"Did you hear it all?"

"Hmm!" Guo Zongxun nodded silently, then bowed deeply and thanked Ye Hua for his arrangement. He heard his father's words in the dark room on the side, and Guo Zongxun saw his father's unknown side for the first time.

He is the Son of Heaven and the master of the Great Zhou, he can destroy a country with a wave of his hand, hundreds of thousands of troops, willing to go up the sword mountain for him, go down to the sea of fire, rich all over the world, with Tianxian in his mouth, omnipotent, no weakness, no hesitation, and even not much emotion......

In Guo Zongxun's eyes, his father is like a diamond that shines all the time, every side is dazzling, without the slightest flaw.

But the words of his father just now completely broke Guo Zongxun's impression.

It turns out that his father will also be angry and vulnerable, he said that he doesn't care, but why did he talk to Ye Hua? Why the thunderstorm?

The father's plan was for the long-term development of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the restoration of the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties.

It's just that some people like to maliciously slander their father and drag their father back, these people should be killed!

"Master, I want to help my father, but I don't know what to do, will Mr. have a way?"

Ye Hua bowed, "If Your Highness can think like this, the saint will be happy." Ye Hua asked the crown prince to sit opposite him, and then said: "Your Highness, when the world sees Your Majesty, it is supreme authority and absolute power, but you don't know that Your Majesty is also carrying unparalleled pressure, which is heavier than Mount Tai." As a minister and a son, we should be more considerate of the difficulties of the Son of Heaven, he is more difficult than us! ”

Guo Zongxun thought about it seriously, and then thought so, and said helplessly: "The queen mother just didn't realize the difficulties of her father, so she insisted on going her own way, and it was also because I didn't fight and hurt the queen mother......"

Guo Zongxun revealed his heart in front of Ye Hua, and tears kept rolling in his eyes...... Ye Hua didn't want to continue this topic, there were some things that the prince had to understand by himself.

"Your Highness, since the Son of Heaven has such great difficulties, we should share the worries of the Son of Heaven. If I'm not mistaken, this time the incident is not simply to pour dirty water on the Son of Heaven and disgust Your Majesty. There should be a deeper plan, a more sinister purpose! Ye Hua's voice became colder and colder, and his expression became more and more solemn.

Guo Zongxun became interested, leaned over and said, "Sir, what is their purpose, do you know?" ”

"I don't know yet!" Ye Hua said: "But they are in such a hurry, they should be able to see the clues soon." Your Highness, these days, I will invite Master Li to come over and check all kinds of official documents together to find clues. ”

Guo Zongxun immediately clapped his hands and said: "Mr. and Master Li will definitely be able to find out the black hand and wash away the grievances for my father, but it's a pity that the disciple is too stupid to help much, if only the uncle was here." ”

Ye Hua laughed, "Your uncle is an elm with a tendon, he is suitable for calculating the center of gravity of the artillery and the amount of gunpowder filling...... This kind of grass snake gray line thing, he can't do. If Your Highness is interested, you might as well come and take a look, maybe you will gain something. ”

"Really?"

Guo Zongxun immediately said excitedly: "Disciple, thank you, Mr. ”

As a prince, especially a crown prince, it was very late to receive a royal orthodox education until he was almost ten years old...... However, with Ye Hua and Li Xi mentioning it, Guo Zongxun's progress is also very fast.

In fact, this little guy is not too stupid, Queen Fu is right about one thing, Guo Zongxun may not be able to get a high score, but he can easily understand the meaning behind those official documents.

For example, the annual budget for river control is one of the few undisputed items in the DPRK and China, after all, no one dares to face the consequences of the flooding of the river, and the flood is monstrous, so it doesn't matter if you are a scholar or an ordinary person.

As a result, the budget for river control will be allocated more than normal.

In the evaluation, if you get the excellent grade, it shows that about seventy percent of the money is used to control the water, if you don't get the excellent grade, it means that almost half of the money is peeled layer by layer, and the ink is greedy.

Li Xian casually found two official documents, one of which mentioned that the flood was monstrous, which was rare in the past years, the embankment burst, more than 1,000 people drowned, and the loss of property was not calculated, and asked the imperial court to allocate money and grain to relieve the victims.

"Your Highness, this recital is written with sincere words and speaks for the people everywhere, but if I remember correctly, three years ago, there was also a sum of money allocated for river control, saying that it could be done for twenty years of peace of mind, and it was only more than two years, and it was decided again, how much money was greedy, only God knows!"

Guo Zongxun gritted his teeth, and his hatred was monstrous.

What a big dog, isn't the money of the imperial court the money of our Guo family?

"Bachelor Li, like these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, why don't you arrest them, ask them for their crimes, and kill their heads?" The little guy said indignantly.

Li Xian chuckled, "Which is so easy? A flood rushed in, washing away all the account books of the past years, and the relevant witnesses were also dead, and there was no evidence at all. And the magistrate bit to death because the flood was too great and unexpected. After the flooding, he worked tirelessly to investigate the disaster, and then wrote a letter to ask for the people's life, which can be called a diligent government and love the people. If it is expected to be good, his evaluation should be excellent, and maybe he will be promoted to the prefect! ”

As he spoke, Li Xi took out the list of officials who had been assessed earlier and sent it to Guo Zongxun from the pile of old papers, and it really made Li Xi say that it was an excellent evaluation, and it should be promoted and reused! ”

Guo Zongxun couldn't believe it, is this the real Da Zhou?

Why don't you investigate, why can you condone officials who harm the people? Are all the officials blind?

"Your Highness, it's still the same sentence, you must pay attention to evidence in handling cases, and if you rashly overturn the assessment of the officials without evidence, this list will be invalidated...... In this way, the officials on the list, as well as the officials in charge of evaluation, will be implicated, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, there is no full evidence, even the Son of Heaven cannot make a decisive decision, just like the so-called not stupid and deaf, not to be a master. If you have to be more serious about everything, everyone below is in danger, and the world will be uneasy! ”

is worthy of being a proud protégé trained by Feng Dao, and Li Shi can be regarded as seeing this set of bureaucrats clearly.

Although Ye Hua also understood what Li Shi said, he had a different opinion.

"Even if the atmosphere is like this, as a superior person, you should also have a clear heart and eyes, and not be deceived by appearances. If the Son of Heaven is the same as the light and condones lawlessness, the people below will be tenfold and hundredfold and do evil. Ye Hua said: "So the Son of Heaven wants to use some lonely ministers, promote upright people, and tolerate some crows and noise." With them, they can always catch some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, teach a lesson to the officials, and give the people a hope......"

Ye Hua and Li Xi stood from two angles, constantly instilling ideas to Guo Zongxun, at first the little guy was painful, and he didn't know whose words to follow...... But gradually, Guo Zongxun seemed to have realized, no matter who he listened to, it was a blind man touching an elephant, and when he only caught a piece, he thought he understood everything, as a son of heaven, he could not understand, but he could not think that he understood!

In the following days, Guo Zongxun was very happy, he had to go to the school during the day, and he would come to Yefu to listen to the lectures at night.

The little guy saw that Mr. was working hard, and brought back a bag of beans he had grown himself from the school.

When I arrived at the Ye family, I washed it carefully, then added red dates, lotus seeds, white fungus and other things, and then ran to the flower room at the back, and poured out the white frost sugar according to the method taught by the uncle.

Put all the ingredients into the casserole, and then put it in the casserole to boil.

There is no skill in cooking porridge, as long as the heat is enough and the ingredients are sufficient, it will not be too bad.

Every day until midnight, Guo Zongxun gave two gentlemen, each a bowl of lotus seed soup.

Warm heart and stomach, Ye Hua is very satisfied, Li Xi is even more excited, "Your Highness's craftsmanship is really good, the one in our family, except for being able to dance knives and guns, can't do anything, it's just a waste!" ”

Li Xian complained about his daughter-in-law, his supper every night was similar to taking medicine, and then he looked up at Ye Hua and found that he looked like he was suffering from the same disease, and couldn't help laughing.

"Senior brother, I remember, my younger brother and sister can't cook! Brother finally didn't lose too badly...... Hahaha! ”

Ye Hua hummed angrily and hugged the porridge bowl, went to the desk to eat porridge while reading the official document, too lazy to take care of Li Shi.

At this moment, Brother Guo Xing suddenly walked in with a smile.

"Brother, it's done!"

The little boy was full of pride, and the first batch of gunpowder in the Champion Fang succeeded, and a total of thirty guns were mass-produced, all of which were qualified.

Brother Guo Xing was relieved, "From now on, the male soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be rampant in the world, and there will be no opponents!" ”

Guo Zongxun's eyes were full of little stars, and he adored: "Uncle is so amazing, try a bowl of lotus seed soup!" ”

Brother Guo Xingge took the porridge bowl and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I still have good news for you, the workshop we set up in Hanzhong has sent back the news, and a carriage can make about a lot of money...... We didn't lose anything, and we can make a small profit! ”

Guo Zongxun was puzzled: "Uncle, it didn't mean that the cost was more than eight yuan, we sold more than five yuan, how could we not lose money?" Could it be that the gentleman has made up for us more? ”

Guo Zongxun tilted his head and looked at Ye Hua.

Ye Hua smiled slightly, "I didn't pay for it, but I know the reason for making money." ”

Now it was Brother Guo Xing's turn to be surprised, "Brother, how do you know?" ”

"Of course I know that Hanzhong has a low cost, to be precise, it's deflation there, right?"

As a person trained by Ye Hua, of course Brother Guo Xing knew the meaning of these two words, and he said excitedly: "Brother, you are really a god, I calculated it, Kaifeng can buy things for two pennies if you get it to Yizhou for one penny!" That's twice as much! ”

Syllable!

Ye Hua slammed the table and snorted angrily.

"Senior brother, the current situation is finally clear."

Li Shi rubbed his reddened eyes and echoed: "That's right, Bashu lacks copper, coupled with the difficult and dangerous roads, and the abundant products, all along, Bashu's goods are of high quality and low price. In the Tang Dynasty, Bashu was the first to come up with flying money to solve the problem of insufficient currency. Such a large arbitrage space is really mouth-watering! ”

Ye Hua nodded, "I finally found the reason why Meng Chang must die, it's really a good calculation, covering up the crime, and throwing the black pot to the Son of Heaven, amazing!" ”

Although Guo Zongxun didn't understand the words of the gentlemen, he could guess that it should be his father's grievances, and the little guy blushed excitedly!

Ye Hua said awe-inspiringly: "Your Highness, early tomorrow morning, we will make an all-out attack and find out the truth!" ”
