"Merit?"

The eyes of the audience fell on Liang Xiao.

Only then did everyone realize that Liang Xiao was able to participate in this court meeting with the rank of seventh-rank official, which showed his merits......

Xing Feng glanced at Li Xinwen, who retreated behind him in a playful manner, without saying a word.

According to the preliminary estimate of the Ministry of Industry, the annual stamp duty can increase by an additional 600,000 to 1.7 million. Such a wonderful plan is from the hand of Liang Aiqing! ”

Duanmu Cao and the others' expressions changed, and their faces were uncomfortable.

Only Tuoba Lie bowed slightly, smiling, and was more afraid of Liang Xiao in his heart.

Or his son can see it thoroughly, this son is really extraordinary, and he shouldn't act rashly!

Li Xinwen turned his head to look at Liang Xiao with difficulty, and saw that he was not shocked, and his heart was even more mixed.

In contrast, as the beloved daughter of the Great Chu Hussar, she is regarded as the best woman in Great Chu, and as the deputy envoy of Great Chu to envoy Da Zhou, but because of impulsiveness, she embarrassed Liang Xiao in public and humiliated herself, and she had to rely on Xing Feng to clean up the mess for her......

Now she is a little remorseful, she really despises Liang Xiao and Xing Feng.

Because she heard the words of the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty clearly: This is only one of the merits......

Duan Yunyi said: "Second, Liang Aiqing improved the salt-making process, reduced costs, and increased output. According to the budget of the Ministry of Industry, the imperial court can reasonably increase the annual income of at least 2 million taels of silver. ”

"Two million taels?!" Duanmu Cao and the others shrank their pupils, and they all looked at Yang Ling, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Yang Ling just smiled.

Money is not exposed, but sometimes it needs proper publicity to boost national confidence.

His estimate is not limited to this, but Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui agreed that it should be not too late to reward Liang Xiao after the East China Sea Yantian officially determines the increase in income, so as not to attract more fierce opposition from these families.

Now it is only estimated that the annual increase will be two million taels, which is enough to give Da Chu a small shock.

"Third, Liang Aiqing's cash-for-work and recruitment of displaced people as workers has maintained law and order in the capital to a certain extent, and should be recognized."

Compared with the first two, the third credit seemed a little insignificant, and everyone did not object.

Xing Feng's face was rarely surprised, and Li Xinwen's brows trembled, announcing the shock in his heart at this moment.

Stamp duty? Salt administration levies two million taels?

Such merits are enough to be added to the rank of knight in Dachu!

Duanmu Cao looked at his colleagues in shock.

Yang Ling, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has always taken Zhuge Hui as an example, acted steadily, and would not easily draw conclusions.

He said that the increase in income by one million taels means that the actual increase in income will only be more, not less!

It also means that Liang Xiao's merits are enough to ......

"Liang Aiqing is loyal to the monarch and serves the country, and has such a great achievement, I intend to make him inherit the title of his father, the Marquis of Lanling, and then add an official to the matter."

As soon as Duan Yunyi's voice fell, the official department Shangshu Duanmu Festival was the first to come out to oppose it.

"My emperor thinks twice! Liang Xiao was originally the son of a criminal minister, but he was not as weak as the crown, and he was able to make an exception to be awarded the title of a first-grade imperial merchant and set it as a seven-grade, which is really a great emperor's grace! In my court, the official residence is from the fifth grade, and the second grade is jumped at a time, absolutely not! ”

Duan Yunyi's heart was nameless, and he asked in a cold voice, "Why not?" ”

Zhuge Hui couldn't stand it anymore and refuted it.

"Lord Duanmu's words are wrong! Gan Luo can be a Shangqing at the age of twelve, and Liang Xiao is only awarded the fifth grade at the age of seventeen. Although he is not as weak as the crown, today my emperor and you can see it, and his ability, talent and mind are superior to those of the two Duanmu lords. ”

"Lord Liang can increase the country's income, and his ability is enough to be affirmed." Yang Ling also nodded in agreement.

Duanmu Jie was suddenly speechless.

With Zhuge Hui in front of him, he didn't dare to make a mistake as a scholar.

This is the founding prime minister of the country that no one is convinced, and the role that the major families do not want to face is even more difficult to deal with than Duan Yunyi and the Marquis of Dingguo.

If there were no Zhuge Hui and Dingguo Hou, they would have absolute self-confidence, and sooner or later they would be able to play Duan Yunyi in the palm of their hands.

This article and one martial arts have maintained the Great Zhou Guozuo for 40 years, and it has made great contributions and is highly respected.

"But!"

Duanmu Cao was about to come out of the queue to say something, but Tuoba Lie behind him quietly pulled his official uniform.

Tuoba Lie said loudly: "My Emperor Shengming! ”

Only then did the two brothers calm down and realize that the situation was not good.

If they scolded their own kings in front of the envoys of Great Chu like this, they might not have to do it.

Even Tuoba Lie spoke out in support, and the ministers no longer objected, and echoed one after another.

Duan Yunyi was satisfied, and immediately issued an edict that Liang Xiao inherited the title of Marquis of Lanling, and sealed it from the five products.

Liang Xiao took the seal of the Marquis of Lanling, the official seal and the official uniform in the matter under the jealous gaze of Duanmu Cao and others.

Xing Feng and others watched the play quietly, and also confirmed the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Ambassador Xing is still satisfied with our hospitality?"

It wasn't until Duan Yunyi spoke that Xing Feng responded: "The courtesy is thoughtful, I am very grateful!" On the orders of our Emperor, I hope to strengthen exchanges between the two countries with your country, including but not limited to literature, commerce, and water transportation, so as to lay the foundation for a formal alliance between the two countries. ”

"This matter is not difficult, after the end of the court meeting, Ambassador Xing can choose his own time and discuss with the right prime minister of this court."

Xing Feng thanked him respectfully, conveyed the greetings of the Great Chu Emperor to Duan Yunyi, and withdrew from the hall with Li Xinwen.

The on-site diplomacy between the two countries finally ended in a pleasant face, and Li Xinwen's recklessness did not have an impact.

The appearance of Liang Xiao was too inappropriate for these family ministers.

The ministers were powerless to prevent Liang Xiao from becoming an official, so they could only choose to be out of sight first.

At the end of the court meeting, Duanmu Jie, Duanmu Cao, Tuoba Lie and other ministers walked out of the palace.

Duanmu Jie saw that there were no outsiders around, so he couldn't help but ask Tuoba Lie: "Why does Lord Tuoba support Liang Xiao......"

Tuoba Lie said helplessly: "Today's matter, the two of you should also understand that the benefit of the tongue can only be counterproductive, and it cannot cause substantial harm to this son. At present, this son is taking advantage of the newspaper, and he is also seizing the right of public opinion that we have been operating for many years, and if the two of them make a slight mistake, this son may add fuel and vinegar to inform the whole city. You know what I mean? ”

Duanmujie nodded helplessly: "I understand, we should do something practical, for this son, a fatal blow is good!" ”

Tuoba Lie was finally relieved, and he couldn't help but be annoyed when he thought of the Dugu family and the Ram clan who were rejected by Zhuge Hui to Jiangbei and Jiangnan: "This Zhuge old thief is far-sighted and calculating, and he is the most difficult to deal with." The old man had a hunch that he intended to train Liang Xiao as his successor, after all, he was old and had to think about what was behind him. ”

Everyone's expressions changed, and they immediately gritted their teeth.

It is Zhuge Hui who hinders the family from seeking the country!

Now, another teenager like Liang Xiao has been born......

Duan Yunyi took Liang Xiao to the side hall, looked at Liang Xiao, and said softly: "Today is quite smooth, this is also your false position, you don't have to worry about government affairs." ”

After Liang Xiao thanked him, Duan Yunyi said again: "You were born in the first month, I was born in Layue, in fact, it is only one month older than you." In the future, I will treat you as a friend, and you don't have to be restrained. ”

Liang Xiao wanted to speak and stopped.

"Don't you dare to be friends with me?" Duan Yunyi's eyes were a little more disappointed.

Liang Xiao's expression changed.

"Do it, do it! Your Majesty should take care of your body and rest more these days. ”

Duan Yunyi's brows trembled slightly.

This bastard thought she was in a bad mood because of the menstrual incident.
