Chapter 644 Countermeasures
When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help being shocked. They didn't expect that your lord's life experience would be so prominent.Isn't the Tianhua Empire that will be established now destined?

Lin Yifan was not so excited, no matter whether he was a descendant of King Qilin or not, it would not affect his authority today at all, if there was, it would be just icing on the cake.

"Hehe, sir, where did you know this?" Although Lin Yifan didn't care, if he wanted to convince everyone, he had to have evidence, otherwise how would he convince them?
"My lord, this matter is also recorded in the history books. Although the length is not large, there is a paragraph of text describing it. It is said that after Duke Changlin went to the fiefdom, King Qilin gave him a unicorn. Duke Changlin and the unicorn became totems and became The symbol of the Ancient Hua Kingdom." Bian Ji smiled and pointed to Niu Dali who stood beside him, "Now, the Duke of the Kingdom named his personal guard the Qilin Guard, isn't it in line with the old system of the Ancient Hua Kingdom?"

Everyone couldn't help but looked at Niu Dali in unison, and they were even more amazed in their hearts.Isn't it true that the adults insisted on changing the personal guards to qilin guards that day, and everyone was still very puzzled, but now they finally understand.

Lin Yifan took off the unicorn from his waist with a wry smile, held it in his hand and showed it to the public. "Sir, you are right. This unicorn pendant was handed over to me by my uncle. On that day, he once said that I, the Lin family, are the descendants of the ancient kings, and this jade pendant has been passed down from generation to generation."

When Mr. Bian Ji heard this, he couldn't help staring at the jade pendant eagerly, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, can you show me this jade pendant?"

Mr. Bian Ji's hobbies in his life, besides reading a lot of books, is to identify ancient relics.It is precisely because of this that I was able to read ancient books about ancient Xinmi in Han Tong's mansion.

Lin Yifan immediately ordered Niu Dali to deliver the jade pendant to Mr. Bian Ji. After Mr. Bian Ji took the jade pendant, he immediately observed it seriously.After a long time, he returned the jade pendant to Niu Dali, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "My lord, it has been confirmed that this jade pendant is indeed an ancient thing, and my lord is a descendant of Duke Changlin."

"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord!" Hearing these words, everyone immediately stood up and bowed.

Lin Yifan took back the jade pendant with a smile, and sighed in his heart, the Lin family is indeed from the lineage of Lord Lin, but I am not from this world.

"My lord, since there was a system of female officials in ancient times, and you are a descendant of an ancient king." Han Song said happily, "Then, my lord implements the system of female officials, which means following the ancient system and imitating the ancestors. In terms of orthodoxy, there is nothing to be done. Accused."

"Well, since that's the case, Minister Dong, you just took over the Cultural and Propaganda Department, so I have a mission for you." Lin Yifan looked at Dong Zhongqing, and said with a smile, "Now the gentry are under the rule of Hengshan, and they are going around slandering the Women's Administration. You launch a public opinion offensive and fully publicize the matter you just discussed. Since I am a descendant of the ancient royal family, then use this as a breakthrough point to establish the orthodox status of our country in Hengshan and the legitimacy of the Women's Administration. Can you Can you do it?"

When Dong Zhongqing heard the words, he immediately raised his chest and said, "I can do it, I will take orders."

Lin Yifan nodded, looked at the crowd and said, "Now that the source of the Women's Administration has been clarified, how should we deal with the dirty water that the nobles poured on the Women's Administration?"

"My lord, this matter also needs to be countered by public opinion." Ye Hongyu pondered, "But in addition, it needs to be changed by the power of the people. The common people of the prefecture still don't know enough about the many systems of our Hengshan. The cancer of the old Confucianism has been passed down among the people for a long time. It is not possible to completely change the views of the common people overnight. Therefore, I think that the local officials of the three prefectures, The officials trained by me in Hengshan must be the main ones, in charge of enlightenment, and gradually guide the people to move closer to my Hengshan system."

"Your Excellency, our Educational Affairs Department can speed up efforts to establish academies in Sanzhou to cooperate with Master Ye in promoting education." Guo Huaili stood up and said in a deep voice. "At the same time, I also thought that, in addition to this, the Women's Administration can also carry out some reforms to improve its system so that the gentry have nowhere to attack."

"Oh, if Minister Guo has any clever plans, you can tell them all." Lin Yifan said immediately with his eyes brightened.

"My lord, the authority of the Women's Administration is too single to make great achievements." Guo Huaili said, "And this is why the gentry's attack on the Women's Administration has no meaning. If this is the case, then we Let’s strengthen the authority of the Women’s Administration and let them make some achievements, so that they can stop the mouth of the gentry.”

Lin Yifan nodded slightly, "Minister Guo's words are reasonable, but how do you think the Women's Administration should be reformed?"

Guo Huaili said with a sneer: "Since the gentry are not used to the existence of the Women's Administration, we will change the Women's Administration to the Women's Administration, only below the Ministry, and receive a fourth-rank salary. Expand its powers, and set up a female teacher under it." Establishment of women's colleges to teach knowledge; Establishment of Women's Workers' Office to teach women's handicrafts; Establishment of Etiquette Office to formulate women's etiquette norms; Establishment of Maids' Office to supervise and review the employment of maidservants by nobles to protect maidservants from being violated by their masters. It is the new authority of the female political secretary, if there are any omissions, I invite you to pick them up."

"Haha, not bad." Lin Yifan laughed, "But it's not enough. I think we should set up another department called the Women's Guards Department to protect women from anyone. What do you think?"

When everyone heard the words, if there was anyone who disagreed, they immediately shouted together: "Your Excellency is wise."

Lin Yifan raised his hand to signal the crowd to be quiet, and suppressed his smile, "Everyone, we have a plan to deal with the gentry, but we should not just react passively, we should take the initiative to counter the opponent and completely defeat their offensive. What can you do? ?”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing bitterly. Your lord actually treated this dispute like killing an enemy on the battlefield.

"My lord, since the gentry could no longer hold back and took the initiative to provoke us at Hengshan, we must teach them a profound lesson to let them know how powerful we are." At this moment, Wang Fugui stood up and said, "Because of the needs of the war, we just stopped The various decrees against the gentry, now that the war has ceased, it is time to restart these policies."

Lin Yifan nodded and said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, I have forgotten these decrees. The few decrees announced a few years ago were enough to punish the gentry. This time, the rest of the decrees are released. I'm afraid these gentry will complain endlessly. Haha!"

"My lord, we need to be more cautious about this matter." Han Song stood up and said, "Now that the Ming and Yan states have not been attached for a long time, it is not appropriate to persecute them too much. I think that the strategy of dividing can be implemented. The policy of weakening the gentry in the Ming and Yan states is postponed. After taming the gentry in Huazhou, the two states will be implemented. Huazhou is the capital of Tianhua Kingdom, and must be integrated into our Hengshan system as soon as possible."

"Well, what Master Han said is reasonable." Lin Yifan nodded slightly, "Then follow what Master Han said, and deal with the Huazhou gentry first."
