Chapter 373, Utilization
When Zeng Rong heard the "palm mouth twenty", he was immediately stunned and speechless.
Chang Dezi, who was standing at the door, heard the emperor shouting "Someone is coming", and there was a moment of silence in the room, and he guessed that Zeng Rong, who was so bold and able to speak well, was probably scared silly.
It really stumped him.
Really start fighting, if the emperor regrets it afterwards, he has to be angry with him, Xiaoquanzi is a lesson from the past, if you don't fight, the emperor has spoken, you can't resist and disobey the order, right?
Chang Dezi, who moved to the middle of the room step by step, knelt down and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”
"If you don't know whether to talk about it or not, then don't talk about it." Zhu Xu still doesn't know what Chang Dezi wants to say?
But this will be a breath in his heart, no, this breath has been blocked since last night, I thought that this morning I could find the initiator to be angry, but I don't know that this "culprit" is actually the queen mother.
Of course, he also knew that the queen mother was definitely not targeting him, this bowl of soup just happened to be in front of him, as for whether there was any secret or internal story behind this coincidence, he still didn't know for the time being.
It's not that it's complicated, it's that he doesn't want to face it for the time being.
But this stinky girl is good, she actually tore this fig leaf for him regardless of it, knowing that it was the queen mother who arranged for the girl surnamed Zhen to climb the bed, she said so, where is the queen mother?
Yes, he admitted that the queen mother was a little impatient about this, but the queen mother was also thinking about Zhu Heng, what does she know about a stinky country girl, why should she accuse the queen mother?
Zeng Rong was awakened by Father-in-law Chang's plea, and she knelt down when she came back to her senses, "Back to the emperor, the lower officials also have something to say." ”
Zhu Xu gave her a look and didn't open his mouth to allow her, but he didn't stop her either.
"Back to the emperor, does the emperor remember that the emperor promised to go down to the official?" Zeng Rong pouted and said, paused, and saw that the emperor still didn't respond to her, and said: "Back to the emperor, after twenty slaps, the lower official's face is not only swollen like a pig's head, but I'm afraid that even my ears will be deaf." Woo, deaf, the lower official will be kicked out of the palace, from now on, he will no longer be able to serve the emperor, and when the emperor wants to go down in the future, the lower official may be being bullied, maybe he is hungry, maybe he was sold to some hell again, and he can't die if he wants to live... ”
"Stop, what a mess, who would dare to sell you? Who would dare to bully you? Zhu Xuming knew that Zeng Rong was talking about it, but he still couldn't help but be brought into the scene she said.
"Back to the emperor, don't you think it's easy for a deaf person to beg for a living outside, right? You don't think that a deaf person will be respected by her husband's family after marrying, right? Xiaguan was sold by his stepmother once before entering the palace, and that time Xiaguan was alert, but if Xiaguan is deaf, how can he guarantee that he will not be sold again? Zeng Rong replied eloquently.
"Shut up, who told you that you could be beaten deaf with twenty slaps?" Zhu Xu finally realized where he was wrong, and he was almost fooled by this girl again.
"Back to the emperor, there was an example in the village before the lower official, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard it with my own ears, that person is still the family of the lower official, she had a miserable life in the future, not only disliked by her husband, but also disliked by her children." Zeng Rong is not lying, there are indeed similar incidents.
"Cheng Chengcheng, I won't beat you, then you say, how to punish you?" Zhu Xu's eyes once again appeared in front of her with the picture of Zeng Rong being miserable and disliked, and then thinking of her previous life experience when she was almost sold, where could she bear to punish her?
In case this person is not light or heavy, and really breaks this girl's ears, he will definitely be the only one who is distressed, but I am afraid that the father-son relationship that is easy to ease will have to return to the freezing point.
That's it, even if he doesn't think about this girl, he still has to think about his son, unless he really can't bear to want this son.
"Back to the emperor, the emperor might as well punish the official for two days of starvation, and then punish the official for three months." Although Zeng Rong doesn't think he is wrong, he always has to take care of the right side.
"Hmph, I know what you're capable of, and I don't care about a few taels of silver." Zhu Xu didn't want to let Zeng Rong go so easily.
"Then change one, hungry for two days?" Zeng Rong asked tentatively, still in exchange for a cold snort.
"Go back to the emperor, and the lower officials will embroider an ornament for the emperor again?"
"Back to the emperor, the lower officials embroidered a big pendant for the emperor?"
。。。
Zeng Rong changed several items, but he didn't get a nod from the other party, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, just say it directly, what do you want to do with the lower officials." ”
"It's simple, I really thought of one thing, it's quite suitable for you, and only you can do it." Zhu Xu really thought of something and glanced at Chang Dezi.
Chang Dezi received the signal, hurriedly got up from the ground, and went to the door to wait.
"Do you remember the reduction of agricultural mulberry in the old years?"
"Yes." Zeng Rong nodded, and in a flash of lightning, she thought of Zhu Heng's foreign home.
Isn't it, the emperor's mind is too incredible, going around for half a day, setting up such a bureau, and actually letting her be a lobbyist?
"Is it clear that the northern military camp is short of grain and grass this time?" Zhu Xu said again.
This time, Zeng Rong shook his head, and then nodded, "Back to the emperor, the lower officials suspected this matter, but it was not confirmed. ”
"Now it's confirmed." Zhu Xu didn't hide it from her.
As a female historian beside him, Zeng Rong will know about this sooner or later, and he has no need to hide it.
It turned out that this time Xu Fushan went to the north to inspect the grain and grass stocks of five border cities, all of which had varying degrees of deficits, and now if he wants to make up for this shortfall, it will definitely not be possible to rely on the household department alone, there is no way, he can only hit Zhu Heng with his idea.
This matter is directly related to the promotion of this year's reform of reducing the tax for agriculture and mulberry, and if we do not make up for the deficit of hundreds of thousands of stones, grain and grass, let alone those military generals, I am afraid that those officials of the household department will not approve of the tax reduction.
There is another thing, the reduction of agricultural mulberry endowment, this loss will inevitably be made up from handicrafts and commerce, but this resistance is not ordinarily big at present, so Zhu Xu urgently needs famous businessmen to take the lead in supporting him.
The Qian family is naturally the best candidate.
First of all, the Qian family is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the children of the clan are all over the industry of Shinong industry and commerce, many years ago there was a saying, the world is rich to see Jiangnan, and the wealth of Jiangnan looks at the Qian family, if the Qian family is the leader, the businesses in the Jiangnan area are basically safe.
Once Jiangnan is done, there is nothing to fear elsewhere.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that you want the lower officials to persuade His Royal Highness to persuade His Uncle to donate hundreds of thousands of stones, grains and grass, plus stand up to support commercial increases?" Zeng Rong distilled the key points and asked.
This difficulty is not ordinary, and she thinks that the other party's face is not ordinarily thick, or even shameless, but she doesn't dare to say it.
