In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Shuncheng looked at the large box placed in the middle of the flower hall of Ruyi Hall, which was full of jewelry, bits and pieces of silver, and other things. From small velvet flowers that are only worth a few cents, to delicate emerald hairpins that can be worth thousands of taels of silver, there is everything.

Yu said: "Does Xiangye still want to take this big box to the court?" ”

"Donating jewelry to the victims, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion can't be the first."

Even if it is the female dependent of the right prime minister's mansion, it can't steal the limelight, and it is easy to attract right and wrong if the limelight is too strong.

Yu bent down and picked up a beautiful bead hairpin, which was one of the jewelry that Su Yan brought yesterday. "Yan'er and the third daughter-in-law are thinking about the victims and seem to have donated all their belongings."

Su Yan brought all the valuable things in her house. Jiang Shun said: "After Yan'er recovered from her illness, she was really sensible, and I felt very comforted. It's a pity that Yan'er is a daughter's family, otherwise she would have been the most promising child in my Jiang family. There is no regret in his words, although he has five sons, but seeing the most distressed daughter so pitiful, there is still a faint regret.

"It's also a boast, this girl is too heartless, just donate a few things to show her heart, and she actually donated all her ancient brains."

How can there be such a donation, in the end, it is a child, and she actually donated it all, but I am afraid that she did not leave a few pieces of jewelry, and the fragments of silver were donated by her.

Jiang Shuncheng bent his eyebrows and said with a smile: "In your heart, Yan'er is a heartless person?" Although she is young, she is afraid of having her own ideas. In a few moments, you will have them divided into one piece, and then send them to the pawn shop, and give as much money as you can, and then ask the chief butler to bring them to me. In the past few days, the emperor is worried about disaster relief. ”

On this day, Jiang Shuncheng was left by the emperor to discuss matters, and he kept lunch in the Yangxing Palace, and found that the meal had been changed to eight dishes and one soup, and the emperor was even more worried. In recent years, the treasury has been empty, and there is really no money to come up with. Fortunately, Jiang Shuncheng donated 500,000 taels of silver, which allowed the disaster relief officials to have the first batch of silver taels.

As soon as Jiang Shuncheng donated silver yesterday, and immediately after this morning, officials donated silver one after another, ranging from 50,000 taels to hundreds of taels. The ministers of the former dynasty were busy donating silver, and the concubines in the palace, led by the imperial concubine, were not idle, and they also donated their jewelry and savings.

was having dinner, and suddenly the chief manager said: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine asks to see." ”

The emperor got another 370,000 taels of silver today, and he was still in a bad mood. The military department is urging the silver taels again, and the soldiers in the border cities have not been paid for three months, so they are only afraid that the army will be in turmoil.

The imperial concubine walked into the hall with Concubine De and Concubine Xian and saluted. The Emperor's eyes fell on the eunuchs who followed behind them, four of whom carried a large box.

"Your Majesty, the concubines and concubines, concubines and concubines also want to do their best for the victims, donate some jewelry, and ask the emperor to transfer it to the victims."

Although it is a drop in the bucket, they have a heart.

The emperor was full of smiles, the concubine cared about the people, the ministers cared about the people, and there was something that could not be solved: "The concubine has a heart." ”

"The concubines are stupid and can't help the emperor, so they can only do their best."

"I love the concubine and is virtuous, and I am very comforted."

The emperor looked at the glorious and luxurious imperial concubine, the peerless concubine of pearl and jade, and the virtuous concubine who was like a quiet and beautiful orchid, and his heart warmed. But seeing that Concubine De and the chief manager exchanged a look, the chief manager seemed to have doubts, but saw that Concubine De looked helpless.

Jiang Shuncheng bowed his head and bent down, and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." A few mothers care about the people, which is the blessing of my dynasty. With the son of heaven and the virtuous princess, my dynasty will surely prosper the country. ”

The emperor said, "I am having lunch, you can eat with me." ”

Gong E and the eunuch moved the brocade, the imperial concubine, the concubine De, and the virtuous concubine sat down in turn, and some eunuchs added dishes and chopsticks.

Jiang Shuncheng stood on one side humbly, and the emperor said, "Jiang Aiqing, you sit down." I heard someone say this morning that you mortgaged the ancestral house and fields in your hometown, and several shops and granges in the imperial city to Qian Zhuang, so that you could scrape together 500,000 taels of silver? ”

"Back to the emperor, it's true."

The emperor sighed lightly, and an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes: Jiang Shuncheng has been a few years old, and he has to be heavy. How can you mortgage your ancestral house or land because of this mere 500,000 taels of silver? Don't...... Where did he show his flaws, and this fox saw it.

In this way, it will not be easy for him to deal with Jiang Shuncheng in the future.

The will of the people is the will of heaven. Jiang Shuncheng's move has no intention of winning the hearts of the people for him.

If someone settles the money for him, why wouldn't he do it? However, Jiang Shuncheng's move did give him a problem.

The emperor said: "Recently, the military department has asked for silver, and Yudi has also asked for silver in the event of a natural disaster, and the urgent need has finally been solved." The three concubines and Jiang Aiqing are all heroes who have helped me relieve my worries. Pick up the dishes and chopsticks and eat! ”

The concubines rarely ate with the emperor, and now they sit together and are extremely restrained. Jiang Shuncheng moved his chopsticks even less, everyone only ate half full, and when they saw that the emperor put down the dishes and chopsticks, they all stopped eating.

The three imperial concubines said goodbye and left, and the emperor talked to Jiang Shuncheng about Xiqi's repeated offenses against the people in the border cities, but he was still worried about the silver. Jiang Shuncheng's opening of a porridge shed and donating silver money has long exceeded the emperor's expectations.

What went wrong, Jiang Shuncheng actually went against the norm and wanted to take out his silver. In the past, but he received the money.

Jiang Shuncheng felt that the emperor's eyes were very strange today, and even he couldn't guess what it was. Giving out the silver himself, the emperor was unexpected, and he looked a little disappointed, as a courtier to relieve the king's worries, shouldn't the emperor be pleased, how could he feel disappointed.

Could it be that he took out too little silver?

What exactly does the emperor mean?

With a depressed and uneasy heart, Jiang Shuncheng returned to the right minister's mansion, took a shower in the clean room, changed into a clean satin robe, and went to the study.

was drinking tea when he heard Su Yan's pleasant voice: "Daddy, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Su Yan was wearing a pink gauze skirt, which was covered with a belly pocket embroidered with peach begonia butterfly flowers, and a pair of plain white shirts underneath.

"You're here to play chess for your father?"

Su Yan nodded, the big girl in the study, Zi Shao, prepared to play the chessboard, and the father and daughter sat opposite each other, but after only a dozen sons, Jiang Shuncheng unexpectedly found that Su Yan's chess skills had improved greatly.

"Daddy, my daughter accompanied her mother to the temple on the fifteenth day to worship incense. When I was playing at Tenryuji Temple, I heard a story told by the monks in the temple. ”

She really didn't want to hide it, she just wanted to tell Jiang Shuncheng that it was time to leave a way back for the Jiang family.

Now, it's still too late.

It is said that there is a wealthy businessman who is very good at business and has earned a lot of wealth for his children and grandchildren. When it came time for his son, he could no longer earn more gold and silver, and all he wanted to do was to keep his father's huge family business. This lord has a big butler, who is good at accumulating wealth and good at management, but this big housekeeper has a great problem: filling his own pockets. The great steward used his power to earn a great fortune for himself. ”
