Chapter 257: Providence is unpredictable

Xu Xinyi was so embarrassed by the actions of his mother and sister-in-law that he ran back to the room where he lived without seeing Qin Lin.

The two grandfathers of Wei poured wine on Qin Lin one by one, and they were also drunk, and their faces were red.

Xu Bangrui is old, and his drinking power is not as grand as when he was young, and he burped with drunken eyes: "Brother Qin is on Jinyiwei's side, hehe, if you suffer any grievances, burp...... It's okay to transfer to my Nanjing battalion, as long as you don't dislike it, hiccup, my father will command the envoy for Brother Qin's ......."

The commander of the third rank is already a senior military attaché, and the vast majority of people can't be promoted in a lifetime, although Qin Lin is a Jinyi guard, and his power is much greater than that of the Jingwei, and he can jump from the fifth rank to the third grade, which is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

This is a wild language for anyone, only Xu Bangrui takes it for granted, he is in charge of the forty-nine Beijing Guard Forbidden Army in Nanjing, one hundred and eighteen thousand households, plus the four battalions of the Zhejiang Army, whatever Tiance Guard, Leopard Taowei, move the position of the commander to come out, don't be too easy~

However, Qin Lin himself was strange, why did he say that he wanted to transfer for no reason? He also drank a lot of wine, so he smiled and said: "Grandpa Lao Guo is worried, although the lower officials are in a lowly position in Jinyiwei, Grandpa Lai Guo and all the superiors appreciate it, and they are not bullied by anyone." ”

"Haha, young people have momentum," Xu Bangrui gave a thumbs up.

He was about to continue, Xu Weizhi poked him in the waist and eyes beside him, and speeked hard: "Dad, you drank too much." ”

"Lao Tzu is not drunk, it's okay to drink three more glasses, don't believe it, look at ......it" Xu Bangrui picked up the huge gin glass, poured it into his throat, and then turned over the empty wine glass with a smile: "Look, your Lao Tzu's drinking volume is still acceptable, right?" Haha – hiccup. ”

The laughter stopped abruptly because Wei Guogong had already slipped under the table with his head tilted.

Xu Weizhi asked Yahuan to help his father, and smiled at Qin Lin: "There are a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and my father hasn't drunk like this for a long time, but it makes Brother Qin laugh." ”

Qin Lin endured the wine, and arched his hand: "How dare you, the grandfather of the country has an extraordinary drinking spirit, and you can vaguely see the style of the ancestor Zhongshan King prancing on a horse and spearing a spear in the north. ”

Xu Weizhi was full of joy when he heard Qin Lin praise his ancestors' great achievements, and told Yahuan to send his father back to the room and boil sobering soup to relieve hangover, while he personally took Qin Lin's arm and sent him out.

After returning to the house and squinting on the chuáng for a while, Qing Dai personally boiled a bowl of hangover tea soup and sent it to drink, and Qin Lin fell asleep until the next morning.

Unlike other places, the Duke of Wei Mansion did not send a gift back, and Qin Lin was a little surprised: it was not that he wanted to reciprocate, but that he thought of the generous xìng son of the Duke of Wei and his son, this time it seemed a little unusual?

As everyone knows, in the mansion of the Duke of Wei, Mrs. Wu has put the pearls, treasures, jade, tortoiseshell and other gifts given by Qin Lin on a chǎg, and the daughter-in-law fù and many three aunts and six mothers-in-law accompany them to look at the same.

Although these things are worth a lot of money, they are really nothing in the Wei Mansion in the south of the rich Jiangnan, and the reason why everyone is watching with great interest is only because the person who gives the gift is different......

"Ah, the stupid xiǎo son even sent this, and said that he didn't propose a relative? Hmph, how long are you going to hide it? Wu picked out a lacquerware box with the pattern of Guanyin sending a child, a double pearl, and a mandarin duck playing in the water tortoiseshell screen from a large pile of gifts, with an expression of "I understand everything" on his face.

Qin Lin didn't know that the gift he gave had been misunderstood by the Xu family - it wasn't that he wasn't careful enough, but as long as the Wu family picked it with a "misunderstanding", he could always pick out a few treasures with special meanings among the hundreds of gifts.

In addition to the fact that the Duke of Wei did not return the gift, there were several other things at the banquet, Qin Lin felt strange when he recalled it after waking up: The father and son of the Xu family repeatedly asked Zhang Zixuan and her brother where they were, what was their purpose? Later, why did he mention that he was transferred from Jinyiwei to Nanjing Daying for no reason?

Could it be that something happened to the Zhang family?

The more Qin Lin thought about it, the more unsteady he became, and he was about to go out to find Wang Shizhen to inquire about the news, when the pro-soldiers guarding Mén outside shouted in a long voice: "The three sons of the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion are here to worship!" ”

The so-called three sons, in fact, are two sons plus a sister Xiǎo who dresses up as a man, Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu brothers have a slight wind and frost, and Zhang Zixuan has a clear face, although she is dressed in men's clothes, she does not hide her beauty at all, which makes people feel a little more pity than usual.

Knowing that these three of them must have confidential matters together, Qin Lin led them to the study, and after Yahuan served tea, he asked her to step down, leaving only the four guests and hosts. ,

Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu glanced at each other, both of them were embarrassed, and in the end, the younger brother Zhang Maoxiu was in a hurry, took out a handscroll from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Lin: "This is the manuscript of the holy decree copied from my father, we are two days faster than the envoy in the decree, so we will bring it to Brother Qin Shi first." ”

It is said that he gave his opinion to the courtiers, who wrote a chapter, and then "voted" and agreed by himself in the cabinet, and then sent it to the inner court, where the eunuch Feng Bao "approved the red" by the eunuch Feng Bao, who was in charge of the same party's celebrant and supervisor, and finally sent it back to the cabinet for execution.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng's meaning is the holy decree, so it is not surprising that Zhang Maoxiu has a draft.

On this manuscript, he mainly wrote praise for Yingzhou NV Tusi Jin, saying "The people of Haiyi admire the virtue of my holy son of heaven, so they return thousands of miles, and the Jin family is respectful and diligent, and he is really an example for Zhuyi".

In addition, the Jin's request, to follow the old practice of the nine-sided trade of the Gong, open Hangzhou as a commercial port, allow free trade of maritime merchants of various countries, reopen the city to manage trade taxes, and the tax rate is still implemented according to the old system of 30 taxes and 1.

This condition is good, although it did not win the nationwide open sea trade - in fact, it is not a short-term can be done, before Zhang Juzheng presided over the "Longqing open sea" also only opened a moon port, and only allowed the local residents of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou to go to sea, and set up a "ship guide" (foreign trade license) to control the number of ships going to sea, as now there is no limit, no ship guide, open Hangzhou as a free trade port, for Wufeng maritime merchants is great good news.

In addition, the nominal tax rate of the Ming Dynasty has always been very low, 30 taxes of 1 is 3.3 percent, which is lower than the tax rate of any era in later generations.

However, there were two missing items in the holy decree: Qin Lin's reward and Wang Bengu's punishment.

Huang Gonggong is a eunuch, Huo Chonglou is the East Factory, these two places are directly managed by the inner court, and the promotion can be done without a holy decree; But Qin Lin is a foreign official, and he has made such a great achievement, it should be reflected in the holy decree?

No wonder Xu Bangrui, the Duke of Wei, thought so - the current imperial decree is almost equal to Zhang Juzheng's meaning, since the holy decree did not reward Qin Lin, it is that Zhang Juzheng is not interested in him!

Is that really the case?

Qin Lin face sè Gujing is not bō, just look at Zhang Zixuan.

The prime minister's daughter's face was as white as snow, and she was ashamed and embarrassed to take out a few other letters from her sleeve.
