[Liu Yuanqi: Your Majesty, to be honest, for Scholar Zhou, sometimes, the ministers can't see through him...... He is a very strange, very contradictory, very complicated person, he has the talent of the world, he has a good plan, after becoming a cabinet scholar, over the years, the implementation of the law, the government, have been very good. 】

[Liu Yuanqi: But at the same time...... He didn't seem so clean, he could have gotten to where he was in another way, but he had chosen a less glorious path...... Therefore, the minister felt that he might not have seen through him......]

[You: Then why do you think that your relationship with him is a relationship between a bosom friend and a confidant? 】

[Liu Yuanqi: Although the minister can't see through Scholar Zhou, the minister can feel his loyalty to the court and His Majesty. 】

"Loyalty?"

"I don't think so!"

Empress Liang Zhao scoffed at Liu Yuanqi's words.

In her impression, Zhou Zhenwen is a courtier and a powerful minister who is disobedient to discipline and unscrupulous.

His ability is really strong.

Empress Liang Zhao admitted that whether it was the art of war formation, or martial arts cultivation, or Confucianism, he was very good at it, and even he could do business, and many of the methods he spent did help fill the treasury of the Great Wilderness a lot.

Empress Liang Zhao even felt that Zhou Zhenwen was not suitable to be a courtier, he was suitable for business, and with his ability, he could definitely become the first businessman in the Great Wilderness.

It's a genius.

Again, this is a traitor with a lot of means.

[Liu Yuanqi: Your Majesty, maybe you think that Scholar Zhou is not so obedient, and in many things, he is always against you, the court, and the Queen Mother, but in fact, Your Majesty, think about it, what he did one thing that damaged the interests of the court? Is there one thing that makes the royal majesty absent? 】

[You frowned, and said coldly: But he is greedy for good land! Forming a party for personal gain! A lot of things are enough to cut off his head! 】

[Liu Yuanqi: Your Majesty, the minister has investigated, the fertile land he greedy for ink first belonged to the major nobles and royal clansmen, and these fertile fields were forcibly taken from the people. The minister did not deny his actions, but to some extent, he saved the people, and it was he who gave the people land to plant and food to eat. 】

[You: If you say so, I still have to thank him?] 】

[Liu Yuanqi: The minister doesn't dare! 】

[You wave your hand and command: Go on.] 】

[Liu Yuanqi: Yes, Your Majesty, if you want to get to his position, it is inevitable to form a party for personal gain and take bribes, you also know that the court gives too little money, and the court ministers are all dragging their families with their families, and many court ministers will starve to death on the streets if they are not greedy for some money and food. 】

[Your face is a little unpleasant: In that case, why have no ministers ever reported these things? 】

[Liu Yuanqi: In the time of the first emperor, there were ministers who reflected, but they were rejected by the first emperor, the first emperor said that the people were poor, and the officials should be exemplary and should not be greedy for enjoyment, and since then, no official dares to mention this matter. In fact, the price of the imperial court has not risen for 50 years, and the prices in the capital have risen again and again, and many officials live in the main urban area, with a large number of people at home, and there is no other livelihood, and it is impossible for the female dependents of the court ministers to go to the street to sell, so naturally they are even more poor. 】

[You: So, you are also greedy? 】

[Liu Yuanqi shook his head: Your Majesty, the minister has not been corrupt, but the minister has participated in shares and invested some assets, which is also the choice of many officials in the court today. 】

[You: Shareholding? Investment property? What does that mean? 】

[Liu Yuanqi: Back to Your Majesty, Scholar Zhou is a business wizard, he understands the truth that strange goods can live, glass beads, glass bottles, perfumes, lipsticks, ice cream and other novelty objects in the capital are all from his handwriting, Scholar Zhou knows that the life of hundreds of officials is difficult, so he proposed to let hundreds of officials invest in his business, according to the proportion of investment dividends, the so-called shareholding, is this meaning. 】

[Liu Yuanqi: Shareholders can be divided into certain shares according to the proportion of investment, and they can get dividends every month according to the shares. 】

[You: How high is the profit? 】

[You were also taken aback by the huge profits of Zhou Zhenwen's business, if you invest a hundred taels of silver, you can divide ten taels in a month, isn't this ten months to pay off? How can there be such a business in this world? Isn't this giving money away for nothing? 】

[Liu Yuanqi: Your Majesty, this is true, the objects in the hands of Scholar Zhou are all sought-after items, and they are liked by many ladies and rich children, and these incomes are considered small. 】

[You: Even so, why is he corrupt? 】

[Liu Yuanqi fell into silence, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: Your Majesty, before being transferred to the capital, the minister had served in Youzhou, Youzhou was poor, and many officials were even inferior to some landlords, if they wanted to survive, they could only cooperate with local wealthy families, divide the imperial court and allocate some funds, blackmail local people, and increase excessive taxes and ......]

[Liu Yuanqi: At that time, the minister encountered an incident, back then, the minister was just a county order, when the supervision of the imperial history came to Youzhou for inspection, officials from all over the country were flattered, and continued to send benefits, only the minister did not send a penny, the history of Youzhou at that time, because of this matter, found the minister, and asked the reason. 】

[You: What do you say?] 】

[Liu Yuanqi: That scene, the minister still remembers. 】

The picture of the simulator gradually spread a faint white fog, and under the change of stars, the picture came to a small county town in Youzhou.

[Youzhou Thorn History: Young Gong (Liu Yuanqi's words), what's going on with you? Why do you turn a blind eye to Lord Chincha? 】

[Young Liu Yuanqi: Lord Wang, the people of Yuanqu County are too bitter, and they don't have any money to make offerings at all......]

[History of Youzhou Thorn: Didn't the imperial court have a sum of money to let you improve the county seat and establish the Heroic Soul Hall? 】

[Young Liu Yuanqi's face changed, and he categorically refused: Lord Wang, this money is used to build the Heroic Soul Hall, the soldiers protect their families and defend the country, sacrifice for the imperial court, and the imperial court issues the money, so that the soldiers can rest in peace, be able to leave their names, and accept the people's incense, this money can't be moved! ] 】

[Youzhou Thorn History: Who said that this money was going to be moved? To say that you don't want to forge ahead is not wrong at all! You can't teach your children! Didn't I let you build it? You're wrong! On the contrary, I want you to build a large ancestral hall for the spiritual seats of the warriors, and I want you to use the best wood, the best stone, and the best craftsmen! 】

[Young Liu Yuanqi: Huh? What do you mean, Lord Wang? 】

[History of Youzhou Thorn: The silver given by the imperial court is five hundred taels of silver, I feel that this money is not enough, not enough for the soldiers to rest in peace, I decided to apply to the imperial court for another 1,500 taels of silver, for the construction of the Heroic Soul Hall. 】

[Young Liu Yuanqi: Huh? But Lord Wang, even if you use the materials so well, you can't spend so much money? 】

[History of Youzhou Thorn: If you don't open your mind, you just don't open your mind, and you don't understand what it means? Won't you find a way to spend the money you can't spend? Hire more people? Pay more for consumables? These things, you don't understand? 】

[Young Liu Yuanqi suddenly realized: Lord Wang, do you mean to take out this money and give it to Geng Qincha? 】

[Youzhou Thorn Shi finally showed a smile and bowed slightly: Hey, by the way, now, you still have a little understanding. 】

[The young Liu Yuanqi still shook his head: Lord Wang, but these are all the money of the imperial court, and they are all people's fat and people's ointment? How can we be greedy for the money of the Moxican court and use it to make friends with the court? Is this corruption and bribery? 】

[Youzhou Thorn History: You! You are simply hopeless! Let me ask you, are the people of Yuanqu County suffering? 】

[Young Liu Yuanqi nodded: Bitter! 】

[History of Youzhou Thorn: Do you want to save the people of Yuanqu County? 】

[Young Liu Yuanqi: I think. 】

[Youzhou Thorn History: Since you want to, you just do what I say, the official word has two mouths, if you don't feed the mouth above, how can you feed the bottom? You don't worship, you don't want to give Geng Qin a little benefit, how can you let Geng Qin say good things for you? How did you get the grant? How can you get relief from the imperial court? 】

[History of Youzhou Thorn: You must know that Youzhou is not only poor in Yuanqu County...... Why do you think it's your turn? 】

[Hearing this, the young Liu Yuanqi was silent. 】

[Youzhou Thorn Shi patted the young Liu Yuanqi on the shoulder: Young father, you have to understand one thing, if you don't take it, how can I take it? ] If I don't take it, how can Geng Qincha take it? Geng Qin almost didn't take it? How can you and I improve? 】

[Youzhou Assassin History: You are just a county order, you can only save people from one county, if you can become a thorn like me, you can save people from a state? Don't you understand? 】

[Youzhou Thorn History: Let me tell you, in the imperial court, if you want to do something, you must know how to use this relationship...... Hurry up and write that application to me, and I'll arrange it. When the payment arrives, you exchange the silver taels for gold bars in the same proportion, and you take the two percent, and give me the rest, and I will take care of it. 】

[Young Liu Yuanqi: Lord Wang, is this possible? I ......]

[Youzhou Thorn Shi waved his hand: Okay, this matter, God knows, you know and I know, and Geng Qin knows it, he took the benefits, he will naturally do things for us, Youzhou is a poor place, but if you get together, you can still make him satisfied. 】

[Young Liu Yuanqi: Lord Wang, forget my share......]

[Youzhou Thorn Shi's face fell: Young father, can't we grow old and not grow? You must learn the overall situation, learn to do things, and join in this complex relationship as soon as possible, only in this way can you make progress and help Yuanqu County get the grant......]

[History of Youzhou Thorn: From township to county, from county to county, from county to top, layer after layer, this is like an invisible net, firmly entangled with us people, those who can spin silk, then firmly stick to the net, those who can't spin silk, will naturally fall. 】

[Youzhou Thorn History: You have to remember that the bigger the official, the greater the power, the greater the power, the more things you can do, you want to serve the court, you want to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, if you want to complete your ideals, you have to climb up, step by step, if you don't join this relationship, who will support you? Who will help you climb up? 】
