Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Chapter 374



In the court hall, it was very quiet, no one spoke for a while, standing in the center of the hall seemed to be able to hear the breathing of others.The smug minister made the original smug expression on his face even stiffer because the emperor hadn't spoken for a long time.Where did he make a mistake? The person who brought him back the notebook said that the content in the notebook will definitely be rewarded by the emperor, and he is very likely to be promoted, but now, he does not even dare to think about it. He thought that he would be satisfied if he didn't make the emperor lose his temper.

Ordinarily, such a proposal, no matter whether it works or not, there will be people responding, either opposing or agreeing. It is rare to see such an extremely quiet situation like now. No wonder the minister who proposed it seems to have changed his face. His face has changed from being proud to now pale.It wasn't until the ministers were flustered by the silence of the court that the emperor said lightly, "What do you think?"

The minister heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to show any other expressions on his face, but if you look closely at his eyes, you can find the pride in his eyes.

When the other ministers had the emperor's words, they discussed in a low voice, and the military officer simply did not participate in the peace.Mr. Wang was squinting his eyes, and he didn't talk to anyone, but the few ministers who thought they were close to Mr. Wang because of the colonization, no matter how they asked, Mr. Wang always looked like he didn't want to talk to anyone.One of the several adults came forward, "I think this method should be done, but there are still some unclear points that need to be clarified."

Lord Wang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and raised his eyelids to look at the minister who spoke.Then he glanced lightly at the minister who hadn't retracted his jealousy. I don't know if this person has studied it in depth after getting the booklet. If not, I'm afraid it would be embarrassing. The minister who raised doubts is notoriously fond of it. Get to the bottom of it.

"Yes." The emperor agreed.

The doubtful minister immediately asked a number of questions. At first, those who made suggestions were able to answer fluently, but then they retreated steadily, until they were left speechless by the questions.The minister who asked the question concluded, "I think this proposal is what other people think." As soon as his voice fell, the minister who proposed it immediately knelt down, crying and complaining that it was the chopsticks' thought?Absolutely not feasible. If you say that you didn't think of it at this time, it is a proper crime of deceiving the emperor. If you admit it or not, the minister's face is pale.

The conclusion of the minister who asked the question was guessed. If he guessed right, it meant that he had a good eye for people. If he guessed wrong, he would find a way to recover, but he didn't expect that he really guessed it.I don't know where the other party got the suggestion from. This suggestion is good to worry about, but it needs to be asked more thoroughly before it can be implemented.

"Okay." The emperor said lightly, "Who came up with this proposal, I know a little bit, and we will discuss it after the court meeting." The emperor paused, "Are you guilty?"

Wang Xiujin didn't know about the farce in the court. He didn't mention it until Master Li returned to the mansion at night. How do people know about the price of goods, is it the father who let it out on purpose?Or is there a thief in the Wang family?If it was the first one, he could only say that his father's method had loopholes.But if it was the second type, Wang Xiujin couldn't sit still.

I want to go back to Wang's house to have a look, but the time is wrong, so I can only wait until tomorrow.This night, Wang Xiujin couldn't sleep well. When people are worried, they don't always think in a good direction. Their thoughts seem to guide themselves. The more anxious they are, the worse they appear in their minds. , Wang Xiujin's eyes turned black, and after a hasty greeting in the morning, he went to find his father to ask him clearly, but after the court was over, Lord Wang was left in the palace.

Wang Xiujin thought for a while, and went home directly, and went through the servants at home to see if there was anything wrong.Wang Xiujin's method is simple and rough but very effective. Facts have proved that the Wang family is really like an iron bucket. Except for a few people who are the emperor's nails, everyone else is honest and loyal. It was my father who voluntarily leaked it to someone else, but unfortunately that person was two hundred and five, and he didn't study it carefully after taking advantage of it, so he ended up with a court stick.

After figuring out the key point, Wang Xiujin didn't think about it any more. What he cared more about was whether the matter of the price management office could be completed.This yamen has a lot of power, who is in charge, and many details after its establishment, all need to be discussed and discussed again and again. Naturally, there are not a few people who want to take a bite of such a big piece of fat. Wang Xiujin can see , How could a group of treacherous ministers fail to see it.Wang Xiujin calmly waited for the establishment of the price office. He felt that this matter would definitely be accomplished, but the time was still uncertain.

Compared with Wang Xiujin's calmness, those who want to share the food are not calm. Everyone wants to take a bite, and the food doesn't look very good.Mr. Wang took the initiative to say that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is only responsible for supervision and will not intervene. It will check the records of the yamen every month and every year. If there is no record... Mr. Wang did not continue, but everyone touched their necks unconsciously.When they look at the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it's like they see a life-threatening debt collector. Regardless of whether they have made mistakes or not, they will unconsciously feel guilty.

Lord Wang made his statement, those who want to bite the fat, just wait for the emperor to speak, they guessed that the emperor will send someone to arrange a prince or someone who is trusted by the emperor in the established general office, and the rest will be allocated to the ministers Ladies and gentlemen, I don't want the emperor to just open his mouth. The price office should be handed over to the police department that has nothing to do with ministers and businessmen.The ministers have truly experienced what it feels like to have fat in their mouths. They used to regard the imperial merchants as a thorn in their side, but now it is the entourage of the anti-crime factory that has replaced the imperial merchants. No. 1, I can't wait for the police to disappear completely, but unfortunately I can't give up my status as a follower, so I can only grind my teeth secretly.

Master Wang didn't expect it to be like this in the end, and even Wang Xiujin didn't expect that the emperor would hold such a big piece of fat in his hands.But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing incomprehensible. It must be that those ministers were too active to make the emperor dislike the ministers. Originally, the emperor had some small emotions towards civil servants. The incident happened and there were more and more deposits. Once it broke out, I am afraid that the civil servants will usher in another clarification. At present, these civil servants can't figure it out one by one, as if they will perish without them. role, and the reason for this may be that civil servants have been used far more than military generals in the past dynasties.

Wang Xiujin is not interested in how the imperial court divides the fat. He just wants to know when the Yamen was established and what is the standard for unified pricing.Thinking about it carefully, it is far better to let a follower take charge of prices than to have it in the hands of a certain prince or minister.

Before the end of the year, the price yamen will be established, and the yamen and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be close together, and there will be sub-yamen in major cities to be in charge of local price setting.The people in the yamen below are still personal followers. This move naturally caused some officials to gnash their teeth, but this is the only way to go. In recent years, the emperor has held great power, and often made decisions without consulting the ministers. To describe the emperor's character.

The emperor didn't say anything to the records of the historians, and he didn't assign the historians, but it didn't make them feel better. He sent the historians to study books, and the emperor wanted to read the teaching contents of schools in various places, and picked them from various books. Keeping the essence, and giving children the correct concept of being a man and an official, we can no longer cultivate a group of officials who only know how to make money from the court.

The book was also compiled by the top [-] candidates of this year's imperial examination. These people were sent to repair books before they finished their experience. No one complained. Even if they did not come to repair books, they would not send officials immediately. For other things, they are still capable of editing books.

This year's imperial examination, shopkeeper Wang's son still failed. Shopkeeper Wang decided not to let his son take the imperial examination. If he wants to shine in the family, he has to see if it is the material. All these years, his son has not made money by his own ability. Now It's time for my son to go out and find a job.

Apart from shopkeeper Wang's son, two people from Xinlou Academy also took part in the imperial examination. They passed all the way smoothly and went straight to the palace examination. In the end, although they missed the top three, they also occupied the fourth or fifth positions. Wang Xiujin is very satisfied with such results. Some of them take the imperial examination every year, and their grades are not bad. It is impossible to get the number one scholar. Taking the imperial examination is not for the purpose of becoming an official in the court. They just want to shrink in the Xinlou school and be a gentleman.

In the eyes of Xinlou students, participating in the imperial examination is a test board for checking their grades. No matter how good or bad their usual grades are, they must be able to pass the imperial examination.As for whether to decide to become an official or find other things to do, no one gives them any advice, it is all up to them to decide, but the students who took the imperial examination in Xinlou all chose to go back to school and teach the children enlightenment .

The year is coming to an end, years ago some people from Li village came to the general's mansion, they asked the housekeeper to lead them to the tomb to burn paper for their elders.Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan also burned paper for the elders of the family years ago. When Wang Xiujin borrowed the paper for the elders of Li's family, he also burned some for his parents in the previous life, but he didn't know if they could receive it.

At the end of the year, in addition to shopping for new year’s goods, Wang Xiujin also needs to prepare things for his daughter to catch. Her daughter is now one year old, and she can’t speak well, but she remembers all the people. There are no problems with some, but if you speak long sentences, you will not be able to understand.

Wang Xiujin took home everything suitable for his daughter, and made sure that his daughter would be happy to grab it.As for what the daughter caught and what she would do in the future, it was not something she was considering now.When he was a child in his previous life, the teacher asked him what his dream was. At that time, he also said that he wanted to be a scientist?As a result, when he was divided into liberal arts and science classes in high school, he chose literature, so in Wang Xiujin's view, grasping the week does not determine anything, but only places good hopes for the child's future.
