Chapter 64: Offering Silver (Asking for Recommendations)
Wan Dafa set off with more than ten boxes of silver, swaggering through the market all the way, provoking people to point fingers.
Outside the Jiaotai Palace, he met Zhang Whale, and Wan Da laughed and said: "There is Lao Zhang's father-in-law, please play, and I will ask to see Long live." ”
Zhang Whale stood still, just smiled: "The kid is a good method, but it's too tender." ”
Wan Dafa saw that Zhang Whale didn't give a good face, and he didn't lick his face to beg, so he didn't care: "Father-in-law Zhang doesn't want to pass it on his behalf, so don't blame me for not knowing how to be polite." ”
Zhang Whale gritted his teeth and said gloomily: "Boy, the hair hasn't grown yet, so be careful." ”
The anger in my heart, if I don't pass the word and be known by Banzai, I have to be stripped of my skin, looking at the whole dozen big boxes It is estimated that there is silver inside, Zhang Whale is a little afraid, and has to enter the hall to pass it on.
After a while, Zhang Whale came out, gritted his teeth and glared at Wan Dafa, and said, "Xuan Wan Dafa is here." ”
Wan Dafa ignored Zhang Whale's appearance, entered the main hall, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Minister, Wan Dafa, knock to see Your Majesty the Emperor, for thousands of generations, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous forever." ”
Emperor Wanli was scolded by Wan Dafa with a few flirtatious laughs: "You little eunuch is getting more and more sharp-tongued, is there any difficulty in finding me." ”
Wan Dafa's face was slightly red, and he said: "When it is difficult, it is temporary, Xiaochen tries to solve it by himself and does not add to Banzai, Xiaochen will send the silver he received to Banzai this time, and he is a little afraid of losing it, so he ......"
When Emperor Wanli heard that the silver was coming, he was in good spirits, sat up, and asked, "How many?" ”
Wan Dafa saw the emperor's reaction and knew that it was right, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, a total of 260,000 taels of silver will be collected, and the minister will leave three taels of silver on his own initiative for emergencies, and the rest will be escorted to the palace. ”
Wan Li was surprised in his heart, it had only been a few days, Wan Dafa had brought so much silver, and he was a little puzzled: "This is also a month's share of money." ”
Wan Dafa said: "Long live, these silver are a month's income in Dongshi, but there are still nearly twenty percent of the merchants who have not paid. Moreover, Xiao Chen felt that the money was a little unpleasant, so he changed the name to the comprehensive management fee without permission, and came to ask for long live. ”
Emperor Wanli looked at the boxes of silver brought in, and really couldn't believe that this was true, how much is the annual income of the Ming Dynasty, and the annual income of a year in the East Market can be worth more than the annual income of the entire Ming Dynasty in half a year.
More than a dozen boxes of silver were opened in the hall, Emperor Wanli took a deep breath, the pupils in his eyes were staring at the boxes of silver, for a long time, he slowly raised his head and glanced at Wan Dafa, confirming that this was true.
Emperor Wanli originally put Wan Dafa, the little eunuch, into the position of a thousand households is a bit nonsense, try to see if a small stone can stir up a thousand waves, of course there is a problem, this little eunuch who loves to jump out and toss can disappear, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it at all......
His eyes flashed over the light, and he said meaningfully: "The kid has lived up to my expectations, and I am optimistic about you." ”
This sentence alone is worth a thousand words, the emperor is an unprecedented expression of his meaning, Rao is Zhang Whale started by figuring out the holy will, and his jaw dropped at this time.
Emperor Wanli is very few, rarely publicly expressed satisfaction with a person, and then which emperor is willing to express his heart, is guessed by the people below, of course the emperor has learned the art of the emperor, unless he himself is willing to express it, otherwise there is a probability of speculation.
Wan Dafa said respectfully: "The little ministers are all Hongfu of His Majesty and Hongfu of the emperor's eldest grandson." ”
Wan Dafa didn't expect that Emperor Wanli at this time was like a father, and his eyes were full of that kind of affectionate color.
Emperor Wanli was in a good mood at this time, and said gently: "It's hard for you, but you can't neglect the matter of accompanying the emperor's eldest grandson." ”
Zhang Whale and the eunuchs standing beside him, these people can see clearly at this time, this little eunuch is Jane in the emperor's heart, and this is all in the emperor's heart.
Wan Dafa hurriedly said: "The minister understands, the emperor's eldest grandson is talented, and the ten ministers are not as good, long live entrusting the minister with a heavy responsibility, the minister is now in good spirits, not afraid of difficulties, forging ahead, swimming in the sea, geographically drilling, not forgetting the grace of the saint, and resolutely completing the task." ”
Emperor Wanli was also a little stunned by Wan Dafa's sycophant, and he didn't know where this little eunuch learned these words at a young age.
Wan Da found that he was also stupid and couldn't tell whether he was the real Wan Dafa or another himself.
Everything about people will change with the change of the environment, and the whole person has now integrated into the era of the Ming Dynasty and changed all habits.
Emperor Wanli smiled, laughing a little arrogantly, he hadn't laughed so happily for a long time, and said casually: "You little doll, you are really my lucky star." ”
He sighed in his heart that it was a pity, this smart boy was a eunuch, otherwise......
But the eunuch, the royal private slave, and the little eunuch is easy to control, as long as he is dedicated to doing things for me, I can also allow him to hold a high position.
Wan Dafa felt that it was time, so he hurriedly saluted and retired, it was too stressful to stay with the emperor, and it was not fun.
Out of the Jiaotai Palace, he walked towards the direction of the East Palace.
"Thousands of households, slow down." Wan Dafa turned around and gasped behind the little father-in-law: "Thousands of noble concubines are invited." ”
Wan Dafa was surprised, how could this still be entangled with himself, and he struggled to go or not go. Then he took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the little father-in-law's hand, and said with a smile: "This father-in-law doesn't know what the concubine is looking for?" ”
The little father-in-law accepted the money and said with a smile: "I really don't know this, the miscellaneous family is the one who spreads the word." ”
Wan Dafa sighed secretly, it seemed that he couldn't hide, so he could only go hard.
In the palace, Concubine Zheng was sitting, and there was a young man in a python robe standing on the side, Wan Dafa saluted calmly: "The minister knocks on the concubine Niangniang, and knocks on His Royal Highness King Fu." ”
King Fu's nostrils turned to the sky with an invincible look, and he said arrogantly: "You are not small, when can a eunuch call himself a minister, it is really unheard of." ”
Wan Dafa had no fear, and said calmly: "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty is also allowed to use this title. ”
King Fu wanted to be shocked, but he didn't expect this kid to be afraid, so he snorted coldly and didn't speak.
Zheng Guifei said with a smile: "Thousands of households get up, this palace invites you to come just to let you and King Fu get acquainted, King Fu must not be rude, although thousands of households are young, but long live and rely on, you two can communicate more after you go." ”
Wan Dafa was angry when he saw the proud appearance of the Fu King, so that he could exchange a fart.
King Fu wanted to refute, but Concubine Zheng Guifei's face was solemn and she swallowed back the words she was about to say. Extremely reluctant, he said: "Erchen obeys orders." ”
Wan Dafa looked left and right, and said seriously: "As long as His Royal Highness King Fu is willing, the ministers should obey their orders." ”
Concubine Zheng said with a smile: "This palace will not hinder the two of you, the two of you can communicate well, and you will have to help each other in the future." ”
