Chapter 134
Looking at the bright kerosene lamps on the table, Master Liu's face turned gloomy and said coldly: "This kerosene lamp from Yongzhou is a good thing. It is bright and has no oil smoke. I heard that the newly opened business in the north of the city also needs to make such lamps and sell them in the capital. The capital is not the deserted border of Yongzhou. I don't know how many rich families have to make how much money this lamp has to make."
A middle-aged man behind him said, "More than that, there are so many things to be made in the new farm. The kerosene lamp is inconspicuous at all. Ten new farms and seven shops, and three departments have not made such a big deal in many years!"
Master Liu leaned on the chair and looked at the roof, and said leisurely: "Where is so much money?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and slapped heavily on the table: "So much money, we don't have the share of it! Just watching it flow away in front of him, are you willing to give up!"
"Who is willing? The Sansi has done countless things over the years, but we are relying on the help of our public officials to work hard! They even think that we have too many redundant staff, and the assessment is eliminated. Are those officials crazy about gaining and losing their gains and losses?"
Speaking of this, the white-faced man who spoke had already shown a ruthless look on his face.
The middle-aged man next to him said, "Yubi, we were not careful! The incident happened in the goods business. It was not that we were too careless and we couldn't even do our hands and feet on the surface, so we found it out as soon as someone checked it."
"So what? What's wrong with us suffering and making some money? It's not wrong to attract old tea to replace tea. What's the matter with those officials turning a blind eye and just changing it out before? Is it because their meat is missing?"
Yubi's eyes were slightly bloodshot and his face was a bit ferocious.
"If we do things, we will not benefit us. How can we do this in the world? Not only do we give us less money, we will also be inferior to others in normal times, but we will not treat us as human beings, but we will be a cow and a horse!"
Seeing Yubi so excited, the middle-aged man next to him pulled him: "Since ancient times, we public officials are doing things. Those officials move their lips to control people. How can there be any reason in this world? Just say that not only are they going to eliminate redundant officials recently, but officials also suggested that we can actually borrow horses from the official family and lead their nephews to take over themselves. What officials are not feudal but feudal. What are these? I feel that it is not good, and I have never seen any official willing to be a public official."
Several people around looked at Master Liu together: "Master, you have to think of a solution! If this continues, those officials will do whatever they think of, but we can't survive!"
Master Liu nodded: "I came to you tonight, just because I have something to give you. Humph, eliminate the redundant officials? No need for those officials to bother. We will deliver it to him and let them drive people away. Isn't that good!"
"The Taishi means"
"Come here with your ears."
"Remember, you must not let go of the news of this matter. I will finish the day after tomorrow. Seize the opportunity and give those noble ministers a look! There are people who are going to be eliminated, so there is no need for officials to worry about. Let's choose them. You can find trustworthy people to do this, remember to grasp the right position and not spend your money and life."
"Don't worry, Master! You will always wait for good news tomorrow!"
The people around him agreed and their morale suddenly became high.
The thirty year of the first lunar month is the last day of this month, and it will be closed for ten days.
Because of the recent busy official business, Xu Ping did not go home to rest. He brought a few officials who were not in the capital and were still busy in the editing office, sorting out the regulations of the three dynasties sent by Gao Chengduan.
The sun rose to mid-air, and Xu Ping asked everyone to rest, have some tea and continue working.
Spring comes unknowingly, and the warm sunshine makes the whole world feel aroused. The thick clothes on your body have not been taken off, and they are hot in the sun, giving people a strange feeling.
Wang Gongchen and Wang Bin were joking, but they didn't know what to say, but they were afraid that others would hear it and squeeze into the corner.
At this moment, a small officer under the Third Division ran in panic. When he saw Xu Ping, he crossed his hands and saluted: "Deputy Deputy Envoy, something big happened outside!"
Xu Ping put down the teacup in his hand and waved his hand to the little officer: "What's the panic? Tell me, what's wrong?"
The little officer swallowed hard and said, "Outside, hundreds of public officials from our three departments gathered together, saying that the court wanted to cut posts and they could not support their families."
"What?" Xu Ping didn't understand, "How did hundreds of public officials gather together? What did they do together? Why did they not say anything if there is anything else?"
The little officer hesitated and kept saying, "How dare they come to the yamen? The gate of the imperial city cannot enter, and there are people from the Imperial City Division and the Palace Front Division guarding there! Besides, there are also many soldiers in our yamen."
"What does it mean? Are they going to rebel?!"
Xu Ping then understood a little and stood up all of a sudden. These public officials were so brave that they were so brave. At the foot of the emperor of the capital, hundreds of thousands of imperial guards and hundreds of public officials wanted to make a comeback!
"The deputy envoy misunderstood. They were not trying to rebel, but to ask for an explanation."
Xu Ping was stunned and looked at the small officer who reported the news and said, "What are they asking for? Shouldn't they come to me and Lord Kou to ask for an explanation? Why do you do when you run to the Bian River?"
The little officer smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Although those are all public officials of our three departments, the matter has nothing to do with our three departments."
"You drink a sip of tea and say it slowly, why do you become more confused when you say it?"
Xu Ping ordered the miscellaneous officials next to him to bring a cup of tea to the little officer.
The little officer took a sip of tea, calmed down, and said, "Deputy envoy, this is the case. A few days ago, Censor Han proposed to eliminate the redundant officials of the three departments. Didn't he report to the Secretariat to agree? This matter was spread somehow, and he didn't know who organized it. Today, hundreds of people gathered together and said that he wanted to find the two prime ministers and Censor Han to ask for an explanation."
When Xu Ping heard this, he was stunned.
These three officials are going to march and demonstrate? Where is this? No, it should be called gathering people to cause trouble in this era, although this is no different from the march and demonstration in later generations.
Going to the Prime Minister and the Censor General to ask for an explanation, these public officials are too brave. Xu Ping was really scared. He really didn't expect that the public officials of this era would have such organizational skills.
At this time, there were already three or five hundred officials from the Three Corps gathered near Zhouqiao, all wearing public uniforms, and the crowd was indignant. There were several young and strong men standing on the Zhouqiao, who were shouting loudly. The chaos caused by the Censorate's proposal to eliminate the Three Corps officials was inevitable. What is interesting is that there were no officials from Kaifeng Prefecture around.
Note: Later in history, the Censor General of the Censor who was hit was Du Yan, and the book has slightly changed. To be continued.
