The first thousand one hundred and seventy-six chapters laugh without saying a word
The next day, Zhou Shuren entered the palace and noticed a box in front of the emperor's table. He couldn't help but take a few more glances, and these two eyes made the emperor notice.
The emperor smiled, "Shu Ren, but I'm curious about what's here?"
Zhou Shuren, “...No, not curious.”
He was really not curious, just took a look at it. It was the first time that someone had kept putting the folds on the table.
Eunuch Liu came in at this time, "The King of Qi and His Highness of Chu asked for a meeting."
Emperor, "Yeah."
Zhou Shuren stood aside easily and gave up his seat to the King of Qi and King of Chu. The two princes entered the palace together, which showed that it was a big deal.
King Qi stood up and saw the box at a glance. This box was so mature. Yesterday he asked the waiter he saw, his pupils were tightened, "Father, who gave you this box?"
Yesterday, the merchant had been bewitching Marquis Rong in the box. They were afraid that the many good things they gave were harmful, so they did not attend court today and went to the palace.
The emperor ordered the box, "Are you curious?"
The King of Qi came back to his senses, "I heard something in my restaurant. My son was not curious, but I was afraid that someone had ulterior motives and would not be good for my father."
The emperor looked at the two sons below. The King of Qi had a good grandfather who could stretch and shrink. Among the few sons, he now became the most casual one. The King of Chu was unwilling to accept it, but the prince was pinched to death and was pressed to death.
The emperor thought that the fourth son, who had been offending people now, was about to offend all the powerful people in the capital, and the prince also liked to use swords. However, he was reluctant to use his son. The prince was willing to give up. The fourth son was easier to use than any sword.
When the emperor saw that his son really cared about him, he felt warm. It was not in vain that he was worried about his sons. He opened the box in his hand and signaled Zhou Shuren to step forward, "Shuren should know this thing the most, and the first thing to say is Shuren who is prohibited from entering the country."
Zhou Shuren had already seen the things in the box. Don’t worry about the paste, it was actually opium. He frowned and said, “Any one of them smuggled?”
The emperor, "Well, smuggling is never stopped."
Especially for goods with high customs taxes, and the Maritime Department is now poor, some rats in it are fattened, so they turn a blind eye to some inspections to cover them.
Zhou Shuren was silent. Not to mention that there were no modern technological conditions in ancient times, even if it was still banned in modern times, the means of smuggling are eye-opening. "I think fines are good."
Since it cannot be banned and tough measures cannot be used, then you will be fined and you can get more money into the treasury. If the punishment hurts, you will be restrained. If you don’t restrain yourself, you will be decisive.
The emperor nodded, then said, "This thing smuggled in and left the business in the northwest. It can be seen that there are still people in China who are sucking such harmful things, and this kind of thing must not be tolerated."
Zhou Shuren was very glad that he came to this dynasty. Although the previous and late dynasties were incompetent, they also changed history. Now he continues to change history. His thoughts have influenced the emperor and the crown prince. In the future, he will go further and change more.
Zhou Shuren's eyes were filled with smiles, "I think we should increase publicity on its harm. Now there are clinics hanging in official uniforms everywhere, so clinic publicity is the most suitable one."
Doctor, in ancient times, doctors had a high status in the hearts of the people. If the officials were poor, the people would doubt it, but the doctors really didn’t. It was closely related to physical health, and the people would have a deep memory.
The emperor's eyes lit up a little, "Shu Ren's proposal is good."
Zhou Shuren continued: "I want to let someone draw some paintings to promote, but not many people are literate."
In ancient times, there were the most illiterate people, and it was more convenient to draw.
King Qi kept tilting his head and listening, his eyes flashing. Zhou Shuren's talent was difficult to ignore. How could his father and prince let go of Zhou Shuren with outstanding ability?
Zhou Shuren left first and left the palace. Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes. The emperor did not say some officials of the Maritime Affairs Department. It seemed that the emperor would leave it to the crown prince to establish his authority. As for opium, the emperor meant to wait for some time. The Zhang family took the bait, so they had to hide it first.
In the palace, the King of Chu had a dark face, "Father, Marquis Rong had ulterior motives, so please let the Emperor decide."
The King of Qi looked at King Chu speechlessly. The father obviously knew the actions of Marquis Rong. The third brother was too fake. Even if he acted in moderation, he should be moderate. Don’t speak as if he was giving up his wisdom.
The Emperor, “...you lost without any wickedness.”
The King of Chu was embarrassed and showed too much concern. He lowered his head and did not speak.
Since the emperor opened the box in front of his two sons, he had no intention of continuing to hide it from his two sons. Compared with the King of Qi, the King of Chu still knew less.
The emperor patiently told everything, and some of the things that the King of Qi didn't know were also solved. The one who was most shocked was the King of Chu.
The King of Chu was stunned and a little stupid. For the sake of his father's operation, he asked his son's surname to be Ning. This operation was amazing. Looking at the calm appearance of his second brother, he felt a little wronged, so he knew the least.
The King of Qi patted the King of Chu on the shoulder, "Think of the Fourth Old."
The King of Chu was in a good mood and had a fourth brother.
The prince looked at the King of Chu with a smile without saying a word. He thought that although the younger brothers were so silly, they were really stupid when they were stupid. And thinking about the kindness of joining in the fun and taking advantage of the situation, they were really brothers.
Two days later, Dali Temple came up with a lot of evidence and proposed to arrest Marquis Yao, and the emperor suppressed the memorial.
Ministry of Revenue, Qiu Yan said quietly: "The Yao clan was so glorious at the time. You don't know how many people please Yao Wenqi when the dynasty was first established. It's only been a few years now."
Zhou Shuren knew that Qiu Yan was not sympathizing with Yao Wenqi, but just sighed more. "The way he walked on his knees must be completed. Good results are achieved. Obviously, the Yao Hou Mansion has always been wrong, but the reality is just a consequence of eating bad results."
Qiu Yan said quietly: "Yes."
He is not stupid. The Bai family's case has been dragging on, and there must be problems. It can be seen that the Yao family not only betrayed the Rong family, but also violated the emperor's taboo, and dared not think or think.
Zhou Shuren thought that the emperor had accelerated his encirclement and suppression, and now Yao Wenqi has become an important bait.
Qiu Yan continued: "Marty Rong asked for leave from time to time."
Zhou Shuren naturally knew, "Don't you care about these things?"
Qiu Yan, "I don't care, but it's not good to be too much. Our Ministry of Revenue has no idle jobs."
I really thought he wanted to take care of it, but he had inadvertently eavesdropped on some conversations from officials of the Ministry of Revenue, so I reminded Zhou Shuren that Zhou Shuren and Rong Enqing still have some relatives now.
In the academy, Ran Xun had been holding on for a lesson, and finally waited until his husband left and pulled Mingteng, "My grandfather received a post from your mansion."
Mingteng knew, "Yes."
