Chapter 573 (1/2)

”Why did your highness choose your highness? Although the lower officials have wild prospects, they are not arrogant enough to think that they have the talent to help the world. ”

Gu Yu calmed down at the moment before he was dizzy.

Somehow, he kept his reason and was not completely bewitched by Liu Zhao's words.

It's just hard to avoid. Some are worried about gains and losses.

Afraid to refuse too simply, lost the opportunity. And he was afraid that he would pay more than he expected.

He was willing to take a chance. What's the cost?

Liu Zhao was surprised that Gu Yu was not easily bewitched by him and could still think calmly.

Good, good.

He really has two brushes in his eye.

Liu Zhao said bluntly: ”because you are sitting in the right position, you have become the most suitable person.”

”Because of this?” Gu Yu frowned slightly.

Liu Zhao nodded, ”yes, because of this.” He was honest enough not to cheat.

Gu Yu licked his lips. His lips were dry and cracked. It seemed useless to drink more tea.

”How many years does your highness need me to be the magistrate of Xinmin county?”

Liu Zhao was silent for a moment, then said: ”more than ten years.”

Gu Yu said in a hurry: ”this is against the rules.”

Liu Zhao laughed and said, ”which of the rules in Xinmin county?”

Xinmin county is the only county in Dazhou that has no self-employed peasants. However, other counties can't match the tax revenue.

It's not that the refugees didn't want to farm.

Farming is fundamental. Many refugees dream of farming.

However, the land in Xinmin county has long been bought by Gu Jiu, and there is no surplus land for the refugees to open up wasteland.

Outside Xinmin County, the refugees are not entitled to the land.

Even the title deed of Xinmin county government is still in Gu Jiu's hands.

Gu Jiu reminds Gu Yu, ”at the end of this year, there will be a big evaluation. Whether you can continue to sit in the seat of Xinmin county magistrate and see how it works at the end of this year.

Xiao Jiu and I can help you, but at the same time, they will also attract a large number of imperial censor's attacks and even frame up.

But Huyang princess is different. If she strives for the benefits for her son-in-law, she is simply too natural. Of course, your majesty will not care. Do you understand the difference? ”

Gu Yu nodded, and he understood.

One is to strive for the benefits of their own people, and naturally they will be accepted.

One is to seek profits for the prince, which involves the struggle for seizing the throne, which is bound to attract numerous criticisms.

As Liu Zhao said, they are sensitive to their identity. If you can protect him for a while, you can't protect him for the rest of your life.

He wants to make further progress in his official career. He is afraid that he will waste ten or twenty years before he can get another chance.

Gu Yu is already thirty, and he is not willing to continue to waste time.

Take the post of county magistrate of Xinmin county and let his talents be displayed. He enjoyed his life and was full of energy every day.

Watching Xinmin county change every day under his own management, he is full of a sense of achievement.

After tasting the taste of power, who is willing to stay away from the official career and continue to waste ten or twenty years.

Gu Yu asked directly, ”what does your highness need me to do?”

Liu Zhao laughed, ”Gu county magistrate, don't worry, you just need to agree to this marriage, nothing else needs to be done.”

Gu Yu frowns. Is there such a good thing in the world?

”In addition, we should work hard to prepare a generous dowry gift. This is the bride price list. My highness has prepared it for you. Just follow the order. If the money is a little tight, my highness believes that Gu county magistrate must have a way to solve it. ”

Gu Yu never expected that Liu Zhao even prepared the bride price list for him.

Obviously, Liu Zhao came with preparation. I don't know how long he has planned this matter.

Gu Yu was frightened.

Before the Su family, clearly is smoke, used to confuse people.

Gu Yu even suspected that the reason why Princess Huyang fell in love with Su Zheng was that Liu Zhao manipulated it secretly.

Why didn't Liu Zhao direct Huyang to see him?

Gu Yu asked himself and thought about it.

I'm afraid it's because his condition is worse than that of Su Zheng. Princess Huyang doesn't look up to him at first sight.

Su Zheng was a Jinshi and an official in the Imperial Academy. Even if it is temporarily down, the reputation of the Su family is still there.

Gu Yu even guessed that Liu Zhao dared to make such a calculation, that is, he was determined that the Su family would refuse.

Even if there was an accident, the Su family agreed to Huyang princess's proposal, and Liu Zhao would try to destroy the marriage.

Encountered the Su family mercilessly refused, estimated Huyang princess will slightly reduce the requirements of the future son-in-law.

At this time, he entered the sight of Princess Huyang. It was just right.
