"Why can't it?"

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

Wu Mingkong was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "I know your intentions, and it is not difficult for craftsmen to develop a new process, sell it, or open a workshop, and make money every day.

It's just that in the eyes of the vast majority of scholars, compared to becoming an official in the court, having a lot of money is nothing."

That's a bit of a conservative remark.

In fact, as long as you are a scholar, you want to be able to pass the imperial examination and become an official.

The spring breeze is proud, and seeing all the Chang'an flowers in one day is not just talking.

Entering the court as an official means that from now on he will be a scholar, and he will no longer be of the same class as ordinary people, which cannot be bought with any amount of silver.

Even if you rely on new craftsmanship, make money every day, and have a lot of money, you are still just a craftsman.

How can it be compared to a scholar!

Fang Xiu also understood this truth, looked at the empress, and said leisurely:

"That's why the minister said before that if the great cadres want to develop, they must improve the status of farmers, craftsmen, and merchants!

Only by improving their status can the imperial court become rich and strong!

Of course, this process is not achieved overnight, and it takes a long time to change subtly.

In addition, the scholars are bent on the imperial examination, in addition to their status, there is another reason, the imperial court's supervision of hundreds of officials is too weak, and a Qing prefect's office, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, has almost become a consensus among the people.

Although the original intention of the vast majority of scholars is to benefit the people, there are always some people who think that after the imperial examination and the first, they can search for the people's fat and people's ointment.

If you are promoted, you have everything, and of course the scholar sharpens his head and drills into the court, but for the court, this is not a good thing."

Speaking of which, it came to an abrupt end.

There are many truths, Fang Xiu doesn't say it, and the little empress herself can understand it.

[Mood +5000]

An icy system prompt sounds.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes and saw the little empress frowning, deep in thought.

She did not fail to think about improving the status of farmers, craftsmen and merchants.

After Fang Xiu talked to her last time, she had thought about these questions.

After thinking about it for a long time, I came to a conclusion.

The change in the system will bring about the development of technology and make the cadres richer and stronger, but at the same time, it may also cause great turmoil.

Hundreds of officials perform their duties, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, of course, is the best result.

But it is undeniable that after the development of technology, there will be some people who are idle.

For example, the advent of white sugar has caused a group of people who make caramel to lose their livelihoods.

There are not many such people, and they will soon find new jobs.

But large-scale development will lead to the loss of a large number of people who rely on their livelihoods.

For this part of the people, if the imperial court does not deal with it well, it will cause turmoil.

And that's the last thing she wants.

Fang Xiu looked at the little empress with a complicated expression, probably guessed her thoughts, thought about it, stepped forward, held her shoulder, looked at her with a serious face, and said softly:

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, and so is change, and it is human nature that Your Majesty has concerns."

When Wu Mingkong heard this, he was slightly stunned, looking at Fang Xiu's bright eyes, a restless heart, inexplicably calmed down.

Fang Xiu looked at her and continued:

"Poverty leads to change, change leads to change, and general rule is long, it has been the case since ancient times, Your Majesty is worried that change will bring turmoil, but it will not change, and over time, it will also bring turmoil."

"Change is not a flood, the key is how to grasp the scale."

Wu Mingkong was silent for a long time, pouted, and said, "You are the head of the hundred officials, how to change, you have the final say, if it really causes turmoil, I will push you out and calm the people's anger."

Fang Xiu chuckled, stretched out his hand to take her in his arms, and said softly, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, Your Majesty will be reluctant to be a minister."

Wu Mingkong pressed his little head to his chest, listened to his powerful heartbeat, and hummed, "It's strange if I'm reluctant, I can't wait to push you out."

Lin Wan'er, who was behind her, heard this, and said in her heart, if there is such a day, Your Majesty is afraid that he would rather take the responsibility himself than let Fang Xiang face it alone.

"That's right."

Fang Xiu hugged the empress, suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "The gambling contract just now, Your Majesty lost, according to the gambling contract, Your Majesty has to promise the minister three conditions."

When Wu Mingkong heard this, he was a little unconvinced, and said angrily, "You did that in advance......

"Experiment."

"Yes, experiment! You did the experiment in advance, you already knew the results, and you bet me on it, it's clear that you're deceiving me!"

Wu Mingkong's watery eyes glared at Fang Xiu with a look of displeasure.

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and replied, "The minister has obviously told His Majesty the truth, but His Majesty didn't believe it, so he agreed to bet with the minister."

「......」

When the little empress heard this, it seemed that this was the case, her pretty face was slightly red, and she fell silent.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Your Majesty is the treasure of the minister's heart, and it is too late for the minister to feel distressed, and he will not be strong."

Fang Xiu hugged the little empress, with a smile between his eyebrows, and whispered comfortingly.

Sounds like such a sensual thing.

Wu Mingkong felt that his goosebumps were about to rise, and at the same time, his heart was alert.

The more you say that, the worse it is!

It's just that she knew that she was wrong, and she didn't cheat, she just snorted, "I don't dare to forgive you."

After a pause, he put on a breezy appearance again, and wrote lightly: "Say, what conditions."

Fang Xiu saw that the little empress was so obedient, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "The first condition, no matter what the minister does in the future, His Majesty will have to forgive the minister......

Wu Mingkong was slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look at Fang Xiu, a look of annoyance appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Fang Xiu! How dare you do something that is sorry for me!"

After speaking, before Fang Xiu could react, he twisted his body, trying to struggle out of Fang Xiu's arms.

"Female cadre thief! Let go of me!"

At this time, of course, Fang Xiu couldn't choose to let go, and said busily: "Your Majesty, don't spew blood, when did the minister do something sorry for Your Majesty!"

Wu Mingkong's eyes widened, staring at Fang Xiu, his silver teeth clenched, and he said angrily, "If you didn't do something sorry for me, why did you put forward such a condition!"

「......」

Fang Xiu didn't know how to refute for a while.

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong was even more annoyed, his pretty face turned red, but his strength was small, he couldn't struggle, he looked at Lin Wan'er on the side, and ordered, "Wan'er! Whip him!"

「？」

Lin Wan'er, who was watching the excitement, obviously didn't expect that the war between the two would burn on herself.

was stunned for a moment, then showed embarrassment, and hesitated, "Your Majesty, do you really want to be like this?"

said this, but what I thought in my heart was: If you really whip Xiangye, it will not be Your Majesty who will be distressed at that time.

"You're not his maid yet!"

Wu Mingkong looked at Lin Wan'er, he was very angry, and he said angrily.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er immediately realized that His Majesty was not playing with Xiangye, but was really angry.

Her heart jumped, and she hurriedly picked up the whip on the table and sent it to the empress.

"Your Majesty, the slave is wrong, give you a whip!"

The little empress reached for the whip.

Fang Xiu was quick and picked her up.

"Damn female thief! Let me go!"

The little empress's feet were in the air, and her slender and straight jade legs kicked wildly.

Fang Xiu was a little helpless, so he could only coax and say, "The minister said this, but he was just worried that one day in the future, the change would touch the interests of the royal family, and the minister had to take action against the royal family for the sake of the court and the people, so that His Majesty would not be able to do so

Joy!"

The voice fell.

Wu Mingkong's mood eased a little, he took a few breaths, and said angrily, "Let me go."

"Don't dare."

"Why don't you dare!"

"The minister is afraid that His Majesty will whip the minister......

「......」

Wu Mingkong was silent for a while, and said angrily: "Let me go, I won't make trouble."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu put the delicate little empress on the ground.

After the little empress stood firm, a pair of clear peach blossom eyes looked at Fang Xiu, and said with a straight face: "The royal family you are talking about, does it include me?"

Fang Xiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the little empress ask again:

"If one day, I become a faint monarch who is even worse than Emperor Zhou, will you do something to me?"

"I believe that there will not be such a day."

"If there is!"

Wu Mingkong's eyes stared at Fang Xiu without blinking, his expression serious.

As the emperor of Daqian, her mind is far better than that of women of the same age.

She also knew that her problem was vexatious, and there was no proper answer at all.

But for some reason, at this moment, she just wants to be willful once.

Fang Xiu looked at the little empress with a serious face and firm eyes, knowing that this time he couldn't use some ambiguous words to fool him through.

He sighed leisurely, his expression a little stunned.

"The minister feels like a failure......

Wu Mingkong's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

"Since His Majesty's birthday, it has been more than half a year now, and the minister has not let His Majesty see the minister's mind clearly......

Fang Xiu raised his eyes to look at her, his expression also became extremely serious, and he said word by word:

"In the hearts of the ministers, His Majesty always comes first, and the rivers and beauties are far less important than Your Majesty!

As long as Your Majesty does not change his mind, even if His Majesty becomes as eager for quick success as Emperor Zhou, or even inferior to Emperor Zhou, and becomes a complete faint monarch, the ministers will do their best to assist His Majesty, support the building to the general, and turn the tide in the fall......

[Mood +10000]

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu's bright eyes, and his heart was unprecedentedly peaceful.

She knew that Fang Xiu hadn't lied to herself.

"If there is a day, I will allow you to take my place."

Wu Mingkong looked at the handsome face in front of him, and such a thought came out of nowhere.

I wanted to speak, but I felt a little ridiculous.

Something that is obviously impossible, but it is necessary to assume a situation and then come up with an answer.

What's the difference between this and a child's quarrel?

That's it.

A flush appeared on her pretty face, she looked at Fang Xiu, and changed the subject, "The first condition, I promised you, what else?"

In fact, the first condition that Fang Xiu mentioned did not have any meaning.

If one day in the future, he really broke the little empress's heart, even if she chooses to forgive herself, the two will not be able to go back to the past.

When he said this, he just prepared the little empress mentally in advance.

If the imperial court wants to change, it will definitely touch the interests of the emperor.

At that time, Fang Xiu would not necessarily be like this, standing by her side all the time and taking care of her feelings.

"Second Condition......

Fang Xiu heard this question and fell into deep thought.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't even think of it.

On major issues of right and wrong, his little empress was often able to reach an agreement.

If there is no agreement, it is not a bet that can be changed.

Except for the big question of right and wrong, he doesn't seem to have anything to ask for from the little empress.

After all.

He is the prime minister of the Great Qian, referring to the powerful minister who is a deer and a horse.

Nothing is

He couldn't get it.

Even the little empress belongs to him.

After thinking about it, it seems that he can only make some requests in terms of the two of them being alone.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu's eyes lit up, and he opened the system mall and searched for some clothes he liked in the past.

After a few moments, find a nice set of JK uniforms, as well as matching white ***.

After spending 100 emotion points.

looked at the little empress, a smile appeared between her eyebrows, and said, "The minister has a good set of clothes, please change them at night."

Wu Mingkong always felt that Fang Xiu's eyes were familiar.

At the beginning, he coaxed himself to put on black silk, and it was this kind of expression, cheap, and very bad.

"What strange clothes do you want me to wear?"

Wu Mingkong glared at Fang Xiu and asked angrily.

Fang Xiu said, "When the time comes, Your Majesty will know."

「......」

Unexpectedly...... There is no denial......

A flush appeared on Wu Mingkong's pretty face, and he was a little annoyed in his heart.

This damn female thief really thinks I am a dusty woman!

Even if it's a dusty woman, you can't let him fiddle with it!

It was black silk before, and then it was a dragon robe, and this time I don't know what kind of mess it is.

"That's it, whoever let me lose to him, let him mess around once, only this time, next time let me change into strange clothes, I won't agree to anything!"

Thinking so, the little empress trembled with her long eyelashes, blushed, and asked pretendly, "The third?"

Fang Xiu said: "The minister hasn't thought about it yet, wait until the minister thinks about it."

Wu Mingkong hurriedly said, "No, let's say it now, I won't wait for the expiration date!"

Fang Xiu really couldn't think of it for a while, so he could only say, "The minister still has a set of clothes there, wait for the next time to change it for His Majesty......

Wu Mingkong was slightly stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said angrily, "Where did you get so many clothes?"

Fang Xiu didn't answer.

The little empress was silent for a long time, gritted her teeth, and told herself secretly.

Last two times!

After two times, I will never agree to change into strange clothes!

"I promise you."

Got a positive answer.

Fang Xiu's eyebrows flashed with joy, looking like a successful fox, he opened the system again and searched in a pile of uniforms.

Seeing his expression, Wu Mingkong felt angry, kicked him gently, and said angrily, "Don't get out yet!"

Fang Xiu smiled, "It's not night yet, don't worry."

Who told you to go back and get your clothes!

Wu Mingkong was stunned at first, and then a little speechless.

This time.

The voice of the palace maid came from outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Zizheng, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is asking to see you!"
