Chapter 693
Another elder, surnamed Tian, ​​said: "Li Tianxing stole Longting, which has already made people and gods angry, and now he wants to tamper with the ancestral system. It is really contemptible. How can such a person be worthy of being an emperor?"

They all thought so, but because of Li Tianxing's unrivaled martial arts, no one dared to speak out.

Xu Guolu meditated for a while: "This precedent must never be set, otherwise how can we be worthy of the rules set by Gaozu, Taizu, Emperor Wu, the rules set by our ancestors, that can be changed if they are changed? That...the one named Feng Yueqing, What is the background? Why does the emperor value him so much?"

A small official said: "Returning to my lord, this person was originally a criminal official. I heard that he assassinated the first two Taiyuan prefects. He mined gold mines privately and traded with foreigners, and made a lot of money from it. The Emperor went to the Taiyuan Mansion to investigate him, but he unexpectedly made such a decision because of his collusion with him."

Xu Guolu understood: "It turns out that he is the culprit. This bastard actually deceived the emperor and wanted to collapse our ancestral system. This person cannot be left behind."

"Hey—it must be." Mr. Tian said: "Mr. Xu Ge doesn't know something. This person has several killers under his command. He is extremely powerful. Moreover, this person is very scheming and scheming."

That can't be left to him.

A group of literati can't get any results from nagging. In the age of martial arts, the most feared thing is to be assassinated, and you have to be careful when holding a meeting.

Half a month later, Feng Yueqing returned to the capital, bringing more than 1000 million taels of banknotes. The person in charge of meeting him was Tian Haofeng, a sage picked up by Li Tianxing on the way. Both are ministers of the household department, but Tian Haofeng is still a scholar of the cabinet, and the official residence is the first grade.

"Master Feng, please sit down." Tian Haofeng prepared a banquet for him.

Feng Yueqing smiled and said: "Don't dare to be, dare not be, Mr. Tian is my boss now, why bother you to treat me, I am flattered."

"You don't need to be like this, Mr. Feng. You and I are serving the emperor, and the emperor has told me many times that you are a capable minister and a good financial manager. I have already asked the emperor to transfer me to the official department. Where I come in. Come, come, Master Feng, let's drink."

After a glass of wine, Tian Haofeng poured him another glass: "I heard that doing business with foreigners was your first choice?"

"Yes."

"Now the ministers in the court are very dissatisfied with this matter, especially Xu Guolu, who is the head of civil servants and has a lot of party members. The business is not easy to handle. I don't dare to say too much in the court now, offending People are always having a hard time.”

Tian Haofeng said that he was a little embarrassed: "But, the emperor just asked me to help you. There is no other way, so I will let go of this face."

Feng Yueqing said: "Commercial business is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It should have been done long ago to make everyone have money. It's just that those veterans have no business sense and think that China is a land of abundance and there is no need to earn money from foreigners. Money. But if they go out for a walk, they will know that foreigners also have a lot of things that we don’t have. Once they do business exchanges, the goods in the hands of ordinary people can be sold, even people who rely on hunting for a living can also get a share. "

Tian Haofeng sighed: "It seems that my brother is sure to win, how about this, after dinner, let's go to the palace to face the saint together."

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, it was already getting dark. The eunuch waited for them at the gate for a long time, then took the two of them to the side hall, and then turned to the back garden, where it was very quiet and suitable for chatting.Li Tianxing asked Xingran to rest too, and sometimes multiple women are multiple burdens.

"Minister Feng Yueqing—"

"Omita Haofeng——"

"Kowtow to the emperor!!"

Li Tianxing raised his hand: "Get up, you two don't need to be formal, I'm from the Jianghu, I don't like these clichés. Sit down, why haven't you eaten yet? I'll let the imperial dining room cook something delicious."

Tian Haofeng seemed to have arrived at his own home: "Your Majesty, we have used them all. Along the way, I had a good chat with Mr. Feng, and we never met. As the emperor said, Mr. Feng is indeed a capable minister."

"I'm ashamed." Feng Yueqing handed the bank note to the eunuch: "Your Majesty, this is the silver taels I earned from tea leaves. The total is 420 million taels. In addition, the gold mine mined by the ministers will make a profit of 700 million taels this year. Instructions are on the way to the capital."

"Is it safe?"

"Safety, I asked two of my subordinates to escort it together. The Red Emperor knows a little bit."

With Xuanyuan Sword Zhongyuan Dianhong escorting him, it must be safe.

I went out just once and made so much money.Moreover, these are only the vanguard, and the money will continue to flow in the future, and the national treasury will not be empty.

Li Tianxing crushed a walnut with one hand and threw it into his mouth: "All the ministers in the court are opposed to trade, and you have a heavy burden. Among these people, especially Xu Guolu, he is a veteran of the fourth generation, and his qualifications are older than the emperor Daxing. Even in the court, there are many gentry who listen to him."

But Feng Yueqing said: "Your Majesty, this is a trivial matter. Civil servants are not afraid of objecting, as long as the generals do not object. I am a vulgar person and a vulgar person. I have never been afraid of gossip, otherwise I would have given up doing business all these years ago. How dare you risk the power of the world?" If you don't go to mine gold mines, you will have enough courage to share the worries for the emperor. I won't take what these old ministers say."

Li Tianxing said: "You can't be careless. You are in charge of the Ministry of Accounting now, and most of the people under you are trained by Xu Guolu. It is not easy for you to sit comfortably as the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting. I need you Is it convenient? If not, I can remove all these people."

"No, I have never been afraid of being obstructed."

Li Tianxing smiled slightly, seeing the right person.

After three consecutive days off, Li Tianxing did not attend the court meeting, he only said that he was not feeling well, and left the affairs of the court to Xu Guolu and Tian Haofeng, because he didn't want to see Feng Yueqing being squeezed out by the people in the court as soon as he came. .

Feng Yueqing took care of the matter at hand and went to the yamen of the household department. As a new official, everyone should have come to see his boss, but no one bought into his account, not even a small secretary in the household department was too lazy to talk to him , which is too much.

Walking into the yamen, Feng Yueqing saw these people drinking tea and chatting, treating him as air.

"Is anyone out of breath?" Feng Yueqing asked.

No one answered.

Feng Yueqing walked to the middle of the hall, found a seat and sat down: "Bring the account book from the household department."

A person walked up to him, arrogantly left a ledger, turned around and left.

"Slow down!" Feng Yueqing was a little annoyed: "I am the Minister of the Household Department appointed by the emperor, you are a little servant, and you don't even say hello when you see me, what's the reason?"

The other party sneered: "Hmph! I'm being rude. I don't take bribes, and I don't take bribes. There is no need to flatter me. Since Mr. Feng is the Minister of the Household Department appointed by the emperor, he should also be a clean and honest official. He definitely doesn't care about these hypocrisy."
