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

Chapter 603

"Indeed! Could it be that Gu Aiqing is also good at medicine?" The emperor joked casually.

Gu Chengyu shook his head. Your dull eyes, bruises under your eyes, and dark circles around your eyes are signs of excessive indulgence and staying up late.

However, this cannot be said.

"My minister is not good at medical skills. I just heard that if you often feel tired, it is not only due to physical reasons, but also may be due to too much psychological pressure. Your Majesty, you might as well adjust your emotions and combine work and rest. , the body must be healthier than before."

Gu Chengyu stated with a serious expression, rolling the eyelids of De'an who was beside him.At the same time, he was slandering in his heart, Mr. Gu's ability to make serious nonsense is not small.

"Oh? You mean, I need to relax and rest more to be healthy?"

In fact, the imperial physician had also instructed in this way, but the emperor always listened to this kind of speech, and his ears were callused, so naturally he listened impatiently.As the king of a country, the emperor wanted to relax, but those courtiers would not allow it.

But Gu Chengyu changed the term, and the emperor found it fresh, so he naturally listened to it.It's a pity that just because you can listen to it doesn't mean you will do it.

Gu Chengyu said this in order to change the subject with the emperor, otherwise if the emperor insists on the matter of age, he is afraid that he will not be able to help but say something that should not be said.

Besides, isn't the most fundamental reason still because the years are not forgiving?If you want him to say, how can a person not grow old?Establishing a prince earlier and choosing the successor of Jiangshan can also save courtiers like them a lot of trouble.

Now I'm afraid that those princes can't wait, and they will continue to act in private one by one, and there will be too much right and wrong.He, a little shrimp, can't stand the torture!
"It's a pity that I can't relax even if I want to! I have too many things to worry about, Gu Aiqing, what do you think I should do?"

This question made Gu Chengyu almost roll his eyes. Wouldn't it be better to go around in circles about what to do?Does he have to jump into the pit voluntarily, so as to appear that the emperor is extremely smart and strategizing?
"Your Majesty! You can find your ministers! Shouldn't the officials of the court help you solve your problems? As ministers, this is our duty. Lord Shoufu, those ministers, etc., all look forward to helping you Bow down!"

Gu Chengyu saw that the emperor did not say the purpose of summoning him today, so he had no choice but to jump down the pit of the emperor.In fact, he is very busy, and there are still two volumes of memorabilia that have not been collated yet!

"Hmph! These people, if they want to talk about benefits, they must run faster than anyone else. When it comes to doing practical things or making up their minds, they all shrink back."

The emperor has been dissatisfied with these people for a long time. They are all high-ranking officials above the second rank. In the early court, they often fought with red faces, but they couldn't get a result.

Gu Chengyu was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, the emperor scolded those high officials in front of him, of course he couldn't answer.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't ask Gu Chengyu to answer at all, but just scolded them again on his own.

"Gu Aiqing! You said that as one of the courtiers, you also want to share my worries?"

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he knew that he could finally get to the point, and he was relieved, the emperor is really free!It seems that there are still too few memorials.

In fact, the emperor made such a big circle because of what happened next, which made him a little hard to say.

"It would be an honor for me to be able to share the worries of the emperor. However, I am afraid that I will not be able to do what I want!"

Gu Chengyu felt that the emperor made such a big detour today, and what he wanted to say was either embarrassing him or embarrassing the emperor himself, so he had to be cautious.

As soon as the emperor heard it, he knew that this son was not slippery, he was a thief.

"Gu Aiqing! I heard that your family got rich because of your soap recipe, is there such a thing?" The emperor walked to the imperial case and sat down, and cast his eyes on Gu Chengyu who was standing in front.

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, how could the emperor suddenly care about his family history?For a moment, he thought of Xia Qing who had been beaten.

I was startled in my heart, the emperor must have taken a fancy to his little money, right?Xia Qing's people took a lot of money, but he didn't have that much.Although restaurants and pastry shops have brought him a lot of profits in the past two years, and makeup fans have also begun to make profits, his little money is really nothing to the treasury.

Gu Chengyu made such a calculation in his mind, let alone, he has really made a lot of money in the past few years, adding up to more than 20 taels.

"cough!"

The emperor's cough instantly pulled Gu Chengyu's wandering mind back.

"Go back to the emperor! Soap is just a small profit! The family of this minister is only earning some money from the small soap workshop, and the expensive soap is all earned by those merchants."

It's not bad to say that his family can't engage in business, but the emperor doesn't know about the money he got from Mr. Wang.

The emperor suddenly laughed, pointed at Gu Chengyu angrily and cursed: "What's the matter? You think I can take a fancy to your little profit?"

The emperor can't see that little money, soap recipes are a good thing, if the soap can be sold in more places, the profit will naturally be considerable.But Gu Chengyu is only a sixth grade, and those merchants would not dare to rely on Gu Chengyu to sell more soap.

However, his purpose today is not here. When he really has no other way in the future, he may really make up his mind.

"Hey! The emperor naturally doesn't like it, but it's just a prescription for the family of the humble minister to make ends meet." Gu Chengyu couldn't believe that the emperor hadn't thought of this soap recipe.

In fact, if the emperor could take Fang Zi away, it would be fine for him to eat meat and drink soup by himself.It's just that there are essential oils in the soap recipe, and he always holds this recipe in his hand, and it is widely used in makeup and powder, so he can't hand it over.

"Who doesn't know about the emptiness of the national treasury nowadays? It's also my incompetence!"

After finishing speaking, the emperor sighed, his brows furrowed, and his mood became depressed.

Gu Chengyu quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I can't blame you for this matter! It was also the previous war that emptied the national treasury. Since the establishment of this dynasty, the people have been recuperating and the taxation is not heavy. Under your rule, the people They live and work in peace and contentment, it can be said that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and it is not far from that prosperous age."

Today, De'an has finally seen Master Gu's words, even if he is dead, he can say he is alive.

When the emperor heard it, his face was calm and he was extremely satisfied.

In fact, what Gu Chengyu said was not all flattery. It is a fact that the taxation of Dayan Dynasty was not high.

The continuous battles of the previous dynasty have left the treasury empty, and it has not slowed down.This country has experienced the last change of dynasty, and now the people have just lived a life that is not too hungry.

As for prosperity and not closing their accounts at night, according to the current point of view, it is far from it.

Although Gu Chengyu's words were exaggerated, but the state treasury was empty, and Emperor Huiming really couldn't be blamed.

　Thank you Time Wutong Kongxin for your reward!
