business lady

Chapter 4
In the early dynasty, sitting on the top of the Golden Palace was the emperor in a black dragon robe. He looked handsome and looked about 50 or [-] years old. He had sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, thin lips and short beard, and silver threads could be seen in the tied hair.Flipping through a memorial in his hand.

There was a person kneeling in the court hall, it was Wei Yan, and he said sadly: "I have no way to teach my son, even if this evil person ignores the king's law and commits crimes in the street. I am ashamed of the emperor's long grace, and now I would like to resign from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, please the emperor Grace." After saying that, he bowed.

Good move!I was about to get into trouble with this, so you gave me a preemptive strike, and asked me to dismiss your official position!

Such a sophisticated scheme must have been taught by the old man Wei Guogong. As for Wei Yan, he is still a little tender.

Thinking of this, I flipped through the little red book silently in my heart, and drew a small tick on Wei Guogong's name.Although, you can't really just be your official, but it won't make you feel better, who made you offend Miaocai!

Duan Wang Xia Zhi, the word Miaocai.

Looking at Wei Yan who was kneeling below, his face was full of anger, and he said in an angry tone: "Wei Qing raised a good son, it's better if he doesn't become an official."

Hearing this, Wei Yan panicked, lowered his head fiercely, and kowtowed.

At this time Li Song, the doctor of Jinzi Guanglu, stood up and said: "The emperor is merciful. Although Mr. Wei is not strict in teaching his son, the crime is not so far. Please the emperor lightly punish him."

Minister of Rituals Zhang Yan, Supervisor Wu Zhen and Shaoqing Zhao Qin all stood up and said: "I will reconsider."

"Since this is the case, you can keep Wei Qing's position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials. However, if the official is demoted to one level, he will be fined for one year, and his son will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment to handle it according to the law."

Seeing someone begging for mercy, the emperor walked down the steps. Although he knew that someone would be begging for mercy, he was still upset when he saw it. He took out a small pen in his heart and added a few more strokes to the notebook.

Looking sideways at his son below, seeing that he looked calm and not unhappy, he felt relieved, Xia Zhi did not hide this matter from him, and the one who did the work was the secret guard he gave him.

Then he scanned the courtiers below with his eyes. The Qingliu aristocratic family, the new nobles and the old officials are all wrong, and the whole world seems to be affected by it. The world seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is full of dangers.

Miao Cai, you wait, I will cut them off for you one by one.

Wei Yan kowtowed deeply: "I thank my emperor Long En." This test has been passed.

"What else is there to play?" You are lucky this time, don't be caught by me next time, and it will be on the head of Duan Wangfu.

Then several people stood up and said some trivial things, such as the streets of the capital city where a few bluestone slabs were broken and needed to be renovated, what happened? This year's tribute cloth has flaws, and there is one who said that the girl of someone's family is as beautiful as a flower.

Enough is enough, the emperor looked at the big eunuch Fuxi standing beside him with his eyes.

Fu Xi immediately understood, stepped forward and said, "Retire."

Xia Zhi just watched blankly from the beginning to the end, without saying a word, like a spectator watching today's farce until the end of the show, turning around and leaving.

Dismissing Wei Yan's official position was not my purpose in the first place, and I didn't deliberately conceal it. I believe Duke Wei will find out soon.

Just after leaving the gate of the palace, he saw the eunuch Fuxi coming over, saying that the emperor asked him to go to the imperial study.Turn around and follow Fuxi.

Fuxi led Xia Zhi into the imperial study and retreated. When the emperor and King Duan were together, they didn't want others to wait on them.

"You are here, come and sit." He gestured to the side of the dragon chair, where a chair was placed at some point.

Xia Zhi walked up naturally and sat down on the chair, watching his demeanor and movements, obviously this was not the first time.

"Miaocai blames me for not punishing Wei Yan today?" He looked at Xia Zhi kindly, and didn't even call himself "Zhen".

No one would believe me when I said it, and I never said anything when I was alone with Xia Zhi.

"I didn't intend to punish him severely." I just wanted to beat these aristocratic families through this matter, don't stretch my hand too far, my princess is not something everyone can slander.

"That's good. Take it and have a look. This is the paperwork just handed over by the household department." After speaking, he handed over a memorial paper in his hand.

Xia Zhi took the memorial and flipped through it, and frowned slightly when he saw the back.

The meaning of the above is, the emperor!In the past two years, the tax has been reduced or exempted, and the treasury cannot make ends meet. Please make the emperor's decision.To put it bluntly, your majesty!You are not in charge of the family and do not know how expensive rice is!You have to be a good person, I have no objection, but now the family can't open the pot, you should quickly think of a way!

Lu Qian, Minister of the Household Department, is also a wonderful person. Every time someone wants to spend money, he will cry poorly. The courtiers all say that he is an iron rooster behind his back and call him Lu Pixiu.

"Although this Lu Qian is used to crying about being poor, what he said is true. Now that the national treasury is empty and money is needed everywhere, it's no wonder he always cries about being poor."

In other words, since I let Lu Qian become the Minister of the Household Department, although I can hear crying poor in my ears from time to time, life is indeed much better than before.

A man who doesn't know how to manage money can't afford to be hurt!
"Father, have you thought about a countermeasure?" This lack of money is indeed a headache, and my own Duanwang Mansion used to be like this, but since Jiuyuan came, it has become much better. The truth of a family and a country is actually the same.

"At the moment, we can only cut off the flow, and wait to see this year's autumn harvest."

"En." Xia Zhi nodded, but it's not the way to always do this.

The Kingdom of Xia has been passed on for more than a hundred years, and it is no longer the prosperous era when the country was founded. Officials are corrupt, politics is harsh, and the government is controlled by aristocratic families to check and balance each other.It’s like a traveler on the road. He was traveling lightly, but people keep adding bags to him on the road, and then he has more and more things on his body. Finally, he walks more and more slowly and struggles.

Reform in this country is imminent.

This kind of thing can't be rushed, it has to be done slowly, Chunwei is coming soon, this time it must be handled properly, thinking of this, he said to Xia Zhi: "This year's Chunwei, you will be the examiner."

"Okay, baby, take orders." After thinking for a while, he said, "If nothing happens, I'll go back home first."

"Well, you go back!" As if thinking of something, he said, "The matter between you and Jiu Yuan." He was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"I have a sense of proportion." Xia Zhi walked out after finishing speaking.

"." Choked by him, this child is so unlovable, and I don't know who he looks like with this temper.By the way, neither my mother nor I are like this!

But I heard that there was a younger brother in his mother's family who got lost when he was a child. Could it be like him!Ok!It must be, everyone says that a nephew looks like an uncle.

His majesty's thoughts became farther and farther, and then he took out the little red book and drew a tick on the head of his brother-in-law who had never masked.
