Cui Yanyan came to Yuelaiju with joy and heard the shopkeeper say that Zhao Yan had already gone to Cui's mansion.

She couldn't help but be overjoyed, but when she arrived at Cui's mansion, she found that Zhao Yan had not gone. She couldn't help but feel anxious and began to send the servants of Cui's mansion to find Zhao Yan.

An hour later, Zhao Yan and Heiwa appeared ten miles south of the city, in a village called Yunling Village.

There are about hundreds of families in Yunling Village, with low and low houses and scattered in a row. After nearly noon, smoke from every family came up, which made Zhao Yan liked very much. So he came to the village and prepared to find a courtyard to live there for a few days, and also learned about the civil affairs here.

As the emperor, his understanding of the people's farming life is currently very scarce.

...

At this moment, in an extremely luxurious hall of the Cui family.

The five brothers from the second generation of the Cui family gathered together.

Among them, the Cui family's cloth business is managed by the eldest brother Cui Ruhai, the land business is managed by the second brother Cui Rongqing, and the book business is managed by the third brother Cui Yixiong.

The fourth brother Cui Mingzhi and Cui Fengyuan are in charge of several shops. Because they lack abilities, they are not very interested in doing business.

After a fat boss Cui Ruhai coughed dryly, he said, "Our father went to another place and could not return for the time being, but the new policy is coming in full force. We must discuss how to oppose the new policy!"

"Brother, in my opinion, we just refuse to execute. The court is so far away from us. We just need to go through a formality and it cannot affect our money!" Cui Rongqing, the second son of the Cui family, said with some disdain.

"The second brother makes sense. The county magistrate who is walking in the world is our god brother. The prefect of Ganping Prefecture is our son-in-law. As long as they don't report it, we can live a very prosperous life. Besides, this new policy should not last long. No court has to rely on depriving scholars and businessmen to enrich the country and strengthen the people!"

Cui Mingzhi frowned slightly, stood up and said, "Brother, second brother, I think the new policy is not a bad thing for us. The court will not kill all the merchants. There must be other policies to support us. It is better for us to follow the new policy..."

"Fourth brother, sit down!"

Before Cui Mingzhi finished speaking, he was stopped by Boss Cui.

This is Cui Mingzhi's status in the Cui family.

In front of outsiders, he was the fifth master of the Cui family, very majestic. But in the eyes of his other four brothers, Cui Mingzhi was a waste.

Because in the past ten years, none of the strategies proposed by Cui Mingzhi have been successfully implemented.

On the contrary, it did not follow his direction at all, achieving very good results.

At first, after Cui Mingzhi was unsuccessful in Ganping Prefecture, he felt that Ganping Prefecture, a small place, had limited his development, so he turned his attention outside.

Because he is more talkative and has a good literary talent, Cui He, the head of the Cui family, asked him to go out to do business.

Unfortunately, Cui Mingzhi only knows how to talk about things on paper, and he can't do anything, and he almost loses money when entering any industry.

So, he is now working as a shopkeeper in a book shop in Xingyuan County, and his life is much more comfortable than before.

Now, he has almost no say in the affairs of the Cui family. If he hadn't given birth to Cui Yanyan and gave the third generation of the Cui family the only girl, such meetings might have excluded him.

Immediately, Cui Mingzhi leaned on the chair and stopped talking, but he thought about the conversation with Zhao Yan that day. He still felt that Zhao Yan's words made sense.

"Brother, I think blindly resisting the new policy is not good for our Cui family. We must learn to take advantage of the power and use the power of the people to oppose the new policy. In ancient times, aren't it all because of the opposition of the people. The court should take into account the public's opinion and then finally compromise?" Cui Laosan Cui Yixiong said with a narrowed eye.

"Lao Lao, how should you do it if you want to talk about it specifically?" Boss Cui asked excitedly.

"First of all, this new policy has caused many scholars to lose their motivation to study. We should encourage those scholars who have no fame to go to the streets to make trouble, write poetry and essays to criticize the new policy, and then let the people sit in the county government offices to make the bigger the matter, the better!"

"San Lao, aren't you going to let Shi Qing lose his official position?"

"It's not true. You have to do this well. Maybe Liu Shiqing can be promoted!"

Hearing this, Cui Mingzhi couldn't help but feel excited. The third child of the Cui family has always claimed to be "Little Zhuge of the Cui family" and has contributed many brilliant ideas to the Cui family's business.

Cui Laosan showed a confident smile on his face and said, "As far as I know, except for the court's new policy, apart from His Majesty and the few ministers who only followed His Majesty's leader, most of the other civil and military officials still disagreed with it. The Shuzhou New Policy also encountered great troubles. It is still difficult to say whether the new policy was successful or failed."

"I think the chance of success of the new policy is very small, which is completely the ideal state in the heart of the little emperor. I, the Emperor of Great Zhou, can only rule the world with the scholars and officials. His Majesty loses his roots and turns the people to the beginning and end, which is wrong in itself. We can use the voices of the people and the articles of readers to completely make this matter bigger, and it will spread from Ganping Prefecture and Luzhou, which will arouse resonance in different places. Once the people's sentiment is boiling, the new policy will naturally stop. When Your Majesty realizes his mistake, our Xingyuan County will become the savior of the country. Liu Shiqing and his third brother-in-law Mo Sheng will inevitably have the opportunity to be promoted. Maybe he is still expected to enter the center of the court. By then, my Cui family will not be just a declining aristocratic family!"

When everyone except Cui Mingzhi heard Cui Laosan's words, he couldn't help but become completely excited.

This is a total opportunity to make great achievements.

If the Cui family can turn the tide and stop a wrong decision by the court, then the Cui family might be as famous as the largest aristocratic family, the Kong family, and be famous in history!

This temptation is fatal to everyone here.

At this moment, Boss Cui was in a state of great pain and his imagination was that if this matter really happened, he would be the main promoter.

He had been living for most of his life and regretted not being able to become an official. If this matter was done, he would definitely apply for a title from the emperor, and he would have no regrets in his life.

"Haha, my Cui family is about to rise!"

Boss Cui slapped the table and said, "The third brother's advice is very good. Let's do it as soon as we say it. Let's fan the scholars first. As for the people, as long as they have money, they will do whatever they want. I will go to the county government office to discuss with Shiqing and strive to build up this momentum tomorrow!"

After saying that, the four brothers of the Cui family went to work hard!
