Chapter 168 Boycott!
During the meeting, Qin Mo found a pillar near the iron stove, then skillfully took out a piece of cloth and put it under his buttocks. With the warmth of the stove, Qin Mo closed his eyes and rested.
He didn't bother to listen to the important matters of family and country.
When Li Yue saw this scene, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. I'm afraid he can't get rid of this stupid problem.
But with the Duke of Qin here, it won't be a big problem.
Soon, Li Shilong walked up to the Golden Palace.
Dai Wei stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there are only tens of thousands of taels of silver in the account of the Ministry of Revenue. We still have to pay close attention to the border and provide relief to the victims. The Ministry of Revenue is more than willing but not able.
With the prince and the King of Yue's charitable foundation, and the help from various families, the Ministry of Revenue should be able to get out of this matter! The border officer is about to send 10 taels of silver, and the money in the account at the household department may not be enough! "
Li Shilong frowned. Although Qin Xiangru was guarding the city at the border, it was unrealistic to make a lot of money in the short term.
And most of them are materials. Feedback to the mainland will take a while, and transporting cattle, sheep, and horses also requires a process.
"How much money does the Ministry of Finance have left?"
"Less than 5 million taels!"
"I paid the remaining money from internal funds. I must ensure the livelihood of the border officers!" Li Shilong has money now. If it were before, he would not be willing to take money from internal funds.
This was the confidence Qin Mo gave him. He sent him more than [-] taels to enter the palace in one month.
Dai Wei didn't expect Li Shilong to be so generous. He thought to himself, when did His Majesty become so generous?
"One more thing. Now that the imperial court is in the midst of hiring people, I plan to promote talented people from poor families and give them a chance. Of course, if you have people with both ability and political integrity, you can also recommend them!"
As soon as the words fell, the court heard the news.
Promote a poor man? It's worth it.
"Why don't you speak?" Li Shilong asked.
"Your Majesty, people from a poor family are not very talented and have no education. It is better to select talents from various scholarly families!" A person stood up and said.
"That's right, for thousands of years, talents have been selected from various families. Why should a poor family go to court if they are so vulgar?"
As soon as these words came out, many people stood up to attack Li Shilong. Even Liang Zheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please consider it carefully!"
Li Shilong's face turned dark.
He just doesn't like to use people from aristocratic families. Talents are jointly controlled by aristocratic families. As the founding emperor, he can still suppress it. What if the prince comes to power in the future?
Can it be suppressed? Moreover, they joined forces from time to time to deny their own policies, which often made Li Shilong angry, but there was nothing they could do.
Now Li Shilong just said something and immediately attracted opposition from half of the people.
Qin Xiangru showed his list and said: "That bastard said that a noble son cannot come from a poor family? I come from a poor family. According to what you said, I am not qualified to stand in the court?"
Cheng Sanaxu also followed closely, "It's none of your business, why do you recommend your people? Your Majesty uses a poor family. I, old Cheng, am also a poor family. It's your turn to make irresponsible remarks here, like savage scholars?"
If we, poor people, hadn't worked so hard to survive, would we have the life you have today?
I think you just pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother, you are not a son of a man! "
Li Cungong said nothing because, like Li Shilong, he came from the Li family in Longxi.
There are also many generals who actually come from famous families, and they are not easy to talk to.
Therefore, the court fell into a strange situation. Qin Xiangru and Cheng Sanaxu fought fiercely with the Shilong was very happy to hear that.
"Mr. Wen Guo, I respect you as a great scholar of the time, and I just want to ask you, aren't you from a humble family worthy of leaping over the dragon's gate? Don't you deserve to stand out?
Let me ask you again, were you born a great Confucian who is famous all over the world? If everyone could decide their own origin, then there would be no common people in the world. Who wouldn’t want to be Wang Yan? "Qin Xiangru's few words left Liang Zheng speechless.
But that doesn't mean they compromised.
Even Cheng Sanaxu rolled up his sleeves, feeling like he was about to get started!
Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, Li Shilong had no choice but to go to the scene and start the fight himself.
A good court meeting almost turned into a martial arts meeting.
Li Shilong was so angry that he left the court.
Returning to the Ganlu Hall, Li Shilong paced angrily, "These people just want to control the government and won't let me use the poor family members, but I want to use them!"
But how to dismantle the family? He comes from a Guandong family, and he is well aware of the horror of family connections, and these families marry each other to consolidate their power.
When the Supreme Emperor was in power, he once issued a decree prohibiting marriage between Guandong families, which actually enhanced the reputation of the forbidden marriage family, and other wealthy families were all proud of marrying with it.
It can be said that this is also shooting oneself in the foot.
Two-thirds of his confidants are from famous families in Kanto, so he has very few supporters.
If it weren't for the support of Qin Xiangru, Cheng Sanfu and others, he would have become a complete joke in today's court meeting.
Just when Li Shilong had a headache, many people submitted memorials asking for their resignation. Not only that, most of them criticized Qin Xiangru and Qin Mo.
Seeing these resignations, Li Shilong almost lost his breath and vomited blood.
The atmosphere in Ganlu Hall was terrifyingly silent. Gao Shilian didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He knew very well that Li Shilong must want to kill someone now.
The most important thing is that they asked Li Shilong to cancel the marriage between Li Yushu and Qin Mo.
It is said that Qin Mo is not worthy of the eldest princess because he is a businessman, and Qin Mo has made a particularly bad start. If everyone follows his example in the future, it will give a very bad impression.
If they don't agree, they will resign and be dismissed from office.
In short, Li Yushu can marry anyone, but she can't marry Qin Mo! Li Shilong knew very well that this was the result of Qin Xiangru standing up to speak for him.
"Go and call Xiangru!"
At this time, Qin Mo left the palace. This time he put on earplugs to catch up on his sleep, feeling indescribably comfortable.
"Dad, I'm going to Haidilao first!"
Qin Mo said something and directly applied oil to the soles of his feet.
Not long after, Cheng Dabao and the others also came, and they all gathered around, "Idiot, can you take us to do it together with your briquettes?" Fool, how about I use my family's coal mountain to invest in shares? Give me one share, oh no, how about half a share? "Li Yongmeng couldn't help but said.
Liu Rujian regretted it very much now, "Fool, I regret it. You can do it with me. Isn't it just money? Can't I give it to you?"
Dou Yiai also held Qin Mo's hand, "Qin Mo, please help me, I really want to get rich!"
"Humph, why did you go there earlier? Now that I've made money, you want to join? No way!" Qin Mo had long known that Liu Rujian and Dou Yiai would regret it, "Okay, let's talk about this later. We'll have it later." A new friend is coming over, please be warm to me!"
