Chapter 144 Even if you are a eunuch, you should also be ideal.
"Look, my official position is different from that of others. At most, I just make inventions to make some money."
"When I didn't enter the government, I formed cliques for personal gain. Secondly, I had no disciples and old officials, so I was just like a dog. Thirdly, I had no real power and was unable to cause trouble."
"Except for beautiful women, I have no other hobbies."
"For a safe person like me, let alone living in a big house, I don't feel guilty living anywhere."
This guy is right, but don't even think about the palace.
That is a place only His Majesty can live in. The former Imperial Master is already your limit.
"Okay, since you have no problem, then the former Master Pang's Mansion will be yours."
"Although the house is still relatively new, it definitely has a lot of bumps and bruises. You can call on the Ministry of Works to repair it."
"The amount of the cost will be borne by me."
Li Xiuzhu nodded and left.
"Then, Your Majesty, I will leave now. Just tell me when you have implemented the plan."
"Well..." Li Kuo paused and continued: "You should also worry more about selling your job in the future."
To be honest, Li Kuo still hasn't figured out how someone could spend so much money to buy an official position. You must know that a ninth-grade idle official only earns 5-10 taels a month.
Fifty thousand taels, 50-100 taels a year without food or drink, you will never earn that much in a lifetime.
Li Xiuzhu felt numb after hearing Li Kuo's words. What's going on, you won't let me enjoy life anymore?
This can't be done!
Li Xiuzhu said: "Your Majesty, I think this official cannot be sold at will."
"Rare goods are rare. If they are too easy to obtain, the price will come down."
"Secondly, there are only so many wealthy families with no official status in the capital, and the rest are of the next level. Few of them can afford the price."
"I would say once a year is just right. It will be stuck in the total supply and demand. Too much is not enough."
After listening to Li Xiuzhu's words, Li Kuo calmed down a little. It was true that he had been a little carried away just now.
Just thinking about selling an official position once, or just a few small officials will almost catch up with the national treasury's half-year tax bill. Is there anything more profitable than this?
"The prince-in-law is right! Then just listen to the prince-in-law."
Your title really changes every day, but Li Xiuzhu didn't care about this trivial matter, but said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to send someone to monitor the idle positions. But the positions with real power must be monitored every three months. If it goes too far,
Now, I have to hug you when I need to hug you."
Li Xiuzhu just wanted to sell his official position to make some money, but he didn't want to be infamous for eternity. He could sell his official position, but he couldn't bring too much trouble to the local area.
"I suggest setting up a supervisory department that is only responsible to His Majesty and cannot be made public, otherwise it will make people suspicious."
"Regardless of whether they bought the official position or not, corruption has been banned repeatedly in the past dynasties, so we do not necessarily have to catch this wave of people who bought the official position. Those corrupt people are not poorer than these businessmen."
Li Kuo's eyes lit up. He was afraid of poverty these years, and the emperor's family had no food left.
"Here, does Aiqing have a plan?"
"Hmm~" You want me to work for free? No way, even if you give me money, I want to enjoy life.
"No! And this is your Majesty's personal power. Naturally, you should use the people around you. For example, I think Mr. Wang is very good."
Wang Defa?
Seeing the eyes of the two people looking at him, Wang De felt numb.
Can I do this? Observing words and emotions and having some martial arts are the limit of what I can do.
Wang Defa was about to cry, and said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, Prince Consort, please don't embarrass me."
"How can a slave, a eunuch who only knows how to flatter others, do this?"
Li Xiuzhu looked at Wang Defa and was a little speechless. Look at the Ten Changshi of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian, Liu Xi, Cao Zhengchun of the Ming Dynasty, etc.
Look at you again, you eunuch!
Think about how awesome the flowers in Yuhuatian are.
I want to control what Dongchang can control, and I want to control what Dongchang cannot control even more. I will kill first and then report, imperial power has granted me!
My child, you have to have ideals. How about I show him this storybook?
At this time, Li Kuo also looked at Li Xiuzhu. To be honest, he thought that Wang Defa was only good at martial arts and flattering others, but nothing else.
Li Xiuzhu thought for a while and said, "This matter is not urgent. Your Majesty can secretly see who is suitable."
"If you really can't find it, I'll help you look for recommendations next time. Of course, it's up to Your Majesty whether you use it or not."
It seems like this is the only way to go.
Li Kuo thought for a while, nodded, and agreed.
"Well, Your Majesty, can I go to Fengyang Pavilion and have a look?"
Li Kuo immediately smiled, it seemed that Li Xiuzhu really liked his girl.
Alas, what a pity, that girl is no longer pure and seems to be less perfect.
"Go ahead, you can have your meal in the princess's room."
Li Xiuzhu immediately smiled after hearing this.
I haven’t tried Baguio’s baby cabbage for many days, I hope I’ll have the chance this time.
This time it was still Wang De who sent Li Xiuzhu, but he left after delivering it.
Although he is a eunuch, he cannot enter Fengyang Pavilion.
He called a palace maid to take Li Xiuzhu outside Li Biyao's room.
At this time, Li Biyao was looking at the poem written by Li Xiuzhu in a daze.
"Dong dong dong~"
The sudden knock on the door made Li Biyao's master and servant startled.
"Yinzhan, go see what's going on."
He looked at the time again and continued: "Jinzhan, go get your lunch."
"Yes, princess!"
The two of them walked out together, and as soon as they opened the door, they were stunned.
"Consort..."
Consort? Li Biyao's heart skipped a beat, was it him?
Although I am looking forward to it, it seems that I have already confirmed it.
Sure enough, as the two women stepped aside, Li Xiuzhu's figure was revealed.
Li Biyao's heart felt sweet, as if filled with honey, and she quickly ran towards Li Xiuzhu.
The next breath he took, he fell into Li Xiuzhu's arms.
Li Xiuzhu hurriedly walked into the house, and the two women also closed the door from the outside very wisely.
The two people who had already eaten the marrow and knew its taste naturally could not just hold each other in a daze, and the next second they started to eat it.
Not long after, a faint sound came from the room. Fortunately, Li Biyao was still restrained. If he hadn't listened carefully, he wouldn't have been able to hear it.
As for Jinzhan, she went to get food, but she didn't get much.
If the consort sneaks in, taking too much will expose him.
And even if he didn't sneak in, Li Xiuzhu, the consort, couldn't eat in the palace without His Majesty's words.
But although she couldn't take more, she could ask for a little more. If she didn't eat it herself, it would be enough for the prince-consort.
When Jinzhan returned to Fengyang Pavilion, he was stunned when he saw Yinzhan still standing outside the door.
Before she could speak, Yinzhan raised his finger to signal her not to make a sound.
Jinzhan stepped forward, lay beside Yinzhan's ear and asked softly: "What's the situation now? Do you have to eat while chatting?"
Yinzhan blushed and whispered in Jinzhan's ear: "Listen carefully and don't make any noise. I'm going to get the princess some hot water."
Get hot water?
Jinzhan heard the sound and listened carefully, then his face turned red.
At the same time, Jinzhan's heart was tense, as if it was being tightened, and was beating violently.
How dare the consort and the princess? This is Fengyang Pavilion, the place where the princess is to be married.
