One Hundred and Five: Quarrels
The emperor saw that Wen Wan was packing up the folds, and said with a smile: "A batch of good materials has been paid tribute below." You go to Changchun Palace and pick some of your favorites. β
Although Wen Wan felt that it was a waste in her heart.
As soon as Wen Wan entered the Changchun Palace, Concubine De warmly held her hand, and bridged her hand into the inner palace, "Niangniang, the county lord is here." β
Wen Wan wanted to break away several times, looking at the kindness in Concubine De's eyes, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes, maybe it was this woman's hands and feet.
Concubine De said lovingly and guiltily, "These two months, it's really hard for you." In order to take care of the emperor, it is our duty to make you thin and your little face sunken, β but you are burdened. β
Wen Wan shook her head: "The county lord said that it is also appropriate to be able to do filial piety for the emperor, no matter how hard and tired it is." The county lord felt that it was a very happy thing, and he didn't feel tired. β
"Come, this is Miaoyu, the powerful big girl by my side. If Wen Wan doesn't dislike it, she should be able to share some of it for you. Take care of the emperor in the future, and you don't need to be so tired. Concubine De said gently.
Wen Wan looked at that Miaoyu, honestly, and shook her head: "No need, the county lord said, thank you for your kindness to her." There are enough palace maids in Yongning Palace, and if you add more, the rules will be broken. β
Concubine De frowned, looked at Wen Wan, and looked embarrassed, "Since this is the case, then add a few housekeepers." In your Yongning Palace, there is no father-in-law β in charge, how can a prince be the owner of an imperial county. β
Wen Wan waved her hand. Xia Yao chuckled beside her: "Niangniang, the emperor also said this, but the county lord said." She was impatient to hear her father-in-law's voice. She said that when she heard the voice, she felt uncomfortable. I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't eat. β
Concubine De looked at Wen Wan with a non-negotiable look, very helpless. Since Wen Wan said that she didn't like sharp voices, then she couldn't send two dumb fathers-in-law over, and the emperor knew that if he didn't scold her, he was cold.
After saying a few words, Wen Wan said that he had something to do, so he said goodbye first.
Concubine De looked at the back of Wen Wan's departure, "You say." Lord Wenwan, what do you think again? In such a situation, can the heart of Β°C be as good as water? β
The palace maid next to her Rouge said, "Niangniang, the county lord is transparent, and he must have other plans in his heart." If we want to win over the county lord, it is impossible. β
Concubine De nodded: "I naturally know this." It's just that I want to get in touch with it more and see what she's up to. β
Inside the Ham Phuoc Palace. Hua Qiong walked in from the outside, silently silent. Concubine Xian put down the chess pieces and said, "Is there something Wen Wan has done?" β
Hua Qiong shook her head and said, "No, it's just that today the county lord went to Concubine De of Changchun Palace." After staying there for a while, I returned to Yongning Palace. Everything else is business as usual, nothing has changed. β
Mama Guo couldn't figure it out, "Lord Wenwan, what do you want?" Why, it took so long to be in the palace. There's no movement! β
Carefree also nodded, "It's really strange to say." He did not make friends with concubines, nor did he associate with any wife. The gentle county lord has no desire and no desire. β
Concubine Xian chuckled and said, "What's so hard to understand about this. She really wants to tell everyone that she doesn't get involved in anything, but simply does her filial piety outside the emperor. β
Mama Guo said she didn't understand, "This is impossible? Who doesn't know that she is the one who pays attention. β
Concubine Xian smiled very floatingly, "I know." As long as the emperor believes that she is innocent and kind, it is enough to be benevolent and filial. What do others think of it, and what does it matter? Wen Wan is cautious in the palace, tremblingΒ± ruthless in the world, every step of the way, grabbing your throat at the opportunity, making you breathless. β
Mama Guo said softly, "Niangniang, are you too much of the county lord's evaluation." β
Concubine Xian shook her head, "But." It's also low. β
Mama Guo said, "Niangniang, what should I do." β
Concubine Xian looked at the place of Yongning Palace, "Look at it firstβ€ there is a solution." She is not in a hurry, and we cannot be in a hurry. β
Xia Yao said beside Wen Wan, "County Lord." The governor of Guangzhou has been arrested for embezzlement and bribery. β
Wen Wan glanced at Xia Yao strangely, what did the governor of Guangzhou have to do with corruption and bribery. Keep looking down at the book.
The emperor opened his eyes comfortably and announced the book of the household that he had asked to see outside.
"Gentle, my shoulders are still a little sore, pinch them again." The emperor looked at Wen Wan and wanted to leave, and said something unexpectedly.
A few gentle strokes moved. Saying that they are going to talk about important things, and it is not good to listen to them on the side.
"It's okay, and it's not a secret thing. Help me hang my shoulders. Wen Wan listened to this, and was very reluctant.
"The emperor is auspicious,......" Lord Cao saluted and stood there. When he saw that there was one more person in the room, he lowered his head and pretended not to see it. I've been used to it for a long time anyway.
"Say, all those things are in storage?" The emperor's eyes were half-squinted.
"The estimated value of the six boxes of gold, silver and jewelry is about 300,000 taels, and the gold is 100,000 taels, all of which have been registered in the book, and they have been listed in detail on the sub, please ask the emperor to take a look." Cao Song held a fold above his head, and Gonggong Wen stepped forward to take it and handed it to the emperor.
The Emperor took the fold, swept it slightly, placed it on the couchβ tapped his fingers on the table. When he opened his eyes again, he flashed anger, "I want to do it, all adult men will be executed on the spot, and all others will be sent to the border." Those who have something to do with it will be dealt with in the same way. β
Wen Wan's hands trembled, and they all slashed. In a word, hundreds of heads fell to the ground.
"You have to practice your guts. It's been so long, and I still haven't grown at all. The emperor said casually, there is a slight hatred of iron and steel β, a girl, how to hone in the end, in order to collapse Mount Tai in front of him without changing his face.
Wen Wan restrained her expression, what does it mean to practice but don't you hear the dead person. That's not insensitivity.
A strange look flashed in Cao Yin's eyes. A county lord needs to experience what to do. The emperor's attitude towards gentleness and patience surprised him. But the emperor's words did not have a place for him to doubt. With a stomach full of doubts, I went out.
On this day, in the Yanghe Palace, the six Shangshu adults were neat. Wen Wan saw that the emperor didn't speak again, this kind of situation, honest cat is serious.
"Now that winter is approaching, the soldiers at the border pass urgently need money for cold-proof materials β, and we must first meet our military headquarters." The newly appointed secretary of the military department shouted at the top of his voice.
Lord Cao, the head of the household, knew that this must be another noisy meal as soon as the silver was put into the warehouse. At the moment, he said good-naturedly, "There is not enough money." β
"What's so close to your military department, isn't a sum of money already coming to you? Your Majesty, this time you must give us the Ministry of Industry first. Those water conservancy projects must be rebuilt. It's been so long, and we can't afford to delay any longer. Otherwise, once the Yellow River is flooded, hundreds of thousands of fertile fields below will not hesitate to be millions old. Also, now potatoes and sweet potatoes should also be promoted on a large scale. It also requires a lot of money. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu also shouted loudly.
The military department continued to shout at the top of his voice: "Liukou, the soldiers in front are fighting hard day and night. Now it's winter again. All military supplies such as cotton wool coats are urgent, otherwise, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers and cause a crisis to the imperial court! β
"The money is not enough......" Cao Shangshu said this sentence still good-natured. Anyway, if you quarrel with you, that's all the money. It is impossible to satisfy all of them. From beginning to end, Hubu Shangshu just said this sentence, anyway, no matter which of you asks him for money, he always says that the money is not enough. Let you change a thousand moves, and he will solve it in one sentence.
The Jinluan Treasure Hall is as noisy as a vegetable market.
Wen Wan also knew that the imperial court had never had any money. But I didn't know that it was so difficult. Wen Wan looked at the emperor. Thinking that the emperor's grandfather is so diligent, but the country still has so many problems. I heard that it was dozens of times more difficult than this before, and Wen Wan admired the emperor's grandfather very much. If you want to change her, it's already time to slip away. Don't do such laborious and sinful work.
The Emperor put down the recital. Looking up, Wen Wan, who was listening to everyone's noise with his ears sideways wholeheartedly, asked very casually, "Wen Wan, do you think it is important to meet the military supplies of the soldiers first, or to build a dam to relieve the people who have no food?" β
Wen Wan shuddered and almost rolled off the couch. Hurriedly got up from the couch, ready to put on his shoes and kneel on the ground. The emperor grabbed her back with one hand, "Just ask casually, if you want to know, just say." It's not a big deal. I was chatting with my grandfather on weekdays. β
Wen Wan was so frightened that her legs didn't soften, where did she talk about political affairs on weekdays. What kind of calculation is the emperor's grandfather!
Not to mention that Wen Wan was scared a lot. Even a few Shangshu lords were also stunned by such a strange behavior of the emperor. What does the emperor mean by thisβ meaning? Could it be that the emperor vented his dissatisfaction with them.
The emperor looked at Wen Wan and stayed where he was, and said with a smile, "Grandpa just asked what you mean, you are so good at business." You treat them like business. What will you do. β
Wen Wan trembled for a long time, and put pen to paper: "Military salary is the key, and it cannot be missing." The soldiers defend their homes and defend the country, protect us in front and shed blood and tears, and our peace depends on them, and no one can lose them. The dam must also be repaired, and the victims must be properly disposed of. β
The emperor couldn't help but smile when he saw it, "You have written so much, which means that you have not written anything." Think of a way for my grandfather to save money and get things done. I didn't come up with it, my grandfather just waited for you to figure it out. β
Wen Wan thought for a long time, "Organize those who need help and have the ability to work, and let them build embankments." Not only can they provide them with three meals, but they can also be given wages and silver every month to feed their families. It should be a savings. β
Tobe Shangshu opened his mouth, this method really saves money. Just wanted to speak, but was stopped by a sharp look from the emperor. This gentle method is very tricky.
The emperor smiled and said, "Well, very good way. What about military pay? There are 200,000 troops at the border and nearly 100,000 troops on the coast, and the annual military salary cannot be supplied by the imperial court. Do you have any good ways to reduce military spending? Now the treasury is empty, and there is simply no way to pay for such huge military spending. What a good way to be gentle. β
Wen Wan naturally knew that there was another way to apply the modern compulsory military system. However, how could Wen Wan say it. The method just now was thought of in line with the idea of doing business economically, and it is understandable. Moreover, the construction of the dam and the rescue are two places, and they cannot be implemented at all. But now when it comes to military power, this thing, don't touch. No matter which dynasty, military power, that is absolutely what everyone wants. It is also the most untouchable. Wen Wan shook her head very dryly, indicating that she didn't know.
The emperor began to look at Wen Wan's eyes rolling around in the bones, and naturally knew that she had already had an idea. At the beginning, the one who used the people to provide disaster relief was good, but then he was sloppy, "When I think about it, I say, this is not a big deal." Go ahead. β
Wen Wan drove the ducks to the shelves, "As for the military salary." Well, I saw that the travelogues said that the Japanese and the Manchus always came to rob us of our food and money. Or, let our soldiers also rob it, and when the time comes, the property that will be snatched back will be divided into proportions. Five-five or six-four points, part of which goes to the soldiers, and part of which goes to the imperial court. I don't know if this will solve a lot of problems. "Gentleness, that's typical bandit logic.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu knew what Wen Wan meant. Shocked, "Your Majesty, this must not be." We are the kingdom of heaven, the state of etiquette, how can we do such a thing? β
Wen Wan glanced at Lord Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and was very disdainful. Xia Yao held back a smile and said, "Lord Song, the county lord said, since you are so righteous. Then you go and think about how to solve the hundreds of thousands of military salaries! It also saves the emperor from embarrassment. The county lord said that she had read a travelogue in which a story was written, and the story had no ending. The ending is up to everyone. I don't know if the emperor and a few adults would be interested in hearing this story. β
The emperor smiled and said, "Speak gently, let grandpa listen." β
Wen Wan smiled and told the story: "A robber led a group of his men to rob a large family in the middle of the night, this large family is a scholarly family, and they are all unarmed people. Meet this group of robbers. If nothing else, it must be a ruined family. It is also God who blesses the second son of the head of the family who happens to like martial arts, and the family does not allow it, and finally secretly leaves home to learn art. This person has good martial arts, and he happened to go home on this day. But he is weak alone, and he can't save so many people. But the man was not afraid of death, and he said to the bandit leader, 'I can't beat you, but I can escape.' If you just want money. I will give you money. But if you want to rush into the yard, you will move my family. I will be in the future. I will surely destroy you with my brother. β
The emperor smiled happily: "What about later? β
Xia Yao looked at Wen Wan very suspiciously, the story from there "Later." Then the robber took the money and left. The son of the head of the family asked his family to go to a relative's house that night to avoid trouble. He was going to go to his fellow disciples and destroy the bandits. His father said that if it was not wiped out, it would be a disaster to destroy the clan in the future. β
The son said, "These people all want money and don't want their lives." Now he took the money and let it go, but our family has become his lamb to the slaughter. If you don't take advantage of this now, it will be endless trouble when the time comes. β
Speaking of which, Ting. Xia Yao chuckled and said, "As for what the hell, it's not in the book." How to act depends on the individual's choice. β
A few Lord Shangshu, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are silent. The county lord didn't seem to say anything, but he seemed to have said everything.
There was silence in the Sanatorium and the Temple. Wen Wan curled her lips and said to the emperor that she had to go back to cooking. Otherwise, the meal will have to be delayed.
The Emperor nodded and said, "Go!" β
Wen Wanfei went out. The emperor looked at Wen Wan's back, just now Wen Wan was talking about the excessive expenditure of military salaries. The court didn't have that much money, and her hands were obviously stagnant. The emperor was sure that the kid actually had a good idea in his heart, but he didn't say it. It's just that it's easy to say and hard to do.
"It's not a shame, you first write me a detailed excerpt of everything you want to use, and then decide where to focus on it first." The emperor said coldly, and several important ministers present all blushed and immediately went out.
The next day, there was an impeachment of the Imperial Doctor. was scolded by the emperor. He just casually asked Wen Wan a way to save money and what kind of politics he participated in. The emperor directly asked the imperial history of the upper fold to call back to hug the child.
The emperor's attitude is obvious, and he keeps my mouth shut about it. I don't have you to interject. The people below are all from the wind, the emperor has such a tough attitude, who dares to touch this bad head.
Wen Wan was holding a Gu porridge, and before she entered the Yanghe Palace, she heard the emperor lose his temper insideβ The emperor was very short-tempered, he got angry at every turn, and he trained people when he caught them. Wen Wan guessed that it was because of the change of seasons.
The person who stood in front of the emperor and let the emperor reprimand him loudly. Wen Wan didn't seem to see Zhu Xun walking past Zhu with a smile on her face, came to the emperor, and took the porridge out of the tray. The porridge is lukewarm and can be drunk when you bring it in. A few gentle strokes mean to drink porridge first, and then deal with government affairs after drinking porridge.
Wen Wan made mung bean lily porridge, which has the effect of dissipating fire, removing heat and cooling. After the emperor finished drinking, Wen Wan didn't feel much and went out with a tray. It's just that when I go out, I look at the account.
Because of the emperor's gentle play, he was not as full of gunpowder as he had just now.
The emperor had a bad temper, and the courtiers were unlucky. As soon as the emperor was not satisfied, he opened his mouth to reprimand people. Wen Wan could hear it every day or two.
On this day, Wen Wan went in with mung bean porridge. I saw that the emperor was reprimanding King Zhao to the point of disgrace. Wen Wan also went in with a smile, put down the mung bean porridge, and let the emperor drink it.
Wen Wan now enforces a dietary policy of multiple meals to the Emperor. Three meals can not be missing, morning and young every day is a variety of barley porridge, noon and evening with rice other than other food, are mainly porridge, the doctor said that this is very suitable for health. Wen Wan has always continued this method.
Wen Wan waited for the emperor to finish using it, and then went out with porridge. The emperor's anger is indeed a lot smaller.
King Zhao's eyes flashed ruthlessly, this dead girl is really blessed. The emperor swept it casually, and King Zhao was annoyed. As soon as he hit that girl, he lost control of his emotions.
"County Lord, the prince is here." Xia Ying smiled.
As soon as Wen Wan looked at his expression, she knew that it was Uncle Zhu who was coming. I went out to greet it. Wen Wan has been in the palace for almost three months, and it is the first time she has been to Yongning Palace. Looking at the palatial palace, and then looking at the gentle gentleness that is not shocking, it is not comforting.
When I arrived at the study, I took the chess, Xia Yao waited for someone to play a game of chess on the side, and asked Wen Wan to take care of her body and went out of the palace.
Later, when Zhu had free time, the uncle and nephew also played a game of chess, but they never talked about political affairs. Not a word was spoken. (To be continued.) , ((() Vote for recommendation, monthly pass,,γ
