But the opportunity has been lost, and in a short period of time, it is impossible to mention this draft again, whoever dares to mention it will take the silver.

As a result, there are not a few people who hate Fang Handong, the general in Beijing.

The year before last, the emperor was drafted, the daughter of the family, the retired relatives, the registered names, who would have thought that none of the emperors would be selected later.

And last year, as the emperor said, there were knives in various places, and the situation was unstable. But all the families who have plans have a plan have been delayed in their marriage.

It's easy to get through to now, seeing the emptiness of the new emperor's harem, it is a good time to plan for the family, but Fang Handong has cut it off-

Since you want to mention the draft, let's think about all kinds of possibilities in advance, so that the emperor can't refuse, but this guy doesn't leak a single rumor, and how many people's rich and noble futures have been ruined by doing such uncertain things!

The emperor has said all this, even if it is a family that can take out the silver for the emperor's draft, who dares to show his wealth at this time?

Aren't you waiting to be robbed by the emperor?

Fang Handong returned home and looked at the 20,000 taels of silver tickets in the gate, and the original joy and excitement turned into panic and fear at this time.

When he said the draft, the emperor told him about silver, did the emperor not want the draft at all, or was the emperor deliberately beating him?

To say that he has been an official in the court, and after so many years, the only thing that makes him short of breath is the word money!

He suddenly regretted a little, why did he want to see Qian Xian last night and take 20,000 taels of silver?

provoked the emperor who had almost forgotten him in recent days to re-target him!

Mrs. Fang also knew the inside story, and watched her husband's face get worse and worse on the side, so she complained:

"After so many years, our family's silver is enough, why bother to have anything to do with his Feng family? You go and return this silver to them today, and cut off contact in the future, so as not to be affected by them again!"

"Impossible!"

Fang Handong, who felt regretful just now, suddenly closed the box in his hand and held the 20,000 taels of silver tickets firmly in his arms.

"Even if I don't do this, this silver will never be returned to their Feng family!"

Mrs. Fang suddenly became angry:

"Okay, okay, just hold it, wait to bury it with your silver!"

Fang Handong was in a panic at home, but he was reluctant to give up the money, and the eldest man of the Feng family was angry at home!

"Look, look! Look at what the guy surnamed Fang has done! Twenty thousand taels of silver tickets!

The Feng family is rich, as long as they don't raid the house, they will be condemned, Master Feng is really not afraid, but Fang Handong is a fool, this is swallowing 20,000 taels of the Feng family for nothing!

Mrs. Feng also scolded her, but compared with the silver, it made her son more anxious about her son's future:

"It's time to see that it's the Shangyuan Festival, and once the Shangyuan Festival is over, the way of the officials will not be easy to go!"

Most of the official transfers in Daqi start at the beginning of the year, are evaluated at the end of the year, and are transferred every three years.

And the documents for the transfer of officials by the Ministry of Officials, after the Shangyuan Festival, can no longer be issued at will unless there are exceptions, and it will be even more difficult to find a way to get an official position for the sons of the family when the time comes.

And at this time, because the emperor did not let go, who would dare to let the Feng family's children recover in private?

Master Feng turned around with his hands behind his back for a long time, and suddenly remembered someone again:

"Since you can't get into the palace, do you want to let Jin Niang go to the Chengen Mansion to try?"

"Cheng'en Mansion?"

Mrs. Feng finally didn't have Master Feng's whimsy, and after reacting, she shook her head:

"The Cheng'en Mansion is now the only one in Beijing, I heard that Mrs. Qiuguo is a daughter who loves her life, our family was offended by the queen in the first place, and if you go to find the Duchess of Cheng'en at this time, I am afraid it will be even more trouble!"

Master Feng is still confident:

"No, our fourth brother, when he was in Yuzhou, he also helped Bai Bingxiong, the prince of Cheng'en, a great favor, even if they can't get along with us, they won't give the fourth brother any face, let Jinniang try! Besides, let's go to the door to ask for peace, and we are not going to provoke trouble! As long as there is a glimmer of life, we can't let it go!"

The fourth brother in the mouth of Master Feng is Feng Jinniang's father, Feng Zhiyao, who is the same as Yuzhou.

Mrs. Feng couldn't, so she had to call Feng Siniang and tell Master Feng what he meant.

Feng Jinniang's marriage was also delayed because of the emperor's draft, and until now, the family plans to use her to favor the new emperor.

Feng Siniang despised the clansmen in her heart for selling women for glory, but on the other hand, since her marriage had been delayed, why couldn't she give it a go?

She is confident, with her appearance and mind, as long as she is given a chance, how can she not compare to Bai Chenghuan, the crazy woman?

So she agreed without much hesitation, although Li is a straight temper and sometimes embarrassing, but she is not the kind of unreasonable mountain shrew, she is good at the door, and there is absolutely no reason to stretch out her hand to hit the smiling person.

The next day, Feng Jinniang asked someone to hand over his father's post to the Chengen Mansion.

But the Li family went to the palace to accompany his daughter, and he was not in the house.

The steward on the door of the Cheng'en Mansion was the new emperor who entered the Cheng'en Mansion when he rewarded the mansion, and he didn't know much about the past, and he only saw the post of the daughter of the same knowledge in Yuzhou, and only thought it was the old acquaintance of the master's family in Yuzhou, and politely accepted the post, but he didn't expect it to cause a big wave immediately.

As soon as the person sent by Feng Jinniang came back and said that the Chengen Mansion had taken the post, Mr. Feng and his wife were immediately very happy, this post was accepted, and when Jinniang saw the Li family, they set up friendships, this old grudge, can it be solved smoothly?

Feng Jinniang was not as happy as them, and immediately said to Master Feng:

"Uncle, although the Cheng'en Mansion took the post, this is far from enough, the uncle still has something to do!"

"What else do you want to do? Isn't it the silver and worship that are going to be made?" Master Feng's intuition was to think of spending silver, but as long as it worked, he didn't feel distressed!

Feng Jinniang smiled slightly:

"You don't have to spend money, but you need manpower-you want to bring the second sister-in-law into the palace to meet the queen's mother, and today's Cheng'en Mansion received our Feng family's post, so that everyone in the capital knows!

This time, Master Feng quickly understood that his niece and nephew were trying to build momentum, build momentum!

The queen mother has already met the daughter-in-law of the Feng family, and the queen mother's mother's family has received the Feng family's post again, isn't this a handshake and peace?

You have to let everyone in the capital know!

When the time comes, if the queen mother refuses to forgive them, she will be narrow-minded and ruthless, but she will be criticized!

"Good nephew, with your resourcefulness, the Feng family is expected to prosper!"

Master Feng excitedly called for orders, but Feng Jinniang was not half sincerely happy because of his praise.

It's not so much that she is resourceful, but that the Feng family's men are worried!

She dared to do this, and the gamble was nothing more than the face of the Chengen Mansion, and the queen was not allowed to be criticized, and the reputation of the mother in the world was tarnished-

But this is only a five-five number, whether the Li family and Bai Chenghuan will be forced to swallow this dumb loss due to public opinion is still unknown!

She didn't tell her eldest uncle that if this move was successful, the Feng family would at least be able to get out of the predicament on the surface, but if it failed, it would be even more defeated than now!

The Li family is now alone in the capital, and her husband and son are far away in the northwest, so she can't worry about it, so she only pounces on her daughter.

Bai Chenghuan was in a bad mood these days, and the Li family went to the palace to accompany her, relieve her, and return at night.

Seeing that it was getting late on this day, Bai Chenghuan didn't want the Li family to run back and forth, so he left her to live in the palace.

Li was originally going to leave the palace, but her daughter said that she wanted to sleep with her at night, and she softened her heart and simply agreed.

At night, the mother and daughter slept together, and talked about Bai Bingxiong and Bai Xianghuan in Ningzhou, northwest China.

"Brother's family, what is my mother's plan?"

Bai Xianghuan is twenty-two years old, and in Daqi, this age is enough to be the father of several children.

Li sighed, also quite worried:

"Who knows where your brother's marriage is. ”

Bai Chenghuan thought about it for a moment and said:

"At the beginning, the Zhai family withdrew, and I didn't take my brother very seriously, probably because I hadn't seen the Miss Zhai family, and I didn't feel sad in my heart, but it was not a way to delay it like this. ”

Speaking of the Zhai family, the Li family remembered one thing:

"This Zhai family is also ridiculous, since you arrived in the capital last year, the Zhai family doesn't know where to get the news, and you actually let the matchmaker come to the door to make peace, what is this for our family?"

"Naturally, I think that our family is now rich and worthy of their young lady. But such a person, forget it. ”

Judging from the original withdrawal from his family, Bai Chenghuan did not have a good impression of the Zhai family.

If you want to be rich and rich, you can retire your daughter to participate in the draft, which is understandable.

It's just that this inflammatory-oriented face is too ugly.

"If not, my mother should let my brother come to the capital. ”

Bai Chenghuan finally suggested.

The Bai family is different from the past, if you search carefully, it is not difficult to tell your brother a good wife in the capital.

This Li has no objection:

"Also, for our family, the northwest is unfamiliar with life, even if you want to say kiss, people who don't know the bottom line are not at ease. ”

"Just like this Zhai family, although it is your father's comrade, they have only been together for a few months, and as a result, they have delayed your brother for several years!"

Bai Chenghuan turned over and hugged Li, and said obediently:

"Then my mother will write a letter tomorrow and let my brother come to the capital!"

Li agreed repeatedly.

The mother and daughter talked again in the middle of the night before going to sleep.

Over there, Xiao Shaotang stayed alone in the dormitory, bored, and simply got up and put on his clothes to watch the folds.

Spring is about to begin, and the rain and snow were even last winter, so this year will be a year of good weather and good weather.

If the first year of Taifeng belonging to him can be a bumper year, at least it shows that God approves of him as an emperor.

But planting in the spring and repairing the river embankment in the summer cost money, and the treasury really didn't have much silver.

Xiao Shaotang is really worried.

After all, it was not easy for the silver taels of the Qin Palace's mansion to support the Qin army to fight in the capital, and it would be a drop in the bucket if it was to support the treasury.

When he was worried, Sanxi walked in:

"Your Majesty, there are rumors outside the palace!"

"Oh, what rumors have alarmed you?"

As a popular imperial guard in front of the emperor, Xiao Shaotang felt that Sanxi should not make such a fuss.

Sanxi thinks it's incredible:

"It's about the queen mother and Mrs. Qiuguo! Now it has spread all over the capital, saying that the queen mother met the daughter-in-law of the Feng family, and Mrs. Qiuguo took the post of Miss Feng family again, saying that the queen mother is ready to reconcile with the Feng family!"

But they all know that with the queen's mother, it is absolutely impossible to forgive the Feng family!

Sure enough, I saw Xiao Shaotang's eyebrows raised:

"Where did all this rumor come from?"

"It's from the Feng family themselves! This cheeky person is really thick enough!"

Sanxi has already found out the root cause clearly.

Xiao Shaotang immediately understood the intentions of the Feng family, and sneered:

"Yes, what a good plan! Since the Feng family is willing to relieve my worries, I don't accept this favor for the queen, I'm really sorry for their painstaking efforts!"

Sanxi doesn't understand the emperor's meaning very well:

"Your Majesty, why are you worried?"

"I'm worried that I don't have any money!"

Xiao Shaotang stood up and commanded:

"Since the Feng family can send tens of thousands of taels of silver to the Fang family, I think it's still very rich, go, Zhu Siming, the secretary of the Xuanhu Department, enter the palace!"

Sanxi is still habitually talkative:

"Your Majesty, it's curfew now, will it be too late?"

"Just talk a lot, take the token in the palace and tell Zhu Siming that the silver for spring ploughing is there!"

Because he was still going to the morning court the next day, Zhu Siming had already rested, and Sanxi came to the door, and when he was called up by his wife, he was frightened:

"W, what the hell is going on?"

"The emperor decreed, Lord Xuanzhu entered the palace, there are important matters to discuss, and the silver for spring ploughing is there!"

When Zhu Siming heard this, he immediately had mixed feelings, and in his lifetime, he really met a conscientious emperor?

He has been the head of the household department for the abolished emperor for five years, but he has never been called into the palace late at night because of official business!

The ambitions of the past have long since turned into mediocrity over the years, but at this moment, Zhu Siming feels that the feeling of blood boiling is back!

Since the emperor is so diligent, why is he afraid of hard work as a courtier?

He hurriedly packed up and followed Sanxi into the palace.

The emperor was waiting for him in the imperial study.

After saluting, Zhu Siming looked at the emperor with bright eyes:

"Your Majesty, I heard that the silver for spring ploughing is available?"

The spring ploughing of Daqi, the grain used in the past years, is distributed by the imperial court.

Some poor and weak families even need the government to lend cattle and horses for their use, and in addition, there must be special agricultural officials to supervise and guide the people.

Although these various expenses are nothing compared to other large expenses, they are very important for the harvest of the whole year.

The plan of the year lies in spring, and spring ploughing is the top priority.

Xiao Shaotang nodded:

"Yes, there we have. However, Lord Zhu has to check it carefully, the silver that the Fang family has made in the sacrifices over the years, and all the deficits of the Feng family's children during their tenure!"

"When we find out, let's get all this silver back for the benefit of Li Minsheji!"
