The wife is the king of the palace

"Hahaha..." Xu Lan laughed immediately when he heard the words. If the person heard these words, he would inevitably jump up and down again.

Jin Qi was in a good mood, but silently kept this matter in his heart.

Xu Lan over there laughed enough, and mentioned what he had heard before, "When I came here, I heard that the imperial decree will be issued tomorrow?"

Xu Lan entered the palace immediately after hearing about this incident, but instead of going to the place where other officials gathered, he came to find Lin Xu.

"Yeah." Lin Xu took out the roster that he got earlier from his arms, and handed it to Xu Lan beside him.

Xu Lan took a look, and guessed the reason from the ink that was not dry without saying a word.He asked the person next to him to get a pen and ink, quickly copied a copy, and put it in his arms.

"Please help me to be more careful," Lin Xu said.

"I will copy another copy and present it to the emperor." Xu Lan said.

Lin Xu stopped talking, but Xu Lan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There are really not many worry-free people in this court, and there are not many loyal and good ministers."

The roster that Lin Xu gave him just now contains dozens of names, accounting for almost half of the ministers in the court. These are only those who have been discovered and noticed, and there are probably many who have not been noticed.

"What is a good minister? What is a treacherous minister?" Lin Xu was in a good mood and talked a lot.

Xu Lan didn't expect Lin Xu to strike up a conversation. Hearing this, he glanced at Lin Xu, but just shook his head and didn't answer.

What is a good minister?What is a traitor again?This seems to make sense, how could the two of them not understand?

Those who entered the court as officials, who were able to do their job well and not abuse their power to deceive others, were considered a good name.If he can share the worries and solve the problems for the imperial court, he can already be called a capable minister.

It's really like Lin Xulan and Xulan who don't take bribes or take bribes, and only rely on that meager salary to be upright and clean all their lives. I'm afraid that the total number of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty can't make up five.

Perhaps at the beginning, many people wanted to do something for the imperial court, but once they entered the imperial court, many things would become beyond their control.

Just like this matter of business and taxation, many officials are involved, and merchants often acquiesce. Even if you are alone and refuse to approach merchants, how can officials let it go and let it go?

They are all in the same boat, so how can they let a person who has nothing to do with them by their side?

The way to be an official is to choose between being in the same rank or being excluded.

It would be fine if they were in the same boat, but if they were pushed out, it would be really difficult for them to move forward. Even if the emperor trusts her, how long can she trust her?How many officials can be worth to secretly participate in the frame?

For example, Hubu Wanyu and Su Fanyi, these two are considered to be rising stars in recent years, and they are newly recruited students after Jinqi's status stabilized.

In the beginning, the two were passionate, and they were also very active in the court. No matter how big or small, they were dedicated to fighting for the people's reasoning. At that time, they were considered to be deeply liked by Jin Qi.

But it has only been four or five years since they entered the court and became officials, but now they have completely changed their appearance.

Hubu Shangshu Wanyu is now an old fritter who has a good relationship with all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. He has a smooth and smooth tone and is very good at attracting people, and many people in the court call him brothers.

Although Su Fanyi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is not as popular as Wan Yu, he is also one of the central leaders who are highly respected in the main battle faction. If he speaks during the DPRK and China discussions, there will be countless people who second him.

Are such two old fritters considered bad?Not counting, just the two of them are considered good in court.

Although Wan Yu seems to be a brother and brother to everyone with a glib voice, he has never neglected the affairs of the household department, and he has never missed anything that the emperor explained.

The same is true for Su Fanyi, although as a combatant, he is so stubborn on some border issues that it makes people angry, but like Wan Yu, he has done all the internal affairs very well.

Both Lin Xu and Xu Lan saw the changes in the two of them, so they naturally understood the reason.

It can even be said that Wanyu can manage the household department so properly, a large part of it is because he has a good relationship with most officials in the DPRK and China. The emperor's confession may not be fully completed.

Su Fanyi is nothing more than that, doing something convenient with others is equivalent to doing something with himself, to survive together.

These truths, the two people with clear minds have already understood.Xu Lan suddenly said something, but it was just a feeling.

In fact, not only the two of them understand this truth, but Jin Qi, who is the emperor, should understand it even more, which is why he did not wash the court with blood like before.

It has only been nine years since Jin Qi ascended the throne, and the bloodbathed court has gradually been divided and distributed in the past few years and started to corrupt. He knows very well that even if he kills these people again, the situation will still be the same in a few years. will become like this again.

He planned the business and taxation step by step, because he couldn't change it even if he killed all these people. If he wanted to change the situation, in the end, he had to find another way to solve it fundamentally.

When this matter was mentioned, both Lin Xu and Xu Lan didn't want to talk any more, and sat quietly for a while, and when the imperial edict was drafted by the Ministry of Education, they said goodbye and left separately.

The next day, in the early court, Jin Qi issued the imperial decree as everyone expected, and all the officials who had received the news yesterday were silent and no one objected, which made Jin Qi on the dragon chair quite surprised .

When he was surprised, Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu who was the leader. Although he still didn't understand what happened, judging from the current situation, it was [-]/[-] out of [-] that he did something.

Being stared at, Lin Xu raised his eyes and saw that face was still so indifferent and quiet that no one could see the slightest clue.

"Take care of business and taxes as soon as possible. The treasury is still waiting for the money to be used. Don't be negligent." Seeing that everyone was no different, Jin Qi urged.

"Yes." Lin Xu replied.

"If you need someone to mediate, just pass on my word of mouth to all parties, so that everyone will cooperate with the prime minister, and if you violate my order, you will be held accountable." Jin Qi's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty." The relevant people immediately came out and received the holy order.

"Is there anything else? If you have something to report, you will leave the court if nothing else." Jin Qi said.

Hearing that Jin Qi didn't say much about business and taxation, all the officials who had been waiting with bated breath breathed a sigh of relief. The people who had been worrying about it all night originally thought that Jin Qi would definitely attack this morning.

Seeing that Jin Qi was not going to say more at this moment, Baiguan breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time began to guess, what is Jin Qi's intention by not saying anything at this moment?Is it to settle accounts after autumn?

Thinking of this, everyone who was originally relieved suddenly became nervous again, and their words and deeds became more and more restrained, not daring to exceed the rules in the slightest.

Lin Xu, who had been watching this scene in his eyes, saw that there was no change on his face, but he was already a little more satisfied in his heart. This is what he wanted.

Business and tax matters are difficult, not only for merchants, but also for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. If the officials do not act or deliberately neglect, then the business tax will not necessarily be paid for another 20 years. can be put away.

If all the officials are in danger and have no time to take care of themselves, and have no time to take care of merchants and the like, there will be fewer obstacles, and things will naturally be much easier to handle.

As for the bribery of hundreds of officials, it would be good if we can get a handle on it, and if we can't, don't rush it for a while.

"I have something to report." Amidst the confusion among the crowd, Wan Yu, Minister of the Household Department, took a step forward.

"what's up?"

"Returning to the emperor, it's about the weapon before." Wan Yu presented the note.

After Jin Qi took it from the eunuch and looked it over, his face became a little weird.

"This is the account made up by the frontier camp." Wan Yu said.

Previously, the matter of weapons mobilized many people, which consumed a lot of financial and material resources, and also caused a lot of trouble for the local county government along the river bank.

The manpower is good, and Dayu raises soldiers for use when necessary, but the materials consumed make the already tight treasury even more embarrassing.

"Didn't it already be settled before?" Jin Qi felt a sudden pain in his forehead when he saw the account.

Although it is for business tax, the debt he owes is enough for him to clear porridge and cabbage every day until the end of the year. May I ask which emperor in this world is as pitiful as him?

Thinking of this, Jin Qi couldn't help but look at the culprit who caused him to clear porridge and cabbage every day.

The court was full of civil and military affairs, and all the civil servants were black court uniforms, and the civil servants were dark blue court uniforms. He had been tired of looking at him for nearly ten years, but the one he wore on Lin Xu's body was the only one that could make him look at it any time. Can't take my eyes off.

The dark blue court dress seemed to be tailor-made for Lin Xu. The dark color made Lin Xu's face more sharp-edged. The simple and elegant tattoos of the same color and the patterns that symbolized loyal ministers made this man's figure even more clear. It looks tall and slender.

These, coupled with Lin Xu's quiet but irresistible temperament and presence at any time, sketched out a unique picture in this court.

Jin Qi propped his chin with one hand, and was a little crazy watching it for a while.

Lin Xu, who was paying attention to the officials, noticed his gaze, looked back, met Jin Qi's resentful eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

This person said before that he would steal his home and burn his books. He hasn't had time to settle with this person. Is it itchy again?

Jin Jin, who was originally staring at him with resentment, was stared at, his scalp tingled for a while, and he instinctively felt guilty.

Jin Qi stiffened his neck and retracted his gaze. He looked at the account in his hand and asked the eunuch to hand it back to Wan Yu, "Before the tax is paid, it will be done as before."

After finishing speaking, Jin Qi took another sneak peek at Lin Xu, seeing that Lin Xu was still looking straight at him, he couldn't help shrinking his neck.

He suddenly felt that green vegetables are actually quite good, he never knew before that green vegetables can also make so many unrepeated tricks.White porridge is also very appetizing. He can eat three bowls in one meal now.
