After the ceremony, it is time to confer the rank of non-commissioned officer of the current branch.

Shao Jing was appointed to the Ministry of Household Finance to be the director of the Eight Products of the Yiyi Case because of the previous borrowing of money from Fanshang in Mingzhou, specializing in the affairs of the city and commercial taxes.

As soon as the decree came out, it caused a small shock.

It's just that although this position is a small official position, its role is not small, and it has always been filled by experienced and well-versed in finance, and there are too few young people like Shao Jing.

And according to the usual practice, the new branch scholars are generally sent to local posts, and there are very few who stay directly in the DPRK and enter the Sixth Ministry.

Why is he Shao Jing so special? Just because people are good-looking, good at juju, can play polo, can hug the thick legs of the king of Pu'an, and will they please Jinshang?

There are many people who know the contradiction between Shao Jing and Zhou Xiang, and there are many objections, the emperor only listens and does not express his position, and Shao Jing is as stable as Mount Tai.

When everyone was almost noisy, the emperor asked Zhou Xiang: "Zhou Qing is the head of the hundred officials, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Xiang glanced back at Shao Jing and said with a smile: "Everyone opposes Shao Tanhua taking this position, just because they feel that he is too young and not very reassured. If Shao Tanhua can prove his ability, everyone will have nothing to say. ”

The emperor said with a smile: "How to prove it?" ”

Zhou Xiangzheng said: "Your Majesty, there has been a serious shortage of money in Beijing recently, resulting in no way to buy and sell, and can only barter, grain prices and cloth are becoming less and less valuable. Shao Tanhua is very smart, and she thinks there is a way to solve this matter. ”

The courtiers exchanged glances with each other, some gloating, others worried and suspicious.

This is not the first time that a money shortage has happened.

It is not that the number of coins minted by the imperial court is insufficient, but that the wealthy families of this dynasty are fond of accumulating money in the "town treasury", many of which reach more than one million, and hundreds of thousands are not a few, resulting in a number of coins becoming dead things, and there are fewer and fewer coins that can be circulated and used on the market.

As a result, department stores could not be circulated, and the people's lives were inconvenient, and they could not pay taxes in the form of money, resulting in the imperial court also having no money to use.

This kind of thing can't be solved by simply increasing the amount of coinage minted, let alone by a hairy boy who hasn't dried up, you know, many big businessmen who are more sophisticated and experienced than Shao Jing can't do it.

Xiaoyang immediately came forward to object: "Father, the son thinks this move is inappropriate, Shao Tanhua has just entered the court, and he is not familiar with these things, and some strongmen are difficult." ”

Zhou Xiang smiled slightly: "Lord Jun, it is precisely because I am not familiar with it that I need to go down to the place to observe the people's situation and practice again." ”

The emperor did not express his position immediately, but only asked Shao Jing: "Shao Qing, what do you think?" ”

Everyone looked at Shao Jing together, and they were only afraid that the personable Tanhualang was about to shirk his gaffe.

The champion of the current branch and the list of eyes are even more sympathetic, and they were embarrassed by the prime minister and hundreds of officials on the first day, and the previous Tanhua has not been so unlucky, right?

But seeing Shao Jing bowing unhurriedly, his smile was pure and clean, as if he didn't see that others were embarrassing him at all: "Your Majesty, Weichen has thought about it carefully, there is a way that may solve the problem, but Zhou Xiang needs to contribute." ”

Zhou Xiang's pupils shrank, and he didn't smile: "Oh? What does Shao Tanhua want the old man to do? As long as it can benefit the country and the people, the old man will not give up. ”

You kid just blow it, blow it, blow the cowhide in front of today, and see who can help you!

Shao Jing said slowly: "There is no need for Xiangye to do anything special, just invite a face-repairing craftsman to enter the mansion after Xiangye returns to the house, and then pay the wages at a high price, indicating that this kind of coin will not be used soon, and the court will mint new coins, and this matter will be solved soon." ”

Everyone didn't believe it, and some old and pedantic people shook their sleeves and sneered: "Are you playing with a child?" Besides, how can a country of Zaisuke talk nonsense! ”

Shao Jing lowered his eyes and smiled silently.

Zhou Xiang was thoughtful.

Ah Jiu suddenly jumped out and said with a smile: "Father, the son is willing to do this instead of Zhou Xiang!" ”

"Nonsense!" The emperor glanced at him and looked at Zhou Xiang: "You go and try!" ”

Zhou Xiang respectfully responded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the ministers should follow the order, but it's just, what if this matter fails?" ”

The emperor said lightly: "If it doesn't work, Shao Tanhua will go wherever she wants!" ”

Everyone frowned again, isn't it simple if this thing can't be done? With the means of Zhou Xiang, even if it is useful, it can be made useless!

But seeing the emperor's gaze slowly sweeping over the hall, he said coldly: "This matter is related to the people's livelihood, if anyone dares to leak the news, I will not spare it!" ”

——*——*——

The moonlight was hazy, Tian Youwei was lying on the stone table in the courtyard and listened to Shao Jing finish talking about today's events, and her eyelids jumped: "Can it be useful?" ”

Shao Jing's slender fingers flexibly peeled the shell of the melon seeds, and then piled the melon seeds in front of her, smiling lightly: "Is it useful, don't you know if you use it?" Would you like to try it? ”

"......" Tian Youwei has nothing to say, I don't know if this person is old and hasn't been able to express herself for a long time, and she has always been suddenly indecent when she talks to her recently.

"Why don't you speak?" Shao Jing leaned over, a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes reflected the moonlight, flickering at her.

Tian Youwei said: "What should I say? Is it not proper to be with you? ”

"Hey, where did you go? I didn't say anything. Shao Jing feigned surprise and slapped Tian Youwei with a pink punch.

Suddenly, he saw Ruyi coming quickly, and said in a low voice: "The prince of the county is here!" ”

The two were taken aback, and quickly got up to welcome them out, and the little sheep had already walked in with Yin Shan.

This is the first time Tian Youwei has met Xiao Yang after being drunk, although it has been a long time, she still feels a little embarrassed, and after saluting, she stood behind Shao Jing with her eyebrows lowered and did not say a word.

Xiao Yang's eyes swept over her, looked at the fruit and tea on the table, and said, "You guys are living comfortably, and I am worried about Ah Jing in vain." ”

Shao Jing smiled and invited him to take a seat, Tian Youwei quickly put on new tea and fruits, lowered her eyes and smiled, and avoided it: "You guys talk slowly." ”

Xiao Yang bowed slightly, and turned his head to look at Shao Jing: "How sure are you?" ”

Shao Jing said: "Ninety percent sure." ”

Xiao Yang's expression was resolute: "In this case, I should do my best to promote this matter, and do not let the ill-intentioned people do bad things......"

Because she didn't want to alarm Tian's father and Xie's family, Tian Youwei stayed in the kitchen all the time, listening to Ruyi's words and giving whatever she wanted.

After sitting for nearly three watches, Ruyi walked in and said, "Girl, I said that I wanted to eat the floating yuan seeds you made myself." ”

Tian Youwei had expected it a long time ago, and all the ingredients were prepared, and it only took a while to cook the floating yuan seeds and hand them over to Ruyi, and the bowl for the lamb was still in a big bowl.
