Abilities Farming and Benefiting from a Well-off

Chapter 550 Becoming Private

If it is a real businessman, such conditions are naturally very tempting, but it is different when it comes to the emperor. In his mind, everything here is his, why should he give it to others?

"Your idea is very good, but the problem is how to convince the emperor, which is a very difficult thing, but since you mentioned this idea, we have to try it, and you can take it slow when it comes to rice. .”

Dongfang Qi suddenly had a plan in his mind. This plan was foolproof. It would not affect them, but it would only make the emperor compromise.

Mu Lian looked at him with a sinister smile on his face, and knew that this man must be thinking about something bad again, but she liked it.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Mulian put her arms around his shoulders in confidence, her little feet dangling there.

Dongfang Qi suddenly asked curiously: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Mu Lian thought for a while before replying with some embarrassment: "If you take over the Dongfang family, then you must be a wise and capable head of the family. If we hold the grain bank in our hands at that time, you will also You don't have to work so hard."

At that time, you can be a very successful patriarch, and you will not be threatened by the imperial power in the future. People who live under the imperial power are always very sad when they think about it carefully, because they need to prove that they are loyal to the emperor.

"Okay, I'll figure it out, you just need to concentrate on the field." Dongfang Qi said.

So the next day, he wrote a memorial and hurriedly sent it to the emperor. He said the situation in the grain depot was very serious. Of course, Dongfang Qi was sure. To put it worse.

Sure enough, not long after the memorial had passed, the imperial court sent a civil servant over. The civil servant who came was also an old acquaintance of Dongfang Qi, so the two sides were not too polite, and Dongfang Qi directly assisted him in the investigation.

The result of the investigation naturally frightened the civil servants enough, and after the investigation was over, they immediately rode back to Beijing to report.

In the imperial study room of the capital, the emperor was furious at the civil servants. He was so depressed because he became a fan. Before and after he ascended the throne, the drought did not end. Now there is a problem with the grain depot. What should he do?
"These problems did arise during your investigation. It wouldn't be that fox Dongfang Qi who fooled you again."

The civil servant is also a staunch character. When he heard the emperor say this, he immediately put on a face and said: "Whatever you say, the emperor, the minister is definitely not that kind of person, and neither is Master Dongfang. Besides, when I went to see it, The situation over there is even worse than what he said in the memorial. The rice in the grain depot has been replaced with low-quality rice. If the rice is sent to the border towns to be eaten by the soldiers who threw their heads and blood, then I will face it. Where is your face, where is your majesty, Your Majesty?"

The civil servant was heartbroken, as if he was dying of heartache.

The emperor was speechless. He knew the personality of this civil servant. He was usually as stubborn as a donkey, but he couldn't play tricks or deceive people. That's why he sent this man to check the grain depot.

"Then according to what Aiqing said, what should I do? The situation in the grain depot is already so bad. If we don't save it, my grain will be cut off by then."

Of course, there is another way, that is to take action against those wealthy businessmen, but this is not something that can be done just by talking.

"What to do, Your Majesty, the top priority now is to arrest all those former officials. Didn't you say that those people are your own soldiers? Why are you all acting cowardly? This is really embarrassing to your Majesty. "When the civil servant said such words, he directly stepped on the emperor's face on the ground like cow dung.

The emperor clenched his fists behind his back, he really wanted to slap him, dear, can't you keep your word?
"Then why are you still kneeling here? Why don't you hurry up and do this matter."

As soon as the civil servant heard this, he immediately resigned.

In the early court, after the emperor brought up this matter, all the civil and military officials in the court immediately became speechless as if they had taken dumb medicine.

But although people do not utter words in their mouths, the activities in their hearts are rich.

Whoever takes over this stall now is tantamount to courting death, this is the words of the prime minister.

It's not like I haven't done such a thing before. This is the military officer's idea.

"Why don't you make a sound, are you dumb?" The emperor shouted loudly.

Later, under the orders of all eyes, the prime minister walked out tremblingly, stroking his beard and replied: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be rushed. However, Dongfang Qi has accepted this matter, he will always do it well. "

The prime minister's words are specious, and basically miss the point. In other words, if someone is scapegoating, you let others blame you.

"Your Majesty, there is an old saying in my hometown, if you want the horse to run, you must let the horse eat grass. Now that the grain depot is in such a state, you might as well give it to Dongfang Qi. If the grain depot is his, He will definitely try his best when the time comes." The military officer spoke his hometown dialect, and expressed his thoughts carelessly.

When the prime minister heard this, he had the urge to take off his shoes and gag him. The grain depot belongs to the public, so can it be given to a private person? "What do you mean, the grain depot is the state's treasury, how can you give it to that kid?"

The prime minister was very dissatisfied, so there were a few more wrinkles on the old face.

When the military officer heard the prime minister's words, he looked sideways at him. Since ancient times, civil and military are incompatible, not to mention that civil servants always want to stun people, while military officials are more suitable for fighting directly, so civil officials hate military officials. It's just too rude and degrading.But the military officer thinks that the civil servants are too gentle, and they don't have the style of generals at all.

"What kind of boy is he? He is also a general. Why didn't you say such a thing when you resisted those enemy soldiers? In the end, you were afraid that people would take away the grain depot, so you just knew how to play tricks, not at all. I know how to share my worries for the emperor. I’m telling the truth, if the emperor gives me the grain depot, I will definitely put my heart into it.”
