The emperor had already anticipated what happened in the court.
But Long Lin's suggestions made him feel very feasible. Only when the people become rich, only when farming becomes easier, and only when the people have more ways to live, can society become unprecedentedly prosperous.
His only question is how to appease these officials who have done great service to the court?
Long Lin's answer was only one word, change.
The emperor was very surprised when he heard this word, and for a moment, he also noticed Long Lin's tough attitude towards this matter.
In an instant, the emperor understood why Long Lin vigorously reformed the school when he first became an official. In the past few years, he also urged the court to conduct imperial examinations every year.
This is to select more officials for the court. If there is no place to place them, we will replace those who are bent on seeking wealth and oppressing the people.
What surprised the emperor even more was that in less than half a year, Long Lin actually arranged for the Ministry of Etiquette to spread schools all over the country. The speed was so fast and the methods were so tough that he even felt that this Long Lin was not what he thought.
So simple.
After schools became widespread, most people had no money at all to send their children to schools.
Long Lin's approach first lowered the threshold for admission to the lowest level, and then proposed a court loan for admission. All those who enroll can borrow more than half of the tuition fee from the court, and they only need to bear a small part.
In this way, although there are still a large number of people who cannot afford to enter the school, at least part of it can still be realized.
A large number of people in the capital were directly assigned to various parts of the country. Around the year before and after, in a short period of time, the entire world was undergoing great changes.
What Long Lin did made the entire court fall into panic.
At the same time, these things spread throughout the world as if they had wings. People everywhere were eagerly waiting for Long Lin to come to them and lead them to reclaim wasteland, and then receive seeds and tools so that they could have
Land that belongs to them.
The call for the Dragon King is unprecedented.
Countless people who owned large amounts of land fell into intense panic in just a moment.
Although the court did not take back their land, Long Lin would never give tools to those who owned the land. If they wanted to own it, they would need to spend money to buy it, and there were restrictions based on the number of people in the family. Among them
, servants, maids and servants will not be counted.
The old general Shangguan looked at Le Leixiao with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Lei, you should talk about it first. You see everyone's reaction is so great, as if they have nothing to eat when the Chinese New Year comes this year, hahaha..."
As he spoke, the old general Shangguan laughed directly.
These laughters immediately aroused angry looks in the ears of the ministers.
After hearing this, Lei Xiao felt helpless in his heart.
During this period of time, the threshold of his mansion was almost flat, and there were countless officials looking for him one after another.
But what can he do?
For Long Lin to do this, he must have obtained the consent of the emperor to transfer the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Work. Although Long Lin now has such power in his hands, how could the emperor not know about such a major matter in advance?
Since he knew it and it still happened, it is natural that the emperor agreed.
Now, the two of them were called directly to the court. How could Lei Xiao not expect the purpose of this.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is acting like this so that all the people in the world will have their own land for nothing. All the land in the world is not the royal land. The land in the world should be owned by the imperial court.
But the adults standing here are all those who have made great contributions to the imperial court, or whose ancestors have made great contributions to the imperial court. Only then can they own the rewarded land, so much fertile land, without a large number of people to cultivate it.
, can only be completely abandoned. The harvest of those newly reclaimed wastelands will definitely not be good. If this continues, I am afraid this year's harvest will be greatly affected.
Your Majesty, the war ahead is not over yet, and now is the time when the world needs to be calmed down. As a result, people are panicking, and I feel that this matter should be stopped in time. Your Majesty, please think again."
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, the ministers behind him immediately spoke in agreement, and their opinions were obviously unprecedentedly unanimous.
After the emperor heard this, his expression remained calm and he looked at the other person.
Shangguan's hometown army, after noticing the emperor's gaze, immediately turned to look at Lei Xiao.
"Mr. Lei, the Lei family has made great contributions. I wonder how many acres of fertile land they have under Mr. Lei's name now?"
Lei Xiao turned his head and immediately looked at the old general Shangguan.
His eyes were full of complex colors.
After asking this question, Mr. Lei could naturally think that this old general Shangguan might have evil intentions.
"General, the fields under my name should be more than 20,000 acres. However, General Shangguan, I'm afraid the fields under your name are no less than mine, right?"
Shangguan's hometown army immediately smiled after hearing this.
He has struggled with this matter for a long time, but other people's words may not be able to touch his heart, but Shangguan Yunxue's words are different.
He knew his granddaughter better than anyone else. She was definitely not simple.
In his opinion, there is only one person in the Shangguan family who can satisfy him. Unfortunately, he is born as a girl, but fortunately, he is also born as a girl.
After Shangguan Yunxue met him, her words completely affected him.
"Master Lei, the field under my name is near the capital, with nearly 30,000 acres of land. In the past, it was managed by the common people, and the harvest was pretty good. With the salary from the imperial court, the life of the Lei family has improved.
It is more than enough. The house is a gift from the emperor, and the annual food and clothing is enough for the palace.
In order not to waste these fertile fields, I decided to return all those fields to the court, and then distribute those fertile fields to the people through the hands of the Dragon King, so that those people can have a way of life."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the court was immediately shocked.
Even the emperor immediately showed surprise after hearing this.
Lei Xiao's expression immediately became very complicated. How much courage does it take to hand over such a large amount of wealth as soon as you say it?
"Old General Shangguan, have you thought about it?"
"Your Majesty, I have thought about it. This is the official seal of those fields. I will return it to the Emperor now."
The old general Shangguan's mouth was full of determination.
After hearing these words, the emperor was very moved in his heart.
"General Shangguan, you have made great contributions to the court. These lands were given to you by the late emperor. I will never go against the will of the late emperor and take back the land you received as a reward. You can continue to keep the land.
, if you spend more money, those people may still be willing to farm for you."
After the emperor finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The ministers below were immediately shocked when they heard this.
