The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1084 Do you want to lose face?
This Gu Chengyu is in the capital, Xia Qing still has some troubles in getting rid of this person.As long as the person is transferred to Yingnan Mansion, out of the emperor's nose, it will be much easier for him to deal with this person.

The prince laughed when he heard the words, "Gu Shaoqing? Master Shoufu is joking, right? My father just promoted Gu Shaoqing to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, so you ask me to transfer him to be the magistrate of Yingnan Prefecture. You ask me to make my father Where is it placed? Isn't this a blatant disobedience to the father?"

The crown prince stared at Xia Qing, his face sinking like water, and he glared at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing was a little surprised, the prince usually has a good temper, but he didn't expect to be so angry today?
His Highness the Crown Prince, who always greeted people with a smile and a simple and honest face, was now stern, with his lips tightly pursed, and his chest heaving violently.

Everyone present could see that the prince was very angry, and couldn't help but look at each other, and even glanced at Xia Qing.

They were also very surprised by Xia Qing's words today. The emperor had just promoted Gu Chengyu to be the young minister of Dali Temple, and you asked the prince to tear down the emperor's stage. Isn't this just because you don't take the prince and the emperor seriously?

Could it be that Xia Shoufu looked down on the prince because of the emperor's decree to let him assist the prince in supervising the country?How crazy that must be!

Xia Shoufu's move is to drive a wedge between the prince and the emperor?
But the crown prince is the crown prince after all, the future king of a country.If the crown prince agreed to this matter, he would hate Xia Shoufu afterwards.

"Your Highness, I'm not a joke. Don't get angry, and listen to my humble minister."

Regardless of the strange gazes of everyone in the hall, Xia Shoufu continued, "Jiangnan is much richer than the Northland. All of you here should have no dispute over this, right? Take rice as an example, the output of Jiangnan is more than that of the Northland. Comparable?"

Everyone present nodded their heads. There is no doubt that Jiangnan is rich and prosperous.

"But the imperial treasury is empty, why can't Jiangnan use its strength? Is it because our imperial court is not good at taking advantage of Jiangnan's geographical advantages and cannot collect taxes? According to the officials, Gu Shaoqing is very good at how to make money! If you stay in Jiangnan In a few years, Jiangnan will surely become the purse of our imperial court."

Xia Qing's words made the prince's complexion slightly calm, he still knew Gu Chengyu's ability very well.

There are many special products in the south of the Yangtze River, such as silk, porcelain, grain, tea, etc. These are the bulk of the money.

Even though Jiangnan paid much more taxes than other state capitals every year, the court still didn't get much benefit.

In the final analysis, it is because the taxation of merchants is too low.And Gu Chengyu was able to set up a name cleverly, not only collected taxes, but also made these merchants willingly buy it.

The prince actually thought about it seriously, let's not talk about anything else, from the matter of Cha Yin and the chamber of commerce, it can be seen that Gu Chengyu really has a lot of experience in these things.

"I'm not letting His Royal Highness make a decision directly. You can report this matter to the emperor. Maybe the emperor also thinks this proposal is good?"

Yin Kun was so angry that his nose was crooked. Shall Xia Qing lose face?Is this an attempt to take the little junior far away, so as to stay away from the court?
When I went to Jiangnan, the term expired in three years.Before that, unless the emperor specially called, it was impossible to transfer back to the capital.

But how can the emperor always remember you?If you don't dangle in front of your eyes, it won't be long before the emperor will forget about you.

Besides, even if it is transferred to another place, it can't be a flat transfer, right?Serving as a local official, but still leveling the tune, this is an obvious rise and a dark fall!

It's too chilling for the junior brother to contribute money to the Jiangnan disaster relief, but it ended up like this in the end.

Seeing that the prince was actually considering Xia Qing's suggestion, Yin Kun became anxious.

He hurriedly said: "Master Shou Fu, please forgive me for not agreeing with this. Gu Shaoqing is indeed very capable. If he goes to Jiangnan, he will manage Jiangnan very well. However, Gu Shaoqing is the only one who can be used in the whole court? "

Yin Kun's face was ugly, and his words were very sharp.

"The insufficiency of the national treasury is a matter of the Ministry of Household Affairs. As an official of Dali Temple, Gu Shaoqing went to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief because of the emperor's hand-picked appointment. According to Mr. Shoufu, Gu Shaoqing and the Imperial Academy are also very accomplished in compiling history books. The Imperial Academy How can we let Gu Shaoqing go? Last time in the case of Hejian Mansion, Gu Shaoqing brought all these corrupt officials into one pot. Doesn’t Dali Temple also need Gu Shaoqing? And with the tea tax issue, doesn’t the Ministry of Households need Gu Shaoqing even more?”

Yin Kun also didn't care about offending other yamen, now is a critical moment, who knows what the emperor is thinking?

If the emperor made up his mind to suppress the younger brother's limelight, wouldn't the younger brother really go to Jiangnan to serve as the magistrate?
No one would be able to swallow the breath of a good fourth-rank Beijing official being transferred to Jiangnan as the magistrate.

His intention of saying this was to let the prince consider the talent of the younger brother.No matter what yamen the junior brother is in, he is still looked up to and out of reach by those courtiers.

Xia Qing turned pale when he heard the words, Yin Kun and Gu Chengyu are the same.While removing Gu Chengyu, Yin Kun cannot stay either.

If you cut the weeds without removing the roots, you are asking for trouble for yourself.

When the prince heard what Yin Kun said, he was taken aback.yes!Gu Chengyu is very capable, wouldn't it be better to stay in the capital?

Even if Gu Chengyu is not in Jiangnan, he can still have good suggestions.

Seeing the hesitation on the prince's face, Yin Kun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.This is the bad temper of the prince, he is always indecisive, as the prince of a country, this is really bad!
Xia Qing glanced at Yin Kun sideways, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Deputy Yin is the censor's selfishness, it's better not to be so serious. Gu Shaoqing went to the south of the Yangtze River, it was for the court, how could he set the court for his own selfish desires?" I don’t care about my safety? I know that Vice Minister Yin is reluctant to let his younger brother go to the south of the Yangtze River. But although Gu Shaoqing is a young man, he is an official of the imperial court, so it is better to let him go earlier and let him handle things independently."

Everyone at the scene twitched their foreheads when they heard the words, isn't this too shameless?
Doesn't this mean that Gu Chengyu is a milk baby who has not been weaned and cannot do without his senior brother?

This is a bit too much. Gu Chengyu's performance in the past two years is obvious to all. Which one can the ministers of the DPRK and China think of?

Xia Shoufu's words are really open-eyed and talking nonsense, just like his previous style.

"Master Shoufu's words are wrong! The tea tax and salt tax reforms proposed by Gu Shaoqing are absolutely beyond the imagination of lower officials. Such ability, why do I need lower officials to teach? If this is not considered ability, If you have your own opinions, then it seems that the nephews of the Shoufu family must have more opinions than Gu Shaoqing. Don’t we have a headache about the empty treasury? If we don’t let the nephews of the Shoufu family think about it, I believe it must be better than the incompetent Gu Shaoqing. Much more talented."

The two were fighting with each other, but the prince didn't stop him, and there was no wave in his deep pupils.
