Liu Shiren beckoned to the palace people on the side, and the palace people naturally walked down the steps with great eyes, picked up the paper on the table, quickly returned to the high platform, and handed it to Liu Shiren.

Reaching out to take the piece of paper, Liu Shiren looked at it while twisting his beard, first nodded, then shook his head, raised his eyelids and looked at Mu Qing who was standing safely under the stage, his brows furrowed slightly. Mu Qing looked calm, standing there as if he didn't know it, looking very calm.

During this time, several Gongsheng also stepped forward to write their thoughts, and when they went back, they were all worried, and occasionally those who passed by Mu Qing would look at him, and then they walked to their positions.

Liu Shiren put the piece of paper aside, and asked someone to bring over a few other Gongsheng strips. This time, Liu Shiren didn't even move, picked it up and put it down one by one with a blank expression, and finally, put it in the corner of the table together and glanced at Huang Hui.

Huang Hui comprehended, walked over without any sound, took a stack of papers, and presented it to Li Muyan with both hands.

At present, most of the tribute students are still at a loss, and they don't seem to have a clue. Li Muyan didn't say much, as if he was afraid of disturbing them, so he gently pinched one and picked it up. From the beginning to the end, he put it aside and picked up another one.

One after another, Li Muyan looked at it for a long time, because he paused, pondered, and speculated on the possibilities of many people's suggestions, but in the end he shook his head lightly and put it aside. Until he finished reading it, most of the tribute students had also written their opinions.

But the advice of those who were behind was destined not to be seen by the emperor.

=====================================================================================

Until the end, when Mu Qing's suggestion was held by the emperor, Li Muyan's expression finally changed. However, this change is obviously not a good thing, and the fold between the eyebrows seems to touch everyone's mind. Those who were far away didn't feel it, but those who were close were all frightened, for fear that Li Muyan was holding their own in their hands.

However, Mu Qing clearly saw that it was his own suggestion, because judging from the shadow from behind, the suggestion was extremely short, and he was the only one who wrote such a short one and handed it over.

In the end, Li Muyan did not bring up Mu Qing's one, but put it on the other side that was different from all living beings, and then took out one from that pile and handed it to Huang Hui.

Huang Hui bowed down to take it, then looked at his name and surname, and said loudly: "Ke Jie." ”

A man in a blue shirt standing in the third row stepped out of the queue, he took a step to the right to make sure that everyone on the stage could see him clearly, and then he bowed and saluted, and his voice was clear: "Student Ke Jie, I have seen the emperor and all the adults." ”

Mu Qing blinked when he heard this surname, "Ke" is not a very popular surname, thinking of what Liu Cheng said, I am afraid that this Ke Jie is a relative of the same clan of the imperial history Ke Jingyuan. Tilted his head back slightly, because Ke Jie was lowering his head at the moment, Mu Qing couldn't see his face, but he was also a thin and tall person, but unlike Ke Jingyuan, who was a little aggressive, this Ke Gongsheng looked calm and introverted, neither humble nor arrogant, and it was easy to make people feel good.

Li Muyan looked at Ke Jie, and then said, "Ke Jie, I see what you said, you want to transport grain from the east to the west for disaster relief, right?" ”

Ke Jie saluted again, and then said: "Back to the emperor, the student is the intention." ”

"But after all, it's far from water, and it can't quench your thirst."

"The students are not blindly trying to transport grain for disaster relief, but to mobilize the wealthy merchants on the road to help them on the way to the disaster relief."

As he spoke, he raised his head, and Mu Qing also saw the face clearly.

The eyebrows are clear, not handsome, but they are also very upright, and they look very pleasing to the eye.

But I heard Ke Jie: "My Great Zhou Dynasty is now rich and the people are rich, and the treasury is full, but after all, it is far away to quench the thirst." If the state can take the lead in donating money, and then let the gentry along the way feel the benevolence of the emperor and donate money and materials spontaneously, it is naturally much better than transferring thousands of miles from the capital. ”

Li Muyan nodded, it sounds good, but in fact, most of the previous disaster relief efforts were implemented in this way. But...... Li Muyan raised his head: "Can all living beings have objections?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is something unknown about the student." Yuan Wenchang, who was standing beside Mu Qing, took a step to the right, and after seeing Li Muyan nodding, his back straightened and his voice was clear, "What Brother Ke said is naturally a method, but not every squire is willing to take out the belongings in his pocket. Since ancient times, most of the merchants did not know the words of the sages, and were not proficient in the way of Confucianism. ”

Ke Jie seemed to have expected such a question, his expression was light, and he replied: "This is not difficult, as long as the punishment is appropriate, it can naturally be solved." ”

Li Muyan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Ke Sheng said. ”

Ke Jie said: "Most of the businessman's way of dealing with the world is a good word. If you want them to contribute, you must let them see that it is profitable. ”

"Presumptuous, do you let those businessmen make it difficult for the country to make money!" An official took the case, looked a little old, and the anger between his eyebrows was unbearable.

Ke Jie shook his head: "No, a qiē is just a transaction." As he spoke, Ke Jie stretched out two hands, ten slender and slender fingers, "We can promise those merchants that whoever donates rice thousand buckets can have their taxes halved for a year, ten thousand buckets, halved and halved, and so on." Ke Jie said while recovering his fingers, "In this way, first, we can ensure that we will not empty our crying at once, second, we can stimulate the enthusiasm of the businessmen, and third, we can also make everyone feel grateful for your kindness." ”

As soon as the words fell, a lot of discussion was heard.

Mu Qing looked at Ke Jie, and couldn't help but applaud in his heart. This method is not something ordinary people can think of, after all, what is now admired is the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the merchants are the last class, and not many people will care. The status of the richest businessman will not be higher than that of a poor showman, and it is very difficult to even enter the business.

If you want to come up with this method, you must put yourself in the position of a businessman and think about it. It's really surprising to think differently in this day and age.

This kind of substitution of donating grain for taxes sounds like the state taking advantage, but if you think about it from another angle, those merchants will probably feel that they have picked up a big leak.

Mu Qing used to help the Mu family read the account books, and also managed the "Wenqing Daily", so he naturally knew some of the doorways. Those who can store tens of millions of buckets of grain at home are definitely not small households, those are all big businessmen or big families, they will not be stingy because of these grains, or in their eyes, these are just numbers on the books, as long as they want to, they will have it.

But the taxes are different, now the Great Zhou Dynasty has not been war-torn for a long time, the country is rich and the people are safe, and the taxes are also very reasonable, but even so, they are also extremely harsh on those merchants who make a living.

Ordinary people are 15 taxes and 1, while businessmen are 10 taxes and 1, if the flow reaches a certain limit, it is 8 taxes and 1. To hand over one-eighth of the income to the national treasury is not a small amount, and everyone will feel distressed.

Being able to turn eight taxes into sixteen taxes and one, or even lower, is a good thing that can't be dreamed of, Mu Qing thought, going out will definitely be a hundred responses.

He looked up at Li Muyan, but saw that the man just pursed his lips slightly and thought to himself, and did not say whether it was good or bad.

Ke Jie returned to his position after finishing speaking, without saying even a word, and lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.

Li Muyan exhaled softly, and I have to say that he was a little shaken in his heart, and this method sounded very tempting. It can not only solve the temporary difficulties, but also do not have to shake the foundation of the country, which seems to kill two birds with one stone. But this will damage the taxes of the next year, Li Muyan is not the kind of emperor who shakes his hands, on the contrary, he managed the household department when he was still the prince, and he naturally knows how much taxes he has, so he still has to think about it in his heart.

Thinking like this, he picked up Mu Qing's piece of paper, and didn't need Huang Hui to greet him, but said to himself: "Mu Qing, I want to hear what you think." ”

Mu Qing didn't move, because he was standing in the middle position, directly opposite Li Muyan. Bowing down and saluting, Mu Qing raised his head, looked directly at Li Muyan, and then said, "Your Majesty, the student does not agree with Ke Jie's words. ”

One sentence made several people change their faces.

Liu Shiren frowned, and secretly said in his heart that Mu Qing didn't know how thick the sky was. Even if you really don't agree, you can't say it so directly, at least whitewash it, after all, you have to be an official in the future, they are comrades, and they will not look up and look down in the officialdom in the future, and they must help each other, but it is good not to make enemies in the future.

Mu Qing didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with what he said, but continued: "The student thinks that what Ke Jie said is shaking the foundation of the country and is of no benefit!" "It's loud, and it's a matter of course.

Yuan Wenchang also looked at Mu Qing beside him with wide eyes at this moment, as if he was looking at a madman. If he hadn't known that Mu Qing had nothing to do with Ke Jie before, I'm afraid Yuan Wenchang would have felt that Mu Qing and Ke Jie had a grudge.

Ke Jie didn't react, but looked at Mu Qing with a clear gaze and a faint expression.

Li Muyan didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he was the emperor, so he didn't have to be polite to anyone, this kind of thinking naturally extended to Mu Qing, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but he still made a round: "What Ke Sheng said is also to solve the dilemma, I am very relieved." As for you, Mu Qing, don't comment on others. ”

Mu Qing confessed, and then said: "Your Majesty, the students feel that the disaster relief can not do what indicators do not cure the root cause, blindly give materials, and regardless of whether it can be reasonably distributed, just blindly input and consumption is a loss, so the students do not approve." ”

Li Muyan nodded, in fact, he was worried.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is clear, it does not mean that no one is corrupt. Ten years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, is not a joke. It has become a habit for officials to eat and take cards, and the most honest officials cannot guarantee that there is no such thing as greed, and there seems to be no other way than supervision, and there is no way to eradicate it once and for all, no matter how many times it is purged.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives.

It is enough to grasp which appropriate degree, Li Muyan can only try to restrain it. And this version of the disaster relief is a time when widespread corruption is on the rise. Li Muyan is not like the silver that flows into the pockets of officials instead of the pockets of the people, and the grain is only afraid that it will fatten the officials and starve to death the victims.

Mu Qing knew these words, but he couldn't say them. Li Muyan also understood, but he couldn't say it.

Ke Jie blinked, and there was a hint of abruptness. His brother Ke Jingyuan is the imperial history, and he also knows something about Ke Jie, but he has figured out the doorway in an instant. The curiosity in his eyes was even better, he looked at Mu Qing, and his eyes didn't blink.

Li Muyan looked at Mu Qing and said, "Mu Qing's words are reasonable, I don't know what method you think?" ”

Mu Qing's expression was indifferent, and he said, "Work for relief." ”

The author has something to say: Ke Jingyuan, the official who went to the Liulang Poetry Club, was tall and thin, and was under Song Qianyi

The child of Ke Jingyuan's clan who Liu Cheng once talked about participating in the palace examination was Ke Jie
