Chapter 119 Don't be mistaken?

"What are you worried about?"

Emperor Jingping smiled and said in an elusive tone:

"Didn't you hear that little monkey say that the military weapon station will become the only standard in our Great Zhou Dynasty."

"this....."

Lu Bing forced himself to suppress his surprise, bowed respectfully to Emperor Jingping, and then turned around and left the warm pavilion.

In the deep winter, the air at night seems particularly cold.

Lu Bing looked deep in the direction of the Warm Pavilion, his eyes full of disbelief.

You should know that there are too many things involved in weights and measures, ranging from taxes, salary, and daily life to people.

The confirmation of weights and measures in the past was only promoted nationwide after the imperial court had been pondered and formulated.

According to common sense, Xiao Zicheng's actions are indeed suspected of being usurped.

Once the new regulations and measures of military weapons are implemented in the Six Divisions as Xiao Zicheng imagined, all kinds of chaos will inevitably be created.

As the emperor, Your Majesty will not be unable to see the conflict hidden behind it, but Emperor Jingping still has a tacit attitude.

He did not express his opinion on the surface, but did not object.

If he had not checked all the eighteen generations of the Xiao family's ancestors early on and confirmed that Xiao Zicheng was born by Uncle Yongyi.

Just based on Emperor Jingping's attitude towards Xiao Zicheng, Lu Bing almost thought he was His Majesty's illegitimate son.

Lu Bing chose to skip this question very wisely. Anyway, he was just the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he was the eyes and ears of Emperor Jingping, and he was just a butcher's knife.

When he was trying to figure out the things like the superior intention, he had always only guessed three points. After all, being smart and being clumsy was the way to settle down.

Since Your Majesty didn't say much about this, as a minister, he just let it go.

Therefore, in the next few days, there were many iron mass and utensils on the imperial desk of Emperor Jingping.

What can be met is that if Xiao Zicheng saw these things on the imperial desk, he would definitely be shocked.

Although he ordered the craftsmen of the Military and Weapons to take care of them closely, he did not expect that these anchors were sent to the imperial front immediately.

"This little monkey is quite smart. He knows how to quickly draw it, but why did he make it like this..."

Emperor Jingping played with the weight on the imperial desk with great interest, looking at the clear words carved on it, revealing a thoughtful expression.

The three people who happened to enter the warm cabinet were surprised when they saw the pile of utensils in front of Emperor Jingping.

"Everyone comes and see what Xiao Zicheng has made."

The footsteps of the three people pulled Emperor Jingping out of his meditation. He waved his hands to the three people who had just entered the hall and said lightly.

Zhang Hong and others, who were already curious, surrounded him when they saw Emperor Jingping's permission.

Xie Bi, who has always been sensitive to calculating the technique, suddenly exclaimed and muttered to himself after looking at the weight for a while:

"It's interesting. These weights are arbitrarily added, and they actually contain all the weights within one pound."

When Emperor Jingping heard this, he suddenly became clear and the smile on his lips became strong.

After some mental calculations, Emperor Jingping felt more and more that the new regulations of Xiao Zicheng's military weapons were much more convenient than the old system.

Even so, the old rules have been circulating in the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it is not possible to fully promote the new rules overnight.

But Emperor Jingping was still full of expectations for military weapons. He had a premonition that after Xiao Zicheng entered the military weapons station, military weapons station might really become an existence that attracted the attention of the world.

The news that Xiao Zicheng announced the re-definition of the system and the weights and measures soon spread among the six imperial court departments.

Except for the six elder brothers of the Ministry of Rites, the other five departments were all in a bad mood after hearing the news.

Among them, the most violent reaction was the Ministry of Revenue led by Yang Yixing.

You should know that as the financial authority, the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of land taxes, tariffs, lijin, government bonds, currency, etc.

If we say that the new regulations are implemented seriously, the Ministry of Revenue will definitely be the first to bear the brunt of it.

Just as Xiao Zicheng finished his work and was about to take a good rest, he heard his subordinates come in and report that Yang Yixing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was here.

When Xiao Zicheng heard Liu Tong's news, he was stunned, but he immediately guessed the other party's purpose.

"please!"

Soon, under Liu Tong's trembling guidance, Yang Yixing slowly walked into the military equipment office and saw Xiao Zicheng who was in the yamen.

It has to be said that as the uncrowned king of the six ministries, Yang Yixing's every move is majestic.

Xiao Zicheng's ears were so calloused that he heard the rumors about Shangshu Yang in front of him.

But meeting one-on-one like now is still the first time to create the world.

"Sir Shangshu, please sit down."

After Yang Yixing entered the yamen, Xiao Zicheng invited him to take the seat, while Wu Tian was very eye-catching and served tea.

"Mr. Xiao is now highly valued by His Majesty, and he really has a bright future."

Yang Yixing had a smile on his face, staring at Xiao Zicheng lightly, and teased.

"hehe."

Xiao Zicheng smiled slightly. He could not say he was disgusted with the famous Shangshu Yang, but he had no favoritism.

However, Yang Yixing came in person without slapping the smiley person, which was enough to give him face.

"Shangshu Yang took his time to come to our military weapon station, probably because he was to measure the new rules, right?"

Yang Yixing took a sip of hot tea, and an accident flashed through his lower eyes.

He originally wanted to exchange a few greetings with Xiao Zicheng before getting to the point.

At the beginning, what Xiao Zicheng did during this period really made him love talents.

Secondly, he also wanted to see that Xiao Zicheng, who was in the limelight, had some ability to fall to the ground.

But what he didn't expect was that Xiao Zicheng actually said his purpose directly.

Seeing this, Yang Yixing no longer hid it, gently put down the teacup and said lightly:

"Sir Xiao, are you planning to use the new regulations you put forward in this military weapon institute only for military weapon institutes, or are you planning to promote them nationwide?"

"Does Lord Shangshu have any suggestions on this?"

"My Dazhou has been using the old system for a long time. If it rashly turns into the new rules, it will probably cause unnecessary unrest. Sir should not mistake it for himself."

I'm going? Lord Shangshu has such a great official power?

Listening to the strong threatening meaning in Yang Yi's jargon, Xiao Zicheng couldn't help but curl his lips:

"May Lord Shangshu want to say that our military weapon has overruled this move?"

Yang Yixing looked at Xiao Zicheng deeply and said with a blank expression:

"It is of great importance, and this matter should be decided by His Majesty and the Six Ministry."

Xiao Zicheng didn't say a word when he heard this, staring at Yang Yixing intently, and Yang Yixing also met Xiao Zicheng's gaze.

However, in my heart, Xiao Zicheng couldn't help but mutter that the Minister of Revenue was really too ungrateful.

Needless to think about it, the Jinyiwei must have submitted his words and deeds over the past few days to Emperor Jingping.
