After a long talk with Mrs. Zhen, Xie Shen only felt that he suddenly understood.Many problems that I could not understand before are now realized.

After returning home, after washing his feet under the service of little Lolita, Xie Shen opened the window, sat cross-legged on the bed, and stared at the pitch-black night sky in deep thought.

There is never a shortage of straight ministers in this world!

Master Zhen's words kept echoing in Xie Shen's mind, it was deafening.

This sentence had a great impact on Xie Shen. Without this sentence, Xie Shen might have been groping for many years and took many detours to realize this way.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to say that the most famous minister of Qingliu was Hai Rui Hai Bijia, of course, but people often overlooked that Hai Rui was also an extremely capable minister.If Hai Rui was just a straight-talking minister, he certainly wouldn't have such a big reputation.

Zhichen, Qingliu.These two words seem to be praise at first glance, but they are derogatory when you look at them carefully.

An official who has no political achievements will be called a direct minister, because he can only gain a sense of existence by playing tricks.And if an official is very capable, such as Zhang Juzheng, such as Hu Zongxian, the world will definitely not be called a direct minister.

It's like saying that the evaluation of a person is excellent, which often means that he does not have any outstanding skills. If he has any outstanding skills, he will definitely highlight them.

From Xie Shen's point of view, powerful ministers seem to sound better than straight ministers.Direct ministers are not equal to loyal ministers, but more like speculators who gain fame.

However, throughout the Ming Dynasty, most of the officials were not capable ministers but straight ministers.

Many officials deliberately offended the emperor to obtain the imperial staff, just for the reputation of a clean stream of outspoken words.

What is the use of such a direct minister in the court?What is the use for the people?

These straight ministers are the most selfish people!

Boss Zhen's experience summed up over decades of ups and downs in his official career is really sophisticated, and Xie Shen has no choice but to accept it.

So instead of being a direct minister, what do you do?

The range of loyal ministers is too wide, and the risk of powerful ministers is too great. Although capable ministers are good, the difficulty is not low.Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be a tangled and headache problem.

Xie Shen took a deep breath, trying to calm down his mind.

Above the officialdom, there is nothing more than the word interest.

Sometimes you are not willing to do something, but others push you to do it.

If the court is compared to a game of chess, then everyone is a chess piece, only the emperor is the player.How many steps can be walked and how far can be walked is all the meaning of the emperor alone.

So, is the key to becoming a capable minister lies in the emperor?
Today's son Zhu Youtang is a sage and a super model worker, but unfortunately his lifespan is a bit short. When Xie Shenzhong is a Jinshi and will be elected in the museum three years later, it is estimated that he will not have a few years to live.

Isn't the next emperor Zhengde?

Although he did not specifically study the history of the Zhengde Dynasty, he was able to outline the scenes of the Zhengde Dynasty based on his existing impressions.

The famous Eight Tigers, Leopard House, King Ning's rebellion.
The fragments are strung together, and the picture formed is not like a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers, but more like a somewhat funny oil painting.

Xie Shen shook his head helplessly.

How did he travel through such a tragic era, and he happened to meet a child king who couldn't grow up.

Even when Zhengde became an adult, his mental age was only in his teens. Accompanied by such an emperor, he didn't have to worry about the emperor cutting his head off in a fit of anger, but it seemed that the excitement was limited.

If it travels through the Longqing or Wanli years, there is a lot to do.Everyone in the world explained that he died in Wanli, Xie Shen felt that the evaluation was very unfair.Emperor Wanli at least had first-class ability to check and balance the courtiers, able to suppress the situation, and his old man's ability to make money seemed to be excellent.

But it's useless to think about it now.The only thing Xie Shen can do is to pass the Jinshi examination as soon as possible, and reform and teach Xiao Zhengde before he takes over, so maybe there is still hope.

Alas, the future is long and bumpy!
Fortunately, it is still the Hongzhi Dynasty, Xie Shen does not have to worry too much about the corruption of the court.Although it is always right to plan for a rainy day, but there are still 12 years to go, and now the time for planning has changed.

"Young master, you haven't slept yet!"

At some point, Shui Yun pushed the door open and entered, startling Xie Shen.

"Well, today I had a long talk with Mrs. Zhen, and I have some insights. I want to clear up my thoughts."

Xie Shen waved to Shui Yun, signaling her to sit down quickly.

Shui Yun sat on the round stool, nodded her head and said, "I was planning to report to Young Master tomorrow morning. Since Young Master hasn't gone to bed yet, I'll let you know by the way."

"Why, is it about the tea shop?"

Xie Shen had sensed that something was wrong.

"The slave family made some wooden tea boxes according to the young master's previous instructions, and ordered people to carve poems on them, but the number of teas sold has not increased significantly these days. The slave family wondered if there was something wrong with it, so they asked the young master consult."

Xie Shen is still very optimistic about Shuiyun's business, if he cultivates it carefully, it may be a great help to Xie's family.

"It is certain that there are not many sales. From tomorrow onwards, you will only sell fifty boxes of tea per day, and only sell loose tea when sold out. Don't sell boxed tea anymore."

Shui Yun was puzzled after hearing this.

"Why is this? I see that there are many high-quality Qiantang Longjing teas in the store. These teas are originally sold in boxes. Why do you only let my family sell fifty boxes a day?"

Xie Shen was in a difficult situation, how should he explain hunger marketing to Shui Yun?
"If you sell too much, others think it is worthless. No matter how well you package it, it will be useless. But if you limit the number of sales per day, the situation will be different. Rare things are more expensive. You should Get it."

Shui Yun nodded thoughtfully and said, "But in this way, when will the tea in the shop be sold?"

Although tea leaves are not as time-sensitive as vegetables and fruits, aged tea is definitely not as delicious as new tea, and the price of aged tea is naturally much lower than new tea.

This batch of Qiantang Longjing was specially purchased by Shuiyun from colleagues, and the price is not cheap.If they can't be sold out before autumn, there will be a backlog in the coming year.

"Don't be afraid of this. We can slowly release the quantity of sales. After five days, we will sell one hundred boxes a day. After ten days, you will find that the stock has been sold out."

Xie Shen was not worried about the sales of tea, so he took ten thousand steps back, even if Shuiyun lost the deal, Xie Shen felt it was worth it.

Rookies who are new to the business world have to go through some trials before they can grow.With so many business opportunities in the south of the Yangtze River, Shuiyun can learn from selling tea.

"Oh, the slave family will try as the young master said."

It can be seen that Shui Yun attaches great importance to the task assigned to her by Xie Shen, and strives to be perfect.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I will teach you how to cook when you are free someday."

Xie Shen suddenly patted his forehead, and said in harmony.

"Cooking?"

Shui Yun looked at Xie Shen suspiciously, her eyes were full of bewilderment.
