Chapter 123 How much money is earned
"This, what the hell is going on?" In the study of Yu Yu's new home, Yu Yu, Doudou, Xiao Baiyu, and Lu Bin were all there. Yu Yu, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, stayed in the school for a few days, and happened to have no classes tomorrow, so he rushed back this afternoon, and as soon as he got home, he happened to meet the eunuch who passed the decree, and knew that he was appointed as the commander of the Praetorian Guard.
"Little Baiyu, tell me about it!" Yu Yu asked.
Xiao Baiyu frowned, "A few days ago, you just rejected the emperor, which embarrassed him a little, but then you saved his life, this is the opposite, it stands to reason that it will not be like this, at most you will be given some rewards such as gold and silver." This Janissary Commander has a lot of power and tens of thousands of people, you are a student, you are not deeply involved in the world, how dare the emperor 'hand' such an important position to you?"
"Yes, I can't figure it out, the most important thing is that I am a student and have not yet graduated, how can I have the time and strength to 'worry' about the affairs of the Praetorian Guard, besides, I am the material for being an official?" Yu Yu was at a loss for this appointment, and he didn't know why the emperor had a whim and 'handed over' the safety of the palace to himself.
"Then, don't we have to give him that money anymore?" Doudou thought for a moment and asked.
"Ahem, well, no need," the little white fish hurriedly said. When Doudou heard this, he said with satisfaction, "That's good, I'm going to cook!" After speaking, he got up and left!
Lu Bin plopped down and knelt down in front of Yu Yu, "Thank you, Master Hou!"
Yu Yu pulled him up, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Bin stood up and said, "I already know, long live the order, don't let the people of the Lu family trouble me again, I know it's because of the Hou Ye!"
"Oh, you're well-informed, I don't know yet. You don't have to take it to heart, it's a little thing!" Yu Yu said, "By the way, Lu Bin, tell me, why did the emperor 'hand' me such an important responsibility?"
Lu Bin shook his head, "The specific son doesn't understand, and I don't understand it even more." But I think it's definitely a signal from Banzai to you!"
"Oh, you tell me about it!" Yu Yu's eyes lit up.
Lu Bin groaned for a while and said, "No matter what attitude Banzai had before, this time he asked you to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and it was directly appointed, which means that Your Majesty has 100% trust in you." I think this is what Banzai wants to explain, if this is not the case, Your Majesty can promote your title to duke, give you more gold and silver, and not have to give you real power, and also defend the Holy City, and even the Imperial Palace!"
The little white fish's eyes were also bright, "What Lu Bin said makes sense, maybe that's what he meant." He has taught you the right to designate the deputy commander, which shows how strong the trust is, which is equivalent to completely 'handing' the guards to you!"
Yu Yu nodded, "If that's the case, then it seems that this Praetorian Guard commander has to do it." Just now I was thinking about how I could push it off, but now it's impossible to push it, otherwise it will be shameless, and more importantly, once I resign, I will really become a rebel. After all, I am a subject of Yanguo. Hey!"
"Someone is coming!" Xiao Baiyu frowned, Lu Bin heard it, and hurriedly went out, and after a while, Lu Bin's loud voice came from the front yard, "My lord, my lord is discussing in the study!"
As soon as Yu Yu heard that someone was coming, he hurriedly rushed from the study to Qianyuan, and as soon as he arrived in the living room, a middle-aged man dressed in an official mansion immediately stood up and smiled all over his face, "My Hou Ye, you can be regarded as waiting for you!"
The person who came was the new secretary of the ministry, Tan Jikai.
"Master Hou, this is your seal letter, your court clothes, etc., the lower officials have brought it to you, in addition, this is a congratulatory gift from the lower officials, you have to accept it no matter what, it's not a valuable thing!"
Yu Yu asked Lu Bin to take the marquis's seal letter and other things, but he was a little hesitant about the two boxes. Such an obvious congratulatory gift, Yu Yu believes that it is not a kind of gold and silver money, and it is okay to accept it, but this gift is so obvious, I am afraid it is not good.
Tan Jikai is such a person, he smiled, "Master Hou, look!" He asked people to open the box, Yu Yu took a look, it turned out that the congratulatory gift given by Tan Jikai turned out to be two boxes of tea sets.
A set of boxes, a total of two sets, looking at a very large box, in fact, there are more packaging materials such as cotton 'flowers', worried about the tea set being impacted, the real thing, only two sets of very small.
Yu Yu is naturally a knowledgeable person, and when he looked at the two sets of tea sets, he understood that this was definitely a rare treasure. The tea set is made of agate, which is crystal clear, and most importantly, there is no trace of impurities in the agate of these two sets of tea sets.
It's worth it!
When a new official takes office, it is not illegal to send congratulatory gifts in Yanguo, even the emperor will send some congratulatory gifts to some newly appointed officials of the Holy City to show the court's concern.
Yu Yu didn't refuse anymore and let Lu Bin accept it, Tan Jikai didn't stay long, just said some other information about Hou Ye's Yulu and left. The commander of the Praetorian Guard, that is to report directly to the emperor, Tan Jikai told him several times.
In the study, Xiao Baiyu looked at the two sets of tea sets and said, "The officialdom is really dark, each of these two sets of tea sets should be worth ten thousand taels of silver." This Tan Jikai is really rich! He is also a big deal, and he will give such a valuable thing when he comes up! Isn't he afraid that the emperor will find out?"
Yu Yu shook his head, "If he dares to send it so blatantly, he will definitely not care if the emperor knows, I dare to assert that these two sets of tea sets must come from the right way, otherwise he would not dare to send them like this!"
"If you come in the right way, you will take it?" said the little white fish.
"Collect, why don't you accept it?" Yu Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "Officialdom is the most taboo and high, if people are willing to give you something, you have to accept it, otherwise it is to pretend to be high, the so-called water is clear, there is no fish, and there is no futile when people are inspected, a clean official is not necessarily a good official, and a good official is not necessarily a clean official." ”
"Hmph, I haven't reported it yet, I'm talking about the way of being an official, I really dare to put gold on my face!" Xiao Baiyu glanced at Yu Yudao with disdain.
"This tea set is good, I'll take a set!" said the little white fish.
"Didn't you just say you couldn't ask for it?" Yu Yu rolled his eyes and said in pain.
"But you've already taken it!" said the little white fish seriously.
"Your Majesty, you said that such a heavy burden was 'handed over' to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!" In the imperial study, Yu Yu sat opposite the emperor and said with a slight smile.
After dinner, he came to the palace for an audience, which Tan Jikai repeatedly advised.
The emperor smiled, "I believe in you, you can do it!" You can appoint a person at will, I don't ask who you want to remove, who you want to remove, who you want to use, it's also your word, I won't ask a word, just say hello to the officials after it's settled, don't forget to report to the officials this time." ”
Yu Yu smiled awkwardly, and the emperor smiled and motioned to Yang Hong to pick up a seal letter wrapped in yellow cloth on the desk and hand it to Yu Yu. Yu Yu opened it and saw that the print of the commander of the Praetorian Guard turned out to be an eagle's head print.
The token of the other Praetorian Guards is the Tiger Head Order, with the words on the front and the tiger head on the back, and the front of the large seal of this commander is the words "Seal of the Praetorian Guard", and on the back is an eagle with wings spread and staring at the eagle below, which is mighty and powerful.
Yu Yu took the seal letter and put it away, and smiled at the emperor, "Your Majesty's body is important, I won't bother, let's go first!" The emperor also minded Yu Yu's words, nodded and said, "I have 'handed' the net worth and life of the family to you, do it well!"
Back at home, Yu Yu wanted to talk to Xiao Baiyu about how to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard, but after chatting for a few words, he found out that Xiao Baiyu not only had no interest in being an official at all, but also was more idiot than him.
"Just take it, there's something to say!" said the little white fish.
Yu Yu rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that if it was really that simple, it would be good.
At night, Yu Yu went to bed early, hugged Doudou and said, "Doudou, do you see if I can be a good commander young master?"
Doudou's little face rubbed against Yu Yu's chest, and said, "Does the commander make a lot of money?"
"Oh" Yu Yu was stunned, "Nima, I forgot about this matter again and didn't ask." ”
"Young master, you can't be like this, you forget the most important thing every time. If you have the chance, be sure to ask the adult during the day, how much you earn a year. Let's see if we can get a bigger house. I heard Xiaohong say that the houses of those old men in the Holy City are all courtyards with nine entrances and nine exits, and the big ones are very large, and there are also big 'flower' gardens, I want to buy a house like that, but Xiaohong said that such a house costs more than 300,000 taels in the Holy City, and our money is not enough!"
"Hmm" Yu Yu thought for a while and said, "Doudou, don't worry, young master, I promised you that I want to buy you a big house, and I will definitely buy it." When I'm done, I'll ask Tan Jikai, look at how much Yulu is, if it's less, young master, I will resign from this official after graduation, and find something to do to make more money and make money quickly!"
"Oh," Doudou fell asleep after a while.
