The emperor would be suspicious of Daokui, and naturally there was a good reason. Because with Daokui's knowledge and experience, it is really not strange to write such a strategy.

As for the red lotus sent by Jia Jiu, the emperor also investigated it carefully. There is no such thing in the Jia family's industry. If that thing was cultivated by the Jia family, unless they were in their own back garden, or simply cultivated it in a flower pot.

To make the emperor believe that the crop was cultivated in the back garden, the emperor would rather believe that the thing was found by the Daomen and sent to him through Jia Jiu.

In other words, the emperor always believed that whether it was the strategy or the miraculous crop, it was the credit of the Daomen. The reason why he borrowed Jia Jiu's path may be because someone in the Dao Sect didn't want to expose himself. And this person is very likely to be Dao Kui himself. Because Jia Jiu has not been in contact with the Daomen for a lot of time, and the people in the Daomen he knows are even less pitiful.

The emperor firmly believed that Jia Jiu was just a shield for Daokui.

The emperor stared at Dao Kui with burning eyes, and Dao Kui could only sigh in his heart. Cultivators pay attention to following the way of nature, unless it is related to the common people in the world, otherwise the Taoist will not interfere in worldly affairs at all. This is also the common view of people in the Daomen.

Jia Jiu's codex, if it weren't for the interests of the Daomen, if it weren't for Jia Jiu firmly tying the world's common people and the Daomen with Daqi, Daokui wouldn't have done it. It's just such a thing, Dao Kui also knows that if he says it, no one will believe it.

Looking at the emperor who was sitting opposite him, Dao Kui sighed. Said: "Your Majesty, when Poor Dao met with Hunting Xinxi and even compiled it into a book in person, it was also because the person who pioneered it had compassion for the world. No matter who or what status. In that person's heart, he will not be stammered because the other party is noble, will not be flattered because the other party is generous, and will not be despised because the other party is from a humble background. In his eyes, whether it is a prince or a commoner, as long as it is a Daqi person. It should be blessed by the state, and when considering the interests of the state and the imperial court, the interests of everyone should not be underestimated. He will not despise the other party because he is a craftsman, thinking that the other party is born inferior. Nor will they contemptuously call out the smell of copper just because the other party is a businessman. In that person's mind, whether it is a craftsman or a businessman, it is just a profession. As long as the other party is a Daqi person, as long as the other party guards the law of Daqi. That person will put themselves in the other person's shoes and try to think about the other person when they are planning. ”

Thinking of Jia Jiu. Dao Kui couldn't help but express his feelings. Except for the age of the other party, whether it is the way of thinking or the attitude towards the world, it is very different from the average girl.

The emperor didn't expect the other party to answer him like this. In the emperor's heart, people have always been unequal. It is impossible for him, the king of all vehicles, to treat others as equals, even if that person is his brother. The Emperor could not imagine himself being on an equal footing with others. As a king, even if he is a brother, he is just a subordinate, and if he pays attention to equality, it is simply impossible.

Look at the emperor's face. Dao Kui knew that the other party wanted to fork: "Your Majesty." The man said that the world has never been fair. Some people are born with fine clothes and fine food. Some people have never eaten enough when they hit the ground. That person said that this kind of seeming unfairness is where the fairness of heaven lies. Born with fine clothes and fine food, it is because of the efforts of the ancestors to bless their children and grandchildren, which does not mean that this phenomenon is unfair. ”

Obviously, both of them remembered the words of the Wang family girl back then, and counted the words of their mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

The emperor said, "As soon as Dao Kui said it, I wanted to see that gentleman even more. ”

Dao Kui shook his head and said, "Although it is said that with the help of His Majesty, that plan will be promoted more quickly, but he also said that if he is not careful, he may also fall into a deadlock because of the corruption of the officials and let the people of the world bear the consequences on their behalf." Therefore, seeing or not seeing the majesty is not much different for this plan. ”

"This ......"

Dao Kui said calmly: "He once said that a good planner must have taken into account all the reactions of people and the changes in the world before the beginning of the first qiē, and be aware of the next changes. That codex, since it has been dedicated to His Majesty, then, the next thing is bound to go to the charter. Before that person left the Jingshi, he had told Sù Poor Dao that to exercise that plan, he only needed to follow the steps step by step. It can't be too utilitarian, and it's impossible to rush it. That would be a mistake. ”

The emperor immediately grasped the key: "That gentleman is not in Jingshi?!" ”

Dao Kui said: "It's not there. He had been away from Jingshi for some time. ”

The emperor said: "Sir is so stingy to see me? ”

Dao Kui was silent.

What else could he say? If you tell the other party the truth, the other party will definitely not believe it. If he wants to take this title, don't say that he is a leader, even if he changes Lin Ruhai, a scholar who has been in the officialdom for many years, he will not do it. Because this was the minimum moral standard at the time. Even when many high-ranking officials recommend to the emperor, if the emperor says that it is not easy to settle, those high-ranking officials will not hesitate to express their willingness to abdicate and give up their position to the person who is recommended.

This was the social ethos of the time.

This is also the reason why Jia Zheng sits on the cold bench. He was so humiliated that he didn't even meet the minimum moral standards.

Dao Kui is not a person in the officialdom, and he has no need to recommend meritocracy to the emperor.

The emperor kept wondering in his heart: judging from Daokui's words, it seemed that he was really just writing on his behalf, and the originator of the codex was really someone else. But who is this person? Why did he offer the Codex but never dedicate himself? It seems that Dao Kui has kept it a secret on his behalf. Who is this person sacred?

The emperor sat there thinking for a long time before he said to Dao Kui, "In that case, that gentleman must have told Dao Kui a lot about the codex. I wonder if Dao Kui can solve my doubts? ”

Dao Kui paused for a moment, and then said: "That plan is not complete, from the perspective of time, he is at least a big plan that has crossed over a Jiazi." Therefore, even if it is poor, all he knows is the first fifteen-year plan. ”

Dao Kui thought about it, but decided to tell Emperor Sù part of the content: "The first part of this strategy is actually the preparation stage. In order to implement the content of the strategy, not only manpower is needed, but also material resources and money, all of which are indispensable. So the first two years of the program were in the preparatory stage. With the help of certain things, gather manpower and material resources. On this point, in fact, Majesty Xià should have heard of it. ”

Dao Kui would say this, and it was indeed a last resort. The affairs of Jinshuihe can never be hidden. Not to mention anything else, Buddhism and Confucianism are also staring at Taoism. If you don't make a good draft with the emperor now, if someone stabs in front of the emperor in the future, it will not be a good thing after all.

Money often unmakes the men who make it. With such a big fortune, there is always someone who will be tempted.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, tilted his head sideways and thought about it, but still said, "I don't really understand. ”

Dao Kui said: "This is the case with the Daomen sending people to clean up the several Jinshui rivers in Jingshi. ”

The Emperor immediately interrupted Dao Kui's words: "But those rivers are dirty, smelly, and black, and not only need manpower and money, but also medicine to prevent diseases, and if you are not careful, a plague may break out. How is this possible to collect money and food? ”

Dao Kui said: "Poor Dao will say this, naturally it is true. If it is long lived, of course, the poor road will not be stingy. Is it just hooray sure? The money collected in the end will go to Banzai, not to the corrupt officials; The people sent by Banzai will also complete the task well, instead of filling their own pockets, taking away the money that should belong to Banzai, not to mention, and deducting the people's medicinal materials and money and food, so as to lead to the outbreak of the plague, and make this series of plans stillborn. ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then remembered Wang Ziteng, and then remembered the emperor who had been holding on to power.

There are really very few people in his hands, and there are even fewer people who can do things and can do things. And doing this kind of thing, it will definitely involve a lot. If it is really handed over to the people below to do it, I am afraid that in the end it will cost ten times more money and food, not to mention, but this benefit will not be seen at all, and it will even be bad.

The emperor is also short of money. But thinking of that series of consequences, the emperor also dispelled that thought.

"Is it because of this that Mr. refuses to see me?"

The emperor kept his head down, and anyone could clearly see his loss from his face.

Dao Kui was silent for a while, and said, "This is what Poor Dao knows. He always thinks in terms of the people who benefit the most. It's like cleaning up the Jinshui River. If too many people are accidentally let know about this matter, not only may those people lose a piece of income in the winter and lead the family to go hungry for the New Year, but it will even bring unnecessary trouble to the country and the imperial court. The people are the second to the second to the second, and in front of that person, it is never an empty word, but a real action. ”

The emperor lowered his head and thought for a while before he said, "So, I understand. This matter, even when his father was in power, that gentleman would not hand over this matter to the imperial court to do. Because even the father of the emperor back then, it was impossible to put an end to corruption and corruption in officialdom. Leave it to your Daomen, this is the safest and most beneficial way for the most people to get benefits. And then what? That gentleman certainly wasn't going to just design this one piece of content. ”

After getting the answer he wanted from the emperor's face, Dao Kui was also a lot more relieved, and then discussed the codex with the emperor. (To be continued......)
