Chapter Eighty-Nine: How Idle Officials Are Like Being Idle at Home
"If the queen mother wants to hang the lantern, she can tell someone to get it with the inner library, why bother? This is also Lao Yuandonghou's own efforts," Queen Wang sighed.
"A certain is idle, let them do something indiscriminately, Tianxing is filial, specially come to help, and it is not easy to stop it" The Queen Mother Dugu easily put the responsibility on Dugu Xinci.
The saint looked at Dugu Xinci with a bitter face with a smile, knowing that it must be the right time for him, how could this kid who was too lazy to even participate in the flower exploration banquet have the leisure to do such a complicated thing?
"Do you not rest today? How did you come to Tai Chi Palace? The saint then mocked.
"Back to the saint, serving the Queen Mother Lafayette is also the duty of the county order of Wannian County, I heard that the Queen Mother was worried about the poor lanterns of the Autumn Palace, and she was afraid of falling into the royal prestige, so she volunteered to help" Dugu Xinci also stabbed, and the saint also opened his mouth.
"I heard that the sage exempted the taxes and fees of Lijingmen, why did Dugu Ming Mansion force him to pay again?" When Queen Wang Yanran saw that the saint was deflated, she immediately spoke out to help.
"The saint is exempt from the taxes and fees of the Lijing Gate? Oh, I haven't been told by the household? "Dugu is kind and pretending to be stupid, but he is a good hand.
"Okay, play an official with this kid, see that no one in the entire court of Yan Tang is his opponent, at a young age, he has become an officialdom oil official?" The saint snorted disapprovingly.
"Queen Mother, are you still painting today?" Dugu Xinci shouted.
"Sage, Tianxing is also busy with official duties, so I finally found some time to help someone, you let him concentrate on it" The Queen Mother Dugu pretended to be unhappy, and the sage retreated.
After a while, Princess Yuzhen actually brought Wang Wei to visit, Wang Wei saw that there were so many people in Yiqiu Palace was very embarrassed, Dugu Xinci was very happy, and went to the year of the science and technology, Wang Shisanlang was a poetry and painting, and he was busy inviting him to paint together.
Wang Wei was a little embarrassed, looking at the sage and Princess Yuzhen, Dugu Xinci comforted, "This is a certain person who asks you for help, you have not treated you badly in Gongchuan, right?" Don't ask you to do something trivial, don't push and shove? Isn't it just a few light paintings? Isn't Thirteen Lang handy? After the snow melts, spring is coming, and Gongchuan is more fun, don't want to go again? ”
"Let you do it, just do it, remember not to take advantage of this kid in the future," the sage scolded Dugu Mingfu, the first county in the world.
So Wang Wei cheered up, first picked up Dugu Xinci's palace lamp painting and carefully figured it out, and was very impressed that "the painting skills of the Far Eastern Hou are also a must, this white drawing, hooking, splashing ink, smudging, are all skillful, although there are only a few brushes, but the idea is exquisite, extraordinary."
"Less nonsense, have you seen Journey to the West? Those Bodhisattva Buddhas were written by you, "Dugu Xinci glared, finish the painting early, finish it early."
Wang Wei then cheered up, regarded this palace lamp painting as a nobleman, and began to paint carefully.
Wang Wei has been smart since he was a child, he has a chapter, he has a pen for painting, and the small palace lamp character painting is naturally caught, Dugu Xinci soon began to be lazy, guiding him how to change the scene, not only painting characters, but also painting some story scenes.
What Sun Wukong beats the white bone spirit three times, Chang'e Pan Tao will be drunk and dance to the moon, Zhu Bajie carries his daughter-in-law, Tang Sanzang does not eat the fruits of life, with the idea, Wang Wei is more and more comfortable to paint, Zhang Zhanggu is ready for form and spirit, and the saint is also surprised again and again, Princess Yuzhen is even more in front of the queen mother, blowing a few lamp paintings to the sky and the earth, and the Queen Mother Dugu is also smiling.
"Thou hast been idle today? I heard that the land tax and household tax are half in storage? The saint was not surprised, and pulled Dugu Xinci to interrogate.
"Thanks to the blessing of the saints, the officials of Wannian County are in place, the land tax and household tax are endless, and today the canal repair fee has begun to be collected."
"The canal repair fee has also been collected? So fast? Didn't use any means, did you? The saint was a little uneasy.
"The sage also underestimated the people's desire to serve the country, and as soon as he announced that he needed to levy a canal repair fee, everyone enthusiastically paid it, and even the temples and Taoist temples also made donations?" Dugu Xinci screamed.
"Temple Taoist donation?" The saint is even stranger.
"Yes, seeing that there is a tide of affection, there is a special limit on the maximum amount of donations?" The lonely heart is kind.
"The temple Taoist temple is not so generous, is it?" Queen Wang Yanran also didn't believe it.
"The queen can't ignore the patriotism of the monks and the real people" Dugu was speechless, slandering you and thinking that everyone was like you?
"What the hell is going on?" The saint glared.
So Dugu Xinci said about the establishment of the preparatory committee and the allocation of the ferry warehouse and mansion, and the sage understood a little.
"But those warehouses need to be closed?" The queen was dissatisfied.
"If you often close your position, you need to find a dangerous place, these mansions and warehouses can be adapted to local conditions, and it is a lot of income to use those tidal flats for auction," Dugu sighed.
"Your strategy is good, can Song Xianggong know about it?" The saint praised that donating a little more for repair would also be more help.
"Isn't there an explanation for the dredging of the canal in Wen Lang? The notice of the household department also has this policy? Dugu Xinci said, and the household department also said lightly that the repair of the canal will be used by the people, and the warehouse can be used by the merchants.
The sage recalled, vaguely remembered this chapter, but before thinking that those tidal flats were afraid that they would be of great use, who would bother to go to the border land to repair the pavilion?
"You are also the joint director of the Cao Canal Repair Co-Signatory, and the affairs of Wannian County are simple, so you need to put more thought into the Cao Canal," the sage taught.
"It is said that Dugu Ming Mansion said that if the inner treasury also pays taxes and fees, there will also be a source of wealth?" Queen Wang suddenly asked again.
"Is there one?" Dugu Xinci pretended to think about it, "Could it be some drunken nonsense?" ”
"Thou hast many evil ideas, and if thou canst really do it for the benefit of the country and the people, even if it is pleased," the sage shouted.
"How many thousand dollars of taxes and fees are owed in the inner treasury?" Dugu is shy.
"Let's talk about it first, is it worth a few thousand yuan?" The queen pressed the anger.
"Thousands of business? I really can't think of it," Dugu Xin pretended to be cute.
"The queen will send someone to pay that business tax tomorrow" The sage sighed, how could this son put thousands of yuan of business in his eyes, Feng Yuanyi is now back on the stove to make a stove ventilation pipe, and I am afraid that the income will be more than a few thousand yuan in the past two days?
"The saint has a will, and it is enough to obey it, but don't lose your trust if you still look at the Yuandong Hou" Queen Wang gritted her teeth.
"Oh, the sage has been exempted from the tax burden of the merchants in the inner treasury, if it is exempted, it will be exempted" Dugu Xinci is still selling obediently.
"Thou shalt . . ." The sage was furious, "Thou shalt tell so-and-so about thy strategy now, and if thou can't satisfy the-so, thou shalt return the taxes and fees of the Lijingmen."
"The saint is angry, why is this? Isn't the tax on the treasury handed over to the right hand? "Dugu's heart is kind and consoling.
The saint and the queen were even more speechless.
Dugu Xinci saw that the first saint and the queen were on the verge of rage, and hurriedly said a strategy, which made the two most honorable people in Yan Tang stunned.
Dugu Xinci's strategy is very simple, Tang people are good at gambling, Shuanglu, throwing Lu, throwing pots, long lines, leaf play, not to mention polo, step ball, Go, no gambling is not a play, Dugu Xinci just expands this game, in the name of repairing the Cao Canal to issue lottery tickets, that is, guess the zodiac, a kind of zodiac every month, if the purchaser wins in this zodiac, you can multiply the 12 times the payout, if you give each zodiac with four numbers, the number can also pay 48 times.
Needless to say, buyers must be flocking to it, and they all saw that this was a big deal.
"If there are many in the middle, won't you lose money?" Queen Wang asked deliberately.
"Why did the queen ask such and such a fairy tale?" Dugu Xinci expressed contempt, and he was a king and a queen, and he didn't understand how to cheat when he was a banker?
The queen blushed rarely, and the saint stopped talking, but asked, "Why didn't you inform Feng Daban of this strategy?" "The saint's Feng companion is Feng Yuanyi, the head of Lijingmen.
"The teacher must be famous" Dugu sighed, the two of them understood in seconds, on the grounds of repairing the canal to raise funds is the best excuse, the court is not good at operating gambling, and the inner library has no scruples. Not all people in the world are fools, and everyone knows that gambling is not beneficial, but playing a good flag can hide the purpose of making a profit.
"A certain tomorrow will send someone to Wannian County to pay taxes," Queen Wang was very happy this time.
"I won't thank the queen, it's the saint who should thank the queen" Dugu Xinci was a little happy, and he spoke unscrupulously, the saint was angry but couldn't get angry, Wannian County collected taxes for Yan Tang, and for Yan Tang was naturally for the saint.
What's going on? Do you have to thank yourself for paying your own taxes?
"If you don't pay taxes, you are afraid that some corrupt officials will enrich your own pockets," the queen defended her violation.
"The queen is extremely worried" Dugu's perfunctory kindness made the saint and the queen very annoyed.
"Since the inner treasury has paid taxes, if there is anyone who evades taxes and evades taxes, a certain person will first find you to settle accounts" The sage gritted his teeth and threatened.
"The tax payment is the responsibility of the Si Cangwei and the people of the company, and the order of a county is only responsible for the responsibility" Dugu Xinci's fluttering words made the two even more angry.
"Then investigating you for dereliction of duty is against Tang Law?" The queen mended the knife again.
"The autumn tax is delayed, there is a division to ask and behead, and the chief official sits together" Dugu Xinci explained, seeing that the two were overjoyed, "This is the policy of the violent Qin, and everyone who uses this example will die in the country"
The faces of the saint Yan Hong and the queen Wang Yanran are undoubtedly very exciting.
The queen brushed her sleeves to see Wang Wei's lantern painting, and the sage kicked Dugu Xinci with hatred and went to talk to the queen mother.
The queen mother beckoned Dugu Xinci to come over, "The saint has beaten you?" ”
"Yes, as the saying goes, beating is kissing and scolding is love, and beating people is probably a way for saints to express their grace, right?" Dugu Xinci opened his mouth to be nonsense.
This time, the queen mother was also angry, and knocked Dugu Xinci on the calf twice with a cane, "Then is this a spoiled by you?" ”
"It's so cold in the sky" Dugu Xinci raised his eyes to look at the sky, and the saints and Concubine Wu Hui around him were stunned, and they all sneered after thinking about it.
"Your joke is really cold" The saint was also happy, the queen mother said that she spoiled him to heaven, but he obviously stood on the ground but said that the sky was really cold, it was really like going to heaven.
Dugu looked at the sky with compassion, and saw that Wang Weishang was painting attentively, and knew that there was nothing to do with himself here, so he wanted to leave.
"You don't like it, it's not fun and delicious here, right?" The Queen Mother was not happy.
"What did the Queen Mother say? Dugu Mingfu is going to the county party to manage the government," the sage explained for him.
"That's right, Tianxing is also Dugu Mingfu? Are you not allowed to be a corrupt official? ”
"He definitely can't be a corrupt official, and it's hard to talk about a dumb official," the saint laughed again.
"If there is something good at the top, it will be very good at the bottom," Dugu muttered kindly.
"Thou shalt . . ." The sage's ears are sharp, and he can understand it, this kid said that you are a faint monarch and a faint official, "You are the head of a thousand counties, and the Ming Mansion is the order of a county, and you must set an example for the orders of thousands of counties in the world."
"Wannian County is the first county in the world, you use dim sum to do things, and the sage will remember you," the queen mother also advised.
"Isn't there still a second or third in the world? As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and a certain person is not compared with them, "lonely heart and arrogance." "I'm afraid I'll hurt them"
"What about this lamp painting?" The Queen Mother asked again.
"The queen mother is looking for Princess Yuzhen, and if you can't find a saint to ask for a few Hanlin edicts, in the end, you won't sell the face of the queen mother, and you will crawl to the queen mother to do this well" Dugu Xinci made a move.
The sage picked up the lamp painting of Wang Wei and Dugu Xinci, and reprimanded, "You don't have to worry about painting?" You look at Master Wang, one stroke and one stroke with more care, what is this? A person is perfunctory with a few strokes and a few strokes? ”
"Is that a freehand painting good?" Dugu Xinci defended that "too many strokes will shade the light"
"You can talk nonsense, get out" The saint disliked.
"Come here to eat when you are resting," the Queen Mother Dugu shouted.
"Okay" Dugu Xinci said hello to Queen Wu Huifei, and asked Wang Wei if he would go to Taizipo after two ****, are you interested in going with him? Wang Wei thought about it, and said that he needed to go to the right side of the province to make up for the problem in the past few days, and Dugu Xinci laughed at him for what was so fun about making up for the right side, and it was better to be a good Hanlin bachelor for this promising job.
Dugu Xinci fled in the eyes of everyone's dissatisfaction.
The saint stayed with his concubine for a while and then said goodbye, Princess Yuzhen's Yuzhen view is in the Fuxing Fang in the west corner of the palace, it is very close, you can stay for a while.
Concubine Wu Hui and the saint queen sat in the same carriage, and said with a smile that the saint really loved Dugu Xinci, and said that it was better to recruit him as a son-in-law and become a family.
The sage thought about it, "The one of the right age is Junluan, but I heard that there was a conflict between the two"
"It doesn't matter if there is a conflict between the two, they are both young people, these are easy to solve, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to pass the pass of Concubine Qian De" The queen thought further, the third princess of Yan Junluan and King Wu are brothers and sisters of the same mother, King Wu is now deprived of the title, and the title of the king of the county is still being sealed.
"Jun Luan's temperament can't control this kid" The saint has a headache "Don't mention this matter"
Concubine Wu Hui also mentioned that Yin Li Yuanhong, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, brought his wife and daughter to the county palace yesterday, and said that the Far Eastern Marquis said that human flesh was not delicious, which frightened the little lady of the Li family into crying.
"Concubine Hui is very concerned about the Liaoyang County Palace," Queen Wang suddenly said in a cold voice.
"Li Yuanhong's lady and Concubine Hui are handkerchiefs" The sage explained, he naturally knew about the gathering in the Dugu County Palace yesterday, and Feng Yuanyi went on the order of the sage, "This son said that the matter of eating human flesh is not nonsense, you know it, don't spread it around"
Queen Wang and Concubine Wu Hui were shocked.
Not to mention the fact that the saint and the concubine returned to the palace here, Dugu Xinci went back to the county party, and saw that everyone had been busy for a long time and did not feel embarrassed.
Then, in the eyes of everyone looking at monsters, Shi Shiran took the duty in advance.
There are no major events in the eighth and ninth days of the first month, the constitution of the preparatory committee has also come out with an outline, Wei Qing's lantern festival exhibition has also taken shape, and Dugu Mingfu only said a summary, not only to promote the merits of the repair of the canal, but also to promote the tax activists by the way.
The tax money of the eighth inner treasury has been paid, and Dugu Xinci took several points of sale for the Star Picking Tower and the Wannian County Lantern Festival, and worked hard to instill the benefits of decentralized sales and fair redemption to the steward who came to pay the tax, and promised to vigorously help publicize the Caoqu lottery issue.
This steward is also the confidant of the queen and the queen, shrewdness is naturally the basic professional ethics, and he understands the meaning of Dugu Mingfu in seconds, and he will go to the queen to say it.
Peisheng can also be full of victory, and the official leisure is like being idle at home.
There are still peach blossoms in Xuandu, and they visit the West Lake.
