"I know, that's why I wrote that letter." Seeing Xiao Ningzi's puzzled face, she said, "Come here."
"Yes." Xiao Ningzi put her ear to Nala's mouth. As her lips opened and closed, the surprise in Xiao Ningzi's eyes became more and more serious, until her eyes could hardly accommodate it.
"Is this...this...really feasible? Isn't it too risky? If the news comes out, the second elder brother will probably hate the master even more."
Nara stroked his forehead and said: "I know, but I really don't care about this now. After much thought, I can barely take this path. I have already told Yingge to be careful in his letter.
Don’t show your weakness.”
"I hope everything goes as Master expected." Xiao Ningzi didn't know this. After a long pause, he said softly: "Master saved Ping just to let Ping'er bring this letter to Lord Yingge.
Son’s life?”
"Well, I am now banned by the Emperor, and you cannot go out with me. If you don't use Ping'er, this letter will never reach Yingge's hands."
"This is a last resort, but according to the slave's wishes, the master should tell Lord Inge in the letter and ask him to kill Ping'er immediately after the letter is delivered, so as to vent his anger on the master.
"
Nala held Xiao Ningzi's hand and stood up, looking at the thick night outside and said indifferently: "I also thought about it, but in the end I didn't write it. Instead, I told Yingge to take good care of Ping'er, because I thought of a more
Fun way to play.”
Concubine Qin, let me let you be proud for now. There will be a time when you will regret it in the future!
As for the Niu Hulu clan, hey, this time she was really impressed. She was forced into such an embarrassing situation without even showing her face, but she would not lose. There was only one winner in the harem, and that person was her -
―Nala Lianyi!
Let us say that Yunli followed Yinzhen all the way to Yangxin Hall. After sitting down and serving tea, Yunxiang suddenly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yinzhen raised his head and said in astonishment: "Why are you thanking me for no reason?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for believing that the relationship between my brother and Concubine Xi is innocent." Yunli knew very well that before Ping'er revealed that the Queen was the mastermind behind the scenes, anyone faced with such words would be suspicious of him and Ling Ruo.
Not to mention Yinzhen, who has always been very suspicious, but he not only had no suspicion, but also rewarded himself. Looking back now, it still feels incredible.
Yinzhen said with a smile: "Just like I said when I was in Kunning Palace, you are my seventeenth brother and my minister. It is your duty to be loyal to Concubine Xi. How can I think too much about it, but it is so dangerous?
I don’t want it to happen a second time.”
When he said the last sentence, there was a hint of coldness in Yinzhen's voice that was incompatible with summer, but it made Yunli suddenly understand that Yinzhen didn't really doubt it, he just didn't want to doubt it, and now
It's a warning to myself, no matter what kind of thoughts you have, completely restrain yourself at this moment.
Yinzhen treated Lingruo really well, otherwise he wouldn't have put so much thought into it. Thinking like this, he chuckled and said: "Your Majesty is in the harem now and is favored by the Emperor. How can there be any danger? My brother.
Even if I really want to save him again so that I can get reward from the emperor, there is no place to save him."
Listening to his words, Yinzhen knew that Yunli understood what he meant, so he laughed and scolded: "When did you learn the skill of being glib? Okay, let's get down to business. I called you here because I want to talk to you again."
It’s a matter of spreading one’s family into one’s own land.”
When he mentioned this, Yunli also regained his composure and said: "Has the emperor already decided? I would like to say frankly that it is very important for the government and the public to oppose this matter. Even if the emperor pushes it forward at this time, the effect will be limited."
It won't be good. They say that running a country is like cooking fresh food. You can't rush it. It's better to think about it in the long term."
Yinzhen raised his hand and said: "I understand what you are worried about, but I don't plan to spread it to the whole country at once. Instead, I will find a place to demonstrate first. As long as the results are really achieved here, those officials will
Then we can no longer evade it on the grounds that this method is harmful to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty."
Hearing that this was Yinzhen's original plan, Yunli must have said in his heart: "What the emperor said is a good idea. I wonder if the emperor has a candidate in mind?"
Yinzhen nodded and said: "I have asked Li Wei, the governor of Zhejiang, to handle this matter. He will first try out the new policy of farmland from the west in Zhejiang, and cancel the privileges of the squires, and they will be required to pay taxes according to the law on their land."
Yunli thought for a while and said: "Zhejiang has the most wealthy households and rich land, and Li Wei is a person who can do practical things. It is indeed a good place to use as a pilot project, but it is only in Zhejiang. Will it be missing something?"
Yinzhen frowned slightly and said: "You mean it's not just Zhejiang?"
"Yes, my brother thinks that even if Zhejiang alone can really achieve results, it may not be able to convince all the officials in the court. After all, it is just one place. They can just argue that different places have different conditions and it is not appropriate to implement the method of apportioning one person to one mu.
This is a new policy, but when the time comes, the emperor will do nothing to them."
Yinzhen stood up and walked back and forth in the palace several times, saying, "In your opinion, besides Zhejiang, which place is suitable for implementing the New Deal?"
He chose Zhejiang because all the conditions in Zhejiang were met, especially Li Wei, who was second to none in terms of loyalty and talent. If it were another person, Yinzhen might not have the same confidence.
Yunli also knew about Yinzhen's worries. After pondering for a moment, he said: "What does the emperor think of Henan? The situation in Henan is roughly the same as that in Zhejiang. There are also many wealthy households with land, but Tian Wenjing has always been sincere in his work and is not afraid of anything."
He is extremely loyal to the emperor despite hardships and dangers. In the eyes of my younger brother, he is as good as Mr. Li."
Yinzhen didn't say anything as he thought about it. Although what Yunli said was true, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, Tian Wenjing was very deficient in dealing with people. He was not as smooth as Li Wei.
He was rarely impeached, and if he had not appreciated his loyalty and devoted himself to running his errands, suppressing all the impeachment issues, how could Tian Wenjing have been able to sit in the position of governor of Henan.
After thinking for a long time, Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Old Qi, do you really think Tian Wenjing can take on this important task?"
"My younger brother knows that the emperor is worried that Tian Wenjing does not know how to adapt and will offend others when he implements the New Deal. However, this is an offending job, and even Li Wei cannot handle it unscathed.
Tian Wenjing has a strong personality, is not afraid of what others say, and is serious and uncompromising. I really can't think of a more suitable candidate than him."
Following Yunli's words, Yinzhen finally made up his mind, "Okay, it's settled. Zhejiang and Henan will take the lead in implementing the new policy, canceling the head tax, and dividing the land into acres!"
