For such a great achievement, each family sent their bastards to go to the south of the Yangtze River with Yang Fan to gain merit. It was simply the best of both worlds!

However, Yang Fan thought for a moment and asked anxiously: "Has Mei Niang promised them any official positions, or will they definitely be officials?"

Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "Does Mr. Lang really think that Meiniang is a fool? I just said that I have the opportunity to become an official, but I did not promise them that I would definitely get an official position."

"What's more, those aristocratic families gave me a lot of money in order to make me agree to allow their children to go with my husband!"

"But no matter what, the husband has the final say on who he wants and who he doesn't want?"

Yang Fan was shocked and shouted: "What? Mei Niang took their benefits?"

It would be deeply inappropriate to accept benefits on the condition of promising an official position.

Although the emperor allowed himself to open a palace and build a government office, as long as it was of a transactional nature, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was "selling his official position and getting a title".

Once the imperial officials have conclusive evidence, they will definitely be attacked by a group of people. Even if Yang Fan does not die, he will have to shed his skin!

This is not the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, when official positions could be clearly priced.

In the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was the wise and mighty His Majesty Li Er!

Not only are there assistants such as Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and other famous ministers throughout the ages, but they are also supervised by old trolls like Wei Zheng.

Once Yang Fan dares to play the trick of "selling his official position to get a title", there is no need for His Majesty Li Er to get angry. An official like Wei Zheng can teach Yang Fan how to behave in minutes!

However, Yang Fan quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is no promise of an official position, the nature is completely different.

In fact, when Li Er allowed himself to open a government office, he allowed himself to appoint officials, but these officials needed to be approved by the court.

But if Yang Fan says that someone is not up to standard to be an official, then no one will be able to do anything about it.

As for the benefits received by Wu Meiniang, it is a bit difficult to consider whether this is considered a blatant request for bribes.

Yang Fan touched his head and felt a little headache.

Wu Meiniang blinked: "Mr. Lang is afraid that someone will use this as an excuse to impeach him for using his official position as a inducement to gain benefits?"

Yang Fan was surprised by Wu Meiniang's observation ability.

Is this bitch so powerful that she can know everything others think?

However, Yang Fan did not hide anything and said calmly: "It is true, Mei Niang, what you did is indeed slightly inappropriate."

Wu Meiniang smiled mischievously: "Gee, how did Mr. Lang know that I didn't think of this problem beforehand?"

That charming appearance almost made Yang Fan want to pounce on her.

Holding back the throbbing in his heart, Yang Fan asked: "Since Mei Niang has thought of it, why do you want to accept their benefits?"

Wu Meiniang asked: "It can make money and win people, so why not accept it?"

"Since it is directly linked to the quota, no matter what price you ask for, those people will not bargain. After all, compared with official positions, what is money?"

Wu Meiniang's behavior left Yang Fan speechless.

However, those people understood Wu Meiniang's idea of ​​​​getting a vote. Since they didn't need the money anyway, they simply helped Wu Meiniang and for the sake of their own future.

Officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, these are officials registered with the imperial court, with a bright future...

Yang Fan didn't understand Wu Meiniang's thoughts and asked in confusion: "We are not short of money, why do we make such uneasy money?"

Seeing that Yang Fan was a little confused, Wu Meiniang beamed with joy and was extremely proud.

However, this girl knows that the man in front of her can be teased, but she cannot go too far.

Just to show her pride, Wu Meiniang said: "If we don't spend the money ourselves, why would we be uneasy?"

Yang Fan was stunned for a moment: "Where does Mei Niang want to use this money?"

Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "Your Majesty asked your husband to go to the south of the Yangtze River in order to prepare materials for the Eastern Expedition. If your husband donates this money to the emperor to prepare materials and weapons, etc., do you think the emperor will be very happy?"

Yang Fan's eyes lit up, he patted his thigh and kept cheering.

Isn't this using the money of those wealthy families in Guanzhong to achieve political achievements for themselves?

Needless to say, once he donates the money, His Majesty Li Er will certainly be delighted!

Such a good minister and son-in-law, who knows both coldness and warmth, can hardly be found even with a lantern.

Not only can he go to the south of the Yangtze River to get grain from the fire for the sake of the future of the empire and the emperor's will, but he can also show his concern and support for the emperor's great cause before leaving.

At this time, if anyone dares to jump out and impeach Yang Fan for seeking power for personal gain and openly asking for bribes, His Majesty Li Er will be the first to spare him!

Asking for a ridiculous bribe!

The money has gone into the emperor's pocket and will be used to achieve the great cause of becoming an emperor through the ages. Who dares to say anything?

Yang Fan had to be amazed.

Wu Meiniang deserves to be the first female emperor in Chinese history. Her political wisdom is almost innate and she understands people's preferences well.

If the censors and officials are affected this time, who in the south of the Yangtze River will dare to impeach themselves easily in the future?

Give the censors a handle, and then give them a counterattack. Use His Majesty Li Er's hand to severely attack the censors' arrogance and make them restrain their so-called rumors. At least there must be evidence to impeach the minister.

This is not only digging a hole, but also establishing authority!

Even if there is some minor disturbance in Jiangnan in the future, the Yushi Yanguan will not dare to act rashly!!

This is simply a matter of killing two birds with one stone. Wu Meiniang is indeed worthy of being a queen.

There are simply a variety of tricks used to deceive people.
