After Gu Chengyu had eaten, he seized the time to proofread the record.

After all, he has to prepare a detailed excerpt for the emperor when he goes back, and he has almost proofread the actual record, and he will send it to Lord Zhang tomorrow! After that, the focus was on the salt introduction.

This time, it should be impossible for the emperor to call him to the court to discuss politics, and the benefits of salt introduction were also given to him. Although the benefits were not great, Gu Chengyu was very satisfied.

I don't know how his mother felt when she received the edict? He guessed that he must have wept with joy.

Thinking like this, Gu Chengyu's thoughts about going home couldn't help but become anxious. This time, my father wrote that he would come to the capital with him to live for a while.

After all, he will be able to go back in two days. However, when he thought of going back, Gu Chengyu remembered the post of the eldest princess's mansion.

When I go back today, I have to ask the teacher, will there be any obstacles if I don't go to the banquet?

The eldest princess is a real golden branch and jade leaf, and even those families dare not offend. He didn't want to offend the most powerful lady in the capital when he had just become an official.

The news of Gu Chengyu's promotion spread all over the Hanlin Academy, and even the colleagues in the next room came to say hello to Gu Chengyu.

Of course, all of them are officials who are lower than Gu Chengyu or at the same level, and these people are familiar with Gu Chengyu in front of him.

Gu Chengyu knew that they were for the sake of his holy family, and he was going to become their peak in the future, whether he made friends or not, he was familiar with each other, and he would be easier to deal with in the future.

Otherwise, he had been in the Hanlin Academy for more than a month, so how could he still look at a few of these faces?

Gu Chengyu and Xia Qing were not on good terms before, and these people didn't dare to have anything to do with him. Although he doesn't dare to make friends now, he can't be regarded as avoiding him.

One morning, the house was full of people coming and going, Gu Chengyu was afraid that it would be too high-profile, so he hurriedly went to Master Zhang's place to take refuge.

"Jinyu! Congratulations on your promotion! As soon as Ye Zhiqiu climbed into the carriage, he said hello to Gu Chengyu, who was sitting in the carriage.

"You've heard that, too?" The news travels so fast, and in ancient times when there was no internet, the speed was surprising.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled, "A person who went to the early dynasty from the sixth grade, proposed the reform of the new tax and salt tax, and was appointed by the emperor as the attendant of the sixth grade in the early dynasty. In the past 100 years, only you have this ability and honor. ”

Ye Zhiqiu has always felt that Gu Chengyu's ability is extraordinary, as long as he has the opportunity, he will soar into the sky.

It is no wonder that Master Wen had such high expectations for Gu Chengyu at the beginning, Gu Chengyu had only been in the private school for less than two years, and the master said that he was no longer able to teach Gu Chengyu.

"I just happened to think of it, and the emperor was worried about the treasury before, and he mentioned it in front of me. Now that I have a way, I can't hide it. Besides, there are still benefits. ”

Gu Chengyu was a little more casual in front of Ye Zhiqiu, and he didn't shy away from his purpose in his words.

In fact, this is human nature, who doesn't want to be promoted? It's just that some people are incapable, and those methods are not something that anyone can think of.

"You have to tell me more about the tea tax and the salt introduction. The emperor hasn't announced it before, and it's not easy for you to reveal it, but now it can be regarded as a clear road. ”

It would take half an hour for the carriage to arrive at the Ye family, Gu Chengyu thought about it, instead of finding another time, it was better to make it clear to Ye Zhiqiu now.

......

When they were about to arrive at Ye Zhiqiu's house, the two finished talking about it.

"It's hard for you to think of such a method, I really admire it. According to what you say, the tea tax is imperative, and those tea merchants will definitely be dissatisfied if they want to pay the tea tax. If the tea merchants knew that you proposed it, they didn't know if they would hate you for it! ”

Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but worry.

Gu Chengyu's face froze when he heard this, he had thought about this question before.

The tea tax violated the interests of many officials, tea merchants, and tea farmers, and it was inevitable that it would be hindered when it was first implemented.

The tea tax was proposed by him again, and the officials who had a relationship with the tea merchants would definitely hate him, and those tea merchants might not know how to scold him behind their backs! Maybe he will have to unite with those officials and make a trick for him behind his back, which is also very possible.

However, Gu Chengyu is an official of the imperial court, and those people still have to be scrupulous. I don't have to worry about my life, I'm afraid that I will make some stumbling blocks on his official career in the future.

In fact, the tea tax is not impossible to reap the benefits, there are many benefits in it! It depends on their respective abilities, and from now on, it is the time for the eight immortals to cross the sea and show their magical powers.

"If the tea tax is not implemented, it will inevitably increase the tax, and the treasury has been empty for a long time, and the border salary can no longer be delayed. I'm just suggesting that it's the emperor who really makes the order, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

What's the point of carrying some infamy? The tea tax has little to do with ordinary people, and even those tea merchants can't make any big waves. If he is timid, then he doesn't need to be an official.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, although he felt that Gu Chengyu was reasonable, but he was still not at ease in the end, so he asked a few more words.

"You also serve snacks, be careful in the future." Ye Zhiqiu heard Gu Chengyu say that there was some collusion between the tea merchants and the officials just now, and he was worried.

Otherwise, it was just a tea merchant, so Gu Chengyu, as a court official, naturally didn't need to be afraid of them.

"Don't underestimate those tea merchants, as long as they make a big living, there must be officials behind them. In this way, you have made those officials lose a lot of benefits, and in the future, when you do things in the officialdom, someone will stumble on you, and you may not even know which one. ”

Gu Chengyu nodded, "I'll pay attention, but since you have chosen to enter the officialdom, don't be afraid of offending people." With different interests and positions, everyone will meet a few people who don't see you well. ‘

Gu Chengyu said this to Ye Zhiqiu, if you want to be left and right, you must not offend people, unless you have no great ability.

Cough! Of course, there is a suspicion of arrogance to think like this, but this is the truth.

Take Liu Zonghan, who worked with him, for example, Liu Zonghan handled interpersonal relationships very well. It's a pity that I don't have much ability, otherwise I wouldn't have moved my nest for many years.

Even if you are good friends with the officials of the Hanlin Academy and other yamen, but you have no ability, why should people pull you out?

Officials can be shrewd! I pulled you today, but you don't have the ability, don't say anything mediocre, if you do something stupid, wouldn't it be a burden to others?

sent Ye Zhiqiu back to his house, and then Gu Chengyu asked Ming Yan to drive the carriage to the Liang Mansion.

"My lord! Young Master Wan Fang has been invited by the little one, and now he is in the mansion. Ming Yan saw that there were few pedestrians on the road, so he lowered his voice and reported.

After all, the adults don't know how long they will stay in the Liang Mansion today, so this matter should be reported early, so Gu Wanhua can't go back to the inn at night.

"Oh? But for what reason? "Gu Chengyu didn't expect Ming Yan to be so efficient.

"The little one found out that Young Master Wanfang had a classmate who was studying in the capital before, so he sent a post in his name, which led people out."
