Chapter 779: Foregone Conclusion

"Well, clean up here, I'll go to the study and have a look." After speaking, Xu Lizhao raised his legs and walked towards the study.

Although he is now in the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Works, because there is no book above, the affairs of the Ministry of Industry must be watched by him. So it's usually very busy, and it's only one name worse than Shangshu.

As soon as he entered the working state, Xu Lizhao didn't think about anything, there have been a lot of things in the court recently, and he was willful last night, but now he can't do this, not to mention that His Majesty doesn't allow it, even he can't get over it in his heart.

The study was very quiet, Xu Lizhao watched quietly, only the sound of him writing on the official document.

The court was busy for several more days, and finally on the fifth day it was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The news from the northwest side came that the hidden guard had started to remove the silt in the river, and the effect was good, although the riverbank had been damaged, but Lin Hui had already made arrangements, calling on the people along the coast to simply repair the damaged embankment first.

The water flow in Sichuan and Chongqing is still quite large, and the amount of water that is divided into three streams is relatively large, and the people in the northwest cheer when they see that there is water in the river. Knowing that it was Yun Chen's idea, in an instant, Yun Chen's prestige among the people in the northwest was unprecedentedly high, and they all regarded Yun Chen as the savior of the entire northwest.

Yun Chen also received a message from Feng Yuebai, and the Feng family took the initiative to convene the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and after some negotiations, those merchants also agreed to sell a large amount of grain to the royal family at a lower price than usual, and then that night, the Feng family presided over the transportation of grain to the northwest.

Yun Chen was overjoyed when he learned about this, and immediately sent an edict to Jiangnan, first praising the Feng family and then praising the merchants in Jiangnan. One of the most controversial was that in order to reward the merchants for their righteous deeds, Yun Chen ordered that those merchants who contributed to this matter could allow one member of their family to participate in the future imperial examinations.

As soon as this edict was issued, the entire cloud country was in an uproar.

Those merchants didn't expect to get such an unexpected surprise, and they were very glad for the original move for a while, those merchants who refused the Feng family, and the merchants in other regions were one of them regretful and one was envious, but there was no way, the matter was already a foregone conclusion.

Compared with the joy of those merchants, many students and court officials in the world have great opinions on this. The students went on strike to protest, while the court officials wrote to Yunchen one by one, hoping that she would retract the order.

Yun Chen looked at the ministers who knelt down for nearly half of the time with an expressionless face, and didn't say anything. It wasn't until an hour later that Yun Chen spoke, "Since Zhong Aiqing likes to kneel so much, then I won't persuade him. Father-in-law, you are watching here, since the ministers like to kneel so much, then kneel enough. After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The court officials didn't expect Yun Chen to react like this, but they were all stunned. One by one, he looked at Deng Junxi, hoping that he would make a statement.

Now the right minister is sick in bed, Tang Ziyi is not there, and the person in charge of the hundred officials in the court is Deng Junxi, who has the most right to speak.

Deng Junxi felt the many eyes cast on him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, His Majesty wanted the businessmen to take the imperial examination, he already knew that this time because of the meritorious service of those businessmen, Yun Chen took the opportunity to bring up this matter, one is to spy on the attitude of the court and the world's students, and the other is to show that the royal reward is clear.

This matter has long been decided, it is impossible for Yun Chen to change it, and it is useless for him to persuade him.
