The moon is bright, the wind is clear, and the night is frosty.
Winter in the north is known as the sky is light and the night is long, it is the kind of real long night.
Let's take a look at the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Imperial Palace. The lights are brightly lit at this time, as bright as day.
As soon as Mao hour arrived, the sound of drums started.
Look, the princes and ministers are lined up on both sides, with respectful expressions, waiting for the upcoming omen.
Not long after, the emperor made his debut.
I saw him stepping on the nodes of elegant music in an ups and downs, and with the support of the great eunuch San Dezi, he walked leisurely to the golden dragon chair on the imperial steps.
The morning morning of a new day officially began in this atmosphere.
The morning meeting of the country comes earlier than the rooster. Perhaps when you hear the rooster crow, the world has already been decided.
But today, it is a little bit special.
Because, among the ministers below, a new face appeared.
This person is none other than Qi Dalang, a fourth-grade sesame official who was specially approved to go to court. In the eyes of outsiders, being able to bask in this kind of deep divine grace makes people more than envious, jealous, and hateful?
According to the current system, any Beijing official below the third rank is not eligible to participate in the morning dynasty. Local officials have even more restrictions. Regardless of their rank, they are not qualified to enter the palace.
It can also be seen that the holy favor that Qi Yu received is indeed not that high.
As for what the emperor was thinking, it is still unknown.
However, Qi Yu was confident.
Back to business.
After the ceremonial music played by the Si Music Department was completed, the morning court began the process of playing.
"If you have the foundation, you will play early, but if you don't have the foundation, you will retreat from the court!" The energetic San Dezi said loudly with his head held high beside the imperial chariot.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately responded.
"The humble minister Wu Wanrong has something to report!"
"allow!"
The emperor nodded calmly and said calmly.
Wu Wanrong came out with a scepter and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Qi Yu, the governor of Qiongzhou, because he was lawless and did whatever he wanted in administration during his tenure."
drink!
As soon as these words came out, the smell of gunpowder immediately became strong.
The emperor was slightly startled, but he still said: "Wu Aiqing, do you have proof that you have won the honor? Don't let a good man be wronged."
Wu Wanrong replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, there is enough evidence to prove that during his tenure in Qiongzhou Prefecture, Qi Yu indulged his merchants in trading with overseas countries. His actions were against the imperial court. I hope your majesty will punish him for his crimes!"
The emperor nodded seemingly neutrally, and then Qi Yu smiled and said, "Qi Aiqing, do you have any excuse for this?"
"Your Majesty, the ban on foreign trade is a decree issued during the maritime ban, and our state government has already obtained permission, so there is no illegality. In other words, whether we, Qiongzhou, trade with the mainland, or trade with other countries, They are all within the allowed legal scope." Qi Yu replied calmly.
The lifting of the sea ban in Qiongzhou was something that the entire court knew about. Wu Wanrong asked questions even though he knew it, which was a bit puzzling.
In fact, his real intention was the next sentence.
"So, you admit that you have done business with foreign countries?"
Wu Wanrong, a drunkard, didn't care about drinking. He caught the loophole in his words and asked.
Qi Yu's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "So what if I do it? As long as it complies with the laws of my great faith, what kind of business cannot be expanded?"
"Haha, if it only complies with the law but violates morality, then what should we do?"
wrong!
There is something in his words!
Although he was pulled into the pit, Qi Yu did not panic at all, and still said calmly: "May I ask Mr. Wu, which part of the business and trade under my rule in Qiongzhou violates morality?"
Wu Wanrong chuckled, but took out a jar of tiger balm from his arms, and then said: "This thing is a magical medicine special to your Qiongzhou. Although it is quite expensive, it has very excellent pain relief effects." It has an itch effect. However, you only sell such good things to people from other countries for enjoyment and do not distribute them to the country at all. This is obviously that you have been dazzled by the interests and only recognize money in your eyes. You are so admiring of foreign countries. , is tantamount to counting classics and forgetting one’s ancestors!”
I bother!
This is just a very common marketing strategy. How can it be labeled as forgetting one’s ancestors after reading classics?
However, what I didn't expect was that Wu Wanrong's words actually received a response. Many people agreed and gave a thumbs up to support this point of view.
Well……
Only then did Qi Yu realize that the influence of Tiger Balm was much greater than he imagined. At the moment, it has become close to public
secret.
The idea of selling only overseas and not domestically was to keep a low profile. However, after Wu Wanrong's artistic processing, the taste completely changed.
Let's think about how to resolve this matter.
Hey! Got it!
Qi Yu's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "I thought that Mr. Wu, standing like a dog in the temple, must have more insights than our local officials. But I never thought that your knowledge is actually better than that of our local officials. Not as big as our four-year-old children in Qiongzhou!"
When Wu Wanrong heard this, he said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! I am deeply familiar with ancient and modern classics and have extensive knowledge of history and humanities. How can I be inferior to your children's words in a remote place?"
"You do not believe?"
"Of course I don't believe it!"
"Okay, I'll explain the truth." Qi Yu said with a faint smile.
"Want to hear the details!" Wu Wanrong rolled his eyes at him and said angrily.
"Let's put it this way, even four-year-old children have heard the fable of the pony crossing the river. The general idea is that for unknown things, you must explore them before you can make a correct conclusion. And the research on drugs The same goes for usage.”
"Only drugs that have been tested in practice can be sold to the world with more confidence, otherwise it will be irresponsible. Tiger balm is a new drug, and no one knows how effective it is. In view of this, I, Qiongzhou, will use people from other countries to do it first After testing, it is confirmed that it has no toxic or side effects, and then it will be used by the Chinese people in the mainland. This is a responsible approach, but how come it has become a classic and forgotten ancestor in your mouth?" Qi Yu snorted coldly, road.
What? Are people from other countries guinea pigs?
Is this the truth?
Wu Wanrong was dubious when he heard this, and then asked: "The drug...is there really any test?"
Qi Yu said contemptuously: "You still claim to be a meditator of ancient and modern classics. How can you not listen to Shen Nong and taste hundreds of herbs? If there is no practical trial, where is the pharmacological basis?"
this……
After moving Shennong out, everyone stopped talking.
Yes, who dares to question the ancient saints?
"Okay, even if you are right! Then, how do you explain the private manufacturing of arms in Qiongzhou?" Wu Wanrong was still unwilling to give up, changed the topic and continued to ask aggressively.
These words...
The question was a bit explicit.
How should Qi Dalang answer?
