The final result was that Mingyun and Mingjing won. Mingteng and others thought they had the advantage and completely forgot that Mingyun was almost the top scorer and was good at everything. It was just as Mingyun said that he chose Mingjing because he didn't want to bully others.
Mingjing is the one who wins every time. She accompanies her uncle the whole time to watch the battle between the eldest brother and the other brothers.
Liu Feng and Wang Wei lasted the longest, followed by Mingrui and Minghui. Mingteng and Mingjia were the first to be eliminated, as Mingfeng was too young to be eliminated.
Ming Teng hugged Ming Feng and said, "It's so tragic, so tragic."
Wang Wei and Liu Feng were a little bit discouraged. They worked so hard. They knew that the last gold list was brutal. They also knew that their brother-in-law who fought his way to the second place was awesome, but they also kept working hard.
Mingyun happily accepted the bet, his salary was too little, even with the monthly allowance, his life was already tight. He had finally waited until the New Year to kill the rich man, and next year there would be a younger one, he could not be soft-hearted for the sake of money!
Mingyun's eyes sparkled. Liufeng bet the least, so Wang Wei considered Liufeng as the one who bet. Mingteng had a mountain of gold and silver ingots. Mingrui and Mingjia also had money.
Mingyun collected the silver. No matter how excited he was, his face remained calm. "Are you coming again?"
Ming Teng twitched his lips. Is this what grandma meant by an IQ crush? Big brother could answer such a tricky question, "You think we are stupid."
Mingyun gave his brother a look that said he was not smart anyway.
Ming Teng, "..."
This is the eldest brother, the real brother, okay, he can’t win the argument, but he doesn’t dare to use violence!
Ming Jing smiled happily, "Brother, where is my money?"
Mingyun turned his head and asked, "Did you say a word just now?"
"No, nothing."
Mingyun hummed and stopped looking at Mingjing.
Ming Jing's face changed instantly, and she pointed at her elder brother, "Ah, ah, elder brother, you are lying. You didn't choose me to bully others. You just want to take all the money for yourself!"
Chang Zhong laughed, "You're not stupid enough!"
Ming Teng also laughed, the little fool just realized it.
Minghui couldn't help laughing and hugged Mingjing, "You only have some talent in studying, but you are still stupid in other aspects."
Next door, Zhou Shuren and his sons also heard the noise from the other side, and then Ming Jing's angry voice, "Brother is bullying others, let's beat him up!"
Boss Zhou didn't have a firm hand on the cards, and now that his youngest son was so bold, he didn't even dare to beat his eldest son!
Chang Yi smiled and said, "No one dared to do it."
At this time, the door opened and Mingjing ran over, "Dad, look at your eldest son, he swallowed my money."
He was really angry. How happy he was at the beginning, how angry he was now!
Boss Zhou patted his youngest son's head lovingly, and Changzhi laughed, "Your father wouldn't dare."
Zhou Shuren coughed. Does he no longer have a sense of presence now
Mingjing looked at his father in disappointment. Yes, his father was an absolutely loving father in front of his eldest brother. "Grandpa, my eldest brother bullied me."
Zhou Shuren happily took the little fat boy's hand and said, "Come on, grandpa will help you find a place."
Zhou Lao Da and his brothers looked at each other and wondered why their dad didn't play with them anymore. Because they were playing very small games now, what about Ming Jing, that silly boy!
The final result was that Zhulan twisted Zhou Shuren's ear and said, "You are really promising. You actually bully your grandson."
Mingjing cried so hard that even the money didn't stop her.
Zhou Shuren also felt wronged, "Hasn't the money been returned?"
"You still have a point?"
Zhou Shuren smiled apologetically, "Ah, I just want to tell them that there are always people out there and they shouldn't get too cocky."
Zhulan was furious, and her old face turned red today, mainly because there was a grandson's wife and a grandson's wife!
Zhou Shuren thought that the first court meeting after the New Year would be the same as in previous years. Nothing major would happen and it would end quickly. However, after hearing someone’s memorial, the ministers who were attending the morning court became alert.
Cheng shuddered when he was looked at by everyone, but he gritted his teeth and endured the shudder. "The grassland tribes came to Beijing for a few days. I was responsible for receiving the grassland tribes. The grassland tribes asked me about the food and grass. The grassland tribes no longer believed my words. I am really incompetent."
Zhou Shuren raised an eyebrow. Before the New Year, the grassland tribes did not cause any trouble when they came to Beijing, but they were rude at the beginning of the new year. I just don't know whether Lord Cheng accepted benefits or did it at the emperor's instruction. It should be the emperor's instruction, otherwise Lord Cheng would not be so stupid to attend the first court meeting of the new year.
The emperor pondered, "You all have heard what Mr. Cheng said. What do you think?"
This matter has never been brought up in the court. The emperor has been suppressing it, and all the ministers have remained silent. They all know the news, and the emperor's intentions are too obvious. It is obvious that he does not want to give, or will not give much, otherwise he would have brought it up for discussion long ago.
Zhou Shuren twitched his lips. Why are you all looking at him
The emperor's gaze then fell on Zhou Shuren, and it was hard for Zhou Shuren not to feel it.
Zhou Shuren cursed in his heart, then stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, the treasury is short of money, and the Ministry of Revenue has no money."
The emperor rolled his eyes in his heart. It had been a long time since he heard someone complain about being poor. He missed it. "Taxes have been good in recent years."
Zhou Shuren had an expression that said that if everyone didn't care about money, they wouldn't know how hard it was for the housekeeper. "Your Majesty, the country collects a lot of taxes and the court spends a lot. I remember every expense clearly. I really don't have any money."
It's the beginning of the new year, and everyone is waiting to ask him for money. Every penny is a big expense. The expenses at the beginning of the year are the most painful!
The emperor sighed, "In recent years, our country has had friendly relations with the grassland tribes. It would be unreasonable not to help. I said that the court has no money, but the grassland tribes did not believe me!"
Zhou Shuren didn't even need to look at the emperor before continuing, "I will use the data to persuade the grassland tribes. It's not that our country doesn't want to help, but we really can't afford the money."
Zhou Shuren paused and continued, "Although I don't have money to help, I can send some books. Books are the best place to find a beautiful woman. I think temporary help can never solve the fundamental problem. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. This is the right way."
Your Majesty, "..."
He was very happy that Zhou Shuren knew how to cooperate with him without notifying him, but this idea was too mean. Aren't you indirectly mocking others for being uneducated and needing to study
Rongchuan couldn't help but cough to prevent himself from laughing out loud. He knew that his father was still angry, and he felt relieved when he heard these words.
Zhou Shuren added, "It is important to start educating people early, so as to avoid generations of people being disappointed."
I didn’t say the rest, everyone knows what it means, and generation after generation only knows how to plunder.
The court was a little too quiet. What he said was too heartbreaking. If these tribal princes were in the court, they would definitely be furious.
The prince's eyes were full of stars, every word hurt him. He had always heard from his grandfather and father that Minister Zhou had a vicious tongue, and it was true.
Censor Bao wanted to step forward to refute, saying that our Celestial Empire should be magnanimous. However, just as he was about to move, Lord Lin behind him secretly pulled him.
Censor Bao was stunned for a moment, frowning as he looked at Lord Lin. Lord Lin had an innocent look on his face, and they missed the opportunity to make eye contact.
The emperor cleared his throat and said, "We will discuss this matter later. I am adjourning the court."
After he finished speaking, the emperor took the prince and left. They left so quickly. The ministers looked at each other in confusion. What did the emperor mean
