"Zhang Qing is here......" As soon as the Son of Heaven saw Zhang Yue, he reflexively remembered yesterday's ginseng soup, the delicious soup and its excellent effect made him unforgettable.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Zhang Yue, his mood became very happy.

"Give me a seat...... Son of Heaven said with a smile, and then he saw the box that Zhang Yue brought, and asked, "Qing brought a box to see me, what is the matter?" ”

Zhang Yue bowed and said, "Your Majesty...... These were gifts from some ministers and nobles that the minister received this evening, but the minister was disrespectful and had to accept ......"

Zhang Yue opened the box, revealing the jewels inside.

Fire cloth, coral, gold, silver, and, of course, the most eye-catching is the huge piece of wall glass.

The Son of Heaven looked at it, and he almost couldn't take his eyes off it.

Treasures, no one doesn't like them.

Especially valuable treasures!

Even if you are the Son of Heaven, you will be bought by these golden things.

No way, in this world, you can really do whatever you want with money.

Just like those years of Yuanguang, Yuanding, and Yuanzhen.

The treasury is full, and the wealth of society has exploded, so that even the rope of stringing money in the treasury has rotted, and no one cares, so that the grain in the official warehouse is piled up, and often the old grain has not had time to be consumed, and the new grain is piled up in the thousands, so that the state needs to constantly build granaries to meet the needs of storing grain. But construction always couldn't keep up with production, so a large number of large quantities of grain became moldy in the official warehouse.

So, the Han army could fight as much as it wanted.

There is never a need to think about the economy.

He, the emperor, can wave as much as he wants, and he doesn't need to think about the cost at all.

Patrol the world, seal Mount Tai, beat the Huns to fight South Vietnam.

With ample financial support, the Han Empire went from one victory to another.

It's a pity that that glorious era is a thing of the past.

Now, even he, the son of heaven, also needs to be careful in order to maintain this world and maintain the hegemony of the Han family.

And all this requires money.

I listened to Zhang Yue and said: "It's just that the minister thinks to himself, as a courtier, how can he go behind His Majesty's back and accept other people's property privately?" This is not in line with the minister's intentions, so I specially brought it, please send it to your majesty......"

After hearing this, the smile on Tianzi's face was about to bloom.

He looked at the box full of treasures, and his heart was very satisfied.

For the first time in so many years, a minister who, after taking someone else's gift, did not take it privately, but brought it to him.

It's simply ......

O great loyalty!

I don't have a white pet!

Of course, as a king, he is still very reserved, so he said very contrary to his will: "Since it was given to Qing by the ministers, then Qing will accept it...... Lest any one say, 'I can't make a minister rich and ...... by being stingy."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he immediately bowed: "Chen An dares to do this? Thunder and rain and dew, all are the grace of the king, not the gift of the king, the minister is still the food that comes, even if the minister starves to death, he will not use it privately, and His Majesty has given the minister a lot! Confucius said: A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way! Therefore, the minister did not dare to hide it privately, but he was willing to dedicate the king's ......"

When the Son of Heaven heard this, his eyes looked at the huge wall glass, and finally stopped insisting, and said: "Since Aiqing insists on this, then I will accept ......"

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but look at the wall glass.

Zhang Yue took the opportunity to take out the list of gifts that had already been sorted out from his arms, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a list of various treasures, please take a look at ...... Your Majesty."

After the Son of Heaven ordered Guo Sui to take it, he opened it and looked at it, and was immediately dazzled by the dense list of various treasures on the silk book.

I couldn't help but scold in my heart: "Rebel and thief!" Rebels and thieves! There are so many treasures, I don't know how to dedicate them to me to help the country! Hateful! Hateful! ”

But what kind of faces the nobles and wealthy merchants of the Han family are, he already knows what kind of face they are.

These scum are basically misers who would rather die with gold than take out a son!

Thinking that back then, he was kind and kind, and issued an edict hoping that the world's corporals, doctors, wealthy businessmen, and ministers could actively contribute funds to help the country tide over the financial difficulties caused by the war.

But......

In the whole world, there are very few responders.

The wealthy merchants, the noble princes, held their gold and five-baht coins and turned a deaf ear to his call.

This made him so angry that he could hardly bear it.

Toast without eating and eating penalty wine!

So, he appointed Yang Ke to preside over the accusation, and under the pretext of insufficient gold, he deposed the princes and nobles one by one!

let the world see his ruthlessness and imperiousness.

However, these scum did not learn from the lesson of that time at all.

Of course, maybe it did.

However, what they did afterwards only made him even more annoyed!

These people began to spend more resources and wealth on courtiers and court nobles.

A boy is reluctant to invest in him.

He worked hard and deliberated, and the martial arts knight he designed was almost useless, and only one hundred or ten people invested in the knighthood in twenty or thirty years.

It makes his face feel hot.

Therefore, it is conceivable that he looked at those wealthy merchants, landlords, ministers, and princes.

Basically, in his eyes, these scum are just pigs.

Not slaughtered now, just because it is not needed yet.

As long as the country is in difficulty, his first thought is to kill fat pigs for the New Year.

Just like not long ago, he emptied the money merchants in Huai City with lightning speed.

Facts have also proved that this policy is really good.

Using these people, he was able to quickly amass wealth in a short period of time.

Moreover, the black pot and dirty things don't need to be done by themselves, and there is no need to raise taxes for the sake of money as they did back then, which has caused a lot of discussion among the people, and they are about to describe him as a scumbag.

Even, every time he slaughtered a fat pig, he could passively get a lot of cheers and support.

Thinking like this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"What if...... I ......" Immediately, he shook his head and wanted to veto: "No, I have no limit to doing this......"

But soon, the remaining reserve was washed away by the possible benefits.

So, His Majesty raised his head, looked at Zhang Yue with a smile and asked, "These gifts from Qing were all given by those people?" ”

“？？？？” Zhang Yue looked at His Majesty with a confused expression, not quite understanding, what was the reason for him asking like this?

Even Wang Mang on the side frowned.

To be reasonable, Zhang Zizhong has already committed a taboo by playing like this.

But the Son of Heaven still wants to ask the end?

Is this because Zhang Zizhong didn't die fast enough?

But in the next second, Wang Mang was almost unsteady.

I listened to the Son of Heaven and said: "I don't mean anything else, I just think that these gift-givers have good taste, and there may be people among them who can serve the country......"

He asked with a smile: "It's just right, the thief Gongsun He's father and son, the corpse is vegetarian, the state affairs are so bad, the court is in urgent need of talents!" ”

Zhang Yue finally reacted!

This majesty actually had such an idea?

It's to make yourself a white glove for him!!!!

If you think about it, it seems that this majesty does have this need!

After all, the Han family is up and down the court, bribery is commonplace, and even in the court, they also take money to do things, and Tong Su is not bullied.

In Chang'an City, power and money transactions and insider trading are staged all the time.

This is true even for the great figures in history.

For example, Zhang Anshi, such as Huo Guang, such as Jin Riyan.

Even Wang Mang!

This is also the characteristic of the Han family!

After all, there is nothing in the Han family that cannot be sold.

Even officials and human lives can be exchanged for money, just morality, principles, and conduct, how much is it worth?

I think that at the beginning, Zhang Tang, the great loyal minister and the imperial historian, privately and quietly leaked the national policy to his small businessman Tian Jia in advance, so that the Tian family could always be one step ahead of others and make a lot of money by relying on inside information.

And until now, the entire Han officialdom is filled with a terrible smell of money.

Corruption can be said to be everywhere.

Not to mention the side, even such a thing as a day off can be settled with money.

Just like those Lang officials in Guangluxun.

Rich officials, such as those second-generation officials, noble second-generation, and rich second-generation, just hang a name in the yamen, and don't even go every day, and spend all day in Chang'an City, lingering in Flower Street and Willow Lane.

Don't be too chic in your little life!

And these people are the most successful every year!

Why?

Because, out of the 365 days a year, at least 360 days are on 'sick leave'.

The remaining five days of work are, of course, extremely high-loaded.

And people from poor families are 365 days in a row, around the clock, day and night need to work, not to mention any rest, even sick are not allowed to ask for leave!

What's even more terrifying is that when it is the turn of promotion and promotion, the priority is always those who are rich and powerful.

Scholars from humble families, in Guangluxun, often need to be honed for more than five years before they have a chance to get ahead.

The other Jiuqing have divisions, and they all have similar phenomena.

Corruption spreads from the top down and throughout the country.

Bureaucracy, day by day.

People of insight are powerless to want to change.

Therefore, it seems understandable that this majesty wants to develop a white glove, participate in it, and share a profit.

After all, you can't imagine a feudal emperor as a servant of the people.

In fact, all emperors have never regarded themselves as public servants.

In their consciousness, he is the master of the country.

Everything in the country, including the people and the land, is his.

Feudal emperors, above almost everything!

Especially today, he has always been known for being willful and domineering.

Zhang Yue immediately activated his brain and thought about this matter, how he should operate it, in order to maximize the benefits.

First of all, it is certainly not something that can be refused.

Rejecting this majesty is tantamount to a slap in the face.

And after Zhang Yue counted with his fingers, he found that there seemed to be almost no guy who could still be alive after slapping the face of this son of heaven.

Even the most famous Ming monarch in the history of the Han family, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, who was known for his cheerfulness and open-mindedness, was actually not spacious there!

At the beginning, Feng Tang told His Majesty: Even if there is Li Mu in this world, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to use it, so why not? Your Majesty's reward is too light and the punishment is too heavy.

Emperor Taizong was naturally humbly taught on the surface, but when he turned around, he pressed Feng Tang to the southeast for decades......

So, Tai Shi Gong lamented: Feng Tang is easy to get old!

A creature like a king, no matter how generous he is and how generous his mind is, he is actually still a little chicken belly guy in private.

I love to hold grudges, and I can hold grudges!

Even the later Tang Taizong Li Shimin is the same!

As for the one in front of him, throughout history, his mind has been one of the bottom few existences.

Therefore, you must not refuse, and even be very willing and serious to help him do this and play his role well.

Of course, as a traverser, Zhang Yue is naturally unwilling to be just a white glove.

Since the reality can no longer be changed, Zhang Yue can only think about how to use this opportunity to turn bad things into good things!

Corruption, of course, is hateful.

It is also a physical lesion of the country.

However, in the absence of information technology and network technology, and all-round means of investigation and control, any act of clean government is actually only self-comforting, and can only rely on regular crackdowns and clean-up and officials' self-conduct.

In fact, if you really want to be blue, the Manchus and John Bull during the Opium War are actually not comparable.

The corruption of the Niu Niu family may be a little worse than my Daqing.

But why was my Qing Dynasty beaten by thousands of lobster soldiers and lost their armor and humiliated the country?

The answer is - strong ships and guns!

It is even more comprehensively crushed in terms of system and productivity!

During the Opium War, our Qing Dynasty not only lagged behind in terms of equipment, but also in terms of the quality of its soldiers and its tactics and strategies.

Therefore, defeat is not accidental, but inevitable.

Since, reality and cannot be changed, it requires a change in thinking and thinking.

Therefore, Zhang Yue immediately thought of the benefits of this matter.

If he becomes the white glove of the emperor, it is almost equivalent to becoming the projection and spokesman of the emperor's will.

In this way, they have the means to influence national policies and social economy according to their own will.

Perhaps, this matter can also become the source of power to accelerate the upgrading of the Han industry!

Because Zhang Yue can completely screen and select the people and forces he wants to protect through this role.

Just like a ranch owner, he can choose which cattle can be bred and which cattle can only be slaughtered, so that he can finally get the breed of cattle he wants.

Thinking like this, Zhang Yue immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can be excellent with Zhao Changle, and maybe he can share his worries for His Majesty......"

He further added: "The wall glass is a gift from the peach ......"

"Oh......" When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was immediately moved.

He turned his head to Guo Sui on the side and ordered: "Guo Yu, tomorrow morning, you will go to invite Sui Taohou into the palace, and I will personally inspect his talents......

After thinking about it, he asked again: "What is the official position of Sui Taohou now?" ”

Zhang Yue replied: "Your Majesty, it seems that he is the commander of the subject country......

"Oh......" The Son of Heaven listened and said with a smile: "I see, Zhao Aiqing can be the court lieutenant......"

Ting Weiqing has been vacant for nearly a year, not that there is no candidate, but that His Majesty does not want a Ting Lieutenant who is too capable.

Because if the court lieutenant is very capable, then he must be very assertive, and if he is too assertive, it will hinder his mattress wool.

Therefore, he has always wanted to choose a court lieutenant with average ability, but who can do things and be obedient.

Zhang Yue listened, and hurriedly said, "Shengming has no fault with Your Majesty!" ”
