Great Wei scholar

With the sound of a bell, everyone was startled.

The first person to startle was King Huaining in the Palace of King Huaining.

In the lobby, King Huaining stood up, his old face showing shock, looking at the position of the palace, his body trembled violently.

"Zhen Guozhong, this is Zhen Guozhong, this Xu Qingxiao, how can he win the hearts of the people in the world? Who is he?"

King Huaining said these words almost in a growling voice.

Great Wei has two artifacts for the country.

Taizu long sword, this is the weapon of Emperor Taizu, accompanied Taizu to conquer the world, finally quelled the turmoil, established the Great Wei Dynasty, condensed the national destiny, and possessed terrifying power.

The Zhenguo Bell is an artifact created by Emperor Wen of the Five Dynasties. Because of the great prosperity of the Wei Dynasty and the strong fortune of the country, the bell was cast to Zhenguo, which represents the hearts of the people in the world. Coming on behalf of the prosperous age, if there are five rings, it means that the Great Wei has ushered in the most prosperous time.

If there are seven rings, it means that the Great Wei surpassed all the dynasties in ancient and modern times. If there are nine rings, the Great Wei will rule the world. Of course, there is also a possibility that a saint was born in this world.

Now that the Zhenguo bell is ringing, it means that Xu Qingxiao has won the hearts of the people of Wei.

Xu Qingxiao's speech did not attract the vision of heaven and earth, but it did attract the ringing of the national bell, which meant that Xu Qingxiao had won the hearts of the people.

For King Huaining, Xu Qingxiao's threat instantly increased by more than a hundred times.

I am a person who wants to rebel, what is the most afraid of rebellion?Isn't it just that people's hearts are not going well?

Still the same sentence, if the people in the world eat and drink well, whoever rebels will die.

Unless it is an absolute force to suppress, the problem is that they do not have absolute force and have the capital to rebel, but it is unknown whether they will be able to succeed.

But following Xu Qingxiao's statement today, the situation turned around in an instant.

"I regret handing over the soldier talisman."

King Huaining let out a whining sound, the most uncomfortable thing for him now is not Xu Qingxiao's winning the hearts of the people.

Instead, he handed over the Qilin soldier talisman by himself.

Originally, according to his idea, handing over the Qilin soldier talisman to the empress would bring trouble to the empress and cause the empress to make mistakes, and then he could win over other hesitant vassal kings to rebel together.

There was nothing wrong with the plan, but something happened to Xu Qingxiao.

A Xu Qingxiao who won the hearts of the people of Wei.

Xu Qingxiao won the hearts of the people of Great Wei. Once the vassal king rebelled, as long as Xu Qingxiao came forward, the common people might not agree at all, and if they did not have the hearts of the people, it would be a big trouble for them.

The Qilin soldier talisman and Xu Qingxiao's voice for the common people instantly reversed the situation from [-]-[-] to [-]-[-].

If this is the case, those vassal kings who were already hesitant will hesitate even more, and those vassal kings who have not made up their minds to join may also hesitate.

This is a great difficulty.

He regrets it.

Regretting why I handed over the unicorn soldier talisman, I am really stupid, I am really deceived by lard.

Great Wei Palace.

Chen Zhengru looked at the court of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the ringing of the Zhenguo bell still echoed in his ears.

"I am the only torch."

Chen Zhengru's voice sounded, he muttered to himself, his gaze was turned away from the Wei court, and then fell on Xu Qingxiao.

His eyes were full of approval. Xu Qingxiao spoke for the common people, somewhat similar to him. He spoke for Great Wei, and hoped that one day, Great Wei could return to its heyday.

And Xu Qingxiao has the same meaning for the common people.

In the palace of literature, all the great scholars were a little silent. If they said that they looked down on Xu Qingxiao before, it was because Xu Qingxiao was only at the seventh rank.

Before the seventh rank, no matter how fast you are, it's nothing more than that, it's nothing more than a good talent.

And starting from the seventh rank, the improvement of each rank is a qualitative change, making a statement, writing a book, which one is not worth paying attention to?

Especially this person is Xu Qingxiao.

After careful calculation, Xu Qingxiao has only been in school for three or four months, and he has already reached the sixth rank.

If this continues like this, won't Xu Qingxiao be promoted to a Confucian scholar within this year?

If this is the case, Xu Qingxiao really has the qualifications of a saint.

If Xu Qingxiao really writes a book this year and becomes a Confucian, then they have to admit Xu Qingxiao's talent, they have to admit that Xu Qingxiao has the qualifications of a saint.

There is nothing reconciled, except for a few great Confucians, in fact, most of the Confucian scholars don't have much opinion on Xu Qingxiao.

Such as Chen Xin, such as Chen Zhengru, and even great Confucians who have opinions on Xu Qingxiao, most of them are due to preconceived reasons.

It is disrespectful for Xu Qingxiao's eighth-rank Confucian scholar to anger a great Confucianist, and then he even created a school, trying to overthrow Zhu Sheng's lineage, how could they not be angry?How not to be angry?

But if Xu Qingxiao becomes a saint step by step, then all these opinions will disappear, because Confucianists are recognized by heaven and earth, and it is useless for them not to agree, as long as heaven and earth approve.

Xu Qingxiao's statement was of great significance. At this moment, the Confucian scholars of the Great Wei Palace had a real understanding of Xu Qingxiao.

And in the palace.

The Empress stood up and looked in the direction of the Zhen Guo Bell, appearing silent.

Li Guangxiao stood up with joy on his face.

"Xu Qingxiao speaks for the common people, this step really reverses the situation."

Li Guangxiao was delighted. He had been thinking about the affairs of the vassal princes in various places during this time, but the current situation was not good for the Empress.

But now it's different, Xu Qingxiao speaks for the people, has a very high status among the people, and can perfectly contain these vassal kings.

Especially now that the Empress controls the Shenji Battalion and the Qilin Army, and cooperates with Xu Qingxiao, the previous disadvantage has turned into a draw in an instant.

This is a great thing.

"Send my will!"

"Xu Qingxiao speaks out for the common people, and is actually the pillar of the country. Canonize Xu Qingxiao'an Minjue, the title of Viscount, appoint the servant of the household department, the official residence of the fourth rank, build the noble mansion, reward ten maidservants, 5000 taels of gold and silver, various kinds of jade, and five noble clothes. One set, two sets of royal supplies."

When the empress opened her mouth, she directly proclaimed the decree and directly appointed her as a knight.

The head of the household department jumps directly from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, and directly appoints the servant of the household department. From the fourth rank, the upgrade speed is also frighteningly fast.

But the most important thing is the knighthood.

What is a knighthood?It represents a kind of status, an official position is an official position, a title is a title, and having a title means that Xu Qingxiao is a dignitary of the Great Wei, even though he is a viscount.

But Xu Qingxiao was only 20 years old, and he was made a viscount. Even the prime minister, Chen Zhengru, did not have a title in the court.

In the officialdom, Xu Qingxiao had to call Chen Zhengru a prime minister or a minister.

On weekdays, Chen Zhengru had to call Xu Qingxiao, Lord Viscount.

This is the importance of titles.

Completed the identity change.

Outside the Ministry of Punishment.

The eyes of the three ministers could not help but fall on Xu Qingxiao.

Gu Yan remained silent. He is the Minister of the Household Department. Xu Qingxiao made a statement today. He has not only won the title, but also has been promoted, and has also won the hearts of the people. The future Wei, Xu Qingxiao must be a shining light.

Zhang Jing and Zhou Yan were silent, they were just amazed, what Xu Qingxiao did was more and more dangerous every time, but he managed to save himself from danger again and again, this person is really a monster.

King Zhenxi was completely silent, because he knew that the general situation was over.

Beams of faint rays of light condensed from the common people and submerged into Xu Qingxiao's body.

This is what the people want.

Every beam of faint light comes from a commoner. It seems weak, but gathered together, it reflects Xu Qingxiao like a sage.

But at this moment, Xu Qingxiao inexplicably felt that this ocean-like public opinion could enhance his Confucianism and Taoism.

Yes, the talents gained from writing An Guoce at the beginning were basically exhausted. Later, I also gained a lot of talents when I wrote the preface to Nanyu Pavilion and the famous sayings through the ages, but just now I was directly exhausted when I wrote the words of the sixth rank.

There is even a part of it, but with the support of the people's support, he has reached the sixth rank like a bamboo.

After the seventh grade of Confucianism and Taoism, the first grade and the first heaven, I have succeeded in making a statement now, but if I want to become a great Confucian, it definitely does not mean that if I write a peerless book now, I can become a great Confucian immediately.

You still need the blessing of talent, you are qualified to break through the ranks if you have talent, and you are qualified to become a great Confucian by writing books.

Under normal circumstances, if a Confucian who stands up to words wants to become a great Confucian, it will take decades, or even decades, to accumulate talent alone.

But Xu Qingxiao discovered that public opinion can actually replace talent and bless it in her body, saving this link.

This means that if you have enough public opinion, as long as you have good books, you can become a great Confucianist in an instant, eliminating the need for this accumulation link.

For me, this is simply a great thing.

After all, I don't lack anything, except that I don't lack famous poems, writing and writing poems is no problem, but it is still difficult to accumulate talents with peerless articles and poems.

Because it will keep decreasing, if you write one poem through the ages, you will have a lot of talent, but when you write a thousand poems through the ages, you will not have much talent, and it will take a lot of time to accumulate, because your poems will gradually spread.

Only in this way can you gradually increase your talent, otherwise you can directly become stronger by reading a poem, is this possible?

But public opinion is fine, public opinion is endless, Xu Qingxiao can feel that as long as he does practical things for the people, he can get a lot of public opinion, and these public opinions can make him quickly break through Confucianism and Taoism.

Even sanctification is not impossible.

While this is an exaggeration, there is nothing wrong with it in theory.

Take a deep breath.

Xu Qingxiao withdrew all distracting thoughts, he bowed to the people, and the crowd watching also bowed to Xu Qingxiao in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Qingxiao looked at King Zhenxi.

"My lord, do you have anything else to say?"

Xu Qingxiao asked calmly.

King Zhenxi has nothing to say. Xu Qingxiao has already made a statement, and he is dedicated to serving the people. What else can he say?Besides, I really want to become the target of public criticism.

"Xu Qingxiao, I hope you will really sing all the way."

King Zhenxi spoke, he left an intriguing remark, then turned and left.

He had already lost this battle, and he lost badly, so staying here would only add to the jokes.

Seeing King Zhenxi leave, Xu Qingxiao set his sights on these fan merchants again.

Sensing Xu Qingxiao's gaze, the group of merchants spoke again.

"Master Xu, we promise, we promise."

"Master Xu, we are willing to pay taxes, as much as we want."

They shouted in a hurry, seeing King Zhenxi leave, they were also relieved in their hearts, if King Zhenxi stayed here, they really didn't know what would happen.

"Words are unsubstantiated, signatures and drawings are evidence."

Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth, and then asked someone to list the written documents that had been prepared. The rules and regulations on it were clearly written. The three-year tax payment will be [-]% of the tax, and after the previous year, [-]% of the tax will be collected.

The fan merchants hardly hesitated, and directly signed on it. Not only them, Xu Qingxiao asked the entire Kyoto fan merchants, and even the entire Wei fan merchants to sign, but this big project can only be done after the end.

Let these people sign first.

An hour later.

After all the fan merchants signed and pledged, Xu Qingxiao continued to say the third rule.

"Thirdly, from now on, when you do business, you will make written receipts for purchases and shipments. One copy for the common people, one copy for you, and one copy for the household department. The monthly account books must be sent to the household department for accounting and investigation. , must cooperate with the investigation as soon as possible, if any account is incorrect and cannot be answered, it will be regarded as tax evasion and will be severely punished.”

"Everyone, if you buy something from Fanshang in the future, you must leave a receipt. If you have a receipt, if you buy a fake product, the Ministry of Criminal Investigation will file a case for investigation, and a fake one will be fined ten, and the store will unilaterally compensate you. But if you don't have a receipt , Even if you are cheated of thousands of taels of silver, the Criminal Ministry will never hold you accountable!"

"From then on, it's not the law to stop women from doing business, but it's on everyone, and the common people should supervise them carefully, and don't let this kind of thing happen again."

Xu Qingxiao said the third rule, and also told the common people to buy and sell Fanshang's things in the future, they must leave a receipt, even if it is a penny, there must be a receipt, as long as you have a receipt, if you think it is unfair, you can go to the Criminal Ministry to file a case. If you don't have a receipt, even if you are really cheated, it's your own problem, and the Criminal Department doesn't care.

As soon as this rule was mentioned, Gu Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, could not help but show a bright light in his eyes.

He didn't expect that Xu Qingxiao's real ultimate move was this.

To be honest, Xu Qingxiao made such a big fuss just to collect taxes and pay taxes. He is not particularly optimistic about paying taxes.

Once the vitality is restored, there must be various ways to find ways and various loopholes. When the time comes to actually let him pay taxes, it must be a lot of trouble.

But Xu Qingxiao actually used this trick to block the retreat of these fan merchants.

There must be three copies of receipts for purchase and delivery, one for yourself, one for the household department, and one for the common people. accounting.

Have you ever played tricks? You will know right away. Of course, you can also sell things without giving a receipt, but the question is, will the people agree?Who can guarantee that there will be no problems with things that cost dozens of taels of silver?
