Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Beggar's Meeting
Since Yu Xuan helped solve Xuanyuan Ren's humiliation, Xuanyuan Ren has even more respect for Yu Xuan. In fact, Yu Xuan is really bold, and thanks to Xuanyuan Ren, he dares to fight. This time, Yu Xuan was impressed by this Twelve Highnesses. Courageous, decisive enough, and aware of the good use of others.
It's just that Yu Xuan's proposal has a surprisingly good effect, and there is no opinion of resistance, and I think that the trouble will come later!
On this day, Xuanyuan Ren came to discuss important matters with Yu Xuan again.
"Sir, Bird has a matter to ask sir." Xuanyuan Ren mentioned that "since the Kang's corruption case, Mr. Yu has given advice. Recently, the battle situation in South Ridge has been severe, the war is tight, and there is a shortage of people and money, and Mr. Bird wants to make another contribution here. That will deepen my father's trust in me. But Bird has no ink in his foolish chest, so I hope Mr. can make a plan for Bird. ”
Yu Xuan listened to it and thought for a moment, and there were words in his mouth, "Since the Kang's corruption case, conscription, war, corrupt officials, and accumulation of wealth" walked around with his head down, and suddenly stood up and stopped and shouted: "Your Highness, we can ...... like this"
Since the Kang's embezzlement case, His Royal Highness Xuanyuan Ren wants to play a good show again. Yu Xuan naturally wants to help!
The next day, Xuanyuan Ren went to the court to discuss matters, "There is something to play, nothing to retreat from the court-
"Your Majesty, my son-in-law has something to say." When he was about to retreat, he hurriedly jumped out and shouted.
The old emperor gave permission to play, and Xuanyuan Ren gushed about his thoughts again: "Your Majesty, according to your sons, the recent stalemate in the Nanling war is severe, and there will be no soldiers and no food soon...... Therefore, Erchen has prepared a strategy in advance, and now the tax burden is compacted and cannot be increased, which may arouse the anger of the people again, and Erchen wants to ask for military funds in the hands of the rich gentry in those places. Now because of the strict conscription system, the same conscription area has been repeated several times in a year, and now it is time for conscription, so the beloved sons of the rich gentry in major places may not be able to escape the conscription, Erchen thought! If they could redeem their precious children with money, the local gentry would certainly try their best to respond to the policies of the imperial court. It is indeed as follows, one; The price is set according to the number of heads and the amount of family wealth, and the price is clearly marked for 100,000, 150,000, 300,000, etc. Two; Although their children may not be conscripted for the rest of their lives, the wealthy gentry of the local area must pay for ten conscripts to replace them within a specified period of time, and they must also surrender the corresponding number of heads if the war is urgently needed......
Although Xuanyuanren's proposal was slightly questioned, it was passed, and it exceeded the budget.
These seem to be unreasonable and very unreasonable, but in fact, the rich gentry in those places are happy! Yu Xuan is a person who has come to know the truth, as soon as he arrives at the war conscription, the corrupt officials in those places will take the opportunity to make a windfall, and some of them are blackmailing the rich gentry in those places, and even if there is no war conscription of the imperial court, they can also set up a name and continue to plunder and extort, if you don't give it, I'm afraid you will have to go to the prison to talk to those torture instruments, and then torture into a trick, draw a charge, all the hard work, most of the life accumulated family wealth will be put into the hands of others. In this way, Yu Xuan can be regarded as saving them.
"Sir, sir, sir......" Xuanyuan Ren rushed into Yu Xuan's room, "Sir......
"What's wrong with Your Highness, why is it like this?" Yu Xuan asked when he saw this.
"Sir, sir, save Bird!" Xuanyuan Ren bent down and bowed.
Yu Xuan was even more shocked when he saw it, and quickly helped Xuanyuan Ren up, and said, "Your Highness, if you have something to say, why is it so posture that frightens Yu Xuan." ”
It turned out that Xuanyuan Ren's five emperor brothers ordered to know that Xuanyuan Ren had a way to raise funds, and hoped that Xuanyuan Ren would raise funds for disaster relief, and also asked Xuanyuan Ren to make a military order within seven days, if he did not serve in military law. Yu Xuan guessed that the five emperor brothers knew so quickly, and they attached so much importance to Xuanyuan Ren's fundraising, I am afraid that the fundraising incident also infringed on his interests. Now the five emperor brothers want Xuanyuan Ren's life to vent their anger and take revenge.
Yu Xuan was also a little anxious now, and it was difficult for him to come up with a solution right away. But Yu Xuan still showed a confident appearance, comforting Xuanyuan Ren and letting him think about it and improve it.
(Sure enough, it's a problem.) Although it is said that Yu Xuan proposed the method first, but Xuanyuan Ren is really not a good thing, obviously he also wants to do this, but he wants to induce Yu Xuan to say, Yu Xuan is a subordinate is naturally compliant, and if something happens, he will naturally help wipe his ass! With such a customer, Yu Xuan wondered if he was following the wrong person. )
What to do? Yu Xuan is a responsible child, so he can't help but suffer together! Otherwise, the first one to condemn Yu Xuan to suffer, I'm afraid it will be this Twelve Highnesses Xuanyuan Ren.
It's the third day.
Yu Xuan came up with some clues, but he still didn't feel so good, a little inappropriate, but he didn't know how to improve it. Look, I'm sitting in the garden and thinking about it.
"Tomorrow is the beggar conference, let's hurry up and get ready."
Yu Xuan suddenly heard someone talking about something, and for a moment he seemed to think of something, and he did two in three steps, and he floated in front of a group of girls in the mansion in an instant.
"Sisters, brothers, I want to ask what the sisters were talking about just now?" Yu Xuan asked politely.
"Oh! It's Lord Chen! How interested in the affairs of our daughter's house. The leading girl laughed sharply at Yu Xuan.
"Sisters, brother, I'm really in a hurry, please stop teasing me." Yu Xuan was in a hurry.
"Alright, alright, we were just talking about the begging competition."
"There is a begging conference, a competition." Yu Xuan hurriedly came to Xuanyuan Ren's house, and when Xuanyuan Ren saw that it was Yu Xuan, he hurriedly sat down and asked, "Mr. is ......
"Yes, Yu Xuan is now completely ready, His Highness can ......"
The next day, the organizer of the Qiqiao Conference suddenly changed, and the unprecedentedly appointed Prince Xuanyuan Ren of the imperial court was in charge, and Yu Xuan was the presiding judge. On the second day, the begging conference gathered a lot of princes and aristocratic girls, but compared the rich ladies who accounted for the largest number in the past, and many new programs were added to the conference, first; Submit the most beautiful entry, and the materials are prepared by yourself. Second; Charity performances raise donations, and the submitted entries are auctioned as donations, etc. Third; Switch to a voting system, one person, one vote.
"Sir is really a good plan, the problem of fundraising has been solved in just a few days, and there are hundreds of thousands of taels more, sir, I want to use them to build a peaceful courtyard for my father, as a sign of filial piety."
"No, no," Yu Xuan called, "If Childe wants to show filial piety, don't do anything about it." Yu Xuan has a proposal......"
After the seven-day period, it is really rare to see the neatness in the court today, the old emperor who fished for three days and dried the net for seven days actually proposed to go to the early court, and these were originally absent and left early, and the idle officials who had been idle for a long time seemed to have arrived early to standby.
"Today, I am very happy that my twelve beloved sons have solved the problem of disaster relief funds, and some time ago they also solved the problems of Hezhou, Jiazhou, Shan'an and other places and military salaries......
"Xuan, give the twelve sons a pair of dragon and phoenix jade bottles, and a white tiger skin robe......
"Wait," suddenly a person jumped out and shouted, "Father, the son has something to do." ”
The eunuch who announced the decree stopped reading, and the old emperor motioned for the man to do the work first.
"Father, the son and son found out that some people used the name of raising disaster relief funds to enrich their own pockets, privately embezzled them to the decoration of their own courtyards, and accepted bribes in the name of fundraising......
"Father, this is pure slander, it's really nonsense," Xuanyuan Ren hurriedly jumped out and explained, "Erchen has never accepted any bribes, nor has he filled his own pockets, all the disaster relief funds have been distributed to the disaster areas in various places, and the rest has been handed over to the treasury for military purposes, and the misappropriation of disaster relief funds to the decoration and repair of his own courtyard is purely false, Erchen uses his own belongings, the source of the amount can be seen in detail, and the actual price of the account is evidence-based." Moreover, so is the son-in-law...... Xuanyuan Ren suddenly couldn't speak......
"Okay, okay, I have my own ideas on this matter, and Ren'er has worked hard for disaster relief, and I have made great contributions, and I will give it ......
Xuanyuan Ren finally got the appreciation of his old father this time, and valued it, in fact, Yu Xuan didn't let Xuanyuan Ren embezzle the disaster relief funds at the beginning, one; It is to create a good image of Xuanyuan Ren among the people and other righteous people, two; is also afraid that the five princes and other villains just now will have the opportunity to poke the backbone. Three; It was also to ask Xuanyuan Ren to show filial piety in front of his father, and let Xuanyuan Ren change the only house he had in the house into a courtyard for the emperor as a gift, and he lived in a courtyard attached to the property. The old emperor didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court, but he was addicted to fun, but he didn't want to be the king of the country, so he never dared to embezzle the court funds casually. And Xuanyuan Ren is also right in his arms now, and now the old confused father has finally noticed Xuanyuan Ren.
And why is there so many people attending the beggar conference? Why did Yu Xuan change a name similar to the Qiao Qiao Conference-Qiao Boudoir Club?
In fact, because Yu Xuan didn't want to ruin the beautiful holiday customs of ordinary women who have been inherited for a long time, because Yu Xuan wanted to use this festival as a means of business to develop, Yu Xuan deliberately spread the news of the conference, and secretly spread that this conference may be the emperor's selection of concubines, or it may be the ceremony of the princes' selection of concubines, and Xuanyuan Ren invited several idle princes who were not from the court to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the conference, and also sent invitations to invite all the ladies and daughters of famous families to come to the meeting. In this way, the conference was slowly turned into a large gathering of nobles, so that those rich merchants and petty officials who were greedy for vanity and wanted to associate with the upper class and set up relationships would all rush in. And as far as the comparison between the daughter's family is concerned, they can be kind to the auction show, and they all think that their family has a lot of money and must fight for face for the first time, so they spend a lot of money, and they offer their most valuable treasures one by one, and then they each throw back their own things or add something, so that some worthless things mixed in the middle are smashed into priceless treasures. And the voting session of the beauty pageant turned out to be a thousand votes, and a small break became a way for daughters and parents to show off their face. Yu Xuan looked at this people's coming-and-going conference, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What a group of ladies and ladies from famous families!" Hehe—suddenly Yu Xuan saw something interesting in it.
"This is a love work made by the second lady of the Zhenjun family when Jin Hai was young, and now there is a lady who wants it, this is the best work......
For a while, there was silence, no one under the seat answered, and when I saw that I was about to be embarrassed, someone suddenly shouted-"I want it." ”
Everyone at the table turned their eyes to the man, and it was Yu Xuan who spoke. As soon as Yu Xuan went up to get the calligraphy and painting, he bumped into a beautiful and dignified lady, Yu Xuan smiled and signaled to pass by, and went straight to the stage to receive the calligraphy and painting......
