In fact, Yan Shiyue felt very guilty.
She felt that Huo Qiyang had been led astray by her. After all, she often said, "I only like Aye" and so on.
But her father-in-law is the emperor! Her loyalty to the emperor and her father-in-law are basically the same. Besides, she is different from any other official, and her way cannot be copied or imitated.
As for Huo Qiyang, he can only take the right path.
Although this idea of his was due to the influence of his youth and was understandable, he had to change it now that he was an official.
So, the punishment is right!
Everyone ate quietly and discussed in low voices. They revised the management methods for franchisees and drafted an annual assessment mechanism. At the same time, Yan Shiyue decided to set up a complaint mechanism for public supervision.
She asked someone to make a few snitch boxes and place them in busy places, so that people could only put things in them but not take them out.
Then each secret box requires two keys to open, one held by the local government and the other held by the Ministry of Commerce. Someone is sent to open it once a month. Only Qu Sinian and her can read the secret letters. After reading them, someone will be sent to check.
You can report anonymously or not. If it is confirmed that the management regulations have been violated, the franchise qualification will be revoked immediately! If you report as a merchant, you will have priority to replace. If the verification is passed, you can become a new franchisee. Of course, if you make a false accusation, your franchise qualification will be revoked forever!
...
...
At the same time, a reward mechanism and a franchisee grading system are introduced. For example, if the annual sales volume exceeds a certain value, you can upgrade. After the upgrade, you can enjoy higher discounts, greater freedom, etc.
Yan Shiyue sent someone to invite Prince Chun to help. After several people discussed the plan word by word and repeatedly thought about it, they finally decided on a solution.
Then Yan Shiyue named this supervision box "Sky Eye" and sent a message to the capital to find the best locksmith to make it. Then he sent someone to Prince An's Mansion to ask Prince An to mention the words "Sky Eye". Qu Sinian wrote down the details in detail, which would be engraved on the box in due time.
By the time I finished all this, it was almost midnight.
Huo Qiyang was still kneeling outside, and Huo Qijing had not come back yet.
Yan Shiyue went out to look for someone, and following the instructions of the shadow guard, he found the Bi Bo Pavilion, only to see Huo Qijing standing by the pond with his hands behind his back, motionless.
Is he sad?
Yan Shiyue felt a little distressed, so she walked over and carefully held his hand.
Huo Qijing was lost in thought until she held his hand, then he was slightly startled and suddenly came back to his senses.
Then he frowned: "Why aren't you wearing a cloak? It's too cold at night!" He put his arm around her: "Are you cold?"
"I'm fine," Yan Shiyue grabbed his hand and looked up at him: "A Jing, don't think too much, A Yang is just acting like a spoiled child with me."
Huo Qijing slightly lowered his eyelashes, and Yan Shiyue continued: "A person's childhood experiences will have a profound impact on his life. This psychological impact is invisible and intangible, but it is really difficult to change. But what a person 'wants' to do is not very important. As long as he understands what he 'should' do, it is enough."
Huo Qijing smiled bitterly: "I know."
Yan Shiyue held his hand tightly: "A Jing, the Huo family is not only you brothers, but also me, Xiao Jiaozi, and Xiao Nian Gao. The ancestral motto of the Huo family will always be engraved in the bones of the Huo family... The God of War family will never disappear."
Huo Qijing sighed silently, opened his arms and hugged her tightly, and said softly: "Yes, I have a son and a daughter, I will teach them well."
He kissed the top of her head: "Where's Ayang?"
She said, "He's still kneeling there! If you don't nod, who dares to tell him to get up?"
Huo Qijing smiled and held her hand: "Let's go back."
The two walked back hand in hand. Xu Wenqu was squatting on the steps, talking to Huo Qiyang. When he saw the two come back, he left.
Huo Shiyue also returned to the room and asked Weixin to prepare something for hot compress. Since the two brothers hadn't eaten dinner yet, she asked someone to prepare food, and then she went straight to bed.
The two brothers didn't know how long they talked, but she fell asleep and Huo Qijing hadn't come back yet.
The next day, Huo Qiyang went to meet the Minister of Personnel, and then he got into character, submitting a memorial to impeach the Ministry of Commerce for not enforcing the law strictly.
As soon as Huo Qiyang came back yesterday, he knelt in Changle Palace for several hours. Many people knew about this. But as a little guy, he submitted a memorial to impeach the Ministry of Commerce as soon as he took office?
All the officials were a little surprised.
Huo Qiyang is a young man, but he is Xu Wenqu's top disciple. He is as calm as his brother, and his essays for the imperial examinations are very brilliant. There is also a weird joke about him "choosing another father" that has been circulating in the world, so people have complicated impressions of him.
Someone asked, "Master Xiao Huo, does the Prime Minister know about this memorial you submitted?"
Huo Qiyang nodded: "I know."
"Then I wonder what the Prime Minister would say?"
Huo Qiyang said, "My sister has always been very understanding. In her opinion, this is a state affair, not a family affair, so we should follow normal procedures. I joined the Ministry of Personnel, which is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials. If I see that the Ministry of Commerce is not doing something right, I will report it. It's that simple."
Someone else asked, "Then I wonder why Master Xiao Huo was...punished yesterday?"
No one thought he would really say it, they just wanted to see how he would respond.
Unexpectedly, Huo Qiyang said directly: "That was my brother's punishment. I didn't want to complain about my sister, so my brother asked me if I had forgotten the Huo family's ancestral motto, 'Serve the king with all my heart and blood', so he punished me to kneel."
All the officials were slightly stunned.
Huo Qiyang continued calmly, "The Huo family's ancestral precepts are something that Huo Qiyang will never forget. Although I cannot fight on the battlefield, I can still serve my country with all my heart. Since I was chosen as the top scholar by the emperor and was admitted to the Ministry of Personnel as an exception, I will naturally perform my duties faithfully.
Today, I impeached the Ministry of Commerce for the long-term development of the Ministry of Commerce. I have a clear conscience. I heard that since the last time a royal official made a groundless accusation, no one dared to comment on the Ministry of Commerce. I don't think it is necessary. After all, the Ministry of Commerce is a new thing. It is inevitable that there are some shortcomings in thinking or inappropriate implementation. It is better to make corrections and improvements in time than to save it after something happens. "
All the officials couldn't help but exchange glances with each other.
This person, at such a young age, has a calm and confident attitude, speaks eloquently, and does not show any timidity at all... There is no need to wait for some time, right now, he will be a great help to the Prime Minister.
Qu Sinian said, "Master Xiao Huo is right. When the Prime Minister and I heard about this yesterday, we revised the management methods for the franchisees of the Ministry of Commerce overnight. Please review it, Your Majesty."
He presented it to Emperor Ming Yan.
You must know that the Ministry of Commerce now reports directly to the Emperor, which means that the specific affairs within the ministry do not need to be brought to the court for discussion.
But after reading it, Emperor Ming Yan asked everyone to circulate it, saying: "This 'Sky Eye' is quite good. We can also learn from it in other matters."
You know, in recent days, the court officials have been discussing the issue of "returning the fire consumption to the public". The focus of everyone's concern is, if the fire consumption has been "returned to the public", what should be done if someone still secretly apportions it? If there is such a secret reporting system, this kind of thing can be avoided to a large extent.
In fact, if this had been known earlier, perhaps the issue with the national treasury could have been avoided!
But this was Emperor Ming Yan's idea.
The court officials secretly complained... After all, if there really was a secret memorial system, it would be able to supervise more than just the public collection of fire consumption! Wouldn't that put everyone in danger?
