061 The one who slaughters is the prime minister
Before he reached the East Palace, he saw Empress Liu looking panicked, and ran over with small steps all the way.
What happened in the harem? Empress Liu has always been steady, and there is no major event that will not run here.
Empress Liu knelt down towards Huizong and wiped away her tears: "The official family, the concubine thinks that the official family is not in good health, let the prince try to be a warm pavilion, violate the ban, punish me if you want to punish it, it has nothing to do with the prince." ”
Hearing this, Huizong finally put his mind at ease.
Huizong was obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, lingering in fireworks and willow alleys, and didn't want to take care of too many political affairs, let alone the cumbersome things in the harem.
There are too many political affairs, Huizong can throw it to Cai Jing and Tong Guan, and sign and approve major matters.
And the harem is unstable, and Huizong has to deal with it personally, which is too distracting.
Huizong personally helped Empress Liu up: "The queen has a heart, the prince did not use silver to make a warm pavilion, go to the East Palace to see how the effect of the new warm pavilion is." ”
It's okay? Only then did Empress Liu notice Zhao Huan and Zong Shu, and the two of them looked relaxed, not like they were going to be punished.
Father-in-law Wei and Yingluo, who came over, also understood that as long as it was not made of silver, the warm pavilion could be built.
The crown prince and Zong Shu led the way, and Huizong poured into the East Palace with a group of ministers.
Huizong and Empress Liu entered the prince's study and bedroom, and they were immediately surrounded by warmth.
It's a very even warmth, unlike in the past, when a charcoal brazier was placed in the house, the chest was warm and the back was cold.
The prince immediately explained that there were porcelain pipes buried under the wooden floor, and that there was hot water circulating in the porcelain pipes, and the heat was from the bottom up, making the room warm like spring.
Huizong and Empress Liu had personally experienced the Silver Warm Pavilion, and they couldn't stay in it for a long time because the permeability was very poor.
Compared with this new-style warm pavilion made by Zong Shu, the silver warm pavilion is too far behind!
At a glance on the spot, Huizong immediately understood that the materials used in the new warm pavilion were not special, and the cost was definitely not high.
In the future, from the palace to ordinary families in the capital, this kind of warm pavilion can be used.
The heating problem that has been plaguing Huizong has been perfectly solved.
Cai Jing also enjoyed the silver warm pavilion, and then looked at the warm pavilion made by the prince, and felt that both comfort and practicality were not the same.
Touching the old cold legs that hurt as soon as it was cloudy, Cai Jing immediately wanted to install one for his home, no, install several, the study, bedroom, including the living room, were all transformed into a warm pavilion!
This warm pavilion is obviously very cheap, why did the boy of the Zong family just say that the warm pavilion he built was worth ten thousand taels of silver?
"This warm pavilion is also ingenious, to say that it is worth ten thousand taels of silver, it is inevitably too greedy." Cai Jing commented.
Cai Jing's words reminded Huizong, just now Zong Shu said that this warm pavilion is worth ten thousand taels of silver, if it is charged at this price, who can afford it?
"Zong Shu, the pricing of the warm pavilion should be reasonable, not too much." Huizong said.
"Your Majesty, the grass people are willing to build 10 warm pavilions for the palace, and they will not take a penny. Other warm pavilions, private customization, echelon pricing. A first-class official, 10,000 taels of silver. The lower the official position, the lower the selling price. Like Lord Cai to build a warm pavilion, one room, 10,000 taels of silver. Zong Shu said.
"Why is it priced like this? How can you watch people cook? Tong Guan asked strangely.
"For example, when Lord Cai builds a warm pavilion, of course, he has to use good porcelain clay and kaolin, use the best mineral materials, and use ginseng juice as an introduction to the sealant to extend the service life. In addition, I will personally supervise the production. In this way, it is worth 10,000 taels, and it is also worth the price. ”
"Ten thousand taels of silver, but my Cai family," Cai Jing was about to say that he couldn't afford the price, but immediately stopped.
After all, last time he spent 10,000 taels of silver to build a warm pavilion. Now that he says that his Cai family can't afford 10,000 taels of silver, the ghost believes it!
"Your Majesty, do business fairly and openly, you and I are willing. Lord Cai is unwilling to pay this price, so he can only find another home. Zong Shu was full of confidence when he said this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to build a warm pavilion, you can sign up now, regardless of the size of our official position, we divide the time order. If you sign up late, you can only queue up. By the way, the registration office is located in the East Palace. ”
When Empress Liu saw it, Zong Shu really went up. The registration office is located in the East Palace, which means that the business of the Warm Pavilion will also cooperate with the East Palace.
Cai Jing was thinking, ten thousand taels of silver, it's nothing, and there will naturally be filial piety when the time comes.
"Your Majesty, to create a warm pavilion, we are ready to take real-name registration and on-site construction. In order to prevent a very small number of adults, the heart of villains, and take advantage of loopholes. ”
Cai Jing's nose is almost crooked, is this kid deliberately targeting the Cai family?
"Your Majesty, in fact, I can see that Cai Xianggong is benevolent and charitable, especially the establishment of a nursing home, the placement of widows and loneliness, and the establishment of Anjifang, free admission and treatment of poor people who have no money to see a doctor. In the next special admiration. ”
Zong Shu praised Cai Jing's exploits. After Cai Jing became the prime minister, in order to consolidate his position and expand his official reputation, he did these two things, and everyone from the common people to the scholars praised them.
In Zong Shu's view, Cai Jing is indeed the initiator of the ancient public welfare system. But when you dig deeper, it's also a fake public benefit.
ran a nursing home and an accomplishment house, Cai Jing personally did not pay a penny, and still spent it from the treasury.
Cai Jing touched his beard, finally someone remembered what he did.
"However, I have heard that the conditions of the nursing home and Anjifang are not as good as in the past, mainly because of the lack of funds. Therefore, Your Majesty, you can adopt the method of donation. ”
"Whoever donates more money, we will make a warm pavilion for whoever they donate. Whoever doesn't donate, no matter how much money he gives, we won't take the job. ”
Zong Shu made such a request, which made the ministers who came with him feel that this kid was born as a businessman, how could he think of donating money to the nursing home and Anjifang?
Shouldn't this be something that the imperial court considers? It's your turn to worry about your little businessman's son?
Looking at Huizong smiling frequently, many ministers suddenly realized: This is Huizong's instruction, otherwise how could Zong Shu think of this?
"Your Majesty, I have already built a warm pavilion for the crown prince, and I will build it for you and the queen soon. So, when it comes to donations, do you and the prince also have to take the lead? ”
Zong Shu stretched out a finger: "Your Majesty, how about you and the Empress donating 10,000 taels, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince donating 5,000 taels?" ”
Huizong immediately agreed: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." Living in the temple is high, you must worry about the distance of the rivers and lakes. It is a matter of course to help the poor. I donated this money. ”
The father and the emperor agreed, and the crown prince Zhao Huan immediately expressed his position.
Zhao Huan read a layer of meaning from Zong Shu's eyes: Zong Shu will solve the matter of money.
"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, love the people, can show the sun and the moon." Zong Shu immediately turned to Cai Jing: "Lord Cai, Your Majesty and the crown prince have both donated, don't you express it?" ”
Cai Jing was forced into a corner by Zong Shu this time, and there was no way to retreat.
The establishment of the nursing home and Anjifang was single-handedly operated by him, and he was also proud of it. Once he gained official reputation, Cai Jing didn't care much.
Now Zi Zongshu suddenly mentioned this matter, and the emperor and the crown prince both donated, how can he, who is the prime minister, not express it?
It's just that this is to dig out your own family's silver, and it hurts!
Cai Jing reported five thousand taels, and he wanted to maintain a horizontal line with the prince.
Zong Shu smiled disdainfully: "Lord Cai, what about your little silver, call it Huazi?" Why do you have to set an example for hundreds of officials, you can't donate 30,000 taels of silver? ”
The meat on Cai Jing's face twitched, Zong Shu, you are slaughtering!
There was no way, the emperor and other ministers watched, and Cai Jing reported 30,000 taels of silver.
A few years ago, I really shouldn't have spent 10,000 taels of silver to build a warm pavilion, if there was no such thing, Cai Jing could have cried here and put on a clean look.
The Cai family can't even take out 30,000 taels of silver, who believes it!
Cai Jing paid 30,000 taels, haha, Zong Shu was going to discuss it with the prince, so he went to Mi County to set up a nursing home and Anjifang, because soon this place would become a gathering place for homeless people.
Some of these donations will be set aside for the harem, and the rest will be used to improve the basic medical care and family security of the miners in Mi County.
When Cai Jing reported the number, he couldn't say anything, because for the first time, someone brazenly forced donations.
Seeing Cai Jing's expression, Zong Shu wanted to laugh out loud, aren't you the prime minister?
Young Master Ben, the one who slaughtered is the prime minister!
