Chapter 393: Happy Events Come in Pairs
Give all the palace maids of the right age to marry out of marriage!
When everyone in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The idea of the queen mother is too amazing and unexpected.
Everyone looked up puzzled, and even Li Yuanche, who was beside Wang Xiqing, couldn't help but turn his head to look over.
"Gently, on the list of the palace released this time, there are thousands of palace maids of appropriate age. Where do you go to find so many marriage partners? ”
Nowadays, the Manchu Dynasty has only a few hundred ministers. He can't give every minister a marriage, can he?
As soon as Wang Jiqing saw everyone's expressions, he knew that they had misunderstood.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know how many soldiers there are in the imperial court now? How many middle- and lower-level generals among these soldiers have delayed lifelong events in order to protect their families and defend the country? ”
Before Wang Ji's light voice fell, everyone reacted.
Indeed, in the past few years, all the soldiers have fought in the north and south with His Majesty, and it is indeed a delay in their own affairs.
Today, there are more than 300,000 soldiers in the court, and among them, there are probably not a few who have not started a family.
Originally, the imperial court was still discussing how to reward these soldiers. After all, there are too many people to be rewarded, but now that the treasury is empty, it is indeed impossible to come up with that much silver taels for a while.
Everyone didn't expect that the things that made them frown would be solved by the queen in such a way.
This emperor personally gave marriage, but it was better than those gold, silver and jewels to win the hearts of the soldiers.
"The queen mother, the ministers and other soldiers thank you." Several ministers in the palace could no longer care about the food served by the palace people, and they all knelt down.
At this time, this queen mother is more than a queen mother in their eyes.
"Get up." Wang Ji smiled lightly and nodded. She is also very pleased to be able to do something for those soldiers who have been on the battlefield.
Besides, she also wants those palace maids to have a good home and support for the rest of their lives. Otherwise, some people may not be willing to leave the palace willingly.
",...... gently" Li Yuanche turned around and clenched his wife's hand, saying a thousand words but not knowing how to speak.
He didn't expect that his wife would be able to think so carefully about the soldiers under his command.
"Ah Che," Wang Ji gently shook her hand, raising her eyebrows a little mischievously, "As for the object of this marriage, it must be seen by the women in the palace first." ”
She doesn't want to make a match and create a pair of resentful couples.
"It's easy to do." Li Yuanche smiled and nodded, "This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites." ”
As soon as Li Yuanche's words fell, Wang Ningzhi got up and stood up, nodded and saluted.
"Your Majesty and Niangniang rest assured, the minister will definitely live up to expectations." It's just to arrange a large-scale blind date, which still can't be difficult for him.
But the words of this marriage are ......
"Niangniang, this marriage is based on the gift, I'm afraid it still needs ...... in the palace" Wang Ningzhi said this, couldn't help but stop, and looked up at Wang Jiqing, who was on top.
This gives marriage to the palace maids, although it is glorious, but according to the rules, I am afraid that some dowries will be given to these palace maids.
Wang Ningzhi's unspoken words, Wang Jiqing naturally understood.
"Lord Wang, please rest assured." She had already prepared for this, "All the dowries of the palace maids who were given this time were taken out of the inner treasury, and there was no need for a penny of silver from the treasury." ”
She naturally knows about the emptiness of the treasury. At this time, how could she not be prepared.
When several ministers in the palace heard this, they were stunned, and then looked at Wang Jiqing with admiration.
Today's palace inner library, although it has the name of the inner library. But everyone knows that in the previous dynasty, the inner treasury had already been cleaned, and now the property in the treasury is just the dowry of the queen's mother.
And the dowry of this queen mother is still fresh in everyone's memory.
Half a month ago, the hundred-mile-long dowry of the Jiangzhou royal family was still a hot topic among the people of the capital at this time.
No wonder the world says that the Wang family of Jiangzhou is rich and rivals the country, but at this time, it seems that it is true.
It's just that the use of the queen's dowry still requires His Majesty's nod in the end.
And Li Yuanche shook his head at his wife's proposal to use the money from the inner treasury to give marriage.
"Gently, those are your dowry, I can't ......"
Wang Ji shook her head lightly and interrupted Li Yuanche's words. She knew what her husband wanted to say, but she didn't give this dowry for nothing.
"Ache, ladies and gentlemen." Wang Ji stood up lightly, with a calm face, "I didn't give this dowry for nothing, even if it is used to deduct taxes." ”
Tax deductions? Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this. That's good, why is it about paying taxes again?
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Wang Ji explained from the beginning.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to use the silver from the inner treasury to do some long-distance business with some big merchants in the south of the Yangtze River,......
Nowadays, everyone knows that the silver of the voyage is the easiest to earn. Of course, the imperial court's tax on this part is also quite high.
It's just that, in the eyes of everyone, if the queen is in business, this tax is really difficult to collect.
At this time, Wang Jiqing took the initiative to bring up this matter, which naturally made everyone quite interested.
“…… Part of the money I earned was used to meet the expenses of the palace, and part of it was intended to be used to open a school. ”
Everyone has known about Wang Jiqing's opening of free schools in various places. At this time, seeing that she raised it again, everyone couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Niangniang," Yang Zhihe, who was in charge of the treasury, first mentioned, "Isn't this school already built?" Why ......"
"Lord Yang," Wang Ji looked up lightly, "This school is not temporary, what I want to do is a school that is free for the people forever." ”
After speaking, Wang Ji turned her head to look at the adults again and said slowly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty and I represent the herdsmen of the heavens, and this matter of opening up the wisdom of the people and educating the people naturally does not dare to forget."
Wang Jiqing, who has been a man for two generations, knows the importance of education. Now, now that she has the conditions, she will naturally spare no effort to promote this matter.
However, if such a school is to continue for a long time, the silver needed will naturally be endless.
The ministers couldn't help but nod when they heard this. It's no wonder that the queen wants to do this voyage business to earn this silver.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Everyone is a reader, so they naturally know how much silver taels they need to spend to read and learn words. These big men can't do it at this time, but the queen is a weak woman, but she thought of it and did it.
"Niangniang, the ministers admire." The ministers couldn't help but bow down to express their admiration.
"Sit down, all the adults." Wang Ji chuckled and nodded, "In this matter, I just proposed a general direction." ”
"As for the details, I still have to discuss them in detail." This detail will naturally be left to these professional readers.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but bow down again. "Rest assured, the ministers will live up to your high expectations."
If this free school can be opened permanently, it will undoubtedly be a great joy for the people of the world.
If this is done, it will definitely go down in history!
And for those who can participate in such a big event, for those of them who read, they will naturally do their best. (To be continued.) )
