In the Kunning Palace, the four masters sat opposite each other, competing for eyesight, and after a quarter of an hour, Zhang Rou, who was young, finally won the final victory in this staring competition.

The Empress Dowager Liu E blinked vigorously, moistened her dry eyes a little, and put on a shelf to make herself look more majestic: "Is it your girl who said she wanted to be the queen?" ”

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, it is the people's daughter!" Zhang Rou replied with a smile.

"Little girl, I don't know who gave you the confidence! The Emperor? "Liu E is in her forties, Zhang Rou is a child at best in her eyes, she is not angry with her, and she is bored and amused by the harem.

"Back to the Queen Mother, if the people are in front of others, they can be said to be the confidence given by the emperor, but they really can't say that in front of you. The reason why the people dare to ask for this queen is to take care of you and the two concubines for the emperor, so that the emperor can govern the country in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"Yo, the little girl is not small! The mourning family and the two sisters are doing well, and they don't need the emperor to spend much energy, and there are so many palace maids in this palace, you say it's far-fetched! Liu E ignored her cuteness and poked her heart.

Zhang Rou also found that the prospective mother-in-law in front of her was really an old and refined person, so it was not easy to fool! Since this trick doesn't work, let's give them something practical: "The benevolent name of the queen mother and the two concubines has spread to every corner of my Great Song Dynasty, even if the folk girls are thousands of miles away, they are like thunder!" ”

"Hehe, in the words of the emperor, the mourning family is not so easy to fool! Don't think that a few kind words will pass the test! ”

"How can it! Everything the folk girl said was from her heart. The women are very eager for you to start this charity fund, and you see if you can let the women follow your steps and help the people in need. The folk girl has a little bit of heart, and it is only 10 million, I hope you don't dislike it! ”

Burst! Concubine Yang next to her was originally tasting high-quality tea, watching the free play, but she was frightened by Zhang Rou's sudden 10 million. Don't underestimate this 10 million yuan, in the consciousness of Concubine Yang, this is a huge amount of money, equivalent to the original annual income of the imperial court, that I thought that the little pudding in front of me would open his mouth for 10 million, without frowning.

Empress Dowager Liu was also shocked, but after all, she was a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, and she quickly returned to normal. Although she is said to be the queen mother of a country, and ethically speaking, she is a person who stands on the tip of the pyramid of the Great Song Dynasty, but she really didn't have such a big sum of money in the real sense before. Of course, in the past few years, thanks to Huang Xing's blessing, the foundation has been managed well, and the total assets have reached more than 10 million.

Over the years, when Liu E and the three of them were bored, they would go to the villages around the capital to pay a private visit to Weifu, and every time they looked at the heartfelt gratitude of those who received help, the three of them would leave tears of happiness, which was also the driving force to support them to continue to make the charity fund bigger.

Therefore, at this moment, her mind is not so complicated, and she does not feel that Zhang Rou is showing off her wealth with herself like ordinary people.

"Since you have such love, then the mourning family will thank you on behalf of my Song people!" Liu E in line with the spirit of having money and not being in vain, she readily accepted Zhang Rou's donation, maybe the ancient royal family had such a stinky temper, and felt that the whole world should be their own, and if you want that little filial piety money, you can afford you.

What's the world? Zhang Rou can only complain weakly in the face of this special era, and her mouth has to be sweet: "Thank you to the Queen Mother for giving the people this opportunity!" ”

"Hmmm! It's good to be loving, but it's not okay to be a queen just by being loving! ”

"Empress Dowager Xie mentions! You see, I have a small gift here, specially prepared for the Queen Mother and the Princess. Zhang Rou had a smiling face, holding a small bottle in her paws, and lightly touched Liu E's side, uncovered the bottle cap and put it under their noses: "How is it?" Does it smell good? ”

"Well, incense! There's a lingering floral scent, what is this for? Empress Dowager Liu and the two concubines both nodded.

"Back to the Queen Mother, this is a collection of a variety of flowers, plus several plant extracts, carefully formulated, not only unique fragrance, but also can dispel prickly heat and relieve itching, refresh the mind, repel mosquitoes and protect the body, the people gave it a name - magic flower water." Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Zhang Rou showed her signature little tiger teeth again.

In the next hour, it became Zhang Rou giving a health and beauty course to the third mother-in-law. The three of them listened fascinated, and Zhang Rou also spoke with relish, as far as her level was concerned, it was the bottom level in her previous life, but she found three loyal fans here.

It is said that women are very strange, and if you can't get a big fart, you can make a storm in the city, and if you get there, you can get along in minutes, and it's as good as a string of pants.

However, no matter how much this sentence is finished, after Zhang Rou selflessly contributed a pair of mahjong that had been prepared for a long time, the four people who were still eager moved to the battlefield again, and the one who killed was called a dark place. Of course, in this process, Zhang Rou will inevitably have to make some blood to coax her mother-in-law - no, she will already wipe honey on her mouth, and the queen will scream a slap!

"Oops!" Zhang Rou, who had just finished firing the cannon, suddenly stood up screaming.

The three of them were happily pulling the gold leaves on the table, Leng Buding was startled by Zhang Rou's screams, and looked at her in a daze: "What's wrong?" ”

"Oops! It's all my fault, I forgot a very important thing, the emperor said that he would announce to the ministers today that I would be the queen. But you think, I'm just a businessman, a businessman who the minister despises the most, and they will definitely find ways to give the emperor a problem! What can I do? I'm in a hurry, it's all my fault, if I have a good identity, the emperor won't have to be so embarrassed......" Zhang Rou cried so much that it was called a rain with pear blossoms, of course, the kind without tears, and secretly glanced at Liu E's reaction from time to time.

Zhang Rou's words were like a needle, deeply stirring the string that Liu E buried in the depths of her heart. Once upon a time, he was like this, because of his humble status, as the emperor, in order to give himself a name, he fought with his father and his courtiers all his life, and even his queen mother was only obtained after the death of his lover.

Thinking of this, Liu E gritted her teeth, took Zhang Rou's hand and walked out.

The court did not make a lot of noise as Zhang Rou and others imagined, but it was very harmonious, and the harmony was a little weird.

Zhang Yaozuo was the first to stand up and express his approval, and then opened the curtain of the quarrel, and Yan Shu, as the prime minister, naturally stood up first: "Your Majesty, do you think the old minister is thinking about it?" Choosing a queen is not a trivial matter, let's also follow the regular process, select the show girl first, and then talk about the queen......"

Zhao Zhen didn't wait for him to say that I waved my hand to interrupt: "Miss Zhang Rou plans to donate 10 million yuan to the Criminal Department to reward outstanding case-handling personnel. ”

Yan Shu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and silently pushed back to his position.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say. You look for the queen, the minister is in favor, but after all, Miss Zhang Rou has been involved in the rebellion case......" Chen Zhizhong, the secretary of the ministry, then jumped out.

"Miss Zhang Rou plans to donate 10 million yuan to the Ministry of Officials to improve the living standards of good officials who are honest and diligent in political affairs." Zhao Zhen still said lightly.

"Uh......" Chen Zhizhong sighed for a long time, but he still couldn't bear the eyes of his subordinates, and retreated silently.

Later, Sun Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up, although he was grateful to Zhao Zhen from the bottom of his heart, but since he had achieved the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he couldn't help but come out and sing two lines of counter-tune: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Miss Zhang Rou is doing business in Jinling, Shinong Industry and Commerce, this business is the last ......"

Zhao Zhen didn't bother to listen to his clichés, so he directly threw him 10 million yuan: "Your etiquette department also has 10 million yuan, and Miss Zhang Rou asked you to build a few more schools and improve the treatment of teachers." ”

Sun Fu was also as good as a stream, and he didn't say anything when he got the money, and simply replied to his position neatly.

As soon as the ministers looked at the situation, they felt that what kind of queen was chosen today, it was purely to use money!

If there is such a good thing, how can it be left behind?

Subsequently, Zhang Zhibai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Fan Zhongyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, also stood up and found some fault casually, and after getting the money as they wished, they also remained silent.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households each received 10 million yuan, which were used for road construction and farmland water conservancy construction respectively.

In the end, there was only one military department left in the six departments of the State Council, and at this time, Yang Zongbao, the secretary of the military department, stretched his waist and wandered to the center of the main hall.

Before he could speak, Zhao Zhen gave the copper coin in a playful manner: "Yang Lao Mo should not be in a hurry, the military department also has 10 million yuan, and I will use it to improve the living standards of the border soldiers and their families." ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister is old, his bones are a little stiff, come out to do activities, thank the emperor for the reward! Thank you Miss Zhang Rou for your kindness! Yang Zongbao dropped this sentence and walked back with a smile.

Zhao Zhen held back an internal injury because of this, and the rest of the ministers were no better, they didn't have the capital of Yang Zongbao, so they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

It is said that the rest of the Supervision Yuan and the General Judgment Court are all Zhao Zhen's henchmen, and they don't have any reasons to use, so the reasons for making it have been used before. But the power of money is infinite, for the sake of that 10 million, Lu Zongdao, the superintendent of supervision, even if he is a lot old, he comes out to play helplessly. Even Bao Heitan, who is known for his fairness and strictness, and Bao Zheng, the president of the General Judgment Yuan, also made a false name and cut off 10 million.

Zhao Zhen gave them an excuse as usual, such as the Supervision Yuan, which was used to set up a supervision and reporting fund to reward important informants who effectively reported it. And the general court had no choice but to use it as a bonus, and by the way, amend a law or something.

Seeing that in addition to his own Privy Council, the other three and six departments had all received huge sums of money, Zhang Yaozuo had a bitter face: "Your Majesty, although the ministers have no objections, you can't favor one over the other!" ”

"Hahaha, Zhang Aiqing rest assured, I am not such an unparticular person, Miss Zhang Rou also gave the Privy Council 10 million yuan, but this money is not so easy to get, I want you to improve the map and terrain of my Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible, there must be no mistake!"

"Obey the order!" Zhang Yaozuo got the money and went back in a hurry.

"You have also seen that it is such a businessman whom you usually look down on, and she is still a little girl, and it took less than ten years for her family to save so much money, which can be described as a veritable rich country. If you're still embarrassed to be complacent about last year's harvest, I think you're really eating a vegetarian meal at the corpse, and I hope you'll do it for yourself. ”

"The ministers are guilty!"

"Alright! I'm finally going to make it clear to you, what about the money now! Indeed, it has been distributed among you. However, now that the money is still in Jinling, I have already negotiated with the Siqi Group, and will implement the Siqi Money Village throughout the country in the future. Siqi Money Village will also give up two layers of shares to me, and the remaining three layers of shares will be attributed to the imperial court, and the remaining merchants will jointly occupy the remaining five layers of shares, which means that in the future, this Siqi Money Village will be jointly established by the royal family, the imperial court and the people, and will assume the national financial tasks.

In the future, there may be more money banks, and I and my ministers, as the helm of the country, must take precautions, so I have decided to add an economic department under the household department to manage the affairs of the country's money banks. Therefore, the money that will be distributed to you now can only be applied to the cabinet when you need to use it after the money bank has been opened in various ways, and then you can use it according to the actual situation.

After the money matter is over, let's get down to business and continue to discuss the queen's affairs, and everyone will talk about their thoughts! ”

Tall! It's really high! The little emperor's brain is pretty good! I actually know how to play the trick of killing birds with one stone, how do I feel like I am scolding myself when I say this! Whoever cares about him, money is the most important thing, and all the major departments in the DPRK and Central China have received huge sums of money, and they don't have time to care about Zhao Zhen's tricks for a while.

10 million yuan, how to spend it? While thinking about how much they could get, the ministers lamented: It's not that I can't wait! It's really too powerful for the enemy's sugar-coated shells!

In order to prove that he is still a disciplined person, Prime Minister Yan Shu immediately considered the problem from the emperor's position after getting the money: "Your Majesty, do you know about your choice of the queen?" ”
