Changyu: ... This is too cruel.
Even Yin Ru felt that this move was very cruel, but Ming Da looked at him strangely, and then at Man Bao: "You came up with this now?"
"No," Bai Shan smiled and said, "I thought about it before, but it's not a small matter. Don't say that we are still young, even if we are older, it will be difficult to do it. But think about it. It's still possible."
Liu Huan trembled when he heard this. Is this the difference between the students who were praised by Kong Jijiu and the students who were not praised
Now they are still studying, why not study hard and think about such things
Yin Yu also felt strange, why should he think about such a thing
Bai Shan smiled at everyone, but did not explain.
In fact, it was the incident caused by Xu Yu last year. Afterwards, the emperor fought back and forth with all the aristocratic families. From Bai Shan's point of view, the emperor lost if the offenders were not punished as they should be.
But the master told them in private that this trip will hurt both sides, the emperor will hurt the future, and the aristocratic family will hurt at the root.
The emperor cannot preside over the law, and the national law will be violated again and again in the future, but this is not the first case, but it will become one of many precedents.
Mr. Zhuang said: "Although the law is human, but before the human, we must first stick to the law, so Your Majesty will hurt the future and set a bad example for future generations."
"But the aristocratic family didn't win, and even hurt more than the country and the emperor," Mr. Zhuang said. After coming down, they migrated to the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and their roots are already there."
"During the great chaos of the previous dynasty, Your Majesty fought all the way from Longxi to central Shu. Only Jiangnan, which is in a corner, did not experience many wars and was directly offered by various families." Mr. Zhuang said: "So Jiangnan has always been under the control of various families. Once His Majesty took advantage of Yang's incident and sent the Crown Prince and Lord Wei down to the south of the Yangtze River, the foundation of the family may be shaken in the future."
These things are still a secret in the court, and only a few ministers know about them or guess them. The reason why Mr. Zhuang can know is because of the crown prince.
He is now the prince's favorite gentleman. When the prince came back from Jiangnan a few years ago, he made a point of talking with Mr. Zhuang when they were discussing state affairs.
Of course, he didn't say what the emperor and his plans were, but he was just curious about what Mr. Zhuang thought about the family's control of the south of the Yangtze River, and even about the government.
Mr. Zhuang guessed some things when he was talking with him. In addition to Xu Yu's matter, his three disciples participated in almost the whole process.
This kind of policy is related to the future of the country, and he has two disciples who are from aristocratic families, so he naturally wants to communicate with them and give them some homework along the way.
Bai Shan paid attention to the prince's arrangements at that time, and then asked Mr. Zhuang curiously: "Why did your majesty and the prince start with salt and iron, instead of directly taking the officials and military power that the family placed in the south of the Yangtze River?"
After all, the emperor has quite a lot of military power. Except for a few important towns in the south of the Yangtze River, most of the military power in other places is in the hands of the emperor.
Mr. Zhuang said at the time: "Nearly 60% of the world's salt comes from Jiangnan. Once there is a military turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, it will inevitably affect the whole country. The world has only been stable for thirty years, and people's hearts are easy to fluctuate. Once the price of salt rises, I am afraid that everywhere There is a military riot. Your Majesty is right not to take the risk."
At that time, Bai Shan suddenly said, "Aren't officials and gentry not allowed to do business?"
After he finished speaking, he regretted it, and Mr. Zhuang happily assigned him a lot of homework, even Bai Erlang, who had no problems at all, was arrested to do the homework.
Although Man Bao escaped from the catastrophe because of his busy work and did not need to write articles himself, Mr. Zhuang still told her, "You are now an official in the court, and your brothers and sisters-in-law are working at home. Now your fourth brother is doing business. You are still young, and your household registration is still under your father's name, so you can't decide on a business registration, but in the future, when the business grows, even if your family is not separated, the Yamen will force your fourth brother to change the family, and all these are related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. For a very smart child, it is not enough to just learn medical skills, if you want to go further, you have to continue to study and learn more knowledge like Bai Shan Baicheng."
That's why they thought about this official's business affairs. Bai Shan and the others racked their brains for these two strategies. They only remembered it after a year of thinking, and they barely handed in their homework.
Bai Shandao: "This matter is so important, it is impossible to solve it overnight, we can only do it slowly, step by step first."
The emperor certainly didn't want to make too much trouble. After all, the world was in chaos back then, and all the families came out from the south of the Yangtze River to join the army to quell the chaos. Although their rebel army also followed, and the rebel army also helped, almost all the famous people in the world invested. Once again, there is also the formation of an army to fight for it.
But in the end, when the dust settled, they had indeed contributed a lot, and the emperor probably didn't want to leave a reputation of being mean and ungrateful.
Chang Yu couldn't forget one thing, "Then can I do business with Zhou Man?"
Man Bao has already become a treacherous minister, so he evaded: "It's not with me, it's with my niece!"
Changyu: "... If she is a man, she must be a treacherous minister. If she enters the harem, she will be the legendary treacherous concubine."
Bai Shan was unhappy, and said: "What she said is the truth, she didn't take part in any of her family's business, and left it all to her family. Besides, she's already engaged to me, and she's going to marry me, Bai Shan, Longzhou. What does her mother's business have to do with her?"
Man Bao and Bai Erlang looked at him together, amazed in their hearts, look at the perfect words of evasion, this is the standard for a treacherous minister.
Bai Shan glared at the two of them secretly, telling them to restrain themselves and not demolish their own positions.
The two of them bowed their heads together.
Changyu couldn't find a rebuttal, but Liu Huan nodded in agreement. Yin Yu and Mingda didn't speak, and they understood it most in their hearts.
During the silence, Man Bao quietly removed the pot from the stove, opened the lid, and the aroma gushed out. Everyone looked over, and the previously stagnant atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Chang Yu swallowed, and murmured: "This is the steamed meat made by your family."
Man Bao nodded, took out the steamed meat and put it on the table. Before she had time to introduce, there was a sound of footsteps, and several people turned their heads to look at the sound, and saw the prince striding towards him.
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted.
The prince went to the gazebo, glanced between them, waved his hand and said: "Excuse me." His eyes fell on the table and asked, "Where do these dishes come from?"
Man Bao replied in a low voice: "The Crown Princess ordered someone to prepare it, and the princesses also brought a dish?"
The prince saw that she was avoiding the important ones, so he simply pointed to the steaming steamed meat and asked, "Where did this come from?"
