Xiao Xuanwu is not very conspicuous on weekdays, but this time the order to innovate the imperial examination is very vigorous, no, it has only been three days to receive the order, and he has already transferred all the manpower from various ministries to form a good imperial examination innovation team, not only that, but also jointly issued a statement with the Zhili side, announcing the imperial examination innovation pilot and related tentative rules, not only in the form of official announcements to inform the world, but also in the "Beijing Times" with a large article to introduce the connotation of the imperial examination innovation and far-reaching significance.

As soon as the statement issued by the imperial examination reform group in the name of the Ministry of Rites came out, the government and the opposition caused a sensation, and the already vigorous heated discussion inevitably became a little more vigorous, but the heated discussion was hotly discussed, but the people who fought were rare, and there was no side, this is the holy will, and how could ordinary people dare to disobey indiscriminately, besides, the reform matter spanned 20 years, and the impact on the current talents and lifters can be said to be minimal, and in the case that their own interests are not greatly affected, those sub-scholars will not play any reckless and risky deeds. can be discussed for a while, but it is inevitable.

Others don't talk about it, Hongqing doesn't bother to pay attention to it at all, as long as it doesn't make a big deal like a book on the bus, it is within an acceptable range, after all, it seems that the imperial examination innovation has not been a big move for thousands of years, it is impossible to expect everyone to agree, at least before the effect appears, the vast majority of Confucian children are afraid that they are suspicious, for this, Hongqing has long expected this, but he does not take it to heart, he only cares about it - progress! No matter how busy he is, he has to take a lot of time out every day to exchange views with Xiao Xuanwu on innovation matters to ensure that this matter can go smoothly.

Although the first batch of pilot projects of the imperial examination innovation is only directly under one place, it can involve a lot of aspects, not only the imperial examination innovation team is busy, but also the local is also a faction of chickens and dogs, not to mention, just the site selection planning of schools at all levels and the allocation of teaching staff, it is not an easy job, the imperial examination innovation team has been busy for three months, but it is still far from the final draft. But what is more is Hongqing's strictness on this matter, and there is no room for ambiguity at all, no, it is almost noon, but Hongqing is still discussing with Xiao Xuanwu about the planning of schools at all levels.

"Your Majesty, Prince Xin asks to see you outside the palace gate."

Just as Hongqing and Xiao Xuanwu were talking, they saw Li Dequan hurriedly coming in from outside the palace, rushed to the front of the palace, bowed down, and cautiously reported a word.

"Resignation."

This is Hongsheng came to ask to see, Hongqing's brows couldn't help frowning, no side, for this stubborn second brother since childhood, Hongqing has always had no good impression at all, the reason why he has not moved it, but after ascending the throne, he was named the prince, but Hongqing was entangled in government affairs, and he couldn't pull out for a while, of course, before he took this fang, the dignity that should be given must still be given, because of this, although reluctant, but Hongqing still allowed him to ask to see.

"Wow!"

Since Hongqing had an order, Li Dequan didn't dare to be careless, responded respectfully, and hurriedly withdrew from the hall, and went to summon Hongsheng to come to the audience without mentioning it.

"Luoshan, let's talk about this place first, the planning has to be stepped up, if there is any problem that can't be solved, and I will come to find me, I should be the master."

Although he is very unkind to Hongsheng, but the dignity of the heavenly family cannot but be exquisite, no matter what the hell is going on, as a brother, he must finally show some attention, in view of this, although the conversation with Xiao Xuanwu has only been halfway through, Hongqing can only stop first.

"Your Majesty, the ministers should do their best."

Although the intention was still unfinished, since Hongqing had given the order to expel the guests, Xiao Xuanwu did not dare to delay it slightly, so he could only praise respectfully, and then withdrew from the main hall and went back to the Ministry of Rites.

"Brother knock to see His Majesty."

Xiao Xuanwu had just retreated for a while, and the chubby Hongsheng walked into the hall accompanied by Li Dequan.

"The second brother doesn't have to be polite, and he is well, come and give him a seat."

Looking at Hongsheng's chubby face, Hongqing felt a burst of nausea for no reason, but he didn't show it, but raised his hand with a smile on his face, and gave him a seat very kindly.

"Brother Xie Xià Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Since he was small, Hongsheng was afraid of the almost omnipotent Hongqing, and then with the full support of the fourth master, he had the courage to wrestle with Hongqing a few times, but unfortunately every time it was a big defeat, and when Hongqing ascended the throne, Hongsheng had completely rested his thoughts about going against Hongqing, but he was thinking about how to please Hongqing, but unfortunately his ability was limited, even if he thought about it, he couldn't find any good ideas, he could only be in a hurry, but Hongsheng did not give up his efforts to improve relations with Hongqing, Maybe it's because the emperor lives up to his heart, and it really makes Hongsheng find a great opportunity, so he will hurry to come to the audience, originally worried that Hongqing will give him a cold face, but now seeing Hongqing's attitude is so kind, Hongsheng's tense heartstrings are immediately loosened, and he is busy thanking him, and then he lifted the hem of his robe and sat sideways on the brocade pier carried by a group of little eunuchs.

"Second brother is so anxious to see me, but is there anything important?"

Although it is said that the dignity that should be given should be given, Hongqing is really too lazy to talk to the good-for-nothing Hongsheng, and he doesn't have much to say hello, so he goes straight to the topic.

"So that His Majesty can know that the younger brother has come here to have some important official duties."

As soon as he heard Hongqing's direct question, Hongsheng not only did not panic, but a layer of smug red light appeared on his face, and he replied confidently.

"Oh? If the second brother has something to do, just say it directly, I listen. ”

As soon as Hongsheng's words came out, Hongqing couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't figure out what this guy who didn't learn and didn't know what to do, but he didn't refuse, but smiled and encouraged him.

"Qi Xiang Xià, the younger brother got a wire report a few days ago, saying that someone was doing a lot of stock trading in Beijing without permission, and the younger brother didn't want to pay attention to it, but then I heard that many children of the Eight Banners were also involved, and some people took it out." Eight Banners Firm's shares to sell there, the younger brother is in charge of the central bank, since he did not dare to ignore it, so he sent someone to check it, and really found that many lawless people gathered in the alley of Nanheng Street, doing those secret selling business, the younger brother thought that this matter could not be tolerated, and because of the importance of the matter, the younger brother did not dare to act rashly, therefore, specially drafted a charter, please look at it. ”

Seeing Hongqing so kind, the red light on Hongsheng's face suddenly became a little brighter, and while taking out a yellow silk masked fold from the wide sleeves, he chattered and explained, his face full of self-satisfaction.

"Hand it over."

Hongqing originally didn't have much expectation for Hongsheng's report, but this time he heard that someone was actually playing the stock exchange, and even if he came to the spirit, he didn't ask much, and waved his hand, and he hurriedly commanded.

"Wow!"

Hearing Hongqing's order, Li Dequan didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked down the front pier, stretched out his hand to take the fold held by Hongsheng, and presented it to Hongqing.

"I already know about this matter, so I don't rush to take action first, I have my own ideas when I turn around."

Hongqing read Hongsheng's folds carefully several times, and when there was a burst of excitement in his heart, there was nothing else, such things as the stock exchange would only appear when the capital had been transformed from the embryonic state to the mature state, and Hongqing originally planned to wait for the war against the six Western countries, and then put this matter on the agenda, but he did not expect that the people had begun to spontaneously do things, obviously, this marks that the economy of the Qing Dynasty has begun to transform from a small peasant economy to a capital economy, which is undoubtedly a good thing. It's just that how to guide such stock exchanges still needs to be properly considered.

"Your Majesty, the younger brother should act according to his orders."

Hongsheng took out such a charter, which was supposed to invite credit, and seeing that Hongqing didn't seem to care much about this matter, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but Hongqing already had instructions, and he didn't dare to make random claims, so he could only praise honestly.

"The second brother is so careful, I am very relieved, this matter is related to the financial security of my Qing Dynasty, I can't take it lightly, I have to consider one or two, and then go back and give the second brother a will."

Hongsheng has never been a person who is good at disguising, and the thick look of loss on his face is too obvious, Hongqing can see it at a glance, and he can't help but worry that this guy will act indiscriminately, so he comforted him with kind words.

"Your Majesty rest assured, the younger brother knows what to do, ah, there is one more thing, the end of this year has arrived, as usual, after the beginning of the spring, you must inspect the banks and money banks, the younger brother has drawn up a list, and please ask your majesty to judge one."

Hearing Hongqing's kind words and comfort, Hongsheng's frustrated mood calmed down a lot, first he expressed his posture respectfully, and then, he shook his hand and took out a fold from the wide sleeve and raised it high above his head.

"Oh? Hand it over. ”

It is the duty of the central bank to inspect the banks and the bank, and this article was stipulated when Hongqing established the central bank.

"Wow!"

Hongqing's golden mouth was opened, how dare Li Dequan have the slightest delay, hurriedly ran down the front pier, stretched out his hand to take the fold, and presented it to Hongqing.
