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

Chapter 622 Transfer?

The second prince looked very calm, with his eyebrows lowered, as if he was thinking about the reform of the salt tax.

The emperor's gaze flicked over the three princes, knowing sons like fathers, he could tell what the eldest and third sons were thinking at a glance.

However, he was somewhat confused about the second child.Is the second child not at all tempted by such a talent?Or, Gu Chengyu was originally the second child.

He remembered that day in the imperial study, the second child recommended Gu Chengyu to him.

But after a while, he denied his thoughts.If Gu Chengyu really belonged to the school of the second child, the second child would not be so mediocre.

In fact, Gu Chengyu has other opinions on the matter of Yanyin, but if he tells the truth, the emperor and those officials will not agree, and those methods will not be able to exchange for the value of the copper lamp.Therefore, he planned to wait for Yanyin to be available in the future, and then bring up the matter of reform.

As long as the emperor and officials saw the benefits brought by salt and tea, it would be easier for him to speak later, and it would be more convincing.

The emperor cleared his throat and said, "Wait for the introduction of the tea introduction, and then reform it after seeing the results. However, even if the tea tax is not as good as the salt tax, the tax is probably not lower than the per capita tax."

The officials in the hall couldn't help but nodded one after another. After all, they were all officials and eunuchs, and tea was a must for the house to entertain guests.Tea is not cheap, needless to say the profits in it.

Just when everyone thought today's court meeting was coming to an end, Shen Shikang from the household department said again, "Your Majesty, I have something else to do, please let me know!"

When the court meeting came here, there was basically nothing to do with Gu Chengyu.However, the meeting is not over yet.Now that he has entered the hall, he should be the last in line, and follow these officials out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony when the morning court is over.

Gu Chengyu took a step to the right and stood in the last seat.

He was thinking in his heart, this time he solved such a big problem for the emperor, and also put forward several suggestions, the emperor wondered if he would praise him.It is impossible for the emperor to let him think of a way every time something happens, but every time he contributes for free, there is no benefit at all.

At this time, it was already three quarters, not to mention that the courtiers were all standing weakly, and even the emperor began to lose his spirits.

"Just tell me!"

"Your Majesty! From the perspective of my humble ministers, Gu Xiuzhuan is quite talented in financial matters. Then why not transfer Gu Xiuzhuan to the Ministry of Household Affairs and stay in the Imperial Academy? Wouldn't it be a waste of talent?"

Shen Shikang has no doubts about Gu Chengyu's ability at this moment. If Gu Chengyu can come to the Ministry of Household Affairs, will he still worry about the empty treasury?Now that we can think of a tea tax, we can think of other ways in the future.

Besides, Gu Chengyu came to the Ministry of Household Affairs. As a subordinate official, if he wanted to get credit, wouldn't he be able to share the benefits as a minister?

Gu Chengyu didn't expect Shen Shikang to make such a request, he frowned, he didn't think about going to the household department yet.

He's going to the household department now, at most he's the head of the department.If there are achievements in the future, then the other upper peaks of the household department, and even Shen Shikang, will share his achievements. How much can he have in his hands?

Besides, although I heard that Shen Shikang's behavior is not that kind of treacherous person, who can remain indifferent before getting promoted and getting rich?Besides, whether it is the kind of conduct rumored is still open to debate.

No, there are too many officials in the household department, even the officials of the sixth rank and the fifth rank, not to mention the minister of the household department and the minister.If someone becomes greedy and wants to take his credit, can he still come to the emperor and cry?

Apart from what happened last time, Zhang Hai from the Imperial Academy still takes good care of him on weekdays.The most important thing is that Zhang Hai himself disdains to take credit for the lower officials.

Besides, if he only stayed in the Imperial Academy for a month or so, would it affect his entry into the cabinet in the future?
Thinking of this, Gu Chengyu became a little nervous, the emperor would agree to Shen Shikang, right?

Gu Chengyu quickly glanced at the emperor's face, not letting go of every expression of the emperor.

"Oh? You mean, let Gu Chengyu go to the household department?" The emperor was a little surprised by Shen Shikang's proposal, but he was also moved when he thought of the tea tax and salt quotation proposed by Gu Chengyu.

This Gu Chengyu is good at collecting money, if he goes to the Ministry of Household Affairs, maybe in the future, he will no longer have to worry about filling the treasury.

Seeing that the emperor was obviously hesitant, Gu Chengyu couldn't help feeling anxious.

Jiang Mingyuan glanced at Gu Chengyu who was standing behind him, trying to see what Gu Chengyu was thinking.It happened that Gu Chengyu felt that someone was watching him, so he looked at Jiang Mingyuan.

Gu Chengyu's heart moved, he refused this matter, it would definitely not work.It is your honor that the Minister of the Household Department has taken a fancy to your ability.If he refused, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to Shen Shikang?The two will definitely end up feuding in the future.

However, it seems inappropriate for Jiang Mingyuan to stand up for him. Isn't that the blame on Jiang Mingyuan?Forget it, he should make another plan!

Gu Chengyu shook his head slightly at Jiang Mingyuan, expressing that he was reluctant.

When Jiang Mingyuan saw it, he knew it.Gu Chengyu's future is very good. If he goes to the Ministry of Household Affairs now, it will hinder his entry into the cabinet in the future.

Yao Qinglan, who stood at the front without saying a word, turned to look at Gu Chengyu.This Gu Chengyu is the younger disciple of his former father-in-law, of course he knows it well.But now that his wife has left and his father-in-law has retired, he and his father-in-law have less time to walk around.

Besides, Mr. Liang has been living in Jingyuan Mansion for the past few years, and then he returned to the capital. The chances of them meeting are even more rare.Therefore, Yao Qinglan really hadn't inquired carefully about this little disciple.

Unexpectedly, the old man accepted such a monstrous disciple, so he couldn't help feeling a little bit worried.

After all, they are considered in-laws. He has to discuss it with his father when he goes back. There are still a few concubines in the family. If they can get married, he can be regarded as a pull for this young man.

As for whether Gu Chengyu would be willing, he didn't even have to think about it.A peasant who has no foundation in the officialdom, so what if he has a senior brother to help him?After all, it is separated by a layer.

Besides, the concubine of his majestic Duke's mansion is not humiliating him.If Gu Chengyu became the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, who would not take a high look at those aristocratic families?
Gu Chengyu didn't know what Yao Qinglan was thinking. If he knew, he would only think that Yao Qinglan felt good about himself.

Jiang Mingyuan thought about it for a while, and planned to say a few words for Gu Chengyu.But as soon as he stepped out of one foot, he heard the emperor speak, so he had to take his foot back slowly.

"Shen Aiqing, I'm afraid you don't know. Gu Chengyu works in the Imperial Academy and has contributed a lot to the compilation of the upcoming canon. If you want to poach Zhang Aiqing's treasure, he will not agree."

After finishing speaking, the emperor smiled, and looked at Gu Chengyu who was relieved, his deep eyes made Gu Chengyu lower his head involuntarily.

Gu Chengyu was indeed relieved to hear the emperor's rejection.No matter what the emperor thinks in his heart, as long as the result is what he wants.
