Poor family mother and son

Chapter 1159 Gathering wealth for the country ([-])

Liu Ju had never met Xiaobao, and maybe he had no impression of it. When he heard that Xiaobao asked about him, he did not respond to the question of whether Xiaobao respected him. Instead, he wanted to let Xiaobao comment.

Xiaobao is now 15 years old. He has a tall figure and a calm temperament. Even though he is hugged by the unattractive Chu Qing, he does not appear frivolous and has the air of a noble man.

"Are you the crown prince?" Liu Ju said, "You came just in time!"

Liu Ju was ready to have a good talk with Xiaobao.

It is true that Chu Qing is the official of Yong'an, but she is a woman after all. How much knowledge can a woman have?If she can figure out some inventions and creations, she is considered a great person. How can she be expected to know more?

The righteousness of family and country cannot be explained clearly to her!

"That's the thing," Liu Ju said, "I heard that the prince is also a scholar. Scholars are naturally sensible. Please tell me..."

Liu Ju took the draft of the contract that Chu Qing had just given him, and explained why he came, why Kelidi came, and how Chu Qing's contract was indistinguishable from both sides. Finally, he asked the same question: " Tell me, where does this place the imperial court? Does she still have the imperial court in her eyes?!"

Chu Qing scratched the back of his head and said to Xiaobao regretfully: "I'm so sorry, I made you worry!"

I just feel sorry for my son. His son came back in a storm. The mother should have quickly provided food and shelter for her son, but in the end, her son was grabbed and criticized by an old man!

This was Liu Yufang's grandfather. If it had been anyone else, Chu Qing would have ignored him.

"Liu Shangshu," Xiaobao quietly waited for Old Man Liu to finish his impassioned speech and asked, "You have been in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs for many years. Don't you see that Duke Yong'an is devoted to the imperial court?"

Liu Ju was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Xiaobao: "The imperial court does not have to pay taxes when buying things from Yong'an Gong, but the Kingdom of Vos still has to pay taxes to the imperial court, right?

Duke Yong'an opened several tax projects for the court, didn't he? "

Liu Ju was a little confused. Is that what you meant?No, he wanted to say that Duke Yong'an didn't give the court half a penny as a discount!
Whether it's distribution or consignment, no matter what you mean by selling this or that, in short, your quotation has not been reduced at all!
"Also," Xiaobao continued: "Grandpa Liu, if you accuse me of my mother's condition, who do you think I will go to?"

Liu Ju: "!!!"

Xiaobao raised his eyebrows, showing a naughty expression.

The first sentence drove Liu Ju, who represented the interests of the imperial court, to death, and the second sentence brought the two parties closer. He called "Grandpa Liu" and Liu Ju lost his temper.

You represent the court, but I represent my mother.

"Master Liu, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and live within one's means is the way of brokering both in the country and at home," Xiaobao said sternly: "Mr. Yong'an increases revenue and collects wealth for the country, but the Ministry of Revenue wants to save Yong'an's money?"

Little stars flashed in Chu Qing's eyes: He works tirelessly to fight for his mother and goes above and beyond, what a good son!
"Let's go, Grandpa Liu, don't think so much, dinner is ready." Xiaobao said at last.

"Grandpa Liu" and "Master Liu" are used interchangeably, constantly reminding Liu Ju that you'd better distinguish between public and private matters.

Don't rely on old people to talk in an elder's tone and speak like the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. It seems that you are very close to our family, but in fact it is damaging to my family and the imperial court.

Liu Ju blinked and murmured for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything. He only waved the back of his hand outward: "You go first, I'll change my clothes."

He looked a little tired.

He does seem to have some indifference between public and private matters.

Yu privately said that he felt that Chu Qing was young, a junior, and close to his granddaughter, so he did not dare and could not contradict him.

As for Yu Gong, even though Chu Qing has a title, he is the Minister of Household Affairs and a powerful figure, so Chu Qing should respect him.

Therefore, he believed that Chu Qing's attitude was not humility, but at least respectful.Now he knows that everything is his own.

He felt that in the eyes of Chu Qing, there was no difference between the Daxuan Imperial Court and the Voss Imperial Court. If she could make the Daxuan Imperial Court earn more tax money from the Voss Kingdom, it would be considered patriotic.

This is very different from Chu Qing's usual practice.

It can be said that Chu Qing's current change of attitude has made Daxuan's senior management very uncomfortable.

Everyone from the emperor to the ministers felt that she should be punished for whatever Chu Qing did in the past, just like her own servants. If she did things well, she should be punished.

They did not regard Chu Qing, who held an official position, as a person who could treat him as an equal.

On the contrary, when Chu Qing became bigger and bigger, it aroused their anger - how could a country woman be on an equal footing with high-ranking officials and dignitaries like them?
So whether it's suppression or strife, everything happens naturally.

Liu Ju suddenly remembered the emperor's words before leaving: "Talents are rare, and the court must treat talented people with caution and not let them down."

Even the emperor's attitude changed drastically, and he even said something like "helping Duke Yong'an fulfill his ambition to save the country". That is to say, the emperor also regarded Chu Qing as a powerful and prudent party.

Liu Ju actually thinks that his demands on Chu Qing are not excessive - don't you know the cost of your own things?Is it appropriate to sell it to the imperial court for such a high price?

Liu Ju had this idea with a clear conscience, because as far as he was concerned, he had worked hard all his life, lived only on his salary, and did not engage in crooked ways. He was very clean.

Therefore, he is qualified to ask others to do the same. He believes that since he is an official, everyone must perform their duties to the court.

For this reason, he only recognized Lao Huang Zhong among his friends in the officialdom, because they were kindred spirits.

Besides, as an elder, he also has the responsibility to persuade junior officials like Chu Qing to make selfless contributions.

Is there anything wrong with this?

…………

"Son, you are getting more and more aggressive now!" Chu Qing said, hugging his son's shoulders and walking all the way to his yard.

Praise is praise, but the mother has to control her son carefully: "However, after all, he is older and has a higher status, so we should be kinder;
Besides, there is nothing wrong with what he thinks. Just like your Grandpa Huang, he has devoted most of his life to his work and has no selfish motives. "

"Of course he is wrong!" Xiaobao retorted: "It is his attitude to do his best, but the contribution he made was limited to his position and did not create more value;
In this case, if he asks others to give more, he is being generous to others;

Mom, if you work overtime, your company has to pay you overtime pay. Can the accountant not let you get overtime pay just because he doesn’t want it?

Besides, you are generating revenue for the company. Does the accountant have the right to advise you to develop your style and not receive bonuses or commissions?So whose style is it carrying forward? "

"Well..." Chu Qing had some words, and Xiaobao's modern thoughts returned even more strongly. In Xiaobao's eyes, Liu Ju was just the accountant of the unit "Daxuan".

But this is not their world after all.

Chu Qing said: "We can't compare like that, this is not Daxuan!"

Xiaobao: "So what about Daxuan? Does the old man dare to persuade others to carry forward their style? Isn't this still a different treatment?
This prince wants to remind him that things are different now. Before you speak, open your eyes and see if Mr. Yongan is easy to bully! "

Realizing that his tone was harsh, Xiaobao glanced at Chu Qing: "Mom, I'm not angry at you, it's just... damn Daxuan!

I was very happy at first, but I was so disappointed!
Why does Sister Yufang have such a grandfather!It’s better for me, Grandpa Huang. Mom, I miss Grandpa Huang. "
