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

Chapter 586
If Xia Qing could figure out a way, he must have proposed it long ago. Can he wait until today?

However, he suddenly had an idea, isn't this a good time to dig a hole?
"Your Majesty! There is no good way for mediocre ministers, but the officials in the court must be able to think of a way."

He is going to kick this pot out again, he is a civil servant, as long as he has an idea, other people will do it.

The emperor couldn't help becoming annoyed at Xia Qing's prevarication. If there are officials in the court who can figure out a way, why should he be so annoyed?

This Xia Qing himself is not capable, but the ability to bring disasters to the east is not small.

"I told you to think of a way, but you want to push this matter to others?" The emperor said angrily to Xia Qing.

snort!That Min Feng was still kneeling outside, but Xia Qing still wanted to shirk the matter, why didn't this make him angry?
Now the issue of the salary is causing him a lot of trouble, and the cabinet doesn't want to solve it, it will only use those trivial matters to avoid him.

He didn't know that he had raised so many idlers, all of whom were officials who only stretched out their hands for their salaries but ignored everything.

"I see that you are very idle every day. I don't know what the officials in the cabinet are doing. Is it true that you are all idlers when I support you?"

Xia Qing trembled when he heard the words, he had forgotten his current situation, and he was just habitually pushing out troublesome things.

He lowered his body to the ground, not daring to look up at the emperor's angry expression.

"Please appease your majesty! My minister is also trying to find a solution. As the saying goes, three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang, so there are many ways to solve it. Please let the emperor go back and think about it carefully, and give the emperor an answer when he comes down tomorrow. .”

Xia Qing planned to go back and think about it. At least there were still a few staff members in the mansion discussing it. One person counts the short and the other counts the long. It's better than being forced to give an answer now!
The emperor tried his best to suppress the anger that surged up in his heart. In fact, he also knew that the government and the opposition could not solve the problem, so how could he solve it by himself?

He nodded and said: "Then I will give you a day, and I will give you an answer after tomorrow's court."

Seeing that the emperor opened his mouth, Xia Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The emperor didn't say how much money he wanted, it all depends on Xia Qing's ability.

It's not that the treasury can't be moved, as long as you think of a way, you still worry about whether the money from the treasury can't be returned?
"Your Majesty, what about Min Feng?" Xia Qing looked at the Emperor carefully when he said this.

The emperor smiled coldly, "What? You love this apprentice very much, but he lied to me, and I will always punish him. Otherwise, how can you silence the people in the court? Just let him kneel like this! Tomorrow, I will rest at home for a few days, and find someone else to take over the job in the Imperial Academy."

After the emperor finished speaking, he shouted outside.Hearing the shout, De'an hurried into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty! Do you have something to tell your slaves?" De'an glanced at Xia Qing who was kneeling in front of the imperial case, and thought in his heart, the master and the apprentice are in a difficult situation together!
They are still kneeling!It has been an hour since Shoufu came in, could it be that he has been kneeling until now?

The emperor told De'an what he had done to Min Feng just now, and asked him to inform Zhang Hai.

Even though Xia Qing was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.When Min Feng will come to the Imperial Academy to be on duty, it depends on when he will settle the issue of side pay.

If it wasn't for Xia Qing, the emperor would definitely teach Min Feng a lesson, and it is very possible that he will be demoted to a lower level.It's just that the emperor wanted Xia Qing to work for him, so he naturally gave Min Feng a break.

"Who is that person you are talking about?" After a pause for a while, the emperor's voice suddenly sounded.

Xia Qing was taken aback for a moment, he thought the emperor would not ask.

He was hesitating, the emperor was very dissatisfied with what he said just now, if he mentioned that person, would the emperor think that he was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge?The estrangement against him has deepened, so what should I do?

To say that he has no selfish intentions is definitely not possible.However, he also heard rumors that Gu Chengyu's method of collecting money was very clever.

The Gu family was originally just a farmer, but was led by Gu Chengyu to make a fortune, which shows that they are somewhat capable.

"I'm asking you! Who is that person? Who in the court can think of a good way?"

The emperor had a faint guess in his heart, Xia Qing might name that person.The two have been together for decades, and they understand their temperament and nature well.

Xia Qing must take revenge, and if he can't say it, he wants to take revenge on Gu Chengyu.He planned to reprimand Gu Chengyu severely when Xia Qing spoke out about Gu Chengyu.

But then, he thought of the last time the second child talked about Gu Chengyu being able to earn money.

The emperor thought about it for a while, then maybe Gu Chengyu could really find a way to solve the border payment issue.What's more, it may be able to solve the problem of the empty treasury.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor felt that it was very feasible.

"Your Majesty! In fact, the person I want to recommend is Gu Chengyu. The Emperor is also aware of his ability. Maybe he has a good idea? Besides, I heard that his family has a soap recipe, which makes a lot of money every year. "

Xia Qing had already heard about the huge profits of the soap recipe in Gu Chengyu's hand, so he was naturally envious
.It's a pity that there is a backer behind him, and that is Gu Chengyu's elder brother Yin Kun.

Yin Kun is affiliated to the Supervision Yuan. Although he is a third-rank official, the Supervision Yuan has special powers. The most feared thing is the Supervision Yuan, and nothing is more afraid of Dali Temple.

The duty of the Supervisory Council is to picket and impeach officials exclusively, and it is the yamen for the emperor's eyes and ears.

Those censors spent the whole day looking for the faults of civil and military officials, catching them, and biting them like mad dogs.

Court officials generally don't offend them, otherwise he can dig out all the trivial things in the inner courtyard of your house, and take a good look at you.

Therefore, Xia Qing had found out clearly in the early morning. Although his eyes were hot, he still didn't dare to move.

If Gu Chengyu knew about this, he would be glad that he came to the capital, so he would give [-]% of the profit from the soap to his brother, otherwise those officials would have already started to attack the soap recipe.

When the emperor heard this, he sneered.Xia Qing didn't forget to step on Gu Chengyu even now, but it's a pity that as an emperor, how could he take away the livelihood of his courtiers' families, wouldn't this make the world laugh at him?
Besides, soap is not a necessity of life, only those family members who have more than enough money will buy it.

It takes a long time to buy a piece, and the money earned is just a drop in the bucket for the treasury.He looked at Xia Qing's face, maybe he was thinking about it himself?

Of course the emperor knows about soap, the Ministry of Internal Affairs once bought it, and it is really easy to use.

It's just that the Gu family is considered a farming and studying family, and it is impossible to become an imperial merchant, so he didn't bother to think about it.

"I'm afraid you are interested in the profit of Gu's soap, right? As the king of a country, if I take away the wealth of my subjects, wouldn't it make the world laugh at me?"

The emperor has known for a long time that Xia Qing loves money, this is Xia Qing's major weakness, as long as it is not too much, he will naturally turn a blind eye.

He didn't dare to use courtiers who didn't have weaknesses, and those people usually wanted more.

　Your Majesty: Xia Aiqing, have you chopped your hands this time on Double Eleven?

　　Xia Qing: Back to the emperor!Of course Weichen bought his hands, but the courier was still on the way.

　　Your Majesty: Xia Aiqing!Do you read books without commenting or giving votes?I heard that for such a person, the courier will have to wait until Double Twelve to arrive!
　　Xia Qing:.
