today for you

The budding of the bourgeoisie is not something that can be done just by talking about it. The focus is still on developing the economy and increasing the level of productivity.But these things cannot be accomplished overnight.It is more important to leave complex issues behind and focus on the present.

Yue Lu has been kneeling in front of me with a stinky face for a long time, full of grievances.Standing beside him is Luo Chun, with a rare expressionless face, even exuding the coldness similar to Shi Qiang.The reason for such a scene is nothing more than the outbreak of old grudges.

Yue Lu was already dissatisfied with Luo's family, but from Luo Chun's standpoint, Yue Lu was making trouble out of nothing and insulting her natal family.Therefore, I also have my own considerations in agreeing to let Luo Chun take care of Yue Lu.

I can trust Luo Chun. She is a very measured girl. Even if Yue Lu offends him, since he is young, I will bring him back to the palace. The palace enjoys blessings.All these Luo Chun got through with me, so I felt relieved to let her set up difficulties for Yue Lu and sharpen her temperament.

It's just that I thought it was too simple, and underestimated the peculiar self-esteem triggered by the second-year boy.Luo Chun asked Yue Lu to take care of his own daily life by taking advantage of the ready-made reason of insufficient manpower in the palace. It was only a few days before Yue Lu came to me with a face of humiliation and clamored to go home.

"Okay, you have to give me a reason when you want to go home, right? Is the food in the palace not delicious or the bed is too hard?" I said helplessly.

Yue Lu pursed his lips and didn't answer for a long time. At this time, Luo Chun snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, this child is used to enjoying himself at home. He can't bear the hardships in the palace. Just let him go."

Is the palace still suffering?This is the funniest joke I've ever heard.Isn't the imperial palace full of riches and honor?I said: "Ah Chun was just joking, if my palace is considered poor, then I really don't know where is wealth."

"You don't know, your eldest nephew knows. He doesn't have guards when he goes in and out, a maid for washing, and someone to help someone feed him when he dresses and eats. It's not like being in a palace. No one persuades him to wake up in the morning, and no one turns off the lights when he sleeps at night. You have to use your own chopsticks to eat, but it’s tiring but hard, isn’t it?”

The irony of what he said was very ironic, and Yue Lu, who was very angry, immediately said back: "Pure concubine, what do you mean? Are you saying that my nephew is useless?" Probably because the experience of the carriage that day was too profound, even if angry, Yue Lu I dare not use honorific titles.

"You come to stretch out your hands and open your mouth to eat. You don't work hard and you don't know the grain. Can a dude like you be called a useful person?" However, Luo Chun's words were not euphemistic at all, and every sentence pierced his heart.

"You!" Yue Lu became so angry that he was at a loss for words for a while. He turned his head and faced me, "Uncle, although my nephew is not as noble as the pure concubine and empress, Hao Lai is also the son of the royal family. The pure concubine and empress can rely on their status and The old grievances have humiliated me so much, can I still run away? Please let my uncle let me go back to the palace!"

I understood it, Luo Chun felt that Yue Lu was useless and hypocritical, and Yue Lu felt that Luo Chungong was avenging his personal revenge, and the conflict was aroused at once.Seeing the angry faces of the two, I couldn't help sighing, and I asked Yue Lu: "Do you think Ah Chun is humiliating you?"

"Why not! Our court stipulates that the county king and the prince can send 20 servants, and the maids and handymen can support them according to their ability. In the harem, like the pure concubine, there are six maids who serve her personally. The pure concubine's malicious deduction should be How come the palace servants who serve me are not humiliating me?"

I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard it, and when I looked up, Luo Chun was also rolling his eyes, and I asked Yue Lu again: "Then how do you live at home?"

Yue Lu's anger dissipated a bit, but his complexion was not very good. He muttered: "I am very good at home. Daddy allocated ten servants for me, and there are three maidservants in my yard to serve me personally. There are female officials in charge of accounts, servants of chariots and horses, servants who clean the house, and masters of meals..." Yue Lu squeezed his fingers and calculated, "There are probably more than 100 people, and I still have a lot of followers. .”

"I've simplified this. The young masters I know are surrounded by beautiful maidservants. They go in and out of chariots and horses, and the guards who follow are equipped with knives. I wanted my father to also equip the guards in my courtyard with knives." , but he refuses, and I can't do anything about it."

What Yue Lu was talking about was ignorance and insensibility, and I was in a complicated mood listening to it.After Yue Lu's complaints came to an end, I said slowly: "Lu'er, you have talked about your servants, but you want to listen to uncle talk about the situation of the servants in the palace?"

Yue Lu looked at me suspiciously and nodded.As soon as I slapped the table and stood up, there was a loud bang, which scared Yue Lu to his spirits: "Lu'er, you know, there is only one maid accompanying you, the pure concubine, and even your queen aunt only has two maids. Even I, there are only three personal servants. Do you think you enjoy it more than your uncle?"

Yue Lu's face was full of disbelief, and I said again: "It is said that I am rich all over the world, and the world belongs to me, but there are less than three thousand servants in my palace, scattered all over the palace, and there are even more people on weekdays. I can't find any shadows. I didn't expect that you, the son of the county prince, have more than a hundred attendants, and you can even keep your followers."

"Lu'er, do you know what this is called?" I looked down at him, and Yue Lu shook his head tremblingly.

"You are called treason." I said calmly.

Yue Lu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, opened and closed his lips several times, but couldn't say a word for a while.I went to his side and pulled him up, and patted the ashes on his ass caringly: "Lu'er, do you still think that the pure concubine should give you a few more palace servants for your comfort?"

"..." Yue Lu shook his head silently, like a spinning rattle.

"Then do you still think that you are so arrogant and extravagant, and the concubine Chun wants to spoil you like your father?"

Yue Lu was about to burst into tears, and was still shaking his head desperately.I smiled gently, and patted Yue Lu on the head: "Lu'er, you are a smart kid who can naturally tell right from wrong. Do you think your dude friends are doing the right thing? Is it worth learning from you?"

"No, I won't learn anymore..." Yue Lu said tremblingly.

"Okay, I was busy with government affairs and neglected you before, and you have become familiar with the environment in the palace these few days. From tomorrow onwards, you will go to the Chongwen Hall to study hard. No matter where you are taught, sir, you must catch up before the next month's assessment. , In addition, Lu Xiaoming, the commander of the imperial army, has an important job to do, and his younger brother will enter the palace to teach you martial arts in a few days. What you can learn during the year you live in the palace depends on your ability."

Under Yue Lu's dizzy eyes, I paused for a moment, then raised my head and asked Luo Chun beside me: "Is there anything I want to add, Concubine Ai?"

"The concubine has nothing important to say, but just wants to remind the son that in the future, the Qide Palace where you live will not increase the manpower, except for three meals a day, changing clothes, everything depends on you. Your Majesty wants you to enter the palace not to enjoy the blessings Yes, on weekdays, think more about your original intention of entering the palace. Don't bring your bad habits at home to the palace." Luo Chun had a straight face, as serious as a dean.

Yue Luxue's white face turned blue, it looked pitiful.Luo Chun also couldn't bear it, sighed and changed his tone: "You are young, and you are still a junior in this palace. I will not deliberately make things difficult for you, and your majesty did not directly discuss with you the actions you did among the people. To distinguish between right and wrong, I want you to find out for yourself.”

"It's good to have a chivalrous heart, but you also need to have a pair of eyes to distinguish right from wrong. You may not understand some truths when I tell you directly, but when you accumulate knowledge and experience, everything will be easily solved. I tell you this The words are not for you to be grateful or to admit your mistakes, when you figure it out, it will be better than anything else."

Luo Chun is not as silly and sweet as she looks on the outside. She doesn't like to think about things, but it doesn't mean she has no brains.With neither she nor Shi Qiang likely to have any more children, she knew the significance of a boy of royal blood appearing in the palace, even though I didn't explain it.This kind of appropriate intelligence is what I want Yue Lu to learn.

At present, no matter what Yue Lu's character is, he is the best choice for me and the whole Great Yin.What's more, Yue Lu's nature is not bad, and he even has a rare heart.

Giving a sweet date with a stick is the best rule of tameness. Yue Lu, who has calmed down, followed Luo Chun obediently, leaving me alone in the room to think about political issues.

To put it bluntly, the phenomenon of extravagance and corruption in the officialdom of the Great Yin is now a common practice.The problem of officials raising a large number of servants exposed in Yue Lu's words is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are many deep-seated problems waiting for me to discover.

Remember the flood disasters in Jingyun and Jingzhou in the southern region last summer?This matter came to an end last fall.At that time, a large number of officials who neglected their duties and took bribes were severely arrested.Until the beginning of this year, there were families of prisoners waiting in line for exile.

It was also not long ago that I came to the meeting, my mind was muddled, except for putting on airs, basically what the courtiers said was what.They said that if the case is closed, then it will be closed. At most, I will go over the report.Two days ago, I looked through the statistics report of Shangshu Province, the report on the appointment and removal of officials in various regions in the first half of the year, and I found a detail worth pondering.

Last year's turmoil made the original official network in Jingyun and Yunzhou completely non-existent.Originally, the appointment and removal of official positions was a matter of one radish and one hole, and some dismissed had to be made up for some, so a large number of imperial examination talents backlogged in the past two years were transferred to Jingyun and Yunzhou.

This matter itself is normal, but when I checked the identities, backgrounds and relationship networks of these fresh officials, a problem emerged.The important posts are all classmates, either classmates or the same provincial Jinshi, and many of them have quite well-established families, and some of them even have officials in the central government.Because of this, some Jinshi who did not perform as well as others in the Hanlin Academy practiced, but instead got a fat job.

However, after careful investigation, I found that there were no obvious loopholes in either the person who handled the appointment or dismissal order, or the appointment process. The positions assigned are sufficient to be competent.In other words, even if I bring this matter up, I have no other choice but to reprimand Shang Shuxing for his cronyism.

But is the problem hidden here serious?serious.very serious.Forming cliques and forming small groups has always been a bad style that our party firmly opposes.Once officials at all levels form a group, it is easy to collude, corrupt one by one, and pollute a large area in a very short period of time.

This is a very severe test for the ruling team.At times like this, leaders should be alert and alert these officials who are making small moves as soon as possible, so as not to hide their filth, and wait until the worst results emerge before dealing with it, it will be too late.

For me and Great Yin Chaotang, this May is a busy May.
