That is, Weichen's parents often taught themselves when Weichen was young. Everything is inferior, but reading is high. Study hard, and if you become an official in the future, you will be able to see the true dragon emperor. ”

"Oh? Your parents told you to study hard just to see me? ”

The emperor was successfully pleased by Gu Chengyu, and couldn't help but be excited.

In fact, Gu Chengyu also felt that he was too much of a sycophant, but who let the emperor really eat this set?

"Wechen's family is just a farmer, and his parents have little knowledge. However, even if you have little knowledge, you often nag at home, saying that this dynasty is under the rule of the emperor, and the people do not talk about honesty in their homes, but there is no shortage of food and drink. The taxes in this dynasty are not heavy, and the people are very grateful to the emperor. ”

Gu Chengyu felt that he had a fight with the ancient traitor in his previous life, and he was really shameless.

"Your parents are a good one."

The emperor was very happy at the moment, and he no longer cared about Gu Chengyu's mistakes before.

Gu Chengyu can be regarded as a foreshadowing for the things he will ask for later, this matter is not a big deal, so that the emperor is satisfied, this should be able to promise him, right?

"But don't think that you can get away with talking about him left and right."

Although the emperor is in a better mood at the moment, it is not something that Gu Chengyu can coax in a few words.

"Weichen knows that he has made a mistake, and he doesn't dare to ask the emperor for forgiveness, please punish the emperor!" Gu Chengyu said with a bitter face.

Anyway, just now in the early dynasty, the emperor's face was indeed damaged.

Although those ministers did not refute the emperor's words, who called Gu Chengyu still a sesame petty official? And the situation today is indeed different, especially when the emperor has other plans in his heart.

The emperor snorted coldly, "It depends on your performance, I asked you to introduce the salt, and the charter came out." If you satisfy me, then I will remember it for you first, and the next time you make a mistake, you will be punished for the crime. If I'm not satisfied, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, this was going to let him go. He already has an idea in his heart about the salt introduction, and he will definitely satisfy the emperor.

"You have to remember that I can give you a promotion, and I can also make you lose this black hat."

The emperor knew that Gu Chengyu was ambitious, but that did not prevent him from using Gu Chengyu. If he is unambitious, he can't look down on him, and most of such people are mediocre.

If someone like Gu Chengyu is used well, of course, he can save himself a lot of effort. But Gu Chengyu's talent is also a double-edged sword, I am afraid that my ambition will be too great in the future and I will not be able to take it back.

Therefore, he has to beat every other day, and Xia Qingna can't be too weak. often asked Gu Chengyu to endure some hardships and make some stumbling blocks, so that he could sit back and relax.

Of course, it's not now, after all, Gu Chengyu is fledgling, and he doesn't support himself, but he can't fight Xia Qing.

Gu Chengyu understood that this was the emperor's warning to him, and it seemed that his own careful thoughts, the emperor was clear in his heart. However, he is not afraid, anyway, he has not gotten close to any prince, and he is still a pure minister.

But he's been too high-profile lately, and it looks like he's going to have to stop for a while. Anyway, he was about to start compiling the canon, so he had better keep to himself.

Besides, in a few days, he will have to save his relatives, and it will take about two months to come and go. When I return to the capital, the limelight I had before must have been almost forgotten.

"Weichen thanks the emperor for his kindness, and he will do his best in the future to share the emperor's worries!"

The emperor nodded, believing that after this time, Gu Chengyu would weigh things again in the future.

"What do you think about the salt introduction?" The salt tax is the most important tax in this dynasty, and the emperor cannot afford to be unconcerned.

Seeing this, De'an wanted to stop talking, it was almost time for lunch, and if he continued to talk, he was afraid that the emperor's body would not be able to bear it. The emperor had a poor appetite for breakfast, and he didn't need to eat much.

However, he also knew the importance of the salt tax. Therefore, he didn't dare to interject, so he could only do it in a hurry.

"Your Majesty! Salt induction is similar to tea induction, and the process is roughly the same. However, Wechen has a few suggestions on how to get salt for salt merchants. ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately sat up.

"Oh? You said! ”

"Your Majesty, are all the grain and grass we send to the border gates sent by the imperial court?" Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked about the grain and grass at the border gate.

The emperor was a little puzzled, and he didn't know why Gu Chengyu asked about this. However, this asked about the emperor's heart disease.

"Naturally, it was sent by the imperial court! The state capital near the border pass is not rich in grain and grass, and the annual tax grain is not enough for forty percent of the soldiers' needs. It would inevitably have to rely on the imperial court to collect taxes and grain subsidies from other state capitals. ”

This is also a major headache for the emperor, not to mention the manpower consumed every year, the husbands and officials who escort the grain and grass also have to consume more than half of the grain and grass on the road.

Gu Chengyu nodded, this is still not a battle. Otherwise, the soldiers at the border will need more food and grass. Jiangnan is an important place for grain production, and if there is not enough grain and grass, you have to go to Jiangnan to buy or collect.

However, Jiangnan is far away from the border pass, and it is necessary to send a lot of people to escort the grain and grass to the border pass. On that road, you have to walk for at least two or three months, and those who escort them also have to eat and drink, and the loss is certainly not small.

"Your Majesty, what if you hand over the matter of escorting grain and grass to those salt merchants? Wouldn't our court be able to worry a lot? The loss does not need to be borne by the imperial court. ”

The emperor suddenly realized, yes! If the salt introduction is introduced, then the salt merchants are naturally willing to escort the grain and grass to the border in order to purchase the salt introduction.

"Tell me more!" Isn't this so simple, those salt chambers agree? He had to see what good way Gu Chengyu had it.

"Your Majesty! In the matter of escorting grain and grass, Weichen thought that those salt merchants could be completely voluntary, and only give some subsidies to the salt merchants who chose to escort. ”

This is what Gu Chengyu thought of last night, and he originally kept it and planned to talk about it later.

After all, he has now been promoted to an official, and if he says this, he will not get any real benefits.

However, if the emperor is not satisfied today, he will not be able to live a better life. Besides, he has other plans in mind now.

The emperor frowned when he heard this, and asked his own question, "Then how do you know if those salt merchants are willing to escort them?" If they refuse, what will happen to the court? ”

Gu Chengyu smiled, "Your Majesty, this is actually a saying. Salt lead can be divided into long lead and short lead, long lead outer lead, short lead main road. The long introduction can last up to one year, and the short introduction is only one season, and the salt merchant who buys the long introduction can escort the grain and grass to the border pass, and his salt can also be sold to the border pass. ”

"These salt merchants will not suffer, and if they are willing, they can be moderately relaxed in weight and money. There is a shortage of living materials at the border gates, but there are a lot of furs and medicinal materials, even if the mutual market is not opened, the materials in our Dayan territory alone are extremely rich. The salt merchants could also exchange or buy these goods and resell them to other state capitals. ”
