Within half a day, the fact that the head of the household was urgently summoned to the palace by the monarch was known to other officials, and they began to discuss the reason in private. In the end, a household Langzhong revealed a little news, saying that this matter was related to the taxes paid by the Shuzhou prefect this year. As for what exactly it has to do with it, they can only guess for themselves.

The next morning, the monarch took the initiative to mention the tax, and then the civil and military officials knew how much the Lin prefect had done - the tax paid by Shuzhou this year was fifty percent higher than that paid last year.

This is not a small amount, and the officials immediately began to talk about it.

Some people couldn't help but wonder: "Your Majesty, the increase in taxes paid is a good thing, but the sudden increase is so much, I'm afraid there is a clue in the middle." Weichen was bold, guessing that maybe it was accidentally written by Governor Lin when he was on the excerpt! ”

The monarch smiled, "I also had this suspicion at the beginning, so I hurriedly summoned the Tobe Shangshu into the palace yesterday. This has been confirmed, and it is indeed the correct amount, and the money has just arrived yesterday. ”

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly echoed: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Weichen has also counted, and the amount of silver is consistent with what is written on Lord Lin's fold. ”

The crowd's discussion increased a little more, and finally the monarch interrupted everyone's discussion, "Okay." Judging from the taxes paid by Governor Lin's mansion, he has indeed done a lot for the people this year! With an official like this, I can sit back and relax in Zhongjing. ”

Someone below immediately took the opportunity to act, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Governor Lin has made a great contribution this time, and he should also be rewarded." ”

The monarch nodded, "It's the award, and it's the reward......

After the discussion of the courtiers and the thinking of the monarch, it was decided that Lin Xiangyuan would be summoned to Zhongjing at the Yuqiong banquet at the end of the year, and he would be directly rewarded in public at the Yuqiong banquet at that time, so that he could share his experience as an official.

This decision was made, and the decree was quickly sent out of the palace. However, Lin Xiangyuan, who was far away in Los Angeles, didn't know about it yet.

At the same time, Jinshu, who was in Qingshui Village, also received a letter from Zhao Hui. The letter said that he had followed Xiao Xuanyi to Zhongjing, but he would have to wait for the reward of the Imperial Banquet before he could be a little free, and he would go home to live for half a month.

After that, it was always calm, and Jin Shu watched the time go from late autumn to harsh winter. This year's winter seems to have been particularly cold, with several snowfalls since the beginning of the winter. However, as the New Year approaches, even if it is cold outside, everyone has to go out to buy New Year's goods. In the past, Jinshu would do these things herself, but this year she was also lazy and handed over this matter to Aunt Fu.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Zhao Hui came back on horseback, and by the way, he also brought back a lot of good things. In addition to the ones he bought himself, there were also some of them that Xiao Xuan also asked him to bring back.

Because he didn't write back in advance, Jin Shu was quite surprised when he saw him. But after the surprise came the joy. For this reason, she also spent two days to drum out the hot pot, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, the family happened to eat hot pot and chat, happily spending the last day of the year.

For this hot pot, Jinshu also deliberately used the spices he grows, and experimented several times to achieve satisfactory results. Although it took a while, she was happy to see everyone eating happily. What's more, Jinshu is also planning to open a hot pot restaurant, and now take the first step to get out the hot pot base, and then you can save some trouble.

Jinshu also learned about Li Yunzhi's current situation from Zhao Hui. It is said that he is currently serving as a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, and it seems that he is very much appreciated by the servants of the ministry, and the squire also plans to marry his youngest concubine to him.
