Great Wei scholar

They could see His Majesty's intentions.

This is for real.

There was no chance to talk at all.

But the more this is the case, the more angry the officials are.

Some people sit withered and refuse to leave if they say no.

Some people frowned, got up and left, after all, the court meeting was over.

A third left, but two-thirds stayed in court.

None of the six books left.

As powerful ministers of the Great Wei, if they left, it would be a bit unseemly.

But everyone who left knows that.

Big Wei, another huge wave is about to be set off.

Oh, no, it was a huge wave.

And someone has already noticed that this matter has a great relationship with Xu Qingxiao.

This Xu Qingxiao.

It can really make things happen.

indeed.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

The news of Da Wei's establishment of an official business quickly spread.

Including Zhang Ruhui, a Beijing businessman, who was named a first-rank official and bestowed the title of Great Wei.

This incident, like a meteorite falling to the ground in the business world, spread throughout the business world of Great Wei in less than half an hour.

Countless information came from the capital of Great Wei.

It can be said that this official business matter is so shocking that no one cares about the eunuch's power.

Chapter 144 : All officials are furious!Never agree!Gu Yan scolded Xu Qingxiao angrily, but in the end...

News from the court.

It spread throughout the capital of Great Wei almost instantly.

The people started various discussions.

"Let a businessman become an official? Isn't this a big joke? It's impossible!"

"Yes, these businessmen are all cannibals. If they become officials, our people will suffer even more."

"It is absolutely impossible. It is impossible for a businessman to be an official. We absolutely cannot agree."

"Give priority to the major academies? Then what about the descendants of poor people like me?"

"That's right, major academies give priority to admission, that's not acceptable."

"I don't know who came up with such a bad idea."

"I guess it was proposed by the household department?"

"Master Xu is fully responsible, isn't it Master Xu who proposed it?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to collude with the businessman?"

The people discussed it, and their first reaction was not to agree, and they resolutely refused. They hated the businessman in the first place, and now they give the businessman an official position, and everyone must be unhappy.

So I am extremely opposed to it, and even check who came up with this bad idea.

Some people secretly said that it was promoted by Xu Qingxiao, with all kinds of rhythm, trying to make the people insult Xu Qingxiao.

But as soon as the words were finished, the people immediately came back to their senses.

"You fucking fart, this can't be promoted by Mr. Xu."

"That's right, how could it be launched by Mr. Xu? What Mr. Xu hates the most are these businessmen."

"Yes, yes, it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Xu to do it."

The common people did not believe that this was promoted by Xu Qingxiao.

But the next moment, after the announcement was posted, Xu Qingxiao's responsibility was confirmed.

"Look, I said it was Xu Qingxiao."

"Yes, it's Xu Qingxiao."

"I didn't expect him to collude with the businessman."

Someone spoke up and accused Xu Qingxiao.

Just immediately the voices of the people sounded again.

"You fucking fart, Master Xu is the one to take the blame, how could he do such a thing, you are really stupid, Master Xu has offended so many people, it is obvious that there is a dark hand in this matter, who wants to take the opportunity to mess with Master Xu. "

"Everyone, don't be fooled. We people all know who Master Xu is."

Someone shouted in support of Xu Qingxiao, and this kind of speech immediately received a large number of support.

"That's right, that's right, Mr. Xu can't be this kind of person."

"That's right, Mr. Xu is a clean and honest official, how could he do such a thing."

"I'm still wondering, Mr. Xu has done so many things and offended so many people, why no one troubles Mr. Xu, so they are here waiting for Mr. Xu."

"Everyone, let's not be fooled. Let's wait and see what happens. I feel that someone wants to take this opportunity to make us hate Mr. Xu. Let's say with conscience, Mr. Xu is dedicated to the people, will he harm us people?"

"Yes, let's talk about the water truck project. I went to Nanyu Mansion on purpose. Nanyu Mansion used to have a lot of barren fields, but now all of them are used. The water source is sufficient. Now Master Xu wants to mass-produce, but some treacherous ministers will We don’t want to see our Great Wei prosper and collude with the enemy, we can’t be fooled.”

"Support Master Xu, don't talk nonsense, ask yourself, how many great Confucian scholars speak for the people? Master Xu speaks for the people, if we misunderstand Master Xu and fall for the trick, then we are all sinners."

What I have to say is that Xu Qingxiao's public opinion in the capital is simply top-notch. As long as Xu Qingxiao does something, the people will unconditionally support and believe in it, but if someone slanders Mr. Xu, they will absolutely not allow it.

Whoever said Mr. Xu was not good, wanted to harm Xu Qingxiao.

All of a sudden, some people secretly had mixed feelings. They wanted to play Xu Qingxiao's rhythm and make the people spurn him, but they found that it didn't work at all.

As long as you say that Xu Qingxiao is not good, a group of people will immediately come to trouble you.

How to play this?No way at all.

The discussions among the common people have basically fallen into an endless loop.

The event appears.

Is it Xu Qingxiao?

Yes or no?

no?Then curse to death.

yes?You are lying, you have a problem, come on, this guy dares to insult me, Mr. Xu, all the people, catch this person and send him to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, how dare he slander the imperial court officials.

These are the two results.

Many people are tired, spreading rumors on weekdays, with rhythm, without any pressure.

But when it was their turn to spread rumors about Xu Qingxiao, everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't even accept Xu Qingxiao's work. It wasn't because they weren't brave enough, the main reason was that these people really knew how to arrest people.

Who can stand this?

And at the same time.

There were also many voices in the capital of Great Wei.

Inside the secret room.

The three of King Huaining were sitting, and King Zhenxi had already gone back. He is a vassal king and cannot stay in the capital for long.

"Xu Qingxiao is really stupid. He actually opened up an official path for businessmen and wanted to sell his official position to make money. Why is he called a great talent of all ages? A three-year-old child can't think of such an idea? What's even more ridiculous is , Hun Jun actually agreed, it’s ridiculous.”

"Well, Xu Qingxiao sells her official position to earn money to make up for the lack of money in the water truck project. The consent of the foolish emperor is enough to prove that she is a foolish emperor."

The two spoke and sneered in turn.

But Prince Huaining didn't smile, but frowned.

"This stupid lord would rather sell his officials than promote the waterwheel project. Are you still not vigilant?"

Prince Huaining said so.

His mind is still on the waterwheel project. The Great Wei Dynasty created a strange story through the ages, and openly sold officials to businessmen. If it gets out, it will be embarrassing.

The empress is not stupid, but she insists on doing so, which proves that the empress cares a lot about this waterwheel project.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be the case.

Sell ​​an official?This is simply a big joke. No matter how poor Wei was, Emperor Wu failed in the Northern Expedition, and the country was extremely poor, so he never thought of selling officials.

In the end, the empress actually agreed. Although she said that she would not give businessmen power in the name, she still sold officials in the end.

What's even more amazing is that the empress actually allowed the descendants of merchants to be admitted to major academies first, which can completely arouse public outrage.

The common people were miserable, and hoped to train a descendant who would be able to stand up by studying. As a result, the descendants of businessmen could be admitted first, and the number of students admitted by major academies was limited.

If you make such a priority, how can the people not be angry?

"King Huaining, I understand what you said, but the problem is, once this matter is completed, how many merchants in the world are willing to give money, can't afford ten million taels, can't you pay back 1 taels?" ? How to stop this?"

"Yeah, this waterwheel project is almost inevitable. What can we do? Can we stop her?"

"The matter of selling officials involves the country, the country, and even shakes the foundation of the country. It is a good thing for us. I don't agree to stop it."

The two were a little curious and looked at Prince Huaining.

It's not that they don't understand, but that they know that the waterwheel project has indeed helped Wei, but so what?Now that the Empress is openly selling her officials, what can they do?

You say stop it, how to stop it?The Great Wei Empress made a mistake on her own initiative, so it is impossible for you to remind her, right?

So what did they become?

Brother, we are going to rebel. I wish the Empress would be a little stupid. Now that she makes mistakes on her own initiative, you still have to remind her. Aren’t you sick?

The two answered in this way, and Prince Huaining couldn't help thinking.

Indeed, the most troublesome thing about the waterwheel is the silver issue, but the Great Wei Empress actually did a stupid thing and wanted to sell her official position.

For civil and military officials, this is not a good thing.

But for them, it's a good thing.

Don't want to stop.

If it is not stopped, the waterwheel project will inevitably be carried out. This is a dilemma, and they also have a headache.

Prince Huaining remained silent.

He glanced at the two of them and knew their inner thoughts in an instant.

Obviously, they were hoping that something would happen to the Empress, and they made this wrong move.

But he understands better than anyone else that the waterwheel project must never be carried out, so it is impossible for him to let the empress take such a move.

Although he wanted it in his heart, he didn't want it to be at this time, nor did he want it to be because of this reason.

It's just that he didn't continue to speak.

The reason is also very simple, because it is impossible for the six departments to agree, and it is impossible for the generals to agree.

In a word, why agree?Let businessmen have official positions?Can they take it?Can the generals stand it?

Especially the Confucian students of the Great Wei Wen Palace. To be honest, the annual number of places in the academy is not enough. Why give priority to the descendants of these businessmen?Isn't this the biggest joke in the world?

Cheating is strictly prohibited in the imperial examination itself, and this kind of back door thing is even more strictly prohibited.

Will those great Confucianists agree?If they agreed, would they still dare to call themselves Great Confucians?

So he kept silent, because this matter was simply impossible, and he didn't panic at all.

So what if Xu Qingxiao stepped forward?
