The next day, Xuanyuan Qi came to Chaoyang Palace as soon as he came to court and stayed there for a whole morning. Qingcheng moved and sold modern things, which was nothing more than opening up wasteland and farming, and stimulating people's enthusiasm by reducing taxes. Official career recommendations were abolished.
Conduct imperial examinations and encourage business. Qingcheng continued until Xuanyuan Qi left in doubt.
On the third day, Xuanyuan Qi came to Chaoyang Palace again after his imperial dynasty. His face was extremely angry. As soon as he came in, he sat in the hall with a cold face. He was so scared that Butterfly took a glass of water and retreated to the back, never daring to come out again.
Xuanyuan Qi was holding the tea, but before he put it in his mouth, he slapped the table heavily: "I'm so angry."
Qingcheng understood Yu Xinqing and came over: "Are all the ministers opposed?"
"Well! Usually they agree with whatever I say, but today I just mentioned the implementation of the new policy, and they all opposed it in unison, as if they had made an appointment in advance." Xuanyuan Qi said, still looking angry.
"Of course, the emperor's implementation of the new policy will do them no good at all, so of course they are opposed in unison." Qingcheng said, sitting down gently on the lower right seat, picking up the tea and casually
took a sip.
Xuanyuan Qi stared at Qingcheng: "What do you think?"
Gently putting down the tea cup in his hand, Qingcheng played with the remaining half cup of tea: "If the emperor wants to drink this cup of tea in one gulp, it will definitely take a lot of trouble. Even if he drinks it, the emperor will definitely not
It's pleasant. But if the emperor drinks it in small sips, do you think there will be resistance?" Qingcheng took a sip, put down the cup and looked at Xuanyuan Qi.
Xuanyuan Qi's eyes lit up: "You mean to defeat them one by one?"
"So be it! The emperor can pilot it in one city first, and after achieving immediate results, it will not be too late to gradually expand it! By then, Qingcheng thought that even if it harmed the interests of the ministers, there would be nothing left to say.
." Qingcheng said calmly.
"Then let's implement it from the imperial capital first! Under the emperor's feet, no one will dare to make mistakes." Xuanyuan Qi stood up with a smile, as if a gentle breeze was blowing and the dark clouds dispersed.
*********
Xuanyuan Qi really did what he said, his enthusiasm was not as high as usual, and his efficiency was very high. It was implemented in the imperial capital the next day. Qingcheng thought that everything would be fine now, just sit back and watch the results! But to his surprise, Xuanyuan Qi
Still with a sad look on his face, he sat in Chaoyang Palace, deep in thought and silent.
Qingcheng retreated from everyone and was very puzzled: "Your Majesty, are you encountering another problem?"
"The implementation has been implemented, and the announcements have been posted. However, according to the officials below, the people are just waiting and watching, and few people even ask." Xuanyuan Qi sighed, closed his eyes, and seemed to
Extremely tired.
After pondering for a long time, he couldn't think of a solution. So it turned out that Qingcheng didn't know what the problem was, so he stood up and said to Xuanyuan Qi: "Your Majesty, please allow me to leave the palace."
Xuanyuan Qi suddenly opened his eyes: "The goddess is leaving the palace?"
"If you don't stand next to the common people, how can you know what they are thinking?" Qingcheng raised a smile on his lips: Could it be that he was still worried that he would take the opportunity to escape?
"Then let me accompany you out!" Xuanyuan Qi stood up and walked out.
*******
At Chaoyang Gate, Xuanyuan Qi, who was already dressed as a civilian, was slightly startled when he saw Qingcheng, who was dressed in men's clothes. He couldn't help jokingly said: "I didn't expect you to have such a hobby."
Qingcheng answered with a smile.
There were no words all the way. When we came to the most prosperous street in the imperial capital, we looked at the dazzling array of things, and Fengmanlou was still there! Qingcheng couldn't help feeling a little sad: When I first visited this place with Butterfly, I felt so happy and strange. It was still inexplicable.
I met Jingren and Yifei, but let's not say that I have lost that interest a long time ago. Four years is neither long nor short. After the joys and sorrows, I am not the ignorant young man I used to be.
The city has become a city, things and people have changed in the past.
Ignoring Xuanyuan Qi's probing gaze, Qingcheng first found the place where the announcement was posted. People who squeezed into the three floors inside and three floors out immediately heard someone talking.
"If it's really the emperor's new policy, that's good, but what if it's not! Like last time, if an official just uses this to lure people into a trap, isn't that going to get him into trouble?" A middle-aged man read the announcement.
Say it to the people around you.
"That's right, it's up to them to decide whether it's official or not." The person next to him immediately agreed.
"I have lived for decades, and since my grandfather's generation, I have never heard that the emperor of the current dynasty suddenly wanted to implement the New Deal!" An old man said, shaking his head and turning around with a sigh, shaking his cane slightly.
Push away from the crowd.
Qingcheng followed the old man and squeezed out, holding him back: "Old man, isn't the implementation of the New Deal a good thing? Why is it that everyone is not very happy?"
The old man looked back and saw Qingcheng's delicate appearance, and immediately said: "Young master, you are not from the imperial capital! If you are from the imperial capital, you should know."
The old man stopped mid-sentence. Qingcheng was puzzled. Xuanyuan Qi, who was standing behind her, became anxious and grabbed the old man: "What happened to the Imperial Capital?"
The old man glanced at Xuanyuan Qi displeasedly: "You are from a wealthy family, so you understand the hardships of being a common people."
Qingcheng chuckled, pulled Xuanyuan Qi's hand away, supported the old man, gave him a piece of money, and asked softly: "Old man, do we outsiders really want to know what happened to the people in the imperial capital?"
The old man took the silver in his hand, glanced at Qingcheng in surprise, turned away, and took a bite with his teeth. After confirming that it was genuine, he carefully put it into his arms, and then said to Qingcheng: "It's better.
The young master is polite, unlike him, who is as fierce as torture." As he said that, he glanced at Xuanyuan Qi with cloudy eyes.
Qingcheng saw the angry look on Xuanyuan Qi's face, so he chuckled and pulled the old man: "What happened to the Imperial Capital?"
"Oh, young master, you don't know! Everyone knows that the imperial capital is prosperous and lies at the feet of the emperor. But who knows that there are more officials than common people in the world! Of course the saddest ones are us, everyone is.
"Sir!" The old man changed his mind from cherishing his words like gold to speaking freely because of the money he received. He went too far.
Qingcheng was anxious and quickly interrupted him and asked: "Why are you indifferent when you see that the emperor is going to implement new policies that are beneficial to everyone?"
"Who knows if this is the new policy introduced by the Emperor? If not, the imperial court just wants to arrest someone, survey the public opinion, and go to those who respond first. Isn't that asking for death?" The old man said plausibly, shaking his head.
He hobbled away with his crutch, protecting the money in his arms. In the end, Qingcheng could still hear him mumbling: "If it is really the new policy implemented by the emperor, we will be blessed! Unfortunately it is not!"
Qingcheng straightened up and looked at Xuanyuan Qi. He had been silent and clenched his fists tightly: "Am I so untrusted by my own people?"
