After coming out of Fengtian Hall, Liang Zhengqi did not take the other important officials back to his home, but instead went straight to the study room where the cabinet handles government affairs on weekdays.

The rest of the people who were left by Liang Zhengqi were also old foxes. After looking at each other, they knew that the show tonight had not ended, so they followed Liang Zhengqi to the study without complaint.

After everyone sat down, before their butts were warmed up, Liang Zhengqi, who had been sitting for a while, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the cabinet's second assistant Gu Ziju:

"Gu Cifu, although you haven't seen the memorials of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, how big a mess will happen if you change rice to mulberry within a year? Will you not be able to see the memorials of the cabinet?"

Gu Zishen, who was pointed at by Liang Zhengqi, still looked leisurely and contented:

"Mr. Liang Ge, you are so harsh. Although it is not appropriate to change rice into mulberry, once you succeed, the silk that ranks first in the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Gentiles will have a significant increase in sales. At that time, will it still be the treasury of our Ming Dynasty?"

"Nothing!"

To everyone's surprise, Liang Zhengqi did not put down his self-dispute as usual after listening to Gu Zishen's self-dispute, but instead slapped him on the armrest of the seat:

"Zhejiang has been regarded as seven mountains, two rivers and one branch of land since ancient times. Just now, I said in front of His Majesty that less than 20% of the farmland is already a compliment to Zhejiang!

If rice is really changed to mulberry, it would be like the transfer of grain and grass from other provinces in previous years. How many people would starve to death in Zhejiang? Do you know?!"

Although Gu Zishen was suppressed by Liang Zhengqi's momentum at the beginning, he quickly sneered:

"Master Liang Ge, changing rice into mulberry is your Majesty. If you ask me what good strategies you have, you can always confront Your Majesty, but we are still loyal to Your Majesty and dare not contradict him at will."

"Loyal to Your Majesty?" Liang Zhengqi sneered on his face when he heard Gu Zishen's self-defense:

"If you are really loyal to your Majesty, okay! I will do it with you!"

As he said that, Liang Zhengqi suddenly stood up and spoke around Gu Zishen in his seat:

"This year's winter seedlings have been planted, and the Chinese New Year will be held in less than a month. If we start to change rice to mulberry next year, these rice will not have time to grow!

As for the difficulty of adjusting grain on weekdays, even if other provinces agree to double the amount of grain, they will definitely be slow!

By then, the people will lose food, and the charity warehouse disaster relief grain accumulated this year will not be enough in the rush. If the people want to survive, they will only have one way left-"

Speaking of this, Liang Zhengqi happened to walk to Gu Zishen, condescendingly and continued to say:

"That's it, officials force the people to rebel! If something big happens, no one of the wealthy businessmen and local officials in Jiangnan behind you will want to run away!"

Gu Zishen knew that he was in the wrong, and at this time he was even more sweating. After a long time, he lowered his head and said:

"If those unruly people want to rebel, wouldn't it be better to send troops to take care of them?"

"Army watch?"

Yang Bo, Minister of War, suddenly laughed:

"Mr. Gu, no matter how many troops there are, there are not more people in Zhejiang. Even if they really go to take care of them, they will not rebel this year. Next year, the year after tomorrow, the year after tomorrow will definitely rebel.

And the longer it delays, the more people will rebel, and no matter how powerful the army is, it will not be able to withstand it."

"Just, even if you say that, wouldn't it be enough to manage the provinces at the beginning?!"

When Gu Zishen saw that Yang Bo, who had always been uninterested in the government, had spoken against him and could not hold back.

"Mr. Gu."

To Gu Zijian's surprise, the eldest prince was the second in charge, and the Minister of Revenue Liu Qinshen even spoke:

"Unless Your Majesty issues an imperial edict, the food reserved by local officials in other provinces will be used as disaster relief food for emergencies. Therefore, there are many difficulties in mobilizing on weekdays, and time cannot be kept up. I hope Master Gu will think twice."

Seeing that everyone in the eldest prince spoke out against him, Gu Zishen had to stop and sit in his seat without looking up. He said in a depressed sentence:

"Since that's the case, I have nothing to say, everything will be decided by the Prime Minister."

Seeing Gu Zi's examination of this virtue, Liang Zhengqi became even more angry:

"What are you? Well, even if you don't talk about the comments from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, what's your intention when Your Majesty asks the Third Prince's personal bodyguard?

Who in the court knows that Lin Shanxia is His Majesty’s person? That’s why His Majesty has no idea of ​​supporting his parents and children. Otherwise, after you recommended Lin Shanxia, ​​His Majesty would let him serve as the deputy commander of the Military and Masjid and enter the palace to be the guard of the Third Prince.

Then, how should the eldest prince regard himself?!"

Having said this, Gu Zishen also realized the danger in his words just now. After a long silence, he slowly stood up from the chair.

Just when others thought Gu Zishu had to continue to defend himself, he made a move that almost everyone could not imagine.

The second-level assistant to the cabinet, the first-rank grand sir and the leader of Jiangnan officials, Gu Zishen Gu actually knelt down at Liang Zhengqi.

That's not all. After Gu Zishen knelt down, he slapped himself repeatedly and shouted:

"Thank you, Master Liang, otherwise Qingshan (Gu Zishen’s name is Qingshan) would cause a disaster today!"

When Gu Zishen knelt down, Li Chunfang, the third in the cabinet, couldn't sit still and hurried forward to help Gu Zishen:

"Why is Lord Gu? Master Liang just hopes that our ministers can share the worries of the country. Your Majesty has already left the memorial of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, and we need to come up with a complete solution.

As for the guards of the Third His Highness, Shangshu Yang has already helped His Majesty decide the right candidate. Lord Gu should ask him to get up quickly."

After Gu Zishen's fuss, coupled with Li Chunfang's persuasion, Liang Zhengqi lost the mood to continue to clean up. He waved his sleeves and spoke up boredly:

"Mr. Li said very well, Lord. Please stop when you see it is good."

Seeing that Liang Zhengqi had no idea of ​​continuing, Gu Zishen slowly got up with the help of Li Chunfang, sat back on the chair and stopped talking.

After beating Gu Zishen, Liang Zhengqi pondered for a moment and came to Li Mingjie, the Minister of Rites. While reaching out to stop him from getting up, he spoke:

"After the third prince left the palace, the salary was higher. After all, everyone had already come out, so it would be boring to continue. Lord Bu."

The Minister of Personnel Bu Duoyan suddenly heard his name and quickly stood up and bowed:

"Please give me instructions."

"Isn't the Beijing Administrative Office going to start in the late twelfth lunar month this year? Since Lord Bu is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, he will take advantage of the Beijing Administrative Office to tell the Censorate and the Sixth Centre Officer that I said it was:

The third prince is about to move out of the palace. After leaving the palace, the matter will no longer be a royal matter, but someone else's private affairs. He will use the prince's private affairs to impeach him, and everyone will not be able to get over it."

"I understand, understand."
