The main hall of Qian Qianyi's mansion, which used to be luxurious and full of high-ranking officials, has been completely transformed into a hall that can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

At this time, although it was already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, there was still the treasurer of the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty on duty, and there were many officials who lined up here one after another to receive the reward issued by Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

Huang Zongxi, editor of the Hanlin Academy and the Institute of Mathematics of the Daming Academy of Sciences, looked at the luxurious mansion of Qian Qianyi in the past, and sighed that the Qian Mansion in the past could not be entered by non-dignitaries, but now both officials and citizens can step in and out at will, and it is for the word silver money, which can be said to have completely turned this Qian Mansion into a copper stinky place.

Huang Zongxi was behind an official from the eighth grade, and he was too lazy to cut the queue because he was a positive seventh grade, and he could receive a generous sum of money at the end of the year for the New Year, which was already content for a poor official like him who had little power, and he also saw several low-level officials of the seventh and eighth grades wearing patched shirts and smiling and leading a bag of silver dollars out.

Huang Zongxi was a thinker of the same name as Gu Yanwu and Wang Fuzhi in the late Ming Dynasty, and he also regarded commerce as an important industry as agriculture, and even hoped to restore the prime minister's responsibility system in terms of political thought, which was very consistent with Zhu Youzhen's current policy of developing commerce and strengthening the responsibility system of the cabinet's first assistant, so Huang Zongxi was very much in agreement with the current emperor's policy, and now he admired Zhu Youzhen even more that the silver system at the end of the year was released, which not only solved the worries of many poor officials, but also solved his own worries about food and clothing.

An hour later, Huang Zongxi, like the other officials, happily walked out with more than 1,300 silver dollars and receipts.

Full 1,300 yuan of silver coins, Rao is the housing price in Nanjing City is getting more and more expensive, but you can still afford to buy a good mansion, Huang Zongxi's parents have been punished because of the party struggle of the Apocalypse Dynasty, the family business has long been not as good as before, Rao is his move, but because he is not good at making a living, so he is not very rich, and now he is called to Nanjing to study arithmetic is still just relying on some money sent by his family to live, and naturally he is still living by renting a house in Nanjing City.

"This is 1,300 silver coins, you take it, Uncle Wang will come later, you pay him the rent we owe, save it and wait for the family's money to make up for it, by the way, ask Uncle Wang, there are good houses to buy in this area", Huang Zongxi put a bag of silver in front of his wife, Huang Zongxi's wife was stunned for a while: "Where did the master get so much money?" ”

"Issued by the imperial court, and there will be every year in the future", Huang Zongxi smiled, and his wife smiled and hugged the bag of silver coins and said: "I have never seen so many silver coins in my life, it is really beautiful, it can be seen that the world is indeed good now, and the emperor is getting better and better, lord, the portrait of the person on this coin is really Your Majesty today?" ”

……

If you have money, you are a good person, and Zhu Youzhen, the emperor, is the same, if you are rich, you can win over the ministers, and now this rich fortune is released, and most of the officials have forgotten the cruelty of Zhu Youzhen in the past, and they all read Zhu Youzhen's goodness.

However, because of this, the commercial market of the whole Ming Dynasty during the Spring Festival holiday is more active than in the past, the purchasing power of the masses has increased substantially, the flower boats on the bank of the Qinhuai River and the Qinlou Chu Pavilion have been lit all night from the twenty-fourth of the lunar month to the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the voices of the people are boiling, countless people are there to spend gold (fine) and sprinkle silver, and the New Year's goods of the shops everywhere are also sold out in an instant, some of the nearby farmers who enter the city to sell agricultural and sideline products are full of baskets and enter the city in the early morning, and they go back empty before noon.

Coupled with the stimulation of large-scale lending some time ago, the new shops and businesses in Yingtianfu and its surrounding areas are several times that of the past, and they are counting on these markets before the Spring Festival when they are the hottest to make more money, so that the entire outer city of Nanjing City is now full of people for several miles, as if fighting.

Chen Hongshou intended to have another Nanjing city version of "Qingming Riverside Map", so he had already lived on the upper floor of Nanjing City for several days, and Zhang Dai was drunk in a boatload of mother's boats all day because he got a lot of money.

Qin Liangyu, who had been appointed by Zhu Youzhen as a special envoy and the title of prince and prince, was accompanied by Ma Shiying, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and entered the city of Nanjing.

Qin Liangyu was ordered to enter Beijing, Zhu Youzhen naturally did not forget that there is such a meritorious female general in the Ming Dynasty, and he was busy dealing with the Qing army's iron cavalry southward and reforming the tax administration, so that Zhu Youzhen has not had time to meet this female general, but now Shizhu Tusi is already at the junction of the Daxi regime of the Ming Dynasty and Zhang Xianzhong, and it may become the forefront of the Ming Dynasty's recovery of Sichuan in the future, and Qin Liangyu is the most familiar with the veteran of Sichuan, and has the highest prestige among the Ming officers and soldiers in Sichuan who have not surrendered Zhang Xianzhong. Zhu Youzhen naturally met this legendary figure in advance.

On the 28th day of the lunar month, Zhu Youzhen officially met Qin Liangyu in the Qianqing Palace, and the Forbidden City at this time began to be as busy as outside the palace.

Zhu Youzhen himself also changed into a new dragon robe, and waited for the arrival of the loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu, accompanied by the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, the eunuch Shi Kefa, and the scholar of Wuyingdian and the secretary of the military department, Ma Shiying.

Qin Liangyu was already old at this time, her sideburns were white, but she still looked sassy and heroic, straightened her chest, and walked into the palace in a tiger striped python robe, but when she saw the blackened walls and cracked jade steps in the palace, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised, the Nanjing city outside the palace was full of flowers, and the palace of His Majesty in the palace still seemed to be uncarved, which shows the virtue of His Majesty today, and it is not surprising that Jiannu can be defeated by such a majesty.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty!"

Seeing that an old child was about to give himself a big gift, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly ran down from the throne, personally helped Qin Liangyu up, exempted him from the big gift, and immediately gave him a seat.

However, at this time, Qin Liangyu asked for the guilt again: "Weichen failed to hold Sichuan, causing thieves to poison Xishu, it is Weichen's dereliction of duty, for His Majesty's reward, Weichen is really ashamed, please Your Majesty take back your life, and cure Weichen's crime of failing to defend Sichuan!" ”

"Old General Qin doesn't have to blame himself so much, it's not your fault that the thief Zhang Xianzhong invaded Sichuan, your Shizhu Tusi has exhausted countless children for the Ming Dynasty, and I rewarded you to comfort these white-pole soldiers who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, these are the children of your Shizhu Tusi, and they are also my loyal ministers and good generals, Aiqing was named a marquis, it should be completely deserved, and there is no objection from the Manchu Dynasty!"
