】

[“Canceling agricultural taxes… this is Dayu’s real goal!”]
