"Your Majesty, the leaders of the Seven Sects have already discussed, and they are very concerned about Xiliang and Youzhou's attitude."

"But the specific content, I don't know."

"As for Li Chengqing's assassination and Li Tang's extermination, they have become vigilant and even guessed my existence."

"The confidential content is still unknown, please be careful, be careful!"

After reading it, Qin Yun's face darkened.

Was Situ Lin's move so quickly alerted by the head of the clan?

Not easy to deal with!

"Old Feng, Situ Lin can't move for the time being, let Jin Yiwei leave the palace."

"You don't need to investigate too deeply, just pay attention to the big movements of the gate valve."

"Yes!" Feng Lao bent over.

"..."

Four days later.

The spring is sunny, the earth is recovering, and the signs of spring are becoming more and more obvious.

After half a month, it will be the season of spring harvest, and the imperial court and the common people will have a bumper harvest!

Qin Yun was extremely caring. He left the palace early in the morning and came to the crop fields outside the imperial capital to check the situation.

Walking through the fields, the wheat and crops all over the mountains and plains are full of vitality.

"This old man, why are you smiling so happily?"

An old man with a full head of white hair glanced at Qin Yun, and then saw that there were many handsome people behind him, so he decided that he was a big shot.

Restraining his smile, he was about to kneel down immediately.

Qin Yun stopped him, and said with a light smile, "Master, there's no need to do that, we're not bad people, we're just here for fun, just ask around."

The old man was dark, wearing a ragged coat with bare shoulders, showing his big yellow teeth.

Respectfully said: "This Lord."

"Responding to your words, the crops are good today, God is merciful, there were countless natural disasters last year, and there were no harvests in many places."

"But today's spring harvest is finally normal."

It could be seen that he was very happy, his eyes narrowed into a line.

Qin Yun was also very happy and was about to speak.

The old man added with a blushing face again: "And yesterday the head of the village also said that the big lords of the Great Xia, in order to show compassion for the people."

"Cooperate with many masters, we will give us more food in the spring harvest."

Qin Yun's smile suddenly froze!

Compassionate? !

Isn't it disgusting to be sympathetic to the people under the eyes of the emperor?

The cabinet ministers and military generals behind them all turned cold and their eyes flickered.

Especially the hot-tempered generals like Yan Zhong were even more angry.

Dissatisfied and scolded: "Old farmer, what do you mean by that!"

"The land was given by today's emperor, how did it become the sympathy of a few powerful people?"

"What are they? How dare they show compassion for the people today?"

The powerful aura made the old man turn pale, kneel down with a plop, and begged for mercy: "Master, it's me, a poor farmer who can't speak."

"Don't blame..."

He was in tears, and was about to kowtow, for fear of causing trouble to his upper body.

Qin Yun knelt down, helped him up, and showed a warm smile: "You don't have to be so afraid, old man."

"Yan Zhong, apologize!" He frowned seriously.

Yan Zhong trembled all over, not daring to hesitate, stepped forward to apologize to the old man obediently: "Master, I lost my composure just now, I'm sorry."

The old man was overwhelmed with flattery, and stretched out his hand again and again, signaling that he didn't dare.

Qin Yun asked again: "Master, just now you said that several powerful families want to distribute more food to farmers, what's going on?"

Seeing that Qin Yun was the leader of the group, the old man looked very awed.

With a hunched back, he quickly explained: "My lord, I didn't say this."

"Anyway, the head of the village, the head of the township, and some high-ranking and respected figures all said so, saying that the big men and women are sympathetic to us low-level farmers."

"It is planned to give us [-]% more grain this spring."

His eyes were red, and he choked with sobs and said: "In the natural disasters of the past few years, we people were often hungry, and my son died of starvation."

"The conscience of heaven and earth, this [-]% grain has already given us scumbags enough to eat for a long time."

Seeing this, Qin Yun was moved.

The cabinet ministers behind him all sighed.

There were too many natural disasters in the past few years, His Majesty was also negligent in government affairs at that time, and the court was chaotic, which led to that situation.

"Master, but I remember that many taxes have been exempted today."

"In your area, it seems that seven or eight out of ten taxes have been exempted."

The old man wiped away his tears and said with a wry smile: "My lord, it is true. The imperial court has done a lot of good things in the past year."

"But it doesn't work."

"Exemption from taxes is not giving us food. We untouchables don't have enough to eat. Tax exemption is just a drop in the bucket."

"Everyone in the village says that His Majesty is going to fight and needs military rations, so how can we control our lives?"

"If we want to have a full stomach, we still have to look at the tenants and these big families. After all, the land is in their hands."
