"Why are you looking at me? You know I'm not interested in court affairs. I can just be Brother Hui's personal bodyguard." After all, Old Man Tao is older and has quick reaction abilities.

Huang? Am I overthinking it? Mu Yingbao shook his head and continued to listen to the child describe today's big scene.

After listening, Mu Yingbao patted the child on the shoulder and said, "Son, remember this special day."

Brother Hui nodded with a smile on his face, thinking, I have to remember it even if I don't want to, because today a mixture of good and bad things happened.

"By the way, son, you said there is someone who seems to be unable to bear the stimulation and has gone crazy? Bring him here for me to see?" Mu Yingbao remembered and asked.

Since entering the palace, apart from preparing medicine and bandaging Xue Wenyu's wounds, she seems to have become a professional cook.

This won't do. Medical skills must not be wasted.

"Mother, don't pay attention to that. There's nothing wrong with him being crazy. If you cure him, he will be in great pain when he wakes up." Brother Hui still didn't recommend giving that man treatment.

"Okay, then just leave him alone." Mu Yingbao wasn't originally motivated by humanitarianism. The reason he wanted to show that person was because he didn't want Brother Hui to have a bad reputation for driving an old minister crazy.

But after hearing what Brother Hui said, she also felt that it made sense.

If you have nothing to do, then go and save those who deserve treatment.

Because Brother Hui came back early today and made lunch early, the two of them went into the study to discuss the appointment issue after the shortlisted candidates arrived in the afternoon.

It’s easy to say if there are a few of them. We can understand the candidates’ strengths and then give them suitable official positions.

Now there are more than 70 of them, how do you know?

Everyone is good at different things, so this cannot be taken lightly.

Just like what we did to Feng Jucai, we gave him an official position that suits him. Now it has been proved that this decision was completely correct.

Brother Hui handed over all matters concerning the Commerce Department to Feng Jucai.

He was allowed to find the staff himself, no matter if they were inside or outside the palace, as long as he thought they were suitable.

Feng Jucai found two people to be his assistants, but it doesn't mean that these two people just helped him outside the palace.

Instead, they followed him into the palace, and Hui Ge also gave them two official positions, but their ranks were slightly lower, both of them were fifth-rank counselors.

Yes, (the author did not make a typo) it means staff advisor, not staff officer.

The order of the words is different, but the meaning is the same.

The two helpers that Feng Jucai was ordered to find were both from his own family, one was his younger brother, and the other was the youngest son of his uncle.

One of them is calm, and the other is quick-witted.

To outsiders, this seems to be a case of keeping the wealth within the family.

In fact, Feng Jucai didn’t think that much at all.

I want to support a business company now, it is impossible without help. But it is better to find someone you are familiar with, know well and are reliable than to find an outsider.

What's more, the Feng family is a big family and all of them are good at business. There is no reason to leave the one in front of you unused and go through the trouble of looking for it everywhere.

Now, the Feng family’s reputation has become even greater.

As his reputation grew, more and more people came to visit him to show their goodwill.

It's not that they want to bring him into the palace to be an official, but everyone knows that the emperor has added a commerce department in the palace, and it is obvious that he is interested in business.

Being able to do business with the Royal Trade Department means that they will form caravans to go to neighboring countries. It is good to lean on a big tree for shade, and you can gain advantages if you can get involved.

Therefore, people who are involved in business have active minds. People who are not involved in business would think it is nonsense if they know that the emperor has added a commerce department, and would be waiting to see the joke.

As for those who do business, they immediately saw the opportunity.

In all dynasties, agriculture was emphasized over commerce, and those who made money through business were inferior in status to others.

I couldn’t serve as an official in the court, and I couldn’t take the imperial examinations. Now, everything has changed.

Some people tried to find out that the caravan organized by the Imperial Commerce Department belonged to the public caravan of Yan State, and they could travel anywhere in the country. So, some people tried to ask Feng Jucai whether they could invest in the caravan.

Feng Jucai went home and mentioned this bow to his father and grandfather.

Unexpectedly, the two elders looked at each other and came up with an idea. They told him that if there was a chance, they would really ask the emperor whether it was possible to allow private enterprises to join in the investment.

After all, it’s not that the imperial court is short of money.

Since there is not enough money, wouldn't it be beneficial to both parties if ordinary people could invest?

When Feng Jucai heard this, he asked, "Father, grandfather, do you want to buy shares?"

The two elders immediately said, "That's right. If possible, why not keep such a good thing for themselves?"

Feng Jucai thought it made sense, so he wrote a memorial and submitted it the next day. On the third day, Brother Hui gave him a reply.

This is a good method, it's what my mother calls a win-win situation.

So, the agreement to join and invest was signed a few years ago.

The Feng family held a meeting and announced the matter, saying that anyone who was willing to invest could do so.

If you don't want to join, you won't be forced to do so. But one thing is that you only have one chance. If you want to join again after you have seen the benefits, I'm sorry, it's not possible.

The Feng family has always been united, so if you don't seize the opportunity given to you, it means you don't trust your own people. So, if you see that you can really make money in the future, and want to join? No way!

In other words, all the members of the Yan State caravan who joined and invested in the business were members of the Feng family.

The outsider was very angry, but he didn't dare to say anything bad. If he offended the Feng family, he would have no chance in the future.

The whole Yan State was in an uproar over what happened in the court on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the news spread like wildfire.

Most people think that Yan Guo may really change a lot.

Some people are just waiting and watching. It's just a kid. What can he do?

Mu Yingbao really hadn't heard anything about the rumors outside the palace.

On the 27th, Tao Qingyuan drove a carriage loaded with fine wine over there. He saw that the people really had no intention of leaving.

"Senior Tao, this is really rare." When Kong Lian heard that Guijianchou had arrived, he probably guessed something in his mind.

"Okay, we're all from the same world, no need for such polite words. New Year's Day is coming, so I'll send you some good wine. If Gang Leader Kong would do me the honor, let's have a few drinks." Tao Qingyuan actually liked this guy quite a bit.

No matter what he thought of his granddaughter, he did this because he was helping her.

"What are you saying, Senior Tao? I don't mean to say I am honoring you. Since you are here, just have a few drinks." After Kong Lian said this, his men immediately set the table and prepared the dishes.

After three rounds of drinks, Tao Qingyuan went straight to the point. "Boss Kong, we are all open-minded people. I'm sure you already know what I'm doing here. I won't beat around the bush.
