Zhou Shuren walked behind the little eunuch and breathed a sigh of relief, he had spent a lot of effort these days, and the household department was a place of hard work, and in just a few days, he felt that he would live a year less.

In the main hall, the royal family looked at the excerpt leisurely, and was in a good mood today, not only did 500,000 taels of silver come in, but there would be more in two days, and the silver for the resettlement of the southern flood and the silver for repairing the embankment also came out.

The emperor didn't raise his head when he heard the footsteps, "Did you try to come out?" ”

The prince went to see Zhou Shuren to take leave with his father, and when he saw the minister in the palace, he couldn't hide it from anyone, so it was better to be generous, "No, Zhou Shuren's reply seemed to be rigorous but left live words, and his son still had doubts in his heart." ”

The emperor didn't think about the past, whether Zhou Shuren's small actions behind his back or no action, the result was good, and he didn't need to investigate, "Sometimes it's better to be confused, you're still too young." ”

This one thing takes a lot of effort and is not worth it.

The prince bowed his head and was taught, "My son understands." ”

The emperor continued: "Whether it is Zhou Shuren or hundreds of officials, it is not too late for them to prune more and more, but if they are challenged again and again, then there is no need to be soft on them, son, you have to have a yardstick to measure officials." ”

His scale is not suitable for the prince, which requires the prince to explore his own scale and bottom line, and when the prince understands how to use and control it, he can rest assured.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren went home, which surprised the whole family.

Zhulan asked, "Why did you come back today?" ”

Zhou Shuren moved his shoulders, "The silver has been calculated, and now with the silver donated by the Xu family, the household department is not nervous, and they will all go home to rest today." ”

Zhulan took a change of clothes, and took advantage of Mrs. Song's daughter to go out and ask, "How much did the Xu family donate?" ”

"Five hundred thousand taels of silver."

Zhulan's eyes widened, "My God, just take out 500,000 taels of silver, this Xu family is really deep enough." ”

And it's a day's work, I only got a hint yesterday, this is not raised, this is the Xu family's existing deposit.

Zhou Shuren sighed, "I can also think of so much, when we met the Xu family at that time, the Xu family was just a small businessman, how many years has it been, and it has been backed by the prince, I don't know how many times." ”

Zhulan grasped the key point, "So the maritime merchant really makes money, but Master Xu is also a character, and the small businessman we saw at the beginning may also be the Xu family!" ”

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes, "Who knows, this time the Xu family got their wish." ”

Zhou Shuren saw that there was no one in the house, and whispered in his daughter-in-law's ear what the prince said, "Wait a while to go to the study, I will talk to Chang Lian, and you can also say a few words to the third daughter-in-law." ”

Zhulan nodded, "I see." ”

At the dinner table, Chang Lian waited for his father to take a seat, "Dad, the matter of donating silver, the Hanlin Academy will send it to the household department tomorrow after the statistics are completed." ”

Zhou Shuren ate two mouthfuls of vegetables and cushioned his stomach before saying, "You are a Shujishi, how much have you donated?" ”

Chang Lian said: "My family is good, I donated ten taels, and the other Shu Jishi families are not very good, one tael, two taels are also available, but the most in our house is ten taels." ”

Rong Chuan answered: "There are not many people in our room, and the most is ten taels. ”

Zhou Shuren said that he knew, and he would do what he could, "Send it early tomorrow, so as not to queue up in the back." ”

In the past, it was to queue for silver, but this time it is for cashiers.

Chang Lian was curious, "Dad, what about you?" How much money are you going to give? ”

Zhou Shuren remembered that he hadn't mentioned it to his daughter-in-law yet, "Five hundred taels, the Zhou family has just entered Beijing, although they have moved several times, they have not been investigated." ”

Zhulan, "......."

Ah, I'm going to lose five hundred taels again, I spent so much silver at once, Zhulan was worried, this is still a few months away from sending the silver, I was already calculating the silver spent, but now my hands are a little tight!
