The first thousand two hundred and fifty-seven chapters talk and laugh with Hongru

Once this starts, it will not be able to stop at all, and there are carriages and long queues, endless.

In a short while, more than a dozen carriages had arrived in front of the Grand Theater.

"Dad, we're here!"

I saw a white-faced young man coming to the carriage.

Another middle-aged man was walking out of the carriage. He looked around and said, "The environment here is really good!"

I heard someone shouting not far away: "Brother Wei Xian."

"So it's Brother Liu, don't be fine!"

I saw middle-aged men wearing brocade clothes coming out of the carriage. They were all very handsome, and there were also one or two handsome young men around them. They looked like nobles.

They gathered together, pointed at the Grand Theater, and nodded from time to time, as if they were very impressed by the style of the Grand Theater.

Cao Xiu and the others who were hiding beside to watch had already moved from joy to shocked expressions.

These people are not ordinary people. They are all senior officials in the court, or respected scholars and officials. Today they are just selling tickets and sending servants. Why do you come here in person and bring your own son and grandson with you? What's going on?

Soon, a long queue was lined up in front of the ticket sales site, but they were all servants. The high-ranking officials stood by and watched the Grand Theater while chatting and laughing. Their son and grandson were asking the staff of the Grand Theater for the situation, which was relaxed and comfortable.

Not only that, there were also a constant stream of people coming here. Without exception, they were all high-ranking officials and nobles, as if there were no carriages and were embarrassed to come to buy tickets. The parking lot of the Grand Theater was soon full of cars.

Cao Xiu and the others have all been petrified.

This is OK, Han Yi is really a god!

Even Zheng Shanxing, who was standing at the window on the second floor of the Grand Theater, couldn't help but look dumbfounded. After a long time of life, he slowly turned his head and looked at Han Yi, "This - what's going on?"

Wang Xuandao frowned slightly and thought.

Han Yi smiled and said, "After all, I am the Minister of Revenue, how could they not come and support me?"

Zheng Shanxing was stunned and said angrily: "If there are some businessmen standing below, then I believe you, but my cousin and the others will not come to support you. Brother Han, don't keep it a secret, tell us, what's going on? Why are even my cousin and the others here?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "What do you think they won't come?"

Zheng Shanxing said: "Of course, it is because His Majesty approved the relaxation of the various colors. This is not good news for our aristocrats. How can they still have the mood to come here to buy tickets?"

Han Yi said: "It was because of this that I expected that they would definitely come."

Zheng Shanxing hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?"

Han Yi asked back without answering: "How do you think they were feeling before?"

"Of course not good."

"What will people in a bad mood do?"

"Looking for something happy," Wang Xuan said.

"correct!"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Now that Your Majesty is not here, they can't stop Li Yi's mansion from doing things. And Your Majesty is obviously standing on the side of Li Yi's mansion. Since that's the case, it's better to come here to go around and express your feelings for mountains, rivers, singing and dancing. You can only be sulky when you stay in the city, especially the gentry class. Your gentry has always been arrogant. As the saying goes, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you will be safe. Your cousin and the others must be thinking, since Your Majesty doesn't need us and suppress us everywhere, then we don't have to do those thankless things. Come here to walk around and show your gentry's self-discipline. This is the open-mindedness and elegance of the gentry."

After hearing this, Zheng Shanxing shook his head and sighed: "I never thought that you would understand our gentry even more than us."

Han Yi said: "The authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear!"

Wang Xuandao suddenly said, "What about you?"

Han Yi said: "What am I?"

Wang Xuan said: "You are not a gentry, and you are obviously used by Li Yifu and others in this matter. Why can you still be so relaxed and ignore this matter even more."

Zheng Shanxing also looked at Han Yi with a curious look.

Han Yi smiled and said, "I will fight with them, what can I get? Power? I am now the Minister of Revenue, and I am still so young and have a bright future. Wealth? Haha, I have never even received my salary. If I win, what? If I lose, what can I change? It's just that there are more officials in the court and fewer officials."

Zheng Shanxing said: "You can't say that. If this continues, the court will become overcrowded. Once the phenomenon of redundant officials occurs, it will bring heavy burdens to the country. This is a major disadvantage."

Han Yi said: "Do you know how many people this grand theater feeds? At least there are thousands of people, and it has also changed the customs of Pingkangli, reduced the occurrence of crimes, and allowed countless singing girls to show their talents instead of making money by relying on flesh and blood. This is a great thing for the people. Why do we become officials for? Isn't it just for the people? As long as the people's lives are good, the country will not be in chaos, and it doesn't matter whether the court is in chaos at all. People will get sick, and the court will not be healthy all the time. If you get sick occasionally, you can detoxify."

Wang Xuandao narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Han, in fact, you make sense every time, but please forgive me for yours. I don't believe that there will be people like you who are as open-minded and noble as you. Moreover, if you really devote yourself to the country and the people, how can you remain indifferent when facing such a situation?"

Zheng Shanxing nodded and said, "Xuan Dao's words are reasonable. Brother Han, what medicine do you have in this soup?"

Han Yi sighed and said, "If you don't believe me, then I can't do anything about it. Actually, I am such an upright person."

Wang Xuandao smiled slightly and said, "We were going to queue up just now. You invited me here, so this ticket-!"

Han Yi rolled his eyes immediately.

Suddenly, someone shouted downstairs: "Shangshu Han, Shangshu Han."

Han Yi turned his head and saw a group of young men waving to him. It was He Ruohan and others. When they shouted, everyone's eyes looked upstairs.

"The eyes of young people are just good!"

Han Yi shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Zheng Shanxing. Wang Xuan said, "You two, I will lose my companion first."

"Please."

After Han Yi left, Zheng Shanxing asked Wang Xuandao: "Xuandao, what do you think?"

Wang Xuan said: "From my understanding of Brother Han, I will never believe that Han Yi is such a selfless person."

Zheng Shanxing frowned and said, "To be honest, I don't believe it either, but you see what he did, it seems to be the same as what he said. He is really thinking about the people."

Wang Xuan said: "These are actually two different things, but one day, the answer to this mystery will be revealed."

"You guys are late!"

Han Yi came downstairs and smiled at He Ruohan, Yuwen Xiumi and others' young men. In fact, the people standing here are either rich or noble, but only when they came, Han Yi came down to greet them in person. This is because they are new types of nobles and are in the core interests of Han Yi, and Han Yi is still very polite to them.

Yuwen Xiumi said depressedly: "We thought there wouldn't be many people, so how could we know there would be so many people? It's a mistake!"

Han Yi said angrily: "Do you know that you said this to humiliate me."

He Ruohan said curiously: "Shangshu Han, you are so amazing. Even the scholars and officials rushed over to buy tickets." As he said that, he glanced at the elders not far away.

Han Yi showed his hands, "Is there anything strange about this? Is this grand theater worthy of this honor?"

"I didn't say that." He Ruohan smiled and said, "Shangshu Han, just teach us a few tricks."

They are all children of nobles, so they don’t know what happened in the court, and they are also very curious about it.

Han Yi said: "In a word, you need to be strong yourself. My Grand Theater has enough charm to attract them, it's that simple."

He Ruohan and Yuwen Xiumi all looked at Han Yi with suspicion, but they couldn't think of any reason.

Just now, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind me: "Shangshu Han."

Han Yi looked back and saw a few elders standing in front of him.

Yuwen Xiumi and others hurriedly saluted them.

Han Yi also bowed and smiled: "It turns out that it is Doctor Wei and Grand Secretary Cen, who are disrespectful and disrespectful."

"Shangshu Han seems to be quite idle recently and has time to come here." A thin middle-aged man said, "This man is a righteous doctor, Wei Zhongju, who just left the official position. He has no power in the court, but has a high reputation.

The few people around him are like this, and they don’t hold any important positions, but they are talented and knowledgeable, and are very popular among scholars.

Han Yi said: "It's not a question of leisure. After all, I came here to do things, not for vacation. It's just about the matters of the Ministry of Revenue. I'm almost busy. I can take a breath and come here to take a look."

"We have also heard about this. The Ministry of Revenue dispatched officials to the northwest has gone very smoothly."

"It's not a matter of success, and it still took some time."

Wei Zhongju said: "When it comes to this, I want to ask Secretary Han for advice. I wonder what Secretary Han thinks about the variegated and colorful things?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of people around them.

Han Yi shrugged and said, "I have no opinion on this. After all, I am so smart and have strong ability to do things. At most, those officials can only compete for the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and there will be no threat to me. Moreover, I always believe that if it is gold, it will always shine. If it is garbage, it will not be eliminated. True talented people will enjoy competition very much. Only those who are incapable will be afraid of being replaced."

Yuwen Xiumi and the others almost laughed out loud when they heard this, and quickly lowered their heads.

An elder beside Wei Zhongju laughed: "Shangshu Han is really confident!"

Han Yi said: "I came to Chang'an alone in a field. With no background, I became the Minister of Revenue. Should I still feel inferior?"

He Ruohan and others couldn't help but nod.

Idols are idols, and they can chat and laugh so freely in front of these respected elders.

Wei Zhongju said: "The ability of Han Shangshu is beyond doubt, but what I want to ask is, Han Shangshu believes that this matter is pros and cons for the country?"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "How can we distinguish the pros and cons of things in this world by all pros and cons? I think there is always a reason for everything happening. Instead of knowing the pros and cons of it, why don't you think about why this happened and why things evolved to this point? Is it because of a certain person or other reasons?"

Wei Zhongju lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, sighing: "Shangshu Han is really worthy of being one of the best among the rising stars of the Tang Dynasty. If you can see so thoroughly, I feel ashamed of myself!"

Han Yi smiled and said, "If you could have thought this way early in the morning, maybe I would not have been able to get to where I am today. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for your contempt at that time."

Many noble children on the side were angry when they heard it. Even if you, Han Yi, is the Minister of Revenue, is still a junior. How could you talk to your elders like this? It's really rude.

Wei Zhongju and his friends looked at each other, their eyes full of bitterness, and nodded, "Thank you, Shangshu Han, for your advice."
