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

Chapter 632 Violating interests
After Gu Chengyu finished his meal, he took the time to collate the memo.

After all, he still has to draw up a detailed report for the emperor when he goes back. He has almost finished proofreading the memorandum, so he will send it to Mr. Zhang in the afternoon today!After that, I will focus on the matter of Yanyin.

It should be impossible for the emperor to ask him to go to the court to discuss politics this time, and the benefits of Yanyin were also given to him.Although the benefits are not great, Gu Chengyu is very satisfied.

I don't know how his mother felt when she received the imperial document?He guessed he would weep with joy.

Thinking of this, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but feel anxious to go home.This time my father wrote in a letter saying that he would come to the capital to live with him for a while.

Forget it, he can go back in two days.However, thinking of going back, Gu Chengyu remembered the post from the Princess' Mansion.

When I go back today, I have to ask the teacher, if I don't go to the banquet, will there be any hindrance?
The eldest princess is a real golden branch and jade leaf, even those aristocratic families dare not offend.He didn't want to offend the most powerful lady in the capital just after he became an official.

The news of Gu Chengyu's promotion spread all over the Imperial Academy, and even the colleagues in the next room came to congratulate Gu Chengyu.

Of course, they were all officials who were lower than or at the same level as Gu Chengyu, and these people just came to Gu Chengyu to get acquainted.

Gu Chengyu knew that they were looking at his family for the sake of being strong, and in addition, they would become their top leaders in the future. Whether they made friends or not, if they got to know each other well, it would be easier to deal with them in the future.

Otherwise, he has been in the Imperial Academy for more than a month, how could he look at some of the faces so unfamiliar?

Previously, Gu Chengyu and Xia Qing were at odds, and these people did not dare to have anything to do with him.Although I dare not have a close friendship now, it is not considered to be avoiding him anyway.

One afternoon, the room was full of people coming and going, Gu Chengyu was afraid of being too high-profile, so he hurried to Mr. Zhang to hide.

"Jinyu! Congratulations on your promotion!" As soon as Ye Zhiqiu climbed into the carriage, he congratulated Gu Chengyu who was sitting in the carriage.

"You've heard of it too?" The news spread really fast, and in this ancient times without the Internet, the speed is surprising.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled, "A person from the sixth rank came to the early court, and proposed new tax and salt tax reforms. In the early court, he was appointed by the emperor as the official sixth rank attendant. In the past hundred years, only you have the ability to do this." and honor."

Ye Zhiqiu has always felt that Gu Chengyu has extraordinary abilities, as long as he has the opportunity, he will soar into the sky.

It's no wonder Master Wen had such high expectations for Gu Chengyu back then. Gu Chengyu had only been in the private school for less than two years, and Master Wen said that he was no longer capable of teaching Gu Chengyu.

"It just happened to come to my mind. The emperor was worried about the national treasury before and mentioned it in front of me. Now that I have a solution, I can't hide it. Besides, there are still benefits."

Gu Chengyu was a little more casual in front of Ye Zhiqiu, and did not hide his purpose in his words.

In fact, this is human nature. Who doesn't want to be promoted?It's just that some people are not capable enough, and those methods are not something everyone can think of.

"You have to tell me about your tea tax and salt quotations in detail. The emperor hasn't announced it before, so it's hard for you to reveal it. Now it can be regarded as a clear road."

It will take half an hour for the carriage to arrive at Ye's house. Gu Chengyu thought about it, instead of finding another time, it would be better to make it clear to Ye Zhiqiu now.

When they were about to arrive at Ye Zhiqiu's house, the two of them finished talking about it.

"It's hard for you to think of such a method. I really admire it. According to you, the tea tax is imperative. Those tea merchants will definitely be dissatisfied if they want to pay the tea tax. If the tea merchants know It was you who proposed it, and I don't know if I will hate you for it!"

Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help feeling worried.

Gu Chengyu's face froze when he heard this, he had thought about this question before.

The tea tax violated the interests of many officials, tea merchants, and tea farmers. When it was first implemented, it was inevitable that it would be hindered.

The tea tax was proposed by him again, and the officials related to the tea merchants must hate him, and those tea merchants may tell him how to scold him behind his back!Maybe it is very possible to unite with those officials and trick him behind the scenes.

However, as Gu Chengyu was an official of the imperial court, those people still had to be cautious.There is no need to worry about his life, but he is afraid that some stumbling blocks will be caused in his official career in the future.

In fact, the tea tax is not incapable of reaping benefits, there are many benefits in it!It depends on each person's ability. From now on, it is the time for the Eight Immortals to cross the sea and each show their magical powers.

"If the tea tax is not implemented, taxation will inevitably be increased. The treasury has been empty for a long time, and the border payment can no longer be delayed. I am just suggesting that the real decree is the emperor, so you don't have to worry too much."

What is it to bear some infamy?The tea tax has little to do with ordinary people, and even those tea merchants can't make any big waves.If he is timid, then he doesn't need to be an official.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, although he felt that what Gu Chengyu said made sense, he was still worried, so he asked a few more words.

"You serve dim sum too, be careful in the future." Ye Zhiqiu just heard Gu Chengyu say that there was some collusion between tea merchants and officials, so he was very worried.

Otherwise, it's just tea merchants, so Gu Chengyu, as an official of the court, naturally doesn't need to be afraid of them.

"Don't underestimate those tea merchants. As long as they make a living, they will be backed by officials. In this way, you will cause those officials to lose a lot of benefits. When you do things in the officialdom in the future, someone will trip you up. You You probably don't even know which one it is."

Gu Chengyu nodded, "I will pay attention, but since you have chosen to enter the officialdom, don't be afraid of offending people. Interests and positions are different, and everyone will meet a few who don't like you.'

Gu Chengyu said this to Ye Zhiqiu, he wanted to have both sides, and not offend others, unless he had no great ability.

cough!Of course, there is suspicion of arrogance in thinking this way, but it is the truth.

Take Liu Zonghan who worked with him as an example. Liu Zonghan handles interpersonal relationships very well.It's a pity that I don't have much ability, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed there for many years.

Even if you have good friends with the officials of the Imperial Academy and other yamen, but you have no skills, why should they pull you?

Officials are shrewd!I pulled you out today, but you are incompetent, and your performance is mediocre. If you do something stupid, wouldn't it implicate others?
After sending Ye Zhiqiu back to his house, Gu Chengyu asked Ming Yan to drive the carriage to the Liang Mansion.

"My lord! Master Wan Fang has been invited by my younger brother, and he is now in the mansion." Seeing that there were few pedestrians on the road, Ming Yan lowered his voice to report.

After all, I don't know how long my lord will be staying in the Liang Mansion today, so it's better to report this matter earlier, then Gu Wanhua will have to go back to the inn at night.

"Oh? But what reason did you use?" Gu Chengyu didn't expect Mingyan and the others to handle things so efficiently.

"The little guy found out that Master Wan Fang had a classmate who was studying in the capital before, so he sent a post in his name, and that's how he attracted people."
