Chapter 334: Death-free Gold Medal
The emperor's heart was very happy, so he patted the back of Zhou Jin's head fondly and said: "Zhaoyang, these four words are given to the Song family, and in the future, it will be an invisible gold medal for avoiding death!" ”
"The emperor rewarded the Song family with a plaque of 'Fushan House', which is like a gold medal for avoiding death, and the county lord of Anran is grateful!" Dehai sang and shouted on the side.
If in normal times, it is already a great honor for the emperor to give the words, and no matter how many officials ask for it, but no one dares to ask for it, unless they have the ability of the Song family to make money, they really can't afford to do such a loss-making business.
Song Xingchen was very happy, with this plaque, the glory of the Song family was closer, and he turned around and ordered someone to send it to his hometown, but he was afraid that the academy would not succeed?
The most important thing is that the emperor is hinting that he is more satisfied with the Song family, so the marriage between Song Yang and Zhou Jin is more likely to happen.
"The courtiers and daughters represent the Song family, thank the emperor Longen, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Song Xingchen knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, this time he knelt very willingly.
In the era of the supremacy of imperial power, with the gold medal given by the emperor to avoid death, that is to give the family a way to live.
The words that the emperor said in front of his courtiers were recorded by the imperial history, and he was not afraid that he would not admit it when the time came!
Of course, Song Xingchen didn't want that day, that would mean that the Song family had declined.
"Father's words still have such a function, then when you are fine, you have to write a few more to Zhaoyang." After Zhou Jin understood what the emperor meant, he joked on the side.
"You girl, the gold medal given to you by your father is better than this, and there is no limit to the number of times." The emperor smiled helplessly, and one sentence showed how much he loved Zhou Jin.
"Ah, why didn't my father say it earlier, my sons didn't dare to make trouble, for fear that if I accidentally annoyed my father, this beautiful little head would be gone." Zhou Jin said, hurriedly took out his gold medal and looked at it, and carefully put it away.
Dehai had already taken down the emperor's words and handed them to the apprentice to make a plaque, and Zhou Jin's innocent words also made the emperor laugh, making the atmosphere in the imperial study less rigorous.
The most satisfying is Song Xingchen, not only won the gold medal for avoiding death, but also was given a seat by the emperor, in addition to the emperor's father and daughter, but she alone has such treatment, even if she can only sit in the corner of the chair, it is also unsurpassed glory and incomparable comfort!
At this time, the civil and military officials understood that they had to be green leaves to set off the princess's love for the people and Song Xingchen's high spirits.
Although the emperor and the ministers originally had something to discuss, but what they wanted to talk about was the follow-up supply of the army, and now with the strong sponsorship of Song Xingchen and Zhou Jin, the ministers said that they would go home to check the family property, and express their hearts to the front-line soldiers.
Yelang couldn't return home recently, so Song Xingchen temporarily lived in Zhou Jin's dormitory, and only went back to the Song Mansion to convey good news to Song Mu, and by the way, discussed with Zhou Jin how to join forces to pit the families of those ministers.
After all, there are several ways for the army to be sent this time, and it is easy to do things with more silver, not to mention that the ministers have Zhuangzi and field products in their hands, and it is not easy to spend money on food, and there is no need to spend money to buy ready-made ones.
The emperor was in a good mood, so he went to the queen's middle palace, and under the emperor's hint, the queen asked people to convey the news to various palaces, and those concubines who wanted to win the emperor's attention would naturally find a way to contribute, and there was a lot of money.
As a logistical support, the rescue team will not join the barracks, and will accompany the army escorting the quartermasters, which is also to provide guarantee for their safety.
The officials in the imperial study last night were all out of the palace with a bitter face, but on the second day they were extremely enthusiastic about preparing for this matter, and the emperor praised himself in the early dynasty, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty expressed their willingness to let their children participate in the rescue team, and gave money and food, and did not frown at all.
However, the officials naturally did not dare to really take out all their net worth, even if there was money in the family, but it was not as big as the Song family's business, and it was already the limit to be able to take out a year's income, and it took a lot of words to get the support of the family.
The most important thing is that there are only civil and military officials in the family like the Song family, and officials who are also imperial merchants, and they take too much silver, and they may be impeached by those imperial historians who claim to be Qingliu.
Others don't know why these officials have changed, but the emperor has a clear door in his heart, and he has eyeliner in various officials' mansions, so he naturally knows that these officials were scolded by Lao Tzu Niang after returning home.
Not to mention that this incident is a precedent for the Great Zhou Kingdom, once the thing is done well, it is definitely a chance to give his own children a long face, the royal family will see it in their eyes, and they can also get the hearts of the people, and they can make friends with the military generals who can support it, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.
And the old men in the officials' families can see more than this, although the Song family is a new upstart in the court, but every time the Song family takes the lead, they can get the royal reward, and they have the most sacred heart.
With the Song family in front of them, they are fools if they don't follow, and they can't benefit from the fact that the Song family has always been alone, and they can score a cup of the pie, right?
Song Xingchen didn't know that the Song family had such a deep influence in the courtier's family, so he went out of the palace early in the morning, preparing to send Song Mu a ride, and personally tell Song Mu about the progress of this matter, so that Song Mu could rest assured.
The emperor sent a few soldiers and horses out of Beijing on the city tower, and after encouraging the soldiers, he announced the rescue team in public, so that the soldiers could leave without worries.
The establishment of the rescue team went unusually well, and even the result made Song Xingchen a little confused.
Not only did the aristocratic sons and ladies express their willingness to go to the front line to provide support, but many people in the capital also spontaneously donated silver and food, etc., and they didn't know where to send it, so they simply went directly to the door of Song's house to line up.
In order not to be eye-catching, Song Xingchen asked Zhou Feng for help, and the Second Prince's Mansion was responsible for receiving the hearts of the people.
The concubines in the palace donated a total of more than one million taels of silver, and the families of officials donated more than 10 million taels of silver, and more than 10 million taels of grain.
The wealthy gentry in the capital have the most, and the amount of donated silver is nearly 100 million, and the amount of grain is also as high as 80 million quintals.
Not counting the donations of Song Xingchen and Zhou Jin, these are enough to fill the shortage of the treasury, but it is obviously inappropriate to transport them to the front line, so they can only be handed over to the household department to collect first, and then uniformly dispose of them.
But what made Song Xingchen feel most incredible was that the large and small medical centers in the capital responded one after another, either donating raw medicinal materials or finished medicines, with a total of more than 100 carts, which is more difficult to buy than food.
There are also many doctors with their apprentices who have joined the rescue team to provide simple escort to the team members, so that they can carry out simple bandaging and treatment when supporting the wounded in the army.
"Second sister-in-law, these things are for the soldiers on the front line, maybe the second brother will also use them. If the second sister-in-law is really worried about the safety of the second brother, she can also go to the rescue team, and the nephew and niece will be taken care of by me, and the second sister-in-law can rest assured. Song Xingchen saw that Hang Kite's face was not very good, so he thought of a compromise solution.
"Really?" Hang Yuan's eyes brightened instantly, but without waiting for Song Xingchen to answer, he said listlessly: "No, if I go, your second brother will definitely be distracted, and besides, it is not safe at the border pass, if the enemy knows that I am the general's wife, maybe they will take me away and use it to threaten your second brother, I can't take this risk." ”
Song Xingchen was naturally worried about this, and when he saw that Hang Yuan could think of this, he didn't say anything anymore.
Although Hang Yuan couldn't go to the border pass, he soon actively participated in the arrangement of the rescue team, kept himself busy as much as possible, and did a good job of supporting Song Mu.
I don't know when the news of the rescue team began to spread to the surrounding areas of the capital, and many officials and wealthy gentry also responded, so that the rescue team went all the way to the border pass, and the team was growing, and some first-aid knowledge could only be taught on the road.
Even the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass and other materials must not be slowed down, and can only let some people and horses escort some of the materials first.
Because of the rescue team, Song Xingchen completely gained a firm foothold in the capital, not only did no one dare to underestimate her, but also the elders of the Song family, and even many powerful families, deliberately called their children and grandchildren to him, so that they could walk around with the Song family more in the future, especially Song Xingchen.
As for daring to offend the Song family innocently, then wait for the family law to serve.
Song Xingchen didn't know that she had such a benefit, but everything was smooth, and it was naturally in line with her wishes.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed, and the person sent by the emperor of the Western Zhou State to pick up Zhou Ding finally arrived.
The emperor met with the envoys of the Western Zhou Kingdom, and Zhou Feng also sent Zhou Ding to the post house, and the safety of Zhou Ding was responsible for the people of the Western Zhou Kingdom.
"If the people of the Western Zhou Kingdom don't come again, Zhou Ding is afraid that he will fall in love with the bed in the Second Prince's Mansion, right?" Song Xingchen yawned, his little head rubbing against Yelang's chest.
"The second prince doesn't have that kind of habit, not to mention that Zhou Ding is by no means a good match." Ye Lang stroked the hair on the top of Song Xingchen's head and spoke softly.
The couple has just been warm, and even if they are talking about business at this moment, it is inevitable that there is some ambiguous atmosphere flowing.
"Zhou Ding leaves, you can go home, right? During this time, I lost a lot of money, and I really spent money to buy a good reputation. Song Xingchen raised his head, looked at Yelang's handsome face, and complained.
"Solved the worries of so many soldiers and saved so many families, do you feel sorry for this bit of silver?" Yelang smiled dotingly, and his love for Song Xingchen became more and more.
Although Song Xingchen is a real money fan, she loves money and is definitely not stingy when she should spend money.
In Song Xingchen's words, if you want to earn the money of the world, then you must be recognized by the world.
Obviously, Song Xingchen has done a very successful job in this regard, and now there are too few people in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom who don't know Song Xingchen, the lord of Anran County.
"Oh, people just softened their hearts and did some good deeds, don't always talk about it, be careful I'll be proud." Song Xingchen said with a smile.
"The lady is the pride of her husband's heart, and the advantages of women in the world are gathered together, and they are not as good as one-ten-thousandth of yours." Yelang whispered.
"So you have picked up the treasure, but you must know how to cherish it, otherwise the spittle of the people in the world can drown you, I don't know how many men envy and hate, but you have married the best woman in the world as a wife." Song Xingchen said proudly.
"Well, it would be even more perfect if this good wife could give me a baby." Yelang smiled evilly, turned over and pressed Song Xingchen under him.
"It stands to reason that you should have been hit! Or, let's let the second sister and the second brother-in-law take a look tomorrow? Song Xingchen frowned, according to the frequency of the two of them, it was unthinkable not to win the lottery, unless there was something wrong with their health.
Yelang raised his eyebrows, he hadn't thought about this aspect before, but after Song Xingchen said this, he wondered if there was something wrong with his body, after all, before Song Xingchen saved him, he had experienced too much, and it was already a miracle that he survived.
