Chapter 86: Chinese New Year's Eve
Emperor Hongzhi's life has been bumpy to the extreme, born to a palace maid, Wan Guifei is autocratic, and regards it as a thorn in the eye. There were also the eunuchs who carefully hid him, and the eunuchs who were finally executed. There was an angry yelling at Emperor Hongzhi's father, Emperor Chenghua, and the Empress Dowager Zhou, who was also born to a palace maid. There is also Empress Zhang, who shared the hardships with him even after marrying a wife, even if she encountered great dangers, and in the court, countless courtiers who sacrificed their lives to fight for the country, never compromised with Emperor Chenghua and Wan Guifei, and desperately wanted to die to protect the countless courtiers of Emperor Hongzhi and the unification.
At the beginning, Emperor Chenghua had the idea of changing the crown prince, and Liu Jian and these people did not hesitate to put forward suggestions and wept bitterly. went to ask the British Duke and others, and the British Duke and the others were all silent with a blue face, but the attitude of the first emperor of Chenghua was self-evident, that is, Lian Fang Jifan's father, Nan and Bo Fang Jinglong, were crying on the spot. Seeing that Wenchen was like this, and so was Wuchen, Emperor Chenghua was extremely unwilling to dispel these thoughts.
The life of Emperor Hongzhi is a legend, which makes him understand the sinister hearts of people, but also makes him realize that there is a lot of warmth in this world, he knows very well that he was the hope of countless people, and he has exhausted everything, not luxury, not love beauty, diligent every day, working day and night, and never disappointing.
The most important thing is that he learned to be tolerant, even in the face of the eagle dog lackeys who flattered Concubine Wan Guifei back then, although he was dismissed or ordered to pay tribute to the soldiers, Emperor Hongzhi almost did not shout and kill.
Emperor Hongzhi returned to his proper appearance, just sighed, and slightly began to worry about his stupid son: "I'm not angry with the prince, I'm just worried, the prince can take his frolicking and playful words seriously, and he has no opinions, just like the balance of the accounting income......" He lowered his eyes and glanced at the book: "Actually, don't I know, the last time I taught the prince, the prince must be unconvinced, he is such a child, he has to show it to others, I want to come to Zhan Shifu, The prince must have searched his stomach and wanted to calculate the accounts, Fang Jifan's kid saw him like this, eighty percent knew that the prince couldn't calculate, rather than wasting his efforts in vain, it was better to coax him, this stupid son, take it seriously. Moreover, this guy is getting bolder and bolder, and he dares to reprimand his father as a faint king! ”
“……”
This is His Majesty's family matter, Liu Jian and the three of them, I really don't know how to persuade them from where.
Emperor Hongzhi immediately shook his head and smiled again: "But what Liu Qingjia said is right, the prince has no brothers since he was a child, and when he was young, he was lonely...... It's also very lonely in his heart, and it's not a bad thing that he can trust someone. This is also why I ordered Fang Jifan's original intention to read with him, but there is only one thing, this guy Fang Jifan is really unreliable sometimes, and he has to change it! ”
It seems that the anger has subsided.
Zhu Houzhao seemed to be breathless, and he didn't even go to the palace, Empress Zhang of Kunning Palace and the Empress Dowager of Wanshou Palace, and they didn't go to say hello, but only said that they were unwell.
…………
It's going to be the New Year, the street is full of joy, the wine and food of several restaurants are all ordered, and then, it was sent to the mine of Xishan Coal Mine, this is Fang Jifan's handwriting, the New Year, and these miners dragged their families to the Fang family to mine, how can Fang Jifan be stingy, chickens, ducks and fish are the same, this move makes Wang Jinyuan want to cry, silver, all white silver, although Zhenguo Mining is now a daily gold bucket, but it is so bad...... It's not a thing, so Wang Jinyuan resolutely decided that on the night of the New Year's Eve, he would not spend it at home, go to the mine, don't eat for nothing, eat more, and earn back a little.
The miners and their families in the mine, for the first time, lived such a rich year, buckets of dishes, those dishes that ordinary people can't eat, and can't be called famous, but now, it is a bucket of vegetables moved to the mine, at this time the weather is cold, and they don't worry about the food and wine, they are stored a day or two in advance, and when they reach the day of the New Year, they directly boil the pot and heat it, wine and food, this kind of happiness, perhaps for the princes and nobles in the inner city, it is just the most ordinary day, but for them, it makes them live in black and white. Add a bit of color.
In the city, the scholars scolded Fang Jifan, and here, the miners and the ladies were surprisingly consistent with each other's young master, if it weren't for Fang Jifan, or they were homeless, they would have frozen to death and starved to death, and if it wasn't for Young Master Fang's take-in, now they are probably still in rags, curled up under the wall, and they don't know what will happen tomorrow today.
At the end of the year, it is necessary to start settling wages, which are not in treasure money, nor in the so-called firewood and coarse grain deductions, but in real silver and copper coins.
Wang Jinyuan took the bookkeepers, but he was meticulous, shouting the name of a person, and distributing the silver money, at this moment, many people wept, and the swarthy faces soaked in coal showed white teeth and smiled, but the corners of the eyes were moist.
Obviously doing business, how to do it, as if accumulating virtue and doing good? Wang Jinyuan shook his head secretly in his heart, he felt that he had fallen.
Fang Jifan is studying the big fireworks used for the New Year.
Saltpeter and gunpowder can be bought in the Wang Gong factory in the southwest corner of the inner city, where there is a special gunpowder bureau, which is not only a royal arsenal, but also makes some fireworks and firecrackers to sell, but Fang Jifan is not satisfied with ordinary fireworks.
Deng Jian, as soon as he saw that the young master was 'doing something', he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart, he was not a smart person, he only knew that the young master was not serious, that is, he was serious, he was actually a wooden person, he only knew that the master had commanded, the young master could not be sick, he would always be like a fart, stalking the young master, for fear that the young master would be a little negligent, the old disease would recur, and he would never be cured, and there would be no more young master in this Fang family.
Xiao Xiangxiang and a few girls from afar, stopped, while drying the master's clothes, while looking at Fang Jifan who was in the backyard with a lead, the young master concentrated, serious, it was indescribably good-looking, there was a different kind of temperament, occasionally, the girls around him chuckled and said something, Xiao Xiangxiang turned a deaf ear, and began to have a heart.
Fang Jinglong went to visit his relatives as usual, those elders, they had to visit in advance, and they had to go to inspect occasionally in the Beijing camp, after all, it was the end of the year, but they had to beware of Xiaoxiao and thieves, and there must be no one plotting against them.
Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived.
Kyori suddenly boiled.
People forgot the loser of the Fang family, forgot the gambling game in the spring, at this time, there was laughter and laughter everywhere, even the poorest people also took out a little surplus of a year, prepared better wine and food than usual, women and children, even if they were poor, also pulled a few feet of cloth to make new clothes.
Only in the north and south stalls of the household department, on this Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Dongyang seemed a little anxious.
More than 70 officials in the north and south stalls are still busy in the north and south stalls, in fact, the accounting at the end of the year should have come out many days in advance, but after several checks, it was found that the number reported by the south stall and the north stall room was not matched.
This...... But it's embarrassing.
What is involved is the surplus of the treasury, which is not a trivial matter, once the calculation is wrong, there is obviously something that is not there, but the court thinks that the things on the books are still there, and once there is a problem in the expenditure, it will be a big deal.
There is no way, no one knows which link went wrong, so ...... Can only be recalculated.
Because of the huge amount of calculations, and in order to prevent errors and omissions, almost all of the more than 20 scribes in the north and south stalls checked their own calculations, and only the numbers on both sides were on the right to ensure that the numbers were correct.
