Li Xingchen only knew that the prime minister had handed over all the power of the newspaper to his assistant.

Qian Mingyue motioned to the subordinates who had just been told to prepare pastries and tea.

The meeting room had just ended, and although there was a lot of food, it had been eaten more or less by others, and it could not be eaten by the emperor.

After the subordinates retreated, the prime minister smiled and said, "Mingyue, you are getting more and more imposing!" ”

"Thank you Prime Minister and Your Majesty for your cultivation." Qian Mingyue said respectfully.

Li Xingchen was stunned, what does it have to do with him?

coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I don't dare to claim credit for myself, thanks to the cultivation of the prime minister." ”

The prime minister hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty's words are wrong, if it weren't for your discernment, how could the old minister get this right-hand man, it's all Your Majesty's credit, Your Majesty's credit." ”

The prime minister said flattery, Li Xingchen was even more confused, what does it have to do with him?

"Has Your Majesty forgotten me?" Qian Mingyue's heart overflowed with a trace of sadness.

She has been thinking about the person she has been thinking about for so long, but the other party doesn't remember her.

"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, busy with affairs, and forgets to be normal."

The prime minister saw that Li Xingchen had no impression of Qian Mingyue, and hurriedly started a round.

"Who is she?" Forgetting is forgetting, Li Xingchen doesn't think there is anything here.

"Your Majesty remembers the little beggar of that day? That's her! The prime minister said.

Li Xingchen searched around in his memory, suddenly realized, and immediately looked at Qian Mingyue.

At that time, he saw her a woman begging on the street, strange and pitiful, afraid of being violated by lawbreakers, so she arranged to work in the newspaper after a full meal.

I didn't expect that this person would become the prime minister's right-hand man now.

"Sit and sit, don't be so restrained, be casual." Li Xingchen laughed.

However, Li Xingchen's aura was too strong, even if he didn't deliberately release Long Wei, as long as he was there, Qian Mingyue didn't dare to sit with him at all.

"Sit, why are you still stunned?" The prime minister sat beside Li Xingchen and looked at Qian Mingyue suspiciously.

"It's not like the usual vigorous and resolute personality at all, what are you doing with twists and turns."

Qian Mingyue stiffened, stabilized her slightly trembling body, and found a position not far from Li Xingchen to sit down.

Sitting far away is afraid that Li Xingchen will feel that he is estranged, and he is really embarrassed to sit close to her.

"Has the newspaper been encountering a problem that it can't solve lately?"

Li Xingchen did not rush to tell the purpose of this trip, but asked Qian Mingyue like a friend, because he saw that the other party was anxious and uneasy, and wanted to appease him first.

"It's good, it's just that the two decrees issued by His Majesty make me feel a little stressed." After thinking for a while, Qian Mingyue replied truthfully.

In the past, there was no problem at all, but after the decree was issued, countless people will start their own businesses, and the landscape will change dramatically, and the pressure of competition will follow.

"What do you think of my two decisions? Tell us what you think. Li Xingchen asked with a smile.

discussed with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, in addition to playing officialdom, they stood in the position of officials. However, Qian Mingyue is different, listening to ideas from her mouth is the most valuable reference.

"I think the overall level of the economy can be improved, but it is better not to engage in business as an official.

If officials hold heavy power in their hands, if they go to business, they will definitely use the power in their hands to seek benefits, which is unfair to ordinary people, and the phenomenon formed is that officials are full of money, and ordinary people have nothing to lose. ”

Qian Mingyue peeked at Li Xingchen as she spoke.

She didn't know if Li Xingchen would want to hear these words, but this was what she really thought in her heart, if Li Xingchen showed displeasure, she wouldn't say anything for a while.

Li Xingchen nodded, "What you said is right, this can indeed be added to the rules."

I think that not only officials cannot do business, but also people who are related to officials cannot do business, what do you think? ”

Li Xingchen had this idea from the beginning, but he didn't say it in the court, because this rule was too strict, and he was afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction among officials.

Those who are officials can't do business, and they can't reluctantly say the past, but they don't let their families engage in business, which is a joint sitting, which is bound to cause a commotion.

Qian Mingyue shook her head and said: "There are still loopholes in this, even if officials can't engage in business, as long as they have ideas, they can secretly entrust other people in business." The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high.

There is no need to sit with relatives and friends because of being an official. ”

"I'll think about it." Li Xingchen smiled, he didn't expect the other party to be able to point to the core at once.

This is the main reason why he did not include this decree at that time.

In the experience of later generations, if anyone is an official, his family members cannot engage in business, because it is for the sake of power to influence the issue and prevent officials from abusing their power to open the back door for their relatives.

But now it is the Great Wei, and the situation is fundamentally different from that of later generations.

In this era, there are not only fewer people, fewer readers, but also very few talented people, unlike the overpopulation of the future, and a large number of doctors and masters.

If you want to put an end to the business of officials' relatives like later generations, you must at least develop the population of the Great Wei Dynasty and accumulate it to a certain extent.

"Your Majesty is wise." Qian Mingyue smiled.

Your Majesty is indeed a Ming monarch, and he will not be unhappy because of his loyalty.

In fact, she said her true thoughts, and she didn't expect Li Xingchen to listen to it.

As a result, Li Xingchen quite agreed with her idea, which flattered her.

"I'm here this time because I have something to hand over to you."

Li Xingchen got down to business.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Qian Mingyue had a straight face.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I can't rest assured until I'm leaving it to you.

After all, the prime minister whispers in my ear every day, how smart and capable you are, how outstanding you are, my ears are going to be calloused, so don't let me down. ”

Suddenly, Qian Mingyue felt that she had a heavy responsibility.

I listened attentively, and I didn't dare to omit a word that Li Xingchen said.

"With the release of the new policy, there will definitely be an endless stream of people in Dawei to participate in the imperial examination, and there will also be more people doing business.

However, there are risks in doing business, failure is the majority, and success is in the minority.

When starting a business is in a bottleneck, it is inevitable that they will borrow money from the bank to continue to invest. ”

Li Xingchen spoke slowly.

You must know that with Wang Yuanli's continuous efforts, the Royal Money Bank is now huge in scale and diversified in business, of which lending is one of them.

"Then Your Majesty means, borrow? Or don't borrow? ”

"It's you, will you borrow it?" Li Xingchen asked rhetorically.

"I don't borrow it." Qian Mingyue immediately shook her head.

Yes, lend the money, and the business can be repaid if it is successful. The business fails, so what do they have to pay back?

In the end, the money was not paid, and the court had to bear it in the end.

When the debts accumulate to a certain extent, there will be problems with the imperial court's finances.

Moreover, it is the people who borrow the money, and if the people can't afford to lose money in business, it is impossible for the court to arrest them and sentence them.

At that time, one debt after another will be pressed on the imperial court, which will be a great burden on the imperial court.
