Among the four, the one who reacted the most was He Shouli.

He Xiangye is a lot older, and he walks a lot slower on weekdays, but at this time, he stood up with a "pout", bowed his hand, and said emotionally, "Your Majesty, no." I am a dignified celestial empire, how can I do business? Cooperating with private businessmen, and sharing accounts with each other afterwards, it really lost the prestige of the court, and Weichen thought that this matter was very inappropriate. I hope that Your Majesty will be enlightened. ”

The emperor frowned in displeasure.

He knew it was going to be like this. These old antiques, even if they know that the treasury is tight, they have always talked about the same old tune. Whether it is useful or not, all of them encourage land reclamation, encourage farming and weaving, encourage the people to have more children, and so on.

As long as the mention of strengthening trade and giving more convenience to the merchants, these guys are like being stepped on by the tail and jumping on their feet.

He wondered, if trade flourished, didn't that mean an increase in taxes? Isn't the tax collected from the merchants silver?

The emperor's voice sank, and he said, "This matter has been made clear just now, the supervisor will help Qingyun Zhai to improve glass technology, and the income from the new technology will be collected and paid to the household department in the form of taxes, and the imperial court and the general supervisor will not participate in the affairs of Qingyun Zhai's merchants." ”

The emperor's tone was not good, he did not allow the court officials to participate in the affairs of Qingyunzhai Glass Shop. If it is really such an official position, even if it is a low grade, these people are afraid that they will immediately plan how to insert their own family of people into it, instead of jumping to oppose it at the first time.

He Shouli believes that he is not ambiguous at all on matters of principle, and he is not afraid.

However, the imperial court will eventually sign a contract with Qingyunzhai. Qingyunzhai is just a shop, with no identity and no qualifications to cooperate with the imperial court. ”

The emperor looked at He Shouli with a gloomy face, this is a thorn in the bite of the text, right?

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Qingyun Zhai has lofty intentions, in order to give the poor people more warmth in winter, and I must support this matter." Qingyunzhai now has difficulty recruiting craftsmen, and only the craftsmen who will be the supervisors are the most suitable for doing this.

I have come to you to ask the Cabinet to draw up this document and determine how the proceeds of the new technology will be turned into a reasonable tax. We must not let others find a loophole and mess up the taxes of the imperial court."

The emperor's tone was so resolute that He Shouli listened to it and immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, as soon as this cooperation comes out, it will definitely cause an uproar." Since ancient times, businessmen have speculated for profit, which is despised by the world. The emperor's move undoubtedly raised the status of a businessman in front of the people of the world.

Since then, if the people of the world are unwilling to work hard, and the students cannot bear to study hard, and everyone pursues the interests of business, I am afraid that it will not be long before the country will not be a country, Your Majesty. ”

"Bold!" The Emperor slapped the table with a slap.

It is obviously a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but in the mouths of these old decayers, it has actually become a move to destroy the country, which is ridiculous!

Lord Shousuke and the emperor froze together, causing the emperor to be furious.

The other three people in the cabinet were already stunned, and even Qu Jiang was stunned.

At this time, seeing that the emperor was angry, he couldn't sit still, so he stood up one after another and knelt silently behind He Shouli.

Qu Jiang sorted out the ins and outs of this matter over and over again in his heart, no matter how you look at it, it's not wrong, why did He Xiangye twist this momentum? ”

Gao Qi agrees with He Shouli's point of view, but at this time, things have been frozen like this, but he is not good, and he does not have the courage to beat gongs and drums against the emperor.

Only He Shouli is more serious than the emperor, and the emperor may remember that He Shouli is diligent and upright, and does not care about him. But if there is one more person, I'm afraid it won't be easy to say, team up to fight with the emperor in the ring, looking for death.

couldn't think of a way to alleviate it for a while, Gao Qi could only give Zhan Kangwen a look again and again.

At this time, it is usually Zhan Kangwen who plays the role of lubrication and eases the tense scene.

Zhan Kangwen, a peacemaker, has always been very good, so naturally he can't watch the emperor do what He Shouli did.

He Shouli is the most senior among them.

If he is punished by the emperor today because He Xiangye opposes the emperor's promotion of Shangjia, it will be of no benefit to He Shouli and the emperor.

Things are out of control, He Shouli is naturally going to suffer, whether he is demoted or resigned, it is a loss for He Shouli.

And the emperor, in order to support the Xia family's business and elevate the Xia family's businessman's status, disposed of He Xiangye, who has always been diligent, and did not benefit the emperor's wise and martial image.

Zhan Xiangye's brain has always turned quickly, that is, in a few breaths, he found the entry point of being a peacemaker.

Zhan Kangwen kowtowed first, and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty is angry." Weichen believes that this matter should indeed be treated cautiously and made a decision after proper discussion. ”

Zhan Kangwen's words, the emperor can still listen to them, and this tone is also very calming.

"What else needs to be discussed?" The Emperor asked.

"As Your Majesty said, if glass technology can really be greatly improved, glass can enter the homes of ordinary people, and in this way, the production and sales of glass will be extremely huge."

The emperor's eyes flashed, he understood what Zhan Kangwen meant, and he had already thought of this question.

When he took a fancy to Xia Ke's Zhongzheng and planned to reuse Xia Ke and Xia Zitang, he thought of the Xia family's financial resources.

It's just that he doesn't have a proper solution yet. Although he wanted to use this financial resources to support his grandson's ascension, he also knew that this practice was a bit unjustifiable, and he didn't know if the daughter of the Xia family was willing.

And now, Zhan Kangwen has brought this question up.

"You go on." The Emperor's tone softened.

Gao Qi and a few others breathed a sigh of relief, and they also sighed in their hearts, Zhan Kangwen's ability to make the mud dissipate the emperor unconsciously.

Zhan Kangwen said: "Let the Xia family dominate in such a huge industry, it is not beneficial to the imperial court or the Xia family. Chen thought that he could take this opportunity to find another big businessman to participate in technical improvement, which was used to disperse the Xia family's arbitrary position in the glass industry. It is better for this merchant to be an imperial merchant. ”

The emperor glanced at He Shouli, who was prostrate on the ground, Zhan Kangwen's proposal still couldn't solve the problem of Qingyunzhai's lack of craftsmen.

As long as the prison will continue to participate, a large number of officials who want to use He Shouli as their hand will still oppose this.

However, the imperial merchant mentioned by Zhan Kangwen is much higher than that of ordinary businessmen, and things may be easier to do.

Zhan Kangwen's next words solve this problem.

He has long seen the disadvantages of Qingyunzhai's glass industry, such an industry leader, if he is finally suspicious of the superior because of excessive financial resources, and eventually leads to the decline of the Xia family's mansion, it is really a pity.

Now there is a chance for the Xia family to avoid this outcome. Although the silver earns less, does it matter if the silver has a life? Is it important to have peace and joy?
