Chapter 223: Shangshu Shilang
God bless the dynasty
December 29, 15th year of Yong'an
This is the day when the imperial court has a holiday to prepare for the New Year, and the emperor and the ministries will not officially go to work until the fifth day of the first month of the first month of next year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The welfare of the officials of the Tianyou Dynasty is very good, not only there is a year-end dividend equivalent to two months' income, but also the emperor will give a reward when he congratulates him on the first day of the first lunar month.
Therefore, not only children are willing to celebrate the New Year, but also officials are more willing.
It's a pity that this year's atmosphere is destined to be worse than before, because many students from Tai Academy and Guozijian have been injured.
Most of the Tai Academy are the children of the poor family in the field, with the speed of the ancient letter and the deliberate concealment of the injured person, their parents probably don't know that they can have a good year, but the students of the Guozijian are almost all the children of the official family, or the kind of people who are very promising at a glance, they are injured, they are gone, who still has the heart to celebrate the New Year.
Originally, Emperor Yong'an also planned to let the crown princess have a banquet for the wives of various families in advance before the year to see who was as poisoned as Mrs. Zhang, but who knew that there would be a stampede, and the prince wanted to set up a banquet at this time to celebrate, not to find scolding?
Fortunately, the invitations were not sent out, the prince had to be fortunate about this, and Emperor Yong'an thought more, how could it be so coincidental, Mrs. Zhang was exposed to the imperial court investigating, and there was such a major event in the capital that involved a lot of women, and the women didn't often go out, and now the children are injured and gone, they want to be emaciated or crying, how to tell whether they are sad or addicted?
"The Cao family's business has been good over the years, how much money does his family have now?" Emperor Yong'an was not idle after sealing the pen, and asked Li Hejin, the current head of the household department.
When Cao Xiangming was the secretary of the household department, Li Hejin was the left servant of the household department, and when Cao Xiangming was the left servant of the household department, Li Hejin was the langzhong of the Qing Officials Division, and he was indeed Cao Xiangming's old subordinate, and he was also a person who was very resentful in Cao Xiangming's heart at present -- he thought that Li Hejin was a villain who stepped on his boss and climbed up.
"Excluding his wife's dowry, it is currently five million one hundred and fifty-four thousand one hundred and twenty-three taels of silver, and the Cao family's daily food expenses are thirty-one taels of silver, and it will cost more at the end of this year. Li Hejin replied in a low voice.
More than five million taels of silver, when the emperor is slanderous, he is really reluctant to watch the Cao family spend it again, but it is a pity that the emperor has to calculate the private property of the courtier's family, there must be a justifiable reason, right?
"The silver of a courtier's family is equal to the total income of the imperial court for three years," Emperor Yong'an said to the crown prince and uncle on the side, and then continued to ask Li Hejin, "The Cao family spends money very losently, right?"
"Yes, the silver that the Cao family father and son have spent on the party has a total of one million taels over the years......" Li Hejin said softly, he still remembered his partner, the former right waiter of the household department, and the current left waiter of the household department, Ren Zhongyu, who covered his chest once and again, and felt distressed, how much can he do if this money is given to the household department!
The Tianyou Dynasty is relatively lenient in the management of officials, although it is not allowed to go to the place where the wind and the moon are held, but the etiquette is still to go to three or five friends to feast and play or something, and there must be a place to go, so there is never a shortage of gray areas like Hui Zeyuan to play * side balls, as long as you don't stay overnight, there is no defense with female music, and the imperial historians will not sue.
Cao Xiangming is always in that gray area to provoke the peach blossoms, as his original subordinate, Li Hejin habitually called those places a happy place, anyway, Li Hejin will never go to those places, as a person who keeps all aspects of money firmly in mind, spending money is very painful and nerve-wracking for Li Hejin.
"Just spend it, it's his family's own money, and it's also considered to pay taxes to the court. "Emperor Yong'an still has to comfort Li Hejin, as the emperor, he knows very well what his henchmen are.
When Li Hejin retired, Emperor Yongan complained to Xing Shijie again: " Cao Xiangming has been the head of the household department for four years, every time I ask him which province's taxes, or the year-end savings of the household department, in short, as long as the amount of money is large, he can't answer immediately, he has to go back and look at the account book again, I can't remember it, and I have to write it on paper and read it out in front of me, sometimes it's interesting, I asked him about the tax collection in Jiangnan for three years, he hurriedly went back and asked people to calculate it and write it out on paper, and then I asked him about Jiangnan's income in the last year, and he had to go back and calculate it and return it......"
Xing Shijie was so funny to hear, didn't Cao Xiangming have a good brain in seven steps to become a poem? Why can't he remember these numbers?
But for the emperor, this kind of work ability is not funny at all, the emperor is in charge of everything, summon a household secretary and then don't have to do anything else this day, can it work?
Li Hejin has never written any eye-catching good poems, he is not even as smart as Ren Zhongyu, Ren Zhongyu can plan to calculate two accounts with both hands at the same time, and it is never wrong, but Li Hejin is more realistic, he is not smart, he is willing to memorize, he has put all the big and small accounts of the household department in his head, and he consumes energy to the point of vomiting blood. ”
Emperor Yong'an's words were explained to the crown prince, when Cao Xiangming was demoted to Nanfeng City as the prefect, the emperor and the prince were a little estranged, and Emperor Yong'an didn't bother to explain more to the prince in terms of personnel appointments - won't he observe it himself?
In fact, Li Hejin and Ren Zhongyu were able to walk into the sight of Emperor Yong'an, thanks to Cao Xiangming, Cao Xiangming didn't the emperor ask him about his numbers, did he have to go back and check the number again? At first, it took him half a day to check once, and then it became faster and faster, and in the end, he actually came back after just a few steps out of the imperial study, and the ink marks on the small note had not dried.
Of course, Emperor Yong'an will pay attention, if Cao Xiangming can memorize him, he doesn't have to go out of the house, how could he come back so quickly, who helped him?
It's not difficult to figure out, there are two people who help Cao Xiangming, and they are waiting outside when Cao Xiangming is a saint.Emperor Yong'an wants to ask whether the taxes of the Tianyou Dynasty last year and the year before are high or low, Cao Xiangming quit and said that he wants to check, and then among the people he brought, one reported the accurate number, and the other person immediately calculated the result, and then wrote it, and Cao Xiangming could make a difference.
To be honest, with these two people here, what does Emperor Yongan want Cao Xiangming to do, do you want to run errands and toss time one more time?
"Ren Zhongyu's memory is also very good...... "The prince said carefully, he was reinstated, it stands to reason that he should no longer leave the impression of a party to the emperor, but Li Hejin and Ren Zhongyu are both talents discovered by the emperor himself, and it should be nothing for him to use as a temptation, he has to express his opinion, otherwise a submissive heir will disappoint many people.
"Ren Zhongyu is stingier than Li Hejin, he cares too much about money, he feels distressed every time he allocates a sum of money, I didn't let him be the head of the household department, it was for the sake of his body. Emperor Yong'an really didn't take it seriously and smiled.
And this reason also amused the prince.
