Chapter 470: Shrewd Man
Ming Yan has worked hard for this, and this classmate has met Gu Wanfang in the capital before.
Only the classmate saw Gu Wanfang so down, so he just exchanged a few words of greeting, and the two did not interact again.
"The post was dealt with?" Gu Chengyu asked casually.
"Don't worry, sir! It's been dealt with. Mingmo believes that adults have their own plans, so they don't talk anymore.
Gu Chengyu also knew that Gu Wanfang couldn't spend the night outside, since he was seeing his classmates, and his classmates were living in the academy, how could he stay with Gu Wanqian for the night?
In order not to arouse Gu Changbai's suspicion, Gu Wanfang had to go back earlier.
It didn't take long for the carriage to come to the Liang Mansion, and the concierge of the Liang Mansion was also very familiar with Ming Yan, so he directly put the person in.
Liang Zhirui was about to go to the inner courtyard for dinner, when he suddenly heard that Gu Chengyu was coming, he knew that Gu Chengyu was looking for him.
He asked Ning and Yao Mengxian to use it first, and when he turned around, he was about to go to the outer study.
"Let's have a meal first! Jinyu came over at this time, thinking that it was useless to eat, so I asked the big kitchen to add a few more dishes. ”
When Ning heard that Gu Chengyu was coming, he was also very happy, and got up and went to the big kitchen.
Yao Mengxian had to eat a few bites in a hurry and went back to her room. Seeing this, Gao's mother wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't speak.
Her girl has lost a lot since she went to the Guogong Mansion, and this time she finally came to live in the old lady's house for a while, and she still wants the girl to take care of her body!
The parents of girls at this age are fast, and if they do not take care of their bodies, they may hinder their children in the future.
However, she also knew that Master Gu would definitely come over later, and the girl was also to avoid suspicion.
Gu Chengyu went straight to the teacher's outer study and waited for the teacher to come over.
"Ming Yan, you go and invite my second senior brother to come to Liang Mansion for a while, and by the way, I can call the third senior brother." Gu Chengyu commanded at Ming Yan.
Wu An wanted to know the specific matters of the tea tax, and it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, so that he would have to go to Wu Mansion tomorrow.
The emperor asked him to draw up a detailed excerpt of salt within two days, and his time was still very short.
As for whether Wu An was called He Jisheng when he came, that was Wu An's business.
Ming Yan took the order and went out, and after waiting for long, Liang Zhirui came to the outer study.
"Have you had dinner? Why didn't you say it in advance, so that the big kitchen could cook more dishes. ”
As soon as Liang Zhirui came to the outer study, he complained that Gu Chengyu didn't say it in advance.
Their life in Liangfu has always been frugal, and there are not many masters in the house, so they are not extravagant and wasteful in terms of food and clothing.
Gu Chengyu didn't say it in advance, the food would not be enough. Gu Chengyu eats a lot of food and loves meat, and the food in their house is mainly light.
was asked by Liang Zhirui, Gu Chengyu remembered that he really hadn't eaten!
"It's not that you don't know, students are not picky eaters at all, just deal with a bite! I still have something to talk to the teacher. ”
Gu Chengyu thought about Gu Wanfang's affairs, so he didn't plan to stay in the Liang Mansion for long.
"Then follow me to the inner courtyard!"
His own disciple, Liang Zhirui, of course, would not see outside, when he was in Jingyuan Mansion before, Gu Chengyu often dined with their old couple.
As for the granddaughter, I'm afraid she has already returned to the room.
Gu Chengyu naturally wouldn't be polite, "I have already called the second senior brother and the third senior brother, and I am ready to tell you what happened in the morning today." ”
He was promoted to such a big thing, so he had to talk to the teacher.
When Wu An and He Jisheng arrived in a hurry, Gu Chengyu and they had already had dinner.
"Teacher, Jinyu!"
"Second Senior Brother! Third Senior Brother! ”
Several people saluted each other and sat down.
Gu Chengyu knew that Wu An would be called He Jisheng, after all, he was still a fellow disciple.
After He Jisheng had already finished the dynasty, he wanted to discuss this matter with them, if he didn't call him when he came to the Liang Mansion, he would inevitably turn against him if he knew about it.
for it clearly excludes him,
"Jinyu! So what's going on with the tea tax? He Jisheng opened his mouth first, and he also heard some news later. I heard that Gu Chengyu was out of the limelight today, and he was promoted to a higher level.
"Ahem!" Gu Chengyu cleared his throat and was about to explain, but suddenly remembered that he still had the draft he had typed before in his sleeve, which he had brought with him before to be prepared.
"Please also take a look at it." Liang Zhirui already knew about the tea tax, but he didn't have time to tell the teacher about what he added later.
Wu An took the booklet and read it, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, so that when he saw the end of the end, he was still speechless for a long time.
Silently gave the booklet to He Jisheng, Wu An glanced at Gu Chengyu, his eyes darkened, and he did not speak.
didn't give the booklet to the teacher, which means that the teacher knows about it, and it seems that there is still a layer between him and Gu Chengyu.
He Jisheng couldn't wait to take the booklet and read it carefully.
Wu An then frowned, he had some opinions on the matter of tea tax, and felt that the tea tax was still inappropriate.
"There are already a lot of taxes in this dynasty, so why add a tea tax? Even if it only increases the burden on tea farmers and tea taxes, it will ultimately compete with the people for profit. ”
Wu An's thoughts were the same as what Liang Zhirui said about Gu Chengyu before, and Gu Chengyu was not surprised at all.
After all, Wu An is a more rigid person than a teacher, this kind of person is used to conformism, and his ability to accept all new things is not strong.
He was a little unaccustomed to new tax laws such as the tea tax.
Liang Zhirui didn't answer, only glanced at He Jisheng.
Seeing that He Jisheng was shocked at first, and then returned to his former calmness, and thoughtful, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Wu An is not as good as He Jisheng after all, judging from the expression just now, He Jisheng has already figured out the benefits of tea tax, and has some other ideas.
Gu Chengyu was just about to open his mouth to explain, when he saw Liang Zhirui waving his hand and pointing at He Jisheng, who was reading the booklet.
"Liming, you come and tell me your opinion in peace and smoothness."
Li Ming is He Jisheng's table, and Pingshun is Wu An's table.
The words of these two tables were taken by the teacher, and the words of the senior brother were taken by the previous academy Jiaoyu, called Bowei, which was taken by Kun.
After Gu Chengyu knew the words of the two, he was a little glad that his words were taken by the emperor.
He Jisheng thought for a while and said to Wu An: "I think the tea tax is much better than increasing other taxes, second senior brother!" After all, the tea tax only harms the interests of tea merchants and tea farmers, and increasing the tax will only make the people suffer and is not conducive to the stability of the imperial court. ”
No wonder the teacher valued He Jisheng so much before, Gu Chengyu nodded secretly, He Jisheng does have some ability.
Wu An also knew about the emptiness of the treasury, and in the end he didn't say anything, only sighed slightly.
"Jinyu, congratulations on your promotion!"
He Jisheng took the lead in congratulating Gu Chengyu, he planned to get along with Gu Chengyu in the future, after all, Gu Chengyu's future was not bad.
There is no shortage of smart people in the officialdom, and some officials can naturally guess the deep meaning behind the emperor's promotion of Gu Chengyu, and He Jisheng is one of them.
