Chapter 123 A deer is not a deer and a horse is not a horse

Knowing that his son really didn't have the ability to see anything, Shao Zhi simply stopped playing tricks and told all about the court discussion.

"Only the last three articles of this book have passed the court discussion, and the first proposal to abolish the corvee has not passed."

"what?"

Shao Ziheng was surprised when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "The last three articles of this guide can be said to be developed around the first article of abolition of corvees. There is no abolition of corvees, but only the last three articles have any meaning."

"The abolition of the corvee is a big matter, and Xu Ben, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, did not agree."

Shao Zhi repeated Xu Ben's refutation of Chen Yunfu's original words, and then said: "The annual budget of the Ministry of Industry is already very high. If the corvee is abolished, at least millions of taels of silver will be added every year. This is still based on the On the basis of good weather, if there is a natural disaster in the future, how should the court provide relief."

"It's also the same reason." Shao Ziheng was quite irrelevant, and after hearing the words, he turned to support Xu Ben: "No wonder the abolition of corvees failed. The child is really stupid, and he didn't take this into consideration."

After self-criticizing himself, Shao Ziheng thought of Chen Yunfu, and said, "What about Yunfu? After all, this is a benevolent government that concerns future fame. If it failed, Yunfu must be very annoyed now. "

"Yeah, no matter who you change, you won't be angry."

Shao Gan sighed: "The reputation of Qianqiu, which was about to be obtained, was refuted by Xu Ben in this way. Who can you say is not angry? Not only did Yunfu fail to obtain this reputation, but even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also failed to obtain it." ,what a pity."

"Yes, although reputation is very important, but Xu Butang's consideration is indeed appropriate." Shao Ziheng said with regret for Chen Yunfu: "It can only be said that Yunfu still failed to think thoroughly, otherwise if we make sufficient preparations, today's court meeting It should be over."

"How can my son be so dull." Shao Zhi sighed regretfully, and said, "Do you think, with Yunfu's appearance, he would not have realized that there is such a big loophole in the abolition of corvees? How much more budget is needed, this account needs to be settled by Xu Ben and Yunfu!"

Don't forget, it was repeatedly mentioned in the previous article that Chen Yunfu's memory is different from ordinary people!
"The reason why Your Majesty is relieved to hand over the General Administration to Yunfu is because he values ​​Yunfu's memory that ordinary people can't match. Things are handled in an orderly manner, and he is familiar with how many people died in the water conservancy project in the northwest, how many cloths and cattle were paid for.

Such a person, can't remember how many workers the Ministry of Industry employs and how much time is spent on construction?With an idea in mind, he only needs to do a simple calculation based on the daily wages of laborers in various places to find out how much more the Ministry of Industry will budget next year.

Clearly knowing it in his heart, but deliberately selling a loophole to let Xu Ben refute him, Yunfu would not make such a mistake. "

Shao Zhi knocked on the table and said in a low voice.

"You always know the allusion of referring to a deer as a horse."

Shao Ziheng shivered, no one knows this allusion!

"Doesn't Zhao Gao know whether he is pointing at a deer or a horse?" Shao Zhi whispered, "A deer is not a deer, and a horse is not a horse.

Why this guide is a demon mirror, because only with this guide, Yunfu can see who are helpers, who are political opponents, who can do things, and who can wave the flag!

The old man was the same as you, thinking that this was only caused by Yunfu's lack of thoughtfulness, or that he went to Henan and felt something in his heart.

However, today in the East Pavilion, when Xu Ben stood up to refute him, Yunfu's face was as calm as a lake from the beginning to the end, and he even gave his father a feeling of relief. In a cold sweat. "

Shao Zhi frowned, and said in a very serious tone: "It has been more than half a month since Yunfu returned from Henan, and this document was only brought out for court discussion today, in other words, more than half a month It was enough time for Yunfu to calm down and think about it.

At this moment, Wei's father only hopes that he is thinking too much. If Wei's father is allowed to guess correctly, then what is Yunfu's plan for doing this? "

"Didn't you say that Yunfu did this to test Jiuqing?"

"That's just the surface of what the father is seeing right now."

Shao Zhi squinted his eyes: "If it's just to see this layer, Yunfu can fully prepare to deal with the refutation of 'Xu Ben', in this way, he can not only pass through the abolished corvee, but also see the nine From Qing's standpoint, why not do the best of both worlds, and he just left this flaw and didn't make up for it, so Yunfu should have a deep meaning in doing this, which my father can't see through for the time being."

"father"

Shao Ziheng swallowed his saliva, because Shao Zhi was frightened, and so was his father. Who can give an example, but Zhao Gao, who insists on using his finger as a horse?
"When you step into an official career in the future, there are father and Yunfu who will protect you. It is expected that you will be successful all the way. My father only warns you that no matter what happens in the future, don't make up your own mind. Come home and be a father." , No, tell your brother-in-law, your brother-in-law is much better than you."

"Yes, my child remembered it."

The father and son said a few more words, and the servants of the mansion knocked on the door.

"My lord, the Grand Scholars have arrived, drink tea in the main hall."

Shao Zhi didn't say any more, he got up and left the study, and went straight to the main hall. On the way, he explained: "Tell the kitchen that the food for tonight should be richer."

"Yes."

The two entered the main hall one after another, and Chen Yunfu who was sitting here had already got up.

"Yue Zhang, Brother Zi Heng."

Shao Zhi could be vague, he just nodded with a smile and called out his son-in-law, but Shao Ziheng who was behind him didn't dare to put on the big brother's airs and bowed to him.

"Yunfu is here."

Chen Yunfu took two quick steps to support him, and blamed: "Brother Ziheng is outrageous, you and I are brothers, and now we will soon become a family, we can't do this at home in the future."

"Don't be so polite, sit down."

Shao Zhi took the lead and sat in the main seat, looked at Chen Yunfu with a smile on his face and said, "My son-in-law is done with his work?"

"Well, I'm done." Chen Yunfu replied: "All the memorials sent today have been approved, and the abolition of the corvee and the restoration of the merchants have also been sent to the General Political Department for approval. I will find a day later to discuss with the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali. The temple will deploy it together and urge the local government to implement it.”

"Okay, let's rest for a while."

Shao Zhi said hello, and then changed the topic from business affairs to family affairs: "For my father, I sent someone to check the day, and the eighth day of the next month will be a very good day, what do you think?"

Just as Chen Yunfu wanted to say yes, he suddenly remembered about the Northern Expedition and wondered.

"Yue Zhang, in two days, Song Guogong and the others will leave Beijing and go north. The Northern Expedition is at Meiguan. As the general manager, there are so many things to do, such as mobilizing money and food and coordinating the military department. I'm afraid I can't do it for a while Get out, I guess I won't even have time to go back home, and I will continue to stay with the crown prince temporarily."

"The Northern Expedition is a big matter, so there is no rush." ​​Shao Zhi nodded frequently when he heard the words, and finally said meaningfully. "It's really easier to deal with living in the crown prince's place. It's the son-in-law who is considerate."

Chen Yunfu, who had just picked up the tea bowl, paused, then put down the tea bowl and said with a smile.

"It's the prince's benevolence."
