This remark silenced the entire Chuigong Hall in an instant!
Even the previously heated atmosphere seemed to freeze somewhat, and the expressions of many ministers changed dramatically at this moment.
It has arrived!
If the earlier targeting of maritime trade and canal transport was merely to make them cede some benefits,
then this time, it is like placing a knife over all their heads!
It's not just about the farmland.
With the continuous shift of economic focus, although the land of Kyushu remains immensely important today, it has diminished considerably compared to its historical significance.
This is certain.
And the resulting impact is a shift in the attitude of noble families towards land.
Given Gu Hui's reputation, managing farmland isn't much of a challenge!
The real issue is the Investigation Envoy!
Simply put, this official holds too much power!
His authority is so vast that it instills fear in all of them.
