Chapter 2027 Reform
"I don't dare to be good at it." Chu Heng knew that Emperor Xuanming was testing himself.
His attitude also straightforwardly told Emperor Xuanming what he meant.
Emperor Xuanming looked at him with a half-smile: "Oh? Then I must ask you to give an answer?"
Chu Heng said without much hesitation: "Master Huang...Master Jiang...Master Li..."
The few he mentioned were well-known in the imperial court, had no background, were too old, and were still members of Emperor Xuanming. Even if these people became the chief examiners, they would not be able to form a party for personal gain like Qi Shangshu and Deng Taifu.
Emperor Xuanming sneered, "You are so courageous."
Chu Heng shut up.
However, Emperor Xuanming seemed to be angry, but in fact he was not very angry.
"I heard that Li went to Zhuangzi outside the capital to escape the summer heat?" Emperor Xuanming changed the subject abruptly.
Chu Heng nodded: "Yes."
"So, did you start a fight with Mrs. Deng?"
"Teacher Deng made the move first." Chu Heng complained directly, and he had collected relevant evidence long ago.
But he also knew that the current Taifu Deng was favored by Emperor Xuanming, even if he put the evidence on the emperor's case, it would not have any results, but would anger Emperor Xuanming and lose his sacred heart. It is not so easy.
The ups and downs in the officialdom are as simple as that.
However, now Emperor Xuanming proposed it on his own initiative.
is an excellent opportunity.
Emperor Xuanming laughed angrily at his righteous attitude: "It seems that Aiqing has complaints about Taifu Deng."
"Your Majesty, I will not hide it from you. The examiner only wants to provide a good life for his family. I am very satisfied with my current life. It is impossible for Taifu Deng to take action against the female family members of my family without resentment. Therefore, I have collected a lot of evidence against Taifu Deng. I hope the emperor will uphold justice."
"Oh?" Emperor Xuanming raised his eyebrows, his emotions unclear: "Then what if I don't uphold justice for you?"
"I can only use rogue methods to find trouble with Mrs. Deng." Chu Heng didn't think much about it, as if he had already thought about it.
Emperor Xuanming squinted his eyes in an unclear manner: "You are all my servants, it is not a good thing to make trouble."
"Don't worry, your Majesty, I just want to warn Taifu Deng so that he will not come to trouble me again. I am not a man who likes to be rough."
Emperor Xuanming looked at Chu Heng and remained silent for a while.
Chu Heng let him look at him.
Finally, Emperor Xuanming took all kinds of criminal evidence, which can be regarded as an attitude towards Chu Heng.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Heng handed over the proposals on the reform of soldiers' salaries that he had written a long time ago.
Emperor Xuanming looked at it for a long time, and after reading it, he said: "Soldiers' salaries have increased, but the country's finances will spend more on military supplies."
"Your Majesty, I have done an analysis, and spending money is part of it, but we can take this opportunity to earn money back." Chu Heng has long looked at some overseas businesses.
"Doing business with the Beirong people can earn a lot of money. There are many soldiers and barracks in the Beidi, so there will be no businessmen and bandits to rob. At that time, the income from the broken silver at the border of the Beidi will be able to make up for a large part of it." military supplies."
"Without the annual harassment of the Beirong people, the economy of the Northland can also develop. At that time, there will only be more money. There will not be enough troops, and there will be more defects in local supervision."
How to manage the soldiers is the business of Emperor Xuanming. Chu Heng just made it clear at the moment to earn back the money. After all, without money, even if Emperor Xuanming agreed, there was nothing he could do.
