This is the key point they care about, they don’t care much about anything else.
Although the gentry groups have many common interests, their individual interests and demands are different.
Some people are concerned that a business with a royal emblem will affect their own business.
Some people don't care about these things, because their families don't have many businesses, and the school only has a lot of fields. So this matter has little to do with them, and in this case they are not very worried.
Some people think that having a royal logo will improve business, and they support it very much.
So opinions are very divided.
However, there was one thing that everyone was indeed cautious about, and that was what Sun Chengzong mentioned. If the royal logo was given to these businesses, if they did something bad, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the royal family?
Everyone present was very concerned about this. Even in the court, no one dared to speak out loudly because the matter was quite sensitive.
However, in the cabinet, since Sun Chengzong brought it up, it was something that could not be avoided, so this matter had to be put on the agenda for discussion.
Xu Guangqi glanced at Sun Chengzong and said slowly, "I don't think it's a big deal. These people were originally presenting items to the royal family, which means this is the truth. Since it's a fact, there's naturally no problem. So I think we don't need to worry about this matter."
Xu Guangqi's attitude did not surprise them.
Xu Guangqi always insisted that his subjects should refrain from interfering in the emperor's affairs and let him make his own decisions. This would reduce unnecessary conflicts between the emperor and his subjects and prevent alienation between them.
However, this is contrary to the current mainstream thinking, so Xu Guangqi encountered a lot of resistance.
At this time, Sun Chengzong spoke again, "But what if these merchants sell inferior goods as good ones and harm the people? You must know that they are attacking the royal family's name. If they sell inferior goods as good ones, it will damage your majesty's reputation. If that happens, your majesty's reputation will be damaged, and even killing those people will be useless."
This is a very serious issue. Several people looked at each other and thought of the same thing in their hearts, which was to stop His Majesty from doing this.
If this incident doesn't happen, then this problem will naturally disappear.
"So we have to abolish this thing?" Xu Guangqi said angrily, "Can't you see the benefits of this thing? I don't believe you can't see them. The benefits of this thing are obvious. Are we going to ignore the benefits just because of those problems? What do you call this? This is called throwing the baby out with the bathwater!"
"Since you're worried about them harming the people and falsifying information, why don't you find a way to resolve this issue? Instead of thinking about solving the problem, you're thinking about not doing it. What is this? This is lazy governance!"
Xu Guangqi glanced at everyone and said slowly, "Anyway, I won't agree to stop."
Sun Chengzong glanced at Xu Guangqi and leaned back calmly.
He would not argue about this with Xu Guangqi.
Ever since they entered the cabinet, it seems like the two of them are not on the same wavelength, and they always rush into things.
But Sun Chengzong knew in his heart that he could not really clash with Xu Guangqi. If he and Xu Guangqi were to confront each other now, he would definitely be the one to fall.
Although I am His Majesty's teacher, this is useless because at this time, the relationship between Him and His Majesty is only that of a subject and a king, and the master-disciple relationship no longer exists.
All I have to do is wait until Xu Guangqi makes a mistake himself.
Now Your Majesty wants to use Xu Guangqi. I have to wait until Xu Guangqi disappoints Your Majesty, otherwise I will have absolutely no hope.
Especially when it comes to matters concerning His Majesty, if I stand against Xu Guangqi, I will have no chance of winning.
Han Yu glanced at Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi. He originally thought that a very fierce conflict would break out between the two, but he didn't expect Sun Chengzong to stop talking.
Han Yu felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that he couldn't blame Sun Chengzong at this time.
So he smiled and said, "What Lord Xu said makes sense. We have been appointed by His Majesty to lead the cabinet, so of course we cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater. However, you know the disadvantages of this matter, and you also know the advantages, so we must think of a solution."
"Since you, Lord Xu, have proposed this idea, why don't you take charge of this matter? Please write a memorial for us to review, and if it's appropriate, we can jointly submit it to His Majesty. How do you think we should proceed with this matter?"
Sun Chengzong glanced at Han Yu, squinted his eyes and said nothing.
Huang Kezun on the side also looked as if it had nothing to do with him.
He knew in his heart that Xu Guangqi had been tricked this time, buried by the combined efforts of Sun Chengzong and Han Kuang. Sun Chengzong dug the pit, Han Kuang buried the soil, the two men working in perfect coordination, one in front and one behind.
Xu Guangqi glanced at the two people. How could he not see such an obvious thing? Moreover, these two people were not playing tricks, this was a complete conspiracy.
Since you agree, then you can come up with a reason. This is also reasonable.
If you don't accept the challenge, then everything you said before will be in vain.
Xu Guangqi knew that the two of them did this not to harm him, but simply to make him do more things and offend more people.
As the saying goes, a rope saws through wood and water drips through stone. Under such circumstances, I may not stay in the cabinet for long.
