Chapter 7262 Mattress Wool
Luo Xingchen’s head felt numb.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the descendants of honorable nobles have begun to develop in a degenerate direction within a few years.
It is completely normal for fathers to be heroes and sons to be bastards.
The scary thing is that the national policy of Qi Taizu was to reward those nobles, and their descendants could inherit a military position as long as they reached a certain age.
Then, stuff them all into the Praetorian Guards.
After these bastards joined the Guards, they made the Guards a mess.
Emperor Taizong made these noble sons and daughters to be listed separately. In fact, he spent money to support them.
As this happens from generation to generation, in this generation, the noble disciples are even more miserable.
"Your Majesty, are the soldiers trained by the princes also the sons of nobles?"
Luo Xingchen thought, if the princes are the same, then everyone is the same, so it doesn't matter.
“No, the soldiers they trained were from good families recruited from other counties.” The corners of Qi Xingyun’s lips rose.
"This..."
Luo Xingchen seemed to see himself being pushed into a big pit by Qi Xingyun, and the pit was filled with fire, making it look like a pit of fire.
“Okay, this matter is settled.”
"Now, I want to tell you the second thing."
"The shipping matter!"
Qi Xingyun said.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Luo Xingchen's mouth calmed down, but his heart was bleeding.
He is still a child. The emperor is simply bullying the weak. How can he treat him like this?
He has understood.
The emperor wants to use him as a whetstone.
Those county princes are just dull knives, and they have to use his whetstone to polish them.
Okay, my arms can’t twist my thighs.
He had no choice but to accept his fate.
Let’s take a step at a time.
“The shipping matter is of great importance.”
Qi Xingyun looked very solemn.
The imperial court has been involved in shipping for half a year. In the past six months, shipping has provided the imperial court with millions of taels of money!
This is a staggering number.
You know, Daqi’s current annual tax revenue is only tens of millions of taels, and a mere sea shipment can reach this level.
This is still the result of not expanding the scale...
From this, it can be predicted that if efforts are increased, this shipping matter will have great potential.
“It is the intention of several ministers in the cabinet that the imperial court should establish a special shipping department, build more docks in the south, and set up new customs.” Qi Xingyun said.
"Your Majesty, this is a major court matter and has nothing to do with me." Luo Xingchen felt strange. He currently only has the official position of naval admiral. This position is not big or small. At most, he is in charge of a court navy. The rest of the court There is no place for him to talk about big things.
"The largest water transportation company is owned by your family. How come it has nothing to do with you? The elders need your cooperation." Qi Xingyun smiled.
"This, the water transportation company, is not private. The Emperor knows that this is not my decision alone. Although my mother delegated power to me, I cannot represent everyone."
< br>Luo Xingchen said sincerely.
There are a lot of shareholders involved in the water transportation company. Not to mention all of them in the capital, at least one-third of the royal family and nobles have shares in it. "It's yours, no less. You help the court stabilize the situation and open up new customs. The court will not treat you badly, and I will not treat you badly." Qi Xingyun raised the corners of his lips.
"My name is not justified, I am just a small admiral of the navy, and I have to prepare for the imperial examination recently, and it is difficult to find a way..." Luo Xingchen had a troubled expression on his face.
"There is an imperial edict here, take it and see for yourself."
Qi Xingyun took out an imperial edict made of yellow silk from the table.
Luo Xingchen left the table, took it with respectful hands, and then unfolded it for a look.
"Governor of Customs!"
Luo Xingchen was a little stunned.
This official position is too big. How can he bear it?
"Your Majesty, does the cabinet approve this appointment?" Luo Xingchen asked doubtfully.
It is impossible for the emperor to make such a big decision and such a big official with just one word. Otherwise, why would we still need the court system?
The most important thing is whether the imperial cabinet can be appointed. This is the most critical.
The cabinet has a meeting hall. Important state affairs need to be voted through by the meeting hall. There are 21 people in this meeting hall, which guarantees that there will be no 50-50 split.
This position of Customs Governor is a high-power position. To pass it, it does not depend on a word from the emperor or a minister. It must be voted on in the council hall.
"The vote has not been taken yet, but the cabinet ministers have already agreed, so there will be no problem with the vote." Qi Xingyun said calmly.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the cabinet elders are consistent, voting is basically just a formality.
"Your Majesty, can I not do this? I am still young. I have to go to school, train soldiers, and have the navy. I am too busy." Luo Xingchen felt aggrieved. This was really not easy. He With only one person, how can he be so busy?
"It's hard work for those who are able. You can't do it by yourself. You have to learn how to recruit staff and do it yourself. How can you do that? Think about me, I am in charge of such a big country. Can I do everything by myself?" "
"Learning to employ people is the key to success. Look at your mother, she is very good at employing people. Now she only needs to see Jane on time. It would be great to report and write letters and live comfortably in your hometown.”
“And your father, my general, is also lazy in his hometown. I will write a few letters. I didn’t persuade him to come back.”
“If your parents don’t obey, who will I go to if you don’t want to?” A smile appeared on Qi Xingyun’s lips.
Luo Xingchen was speechless.
Just as Qi Xingyun said, his parents are lazy and if he doesn’t pick up the stalls left behind, who will pick up the stalls?
Qi Xingyun saw that he couldn't run away, so he grabbed the sheep and pulled out the wool hard. If he continued like this, he was really going to be bald.
"It's not like I want you to take office immediately. It will take at least the second half of the year to complete the procedures. It's still early. If you have this position, you can go to Jiangnan and build a customs at the seaside." Qi Xingyun said again. .
"Okay, Your Majesty, I obey your order!" Luo Xingchen said through gritted teeth.
Now that it's all said and done, it doesn't matter if he doesn't agree.
“Let’s talk about the third thing.”
Qi Xingyun changed the topic and led to the third thing.
"The matter about Beili's family."
"I have read the letter you submitted, and I have found someone to check it. There is also corresponding information here."
"This Beili family is indeed a trouble. I think some people are self-righteous and don't know the heights of the world. They are looking for opportunities to teach them a lesson." Qi Xingyun said lightly.
"What does the emperor mean?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"Don't Beiliyuan want an army? I'll give it to him, and you can dispatch a Golden Snake Guard in your own name to give it to him."
"Here."
"When selecting people, you must choose people who are good at fighting and reliable." Qi Xingyun said.
"Your Majesty, is this all right?"
"I have my own arrangements." A cold light flashed in Qi Xingyun's eyes.
For so many years, no one who wanted to betray him had a good ending!
