Prosperity of goods represents commerce and economy. Even if it is a luxury, it can harvest the money of wealthy gentry and powerful princes in the world, earn back to the national treasury and the court for use. This is a way to make money.
He didn't know that Su Yixuan had these abilities to investigate things before. When he learned about it, and Zhao Pu's reminder, he naturally took it seriously.
Zhao Pu smiled slightly. As long as his suggestions are reasonable, the official Zhao Kuangyin will generally accept them because the friendship between the two is too deep.
The first time he met with Zhao Kuangyin was in the Chuzhou meeting. After the two met, they became confidants and had a close relationship. Later, Zhao Kuangyin's brothers led troops outside. Zhao Pu served Zhao Kuangyin's bedside father for many months and served as the decoction of medicine on the side of the bed.
After the seven plans to determine Chen Qiao, launching the Chen Qiao mutiny, and then releasing military power with a cup of wine, Zhao Kuangyin was all about Zhao Pu's advice, and he was involved in it.
Just this year, after Zhao Kuangyin stabilized the situation in the Song Dynasty, he dismissed the three prime ministers of Later Zhou, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, who continued to Song. These three were all ministers of Chairong, who were entrusted by the Later Zhou Dynasty. After the Chenqiao mutiny, many ministers of Later Zhou were controlled. Fan Zhi and others were Pingzhang affairs, and the prime ministers of Later Zhou were threatened and had to be forced to support Zhao Kuangyin.
Now Zhao Kuangyin has quelled some of the rebellions of the Later Zhou generals, stabilized the domestic situation, and controlled the ministers in the court. Only then did he dismiss all three prime ministers in the court at once, appointed Zhao Pu as his subordinate minister, pacified Zhangshi, and the Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall, and helped Zhao Pu to the position of prime minister, and was the only prime minister!
In recent years, Zhao Kuangyin has always been a military general and has a more irritable temper. Thanks to Zhao Pu's advice and often comforting and giving advice, Zhao Kuangyin can be more mature in his work. Now he has become the lord of the Nine Five and relies more on Zhao Pu. He still attaches great importance to his opinions.
Zhao Kuangyin pondered: "I will ask Wudesi's spy network in Jiangnan to closely monitor this person's movements and the changes in the Tang Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Pu smiled and encouraged. Although he usually called the word "Official Family", sometimes, calling Your Majesty will seem even more serious.
Zhao Kuangyin put down his collection of poems and essays, looked at Zhao Pu, and asked, "This prime minister has been in office for a month, have you adapted?"
Zhao Pu politely said: "When I return to the official family, I am still adapting and governing the six ministries. This matter is very important. After all, I have no such experience before."
"Hahaha!" Zhao Kuangyin smiled heartily and said, "Look at me, I have no experience as a emperor before. I am not doing it well, and I have to do it better, not to be as good as those wise monarchs in history!"
Zhao Pu smiled and said, "How can I compare myself with the founding emperor of the lord? I know that my wisdom and talent are limited, so I should try my best to make up for it by relying on acquired efforts to be a competent prime minister."
He invisibly flattered him again. Even though Zhao Kuangyin was a wise and powerful monarch, no one was too proud of him and smiled very much.
"The two deputys I'm qualified to you, Lu Yuqing and Xue Juzheng, are they all competent, right?" Zhao Kuangyin asked again.
Zhao Pu replied: "It's okay, and the ability and talent are still acceptable."
Zhao Kuangyin said, "I have summoned two people alone and mentioned them to them that they will not let them take charge of the seal, and they will not be allowed to be the foreman of court officials. They should not be reported separately, but only as your deputy. In the future, we will decide whether to have big or small matters in the court. At that time, you can write a memorial and I will draw a circle and approve the money for you, and you can pass it."
Zhao Pu smiled bitterly in his heart. This was too rash. Although he was grateful to Zhao Kuangyin for valuing him and trusting him, he did not dare to accept the order. He bowed: "This is not appropriate for the official family. The emperor cannot just write circles and approve the pass. The imperial court has rules and regulations and procedures. The omnipotence is only the official family and the minister, and the matter in the world will be determined."
Seeing his righteous words, Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly. He was just a joke just now, expressing his trust in Zhao Pu. Since the other party is so sensible, knows how to advance and retreat, and is not arrogant or impatient, he is quite satisfied.
