Chapter 101: State and Family Affairs 3
Yu Xianmin's worries are not unreasonable, and after many years of experience in officialdom, the specific explanation of "there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add" is already familiar with it!
"If you can't figure out the emperor's true intentions and intentions, it is extremely important to be cautious, even if the emperor doesn't have all kinds of thoughts, he must earn a loyal move for the country." Yu Xianmin stopped throwing cups and said.
Zuo Chen completely believes in his uncle's good intentions, which is different from the high-sounding rhetoric including Prince Qing, this is to put himself in the shoes of the Liu family and consider Zuo Chen. The emperor looks extremely atmospheric, and when the finances are stretched, he is not sure that it is so light.
"Uncle, in fact, my nephew has paid a lot for the emperor, and the summer cold and glass mirrors have won glory for him." Zuo Chen was really reluctant in his heart, and he worked hard to get it, and he had to change hands with someone before he could cover it in his hand.
"The ability to live well and live without scruples are two concepts, which seem to be incompatible, but they are actually ......, and the relationship is quite deep! As you said, you are fighting for the glory of the emperor and Da Antai, that is also a matter of face, but there will never be a heavy amount of silver to benefit! Can face solve hunger and poverty? Or can flooding be stopped? ”
Yu Xianmin's in-depth and concise words revealed the true use of silver for the emperor and Antai, which is different from the dirty ideas of other officials to collect wealth for themselves, but takes into account the suffering of the people and the people's livelihood. It can be seen from this that Yu Xianmin is an honest official, and it is no wonder that he is supported by the people in the local area, and everyone calls him a good official who is dedicated to the people. It's no wonder that he was rated by Mr. Liu as a man who can be a man and an official!
If you donate the money, you can earn more, but you can't just waste it like that! Since childhood, the old man has been taught to earn the maximum profit, and you always have to get some reward for this effort, right? Since the face is not very affordable, there are practical things that need the emperor's reply.
"The emperor really responded to the sentence 'take it from the people, use it for the people!' As soon as he said it, the people have benefited from it, and his nephew also has the idea of seeking a little benefit, but I don't know if the emperor can grant it after paying so much. ”
It's really a businessman's budget-conscious face, and the temperament of "no profit can not afford three earlier" is vividly embodied! Yu Xianmin thought secretly, couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart, what a master who refuses to suffer.
"Tell me, what benefits do you want to get from the emperor?" Yu Xianmin said, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
Stationed in foreign countries, without the strong support of Da'antai's family, it is estimated that it is difficult to move an inch. Perhaps through this initiative to donate silver, the emperor may be extra gracious. Zuo Chen, who thought about it again, said: "My nephew wants to ...... and go to a foreign land to do business, uncle, do you think there is hope?" ”
"Resident in a foreign land!?" Yu Xianmin's frozen smiling face opened his mouth wide in astonishment, it was indescribable! It's like a clay figure with the wrong expression, the expression is funny but vivid.
What kind of child is this? What others have not tried, they are always eager to implement it. No wonder his father-in-law wants to confine him at home, with this whimsical idea, it is difficult not to cause some trouble. Yu Xianmin sneered, raised his hand and touched his stiff face, secretly thinking in his heart, could it be that he is really old? No longer have the momentum to move forward and be invincible?
So I was tired of the two of you coming and going, poked Zuo Chen with his hand, and asked quietly: "Is the glass mirror the same as the bronze mirror?" ”
Zuo Chen, who was engrossed in his uncle's expression, was startled, "Oh, almost! Clearer and lighter than a bronze mirror. ”
"Where? It's so powerful, I want to see it. So I couldn't believe it, and I had to see what it was.
"There is still one side in the bedroom, I called the little maid to fetch it for you......"
"No, you don't! You two talk, I'll pick it up myself. So saying, he got up and went out of the house without looking back.
This is also outrageous, even if it is a real relative, it can't do its own thing, and it's still my bedroom, so my uncle's tutor won't be so unbearable! Where is there still the appearance of everyone's ladies, no wonder Tao Li Nianhua is still waiting for the word boudoir! Zuo Chen muttered in his heart, and secretly glanced at the seat, looking at each other, Yu Xianmin couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
"Hey! …… In the past few years, there has been some disadvantage, and it is ...... Some indulge her. ”
Seeing that he didn't want to elaborate, Zuo Chen was naturally embarrassed to explore, and smiled awkwardly, "Uncle, based on your inference, what kind of reply will the emperor have?" ”
“…… Traveling merchants usually secretly trade across the border, after all, they are earning money from foreigners, and the local people also turn a blind eye and let them do whatever they want. The traveling merchants also maintained a tacit understanding with the local officials, and they were absolutely unwilling to trade in short supply and large quantities, and the benefits from this were not very good. Your goods and materials are different, just one transaction has more than 800,000 taels of silver, and it will be an immeasurable accumulation of wealth over the years......" As he spoke, Yu Xianmin held his forehead and fell into deep thought again.
Yu Xianmin's words, Zuo Chen was also shocked, this is really not a good sign! Yesterday, immersed in the joy of huge gains, he actually neglected the disadvantages of revealing his family's wealth, such a large amount for a long time, being remembered ......, I couldn't help but shudder, no wonder my uncle heard more than 800,000 taels of silver, his expression was solemn and worried!
"It's just such a deal every year, and you have to be stationed in a foreign land to garrison a merchant ......, your father has military power in his hands, and he is in charge of the peace of the party, you ...... No matter how well you manage and loot a huge amount of wealth, what can you do to make the emperor sit back and relax? ”
Yu Xianmin's face was solemn, and he said slowly, in fact, his heart was already stormy and could not be calm, I don't know before Zuo Chen's plan, more than 800,000 taels of silver are also living like that, and the donation is also held by high-ranking officials, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are absolutely worry-free. Stationed in foreign countries, it will fundamentally contradict the imperial rule, combined with the special family background, it is inevitable to be suspicious by the emperor, and a careless will inevitably harm the family!
Is it really as the father-in-law said, this son's heart is higher than the sky and wants to do something? Yu Xianmin thought secretly, quietly waiting for Zuo Chen's reply.
Zuo Chen was thinking, thanks to his uncle's reminder, if by chance, he really didn't know how much hostility would be caused by rashly mentioning it to the emperor, thinking that Hou Jianbin must have reported the details of the transaction to the emperor, and couldn't help but secretly luck in his heart, fortunately, he didn't announce the matter of stationing in foreign countries that day, otherwise he really lost the opportunity, wouldn't it make the emperor suspicious!
"Uncle, it seems that in this way, I have to slowly look at the situation. Although the nephew said that the official worship of the Ministry of Labor, in fact, he is only an empty name and has no actual deeds, and it is naturally rare to see the saint without an early dynasty, and this donation of silver will be rewarding you. Zuo Chen, who had been pondering for a long time, said.
Slowly breathing a sigh of relief, Yu Xianmin temporarily relaxed, "It's best to be able to figure out the stakes, but you still need to be personally involved in donating silver on behalf of you, so it seems that it is understandable to do it on behalf of you, but there is an essential difference for the emperor, and a person's loyalty is entangled in others or forces, and the weight in the emperor's heart is naturally different." After tomorrow morning, the emperor will still summon me, and when the time is ripe, I will figure out a way. ”
I am very impressed by the maturity and far-reaching thinking of my uncle, in this regard, Zuo Chen has a lot of feelings, he is different from the old man's incompatibility, but guides step by step, and never refutes Zuo Chen's thoughts, but he is persuaded according to normal ideas with reasonable evidence. If the old man in Fengxiang was like this at the beginning, why did he run away from home and now feel like he has no relatives?
"Listen to my uncle's arrangement!"
At this time, Zuo Chen was truly respectful from the bottom of his heart. As my uncle's gaze looked behind him, my cousin, who was dressed in a fiery red face, blushed shyly and hugged the glass mirror tightly in her arms.
"Brother, this glass mirror is mine." So, the unquestionable tone seems to be exactly what it should be.
"Yes, it's too much! How can such a rare thing be so casual? Yu Xianmin was finally a little overwhelmed, and said in a deep voice with a displeased face.
"It's not casual, since my little brother has been willing to give me things, don't you remember?" So, ignoring his father's displeasure, he looked at Zuo Chen and asked, "Rare things?" Is it valuable? ”
Zuo Chen was full of slander in his heart, didn't he just give you an abalone when he was a child? This can also be remembered, but it is yours! It is estimated that my uncle is also at a loss now. He smiled wryly and said, "Is it precious or not, can it still match the affection of our sister and brother?" It's rare that you like it, so it's a gift for you. ”
"How's that going to work? It's not worth a few pieces of silver, isn't it cheaper for you, you make so much silver, you have to spend a lot of money to buy me a decent gift! Tell me, how much silver is this glass mirror worth? ”
You stupid girl! If you say that, who would say that this mirror is worthless? Zuo Chen wanted to show off, but he didn't expect Xianmin to speak.
"The mirror that your cousin dedicated to the emperor is only one-third of this one, and the emperor said it was priceless! Do you say it's valuable or not? ”
"Ahh ......" So, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he hugged the mirror even tighter.
