Chapter 509: Compromise
Give these terms to Your Majesty? The ministers who participated in the auction and had provisions in Chen Fei's place all jumped suddenly.
If these terms really fall into the hands of His Majesty, will they be repaid? The minimum amount on the terms is not less than a hundred taels of silver, and the more than a thousand taels of silver are several.
If Li Shimin saw these terms, wouldn't he just blow up the pot? You ministers, how do you cry poor on weekdays, and what is the result? In fact, they are all rich and oily! You can spend a lot of money for a favorite item, and your life is more chic than that of the emperor!
It is conceivable that these powerful ministers will definitely not have a good life, at least they will be called over by Li Shimin to drink tea and talk about their hearts, or they will be demoted and dismissed, and they may even be imprisoned!
The officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was not as harsh as in the early Ming Dynasty, and ministers were not allowed to have private industries. In fact, the mind of this era is still open-minded, and the operation of some industries in the minister's family is also a matter that the court and the court know well.
In this regard, Li Shimin also turned a blind eye and did not interfere. Because the food and salary issued by the imperial court alone cannot support so many ministers, it is also a lot of burden for the imperial court to let them develop their own industries and earn some extra money.
But! It is forbidden to squander as blatantly as the ministers. First, it is not good to spread the statement to yourself, and second, it is easy to cause resentment.
What's more, in recent years, the treasury has been tight, and it is the time when the imperial court has shrunk into the money bag and lived tightly, but these ministers are good, one by one, they have become local tyrants, and they don't spend money as money, don't you stimulate Li Shimin?
So anyone who has a little brain doesn't want this matter to be known by Li Shimin, and when Chen Fei opened his mouth, almost all the ministers stood up and objected.
"Hahaha! Virtuous nephew! Don't trouble Your Majesty with this kind of thing, the old man believes you! It's up to you! A minister who was not very close to Chen Fei stood up and walked to Chen Fei's side with a smile.
In addition, there are also some ministers who are happy to get up, walk into Chen Fei with a hypocritical smile and get close to him, looking at the note in his hand with flattering eyes, and his tone is very enthusiastic, as if he has known him for many years, and the relationship is so good that it can't be better, for fear that he will really put this matter to His Majesty if he is unhappy.
Chen Fei looked at the reactions of these ministers and was secretly amused, a group of hypocritical guys, when it came to the critical time, they were all empty, they were cold to death just now, and now they have changed their style one by one.
Sure enough, people are all virtuous!
After Chen Fei and several ministers who were close to each other, he turned his attention back to Gao Shilian. At this moment, he also lost his previous hardness, his face became blue and white, and he seemed a little weak in his heart.
"How? Lord Gao, do you think it is better to leave it to Your Majesty to operate? Or is it more convenient for me to do it? ”
Before Gao Shilian could speak, someone on the side answered for him. "Of course, it's better to leave it to you. Your Majesty takes care of all the opportunities every day, how can you have the leisure to do these little things? And Zicheng's ability is not bad, it's best to leave it to you! ”
"Good! The old man thinks so too! ”
"Yes, yes! In my opinion, this matter will be handled by Zicheng! The other ministers echoed and spoke, and before Gao Shilian could speak, he was already drowned out by the saliva of other adults.
He looked around and sighed helplessly after finding that the ministers around him had all fallen to Chen Fei, knowing that he could no longer provoke these ministers again, so he could only accept his fate in despair.
This account, he can't rely on it, once he pays the account, Chen Fei is very likely to stab His Majesty, and then it will not be a matter of thousands of taels of silver, and His Majesty will punish him if he doesn't make a good fuss.
So Gao Shilian pinched his nose and admitted this account, if Chen Fei really used it for good deeds, he could still be regarded as accumulating yin virtue for himself, thinking about it like this, it seems that it is not a loss.
So Gao Shilian no longer held on to Chen Fei, and the banquet returned to a harmonious atmosphere.
The eldest grandson Wuji sat in his seat, took a small sip of the wine glass, and the appreciation of Chen Fei in his eyes became more and more intense.
This young... It's not easier than he imagined!
The two troublesome things were actually resolved by him in such a clever way that the law could not be refused. The most important thing is that he has always been very calm and calm, and it is natural for him to react like this, not at all like a young rookie.
Such skills made the eldest grandson Wuji secretly admire in his heart. If he encounters such a situation himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it as perfectly as Chen Fei.
"This young man, you must win over!" The eldest grandson Wuji secretly made up his mind in his heart.
Chen Fei naturally didn't know what Eldest Sun Wuji was thinking, but when he toasted him, he suddenly found that Eldest Sun Wuji had a very good attitude towards him, not only chatted a few more words, drank a few more glasses, and even planned to invite himself to his mansion as a guest.
The eldest grandson Wuji was so gracious, Chen Fei naturally couldn't refuse, and after a few glasses of wine, he readily agreed.
Anyway, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't say a specific date, and said yes, why don't you go if you eat and drink for nothing?
After toasting here, Chen Fei walked to the next minister..........
The son's crown was a happy event for Chen Daomai, and the family banquet was held until late at night, although the ministers dispersed early, but they were also full of fun with the villagers until midnight.
Originally, Chen Daomai was an ordinary farmer with a low status in the village, but now he is the one with the highest status in the village, except for the village chief and Chen Fei.
Father is expensive by son, Chen Daomai finally experienced what it was like to have a "status" in his prime.
Although he did not earn this position by himself, he was far happier than he had obtained it himself. Even when he was drinking and chatting, when he mentioned his son Chen Fei, his voice was much louder.
After his voice became louder, he also gained a lot of envious eyes, and many people asked Chen Daomai how to educate the baby, and to be able to teach such a capable child, everyone was waiting for Chen Daomai to share his experience.
Chen Daomai smiled, waved his hand drunkenly, and stretched out two fingers. "I don't know!"
Hey! The sale at this level forced the big guys to be anxious, so one person stepped forward with a glass of wine and took turns to pour the old rice and wheat.
After a few glasses of soju, Chen Daomai's mind became more and more unclear, groggy and fluttering, and he told the villagers all the troubles that Chen Fei had done since he was a child.
For example, at what age he was still wetting the bed, and when he was a child, he also ate stones stained with chicken feces, etc.
Chen Daomai talked about Chen Fei's troubles when he was a child, and the villagers remembered it very seriously on the side, and made records, even accurate to what kind of chicken Chen Fei ate at that time, what color of he pulled, and planned to let his children try it after he went back, to see if he would be as lucky as Chen Fei in the future, which is unspeakable...........
Go out for a meal and change it later
