Chapter 233: Reward

The emperor was suddenly summoned, Lin Qingwan didn't have time to prepare, Lu Yu and the others who lived here were all called back to change their clothes and leave, not to mention the Shang family, which was quite far away from her?

Because Shang Ping was angry with her because of Shang Mingjie's matter, this time Lin Qingwan pitted their father and son in a flash. ~with~dream~small~say~ั‰~suimะตng~lฤ

The emperor summoned her, and she just called and handed over a post to explain that Shang Ping didn't see it or didn't have time to see it?

What does that have to do with her, she just needs to notify her anyway.

The post was written by Lin Yubin.

Lin Yubin knew that her aunt was angry about the second uncle's anger before, and although she was a little sympathetic to her cousin, she still wrote it, and then asked someone to send it to Shang's house.

The descendants of the Shang family knew that their lord didn't like the aunt of Miss Cousin's family, so the post sent by the county lord's mansion naturally didn't pay attention, and it was successfully placed in the corner and dusted.

Lin Qingwan led a group of young men into the palace, because the queen had specially taken care of Lin Yubin, so she took her with her.

After entering the palace, a eunuch came to lead Lin Yubin, and Lin Qingwan was about to go with him, so Gonggong Liu bent down and said, "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty still wants to see you." โ€

Lin Qingwan was stunned and said with a smile: "Your Majesty summoned a few talents, what am I going to do with them?" โ€

"For the sake of Hongzhou's grain and grass, didn't the household department take a batch of grain from you? Your Majesty has something to say to you. โ€

Lin Qingwan bowed slightly to Lin Yubin and said, "You go and say hello to the queen mother first, and my aunt will go to see Your Majesty first." โ€

Lu Yu and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, and Aunt Lin followed, and instantly felt that their hearts were settled.

Zhong Ruying and the six Shangshu were also there, and the four princes were not familiar with the affairs of the household department, so the left attendant of the household department also had a special exception to attend.

In addition to Ren Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Lin Qingwan is most familiar with Zuo Shilang, because the last time she handed over the grain, she accounted for it with the other party.

Zuo Shilang got up and saluted Lin Qingwan, and only sat down after Lin Qingwan returned the salute.

The fourth prince also returned the salute and called "sister", and the emperor was very satisfied when he saw it, pointed to an empty seat on the right-hand side and said, "Sister Wan'er come here to sit." โ€

On his left hand side was Zhong Ruying, and below him were the four princes, Zuo Shilang was sitting behind him, and several other Shangshu were sitting under him on both sides.

Lin Qingwan paused, curtsy and sat down, in fact, she preferred to stand, or sit on a stool, the chair is not bad.

The emperor looked at them one by one, and saw that they were all young talents, in their prime, he couldn't help touching his beard and smiled: "Yes, yes, if my Liang is such a talent as you, why worry that the world is not peaceful?" โ€

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly and said, "Then Your Majesty has to let the people of the world eat well first, and then let the Ministry of Industry print enough books." Otherwise, how to study without knowing food and clothing? How can you read without a book? โ€

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect the emperor to look forward to Lin Qingwan, and they all looked at the emperor, but the emperor nodded good-natured and said: "Cang Liao really knows honor and disgrace, we are indeed far from this step, and you young people have to work hard." โ€

The emperor glanced at them a few times, and said with a slight puzzle: "Didn't you say that you are six people going out to study, why are there five of them today?" โ€

Lin Qingwan smiled again: "There is also a nephew of my sister-in-law's family, named Shang Mingjie, they only have one seedling in the second room, so the family knew that he ran to the capital after he was in distress, and he was so angry that he was locked up by his father before entering Beijing, and he has not been released yet." โ€

The emperor blinked, "Didn't they want to go to Beijing to file a complaint?" โ€

"Yes, but didn't I take over this job," Lin Qingwan smiled: "I don't know, forget it, since I know, I can't shrink back as an elder, but let a few juniors rush to the front, right?" โ€

The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "His father doesn't approve of him going to Beijing to file a lawsuit?" โ€

"It's just that I'm afraid that the child will be in danger," Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "After all, there is only one son." โ€

Whose children are so many that they can be thrown into danger?

Although the emperor was a little annoyed with Lin Qingwan's suspicions some time ago, he appreciated her for putting the country's interests first.

If there were more such people in Daliang, the world would have been unified long ago.

So I don't like Shang Mingjie's father to be so timid, cowardly and selfish.

"Since his father stayed in Beijing, was he an official in the court, or was he studying here?"

Ren Shangshu glanced at Lin Qingwan, coughed and said, "Your Majesty forgot, after this Shang family is the Duke of Zhenguo, what the county lord is talking about should be Shang Ping, who is a foreign minister in the Ministry of Works." โ€

As soon as Ren Shangshu said this, the emperor remembered, he frowned and thought for a while: "I remember that in the early years, the Marquis of Beizhen drunkenly injured the young son of the Wang family, and he himself died in a fight with someone in the army?" โ€

"Yes," Ren Shangshu lowered his head and said: "Shang Ping is his younger brother, demoted to the second level of the lord, and is now the son of the county." โ€

The emperor was even more displeased in his heart, and no longer mentioned the Shang family, but took the school examination for the five young people in front of him, and asked about the scene at that time by the way.

Although they had already been questioned many times, and the Emperor had read the written report, he still wanted to ask them again in person.

He always had a faint feeling that his second son should not have the ability to block the entire Hongzhou, and there must be someone behind him who is helping him, but the son of a scumbag refuses to say whether he is alive or dead, and he can't find out, so he can only hope that he will have to write clues from them.

Lu Yu and the five of them had a heart when Lin Qingwan mentioned the Shang family, and now when they finished speaking, the five of them were as uncomfortable as being roasted on a fire.

Including Lin You, the inner thoughts of the five people are unprecedentedly unanimous: "You can't offend a woman if you offend anyone, especially a woman like Aunt Lin."

The cold sweat on Zhou Tong's forehead came out, and he wiped the sweat on his forehead and said secretly: He seems to have offended her, but after a long time, she should have forgotten, right?

After the emperor asked, he praised the five people a few words, and then asked them to lead them down, of course, the reward was a lot, there was no gold or silver, but some cloth could still be had, which was considered to be used for them to suppress the shock.

When the people left, the rest of the palace were ministers, and the emperor turned his head and said to Lin Qingwan: "Sister Wan, the batch of grain you donated to the household department has been of great use, and now that the war in Hongzhou is settled, what do you want?" โ€

"As long as the country is peaceful, Your Majesty is well-being."

The emperor laughed and said, "You, you, say you are straightforward, but you can pat on the back, say you can pat on the back, but always speak straight." Well, since you don't want to say it, then I'll give you a reward at my discretion. โ€

The emperor lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "I think you will farm very much, most of the land in Suzhou was wasteland before you gave it, but I didn't expect you to turn it into a granary in three years, why don't I give you another piece of land?" โ€

Lin Qingwan said: "That's overstepping." โ€

She thought for a while and said, "If Your Majesty really wants to reward me, why don't you reward me with a building." โ€

"Lou? What building? โ€

"Reading the book," Lin Qingwan said: "My father loves books, my brother also loves books, and he collected a lot of books and put them at home before his death, as well as some of their travelogue manuscripts, which are piled up, but my family is small, except for me and my niece, who occasionally flip through them, no one reads them at all."

But this writing is for people to see, and when it is hidden in the ashes at home, it loses its original value.

So you can give me a building, I use it to display books for people to see, this building is called the reading building. โ€

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at the emperor one after another.

The emperor was also surprised, and he pondered: "This matter is not small, Sister Wan, have you thought clearly?" โ€

Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "Just put the books at home out for others to see, what is there to think?" Doesn't Your Majesty also look forward to more good talents in Daliang? These talents and beautiful jades do not appear out of thin air, and they also need to be learned. โ€

The emperor's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at several scholars.

Several Shangshu glanced at each other, but they all frowned and did not speak.

It's not impossible to build such a reading building, but there are no ancients, who knows what will happen?

After thinking about it, several Shangshu still raised objections, "Then who can go in and read?" โ€

Lin Qingwan said: "Anyone." โ€

"What if they are spies of other countries? Is it not to enrich the fields of others? โ€

Lin Qingwan: "Because I'm afraid of the outflow of fertilizer and water, do you simply not apply fertilizer?" Make your land barren too? โ€

"With such a big building, it must cost a lot to manage, is the Lin family responsible for this cost, or is it the imperial court?"

"Since it was given to me by His Majesty, I am naturally responsible."

"If anyone steals......

"Act according to the law," Lin Qingwan looked at the frowning and silent scholars, and said with a smile: "Aren't you worried about the attitude of the Cui Lu family?" โ€

Although books are in circulation now, everyone knows that knowledge is actually monopolized, and suddenly such a reading building is suddenly opened, and the real ones who are most affected are those big families.

Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "If you are worried about this, I can write to ask Lu Duhu and Cui Duhu for their opinions." โ€

The emperor's face had already fallen, "What I have rewarded the county lord, why should I worry about the attitude of the Cui Lu family?" If you want to reward and punish, you have to ask Cui Lu and the two families? โ€

The scholars were startled, and secretly scolded Lin Qingwan for digging a pit for them, and they all got up and knelt down, "Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers have no such intentions." โ€

Ren Shangshu thought about it, and still stood on Lin Qingwan's side, "Lord Lin has meritorious service to the country, and His Majesty should naturally reward him, but the Reading Building has never had one, so the ministers are worried a little more." โ€

The emperor's face looked better, and he turned his head to look at Lin Qingwan and said, "Where do you want to build the reading building?" โ€

"The minister wants to live in Suzhou for a long time, and this reading building naturally has to be built in Suzhou to be managed." She can't go to the capital to buy readers, right?

Of course, the closer to home, the better it is for the Lin family and her.

The Emperor nodded, "I will find you a piece of land, and I will order the local Assassin's Mansion to build it for you, and you can wait to check it." โ€

Lin Qingwan knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty." โ€

The emperor's face looked better, and he smiled: "It's just a building, I still want to thank you." โ€

Lin Qingwan donated a lot of food this time, which greatly relieved the pressure on the household department.
