"This is King Pu's field, 100,000 acres!"

"This is the land of the officials who confiscated their homes before me, 150,000 acres."

From Kaifeng Prefecture to Luoyang Prefecture, the land is in the hands of officials and powerful people.

Zhao Ning said: "I shouldn't tell you this at first, but the bad government of the country and land tax has reached the point where it has to be changed, otherwise the food will be in the hands of these officials."

"Do you know the dangers involved?"

Chen Dong shook his head.

"I don't know how much grain they have. I can't count it. There are also countless officials who evade taxes. The government cannot collect enough agricultural taxes, so they propose to increase taxes on the people, making it difficult for the people to make a living."

"So, how can Gyeonggi Road become the breadbasket of the front line?"

After being prompted by Zhao Ning, Chen Dong immediately wanted to understand.

This is not only because the grain is in the hands of the powerful, but the court has no food and can only buy it, and there is also a summer tax and an autumn tax on food.

In the end, neither the court nor the people had food, and the court had to spend huge sums of money to buy it. In this way, there might not be enough food for the front lines.

If things continue like this, the people will not be able to make a living, there will be strong enemies outside, and the people inside will have nothing to eat but rebel.

this……

Chen Dong's temper immediately rose, and he said excitedly: "This is a national thief!"

Zhao Ning also said: "You are right, these are all thieves who steal the country!"

"Your Majesty, what do you need students to do?"
