back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 664 Plugging the Loophole

Lu Chengqi is in a good mood, um, maybe men feel like this after "eating" just now, right?Humming the tune of later generations, Lu Chengqi's thoughts were scattered...

Feeling ecstatic, not thinking about food and tea, when distracted, I was thinking about last night...

After all, Zhou Zhiruo was different from Jinxuan, and Lu Chengqi was born to Jinxuan only out of a man's natural reaction to beautiful women.And with Zhou Zhiruo, that is the perfect harmony, whether it is physically or mentally.This feeling is so wonderful, it's like being a fairy.No wonder people say that they only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals, and they really don't want to do it for immortals!
What's so good about being a god? If you want to do it, you have to be the Jade Emperor and command the gods. Otherwise, if you're a little god, you can only obey others.Secondly, it must be the Tathagata Buddha, but the Tathagata Buddha cannot eat meat, cannot marry a wife, and it is not easy to do it.Last but not least, it has to be Zhenyuan Daxian, at least he is the ancestor of the earth, and the Jade Emperor has to give three points of face...

Lu Chengqi didn't know why, and his thinking became more and more biased. Just when he was lamenting how wonderful it is to be a "corrupt" emperor, someone came to add to the trouble.

"Your Majesty, Xu Chongguang, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet outside the palace, seeks an audience."

Lu Chengqi withdrew his thoughts, and looked at Gao Hao with "resentment", which made Gao Hao terrified. "Okay, that old man has seen it since he was in court. He looks very preoccupied. It seems to be about Jiangnan. You call him to see him!" Lu Chengqi is not stupid, he knows that Xu Chongguang's thoughts can be floated on his face Just one thing, develop Jiangnan.Lu Chengqi knew this kind of people too well. This kind of people wanted to be famous and not gain money, and they only wanted to leave a name in history.Since Xu Chongguang became the chief assistant of the cabinet, although he has worked hard, he can be regarded as written in the history, but how can he be "satisfied" with such a mediocre job?No, as soon as the development of Jiangnan fell on his shoulders, this person got busy.Because Xu Chongguang knows very well that as long as Jiangnan develops similarly to the Central Plains in the future, his name will definitely shine in the history, maybe it will still be a "name".

Lu Chengqi wanted Jiangnan, Xu Chongguang wanted his name, and the two hit it off immediately, working hand in hand... Cough cough, no, a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a thin figure blocked the sunlight coming in from the arched hall, and the hall was dark.Not long after, the man held the imperial wat, went forward and bowed to salute: "My minister Xu Chongguang, see Your Majesty!"

"Xu Qing, if I'm not mistaken, there are some clues about the Jiangnan incident?" Lu Chengqi said with a smile, "Come here, show the chief assistant a seat."

Gao Hao was clever, and personally carried a chair in, put it behind Xu Chongguang, and said in a low voice, "Xu Shoufu, please sit down!"

Xu Chongguang was not polite, his knees softened, and he sat down.At this time, two young eunuchs carried a coffee table, and another young eunuch came in with a pot of tea and a teacup. "Xu Qing, this is the newest tea I discovered, Dongting Biluochun, try it!"

The little emperor invited him warmly, but Xu Chongguang was disrespectful and took a sip from his teacup.It's just that he is full of thoughts, and the tea doesn't taste much.

"Why, this tea is not good?" Lu Chengqi understood in his heart, but he wanted to tease the little old man verbally, who told him that he had so many things to do and wanted to take care of everything?

Xu Chongguang said solemnly: "The way of tea, the old minister is not good at it. The old minister's meeting today is not for a cup of tribute tea, but for Jiangnan."

as expected!Lu Chengqi had been prepared for a long time, but he still pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "It's so extreme, I almost forgot. These days, the tax coupons alone have made the household department busy for a while, I thought Let’s let the Jiangnan matter go for now, how could I know that Xu Qing is so dedicated, I am ashamed! Xu Qing is so determined, but has a secret case?”

Xu Chongguang didn't speak, but silently took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it over.Lu Chengqi took it over and looked at it carefully.Xu Chongguang, a little old man, has abilities.He was so concerned about the Jiangnan matter that he worked on it for nearly a month before condensing it into a memorial.Although it is only a memorial, the number of deletions and revisions in the middle is no less than ten times.Every time he thinks about a loophole, Xu Chongguang has to correct it.He didn't dare to show it to Lu Chengqi until he thought it was perfect.Lest this little emperor underestimate himself.

After Lu Chengqi finished reading it, he didn't speak for a long time.He didn't expect that Xu Chongguang really worked hard.And at first glance, he wrote it himself, and no one else did it for him.After all, there is a gap between those who have been a household secretary and those who have not, and you can tell it at a glance.Lu Chengqi also had to admit that what he thought earlier was simple.Take the policy of reclaiming wasteland owned by individuals as an example, the loophole is too big.If someone deliberately buys land at a high price and connects it together, will the court prohibit it, or not?Fortunately, Xu Chongguang thought deeply and made amendments. The unowned wasteland in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be sold for 60 years.This alone restricts many people to death.It is still very difficult to make money from the fields in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Xu Qing's thoughts are much better than mine..."

Lu Chengqi slowly put down the memorial, and admired it sincerely.It was rare for Xu Chongguang to blush. He knew that he had just accepted the little emperor's love and sang a good show on the stage set up by the little emperor.To say credit, it is still the little emperor's big.

"Your Majesty's absurd praise..."

Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "Is what I said wrong? Xu Qing should also know that if these loopholes are not plugged, it will lead to a catastrophe in the future. The Taizu of this dynasty spent his whole life to eliminate the big families, the big family, and the big family. It has already been accomplished, if it is in my hands to let these big aristocratic families revive, how can I face the Taizu after a hundred years?"

Xu Chongguang was awe-inspiring, he had known for a long time how powerful the family of the previous dynasty was.A family can actually control the lifeline of a dynasty, controlling all kinds of military power and political power.As for who will be the emperor, it is the result of the struggle between the big families and the great families, and then a balance is reached.With such a dark politics, the lives of the people can be imagined.

No way, the former dynasty was a country established by the Hu people. No matter how high the degree of Sinicization is, the aristocratic system is still deeply rooted.Lu Chengqi was not alarmist either. Previously, the royal family in Taiyuan, a family that was about to decline, was about to rebel. Think about it, if there are a bunch of such powerful families, which emperor can sleep well?
Xu Chongguang said respectfully: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, but the Jiangnan matter is after all His Majesty's idea."

"Whose idea is important? As long as the people of Dashun live and work in peace and contentment, and the national power is thriving, what does it matter?"

Xu Chongguang seemed to be seeing such Lu Chengqi for the first time, his eyes flashed a different light: "Your Majesty's words have won the benevolence of a saint, and I respect you!"
