Chapter 143 The Sword of Killing! The Sword of the Emperor! The Sword of the Peoples Heart! The Official
The road to business!
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The empress asked Xu Qingxiao to continue speaking.
And Xu Qingxiao didn't talk nonsense.
"Your Majesty, I have the courage to speak out. Today, the Wei Dynasty is in turmoil, and the country and the country are facing various crises."
"Therefore, I have trouble sleeping and eating these days. I think about it all day long. I don't even want to participate in the Taiping Poetry Festival."
"I was just thinking about this matter, and just yesterday, I thought of forging a sword to forge a killing sword for the Wei Dynasty."
"This sword has two major functions."
"First, kill treacherous ministers, defeat rebellious parties, punish vassal kings, and quell chaos. The Wei Dynasty has its own treacherous ministers, corruption and perversion of the law. It is difficult to write down. However, the intelligence agency of the Wei Dynasty is extremely poor. Officials protect each other in matters in various places, and all evils are reported.
"
"Therefore, this sword is hidden in the world, working for Your Majesty, collecting all the information in the world, and writing everything down. Your Majesty can read the world's affairs with just one look."
Xu Qingxiao said the first benefit of this sword.
Then Xu Qingxiao continued to speak.
"And in the court, there are many chaotic parties. Although the civil and military leaders are now superior, there is no guarantee that there will be no changes in the future. The partisanship is not good for the court, it is not good for the Wei Dynasty, and it is not good for the people of the world. We need to bring peace to the world.
"
"Therefore, this sword is upright and upright, with blood splattering three feet. It can defeat chaotic parties and groups, stabilize the stability of the dynasty, and also protect your majesty's imperial power. I believe that the court of the Wei Dynasty only allows one voice to be heard, and this voice is your majesty.
the sound of."
Xu Qingxiao said the second benefit.
In the theory of dynasties, hundreds of schools of thought in prosperous times, but in troubled times, it is not necessarily a good thing for the emperor to speak out, but it is not necessarily a bad thing either.
At least in troubled times, when the country is in turmoil, it is best to have only one voice. In this case, nothing will go wrong in the overall situation.
Even if I'm really wrong, it's better than just saying something to me and being in a dilemma in the end, and being slowly dragged to death, right?
Since ancient times, many dynasties have been dragged to death and died slowly. After all, under normal circumstances, according to the emperor's wishes, no matter how tyrant he is, he does not want the people to suffer.
When Xu Qingxiao said these words, the empress couldn't help being surprised.
A hint of shock flashed deep in her beautiful eyes.
Because what Xu Qingxiao said is what she has always wanted to do.
Nowadays, the Wei Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, and there are endless battles in the court. There are many things that she is powerless to do. She often hopes that she can truly control the Wei Dynasty.
But this is impossible. Which one of the court, chamber of commerce, dignitaries, and vassal kings will truly listen to me?
It is too difficult to truly achieve great unification.
But Xu Qingxiao dared to say that she could sweep away everything in the court for her, with her own voice alone. How could this not shock her?
But she didn't continue talking, but looked at Xu Qingxiao quietly, waiting for the next step.
For Xu Qingxiao, the development of the court will become complicated sooner or later. Now the Wei Dynasty is encountering a crisis, but once it turns from decline to prosperity.
In such a large Wei court, many parties would inevitably appear.
The six ministers are all old.
Chen Zhengru is already sixty-five years old. He will reach his retirement age in a few years and will need to abdicate to make way for more talented young people.
This is something that must happen in every era. The exchange of the old and the new is simply because the Wei Dynasty still needs them to stabilize the overall situation.
But the empress is young.
Now she is only in her twenties. As an emperor, she can rule for another eighty years and will abdicate when she is a hundred years old. After all, an emperor cannot sit for a long time and can use elixirs to extend his life. But if an emperor rules a dynasty for more than a hundred years,
.
It will lead to all kinds of unknowns, which is unacceptable in heaven and earth.
The abdicated emperor cannot interfere in government affairs, otherwise it will cause greater trouble.
Therefore, the road ahead will be even more difficult. If we do not handle it well now, we will cause more trouble in the future.
Not only is it bad for the empress, it's also bad for myself.
As for whether you are a partisan?
I, Xu Qingxiao, am a scholar. I am not a partisan or a partisan. I am devoted to His Majesty and I insist on being charged. Then I am a royalist. Do you accept it?
The eunuch must appear.
And there is no need to be too hasty, just make a plan, even if it is just a seed, it must be planted in the heart of the empress.
After the eunuch party was established, it was time to show off his ambitions.
This sword is not only His Majesty's killing sword, but also Xu Qingxiao's killing sword.
"Your Majesty, as for killing the vassal kings and quelling the chaos, it will be even simpler. When the court is unified, the vassal kings from all over the country will have to weigh their options even if they want to move again. Your Majesty can let this sword hang on their heads and make them
If you panic, those who obey will hand over their military power; those who obey, this sword will fall by itself without His Majesty taking action."
"If the vassal king is determined, the world will naturally be in peace."
Xu Qingxiao said seriously.
Of course, the vassal rebellion cannot be solved so easily, and Xu Qingxiao just used exaggerated words.
If you want to solve the feudal lord's chaos, there is a trick that is particularly effective, and it is the most powerful conspiracy of all time, but Xu Qingxiao doesn't plan to use this trick now.
After all, the Wei Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. The purpose of using it is to force the feudal kings to rebel. We need to wait until the Wei Dynasty is stable before using it to show off.
If this conspiracy was revealed, Xu Qingxiao would not believe that the empress would be so calm.
Indeed, the empress behaved quite calmly. She understood even more how complex the feudal feud was and how it had almost no solution. She had to suppress it from all aspects, and she would not take action lightly even if it was absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, it will affect the whole body and cause more troubles.
"What about the second one?"
"Ai Qing continues."
But the empress continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, the second thing is that this killing sword can lay the foundation. The sword of the emperor!"
When Xu Qingxiao said this, her eyes were extremely clear as she looked at the empress.
"The Sword of the Emperor?"
"What is the Sword of the Emperor?"
The empress became even more curious. This killing sword was already so attractive, but she didn't expect that it was just to draw out the emperor's sword.
"The Emperor's Sword is a sacred weapon of the Wei Dynasty. It is used to attack the inside and outside. When the killing sword is stained with blood, the Emperor's Sword can be forged."
"When the time comes, your majesty's words will be the sword of the emperor. The direction of the sword will look down upon the world. Not to mention the Northern Expedition, even if a full-scale war is launched, it is not impossible. This sword will allow the Wei Dynasty to unify the mountains and rivers, and the sun and the moon will shine together.
.”
Xu Qingxiao's voice was full of passion.
When he said the last sentence, he clenched his fists and said with firm eyes.
Unify the mountains and rivers!
The sun and the moon shine together!
Xu Qingxiao's ability to draw pancakes is almost at full level. Even though she is the empress of the Wei Dynasty, she was inexplicably moved after hearing about the Sword of the Emperor.
Although I know it is very difficult, and it is likely to be a big pie.
But it still moved her.
Because she is a human being after all, and it is impossible for her to have no desires. On the contrary, her desires are even greater, but she knows how to restrain herself and understands that some things can be done and some things cannot be done.
"The Sword of Killing."
"The Sword of the Emperor."
For some reason, the empress always felt that something was missing, but she couldn't figure it out.
Seeing the trace of thought in the empress's eyes, Xu Qingxiao looked calm.
In fact, his real plan is three swords.
The eunuch corresponds to the killing sword.
The Empress corresponds to the Emperor's Sword.
And there is another sword, which is very important. This sword is the core, the real core.
And this sword can compete with the killing sword and the emperor's sword.
This sword is called the ‘Sword of the People’s Heart’.
Yes, it is the faith of all peoples.
When the killing sword becomes extremely sharp, the Emperor's Sword is needed to suppress it. And when the Emperor's Sword becomes extremely sharp, then the Sword of the People's Heart can suppress everything.
Because no matter how strong and capable the emperor is, he relies on the people of the world.
Therefore, whether you are a tyrant or a wise king, you all understand the truth: it does not matter how many ministers you kill, or how many years you fight.
But no matter what, you can't offend the people of the world.
Once you offend the people of the world, even if your dynasty is immortal and your emperor is like a god, in the end you will be just a wave in the river.
It's just a little too big.
Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win everything.
This sword was prepared by Xu Qingxiao for himself. He didn't know what the future would be like, whether he could escape, or whether he could strategize.
So it is best to buy yourself an insurance policy.
The sword of people's hearts is not sharp, but it is as heavy as Mount Tai.
However, this sword must be controlled by oneself. It is one of the strongest trump cards.
"Love you."
"How to forge a killing sword?"
The empress spoke. She did not fantasize about the Emperor's Sword, but she was very interested in the Killing Sword because she really needed such a sharp weapon now.
"Your Majesty, this sword needs to meet three conditions."
"First, they must be absolutely loyal to His Majesty. In other words, they only have His Majesty in their eyes and cannot tolerate anyone else. Once Your Majesty declines, they will also decline. If Your Majesty becomes strong, they will also become stronger."
"Secondly, they must have force, and they must also have great wisdom and be good at forbearance."
"Third, they must not join any political party, whether it is Confucianism, Taoism or the Literary Party."
Xu Qingxiao said three elements. Without these three elements, a killing sword cannot be forged.
But as soon as she said this, the empress frowned slightly.
She naturally knows these three points Xu Qingxiao mentioned, but the problem is that she is also looking for such talents.
Just can't find it.
If we can find it, do we still need Xu Qingxiao to speak?
"Xu Aiqing, do you have anyone to choose?"
The next moment, the empress spoke and asked Xu Qingxiao if she had anyone to choose?
But as soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao shook her head.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry."
Xu Qingxiao rejected it directly.
Let yourself choose a candidate? To put it bluntly, now that I have suggested it, the empress is overjoyed, but when she looks back and thinks about it carefully, does she think there is something wrong with her?
Also, no one saw her chatting with Li Xian? There were so many spies in the palace. The empress might not be aware of things happening outside, but who wouldn’t be aware of things happening in the palace?
If it weren't for her previous friendship with Li Xian, Xu Qingxiao would not have mentioned this matter.
This killing sword must be forged by the empress herself. She cannot participate in it. She can only give some suggestions. After the sword is unsheathed, she can borrow it for use.
No matter how nice what Li Xian said, no matter how grateful Li Xian was to him, even if he saved his life, would it be worth his own glory and wealth in the end?
It's not that Xu Qingxiao thinks human nature is too bad, but human nature itself is like this. No matter what you do, you must be careful, whether it is against the party or the empress.
Everyone is focused on their own interests, and if there is no interest, everything is empty talk.
Hearing this, the empress was actually a little stunned.
I thought Xu Qingxiao would tell me the answer after talking so much, but what I didn’t expect was that Xu Qingxiao said no at the critical moment?
The empress was silent.
She looked at Xu Qingxiao with a slightly complicated look in her eyes.
After a while, the empress continued to speak.
"What suggestions does Xu Aiqing have?"
The empress continued to ask.
She didn't believe that Xu Qingxiao had no idea at all. She might have some scruples, but forging a killing sword was indeed a good thing for her.
That's why she continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, I don't know much about this. After all, it can satisfy the above three points at the same time. I never thought of it."
"However, something like Miss Wan'er is good, but Miss Wan'er is often accompanied by Sheng, which is a bit troublesome."
Xu Qingxiao couldn't say it clearly, but she couldn't help but say it. What if she really made a mistake? So she could only mention it vaguely. As for whether the empress could understand it or not, that was her business.
The words have come to this point.
As Xu Qingxiao spoke up, Zhao Waner was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Xu Qingxiao would push her, but this was considered a compliment.
But to Zhao Waner, this seemed like a compliment.
But the empress couldn't help but become curious. She thought of something inexplicably, but she didn't think of it all at once.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded again.
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up and mentioned the second thing.
"What's the matter?"
the empress asked.
"About the waterwheel."
"The waterwheel project has stalled because the three merchants are demanding high prices. I have a plan that can lower the price by 30%. I just need His Majesty's intervention."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up and told the second thing.
It's about the waterwheel.
"Suppressed by 30%?"
The empress's voice sounded in the hall, and this time she couldn't keep calm.
"It's 30% of the original price of the household."
Xu Qingxiao told another piece of news.
"My dear, please tell me."
The empress' face was still very calm, with curiosity and confusion in her heart. She couldn't understand why Xu Qingxiao dared to say such a thing?
Thirty percent? Or 30% of the original price?
How can this be?
"Your Majesty, I think that all the prosperity in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, let alone these profit-seeking businessmen?"
"But for businessmen, sometimes money doesn't mean everything, especially for these three major chambers of commerce."
"Ten million taels more and less than ten million taels are nothing more than higher profits for them, but there are some things that these businessmen have always wanted to have but have never been able to have."
"As long as your majesty gives them, I can guarantee that the raw materials for the waterwheel can be purchased at 30% of the price, and water transportation will be exempted."
Xu Qingxiao said this.
“What do you want to have but can’t have?”
The empress was curious. Businessmen were looking for profit. What else did they need besides money?
Sensing the empress' doubts, Xu Qingxiao spoke calmly.
"Official position!"
The voice fell.
Zhao Waner was the first to be surprised, with shock on her face.
Official position?
To a businessman?
Isn't this a bit outrageous?
However, the empress' face was expressionless, without any surprise, but she was lost in thought.
Xu Qingxiao said nothing, waiting for the empress to speak.
In order for these merchants to be willing to lose money while still giving money to the court, they must offer a price that they cannot resist.
As for money, Wei did not have it.
But the official position, is there not a word from His Majesty?
Finally, the Queen's voice sounded.
"Isn't the price for giving official positions to businessmen a bit high?"
The empress did not object, but looked at Xu Qingxiao and said this.
In her eyes, official positions are not just given, and giving official positions to businessmen has a great impact, because since ancient times, businessmen have not been able to have official positions.
Who is an official in the government but did not rely on study and strength? Businessmen, at best, are called well-managed, but at worst, aren't they speculators?
If they are given official positions, there will inevitably be opposition from all sides.
"No!"
"Your Majesty, I am not saying that these merchants will be given official positions, but that they will open up a new official path for the imperial merchants."
"As for the imperial merchants, there is no need to give them power, because they don't need power. You only need to give them the corresponding status."
Xu Qingxiao said this, but seeing that the empress was still a little confused, Xu Qingxiao continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, let me give you an example. There was a wealthy businessman in Yanjing City who spent a million taels of silver in one night to win a smile from a beautiful woman. Everyone in the world thought that this wealthy businessman was greedy for beauty."
"But in fact, this wealthy businessman just wants to show off and show off his financial resources. Of course, beauty is also important."
"It is not an exaggeration to say that among the merchants of the world, those who can be leaders are as rich as any country. They have eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and admired the beauties of all countries."
"To put it bluntly, your majesty may not be able to match these wealthy businessmen for his daily meals, so they don't have much pursuit anymore."
"The reason for continuing to make money is because of the nature of businessmen. They also want to stabilize the position of the chamber of commerce and have competitors."
"But for them, this is just nature. They no longer have any pursuits in life. But what if at this time, Your Majesty breaks the ancient tradition and opens up a separate path for business officials."
"Without giving power, only status, including travel ceremonials, these businessmen will be ready to take action. As long as it is within their tolerance, they will definitely ask for it."
"For the Wei Dynasty, what they sacrificed is just a little bit of reputation, but what they get is the support of merchants from all over the world and inexhaustible silver. Please make your decision, Your Majesty."
Xu Qingxiao said it word for word.
And the analysis is clear and logical.
What do businessmen hope for most after making money? It’s not just returning home in glory and being recognized by others.
But whether it was the Wei Dynasty, Tuxie, or the Chu Yuan Dynasty, there were only a few countries in the world that would improve the status of merchants.
Small businessmen and hawkers make a living, and this is okay, but big businessmen are hated, and hatred of the rich is a very common thing.
Therefore, in order to fight back, to prove themselves, and to gain recognition, these businessmen spend a million taels a night, or do not regard money as money. This is actually a kind of revenge.
Even building bridges and roads, why? It’s not just to have a good reputation.
But no matter what we do, is it okay to have an official position issued by the imperial court?
No matter how much the people don't recognize the merchants, the imperial court recognizes them, so what can they say?
As for businessmen, they try their best to please officials from all over the country. For what reason? Don't they just want to earn money? But now that they are officials, although they have no rights, their status is here.
If something happens in the future, you won’t have to ask for help. We are all members of the system. What qualifications do you have to look down on me? And what qualifications do you have to arrest me?
If you add in the ceremonial guard trip, let me ask, how big is the parade for the official to go out? Are these businessmen jealous? Nine horses pulling a cart is a crime of beheading, but what about seven horses? What about five horses?
Given a set of customized official uniforms, these businessmen would go crazy with joy and run out every day to pretend to be smart?
Xu Qingxiao's point is to seize the needs of businessmen.
Whether it's face, status, or recognition from others, these things are what businessmen urgently need now.
You can earn money slowly. If you lose a little this year, you can earn it back next year, but face will be different.
"Are we going to open up a new path for becoming a businessman?"
"How to set it up?"
The empress asked, she was a little interested.
"Returning to Your Majesty, my basic idea is quite simple. Just like the Wei Dynasty, from the tenth rank to the first rank, the main donation is silver taels. The tenth rank donates 10,000 taels of silver to the court. If the order is given but not obeyed, then fifty thousand taels.
Grades, one hundred thousand taels and eight grades."
"Two hundred thousand taels of seven grades, five hundred thousand taels of six grades, one million taels of five grades, five million taels of four grades, ten million taels of three grades, fifty million taels of two grades, and ten million taels of one grade."
Xu Qingxiao replied like this.
"Ten million taels, a first-grade official position?"
The empress thought again.
But Zhao Waner showed a surprised look.
After all, I don’t give you any rights, I just give you a false name, it’s just nice to hear, and I charge you 10,000,000 taels? This is equivalent to the national tax revenue of Wei Dynasty for one year.
"Your Majesty, this is not too much. Starting from the third rank, there will be hundreds, the second rank will be twenty, and the first rank will be six. Bidding will be held every ten years. The one with the highest price will get it. There will only be a lot more."
Xu Qingxiao continued.
"Once in ten years?"
Zhao Waner was shocked again, and the empress was slightly at a loss what to say.
A false name, a set of official uniforms, and some command arrows. The cost of these things does not cost a few hundred taels of silver. How about selling them to someone for ten million taels of silver? Pay it back once in ten years, or if it doesn't work, just change someone else? This is really cruel.
I feel His Majesty's silence.
Xu Qingxiao continued to speak, for fear that His Majesty would think it was too little.
"Your Majesty, the price of official positions cannot be raised any higher. After all, these businessmen are not fools, so we will wait until the Wei Dynasty becomes prosperous before offering the titles."
"But the title is purchased with money, and it is for serving the country, such as building bridges and roads, solving the livelihood of local people, providing various positions, and then giving the title."
"The highest possible title can be given to a prince, and he can be buried as a king after his death, and he can be granted a permanent throne, but he must have a good reputation after his death."
Xu Qingxiao dropped another bombshell.
Official positions are only sold for money, which is equivalent to earning tax money, but titles are different. They must benefit the country and the people, which can be regarded as contributing to the country.
Of course, if you want to do it to the level of a prince, you have to add a lot of difficulties to make it challenging for you.
In fact, this is just like playing a game. Once you reach the full level and have the Six Gods installed, you will definitely find it boring. I will open a new map for you at this time to ensure that you are full of passion. As for whether it will be boring again in the future.
That doesn't matter, there are countless people behind you who want you to get out of here.
Once that time comes, involution will begin, and the merchants will be involved to death. Who will benefit? Isn't it the Wei Dynasty?
You build the bridge? I will build the road!
You build bridges and roads, I'll fix the employment rate.
You build bridges and roads and solve the employment rate, while I open up wasteland and throw away all my wealth. What are you going to fight with me for?
Moreover, there is another advantage of doing this. Once the official position is given, even if the businessmen of the world jump into the system and enter the court, many things will be out of their control.
As an official of the Wei Dynasty, you sold materials to the enemy? Are you not committing adultery and betraying your country? What are you?
But if you don't enter the court, then it's just businessmen chasing profits. If the emperor doesn't like it, there's nothing they can do about it. After all, in principle, buying and selling does not respect national boundaries.
Therefore, Xu Qingxiao's move was also a conspiracy, and it was also an unsolvable conspiracy. He dug a deep pit, waiting for the businessman to jump into it.
Of course, it is not without its benefits. After joining the Royal Chamber of Commerce, are you still afraid of not making any money? Just shout outside that I am an imperial merchant, I have face, and the people trust you.
As for you going to defraud and kidnap? That's okay. We'll set up an internal inspection team and have the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Confucianists dispatched together. In addition, the eunuchs will conduct a secret investigation. If you dare to mess around, I'll cut you off with a knife.
If you don't mess around, make the money you deserve, and enjoy the life you deserve, why not?
Therefore, after Xu Qingxiao thought of this move, she felt that she was a genius.
On the Dragon Throne.
The empress pondered.
She thought to herself that everything Xu Qingxiao said was money and silver. These things were in urgent need in the Wei Dynasty. It was true.
But she felt that there was something in Xu Qingxiao's words.
If it's just silver, Xu Qingxiao won't open her mouth, she knows it.
Silver!
merchant!
Official position!
The empress was thinking to herself, and suddenly, a light flashed in her mind.
In an instant, the empress's pupils dilated a little.
Because she completely understood what was hidden in this proposal.
Invite the merchants of the Wei Dynasty into the court of the Wei Dynasty and establish an independent chamber of commerce. From now on, there will be no five or eight merchants, but only one imperial merchant of the Wei Dynasty.
This is really high.
The empress stood up abruptly. She looked at Xu Qingxiao, and her heart was as shocked as the ocean.
The Wei Dynasty actually focused on businessmen very early and wanted to control them, but how smart were these businessmen?
Who knows that once they are controlled by the Wei Dynasty, they will face many dangers, and the forces behind them will not allow them to do so.
Therefore, whenever it was proposed to control merchants, it would cause many problems. Even emperors in the past dynasties had to use the knife, but what was the result? Before the knife came down, many wars broke out in the Wei Dynasty.
Anyone with a discerning eye will know that there is someone behind the scenes.
Therefore, the sword has not fallen yet, and Xin Chao also knows that Xu Qingxiao will attack the Wei merchants sooner or later, but she is also making plans in advance.
What I didn't expect was that Xu Qingxiao actually came up with this method.
A huge hole was dug, and the Wei merchants happily jumped in.
high.
high!
It's really brilliant.
Looking at Xu Qingxiao again, her face was as calm as water, but there was clearly a smile hidden in her eyes.
This Xu Qingxiao is truly an eternal talent.
Who is this person?
Why are you so smart?
Holding back the excitement in her heart, the empress spoke directly.
"Xu Aiqing, I agree to the discussion of business officials."
"I will give you the dragon talisman. The six departments of the Wei Dynasty will fully cooperate with you in this matter, and then give you the right to kill first and report later. After this incident, once the Wei Chamber of Commerce is formed, you will take the lead in dispatching it."
The empress was very excited, but as an emperor, she would hide it no matter how excited she was.
She gave the Great Wei Dragon Talisman to Xu Qingxiao again, and allowed Xu Qingxiao to dispatch six ministries to cooperate with Xu Qingxiao in handling the matter.
Once it is completed, Xu Qingxiao will be the commander of the merchants of the Wei Dynasty, taking the lead in dispatching everything, and has a very high status.
"My lord, take the order."
Xu Qingxiao bowed to the empress.
I have to say that the empress is really smart. She guessed what she wanted to do in just half a quarter of an hour.
I also saw through the core of this matter.
It's good. Xu Qingxiao was really afraid that the emperor wouldn't know.
Yes, this business-official system.
The root lies in the merchants of the Wei Dynasty, not just money.
Because the Wei Dynasty will prosper sooner or later, and these businessmen will also reap the dividends. They have nothing to do, no effort, and enjoy so much in vain. Will Xu Qingxiao agree?
But once the merchant-official system is established, in the early stage, we will give everyone the illusion that the Wei Dynasty is short of money, give me some silver, and I will give you an official position, so that you can fake it.
Once it reaches the mid-term, it is about profit distribution and integration. The biggest problem for businessmen together is competition. But in the mid-term, everyone has joined in, and it is impossible to leave if they want to.
Listen to my arrangements honestly, who will do this, who will do that, everyone will distribute it, everyone will make money, and there will be no conflicts. Naturally, the country will save trouble, and the businessmen will be satisfied. After everyone makes money, it will be
You will find that the Wei Chamber of Commerce is really good, and then you will start to wonder if you can get a higher official position.
Although merchant officials have no real power, this is for the Wei Dynasty court, and for the Wei Chamber of Commerce, this official position has no rights? Is it really just a false name?
Xu Qingxiao's move is equivalent to opening a cram school and setting up a squad leader. The squad leader of the cram school is definitely useless in school, but in the cram school, he is the leader.
So in the mid-term, businessmen would get involved, bid for officials, and work for the Wei Dynasty.
As for the later period, it will be even better. Supervision, control, and inspections will keep an eye on you. Just work for the Wei Dynasty honestly. Want to leave? Sorry, as an official of the Wei Dynasty, you actually want to treason? Come here.
, catch him and put him in jail.
This trick, this trick is called inviting you to enter the urn where the mantis hunts the cicada.
It is precisely because of this that the empress is so excited. Otherwise, it is just for some money. To be honest, she would agree without knowing it, because it is embarrassing.
"Xu Aiqing, the imperial kitchen has made some nice snacks. Please bring some back later."
The empress spoke, her mood was particularly happy at this moment. Xu Qingxiao had solved a huge problem for her. If the killing sword could explain it more carefully, it would be two huge problems.
With such a capable minister, I am really blessed to be a great Wei Dynasty, and my ancestors have great spirits.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xu Qingxiao was calm, even a little unhappy.
Is this a sign of goodwill? Where's your arrogance? Where's your indifference? Your Majesty, I still like your calm look. You are so tacky, I can't accept it.
Xu Qingxiao felt slightly satisfied.
The empress didn't know what Xu Qingxiao was thinking, but she noticed that Xu Qingxiao had been looking at her, which made her think of another thing inexplicably.
After a while, Zhao Waner brought snacks.
Xu Qingxiao also resigned.
And after Xu Qingxiao left, the empress also retracted her thoughts.
She was still thinking about the Sword of Killing.
Absolute loyalty.
It also requires a certain amount of strength.
Bold, careful, and ruthless.
The empress frowned slightly. She added the cruelty. The reason is very simple. If someone who does great things is not ruthless, can he accomplish great things?
Being indecisive will only affect the situation.
But where can you find such people? And if you want to do so many things for yourself, you must be a group, not just one or two people.
well.
The empress sighed in her heart, couldn't help but get up and walked outside.
She plans to go for a walk.
But as soon as he walked outside the door, the eunuch outside immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, it's going to rain soon."
The eunuch knelt on the ground, reminding himself that it was going to rain.
He glanced at the sky.
There are indeed some dark clouds.
But the next moment.
The empress' eyes couldn't help but fall on this eunuch.
etc.
Loyalty, strength, intelligence, and cruelty.
The empress looked at the eunuch kneeling in front of her, and for a moment, she seemed to have thought of something.
And at the same time.
Inside the palace.
Zhao Waner sent Xu Qingxiao out of the palace.
Xu Qingxiao was carrying a box, which was a royal snack, and she was talking and laughing with Zhao Waner along the way.
After meeting each other several times and getting familiar with each other, the unfamiliar barrier naturally disappeared.
Moreover, the topic between the two of them also came up with marriage. Xu Qingxiao's conversation was more ordinary. If you have skills but no ability, and if you want money but no money, how can you dare to talk about marriage?
"Master Xu doesn't know that after the Taiping Poetry Recital, many of the female family members in the palace admired Master Xu."
"As long as Mr. Xu is willing, all the women in the palace are willing to marry Mr. Xu, no matter how much they pay. Mr. Xu is really humble."
Zhao Waner chuckled.
"Well, although there are many female relatives in the palace, how many are truly stunning? If there is a girl as beautiful as Wan'er, Xu will not be able to accept it."
Xu Qingxiao's chatting style is very open. In fact, it's the way modern people do, being reserved or not.
Ask yourself, if there is an extremely beautiful woman who is also a virgin, which man wouldn’t like her?
If it wasn't a matter of magic, Xu Qingxiao would have at least found a few confidants, instead of having three wives and four concubines, right?
When a man is alive, fame, power, and beauty, aren't they just for these three things? Wouldn't it be boring if he didn't have a beauty by his side?
But! Xu Qingxiao didn’t dare to touch others until the problem of the strange technique was solved. If something happened, it would be no small matter.
This is why Xu Qingxiao is relatively resistant in this regard.
Afraid of harming people.
But to Xu Qingxiao, this was just a compliment from Versailles, but to Zhao Waner, she blushed inexplicably.
"Master Xu, you are really joking."
Zhao Waner's voice was a little nervous. She must be confident about her appearance, but she was still young and often accompanied her, so naturally she would not think about it in this regard.
If someone else had said this, Zhao Waner would have felt that she was being frivolous.
Maybe Qingxiao is indeed different.
She is young, handsome, and has such great talent that even His Majesty could not help but praise her many times. Except for a few people in the court, who among the people in the court did not praise Xu Qingxiao?
Who wouldn't like it?
"Okay, Miss Wan'er, you should go back early. It's going to rain. Xu will leave first."
Come to the palace gate.
Xu Qingxiao waved to Miss Wan'er and then left.
Looking at Xu Qingxiao leaving, Zhao Waner couldn't help but smile sweetly, and she didn't know why.
And at this time.
After leaving the palace.
Xu Qingxiao had no intention of going back.
Instead, he walked towards Peach Blossom Temple.
About three things.
First, meet the guy from the white-clothed door.
Second, go find the girl in white and apologize for what happened last time.
Third, talk to Zhang Ru about something.
So it's still a bit busy.
I looked at the sky and saw some dark clouds, it seemed like it was going to rain.
Therefore, Xu Qingxiao quickened her pace.
It only takes about a quarter of an hour to get from Dawei Palace to Taohua Temple.
Xu Qingxiao quickened her pace and arrived at Taohua Temple in half a quarter of an hour.
Come to Peach Blossom Temple again.
Xu Qingxiao was very generous. It was just like going to drink tea. It was the first time that everyone was very nervous and trembling for fear of being discovered.
But after the second time, it got much better.
When Xu Qingxiao entered Peach Blossom Temple again, some of the maids who greeted him were shocked again, and then all came together as before.
Fortunately, Miss Liu arrived immediately and came to the rescue.
"I've met Mr. Xu."
Miss Liu saluted Xu Qingxiao Yingying, with a smile that could not be concealed in her beautiful eyes.
"Miss Liu is so polite. May I ask the girl in white if she is here today?"
Xu Qingxiao smiled.
"Yes, but the girl in white has already said she won't see any guests."
"However, Mr. Xu is different. I will send someone to ask him so that Mr. Xu can rest for a while."
Miss Liu said this.
And Xu Qingxiao nodded.
"Well, I'll take a rest first and then go to the Gathering Banquet."
Finding the girl in white is the second thing, let’s solve the first thing first.
Follow Miss Liu forward.
Xu Qingxiao soon arrived at the Gathering of Talents Banquet.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded again.
"Brother Xu really doesn't like coming to this kind of place."
"Something happened last time."
"Don't believe it, all men in the world are lustful, but my brother Xu is not lustful at all."
Wang Ru's voice sounded, not too loud, but definitely not too quiet. At least Xu Qingxiao heard his voice as soon as she came in.
And after hearing these words.
Xu Qingxiao was slightly startled.
I feel awkward for no reason.
At this moment, Wang Ru found that everyone was silent and looked behind them.
I couldn't help but look over.
Good guy.
When he saw Xu Qingxiao's figure, Wang Ru's fat face became a little silent.
"Brother Wang Ru, you may not believe it, but I am really here to do something."
Xu Qingxiao's smile was a bit forced.
He couldn't explain it clearly.
But every time I come here, I meet Wang Ru. Why does this guy like to come to this kind of place so much?
Oh, I guess I can do it for free, after all, I know the shopkeeper.
I heard Xu Qingxiao’s explanation.
Wang Ru had some mixed feelings at this moment.
But Xu Qingxiao gave him a look, and Wang Ru noticed it, and immediately figured it out.
"Brother Xu, I will accompany my friend first and then go to the school to find you later."
Wang Ru spoke, he didn't want to disturb Xu Qingxiao, and Xu Qingxiao nodded, and also bowed his hands to Wang Ru's friends. It was considered a meeting, and it also gave Wang Ru face.
