Chapter 440: Goodbye Gongsun Ying
Tang Ning was only halfway through what he said, and Emperor Chen had a feeling that hit his heart.
As the emperor, he was the richest man in the entire Chen State, and at the same time the poorest man, the Ministry of War asked for money, the Ministry of Industry needed money, the disaster relief needed money, the officials' servants asked for money, and the war also needed money......
If the officials don't give them, they all starve to death, who will do things for the imperial court?
If the money for disaster relief is not given, the victims will rebel, and the imperial court will need to invest more money to suppress it.
If the money for the war is not given, the insatiable steppe people will gain an inch, and only by beating them hard and being afraid can the border be stable.
Money is needed everywhere, and the treasury is not enough to be full of silver, and he can save money on weekdays, otherwise he would not have agreed to the businessman to organize the Sixteen Wei Dabi.
It is naturally good to sell tickets to fill the treasury, but there are also some problems, he thought about it, looked at Tang Ning and said: "The imperial court has the majesty of the imperial court, how can it be used in this way to fill the treasury?" ”
Tang Ning had already prepared, and added: "Your Majesty, the sale of Dabi tickets is in the name of the preparer, and does not involve the imperial court, and the other thirty percent is just the tax of the imperial court, and the other thirty percent is a donation to the military department......
Emperor Chen thought for a moment and said, "Three ......"
Seeing that Emperor Chen was about to bargain, Tang Ning immediately said, "In addition, the minister has another idea and wants to ask His Majesty. ”
Emperor Chen was interrupted, looked at him, and asked, "What thoughts?" ”
Tang Ning said: "Sixteen Wei Dabi, is a quadrennial event, since the imperial court invited envoys from other countries, why not invite the people from all walks of life in Beijing, let them witness the majesty of the Sixteen Wei, witness the ......majesty of the imperial court, His Majesty once said, "justice and selflessness, a word and all the people together", the sixteen Wei Dabi, hundreds of officials are considerable, the powerful are considerable, and the foreign envoys are considerable, why is it only that the people of Chen are not appreciable?
If Your Majesty is extraordinarily gracious and invites the people of Beijing to observe the ceremony, it is a pioneering move since the founding of the People's Republic of China, which will contribute to the wind of justice, so that the people will be united and the people will be united, and the country will be stable and ......."
Tang Ning's words made Chen Huang think about it for a long time, and he forgot about the ticket for a while.
He didn't think about these words, but he also felt that they made perfect sense, this was an opportunity to make the people come to their hearts, and the people's hearts were one of the things that an emperor longed for the most.
He looked at Tang Ning with a more satisfied gaze, not only because he was a rare three-element champion, but also because he was different from Fang Zhe, everything he did could win his heart.
At a certain moment, he thought of something again, looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Justice and selflessness, all the people ...... in one word, when did I say this?" ”
This sentence is extremely philosophical, and it is a famous saying that can be passed down to the world, but Emperor Chen doesn't remember when he said it.
This sentence is actually from "Huainanzi" in another world, but there is no version in this world, Tang Ning didn't believe that Emperor Chen could remember every word he said, and arched his hand: "This is what His Majesty once taught the minister, and the minister still remembers it vividly......"
Chen Huang thought about it carefully, felt a little impressed, and didn't seem to have it, coughed lightly, looked at Wei Jian, and asked, "Did I say this?" ”
Wei Jian thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty......, probably, maybe, maybe I said it." ”
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and saw that Emperor Chen was still looking at him, and after being stunned, he immediately understood, looked at Hanlin on the side, and said, "Write it down!" ”
The emperor's classic quotations are to be recorded and preserved, otherwise, thousands of years later, how will others know which emperor "is fair and selfless, and all the people are united" comes from?
Tang Ning stood below and watched quietly, in order to change the topic, it was worth it to give this famous sentence to Emperor Chen to satisfy his fragile vanity.
Emperor Chen watched with satisfaction as the officials of the Hanlin Academy finished recording before he looked at Tang Ning again and said, "You can remember my teachings, I am very relieved, and I will leave this matter to you." ”
Tang Ning arched his hand and said: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust." ”
"In addition, I have also approved the matter of tickets." Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "You have the heart to worry about me, and you always want to reduce the pressure on the treasury, which is very good, and you must always think about these things in the future." ”
Tang Ning said: "Ministers remember ......"
Emperor Chen nodded and said, "In the future, you can make your own decisions about the Sixteen Wei Dabi, and you don't need to ......report to me about any big and small things, if there is nothing to do, you can go back first." ”
After Tang Ning left, Emperor Chen pondered the sentence just now and muttered, "Why don't I remember at all, I once said that sentence?" ”
"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, so naturally it is impossible to remember every sentence." Wei Jian said with a smile: "However, since Lord Tang said it, presumably Your Majesty said it, he wouldn't make up such a sentence to deceive Your Majesty......"
"Not really." Emperor Chen shook his head and said, "How can there be such a boring person in this world......
He stood up, paced in the hall, and said slowly: "He understands business affairs, and it is not a bad thing, if all the industries of the imperial court are taken care of by him, maybe the treasury will not be short of silver in the future." ”
Although the imperial court did not attach importance to merchants, it would also engage in some commercial activities from the perspective of the state, such as the salt and iron franchise, and there was also an officially operated Qinglou Chu Pavilion in Beijing.
After Emperor Chen finished speaking, he shook his head again and said, "However, this is a bit overkill, it is better to let him walk more in the imperial court and play a more role......
……
Tang Ning walked in the palace and successfully completed the task of this trip.
After knowing Emperor Chu and Emperor Chen, he deeply realized that the so-called Son of Heaven is actually an ordinary person, Emperor Chen is greedy for money, and Emperor Chu is stingy......
Emperor Chen, whose vanity was satisfied, completely delegated power to him, and he didn't need to report to him for anything in the future, which was an additional gain, but what should have been done had been almost done, and then let it brew on its own.
He walked out of the imperial study and passed through several palaces, his expression suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look to the other side.
From a certain palace to his left, several figures stepped out.
Tang Ning's gaze stayed on the person in charge, watching her slowly walk over.
Gongsun Ying looked at him and said, "Lord Tang, we meet again." ”
When Gongsun Ying was transferred from the county jail to the criminal department, there were still leg shackles and shackles on her body, these things were missing at the moment, and she couldn't see the appearance of a prisoner from her.
Gongsun Ying looked at him and asked with a smile, "Aren't you surprised?" ”
Tang Ning didn't deny it, nodded and said, "It's a bit of an accident." ”
Gongsun Ying looked at him and said, "I didn't expect that Your Majesty the Emperor would be so interested in the art of poison Gu. ”
Seeing her in the palace, although Tang Ning was surprised, he was not so shocked.
Her ability to gain the trust of Wanyan as a Han already shows her ability, so thinking about it, it is not so surprising that she can turn over in this situation.
This fully shows that if you can understand a cold technology, you can indeed do better than ordinary people.
Gongsun Ying looked at him and said, "I can't leave the palace, you can help me bring a word to my senior sister." ”
Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "Am I familiar with you?" ”
"We don't have any deep hatreds." Gongsun Ying looked at him and said, "I used to want to deal with you, but along the way, you should have already retaliated back, we are two by two, and I will not be your enemy in the future." ”
She glanced at Tang Ning and said, "You help me tell her, don't think about saving me, besides, time will prove that my original choice was right." ”
After she finished speaking, she walked in the direction where Tang Ning had come.
This woman is quite self-conscious, Tang Ning glanced at her back and turned to leave.
……
Natural dwelling.
Su Mei sat at the table, writing something on the desk, and when she saw Tang Ning coming in, she didn't stop, and said, "I still have some things to be busy with, you can sit down for a while." ”
Tang Ning sat across from her and said, "Are you free at night, let's go to the house for a meal with my mother." ”
He promised to bring Zhao Man over, but he never had the opportunity, so it was better to go back with them, anyway, with Su Mei here, others would not misunderstand.
An old woman named Bai Jin walked in from outside the door and said, "She has something to do at night." ”
"Oh, really?" Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "I came back from the palace just now and met Gongsun Jin, and she asked me to bring you a message." ”
The old woman strode over and asked, "What words?" ”
She said......" Tang Ning scratched his head and said, "Ah......, I accidentally forgot it, my memory has been getting worse and worse recently......"
The old woman looked at him, then at Su Mei, and said, "She's okay tonight......"
