Zhu Houzhao's little abacus to make money finally failed!

Because these officials of the Zhan Mansion who entered the palace did not bring money with them, if they had money, in order to enhance the "friendship between teachers and students", they might really fulfill the meaning of the bear child, but the lecturers and attendants of the East Palace are all officials of the Hanlin system, who would bring such an indecent thing as silver into the palace?

Zhu Houzhao's cleverness and temperament are more fully reflected in this matter, he actually regarded the palace as a market, and took out royal things to measure the value with silver. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Shen Xi heard about this, he shook his head and said, "Ridiculous."

Zhu Houzhao is really the absurd "unscrupulous king" in history, as soon as he makes a move, he is extraordinary, although he is eleven years old this year, but his temperament is jumpy, just like how he doesn't look the same.

Thinking that Zhu Houzhao will ascend the throne in four years, if this bear child continues to develop according to the established steps, it seems that it will be difficult to change the historical trend.

In Shen Xi's opinion, even if Liu Jin is killed, there will be other eunuchs who will take advantage of the situation to rise, or other traitorous foxes and fake tigers in the DPRK and China will make waves, not that Shen Xi can solve the problem by designing one or two people.

On the fourth day of the first month of August, two days before entering the examination room, Shen Xi learned about this situation from Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zhongyun Jin Gui, who was also the chief examiner of the township examination.

Jin Gui was very emotional about the prince's misdeeds, although he was not a lecturer in the East Palace, but he had the responsibility of teaching and regulating the prince's words and deeds when he served in the Zhan Mansion, but he was at a loss for anything.

"Shen Yude, do you think that if the prince continues to mess around like this, will he go astray? Alas, how should our courtiers explain to Your Majesty! ”

Jin Gui sighed and said.

Shen Xi thought to himself, Emperor Hongzhi will die in a few years, and when the prince is really an adult, he doesn't need to explain to anyone, think about how to explain to himself more realistically.

"That'...... What does Mr. Leung mean? Shen Xi asked.

Jin Gui sighed lightly: "Mr. Liang has not reported this matter for the time being, but there is a detailed record in the living record of the East Palace, and Your Majesty will know about it sooner or later." The crown prince actually sold it openly in the palace, and did that businessman's thing, if His Majesty knew about it, I am afraid that we would be condemned. ”

Shen Xi nodded.

If he really wants to be held responsible, Shen Xi asked himself that he was the most responsible, because it was he who taught the prince to use silver, and if he turned over the IOU he asked the prince to write, then he would not be far from the place where he was released.

Subsequently, Shen Xi and Jin Gui did not say anything about Zhu Houzhao, this day was the day they met the outer curtain officials and other internal curtain officials of this township test.

In addition to Shen Xi and Jin Gui, there are also seven examiners in the Shuntianfu Township Examination, including three special examiners for "Yi", "Poem" and "Book".

Among the seven same examiners, two were officials in Beijing from Hanlin, and the rest were Confucians recommended by Shuntianfu.

There are dozens of people in the outer curtain officials, and the township test in the south and north is served by the officials of Yingtianfu and Shuntianfu, and the two supervisors are responsible for supervising the imperial history, from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The official start time of the Shuntianfu Township Examination is the ninth day of August, but the inner curtain official has to enter the venue on the sixth day of August. Two days in advance, that is, on the fourth day of the eighth month, the Shuncheonfu will gather all the inner and outer curtain officials to hold a meeting similar to a meeting, take a look at each other, get to know each other, so that they can cooperate better in the future.

This day happened to be the day when Shen Xi and Jin Gui went to Shuntian Mansion to meet with the officials of the inner curtain and the outer curtain, it is said that there is a banquet in the evening, which will last until late, and the next day will rest for a day, and Shen Xi will take his luggage to the tribute courtyard early in the morning of the sixth day of the new year.

The township test held by the thirteen political envoys, the inner curtain official has no status, and the outer curtain official is the protagonist of the township test, but Shuntianfu is different, this day's party has basically distinguished the priority at the beginning, the chief examiner Shen Xi, Jin Gui and two inner curtain officials from the Hanlin Academy are surrounded by people, followed by those from the Shuntian Mansion and the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and finally a few Confucians who have no official or no quality but have certain academic attainments and were recommended by Shuntianfu as the inner curtain official.

Unlike the inner curtain officer, who is presided over by the chief examiner, the outer curtain officer has no distinction between important and noble, and needs to perform their duties and cannot interfere with each other. However, because most of the officials in the outer curtain officials are from the Shuntian Mansion, whoever has a high official position in the end has the right to speak among the outer curtain officials, and this person is the plenipotentiary representative of the Shuntian Mansion Yin...... The Shuntian Mansion of the sixth product was sentenced to Tang Ying.

said that this Tang Ying, around forty years old, thin, with a pair of bright eyes and a long beard under his chin, gave Shen Xi the first impression that he was very old. It is reported that this person is not even a lifter, just an ancestral prisoner, but he is good at drilling, and now he can achieve the general judgment of the six grades, which shows the complexity of the forces behind it.

Tang Ying is the "promotion officer" among the outer curtain officials, and he is responsible for the communication between the inner curtain officials and the outer curtain officials.

The banquet was held in a high-end wine shop near Andingmen, where Shuntian Mansion was located, and a total of seven tables were set upstairs, with Shen Xi, Jin Gui and Tang Ying sitting at the main table.

A group of people were full of food and drink, Tang Ying asked people to carry the box out, and after opening it, it was not silver money, but the Daming treasure banknotes that had just been printed, and according to each person's position, they would get some Daming treasure banknotes.

Shen Xi got a treasure bill of sixty yuan, and according to the proportion, he could get back about twenty yuan at a discount. Shen Xi asked, "Tang Tongju, I don't know what the reputation of this money is?" ”

"Lord Shen don't be surprised, this is not a private gift, but a literary coin."

Tang Ying explained with a smile, "Lord Shen will definitely say that he has already received the Wen Coin before, but it is a reward from the imperial court, this time...... But it was given by Shuntianfu, and Lord Shen accepted it with peace of mind. If Lord Shen is not easy to redeem, Xia Guan knows some people here who can help Lord Shen cash out......"

Shen Xi judged from Tang Ying's meaningful gaze that Tang Ying clearly told him that as long as he handed over the Daming treasure banknotes to him, he could exchange them in full, which means that sixty yuan treasure banknotes could be exchanged for sixty thousand copper coins, which was twice as high as the price on the market.

"It turns out that my hands and feet have fallen here." Shen Xi thought to himself.

When the inner curtain officials and outer curtain officials present heard this, they couldn't help but hand over the Daming treasure money that had just arrived to Tang Ying, and said with a smile: "Please also ask Lord Tang to bother more." ”

"Definitely, definitely."

Tang Ying put away the Daming treasure banknotes, put them back in the box, and said, "I'll send the exchanged silver money to your mansion when I go back." Lord Shen, Lord Jin, do you need this official to do it for you? ”

Shen Xi and Jin Gui both saw the doorway.

In this kind of matter, the two naturally have to be in the same breath, in fact, Jin Gui is also waiting for Shen Xi to make a statement, after all, in terms of official position, Shen Xi's right command is higher than him, and Shen Xi is still a double official, and his status is respected.

"No need."

Shen Xi said with a smile, "I'm not a person who doesn't use silver money very often, so it's better to let my family exchange it." ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, he couldn't give the curtain official a chance to win over and corrupt him, otherwise he would not be able to explain anything fraudulent when he turned around.

Shen Xi said this, Jin Gui naturally stood on Shen Xi's side, saying that he would go back and let his family redeem it.

The banquet dispersed, and everyone went home, and several of the inner curtain officials came from the prefectures and counties of Beizhili and temporarily lived in the inn, which gave the outer curtain officials the opportunity to buy them.

Shen Xi and Jin Gui said goodbye and got into the carriage directly. This time, Zhu Shan rolled his eyes and asked, "Master, didn't you spill the wine on your body this time?" ”

Shen Xi smiled.

Zhu Shan has grown up now, and he has begun to learn a little bit of a little girl's temper, last time it was Xie Yun'er who helped Shen Xi explain and explained to her that Shen Xi really didn't drink, but the wine was spilled on his body, so he asked this question today.

"No, I did drink alcohol this time, which is a necessary entertainment on official business, and I can't shirk it. I'm a little tired, it's not early, let's go home quickly. Shen Xi replied leaning on the carriage.

"Oh."

Zhu Shan was sullen, this time it was not that she felt that Shen Xi had lied to her, but because Shen Xi was drunk, she always felt that drinking would hurt her body, and she was actually worried about her master at this time.

Shen Xi thought to herself: "What a kind girl, I don't know when that kid from Wang Lingzhi will come back, see if I can help them match." ”

Unconsciously, Shen Xi and Wang Lingzhi have been separated for two years, and he doesn't know how Wang Lingzhi has been doing in the past two years, but it is expected that Wang Lingzhi is an officer who will be matched by the military department, so he will not be bullied, and it is good not to bully others with his skills. As for last year's war, whether Wang Lingzhi made any military achievements, Shen Xi was also black-eyed.

"Phew! Who? Zhu Shan's snort made Shen Xi come back to his senses.

"Anyone?"

Shen Xi opened the curtain and saw that there were people blocking the road in front of him, but the other party was only two people, one was standing in front empty-handed, and the one behind was carrying a lantern.

The person in front took the initiative to greet him and said, "This is Lord Shen?" ”

In fact, Shen Xi didn't need to guess to know that it was from Shuntianfu, he didn't get out of the carriage, but just asked lightly: "Your Excellency?" ”

"The villain was ordered by Tang Tong to come over and inform Lord Shen, you don't have a way to redeem treasure money, if you let us exchange it, the treasure bill of sixty yuan can sometimes be exchanged for one hundred and twenty yuan." The person who came said respectfully.

Shen Xi frowned: "Oh? So good? ”

Although the light was dim, you could still see people smiling like dog's tail flowers: "Of course, if Lord Shen is not satisfied, we can find another way, maybe we can exchange more copper coins." ”

Shen Xi said: "I heard by chance that the money on the market can only be exchanged for about three hundred Wen, so I don't dare to bother you, in case...... Hehe, you know what you mean, right? ”

"There will never be a case."

The person who came said conclusively, "As long as Lord Shen hands over the treasure money to us, tomorrow the exchanged copper money will be sent to any place designated by Lord Shen, and it will not affect the reputation of Lord Shen." ”

This bribe is direct enough!

This means that the other party will not send the money to the family, so even if it is tracked down by the Yamen of the Department afterwards, it can be refused.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Someone on my side is stopping, and I believe that the same is true for Jin Gui's side." I hope Jin Gui can be upright...... It is said that the Shuntianfu at the foot of the world is so blatant, so wouldn't it be more serious for Ying Tianfu and the Thirteen Political Envoys to engage in private fraud? ”

"Thank you for your kindness, this official is going back to the house, please give way." Shen Xi ignored the roadblocker in front of him this time, returned directly to the carriage, and then lowered the curtain.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "I just don't want to accept bribes, you won't be a killer, right?" ”

When the carriage left, the faces of the people who came were full of chagrin and resentment...... Not completing the errand means that you are likely to be hung up when you go back.

"Lian Jianxiao, what should we do now?" The attendant in the back hurriedly asked.

Lian Jianxiao clenched his fists: "I have long heard that this new champion is a master who does not enter oil and salt, and today I have seen it...... What are you waiting for, follow me back to Shuntianfu to report. We can't handle it, there's always someone who can deal with him! (To be continued.) )
