Chapter 778 Turmoil? Who dares to stir up trouble?

Fuzhou governor's office.

Su Henian and his son arrived at the Governor's Mansion at noon, but it was getting dark and Yun Zheng still didn't show up.

Even if Yun Zheng didn't show up, except for the beginning, there wasn't even anyone to make tea or talk later.

This feeling of being neglected made Su Henian, who was used to being treated as a guest of honor, very uncomfortable.

He is one of the seven elders of the Su clan, and the leader of the Su clan!

Wherever you go, are you not treated as a distinguished guest?

If it weren't for Yun Zheng's excessive power, Su Henian would have left long ago.

Seeing that Su Henian was getting more and more impatient, Su Huaiyuan hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Dad, since you are here, let's lower ourselves! In front of this prince, we have no place to put on airs..."

Su Huaiyuan felt very helpless.

The elders of the Su clan are accustomed to being domineering and domineering, and they cannot bear the slightest grievance.

He doesn't even look where he is!

Let’s just talk about having sex, that was the former Prime Minister of Gu Fang!

Aren't you still helping Yunzheng honestly?

Jiayao, the princess of Beihuan!

Why don't you marry Yunzheng obediently?

Could it be possible that he thought his status was more noble than Tuohuan and Gayao?

"He is obviously trying to intimidate us!"

Su Henian had a displeased look on his face, "You're a father who shouldn't listen to words, and you're here to humiliate yourself!"

Even if Tuo Huan arranged for someone to refill tea for them, he wouldn't be so angry.

What happened to the prince?

They don't even have the most basic hospitality. Isn't this obviously pushing the Su family towards the imperial court?

This has not yet conquered the world, but it is such a big arrogance.

If this means taking over the world, is that even a big deal?

Besides, they are just here to show their kindness, not to beg Yunzheng!

"Dad, please don't be impatient!"

Su Huaiyuan persuaded again, "We have waited for this time, why not wait a little longer!"

"Humph!"

Su Henian snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Just when Su Huaiyuan was thinking about how to persuade this old stubborn man to straighten his position, he saw Tuo Huan and Ji Ran walking in behind an imposing young man.

Even if they had never met Yun Zheng, they knew that this man must be the famous King Jingbei.

Su Huaiyuan did not dare to neglect, and quickly pulled the somewhat reluctant Su Henian to stand up.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Su Huaiyuan quickly saluted.

Su Henian felt resentful, but in the end he still didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Yun Zheng, so he also followed suit.

However, Su Henian was also a sixth-grade Xuande Lang conferred by the imperial court, and there was no need to bow down to Yun Zheng.

"You two don't need to be polite."

Yun Zheng waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "This king has just arrived in Fuzhou and is busy with official duties, so I have kept you two waiting for a long time."

"Your Majesty is too kind."

Su Huaiyuan smiled apologetically, and Su Henian also forced out a smile.

"sit down!"

Yun Zheng walked over and sat down and said with a smile: "I have complicated matters at hand, so I won't be so polite to you two. I wonder why you two came here?"

Su Huaiyuan said nothing, his eyes fell on Su Henian.

Su Henian suppressed the resentment in his heart, showed an unnatural smile, and said with cupped hands: "The prince led his troops to expand the territory of Daqian. I deeply admire him! I am too old to follow the prince in the battle..."

Su Henian talked a lot of nonsense and then got to the topic.

The Su family is willing to donate 50,000 dans of grain, 1,000 sheep, and 200 pigs to comfort the border troops.

Listening to Su Henian's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

The troops?

What is the situation?

While encouraging people from the Su family to resign, they also send food and meat to the army?

Is this a slap in the face?

Or, who is threatening the Su family from resigning, but they don't want to offend themselves, so they can only show their goodwill by sending food and meat?

This is a bit confusing!

Yun Zheng thought silently for a moment and said with great interest: "I have something unclear, and I hope you two can help me clear up my confusion."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

The look on Su Henian's face became a little more natural.

This prince doesn't seem to be that difficult to deal with.

Although he had neglected them before, he was still polite to others after they arrived.

At least, he didn't act like a prince.

Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes and said curiously: "I have inquired about it and found out that many of the officials who resigned in Fuzhou are related to the Su family! I am very curious, why did they resign en masse?"

Sure enough, I still have to ask this question.

Su Henian smiled helplessly and replied: "I don't dare to deceive the prince. In fact, all the descendants of my Su family who are serving as officials have submitted their resignations to the court!"

There is no need for him to lie to Yunzheng about this matter.

"Have you already submitted your resignation?"

Yun Zheng looked at Su Huaiyuan in surprise, "So, you also handed in your resignation?"

"Yes!"

Su Huaiyuan nodded.

Have you submitted your resignation?

Su Henian looked at Yun Zheng bitterly, "We don't want to do this, but the imperial court..."

Su Henian didn't say anything else.

But the meaning is already clear.

The imperial court forced them to do this.

It would be better to blame this matter on the court.

There is indeed something wrong with Mingzhe's self-protection.

As for who put pressure on the Su family, it was definitely impossible for him to say.

Whoever Yun Zheng thinks is who, that is who he is!

Yun Zheng originally suspected that someone in the court was putting pressure on the Su family, but after hearing what Su Henian said, he did not suspect that Su Henian was lying.

Yun Zheng didn't know whether the third brother wanted to cause trouble, or whether Emperor Wen wanted to test him.

However, it doesn't matter to him.

He is determined to touch the interests of these clans and clans!

Yun Zheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly sighed: "You are really making things difficult for me!"

"What do you mean by the prince's words?"

Su Henian's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Yunzheng doubtfully.

Could it be that Yun Zheng saw that he was lying?

Yun Zheng continued to sigh: "I originally wanted to ask you for a favor, but now I don't know how to ask."

help?

Didn't you guess that he was lying?

Su Henian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked: "What does His Highness want us to do?"

Yunzheng pondered for a moment and then said: "I plan to implement a new tax policy in Fuzhou, and I would like to ask you, the Su family, to take the lead in cooperating with me to implement the new policy..."

With that said, Yun Zheng told the story of sharing the same family.

Moreover, it was explained in detail what it means to divide a small portion into an acre.

After listening to Yunzheng's words, Su Henian's expression suddenly changed.

Divide into acres!

If this new tax system is allowed to be implemented, the Su family will have to pay who knows how much more tax every year!

This clearly shows that they are robbing the rich and giving to the poor in the name of the imperial court!

You want to use the knife on them, but also ask them to cooperate fully?

Su Henian suppressed the anger in his heart and looked troubled: "Your Majesty, the tax system is set by the imperial court!"

"This king knows!"

Yun Zheng nodded slightly, "I sent someone to send a memorial to the imperial court the day before yesterday, detailing the benefits of this tax system of one person per mu! I believe that my father and the imperial court will definitely agree to my implementation of this tax system in Fuzhou. New tax system!”

"This……"

Su Henian's face gradually turned ugly, and he persuaded: "The new tax system of the prince is certainly good! But if the prince implements the new tax system as soon as he concurrently serves as the governor of Fuzhou, it might cause turmoil in Fuzhou!"

"Unrest? Who dares to be unrest?"

Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The implementation of the new tax system is a major event that benefits the country and the people! Who dares to stop me from implementing the new tax system? The sword in my hand does not care whether he is a prince, noble or a landlord!"
