yes sire

After Xia Siyan grew up, Gao Qing spent a lot of time in order to let him indulge in sensuality and carelessness about government affairs.Since Empress Dowager Chen passed away three years ago, she has been sending all kinds of beauties to the palace to prostitute children. The extravagant music and dance that Han You saw today is also a way for high-ranking people to contribute.There is only one purpose, to lure him with sensuality and beauty, to make the emperor addicted, to be lazy and depraved, so that Gao Qing can stay in power forever.

Seeing this, Han You graciously instilled in the little emperor the dangers of indulging in sensuality, and tricked the little emperor to memorize Han Feizi's eight traitors by heart.Fortunately, Xia Siyan didn't go so far as to be sensual and lewd, but looking at it now, it seems that he has overcorrected.

Although Xia Siyan didn't do anything against Gao Qingjin's beautiful child molestation that would harm the way of the Mingjun, he still learned a lot of those messy things.

Han You didn't believe Xia Siyan, didn't know how imaginative these intimate actions were, a few years ago he thought he was young and tried to accommodate many things as much as possible, but now that he has reached the age of taking charge of the government, he can no longer be used in such things Sensible to excuse.

After clearing his mind, Han You stood up and changed the subject, "Your Majesty, let's discuss how to deal with Gao Yuanfu."

Xia Siyan seemed to be in a better mood suddenly, he fell back and leaned on the imperial couch, and said lazily, "Then tell me what you think."

Han You bent down and picked up the folder on the ground, "I think that the folder should be sent back to the cabinet for drafting immediately."

Xia Siyan sneered, "The paper was written by Gao Qing, send it back for him to draft, and then ask him to come to Changle Palace to approve it?"

"That's why we have to send it back to the cabinet immediately today," Han You reminded, "Xiu Mu today, the cabinet minister on duty is Hu Qimin."

"and then?"

Speaking of government affairs, Han You unconsciously brought out the temperament of giving lectures to the little emperor. He stood tall and said calmly: "Hu Qimin has been a cabinet minister for more than 20 years, relying on his ability to assess the situation. When he returned to the cabinet, he would definitely think that His Majesty obeyed Gao Qing. How could he miss this opportunity to add icing on the cake to Lord Yuanfu? Presumably he would immediately write a letter supporting Gao Qing's proposal, not only that, but he would also notify the various ministries in central Beijing Minister, write a letter together."

Xia Siyan smiled slyly, and continued: "Establishment is a major national event. Ministers, ministers, speech officials, and even local dignitaries will write letters. Although the Gao Party is huge, it does not cover the sky with one hand. Those who oppose him will naturally take the opportunity to speak out. First muddy the water and let them fight themselves."

Han You said with a bright smile, "That's exactly the truth."

Xia Siyan glanced at him, "Mr. is so good at talking, who doesn't know that Hu Qimin is used to adapting to the wind, so you praise him for judging the situation."

Han You also served as a lecturer at the Wenhua Palace. Xia Siyan called him Mr. when he was a child, and now he calls him that when he is in a good mood.Hearing what he said, Han You knew that he had coaxed His Majesty well today, so he couldn't help but repeat: "A person's shortcomings, as long as they can be used by His Majesty, will become advantages for His Majesty. It doesn't matter."

"Yeah," Xia Siyan smiled, and said in a flirtatious tone, "Sir, you have such a sweet mouth."

Han You pretended not to understand, took a step back, bowed his hands and said, "Then I will go down and make arrangements."

Han You came out of the palace, and Han San was already waiting outside the palace gate.

There are many people in Beijing, and it is inconvenient to walk around in court clothes, so officials will arrange sedan chairs or carriages to wait at the gate of the palace when they enter and leave the palace. The imperial guards set aside a piece of land outside the east gate of the palace as a special parking spot.On this day, there were only a few horse-drawn carriages parked here and there.

Han San drove the car himself today, and now he was leaning on the carriage and chatting with someone, when he caught a glimpse of the servant coming out of the palace gate, he hurriedly bowed his hands to the man to say goodbye.He jumped into the carriage, skillfully drove the carriage to the main road, and stopped in front of Han You impartially.

Before getting into the car, Han You glanced at the person who was chatting with Han San just now, and Han San explained: "That's Hu Qimin's servant from Hu Ge's hometown."

"Well," Han You nodded, and asked casually, "Is Mrs. Hu feeling better?"

"It's just not good." Han San helped Han You into the car, then took the reins and sat on it, "It's said that there are not many days left."

Han You nodded without making a sound, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at Shamao Street, where Han's house was located.Suddenly, Han You felt that the carriage stopped, and he raised the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"

"Sir, it seems that people are being arrested ahead."

Han You poked his head around and saw that there was a circle of short-clothed common people in front of the tofu shop at the entrance of the market. In the crowd, one could vaguely see a person lying on the ground, and two or three officers and soldiers were punching and kicking him. A woman in a turban is covering her face and weeping bitterly.

"Hey, isn't that Teng Yuan?" Han San recognized that the person being beaten on the ground was the owner of the tofu shop.The ingredients in that shop are fresh and high-quality. It is a famous tofu shop in Beijing, and Han Fu is also a frequent visitor to this shop.

"Go and see."

After Han You finished speaking, he opened the curtain and was about to get out of the car. Before he could stand still, he was recognized by the onlookers, and someone shouted, "Master Han is here! Hurry up and stop!"

The weeping woman immediately seemed to have seen a god who saved her life, and she pushed aside the crowd and rushed to Han You's feet, "I also ask the servant to avenge the little people!"

This woman is the proprietress of the tofu shop. When Han You passed by here every day, he could see the couple doing business in the street, so he asked, "What grievances do you have?"

The woman cried and said: "Our Teng family has been selling tofu in this street for more than [-] years, and we have paid the brand name money on time every year. Today, the officers and soldiers said that we did not pay enough for the brand name, and we have to charge ten more. Times the fine, if we can’t pay it, they will smash our shop and drive us away.”

Zhaoguo emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce. Since Taizu, it has continuously curbed the development of commerce.Businessmen have to pay fees to the Ministry of Households every year and receive a license to operate, which is what the woman called "brand money".It is up to the household department to charge more or less for the brand name according to the business performance of the store.For some merchants with good business but no connections, more than half of their annual revenue is used to pay for this brand. One can imagine the survival dilemma of Zhaoguo merchants.

Han You asked Han San to help the woman up, and the crowd in front of the tofu shop had automatically dispersed to make way for him.He saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground moaning, and several people in Zaoli costumes stood aside holding sticks.

Seeing Han You, who was wearing a third-rank official uniform, the Zaoli shrank back a little guilty, and then the leader immediately took the lead to salute him: "Master Han, we are here with Wu Langzhong's warrant. of."

As he spoke, he took out the book on his body, held it in both hands and handed it to Han You.The booklet reads, "Teng's Tofu Store should receive a license fee of 100 taels, actually pay 45 taels, owe 55 taels, and fine 550 taels, totaling [-] taels."

The name of Wu Shijie, the doctor of the Jinke Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was signed below.

Han You glanced at it and laughed angrily, "No matter how good the tofu business is, it only earns eight or ninety taels of silver a year. Paying 90 taels of silver is already half a year's income for the whole family. I don't know what this Wu Langzhong is doing Calculate the license fee of 45 taels?"

That Zaoli was stunned for a moment. No one in the capital knew that Wu Shijie's father, Wu Wenci, was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, not only Han You's immediate boss, but also his teacher.Zaoli originally thought that he was one of his own people, so Han You would not be embarrassed when he showed Wu Shijie's name, but who knew that Han Shilang took some wrong medicine today, and actually found Wu Shijie's fault in the street.

This number was written by Wu Shijie himself, just because his newly married concubine's family liked the good location of the store and the good port, and wanted to drive the Teng couple away and take the store as their own.When the wind blows in the ears of the young and beautiful concubine, he naturally responds to everything.

Chasing away a small business peddler is just a matter of wiggling fingers for the doctor in the household department, but he didn't expect that a nosy person appeared halfway.The Zaoli was afraid that he would go back and be scolded if he failed his errand, so he leaned over and whispered to Han You: "Master Han, this is what Wu Langzhong ordered, look..."

Most of the onlookers were nearby merchants and civilians, who had long complained about this brand of money.I was very excited when I heard Han Shilang say that the calculation of the household department was unfair. Finally, a high-ranking official was willing to stand up and speak for them. At this time, I saw Zaoli and Han You whispering. They all knelt down and asked Han Shilang to uphold justice.

All of a sudden, the shouts on Shamao Street were loud, and the crowd surrounded the street completely.

Han You took a step back to distance himself from Zaoli: "So what did Mr. Wu order? You dare to beat people in the street after taking the books?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zaoli puffed out his chest and argued in a low voice, "Then this is also a matter of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"I can't take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Han You smiled coldly, and there was that startling aura around him again, "You are holding a booklet signed by Wu Langzhong, right? "

Zaoli nodded: "Yes."

"It's Wu Langzhong's order to ask you to take over this store, right?"

Zaoli shrunk his neck, nodded again: "Yes."

"Then let me ask you, what rank is Wu Langzhong?"

"Zheng...Zheng fifth grade." Zaoli said more and more in a low voice, and was forced by Han Youling's aura to dare not raise his head.

Han You continued to ask unhurriedly: "Then what grade of official am I?"

That Zao Li was like a gossamer: "My lord is the third grade..."

"Since that's the case, can this matter be managed by the official?"

Several Zaolis stood upright with their hands down, not daring to speak.Zhaoguo has governed the country with etiquette for more than 200 years, and the hierarchy of rules and regulations is very strict, and the official rank is one level, which can indeed crush people to death.They are used to being domineering in the name of the Ministry of Households, but now they dare not show their arrogance when facing the third-rank officials.If Han You made up his mind to take care of this matter today, even if Wu Shijie came in person, he might have to give some face.

Thinking of this, the leader Zaoli felt a little afraid, and took the book back into his arms with a guilty conscience.

Han You saw their flinching, and continued: "I will report the license fees to His Majesty in a letter, but you have violated the law of my court by beating people in the street. Now I order you to send the injured to medical treatment immediately. Whether you want to be punished according to the law depends entirely on the wishes of the injured person."

The implication is that the wounded should be settled properly, and if they find something to do, they will go through the legal process and send them to custody.Several Zao Li hurriedly lifted up Teng Yuan who was on the ground, hurriedly sent him to the hospital for treatment.

The crowd of onlookers burst into cheers, Han You didn't want to say more, and turned back to the carriage.People hugged the carriage and sent Han You to the gate of the mansion. They watched Han You enter the mansion before slowly dispersing.
