"Yes, Mr. Zengwen was very worried." Su Mingfeng nodded in thought and said, "Now people are at ease, and it is afraid that something big will be difficult to accomplish. Besides, the emperor ordered the landmines, grenades and other powerful weapons built by the military weapon camp have already shown their power in the Guangzhou City Guard Battle. I heard that the improved mines and grenades will be tested soon. If the test is successful, a large number of troops will be assigned to the army. In this way, I am afraid that it will be as powerful as the Qing army."

"The sound is far away and the words are bad. Although the firearm is powerful, the user is always human. Therefore, as long as you catch the person, the firearm is not worth worrying. Furthermore, if Yongli firmly sits in the position of the big throne, your and my good days are probably coming to an end." Huang Rizhang pointed at himself and pointed at Su Mingfeng and said.

“Why?”

"Why? The sound is far away, do you really want to be a loyal minister of Yongli? Haha, you are confused." Huang Rizhang saw that Su Mingfeng did not say anything, and knew that he was shaken in his heart, so he sneered a few times and said, "Who doesn't know the three surnames of Chen, Huang and Su in the entire Guangzhou City? Which one is not a hundred slaves and a hundred fertile land? Yongli obviously wants to make a fuss on the land. If he will give you the decree in the future and give it to the mud legs of the lost land, will you obey the order?"

"No, if that's the case, he will offend the gentry completely. Without the help of the gentry, he will be able to firmly stand up? Besides, the Chen family is the big boss, and Chen Zizhuang must try his best to stop him, right?"

"Impossible? Shengyuan, you underestimate Yongli. He is so cruel. He is already ready to take action." Huang Rizhang said as he stood up, picked up a stack of manuscripts from the desk, handed them to Su Mingfeng, and said, "This is from the cabinet, let's take a look."

Su Mingfeng took it and saw that it was a handwritten manuscript, with very elegant characters, not Huang Rizhang's handwriting. Looking at the content, he saw that the title was "Article of the New Law on Land Reform", and he quickly took a closer look.

The main content of the land reform method is four. One is that all land must be paid taxes according to the number of acres. Whether it is scholars, aristocratic families or royal families, they all follow this example; the other is that the court will take scholars in the future, and all scholars, juren, and Jinshi will double the money and grain originally given by the court, and the imperial court will be exempted from labor service, but the land will no longer be exempted from tax; the other is that the land obtained from the wasteland will be exempted from tax within three years after the court clarifies the number of acres.

These three points have already shocked Su Mingfeng, but the last one completely shocked him: after the land property rights are clearly defined by each household, no transaction is allowed. If the household is cut off from its inheritance, the land will be taken back by the government.

"This, this..." Su Mingfeng was so stupid after reading it that he couldn't speak.

This is too incredible, right? It is equivalent to taking back the landlord’s current privileges and cutting off future thoughts. What’s the use of more money? You are not allowed to buy land!

"This, this, isn't this snatching food from the gentry's mouth? Can it work?" Su Mingfeng looked at Huang Rizhang blankly and finally said a complete sentence.

"Yongli is really cruel and smart. The resistance is great now, but it is much less difficult than restoring the entire country in the future. He is going to destroy the old nobles of the past and build some new nobles." Huang Rizhang narrowed his eyes, looked at the ground in front of him, and said thoughtfully.

"Who wrote this letter of Chen?" Su Mingfeng asked.

"Who else can I have if I am not Qu Shishi? He was appointed as a supplement by Yongli and was very motivated. However, he was fighting against the gentry in the world. It would be great if he could get a whole body!" Huang Rizhang said with a sinister face.

"What was Chen Zizhuang's reaction?"

"Chen Zizhuang? He didn't object. This is understandable. He finally hugged Yongli's thigh and could he let go easily? Besides, I heard that his family has bought a lot of shops recently. It seems that they want to expand their energy into business. Not only him, but all the Grand Secretary in the cabinet did not raise any objections. Some people sincerely support them, while others dare not say it even though they have little complaints."

"Duke Zengwen, stay at home and do not leave. He knows everything about the court. Can you tell me that I am not alone?"

"Yes, there are rivers and lakes where there are people, and there is no ironclad piece in the cabinet."

"How should we do this for the sake of the present?"

"The sound is far away, and we must not wait for the plan for the present. With the means of Yongli, we will not be shaken by time."

"Where are the Tartars? Can they sit still and watch Yongli sit still without paying attention?"

"As the Tartars, you can look forward to it. According to the news from the Ministry of War, the Qing court had divided the troops and killed them from both sides of the east and west. There was Li Chengdong in the east. I guess that if mines and grenades were assigned to the army, they could probably resist for a while, and if there was insufficient attack, they should have more than 500,000 defenses. In the west, there was He Tengjiao in Hunan. It is said that he had accommodated more than 500,000 remnants of the trespasses, which looked quite a lot. However, according to my judgment, this group of mobs could not resist the Tartars army. If Hunan was in a loss, then immediately face Guangxi. Wang Huacheng and Yang Guodong in Guangxi were lacking in talent and lacked courage, which was probably even more difficult to resist. In this way, the west could cause some trouble to Yongli."

Speaking of this, Huang Rizhang looked at Su Mingfeng, and saw that he was thinking, and further solicited: "Shengyuan, if we lose the output on the land, and if we want to have a beautiful wife and concubine, we may not be able to do it."

When Su Mingfeng heard this, he thought of his family's large population and Hongxiu who had just left, he really didn't want to lose his current life.

"Duke Zengwen, don't say these words, my nephew has already made up his mind and must be the case with Zengwen. Tell me, what should I do if I ask my nephew to do?"

"Okay! It's the real man who has a certain plan and is not timid. Don't worry, in the future, we will guarantee that King Tang ascends the throne. You will be the only one in the cabinet."

"So, my nephew thanked me first."

"You don't have to be so polite. You and I have shared honors and disgraces for a long time. The far-reaching voice is, my idea is that while Yongli is not yet firm, we will act separately. First, we will make the voices of opposition louder. Your uncle's court is still there, and there are many former officials. You should use the identity of the Su family to contact people who are dissatisfied with the government. It is best to spread this news and provoke the gentry to ask for the orders; second, we should secretly contact the people in the court who are in charge of the army. There are not many soldiers, but only a thousand people will give him a sudden attack. At that time, the major event will be settled. Even if Li Chengdong and Zhang Jiayu have tens of thousands of elite soldiers outside, they will probably be out of reach."

"The man in charge of the army? Are you talking about Su Xiong?"

"Su Xiong is one. He is in the limelight recently, so I'm afraid it's not easy to attract him. However, I guess he may not really support him, and he is much more afraid of him. He is your brother. If you think of a way, you should give up some money. You can tell him that after the matter is done, the Minister of War will be his. There is another person who also commands the imperial guards, but he is the best candidate."

"Duke Zengwen, are you talking about... Chen Zhongwu?"

"Yes, it's him!"

"No, never..."
