Xu Maogong and Chen Ping left.

It's just that after they left, Tang Yu's expression suddenly turned cold.

Again, officials are absolutely not allowed to do business.

But now the question is how to keep officials out of business, and at the same time allow officials to have money to meet their daily needs, so that they do not become corrupt because of lack of money.

In fact, corruption is not easy to do.

Some people have inner integrity, even if they are poor, they are honest and noble.

Some people can't resist the temptation of money.

However, if the officials have money, they can naturally have a stronger resistance, so that they will not be unable to withstand the slightest temptation.

Li Yu walked back and forth in the imperial study, and after a long time, he finally made up his mind.

And while Li Yu was thinking like this in the imperial study, after those officials retreated from the court, they did not rush to disperse, but gathered in twos and threes.

"Wei Zheng impeached us, what if the Holy Lord didn't let us do business?"

"Don't worry, the Holy One shouldn't stop us from doing business, what's the matter?"

"It's like, other people can do business, why can't we do business?"

"It's all money, don't do it in vain, why not do a business that can make money."

“…………”

"Don't worry, there are so many people, Wei Zheng's words will not be listened to......"

Everyone seemed to be very confident, firstly, they did not think that this matter was serious, and secondly, they were so loud that they felt that Li Yu would not take risks.

Things just went on and didn't get too many people to think about it.

The next day, the morning dynasty.

Wei Zheng stepped forward again.

"Holy Lord, so many people doing business is extremely detrimental to the development of our Tang Kingdom, and Holy Lord must stop it."

After Wei Zheng finished saying this, Li Yu said: "Wei Aiqing is reasonable, why do you officials become officials, do you want to make money?" ”

When these words came out, everyone suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

Why do officials become officials, this Confucianism has made it very clear, the Qi family governs the country and the world, they want to do things for the people and the country, not for their own selfish interests.

Therefore, people who are officials regard this as a criterion, and whoever dares to say that being an official is to make a fortune, then it is strange that he can continue to be an official.

No one spoke, and the whole hall seemed a little quiet.

Li Yu continued: "If anyone says that it is to make a fortune, I will show you a clear way, you should resign and go back to business, and don't occupy this official position, my official of the Tang State is to do things for the people and the country." ”

At this time, above the main hall, everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to speak.

"I'm here today, within three days, all officials' shops must be closed, and they are not allowed to continue to operate, and after three days, if anyone's shop is still open, then don't blame me for being polite, you can't be an official, and I will confiscate my property for you."

Li Yu said this very sharply, with undoubted majesty.

Chen Ping and Xu Maogong stood on the main hall, but their faces were bitter.

This situation is completely different from what they said in the imperial study yesterday.

Didn't you say that you weren't going to make people look bad, but what Li Yu said, no matter who it was, they didn't think the situation was good, right?

Of course, this is not what worries them the most, what they are most worried about is that Li Yu did this, which harmed the interests of officials, and in the future, I am afraid that there will be some bad situations, right?

Officials can't do business to earn money to support their families, so they can only use the power in their hands.

With power, it's not easy to get money?

Corruption has always been like this.

In addition to this, the two of them suddenly felt a cold gaze cast at them.

The others in the court suddenly cast very unfriendly glances at the two of them.

Obviously, Li Yu only called the two of them to the imperial study yesterday, so I'm afraid that the two of them participated in this decision, right?

It is no wonder that these two people are against them, and these officials are not angry.

And those as smart as Xu Maogong and Chen Ping naturally quickly realized that the situation was not good.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ping stood up: "Holy Lord, this ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

Although he felt that Li Yu was very bold and what he did was the best thing for Datang, Chen Ping didn't dare to ask for it because of so many people's hostility, so he still had to stand up and express his opposition, so that others would not think that Li Yu's decision had anything to do with them.

Sure enough, after Chen Ping stood up like this, the others were suddenly a little surprised, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Ping?

Everyone turned their attention to Xu Maogong, since Chen Ping felt that it was inappropriate, then it must be Xu Maogong who felt that it was appropriate.

Xu Maogong wanted to cry without tears.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Maogong also stood up and said, "Holy Lord, the minister also feels that this is inappropriate. ”

The two of them didn't want to be scapegoats.

At this time, the ministers were dumbfounded, both of them didn't think it was much, then this idea must be Li Yu's alone, the idea of the Son of Heaven, things are difficult.

Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to say much, but they were so aggrieved that they didn't know what to do. Li Yu here, said: "What do you two mean, I understand, but I still said just now, in three days, if the store is not closed, I will belittle you, so that you will not be able to be an official for the rest of your life, so that your descendants will not be able to be officials, if you want to do business, then go directly to business." ”

It's still cold, don't give people a little respite.

"Holy Lord, but our officials' salaries are too low, and they don't let us do business, how can we support our families?"

"Yes, Holy Lord, we don't want to be so greedy for money, we just want our families to live a good life, when we do things for the people, let our families live a little better, right?"

"Holy Lord, we ourselves are not doing well, but we go to help others live a good life, so what does it mean for us to be officials, is it just that little residual sense of responsibility?"

After one person stood up and said a word, everyone else also stood up and said it, and one said it more pitifully than the other.

Yes, if they are not allowed to do business, their days may not be over.

These people are not very selfless, but they still have a little bit in their hearts, but the premise of this selflessness is that their lives are okay.

In this world, there are no people who really don't have a little selfishness, and even if there are, such people can't eat in observation. Everyone said this, Li Yu waved his hand: "Okay, I know your situation, I don't let you do business, so I will naturally find a way back for you, I will increase your income, and the higher the political performance, the more you will give, and those industries in the imperial court, as long as you contribute money and shares, you can share dividends." ”
