But Qin Jiyan was satisfied, but the secret guard was not.
With the regulations in place, the Minister of Hubu no longer ran around like a headless fly. Even though his body was exhausted, his spirit was very high. As soon as he left the palace, he returned to the Hubu and summoned subordinate officials to discuss the specific agenda.
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue did not dare to ask any more questions, nor did he dare to say more. He hurriedly said that this method was very good, and he would go back to arrange the matter immediately, and promised that it would be done well.
Compared with the methods of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue and others, Gu Qiancheng's approach was obviously much gentler, and he turned passive into proactive, allowing merchants to take the initiative to deliver goods to their doorsteps, and also saved the court a lot of money.
Every time he saw Qin Jiyan, the secret guard complained and swallowed.
They only know that officials have their orders, and no businessman dares to disobey them. But they don't know that businessmen are very profit-oriented. If they follow their own methods, forcibly collecting grain or recruiting criminals and putting them in jail, they will only cause panic and dissatisfaction.
With the shadow of Master Ziche beside the emperor, they have no use at all. There was no use for them with that tough man Tang Wanjin beside Miss Gu.
But I thought about it, but couldn't show it on my face, "Xihu and Northern Qi are short of food all year round. It would be too cruel for us to rob Xihu of food and support war with war." When an emperor, even if he wants to be cruel, he can't say it himself. Come out, otherwise you will lose your reputation as a tyrant.
Although the three methods proposed by the Minister of Revenue and others are all too simple and crude, they can indeed solve the problem. Especially the last one, Qin Jiyan can be said to have adopted it.
However, the method mentioned by Gu Qiancheng only has one general direction, and the specific details still need to be negotiated by people from the Ministry of Household Affairs. During the implementation process, the interests of many people will inevitably be harmed. This is by no means a simple matter.
Therefore, when Qin Jiyan said the first two words, his tone was much softer, "Grain is in the hands of big grain merchants. If you want grain, you must buy it from them. Your idea is not wrong, but your method is wrong." .”
Qin Jiyan received the news from the secret guard and nodded with satisfaction.
As soon as the secret guard left, General Feng and Feng Yao entered the palace to ask for a meeting. The grandfather and grandson were here to report on the follow-up affairs of Taiyuan. Qin Jiyan looked at the clock and sighed softly.
They are the secret guards who protect the emperor, and they are the strongest secret guards. They were trained to protect their master, not to monitor the court ministers. The emperor was overqualified and overqualified, and they felt aggrieved. But…
The Feng family could only guard the few troops and horses on the Northern Qi border. Any more would destroy the balance. Even if he, the emperor, agrees, his subordinates will not agree...
Qin Jiyan is not a kind person at heart. Although he is not wary, he is not afraid of bloodshed. The idea of robbing Xihu and Northern Qi of grain and grass brought up by the Minister of Household Affairs did not suit Qin Jiyan's heart, but it still scratched his itch, making Qin Jiyan reluctant to refuse.
That's two crimes and punished at the same time. The Minister of Household Affairs is waiting to have his house confiscated!
I really don’t know how thick-skinned they are to say such things. It’s so shameless.
These are civil servants. They are obviously robbing, but they can talk about it in a high-sounding way, which makes people feel embarrassed. Sometimes even Qin Jiyan admires the shamelessness of these officials.
"My dear, what you said makes sense. I still feel that something is wrong with this matter. We will discuss it again at the court meeting in two days." Qin Jiyan was telling them that he agreed with this method, but he could not accept it from the person who is the emperor. What was said was that they needed to formally raise the matter in the morning.
Although Qin Jiyan was not on duty in the Sixth Department, he was very clear about the work of the Sixth Department. Knowing how to implement this matter was difficult. Without an experienced person to guard it, things might not be done well, so Qin Jiyan waved his hand. , fulfilled the wish of the Minister of Household Affairs and made him fully responsible for this matter.
As a first-class undercurrent, he finally became a spy. His role was the same as that of the Wu Family Anbu. The secret guard expressed his sadness. What's even more sad is that they have to continue to keep an eye on the officials in the Ministry of Revenue to prevent them from messing around or spreading news that shouldn't be spread.
Qin Jiyan did not directly tell Gu Qiancheng's solution. Instead, he first told the harm that would occur if he forced the merchants, and finally told Gu Qiancheng's solution.
This is an opportunity, an opportunity for him to make a comeback. Shangshu Hubu knew very well that only their new emperor would give him a chance when he made such a big mistake. If it were the Supreme Emperor who was in power and such a big mistake happened, he would have to take the blame. Waiting to be dismissed and inspected.
Since there was no way to accompany Gu Qiancheng for dinner, Qin Jiyan simply put all the things together and said, "Go, let Prince Xuanping Xijun enter the palace."
At the end, he added: "My capable minister is not even as good as a woman."
Don’t women’s vision always lie in the back house, thinking about how to compete for favor? How do you know this
However, Qin Jiyan was very satisfied at the moment.
It had been three hours, and he even said he was looking for Gu Qiancheng to have dinner, but now it seemed there was no hope.
Feng Yao is looking for a big one in Xihu. If he wants to start a war against Xihu, it is best to find Feng Yao as a consultant. As for letting Feng Yao lead the army? Qin Jiyan never thought of this possibility.
"Woman? Did a woman come up with this idea?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance thought it was Feng Sijin, or some businessman who came up with the idea, but he didn't expect it to be a woman.
By then, merchants would not dare to do business and would flee Da Qin one after another. What would happen to Da Qin’s business? How do goods flow between the north and the south
Status determines the direction of thinking. Businessmen have a low status and usually flatter and please officials. Therefore, these officials have never thought about problems from the perspective of businessmen, nor have they thought that businessmen will resist if they are forced to do so.
If this matter is done well, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue can still save his life even if he cannot keep his official position. What if he does not do it well
"The emperor's kindness is a blessing to the people of the world, but... Xihu and Northern Qi are ambitious and eyeing our Daqin. The emperor's kindness to them is cruel to the people of Daqin. Furthermore, Xihu and Northern Qi often harass the people on our border and rob the people of the border. Food and property have caused misery to the people on the border. Please allow the emperor to allow the soldiers to help the people on the border get back their stolen property and food." Several officials next to the Minister of Household Affairs immediately stepped forward and spoke righteously. said.
"I didn't think carefully, please forgive me." Harmony between monarch and minister means that as a minister, you always understand what the emperor wants, and then do whatever it takes to achieve it for the emperor. Just like now, several ministers understand what Qin Jiyan means. No matter what Qin Jiyan says at the court meeting, these ministers will argue with reason and make things go in the direction Qin Jiyan envisions.
Qin Jiyan said nothing, but glanced coldly at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. The look in his eyes made people lower their heads and step back involuntarily.
