Chapter Ninety-Five: The Emperor's Attitude
In the Fengtian Palace, the ministers were shocked.
It's just because of Fang Jue's scolding.
"Why does the young master hurt people by exporting!" He Louqian eased up and pointed at Fang Jue angrily.
Fang Jue simply turned around, so as to watch him scold:
"As a household servant, it is a good thing for you to devote yourself to collecting taxes for the treasury, but after all, you must remember the hardships of the people in the world."
"You want to collect seventy or eighty percent of the grain tax, do you want the people to be able to wrap up their stomachs forever, and they don't even have extra money and food, so that they can look like an official like you!?"
These words not only scolded He Louqian, but also asked the officials in the entire court.
The crowd groaned, reflecting in their hearts whether they had ever had such thoughts.
Many people suddenly looked ashamed.
Indeed, in the eyes of many, it was a great gift for the people to feed them.
I didn't think at all about making the people rich.
"The young master is too naΓ―ve!" He Louqian suddenly shouted.
He felt that he was in possession:
"If the people have too much surplus food every year, some people will sit and eat empty mountains and will not work hard...... That will affect the tax revenue of the whole country, and what if there is no food to collect at that time? β
As soon as these words came out, Fang Jue glanced at everyone and also glanced at the emperor.
Someone was actually nodding, thinking that He Louqian was reasonable.
Longyi Mountain, Xiao Pingsi felt that He Louqian's concern was reasonable, but it didn't seem to be reasonable.
Will the common people not do anything about production, plant for a year and play for a few years, sit and eat?
Zhuge Qingshan, Yan Lanfeng and other officials who came up from the bottom suddenly shook their heads, feeling ridiculous.
"He Shilang doesn't understand the people at all, such a statement, I'm afraid that he is treating others with himself, right?" Zhuge Qingshan said lightly.
Plant 18,000 catties a year, and then plant again when there is no food...... It's ridiculous, but anyone with a little brain wouldn't do it.
If you want to use a special case as a reason to oppress the entire bottom people, you don't want to pick a better one.
Such lazy people naturally have, but they are also spurned, and the mainstream will never worship laziness and presumptuous willfulness.
"Lord Shoufu is reasonable, He Shilang is really thinking too much about this."
Fang Jue said: "Are you worried that the people will not be willing to be exploited if they have surplus food and confidence in their hearts?" β
The front of the building is blue and white.
The emperor is also a little weird.
There are some things that everyone knows and don't have to say.
For the imperial court, for the upper nobles, the meaning of the existence of the common people is to pay taxes.
From the point of view of interests, this is the case, since ancient times.
It's too hard to want them to have a conscience, and it's good not to want to crush you.
"He Shilang's words, can I understand that you think the meaning of the people's existence is to pay grain."
It's silent.
These words were said by Fang Jue, which made everyone feel embarrassed and at the same time incredible.
He actually dared to say it directly, how dare he?
"The young master is too radical, I thought the squire didn't mean it." Yan Lanfeng finally spoke, in the end, it was someone from his household, and he had to maintain it to some extent.
The atmosphere was eased slightly.
Fang Jue didn't intend to let go of He Louqian, and said, "He Shilang's words, I have to understand it like this. He doesn't want the people to live a better life, he only cares about the income of the household treasury and his own future, such a person has been separated from the people, and Yu Sheji has no benefit. β
"Hiss......"
He Louqian felt bad, he realized that Fang Jue was not trying to show his innocence, but was really angry.
"The young master of the prince and the superintendent of the Musket Bureau, Fang Jue, Gu Ben impeached the head of the household department, He Louqian...... He is in the household department, and he does not think about the good policies of the people, but painstakingly creates contradictions, so that the court and the people are separated, and the ministers think that they should be strictly investigated, so as not to be a spy of other countries to divide my Great Xia! β
Of course, Fang Jue knew that He Louqian was most likely not a spy agent, but if he said this, it was amazing enough.
He had to show an attitude.
If the emperor didn't support it, or if he made peace with the mud, then Fang Jue had no choice but to leave the Great Xia Kingdom.
A court that does not have the status of the people in its heart is not worthy of its own service.
Quiet.
After Fang Jue finished speaking, in the Fengtian Palace, he could only hear everyone's breathing.
Then there was a sudden shout, and He Louqian said angrily: "Fang Jue! How wicked and deceitful you are! β
Actually said that people are spies and deliberately came to discord?
Is there anything more vicious than that?
"Ahem......" Yan Lanfeng coughed, "The young master is too excited, even if He Shilang thinks about it for a while, he will not be a spy from another country." β
"I think it's worth investigating in detail, He Louqian is full of words for the court, but there are no people in his heart...... Such people will only shout why not eat minced meat, and they will only do bad things when they are officials in the court. "Yushitai Qin Shiyi came out of the class.
He has always been the most fast-talking, and he can't get used to scolding anyone on the spot, and he never sleeps overnight.
"The minister thinks that He Louqian is no longer suitable for the position of the household servant, he does not care about the people so much, and let him do things for fear that it will really separate the court and ......the people," Shangguan Ding, the secretary of the ministry, said lightly.
Someone was impeached, and he was still a person that everyone didn't like very much.
Then the wall will fall and everyone will push it.
The key is not to deliver justice, but to vacate a key position that can put one's own people on top.
This is the court.
Fang Jue could naturally see what these people were planning, but he also let them borrow the wind.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although the young master is excessive, what he said is not unreasonable......"
Zhuge Qingshan concluded: "Since He Shilang became an official, there has always been a lot of gossip, saying that he only knows about his political achievements and does not care about the livelihood of the people under his rule...... The minister thought it was just a rumor attacking him, but now it seems that it is true. β
"Lord Shoufu......" He Louqian glared, he couldn't believe it, so many people just nodded in agreement with their opinions, but they were instantly attacked by everyone.
On the dragon chair, Xiao Ping's silicon face was solemn.
This is the first time that the young master has gone to the court, and he pointed directly at He Lou, such officials who only think about political achievements and do not think about the people, are undoubtedly showing an attitude.
The Emperor said slowly:
"He Shilang retired to introspect and wrote a letter of guilt, you should care, Jiangshan Sheji is closely concerned with the people, and it is inseparable."
"Retreat."
β¦β¦
Impeachment is just a means, Fang Jue doesn't expect to really scold a squire in a word.
What he wants is the emperor's attitude, whether to tolerate or punish people like He Louqian.
The emperor's small punishment and big commandment, both grace and power, are also decent, and it also gives Fang Jue face, but it will not chill the hearts of other ministers.
It's just that the ministers took advantage of this to know better the status of the prince and young master in the emperor's heart.
With a single sentence from the young master, he asked a minister of the third grade to write a letter of guilt, which had never happened before. Although he did not cut the official position in front of He Lou, this face was solid.
After the dispersal of the court, Fang Jue left leisurely and did not flow with the ministers.
An old minister hurried over and arched his hand: "What the young master said today is too straightforward. β
"Above the court, it is common for political opinions to differ, and if anyone disagrees with the young master, they must write a letter of guilt...... In the future, will this court be the hall of the young master's words? β
Fang Jue slowed down, knowing that this old minister was not targeting him.
"Don't worry, my lord, Fang will not become a minister, today is just to say a word for the people, and the faces of the adults don't seem to look good...... Do you think it's hard to squeeze in the future? β
"Young Master, the old man thinks that he is official, not a person like He Louqian who only cares about the future...... But what you say today is so amazing that there are some things that you can't say. β
Fang Jue said lightly: "Boss...... These rules of officialdom have long been outdated and rotten, and it is time to change them. β
"In addition to insulting His Majesty's royal family, as well as rebelling and rebelling, Fang Mou doesn't think there is anything inappropriate to say."
"In the future, if you meet people like He Louqian, you will be impeached."
"Farewell ......"
"Young Master, Young Master?" The old man shook his head, "The young man is arrogant. β
Zhuge Qingshan walked slowly, helped the old man, and said with a smile: "This is called young people's enthusiasm, dedicated to the country, and the people's security is the country's security, and the young master understands how to stabilize the country." β
The old man sighed.
"It's not that the old man doesn't understand, then He Louqian is ugly, but the worries hidden in it are not unreasonable."
According to the young master's words, he wants to make the people rich...... But when the people are rich, can they still be trapped in the fields with peace of mind and maintain the quality of hard work? β
Zhuge Qingshan let go of the old man and said coldly: "This pavilion is also from the people, the old man must know that hard work is not a good quality, but because the people are too poor to choose." β
If you want the people to work hard all the time, this is no different from wanting them to be poor all the time.
That's hooliganism.
