The emperor's heart was beating, Xiao Qing didn't have anything to say, his eyes fell on the ministers of the court, and he thought of the merchants in the capital, the Xu family donated silver well, and the donation was also on point, when the army returned to the city, he saw that all the ministers looked at him, "It is indeed a reward, the Xu family made a meritorious service last year, and this year donated silver to the imperial court to solve the shortage of silver in the treasury, and passed the decree to allow the grandchildren of the Xu family to participate in the imperial examination." ”

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, ah, there was a precedent, and now everyone is in the Hanlin Academy, which is a grace for the Xu family's merchants.

Zhou Shuren knew that it would be this reward, the reward of gold and silver, the Xu family took 500,000 taels, it was really not only gold and silver, but also the words written by the prince, the emperor must be reluctant to write, the emperor's words sometimes have a big effect, so it can only be an opportunity to change the family.

This is not any loss to the emperor, and he got 500,000 taels for nothing, no, not just 500,000 taels, Shinong Industry and Commerce, too many people want to change the court, well, his wave of dark operation is good, the household has silver this time, he is really not afraid of a big flood in Jiangnan.

Xiao Qing, "The emperor is sage." ”

Then they all shouted the emperor Shengming.

Xiao Qing took another step forward and said: "Although the old minister's consciousness is late, he is also willing to donate silver, and the old minister will donate 1,000 taels to do his part for the court." ”

Ministers of the court, "......"

Therefore, you can't let the head of the household book take the initiative to speak, as soon as you open your mouth, it is a big deal.

The minister of the first product was silent, and the second product of the household department Shangshu, they had to take more than 1,000 taels.

Six and five other books have a black face, one thousand taels, this is not a small amount, don't look at the usual buying an antique and ancient book is not ambiguous, it seems that it is not bad silver, and it can be seen that the return is still the silver that was donated by the pit, they are not only awkward in their hearts, but also want to eat Xiao Qing.

Zhou Shuren counted his stall, from the third grade, no, it should also be counted in the third grade, who let him temporarily replace the official position of the third grade, silently, there is not much silver left in the family!

A few princes really vomited blood, they were just pitted by the household, which pit them again, the prince, although they were not crowned kings, but they also have news, their father intends to be crowned kings, otherwise, they will not play with their lives to brush their filial piety, this silver is not easy to take!

The second prince stared at the crown prince, and then peeked at his father, his father's smile was the same as usual, but he could feel that his father was really happy, and he was happy to be his father this time.

But the problem, he is not his father, he is the second prince, and there is a prince on it, looking back at the third child, well, there is a comparison of the third child, he feels a little more comfortable.

Zhang Jingshi glared at the second brother, don't look at it, he knew that he was the worst, he spent 200,000 yuan and set up a collection, and he was happy to honor his father, and his father could also see his care.

But today's prince's actions, he got it, and the limelight was robbed by the prince.

The fourth prince Zhang Jingxi was silent, they jumped up and down, and the crown prince was the winner.

The emperor saw everyone's expressions in his eyes before he spoke: "Aiqing has the heart of the court, I am very moved, but all officials do not have family backgrounds, and I don't say anything if I have family backgrounds. ”

Xiao Qing said solemnly: "The old minister must have checked carefully." ”

Zhou Shuren raised his head, and sighed in his heart, he didn't expect the emperor to think about it so much, thinking that it would be one-size-fits-all, and he recognized the emperor more.

The emperor continued: "The monarch and the ministers are united, and I will also donate 100,000 taels of silver, which will then be sent to the household department. ”

This 100,000 taels, he has already prepared, this is for the household, although the household is not short of silver now, but now there is a better reason to send silver, than to send it secretly to win the hearts of the people!

At this time, there was no need for Xiao Qing to take the lead, and they shouted long live the emperor.

It's time to go down, Zhou Shuren and Lord Xiao walked together, yesterday they were still around Lord Xiao to ask for silver, and now they will snort when they walk over.

Xiao Qing blew his beard, "Look at their attitude, they are embarrassed to hum with me, I haven't asked them for silver yet, I still hum, I will take care of the door of the household department when I go back, and no one wants silver." ”

Zhou Shuren, "My lord, let's go back quickly, it's time to deliver the silver in a while." ”

Xiao Qing had a smile on his face again, "Yes, let's go back." ”

It's a pity that Zhou Shuren couldn't go back, and a little father-in-law stopped Zhou Shuren, "Lord Zhou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited." ”

Zhou Shuren was full of question marks, "Prince? ”

"Yes, the prince is in the gazebo in front, please go this way."

Zhou Shuren didn't know the little eunuch, but Xiao Qing did, "Go!" ”

Zhou Shuren was relieved, with Lord Xiao to check it, there should be no problem, "My lord, go down to see the prince, you go back first!" ”

Xiao Qing smiled, "Okay." ”

As for why the prince is looking for Zhou Shuren, he is not curious, for them, the emperor's confidants, as long as the prince continues to stabilize and not die by himself, the next emperor will definitely be the prince.

Zhou Shuren arrived at the pavilion, and the prince was indeed in the pavilion, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhang Jingchen stood by the pavilion and looked at the lake, "Lord Zhou, yesterday the housewife of the Xu family went to the Zhou Mansion and heard that she got two good paintings. ”

Zhou Shuren has a bottom in his heart, the prince is puzzled by the actions behind him, the prince is not puzzled to have a problem, anyway, he can't admit that he was killed, and said with a smile: "This painting prince should have seen, there is a pair of Ning Fu sent, and another is bought by the painting building, this is still Ning Hou Ye took Chang Lian and Rong Chuan to the painting building to buy, Hanlin Yuan Xiu Mu, his wife went to the painting building and did not buy a painting, the son was filial, so he honored his wife with the painting in the room." ”

The painting was indeed taken from the third room, and this time the painting could not be replaced, and when he went back, he sent Chang Lian a copy from the ancient books in his collection.

The prince listened, this is in line with the news he inquired, Lord Zhou's wife did go to the painting house and did not buy a painting, it seems that the family's silver is not enough, at the beginning of the year, the Zhou family invested a large amount of silver in the northeast.

The prince didn't believe it all when he heard it, but Zhou Shuren had a lot of twists and turns, and he had a good ability, so he had only been in the household department for a long time, and the household department had the silver, "In this way, the wind is rising, it is going to rain, and the lonely person has gone back." ”

Zhou Shuren lowered his head, "Congratulations to the prince." ”

Zhang Jingchen took two steps and paused, "Lord Zhou has to take care of his body." ”

After saying that, he left quickly.

Zhou Shuren waited for the footsteps to go away and raised his head, a gust of wind blew, and his heart was cold, he used to feel that the prince seemed to be thinking about him, this time he felt accurate, take care of his body and bones and continue to work hard for the royal family, no, no, he waited for his son to get up, he must be a minister, bah, he didn't want to boil his hard work.
