I see!

Yuan Xi completely understood, but after understanding, he only felt creepy.

He asked himself that after so many years, he crossed the bridge more than people walked, ate more salt than people ate, and had never seen anything, but now he thinks that he is really just a small shrimp in front of politicians like Han Yi and Li Zhi.

This is the real turning of hands into clouds and hands into rain.

Who would have thought that this restriction of slaves and maids was just to ignite the fuse of sending troops to Goguryeo, and it had nothing to do with the slaves and maids themselves, and the real purpose was to induce rich merchants and big landowners in Shandong to take out the grain and grass, because there is nothing more cost-effective than taking local materials, and Han Yi was telling the truth this time, he only planned to let the treasury pay less than thirty percent of the grain and grass, it is conceivable how many people will have to be included in it.

Under the emperor's benevolent government, there is such a big conspiracy hidden, and it is full of some shady deeds.

After understanding the cause of the matter, Yuan Xi asked very realistically: "Then what can our Yuan family get?" ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "I won't say much about this person and resources, although Goguryeo and Baekje are only the size of a projectile, but there is also a piece of land there, in exchange for the grain and grass for this army, it is more than enough, so you don't have to worry about not having a reciprocal return, I will customize a reasonable quotation for you when the time comes, and this is only secondary, when the time comes, the imperial court will hand over the management of that place to you merchants." ”

Yuan Xi was surprised: "Is this true? ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "As long as you want." ”

Yuan Xi heard it very weakly, and said, "How can you say this?" ”

Han Yi said: "Uncle, think about it, our Central Plains region has always been shouting to convince people with virtue, and Your Majesty is also benevolent and righteous, so this kind of transaction is naturally not suitable for the imperial court to do, so when the time comes, these dirty things will have to be done by you, slave and maid trades, I will instruct the military to complete the transaction with you privately, and for example, digging coal, cutting trees, and building roads, this is just a transaction, and the court will not dominate these things, so you must hand over the management to you, But the court will send troops to protect your rights and interests there. ”

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "You guys are too fine." "He felt like he was being put to good use by these politicians.

Han Yi smiled and said: "To say that it sounds good, it is to perform its own duties, and what is not good is to use each other, you are just making money, this coal has to be dug up, either I will dig it, or you will dig it, this is normal." But if there will be only one who will accuse His Majesty of tyranny, and not of the tyranny of merchants, then Your Majesty's reputation will not be harmed, and you will reap great benefits from it, and you will all have your own place. ”

Having said that, it is impossible for Yuan Xi not to do it, and even if he doesn't do it, Han Yi can find other businessmen, because there is indeed a lot of profit in it, especially resources and capabilities, which are currently difficult to obtain in the Central Plains, it is too tempting, and said: "I will tell Yuan Zhe and them to do this, there is no need to explain it to them, I think the less people know about this kind of thing, the better." ”

Han Yi smiled.

Yuan Xi said: "Don't worry, Peony won't ask more." ”

Sure enough, after Han Yi went out, Yuan Peony didn't ask a word, Han Yi hinted at her, if you want to ask, I'll tell you, I trust you completely, but Yuan Peony directly said that she didn't need to tell her. Although Yuan Peony has married Han Yi, she was born in the Yuan family after all, and the rules of the Yuan family have been integrated into her bone marrow, and her own philosophy of doing things is to abide by the rules, so that there will be no chaos, so since Yuan Xi asked them to leave before, then she will never ask more, although she also wants to know.

Of course, whether she asks or not, she can't change anything, and the emperor is also involved, so she may not be able to change the emperor's mind.

......

......

The Six Houses of the Sage.

"How can this work, Di Renjie is a talent that our Sage Sixth Academy focuses on cultivating, how can you transfer him to the Civil Security Bureau."

When Li Chunfeng heard the news, he was very excited, which showed that he liked Di Renjie very much.

Han Yi shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Li Taishi, what you said is too subjective and biased. ”

Li Chunfeng wondered: "Where is my words biased? ”

Han Yi said angrily: "What kind of talent is Di Renjie in our Sage Sixth Academy, what major contributions has he made, the only thing he has done well, that is the official prostitute, it has nothing to do with our Sage Sixth Academy, who is the real talent of our Sage Sixth Academy, of course, it is our President Yun, whoever dares to poach President Yun, I will fight with whomever I want, this is not a lie." ”

Li Chunfeng was stunned, you usually look up to Di Renjie, this face is faster than turning a book, and said: "But Di Renjie has made some achievements in academics. ”

Han Yi said: "There are too many people like this kind of achievement, there are too many academicians of Jiupin, and Di Renjie is quite ordinary. In addition, the Civil Security Bureau has left the eldest grandson and young eunuch, and there is an urgent shortage of talents. ”

Li Chunfeng said: "There are more such talents in the court. ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "There are a lot of people in the court, but none of them are my people." ”

Li Chunfeng looked at Han Yi with a little surprise.

Han Yi said with a smile: "This is the truth, there are a total of five people in the Civil Security Bureau, and now those three have colluded and bullied me everywhere, so this person must be my person, otherwise, I will have no status over there, of course I will not agree, I just thought of Di Renjie." ”

Li Chunfeng only felt that Han Yite was also open-minded, and he could only say silently in his heart---You are ruthless enough."

At this moment, someone from below reported, "Dean Qiyu, Academician Di is here." ”

"Let him in."

"Yes."

After a while, Di Renjie walked in and respectfully saluted the two of them.

Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "Di Renjie, I remember that you mentioned the law many times in your article on taking the Jinshi examination, which shows that you are quite familiar with the law!" ”

Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, didn't know why, and replied: "Xia Guan has a little involvement in the law. ”

Han Yi sighed and said, "Do you know which trait I hate the most about you scholars?" ”

Di Renjie shook his head blankly.

Han Yi said: "Be modest. You readers, you should be modest and not modest, quote scriptures at every turn, bully people who have not read any books, should not be modest and be modest, when you say this, I have no bottom in my heart! ”

Di Renjie was even more dazed.

"Alright, alright."

Han Yi waved his hand and said, "You memorize the law of fighting lawsuits in the Tang Law to me, and explain it to me one by one." ”

Di Renjie said: "Dare to ask why Han Shangshu wants to recite the law of fighting lawsuits?" ”

Han Yi said: "Because I am not only the head of the household, but also the dean. ”

"The subordinate obeys."

Di Renjie looked embarrassed, his delicate face was flushed, he wiped his sweat, and then he recited it, and explained to Han Yi one by one.

Han Yi took a few more examples and tested him.

Di Renjie answered like a fluent, and even Li Chunfeng nodded frequently when he heard it, and he was even more reluctant in his heart.

"That's you!"

Han Yi clapped his head, stood up and said, "Congratulations, you have been promoted." ”

Di Renjie was stunned when he heard it, when did it become so easy to be promoted, I just said it casually, and the result was promoted, I want to recite the entire Tang Law, wouldn't I have to be the prime minister, this is really too fake. He said, "Han Shangshu, don't tease the lower officials." ”

"Teasing?" Han Yi took out an edict from his sleeve, "I took His Majesty's edict to tease you?" Are you crazy, or am I crazy? ”

Di Renjie looked at the edict in shock.

Han Yi handed it over and said: "Look at it yourself, Your Majesty personally instructed that you will be promoted to the rank of Chalu Shaocheng of the Civil Security Bureau on the same day, with the rank of seventh-rank official." ”

Because when the eldest grandson Yan took office at that time, the eldest grandson Wuji was still in power, that was at least above the fifth grade, and it was impossible for Di Renjie to be directly promoted to the fifth grade, because the fifth grade was a hurdle, and the fifth rank or more was expensive, and Han Yi had also made great contributions at the beginning before he was promoted to the fifth grade, so he could only get another official title and transfer Di Renjie first.

Although Di Renjie knew that Han Yi was not stupid enough to forge a holy decree to tease him, this was too incredible, so he quickly took the edict and took a look, if it was so, he looked at Han Yi in confusion, "Why is this---?" ”

"Why else, of course it's because you're handsome!" Han Yi didn't have a good airway.

"Huh?"

Di Renjie looked at Han Yi with wide eyes.

Li Chunfeng couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Okay, okay, you are really, how old is he, don't tease him." ”

Han Yi said angrily: "I said Li Taishi, I'm about the same age as him, don't say that I'm as old as you." ”

Li Chunfeng suddenly reacted, looked at Han Yi embarrassedly, as if asking, are you okay to say this?

"Joke, joke!"

Han Yi smiled, and said to Di Renjie: "Di Renjie, do a good job, even if it's not for yourself, you have to fight for me, do you know that in order to promote you, I was disgusted by those birdmen and didn't sleep well all night, if something goes wrong, some birdmen will definitely put the blame on me." ”

Di Renjie was stunned suddenly, like waking up from a dream, although he didn't know the reason, but this was definitely a great joy, and hurriedly saluted Han Yi: "Thank you Han Shangshu for your promotion, Renjie will definitely not disappoint Han Shangshu's expectations." ”

Han Yi immediately said to Li Chunfeng: "See, how excited he is, I have long said that people don't want to stay here, and you still have to keep them." ”

Di Renjie hurriedly said: "Han Shangshu, Li Taishi, this is not what Xia Guan meant. ”

Li Chunfeng said: "You don't need to explain, the old man doesn't know him yet, and his speech is always so stinging." ”

"It's humor."

"Even if it's humor, it's shameless humor. You're clearly making fun of people. ”

"Li Taishi, you are really serious about what you say." Han Yi said: "Usually when have I teased him, but today he was promoted, I teased him, and he will never be angry." ”

Di Renjie nodded again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, the lower officials know that Han Shangshu has no malicious intent." ”

"See!"

At this moment, a sword and pen official dressed in a household uniform walked in and said, "Qi Han Shangshu, Zhang Shilang ordered the villain to come and inform Han Shangshu that Director Zheng has returned." ”

"It came at the right time." Han Yi smiled and said, "You go back and let Director Zheng have a good rest, and come to Xiao Mansion to find me tomorrow." ”

"Yes."

Han Yi said to Di Renjie again: "Hurry up and say goodbye to those friends of yours, by the way, I will take you to the Civil Security Bureau to report today, if you go alone, I am afraid that you will be bullied." ”
