Rebirth: Lie down with the system

Chapter 42 His Royal Highness the Crown Prince

It was a coincidence that before Shi Qing could find the emperor, Murong He summoned him first.

Shi Qing did not let Murong Li follow him and strictly told him to practice well.

Murong Li felt that they were no longer number one since they found out that Shi Qing had wet the bed.

Regardless of his depressed look, Shi Qing tidied up and went to the imperial study. He didn't know what his Majesty wanted to see him for.

There have been many changes in three years, and so has His Majesty, not in appearance, but in mental state.

Now the annual potato production can make people all over the country no longer hungry. Surplus grains are also sent to the border areas. Three million taels of silver are also collected from the annual auction. It can be said that it has solved a large part of His Majesty's finances. crisis.

After the crisis was over, people became energetic. I heard that they still had time to practice calligraphy and painting.

Entering the royal study, there was not only His Majesty, but also a gentle man wearing a brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns.

"Greetings to your majesty, may your majesty be safe!"

"Get up, but I haven't seen you for a while, and I've grown a lot taller!"

Murong He watched Shi Qing grow from a child to a handsome young man, his temperament becoming more and more worldly. It was such a pity that he had such peerless wisdom but ignored world affairs.

He pointed at the man and said, "This is my Crown Prince Murong Jin. Every year when you leave the customs, the Crown Prince will patrol various places with the officials to inspect the performance of each official. This year, the time has been specially adjusted for you to meet him. Otherwise, he will not be able to meet you." I don???t know when you will get to know each other.???

Shi Qing bowed to the man and said, "It is rude of Shi Qing to meet His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince is busy with palace affairs every day. Shi Qing should have visited earlier."

The prince also knew that although Shi Qing was young, he was deeply valued by his father, so he did not ask for help and hurriedly helped Shi Qing up.

"Shi Qing doesn't need to be polite. My father has watched you grow up and has already regarded you as his own son. Why don't you call me Brother Jin!"

Murong He saw that the prince was so friendly to Shi Qing and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's how it should be. Shi Qing, don't be too formal. My children are all your brothers, so don't be too indifferent to your own brothers."

When the emperor said this, Shi Qing could only nod in agreement.

"I wonder if your Majesty summoned Shiqing to come here for something?"

When it came to business, Murong He also became serious.

"Now people everywhere can have enough to eat, and the national treasury is getting richer day by day, but the six major families are starting to make moves!

I believe you haven't forgotten what happened to the Zheng family at the border three years ago. At that time, I only punished a few people in the army who colluded with the Zheng family to deter them.

Now three years have passed. Seeing the rise of my Murong family, the six aristocratic families are beginning to be unable to sit still. This time the prince inspected and found that the Han family, the head of the six aristocratic families, relied on its status among the literati to spread unfavorable remarks about the royal family.

If I take action against these people who spread rumors, the literati in the world will definitely feel cold. If they are encouraged again, I am afraid that it will arouse criticism and resistance among the literati.

I know that you are very wise, so I want to ask your opinion! "

The Han family...Ali's mother's family! It seems that there is no intention for Ali at all in being so public.

The emperor first attacked the Han family, but he really didn't worry about Ali...

Both families are not good people! Shi Qing was stunned.

He didn't want to get involved in the imperial power dispute, especially if it involved Ali's relatives.

But now the emperor has asked, if he refuses, will it bring trouble to Ali, thinking that Ali has some connection with the Han family.

It would be best to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, which would satisfy the emperor and not cause too much harm to the Han family.

Wait until you go back and ask Ali about his attitude before thinking about anything else!

Shi Qing's mind started to move rapidly. After a while, his eyes lit up and he thought of a way.

"Your Majesty, Shi Qing really thought of a way! Rumors stop at the wise. Although we can't make all the people become wise, we can publish all the information that the people care about in one newspaper. This prevents the people below from spreading rumors. , cannot well understand His Majesty???s will.???

"Secondly, we can also publish various news and advertisements in newspapers and periodicals, and earn advertising fees from businessmen to expand the national treasury."

Murong He also became interested after hearing this. This method was very novel, but he had to ask clearly how to do it.

"Although you said you can earn that advertising fee, the cost of paper alone is not low, and the newspaper you mentioned should be printed in many copies, otherwise it will be no different from that notice.

Moreover, if the royal family wanted to purchase a large amount of paper, it would have to go through the Han family. The Han family mastered the methods of making paper. "

"I've thought about this too. I happen to have a papermaking method here, but Shi Qing doesn't know much about it. I can only ask your Majesty to find craftsmen to develop it myself!"

Papermaking is the exclusive secret technique of the Han family, which they have always controlled. The Han family makes a lot of money every year by selling paper. Now the Murong family also has a papermaking technique. Look how arrogant the Han family is!

Murong He almost burst out laughing. Shi Qing was indeed the lucky star of the Murong family. Every time there was a problem, he could solve it easily!

Murong He didn't care whether the newspaper business could be successful or not. He was happy just by making paper.

While he was happy, Shi Qing also mentioned that he wanted to find a teacher for Ali.

Only then did Murong He realize that the Han family he was dealing with was the mother family of his fourth son, but a prince was obviously insignificant in front of the imperial power. He had no feelings for the fourth prince in the first place. For Shi Qing's sake, he was still a teacher. What can be provided.

"Indeed, the fourth prince has been practicing with you in the past few years. Now that he has grown up, he really needs the guidance of a teacher. In this way, let Xu Shida from the Hanlin Academy teach him. He once served as the young master of the Imperial Academy. He is a decent man and knowledgeable. I think he will definitely become a master. Teach the fourth prince to become a talented person."

Shi Qing said nothing more and nodded in agreement.

"Shi Qing, you and the prince will be jointly responsible for papermaking and newspapers. I hope to see the results soon. I can already think of the ugly faces of the Han family! Hahahaha~"

"Yes, Shiqing is resigning!"

"Yes, my son is leaving!"

The two bowed and left the imperial study.

Prince Murong Jin, Shi Qing had heard of him in a teahouse before. He was indeed a handsome young man with a good appearance and temperament, a gentle and elegant demeanor.

However, when Shi Qing saw his calloused hands, he knew that this man should have good martial arts skills. After all, the Murong family was a soldier, so the requirements for martial arts skills should not be too low.

Noticing his gaze, Murong Jin smiled gently and said, "I've heard a lot about Mr. Shi, but I only got to see him today. It's really rare. Why don't we invite Mr. Shi to sit at the Prince's Mansion so we can discuss the next plan?"

Shi Qing was a little speechless. Just now, he pretended to be a brother and brother in front of His Majesty, but now he has become Mr. Shi...

Seemingly seeing through the doubts in his heart, Murong Jin smiled gently.
