The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 754
[Chapter 754: Another transformation of Fang Xiu]
When everyone in the Tao Mansion heard Fang Xiu’s words, they naturally fell silent.
On the one hand, they didn’t dare to say anything, and on the other hand, they really had nothing to refute.
Only the little girl didn’t understand what Fang Xiu meant, so she opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
However, Fang Xiu didn’t bother to pay attention to her anymore, and instead took people to the next mansion.
There are sixty-seven mansions in total, with a total of nearly one million taels of silver!
What is the concept of a million taels of silver! ?
It’s almost worth half a year’s income to the national treasury!
It is simply that
these are only sixty-seven mansions!
How many people are there in the entire Dachu?
Silver was piled high in one carriage after another. When it was delivered to the palace, it stretched for hundreds of meters without interruption.
There were many people watching, but they didn’t know what was in the carriage.
It’s a good thing they didn’t know what was inside the carriage, otherwise they could have overturned the palace in anger!
With millions of taels of silver, there are still so many people in Kyoto Prefecture who don’t even have food to eat, let alone other places in Dachu!
When Fang Xiu was in Nuange, he reported this matter to Emperor Chu.
After hearing this, Emperor Chu was furious.
He really didn’t expect that the civil and military officials above the court would be so greedy.
So much money is a bit too exaggerated!
Moreover, this does not include the ministers and ministers of various ministries.
You must know that the person who was really investigated and punished was the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. Although he had a lot of power, in terms of making money, it was not as good as that of the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Personnel.
How much money do the households and officials have together?
“This is simply unreasonable!”
Emperor Chu thought of this, with an angry expression on his face. He couldn’t help but pick up a tea cup and hit it hard on the ground. His eyes were already red.
Obviously very angry.
When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he stood aside without saying a word.
There are some things that his identity is not suitable to say.
However, if he didn’t say anything, Emperor Chu would not let him go.
After Emperor Chu calmed down a little, he looked at Fang Xiu and his expression became gentler.
No matter what, Fang Xiu’s money was earned honestly.
There is still a difference with these dogs.
Emperor Chu asked: “Fang Xiu, what do you think about this matter?”
Fang Xiu was slightly startled. This question is really difficult to answer.
What do you think?
If you really want to ask me how I watched it, I can only say that I watched it standing up, otherwise what?
But
Fang Xiu hesitated for a while, but still did not make peace. Instead, he pointed out the key point directly and said: “Your Majesty, I think that now is a good opportunity for the imperial examination!
There are already rumors about the women’s imperial examination. For some time, both the civil and military officials in the court and the gentry and common people in the world have been able to accept the existence of the imperial examination for women.
In this case, why not just implement the imperial examination directly? “
When the Emperor of Chu heard this, he asked. He frowned tightly and said nothing.
Obviously, this was not what he wanted to hear.
However, since meeting Emperor Chu a few days ago, Fang Xiu was too lazy to tell Emperor Chu what he wanted to hear.
Fang Xiu just wants to do what he should do and say what he should say.
He cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, what is the purpose of the imperial examination today?”
“Of course it is to select talented people!” Emperor Chu blurted out.
This question is a no-brainer.
When Fang Xiu heard this, a smile appeared on his face: “What is the standard? How many scriptures, poems, and policies? With all due respect, these things cannot select talents at all!
At most, they can only select those The corrupt people, the representatives of the gentry, are just maggots!
Then, some of these maggots turned into flies, and only a small part of them turned into butterflies, especially now!
Your Majesty, it has been many years since there has been a real noble son from a poor family. Over the years, the imperial examination should have been booming, but now many people don’t even have money to read the book. The
real poor people have to work hard to get an equal opportunity to take the imperial examination
. , the contents of the imperial examination are still classics, poems, and policy discussions.
In my opinion, only one of these things is useful. All of them, except policy reviews, should be abandoned!”
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chu became angry.
Staring at Fang Xiu, he said loudly: “Bold! The meaning of the scriptures is the words of the sage.”
Before Emperor Chu finished speaking, Fang Xiu interrupted him: “The words of the sage? It is nothing more than teaching people to cultivate their moral character and cultivate their character. To be kind, you must love the people and be cautious.
However, among the people selected by the imperial examination, how many of them can live up to the words of the saint? “
Speaking of this, Fang Xiu let out a disdainful laugh and said: “Of course, these words of saints, benevolence, justice and morality are not in their hearts, but they often talk about it, and from time to time it is the words of saints, This is benevolence, righteousness and morality! “
“”
When Emperor Chu heard this, he was completely confused.
Not only Emperor Chu, but also Liu Cheng was confused.
They never expected that Fang Xiu was so courageous now. Is
he
still a minister?
Why have you never seen Fang Xiu like this before?
Emperor Chu stretched out his hand and pointed at Fang Xiu, almost speechless with anger.
But Fang Xiu looked up at Emperor Chu and said coldly: “Your Majesty, you are. I know what I think.
With all due respect, you are a loyal king, but you are not necessarily a wise king. You treat me well. I once thought you treated me sincerely, but now I understand that you are only proficient in the art of emperor balance. .
In the final analysis, one still has to pay attention to status.
Of course, this minister doesn’t have any opinions, but now he has other ideas. ” You,
you.”
Emperor Chu pointed at Fang Xiu with his finger, his face flushed red, and he didn’t know what to say for a moment.
The relationship between the monarch and his ministers took a sharp turn.
From the original peak to the bottom in an instant.
“You, you have to do it.” What? You are so brave! “
I don’t know how long it took, but Emperor Chu was finally able to speak.
After hearing this, Fang Xiu shook his head, with a look of intolerance on his face. After he couldn’t bear it, he gradually became firm again.
To be honest, Fang Xiu Now I feel that my life is very boring.
It’s like my life has been cheated.
It has been smooth sailing
from the beginning to the end
.
, from the son of An Pingbo to the current minister of Xin’an,
it is really boring, very boring!
He originally thought that the relationship between him and Emperor Chu was friendship, or that
Emperor Chu understood him.
After the craniotomy incident, Fang Xiu noticed Emperor Chu’s suspicion.
And regarding Prince Kang’s issue, Fang Xiu also took note of Emperor Chu’s aggressiveness.
In this case, it was better to change the game of life .
Change.
Now, don’t play simulation civilization games!
