Understood!

Yuan Xi fully understood, but after understanding it, he felt creepy.

He asked himself that after so many years, he had been crossing more bridges than others, and had eaten more salt than others, and had never seen anything, but now he thinks he is really just a small shrimp in front of politicians like Han Yi and Li Zhi.

This is the real way to turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain.

Who would have thought that this restriction of slaves was just to ignite the fuse of sending troops to Goguryeo, and had nothing to do with slaves themselves. The real purpose was to induce wealthy businessmen in Shandong to take out the food and grass, because nothing was more cost-effective than using local materials. Moreover, Han Yi said the truth this time, and he only planned to let the treasury pay less than 30% of the food and grass. It can be imagined that this would involve many people.

Under the emperor's benevolent government, there was such a big conspiracy hidden, and it was full of shameful activities.

After understanding the reason for the matter, Yuan Xi asked very realistically: "What can our Yuan family get?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "I won't say much about this person and resources. Although Goguryeo and Baekje are only small, there is a piece of land there. In exchange for the food and grass for the troops sent this time, it is more than enough. Therefore, don't worry about not having equal returns. I will customize a reasonable quotation for you when the time comes. Moreover, this is only second. After that, the court will hand over the management of that place to you merchants."

Yuan Xi said in surprise: "Is this true?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "As long as you want."

Yuan Xi was very guilty when he heard this and said, "How do you say this?"

Han Yi said: "Uncle, think about it, our Central Plains region has always been calling for the victory of virtue and His Majesty is also benevolence and righteousness. Then this kind of transaction is naturally not suitable for the court to do it. Therefore, you have to do these dirty things at that time. I will instruct the military to complete the transaction with you privately. For example, digging coal, cutting trees, and building roads, these are just transactions. The court will not dominate these matters, so the management power must be handed over to you, but the court will send troops to protect your rights and interests in the local area."

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said, "You are too smart." He felt that he was being made full use of these politicians.

Han Yi smiled and said, "To put it nicely, each performs its own duties, and the bad ones are mutual use. You just make money. You have to dig the coal, either I dig or you dig it. This is normal. However, there will only be people who accuse Your Majesty of tyranny, and no one will say that the merchants are tyranny. In this way, Your Majesty's reputation will not be hurt, and you can also gain huge benefits from it. Everyone will get what they deserve."

By this point, Yuan Xi could not say no to do it. Moreover, even if he didn't do it, Han Yi could find other merchants because there was indeed a lot of profits, especially resources and abilities, which are difficult to obtain in the Central Plains at present, and it was too tempting. He said, "I will instruct Yuan Zhe and the others to do this. I don't need to explain it to them. I think the fewer people know about this, the better."

Han Yi smiled.

Yuan Xi said: "Don't worry, Peony won't ask too much."

As expected, after Han Yi went out, Yuan Mudan didn't ask any more questions. Han Yi had hinted to her, if you ask, I'll tell you, I believe you completely, but Yuan Mudan directly said that she didn't need to tell her. Although Yuan Mudan had married Han Yi, she was born in the Yuan family after all, and the rules of the Yuan family have been integrated into her bones. Moreover, her own philosophy of doing things is to be careful so that she will not be confused. Since Yuan Xi asked them to leave in advance, she would never ask too much, although she also wanted to know.

Of course, whether she asks or not, she can't change anything. The emperor is also involved, and she may not be able to change the emperor's mind.

Sixth House of Sages.

"How can this be done? Di Renjie is a talent that our Sixth Academy of Sages is focusing on training. How can you transfer him to the Civil Security Bureau?"

When Li Chunfeng heard the news, he seemed very excited, which shows that he liked the child Di Renjie very much.

Han Yi shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Shi Shi Li, your words are too subjective and biased."

Li Chunfeng wondered: "Where is my biased statement?"

Han Yi said angrily: "Who is Di Renjie in our Sixth Academy of Sages? What kind of great contributions did he have made, the only thing he did outstandingly is the official prostitute, which has nothing to do with our Sixth Academy of Sages. Who is the real talent in our Sixth Academy of Sages? Of course, it is our President Yun. If anyone dares to poach Mr. Yun, I will fight with anyone. This is absolutely true."

Li Chunfeng was stunned. You usually look down on Di Renjie. This is faster than turning aside from reading books. He said, "But Di Renjie has made some achievements in academics."

Han Yi said: "There are too many ninth-rank academicians who have made achievements like this, and Di Renjie is quite ordinary. In addition, the Changsun Shaojian left the Civil Security Bureau, which is a shortage of talents."

Li Chunfeng said: "There are more talents in the court."

Han Yi nodded and said, "There are many people in the court, but none of them are mine."

Li Chunfeng looked at Han Yi in a little surprised.

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is the truth. There are five people in the Civil Security Bureau. Now the three have colluded and bullied me everywhere. Therefore, this person must be mine, otherwise I will have no status there. Of course I will not agree to this. Then I thought of Di Renjie."

Li Chunfeng only felt that Han Yi was too open and honest. He could only say in his heart that he was ruthless in forming cliques for personal gain, that he could only say in his heart—You are cruel enough.

Just then, someone from below informed me, "Report to President, Academician Di is here."

"Let him come in."

"yes."

After a moment, Di Renjie walked in and respectfully bowed to the two of them.

Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "Die Renjie, I remember that you mentioned the law many times in your article on the Jinshi exam, which shows that you are quite familiar with the law!"

Di Renjie was stunned at first, not sure about it, and replied: "The officials have a little bit of knowledge in the law."

Han Yi said with a tweet, "Do you know which trait I hate most about you scholars?"

Di Renjie shook his head confused.

Han Yi said: "Humility. You scholars should be humble and not humble. They always refer to classics and bully others for not reading any books. They should not be humble and humble. When you say this, I have no clue in my heart!"

Di Renjie became even more confused.

"Okay, OK."

Han Yi waved his hand and said, "You memorize the law of the lawsuit in Tang Rule and explain it to me one by one."

Di Renjie said: "Dare you ask why Shangshu Han wants to recite the law of fighting lawsuits?"

Han Yi said: "Because I am not only the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but also the President."

"The lower official obeys the order."

Di Renjie looked embarrassed, his delicate face flushed, and he wiped his sweat, then he started to recite it, and explained it to Han Yi one by one.

Han Yi took a few more examples to test him.

Di Renjie answered in a slight manner, and even Li Chunfeng nodded frequently when he heard it, and he felt even more reluctant to let it go.

"You're the one!"

Han Yi made a decision and stood up and said, "Congratulations, you have been promoted."

Di Renjie was stunned when it became so simple to get promoted. I just said it casually and got promoted. I wanted to memorize the entire Tang Lu, so wouldn't I have to be the prime minister? This is really a bit fake. He said embarrassedly: "Shangshu Han, don't tease the officials."

"Teaching?" Han Yi took out an edict from his sleeve, "I'm going to tease you with His Majesty's edict? Are you crazy, or am I crazy?"

Di Renjie looked at the edict in shock.

Han Yi handed over and said, "You can see it yourself. Your Majesty personally gave the order to promote you to the Seventh-rank official position of Chalu Shaocheng of the People's Security Bureau today."

Because when Changsun Yan took office, Changsun Wuji was still in power, at least the fifth rank or above, Di Renjie could not directly be promoted to the fifth rank, because the fifth rank is a hurdle, and the fifth rank or above is a great prize. Han Yi also made great contributions at the beginning and was promoted to the fifth rank, so he could only get another official title and transfer Di Renjie to the next rank first.

Although Di Renjie knew that Han Yi was not so stupid as to forge an imperial edict to tease him, it was too incredible. He quickly took the edict and saw that it was true. He looked at Han Yi in confusion, "This - why is this?"

"What else can you do? Of course it's because you are handsome!" Han Yi said angrily.

"ah?"

Di Renjie opened his eyes wide and looked at Han Yi.

Li Chunfeng couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Okay, okay, you are really. How old he is, don't tease him."

Han Yi said angrily: "I said to Mr. Li, I am about the same age as him, don't say that I am as old as you."

Li Chunfeng suddenly reacted and looked at Han Yi awkwardly, as if asking, "Would you say that?"

"Just, joke!"

Han Yi smiled and said to Di Renjie again: "Di Renjie, do it well. Even if you don't want to be yourself, you have to make a sigh of relief for me. Do you know that I was disgusted by those birdmen and did not sleep well all night in order to promote you? If something goes wrong, some birdmen will definitely push the blame down on me."

Di Renjie was stunned and woke up from his dream. Although he was not sure about the reason, it was definitely a great joy. He quickly saluted Han Yi and said, "Thank you for your kindness in the promotion. Renjie will definitely not let Han down."

Han Yi immediately said to Li Chunfeng: "I'm so excited to see if he saw it. I've long said that they don't want to stay here, and you still force them to keep them."

Di Renjie hurriedly said, "Shangshu Han, Taishi Li, this is not what the lower official means."

Li Chunfeng said: "You don't need an explanation. Don't I understand him yet? I always speak so sarcastic."

“It’s humor.”

"Even if it's humorous, it's shameless. You're clearly just making fun of teasing others."

"Taishi Li, you really mean it." Han Yi said: "When did I tease him normally? But today he was promoted. If I tease him, he will never be angry."

Di Renjie nodded repeatedly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the lower official knows that Han Shangshu has no malicious intentions."

"See if you see!"

Just then, a pen-pal official dressed in the uniform of the Ministry of Revenue walked in and said, "Report to the Secretary of Han, Minister Zhang, the villain, ordered the villain to come and inform Secretary Han that Chief Zheng has returned."

"It's time to come." Han Yi smiled and said, "You go back and let Director Zheng have a good rest and come to Xiao's house to find me tomorrow."

"Affect the order."
