If Xia Qing could come up with a way, he would definitely have proposed it a long time ago, and could he wait until today?

However, he suddenly had an idea, isn't this a good time to dig a pit?

"Your Majesty! There is no good way for Weichen, but the officials of the DPRK and China must be able to come up with a way. ”

He is ready to kick this pot out again, he is a civil servant, as long as he comes up with an idea, he will do it by others.

The emperor couldn't help but be annoyed by Xia Qing's prevarication, if there were officials in the court who could come up with a way, would he still need to be so irritable?

This Xia Qing himself is not capable, but the ability to lead the water to the east is not small.

"I told you to think about it, but you want to blame it on others?" The emperor said angrily towards Xia Qing.

Hum! That Min Feng was still kneeling outside, but Xia Qing still wanted to shirk the matter, why didn't this make him angry?

Now that he is anxious about the border salary, the cabinet does not want to solve it, and will only take those trivial things and say goodbye to him.

He didn't know that he had raised so many idlers, all of whom were officials who just stretched out their hands to get their money, but ignored everything.

"I see that you are very idle every day, I don't know what the cabinet officials are doing, do I raise you all to eat idle food?"

Xia Qing trembled when he heard this, he had forgotten his current situation, and he was just used to pushing out troubles.

He lowered his body to the ground, and he didn't dare to look up at the emperor's angry expression.

"Please calm the emperor's anger! Weichen is also to find a solution, as the saying goes, three stinkers are worth one Zhuge Liang, and there are many natural ways to do it. Please ask the emperor to allow Weichen to go back and think about it, and wait for Ming'er to reply to the emperor after the next court. ”

Xia Qing plans to go back and think about it, there are still a few staff members in the house to discuss, one person is short and two are long, it is better than being forced to give an answer now!

The emperor tried his best to suppress the anger that surged up in his heart, in fact, he also knew that the government and the opposition could not solve the matter, how could he solve it by one person?

He nodded and said, "Then I'll give you a day, and I'll give me an answer when Ming'er comes down." ”

Xia Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor had opened his mouth.

The emperor didn't say how much silver he wanted, it depends on Xia Qing's ability.

It's not that the treasury can't be moved, as long as you think of a way, you still worry that the money from the treasury can't come back?

"Your Majesty, what about Min Feng?" Xia Qing said this, and glanced at the emperor carefully.

The emperor smiled coldly, "What? You love this apprentice very much, but he deceives me, and I will always punish him. Otherwise, how can you block the mouths of the court? Just let him kneel like that! Ming'er began to rest at home for a few days, and asked someone else to take over the errands in the Hanlin Academy. ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he shouted outside. De'an heard the shout and hurriedly entered the imperial study.

"Your Majesty! Do you have something to command your minions? De'an glanced at Xia Qing, who was kneeling in front of the imperial case, and thought to himself, this master and apprentice are in trouble together!

Still on their knees! It's been an hour since Shousuke came in, so has he been kneeling until now?

The emperor told De'an about Min Feng's disposition just now, and asked him to go and inform Zhang Hai.

Even if Xia Qing is unwilling, he is helpless. When Min Feng will come to Hanlin Academy to be on duty, it depends on when he will solve the matter of side salary.

If it weren't for Xia Qing, the emperor would definitely teach Min Feng a good lesson, and it was very likely that the official would be demoted by one level. It's just that the emperor wants Xia Qing to do things for him, so he naturally wants to let Min Feng go.

"Who is that person you are talking about?" After a pause, the emperor's voice suddenly sounded.

Xia Qing was stunned, he thought that the emperor would not ask.

He was hesitating, what he said just now had already made the emperor very dissatisfied, so if he said that person, would the emperor think that he was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate? The estrangement between him has deepened, so how can it be good?

To say that he has no selfish intentions, he certainly can't. However, he also heard rumors that Gu Chengyu's methods of collecting money were very clever.

Gu's was originally just a farmer, but he was taken by Gu Chengyu to make a fortune, which shows that he is a little capable.

"I ask you! Who is that man? Who in the court can think of a good idea? ”

The emperor had a faint guess in his heart, Xia Qing was very likely to say that person. The two have been together for decades, and they still understand their temperament and temperament.

Xia Qing will retaliate, and if he can't say it, he wants to take revenge on Gu Chengyu. He planned to wait for Xia Qing to say Gu Chengyu, and then reprimand him fiercely.

But then, he thought of the last time the second child talked about Gu Chengyu's ability to earn silver.

The emperor thought about it for a while, so Gu Chengyu might really be able to solve the problem of side salary. Or maybe even solve the problem of the empty treasury.

When the emperor thought about it, he thought it was very feasible.

"Your Majesty! In fact, the person Weichen wants to recommend is Gu Chengyu. His ability is also clear to the emperor, or maybe he has a good way? Besides, I heard that his family also has a soap recipe, and he makes a lot of profits every year. ”

Xia Qing had already heard that the soap recipe in Gu Chengyu's hand was profitable, so he naturally had hot eyes

。 It's a pity that there is also a backer behind him, that is Gu Chengyu's senior brother Yin Kun.

Yin Kun belongs to the Supervision Yuan, although it is the official position of Zheng Sanpin, but the Supervision Institute has special powers, and the officials in the court are most afraid of the Supervision Yuan, and the most feared is the Dali Temple.

The duty of the Inspectorate is to exclusively picket and impeach hundreds of officials, and it is the yamen of the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven.

Those imperial historians have been looking for the mistakes of civil and military officials all day long, catching a little bit, biting like a mad dog.

The court officials generally don't offend them, otherwise he can dig out all the trivial things in the inner courtyard of your mansion and take a good look at you.

Therefore, Xia Qing inquired clearly in the morning, although his eyes were hot, he still didn't dare to move.

If Gu Chengyu knew about this, he would definitely be glad that he came to the capital, so he gave the profit of the soap to his senior brother Yicheng, otherwise those officials would have already started on the soap recipe.

When the emperor heard this, he sneered. Xia Qing didn't forget to step on Gu Chengyu at this time, but it's a pity that he, as an emperor, how could he take away the livelihood of his courtiers' families, doesn't this make the world laugh?

Besides, soap is not a necessity of life, only those who have money in the family will buy it.

It takes a long time to buy a piece, and the money earned is only a drop in the bucket for the treasury. He looked at Xia Qing's face, afraid that he had moved his own thoughts, right?

Of course, the emperor knows about soap, and the Internal Affairs Office has also purchased it, and it is indeed easy to use.

It's just that the Gu family is a cultivator, and it is impossible for him to become an imperial businessman, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore.

"I'm afraid you like the profit of Gu's soap, right? As the king of a country, if I take away the family of my courtiers, won't I make the world laugh? ”

The emperor has long known that Xia Qing loves money, which is a big weakness of Xia Qing, as long as it is not too much, he will naturally turn a blind eye.

He didn't dare to use a courtier who didn't have a weakness, and those people usually wanted more.
