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

Chapter 611 Warning
"The old man has not been in court for a long time, and he has lost his sensitivity to current affairs. Yes! Now that the national treasury is empty, it is imminent to solve the border payment issue. This is not only a big problem that troubles the emperor, but also a big headache for the officials of the whole court. .”

Liang Zhirui was shocked that Gu Chengyu could think so thoroughly.

In fact, the tea tax proposed by Gu Chengyu is considered a benevolent policy, and it does not have much impact on ordinary people. It is better than increasing taxes on ordinary people, right?
The imperial court had already increased the tax once before, but later those courtiers brought up the old matter again, and the emperor suppressed it.

If it really comes to a time of helplessness, it is not impossible to add it again.

Gu Chengyu admits that he has selfish intentions, but so what?He doesn't want to be a Madonna, and he can't bear the burden of a country.

I can only say that I will do my best to minimize the loss.

Liang Zhirui sighed, closed his eyes and nodded, "You did the right thing."

He finally knew why he had to give way to Xia Qing, because he was too benevolent in his approach.

If Dayan is really a peaceful and prosperous world, then his method is indeed suitable.

But now that the Dayan Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles, he is so indecisive and hesitant, he is really not suitable to sit in the position of chief assistant.

Xia Qing was indeed not a good official who cared about the common people, but he was ruthless, resolute, and flexible, which was indeed a lot better than him.

He had been unconvinced before, thinking that the emperor annoyed him because of alchemy.

Thinking about it now, the emperor agreed to his resignation, perhaps it was well thought out.Ignoring Xia Qing's confrontation with him before, he had already had such an idea.

It's just to take care of his face, so it's not easy to mention it directly!

After thinking this through, Liang Zhirui felt a little depressed.

Seeing that Liang Zhirui lost his energy, Gu Chengyu felt a little worried.

The teacher agreed with him, but he was afraid that the teacher would not be able to get over that hurdle in his heart.

"Teacher, if you really think it's wrong, then the student will find another way for the emperor?"

Gu Chengyu didn't want to offend the teacher, this was the biggest disagreement between the two of them.

He has some past life thinking, but the teacher is an upright person, so he may not be able to accept it.

In fact, he thinks that this point has been mentioned, if the teacher still disagrees, he can only think of other ways, and it will not hurt the fate between master and apprentice.

"No! You did nothing wrong, it's the old man's trick. Regarding the tea tax, those tea merchants and tea farmers are not without benefits, let alone the border payment. There is still Daxing eyeing the border. The soldiers guarding the territory, how can they deduct them? money?"

Liang Zhirui put aside the thoughts in his heart just now, the past is like the past.Now that it's over, you can't worry about it anymore.

Liang Zhirui looked at the young man who was as tall and straight as a green pine in front of him. This boy was so evil, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for this dynasty.

But then he shook his head again, doesn't he understand Gu Chengyu's character?

This is a person who values ​​friendship, otherwise, he would not be able to tolerate his second brother treating him like this to this day.

What's more, because he didn't agree, he was going to give up this matter, which is enough to show that although this son is tactful, he really respects him.

But what should be warned, he still has to say it.This is still a young man, he doesn't want Gu Chengyu to be influenced by the officialdom.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the teacher's face and saw that he had returned to normal. When he said this, it didn't seem like he was forcing it, so he was really relieved.

"Since you have already mentioned this matter to the emperor, how can you give up halfway? Isn't this a crime of deceiving the emperor? Don't worry! The old man is not stubborn yet."

Gu Chengyu also breathed a sigh of relief, he originally planned that the teacher really disagreed, so he had no choice but to take out the glass prescription and stabilize the emperor first.

After all, the tea tax was proposed by him, and he said it was not feasible. Isn't that playing tricks on the emperor?

"However, since you have a smooth temper and a bright mind, the old man is afraid that you will lose your heart in the future when you are ups and downs in the officialdom."

When Liang Zhirui said this, the expression on his face was unprecedentedly solemn.

"You have to remember, no matter when it comes, you must stick to your heart and don't do things that go against your conscience."

This disciple of his is quite capable, if he has a bad intention, no one can resist him!
Gu Chengyu quickly said seriously: "Students remember the teacher's teachings! In the future, try to be as clear as possible."

Liang Zhirui nodded, and then realized, what does it mean to do as much as possible?

Gu Chengyu quickly said with a playful smile: "The teacher still doesn't believe me? With the teacher watching all the time, how dare the students?"

Liang Zhirui rolled his eyes at him unhappily. This disciple is used to coaxing him with good words, "Is this old man going to watch you for the rest of his life? I'm getting old, and you have to go on your own way in the future. You just remember that old man today That's what it says."

When Gu Chengyu heard this, his mood immediately became heavy.

"The teacher is not very old, you are still young! You see, if you go out with me, others will definitely think you are my father."

He has been Liang Zhirui's disciple since he was eight years old, and Liang Zhirui treats him as his own, and is already one of his closest relatives in this world.

"Do you think this old man is your teacher's wife? Only women like your teacher's wife would like to hear these cloyingly sweet words. At this old man's age, he is enough to be your grandfather."

Gu Chengyu didn't want to talk about this topic, it was too heavy, so he immediately yelled: "Oh! It's been a while, and I haven't visited my wife yet! Teacher, is there anything that needs to be corrected? I still have to visit my wife .”

Knowing that Gu Chengyu didn't want to talk about this anymore, Liang Zhirui pointed out two small details in the booklet and asked him to make changes.

"Okay, you have written it very comprehensively, but you have to write about the reduction of land tax for tea farmers."

Liang Zhirui misunderstood Gu Chengyu because he didn't see this incident before.

"This is what the students plan to keep in the courtroom, those..." Gu Chengyu said his plan, Liang Zhirui nodded, and felt that those officials would be more acceptable.

However, "You mean the emperor let you attend the court meeting?"

Officials below the fourth rank are not allowed to participate in the court meeting, and the emperor even granted Gu Chengyu permission to participate in the court meeting.

From this point of view, the emperor valued this disciple much more than he imagined.

"Yes! The emperor only said that the paper must be reviewed by him first."

Although Gu Chengyu said so, he knew that this was the final word.

He also knew the emperor's intention to invite him to attend the court meeting, and it was nothing more than to fight with those courtiers.

The emperor must be impatient to argue with those courtiers, and it happened that this was raised by him again, so he simply threw all these questions to him.

"Anyway, it's your honor. With this honor, you must be cautious and diligent in doing things in the future."

Gu Chengyu understood what Liang Zhirui meant.It's just because someone will definitely be jealous, and then trip him up.

"Students remember!"
