"You also know that my father has been more fond of hunting recently, and he is not as frugal with food and clothing as before, so there is a book in the imperial history to advise his father." Li Chengqian said.

"That's right, what's the matter, why are you talking about this?" Wu Yuanqing asked in wonder, how can it be so good, the topic is on frugality, buddy hasn't told you who your buddy is scolding, okay.

"My father and the emperor just talked to Fang Xiang about this, and asked Emperor Shun with a smile that he used to make lacquerware, and there were more than ten people who discouraged him, what is there to admonish?" Li Chengqian said.

"Then, does Your Majesty want to compare yourself with Emperor Shun in this matter?" Wu Yuanqing asked funny.

"What, my father just wants to ask the courtiers what they eat better through Emperor Shun, and what is there to advise." Li Chengqian glanced at Wu Yuanqing angrily, this guy will bury his father.

"And then?" Wu Yuanqing shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively.

"Then, then, the imperial historian Chu Suiliang replied very high-soundingly, he said that poverty and luxury are the root cause of danger; If the lacquerware is not satisfied, it will further use gold and jade. Loyal ministers respect the monarch, and must guard against the slightest slightest, and if the chaos has already formed, there is no need to admonish it anymore. Li Chengqian imitated Chu Suiliang's impassioned and righteous words to scare his father.

"It's really shameless, where did he get the face to accuse His Majesty of being poor and extravagant. Why didn't he think about himself before he said this, the counselor who was only appointed the year before last began to renovate his mansion at the end of the year, and also bought the houses of a dozen or so people in the surrounding area, all of which were demolished and zoned to his new mansion. He himself can repair the big mansion again, and he eats and uses fine clothes and jade food, why don't he let Your Majesty, Niangniang eat better, use better." Wu Yuanqing scolded disdainfully.

"Maybe people feel that their money is earned by their own money, by selling words, and how to use it is their own business, and the father, mother, and we all use taxes from the people, so he can be extravagant as much as he wants, and we are poor and extravagant and desperate to use the people's fat and people's ointment." Li Chengqian sneered and mocked.

"Shit, can he Chu Suiliang be shameless to sell words? The flowers are not all his money, and where did his money come from, it was not issued by the imperial court, where did the court come from, it is not the taxes collected, if the expenses in the palace are all people's fat and people's ointment, then isn't his Chu Sui Lianghua's money? I'm most annoyed by this kind of double standards shameless guys. How to live well is deserved, the people in the palace use a little better, it is like robbing their family's money, what do you say loyal ministers love the king, I see, they are eager to declare that the whole world knows that they are dedicated to the sake of the people, only the royal family is eager to squeeze the people, so as to show that they are upright, they are honest, they are dedicated to the people, they are famous ministers." For these courtiers Wu Yuanqing really understands very well, one or two really do everything in order to brush up their prestige, and package themselves like saints, in fact, I don't know how luxurious it is to go to their house to see.

Datang has never treated ministers badly, especially middle and high-level officials, that Yulu is quite a lot, in addition to Yulu there are also various bonuses, the treatment is absolutely generous, although there is no high salary and honesty, but in fact, giving such a high salary is almost the same meaning.

Like a group of noble ministers with food, like the prince of the country and the prince of the county, the annual salary of the prince is converted into one or two thousand guan, seven or eight thousand guan, and the few princes like Wu Yuanqing also have several thousand guan.

And the middle and high-level officials who do not have food are at least hundreds or thousands, and those like Chu Suiliang who have not only a low title, but also rank among the imperial historians, are all six or seven thousand years old.

What is the concept of six or seven thousand, one bucket of rice is four yuan, one stone of rice is forty yuan, and one stone of rice is about one hundred and twenty catties. Consistent money can buy twenty-five stone rice. Even if you have less money, you can buy 2,500 catties of rice, which is enough to feed a family of two or six, and you can eat well. Even if there are other expenses, the money is enough for a family of six to spend a year.

Six or seven thousand, that is to say, Chu Suiliang's annual income alone can support thirty or forty thousand people a year.

In this way, you can intuitively know what kind of life Chu Suiliang has lived in the past year, to put it mildly, his life is really better than that of the emperor and queen, and he has a nourishing life.

In the years when Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, the eldest grandson himself wore a skirt that showed his feet every day. Don't look at this is the most open feudal dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, women can breasts half-exposed, but the feet are more private than the chest, which is a taboo for women, and it cannot be exposed.

But the eldest grandson and queen wore a skirt with her feet exposed, why, because the Tang Dynasty had just been established, and she was extorted by Jieli Khan, she was poor.

In order to promote frugality, the eldest grandson had to lead by example, wearing a skirt that showed his feet was just to save some fabric, and the use in the palace could also be saved.

Wu Yuanqing himself knew very well that at that time, although the expenses of other people in the martial arts family had regulations, Wu Yuanqing, who could be more than half of the family, could spend as much as he wanted, and he could spend as much as he wanted.

When Jin Yang had a conflict with Wen Yanbo's son Wen Ting and Pei Lian's son Lawyer Pei, which time did they not have to earn dozens, hundreds, or thousands of dollars from them.

Yes, it is true that these people also have a fixed amount of money at home, but in practice, who can spend more and don't know how much, and can take out no knows.

Either one is better than the bitter His Royal Highness the Prince.

That's the reality.

In history, whenever the emperor was a Ming monarch, the ministers always lived better than the royal family, especially better than the emperor.

And the other is that no matter whether the emperor is a Ming monarch or not, except for those like Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Yongzheng who are actively anti-corruption, at any time, as long as they are not as extremely honest as Hai Rui and regard honesty as their life, which minister can still live a bad life, which one is not a beautiful wife, beautiful wine and food.

Therefore, in Wu Yuanqing's view, he lives better than the emperor, and he is a chic person, but he advises the emperor to be thrifty and not extravagant.

But Wu Yuanqing and Li Chengqian are just scolding and having fun, they all know this kind of thing, and now it's not their turn to care, one is just the prince, and the other doesn't have any official position except for the title, and they can't take care of it.

Especially Li Chengqian, he and Wu Yuanqing scolded in the East Palace, these words can't be passed on yet, otherwise I don't know how the minister will arrange and impeach him at that time.

"Hey, by the way, patronizing and scolding Chu Suiliang, you haven't said who you scolded on the way here." After enough of addiction, Li Chengqian finally remembered the previous topic.

"Rub."
