Chapter 992
After cursing and roaring in his heart for a long time, the official finally faced the truth.
Knowing that he was no match for Wei Wu, he simply stood there silently without saying a word.
But then, the thing he least wanted to happen happened.
While he was silent, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again and responded to the issue of land reform.
"Since the Duke of Zhenguo is willing to contribute to the country, I'll leave the tax burden of Changzhou, Suzhou, and Songjiang to you!"
"At the same time, the issue of road construction needs to be addressed promptly so that the road can be repaired as soon as possible to facilitate people's travel."
At this point, the official who stood up and other officials who did not stand up but had connections with Jiangnan fell silent instantly.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang had already said it, the matter of handing over the land consolidation in Jiangnan to Wei Wu was settled.
Even if they all stood up to oppose it, it would be useless and might even anger the almighty emperor.
On the other side, when Wei Wu saw that no one stood up, he immediately bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang to express his gratitude.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely get this done!"
"Well, then, if there's nothing else, let's leave the court!"
Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order and stopped looking at the officials below the stage. He stood up and walked towards the rear hall of Fengxian Hall.
After Zhu Yuanzhang left, all civil and military officials also prepared to leave.
Only the officials who had some connection with Jiangnan glanced at Wei Wu before leaving, and no one knew what they were thinking.
However, Wei Wu ignored them and went straight to the official who was facing him.
Seeing Wei Wu standing in front of him, the official looked at him unhappily, but did not say anything.
Seeing this, Wei Wu chuckled, then deliberately lowered his voice, moved closer and whispered something.
"When you get back, tell those bastards behind you that I'll have some fun with them."
After saying this, without waiting for the official's response, Wei Wu turned around and walked towards the rear hall of Fengxian Hall.
Today, I suddenly applied for land reform in Jiangnan in the court. Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely ask me for details.
Anyway, he would be stopped by the eunuchs, so it would be better to take the initiative and go directly to the back hall to find Zhu Yuanzhang.
Facts proved that Wei Wu was right. He had just turned around when he saw a eunuch walking towards him quickly.
"Duke, His Majesty asked me to inform you to go to the back hall."
"Got it, lead the way!"
Wei Wu responded casually, then followed the eunuch to the back hall.
As soon as he entered the door, before he could say anything, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first.
"Stinky boy, what are you up to today?"
"Hey, Uncle Zhu, I don't want to do this either, but those people from Jiangnan forced me to do this! So I can only play along with them."
As he spoke, Wei Wu quickly came to Zhu Yuanzhang and told him about the road construction and the advice given by Master Zheng.
After listening to Wei Wu's description, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed on the spot.
"Your Master Zheng really gave you a bad idea! Now those gentry in Jiangnan will have a headache."
"When I meet someone like you who doesn't play by the rules, I'm really curious about how you deal with them."
There was a reason why Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, because this time the land reform in Jiangnan was different from the previous one in Shandong.
There are not many fields in Shandong owned by the common people, and most of them are in the hands of the Kong family and other big families.
However, because Wei Wu had dealt with the King of Qingyang, he used the cooperation of the rebels of the White Lotus Sect to stir up trouble everywhere in Shandong.
All the big families were cleared out, the Kong family was destroyed by Wei Wu, and all the land was released.
When Zhu Biao was promoting the policy of equalizing land tax, he encountered almost no resistance and completed the reform easily.
