The post house is an idle job, and it is not in the establishment, but Li Xingchen understands that there are many minions of the major families.

In order to avoid the situation of bullying and oppression, it is important to instruct local officials to take care of them.

Similarly, if the post manager of the original post wants to take the opportunity to squeeze out the examiner, he can also take advantage of the situation to eradicate some of the family's minions.

"Your Majesty rest assured, the ministers will discuss in detail with the official department Shangshu, and will never disappoint Your Majesty."

The prime minister knew what Li Xingchen wanted to express.

It is nothing more than to supervise the original post house personnel at the same time as the examination enters the post management, and once they have illegal behavior, they can be investigated and pulled down.

Li Xingchen smiled with satisfaction, "Just ask the secretary of the Criminal Department to discuss." ”

Because Zhao Liang was unable to enter the court as an official for the next three generations, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department turned gray almost overnight, and hatred also sprouted.

Of course, this hatred is not aimed at Li Xingchen, but at the major families and the hereditary imperial court!

His children can't be officials anymore, so why let you continue to be hereditary?

He must share the same hatred and hatred with Li Xingchen, stand on the same front, and let the people enter the court as officials to replace the hereditary, so that his heart can feel better.

Perhaps with this credit, Li Xingchen was spared the punishment of Zhao Liang's descendants for not being able to take the scientific examination as an official for three generations.

So for this matter, Li Xingchen's most reassuring person is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

The Criminal Department controls the law, and as long as the Criminal Department wants to investigate thoroughly, it will definitely not be able to escape.

After dealing with this matter, Li Xingchen went to Dugu Lingna.

Seeing him coming, Dugu Ling hurriedly put down the military book in his hand and got up to greet him, "The concubine pays a visit to Your Majesty." ”

"Hurry up and excuse me." Li Xingchen hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Didn't I say it, you don't need to do anything during pregnancy, just do what you have to do." ”

Li Xingchen pulled her to the bed and sat down, touching her slightly bulging belly, "I don't know if it's a prince or a princess." ”

"Your Majesty, seeing that you love moonlight so much, the concubine shouldn't be patriarchal, right?"

Li Xingchen smiled, "Do you think I am the kind of person who values sons over women?" Whether it is a son or a daughter, they are all born to me, and I treat them equally. ”

Du Ling put his mind at ease.

After all, Xingchen already has a daughter, if she gives birth to another daughter, it is inevitable that she will feel tired, the joy of being a father for the first time has already passed, and the birth of the second daughter will not cause much emotional impact.

If you have a son, the situation will be very different.

This is also the reason why Dugu Ling knocked on the side and asked Li Xingchen if he was patriarchal.

However, Li Xingchen's words dispelled her doubts, it was good not to be patriarchal, and she couldn't control it when she gave birth to a boy or a girl.

Everyone rejoiced in the birth of a son.

If you can't attract Li Xingchen's love, it will be troublesome.

Dugu Ling rarely showed the posture of a little daughter, threw herself into Li Xingchen's arms, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the concubine will give you many, many children in the future, with sons and daughters." ”

After speaking, he deliberately licked Li Xingchen's ear.

Li Xingchen's heartbeat stopped.

"Do you know, if you weren't pregnant, I would have made you unable to get out of bed tomorrow."

Li Xingchen's eyes burned with desire, and Dugu made her face red.

"But since marrying me, your personality has changed a lot, you used to be a big swagger with a spear, and you didn't have any thoughts about your little daughter's family, but now you still know how to tease me."

As he spoke, Li Xingchen pinched her chest.

Dugu's face became redder and redder, and it was vivid.

Li Xingchen's Adam's apple agitated up and down, and his heart was itchy, but considering that the other party was pregnant, he was stunned.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go to your sister's place tonight?" Dugu Ling suggested.

"Yesterday I was with her, and I agreed with you for one person and one night. Besides, can't I hold you for a good night's sleep? You have to do something like that! Li Xingchen said against his will.

Seeing him suppress himself, Dugu Ling felt distressed, suddenly got up, and pushed him down on the bed.

"Then the concubine will serve Your Majesty in a different way."

...

The next day, the morning pilgrimage.

After discussing the important matters, the ministers waited for the great eunuch's voice of "retreat." ”

However, Li Xingchen said coldly, "There is something I want to hear your thoughts. ”

The ministers of the three provinces and six ministries were interested.

Li Xingchen will still ask them what they think? Are you going to make a moth again?

Thinking of Li Xingchen's layers of moths, their heartstrings suddenly tightened, and everything they did was directly from the family.

"I want to ask you, is the lowest in the city's agriculture and industry and commerce? You are free to speak your mind according to your own ideas, and do not have any scruples.

I don't blame you, I just want to hear what you think about business. ”

At that time, when receiving envoys in Changming Temple, the Guava mission opened its mouth and closed its mouth to the lowly merchants, which is enough to prove that the Shang has a low status in any country since ancient times.

Hearing this, there was an uproar.

This is the first time Your Majesty has said that you should not have any scruples, and I will not blame you for such words.

Again, this is strange.

Looks like it's going to be a big move?

For a while, everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to come out first to say their thoughts, even if they had ideas about Shang's personal opinions, opinions, and attitudes.

Li Xingchen didn't urge them, and half-lay on the dragon chair, wanting to make a relaxed and happy appearance, so that the ministers should not be afraid.

After thinking for a moment, the prime minister took the lead and came out, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no noble or inferior person. ”

"Tell me about it." Li Xingchen squinted at him.

"People are not noble or low, but they are divided into three, six, nine and so on, which is the inevitable formation of people under various hierarchical systems. As for the merchants, they should be the lowest. ”

A hint of displeasure flashed in Li Xingchen's eyes.

"First, businessmen have no bottom line, everything is based on interests, even if they go to and from various countries to do small business, it is also the deception, this deception, the pursuit of their own interests is to maximize their own interests.

Leave nothing else. Businessmen have an essentially inferior nature, they pursue interests too much, they can't afford to be early if they are not profitable, they do what is advantageous, they stand by and watch when they are not profitable, and even calculate all day long to seek the maximum benefit with the least effort.

Second, the merchants are cunning and cunning, and if they are not careful, they will fall into their way. There is no standard for life and work, which lowers the overall quality of people's customs.

Therefore, the minister believed that the merchant was the last class in the three, six, and nine ranks. ”

Li Xingchen nodded, did not speak, and motioned for the prime minister to return to his position.

The prime minister took the lead, and other ministers gradually came out to express their opinions.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of Chenjue is right. It is shameful that businessmen do not produce, but seek huge profits through treachery and price differences. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that without merchants, trade between the regions would not be able to communicate with each other, and it would not have been possible to develop into the present scene."

"The Great Wei Dynasty is now rich and strong, relying on His Majesty's wise rule, what does it have to do with the untouchable merchants?"

"As an official of the imperial court, please pay attention to the use of civilized words."
