He Kun carefully raised his body a little and said respectfully: "Wei Chen thanks His Highness for your kindness, Wei Chen takes his leave."
After He Kun exited the warehouse, Li Chen said to Chen Tong: "Let Suzhou and Hangzhou send He Kun's materials as soon as possible. I want to see them."
Chen Tong immediately understood that He Kun was about to soar into the sky.
Just look at Xu Changqing and the others.
Although the official rank has not changed, everyone knows that they are the prince's confidants, and the power in their hands has been expanded countless times.
In the past, they were just marginalized people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works, but now, even the two ministers have to look at their faces to act.
The same is true now when it falls on He Kun.
The prince's companion is only a fifth-rank scholar, and he doesn't even have any power.
But at the moment, there is only one person accompanying the prince in the East Palace, and he is responsible for gifts, a major matter that the prince is very concerned about. It can be seen that this is just a test and training. If it is done well, He Kun's rise may be even worse.
Block everything.
I can't say it, but I want to get close and intimate in private.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Tong had already thought a lot.
"I understand the humble position."
Chen Tong bowed respectfully and then exited the warehouse.
When he came outside the warehouse, Chen Tong saw He Kun wiping the cold sweat on his body. He glanced at He Kun, whose palms were soaked, and said with a smile: "Master He, please go back and change clothes quickly. It's not easy to catch a cold in this weather.
good."
He Kun was flattered that the famous deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards cared so much about him, and he said somewhat flattered: "Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will go back and change my clothes now."
Chen Tong smiled and said: "From now on, when we work together under His Highness, you and I are colleagues, so there is no need to be so polite."
As if sensing Chen Tong's closeness, He Kun rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Chen, there is a dagger in Xiaguan's residence. I heard it was imported from overseas. Xiaguan is a scholar. Although the dagger can be sharpened like iron.
The mud is extremely sharp, but when it falls into Xiaguan's hands, it will always be a treasure covered in dust. Why not let Master Chen take the opportunity and Xiaguan send it to Master Chen to palm his eyes?"
As an official, He Kun speaks very nicely even when giving gifts.
Chen Tong was greatly benefited from it. Just look at what He Kun sent to the East Palace and he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary thing. So Chen Tong nodded calmly and said: "I do have two minds about weapons.
If you have time, just send it to me for a look."
"Thank you, sir."
He Kun was overjoyed.
In the warehouse, Li Chen didn't care if the two people outside were messing around.
As a superior person, he needs to control the general direction. If the people below him are a little bit dirty, he does not need to take care of everything in detail.
No one is perfect.
When the water is extremely clear, there are no fish; when people observe it, there are no disciples.
He Kun's performance today surprised him.
Lifting a sea ban was something he had been planning for a long time.
Encouraging commerce and re-taxing commerce are also the only way for him, as a time traveler, to understand that a society and national power need to develop.
In the feudal era, the main tax revenue of the imperial court was agricultural taxes. However, before the explosive growth of science and technology, the total output of the small harvests in the fields of the common people was fixed, and a lot of losses would be incurred if there was no natural disaster.
Agricultural taxes are too heavy and people cannot make a living.
Too bad, the court has no money.
Therefore, commercial tax is the real big factor.
It is extremely difficult for He Kun, a feudal aboriginal, to see through this.
It's just that...the premise of all this is that you want to control the power of the government!
