Chapter 1902 Dispute

   "Everyone, what do you think of what Chu Aiqing said?"

Mr. Zhong Ge was the first to stand up: "The old minister thinks what Master Chu said is very true. The salt merchants should have more restrictions, otherwise there would not be such rampant people who sell private salt. If it can reduce the price of medicine, it will be good for the common people. The blessing of Chu is also the blessing of Great Chu, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment, which is the trend of the prosperous age."

  Old Zhong Ge’s words made the officials who originally thought that Chu Heng was taking the opportunity to please Emperor Xuanming felt that Chu Heng’s move was really powerful.

  Qi Shangshu laughed silently, moved his fingers, and some officials stood up to object.

   "Your Majesty, I think this matter still needs to be discussed. In fact, most of the medicinal materials are in the hands of aristocratic families. A sudden price increase will directly touch the interests of these people. I'm afraid it will not be so easy." An official stood up and said.

"Master Zhang, what you said is wrong. Just because the price of medicine is related to the survival of ordinary people, it should not be controlled by a few people, but should be controlled by the court. It has moved everyone's interests, so it should be promoted naturally."

   It seems that the Deng family is going to fight the Qi family.

   Take the initiative to cater to the old words of Zhong Ge.

   Soon the objection subsided, and Qi Shangshu didn't speak, but many officials related to him shook their sleeves angrily.

  Emperor Xuanming took all these into his eyes, rubbed his forehead, and said: "In this case, let the Ministry of Households handle this matter. Mr. Zhong Ge will stay and go to court."

   After a moment, Chu Heng walked out.

   Just two steps away, he was entangled by Mrs. Deng.

"Master Chu is a good official who cares about the country and the people. I congratulate you for your wish. As soon as your idea is put forward, I know it will be passed. No, stand up and support it early." Taifu Deng looked at him without looking at him. It was a cover-up, and he almost didn't tell him directly that he supported him in the morning court, so he should show some face.

  Chu Heng already knew Taifu Deng's undisguised character of wanting to please others. Without any surprise on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "They are all doing things for the common people. Mr. Taifu is kind."

   Taifu Deng vomited blood in his heart, he didn't need a good person card, he wanted Chu Heng to show his attitude!

   "Lord Chu, are you free today? Over at Deshanglou, a new dish has been released recently. May I invite you to come with me?" Taifu Deng said directly, especially when he saw Qi Shangshu coming over from the corner of his eye.

  Chu Heng seemed to be thinking: "Speaking of Deshanglou, I may not have gone..."

   Shangshu Qi heard this as soon as he came over, and immediately became vigilant, interrupted, and smiled at Taifu Deng: "Master Taifu seems to be in a good mood?"

"Otherwise, invite me to go with you? Speaking of which, I also miss the roast duck in Deshanglou. Oh, by the way, Mr. Taifu suddenly wants to build this today. It is really broad-minded. I heard that your mansion has helped To connect this year's salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, to get Yanyin?"

Taifu Deng's face darkened, and he poked it back unceremoniously: "Qi Shangshu, what you said, I am just repaying favors, try it, it's not like Mr. Qi, who has earned a lot of money with Yanyin these years, right? ?”

   "Master Deng, don't talk nonsense!"

  Teacher Deng’s words were simply putting the matter on the bright side, and he almost said that Qi Shangshu used this to embezzle.
