Seven days later.
Wei Shuyu embarked on his way home.
He didn't bother to care about the evil done by the Wu brothers themselves.
"Wei Shuyu, wait for me."
Wu Qiqi said goodbye reluctantly: "When I save enough money, I will go to Chang'an to buy a house."
"okay."
Wei Shuyu said speechlessly: "Don't send me away. If you continue to send me away, you will end up in Chang'an."
"That's okay."
Wu Qiqi replied nonchalantly: "I will come back with dad then."
"..."
Wei Shuyu sighed: "I'm afraid if you keep sending me away like this, I won't be able to enter the city before dark, and I will have to sleep in the wilderness."
"oh."
Wu Qiqi then gave up and shouted from behind: "Then be careful on the road."
"You must give the gifts I gave to Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei to them."
"Also, women are liars. Don't trust their words. It's best not to even talk to them."
"besides……"
Wei Shuyu fled on horseback.
If you don't leave, you may not be able to leave even when the sun sets.
Two days later.
Wei Shuyu arrived in Chang'an.
As soon as I entered the city gate, a shout rang in my ears...
"Wei Shuyu is back!"
After shouting, the man ran away again.
what's going on?
This scene made Wei Shuyu confused?
Seeing someone selling onion pancakes at a stall, Wei Shuyu got off his horse and bought a few.
"Do you want it?"
Wei Shuyu suddenly turned around and asked the bandit.
"Yes, I'm already hungry." The bandits nodded in unison.
have to.
The stall owner has taken on a big business and needs to work for a while.
I was bored waiting for the stall owner to make pancakes.
A group of merchants hurriedly ran in the distance...
"Mr. Wei, you are finally back."
"Mr. Wei, you have to make the decision for us."
"Mr. Wei, if you don't come back, we won't be able to survive."
The merchants cried and shouted one by one.
He wanted to step forward and hug Wei Shuyu's thigh, but was forced back by the bandits.
"Don't yell, I'm not a doctor now." Wei Shuyu took a bite of the scallion pancake.
"Except for you, the doctor, we don't recognize anyone else!"
"Yes, you will always be the doctor!"
"We only recognize you, Mr. Wei, as the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce!"
Merchants rushed to express their loyalty one by one.
"What's wrong with you?"
Wei Shuyu was extremely speechless: "Who bullied you so miserably?"
"Prince."
"King Wei."
"King of Shu."
"King Yan."
"Cui Tietou (Dasha) (Toutie) (Villain) (Stupid)"
"Li Chongyi."
The merchants all said indignantly.
"Stop, stop, stop, who is it?" Wei Shuyu asked confused.
"All of them, all of them!" a merchant said.
"..."
Can you speak properly?
In order to avoid another riot, Wei Shuyu pointed to one person: "You, tell me the whole story."
"Mr. Wei, this is what happened..."
As the other party told him, Wei Shuyu finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.
The civil and military officials were quarreling over the position of the head of the Ministry of Commerce.
Li Shimin couldn't delay it even if he wanted to...
In the end, Cheng Yaojin made a stupid move.
The easiest way to prove who is capable is to compete.
Everyone does it!
Whoever does a good job will be rewarded!
So how can we call it a good job?
Of course, it is to generate income for the court...
Then the merchants suffered.
King Wei proposed that taxes should be increased in prosperous areas.
The King of Shu proposed: To rectify the market, first change the weather. In fact, it means charging a cleaning fee.
Cui Shenji was even more violent. He formed a law enforcement brigade and patrolled the mutual market with a large group of people every day. If he encountered anyone causing trouble, he would care about you and beat him up first, and then... fine him!
Li Chongyi... made a lot of suggestions, but no one liked him.
"That's pretty good."
Wei Shuyu rubbed his eyebrows.
He thought that the court would cause trouble, but he didn't expect that so many people would be sent to cause trouble...
"Let's go to Hu County first."
Wei Shuyu stuffed the scallion pancakes into his mouth.
at the same time.
royal palace.
Li Shimin looked at the report under his hand, his face extremely dark.
It fell again, and it fell again.
Li Shimin was very happy a few days ago because his income has indeed increased.
He was still embarrassed in front of Wei Zheng for a long time.
But now...
To generate income for the court?
If this continues, no one will buy or sell on the mutual market.
"Asshole!"
"Everyone knows how to exploit the people, and they don't even have any good ideas."
Li Shimin angrily threw the report on the Long case.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Wei Zheng bowed and said, "Being angry is not good for a dragon's body."
snort.
Li Shimin turned his head.
Old Wei is not a human subject, so he will definitely plead with Wei Shuyu again.
Sure enough, as soon as the idea came to his mind, Wei Zheng spoke up...
"For the sake of the common people in the world."
"For the sake of the Ministry of Commerce."
"For the sake of the merchants all over the world..."
"Your Majesty also requests that Shu Yu be reinstated to his official position."
Li Shimin didn't reply.
He is the emperor.
If you say it out loud, it's just water thrown out. How can you take it back?
"Your Majesty, merchants are now complaining."
"When merchants go to other places to trade, they only need to pay a tax."
"Yuxian County has to pay taxes and various other miscellaneous fees."
"If it is not stopped, Hu County will become an empty city!"
Wei Zheng looked solemn.
Hu County was built by his own son.
There was no way he would let his son's hard work be ruined.
"I am training the director of the Commercial Department."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said: "When we find the person in charge, we will find out..."
"His Majesty!"
Wei Zheng suddenly shouted loudly.
Li Shimin was startled.
Ho ho ho, you are the only one with a big throat, Old Wei, right?
"Don't you realize the seriousness of the matter?"
Wei Zheng's eyes narrowed, he took a step forward and bowed: "Based on the current situation in Hu County..."
"Officials abuse their power and exploit the people's wealth!"
"The imperial court imposed excessive levies and levies, and merchants were filled with mourning!"
"Your Majesty is ignorant and ignorant, and the people are suffering unspeakably!"
boom.
Li Shimin slapped the dragon table with his palm, his face so gloomy that it seemed like he could bleed.
"Wei Zheng, you are so brave!"
Li Shimin pointed at Wei Zheng and yelled: "How dare you scold me!"
"Your Majesty is aware of this."
Wei Zheng bowed and responded: "I am not scolding you, this is just the voice of the common people in the world."
"Huxian County has already aroused public dissatisfaction."
"If we don't stop it, it may become a fact!"
"The people above are always talking about fighting, but the people have to suffer because of it. This is a taboo for those in power!"
"I once again implore your Majesty..."
"Recall Shuyu and let him serve as the head of the Ministry of Commerce."
Li Shimin had a cold face.
In this current situation, it is indeed the best way to let Wei Shuyu come back to take charge.
but……
My golden words!
And I don’t accept your attitude, Lao Wei!
I want to stand up.
"Asshole."
Li Shimin angrily slapped Long An: "You still have the nerve to choke on me."
"The culprit that caused this situation is not your precious son."
"If he hadn't listened to me, would it have turned into this?"
Wei Zheng was stunned.
Shit the blame, right?
My old Wei family will not bear this responsibility!
"His Majesty."
Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Shu Yu just asked for leave at the beginning, but he didn't say he would be dismissed from office."
"You Wei Duzi, you still blame me, right?"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and cursed: "Then why didn't you break your son's legs to prevent him from going to Xiangzhou?"
"Your Majesty, let's discuss the matter."
"I'm just arguing with you, why don't you stop your son?"
"Shu Yu has been dismissed from office, how can I stop him?"
"You can break his legs to stop it!"
"..."
Wei Zheng raised his eyelids.
Playing a rogue, right?
"Even if I was wrong in the first place..."
"Whatever?"
Li Shimin's eyes widened: "It's your fault!"
"I know my mistake!"
Wei Zheng bowed: "In order to make up for the mistake, I kindly ask your Majesty to recall Shu Yu!"
"Your Majesty, we have already made a mistake once."
"We can't make the same mistake again and again!"
