Chapter 195: Loyal Gu

Pearl hurriedly explained, saying, "I laugh because the excerpt you wrote is really confusing, as you said, the people's output has been reduced by more than four or fifty percent." The emperor or the adults of the household department and the cabinet must be confused, how much is this reduction in production by four or fifty percent? How much grain do the people receive each year? How much food do the people need to keep from starving! After saying this, Pearl was not satisfied, and said, "I wrote these excerpts, first complimented the emperor, and the officials, some things were even more vague, and I didn't say how to deal with them." If I were the emperor or someone in the cabinet, the most I would know would be that you have a drought here. ”

Ming Qian put down his pen and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"I'll help you write how, but you'll have to bring all the books of your food taxes and other accounts since you took office. By the way, the relevant documents on reservoirs and dams were also taken. Alas! Forget it, you're all recording methods here, let's find my girl! Ask her to bring the documents about the reservoir. ”

"Okay, knowing you're amazing, let's go back and teach you those two stupid birds! I still can't even memorize a poem! Ming Qian was angry when he thought of the two birds.

But these two birds are pearl pistachios, fortune and treasure these two birds, that is absolutely unprofitable, give something delicious, teach what to say, and like to learn to speak. Pearls have taught them.

Pearl felt that this excerpt was well written, and it would be of great benefit to Ming Qian, so she said, "Husband, I recently got a pair of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy......

Ming Qianteng stood up suddenly, "Really? And then there. Show it to me. ”

Pearl smiled and said, "If my husband asks me to write this recital, I'll give it to you, otherwise, ......."

Ming Qian thought about it, and it was nothing to let Mrs. write, but it was a big deal to re-polish it when he copied it, and Mrs. would not say anything at that time, so he said, "Okay, just do it!" ”

That's it. That same evening. One studies the calligraphy, the other searches for information, and the rule of the Great Liang Dynasty is that if something big happens. For example, the Great Drought. Or a flood. Or if there is a rebellion, you can write an excerpt directly to the emperor, and this is the situation now.

Pearl writes at the beginning of the book bowing to the emperor. Write what year he was the champion, made the county order, what was the situation at that time, how much good land there is now, how many shatians, how many people, how many villages and towns. Then write about the construction of reservoirs and dams in the county, how much money was spent, how many people were used, how much wages were given, who donated money, who contributed the most, and how much money was paid by the county government. However, I wrote about last year's flood, and their county order was affected, but because they did not collect the envy of the people and did not overcharge taxes, everything was normal. This year's severe drought has reduced grain production, and how much grain is harvested in a normal year, this time it is expected to be less than what is harvested, and how much the imperial court needs to replenish. He also said that there was some grain stored in this county last year, but because of the disaster situation in several nearby counties, it was difficult for them to be alone here, and hoped that the imperial court would allocate money for grain as soon as possible.

This excerpt is not a lot of words, but it is clear to anyone who reads it. In the past, the emperor read an excerpt, and after reading it, he thought about how to deal with it, let alone half an hour, and this excerpt was neat in ten minutes. When Pearl finished writing the excerpt and the meal was on the table, it was time to see the children, and now it was time for the psychology to be taken very seriously. Sometimes, half an hour of class will always be added for half an hour because of their request. Pearl believes that these children will definitely become sesame buns.

Pearl is a utilitarian, and the girls around her, especially her good students, are definitely going to take a step and want to take a walk. In addition, the stories of talented and beautiful women in those dramas were very criticized by Pearl, and now Pearl can guarantee that Ming Zhen'er, Yu'er and even Zhu'er will never be able to elope with someone or teach each other privately.

Pearl also prepared pendants for the three girls, although they did not put relics, but they also soaked in the pool for eighty-one days, and let them bring them. After bringing this class jade pendant, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the skin is more white and tender. The most important thing is that no diseases are born and no poisons are invasive.

Ming Qian looked at the pearl's fold and thought about it a lot, he felt that his wife's way of writing was really good, it was clear at a glance, all the data was very clear, and there was a solution. There are not many compliments, but I believe that the emperor has long seen enough of those lengthy excerpts. For a 10,000-word excerpt, five points are for patting on the back, three points for making excuses, one point for quoting scriptures and classics to explain the truth, and finally it is the right thing.

Ming Qian didn't change it, so he copied it again according to what his wife wrote and sent it up. Now there are 30,000 taels of silver in the county, but that is a tax, and if you can't collect taxes this year, you have to use this to make up for it, and then the people's taxes will be exempted. And next year's spring planting! That's not enough. Now there is a trend towards an increase in food prices.

This is Mingqian's business, you can't use the family's money to supplement him all the time! In that case, the emperor would not think that Ming Qian was capable. All the pearls continued to embroider her "Qingming Riverside Picture", because they were often embroidered in the space, so they did not let Ming Zhen'er see it. When embroidering with them, the pearls are not too large, and the pearls plan to embroider a twelve-sided screen, and they choose twelve kinds of flowers.

Ming Zhen'er's personality is now more and more similar to herself, and she is also a lot more sophisticated, and the Zhuangzi who practiced for her has made a lot of profits, and Yu'er is very envious, and she learns from Pearl how to manage Zhuangzi and her subordinates when she has time, and she also learns from Ming Zhen'er! Zhuer is more like to read and read, embroidery is also very enthusiastic, mainly the atmosphere of the family is here, naturally no one will think of not doing, but feel that it is taken for granted, the enlightenment of several children's writing is done by pearls, pearls are also here, pearls are still very talented in writing, pearls let her mainly learn hairpin flowers,

A few days later, Zhuangzi sent 30 carts of things, all of which were jewelry made in the past few months, and they were all put in the outer house, and the pearls went to see them with great interest.

The first thing Qiao Dun showed to the pearl was the pearl relics treasure, which can be called a miracle in the world made of pearls by skilled craftsmen with all their wisdom and skills. The treasure building is a special vessel used by people in Buddhism to store relics, there are three parts such as Sumeru bottom, sutra building, brake, etc., about 122 centimeters high, there are 32,000 pearls, each by the gold and silver threads in series, exquisitely clear, brilliant and crystalline. The overall design is ingenious and a treasure in the world.

In addition, it is equipped with a jeweled stupa made of 1,200 pearls, and various bonsai composed of more than 400 pearls, such as plum blossoms, Penglai Wonderland, etc. There is also a largest pearl pagoda, about six feet high, more than 1,000 beads for the tower umbrella, 293 large beads for the top of the tower, the belly of the tower and the tower door, etc., the value is innumerable.

Then, according to the design of the pearl, more pearl jewelry with diamonds or gemstones is made. There are also more than a dozen black pearls given to pearls by Shopkeeper Liu, which are also used. The golden pearls are all used on the pagoda, but there is no taboo. I gave them eight boxes of pearls at the beginning, and it is estimated that they used so much, there are still a lot of them. Pearls make them restrict the sale, because the next time there are pearls, it will be three or five years!

The two boats of jadeite raw materials that Zhao Qingyu got last time have now used a boat, because this boat is a large piece of rough stone, a piece of jadeite of the best bean seed is carved into a six-foot-high Buddha, and a piece of ice seed, pale green jadeite is carved into a Guanyin. The rest of the materials were made into bonsai, flower and bead chains, bracelets and jewelry. The rest of the small pieces are very good ice violet and dragon stone or glass blue water jade. On another boat, there is a very large glass imperial green jadeite, and the Buddha statue must be at least seven feet high! The rest of the materials are precious. This time they brought all these treasures because the road was good, otherwise they would have to stay in Zhuangzi! Now the warehouse on Zhuangzi is really tight.

After looking at this batch of jewelry, they picked out more than 20 sets of pearl sets, 15 necklaces and 21 pairs of earrings, and the jadeite was almost all left, and only the leftover materials that could be used as jewelry were brought back. Pearl was overjoyed to see these beautiful bracelets, gold and jade pendants, jade necklaces, bracelets and rings set with colored diamonds and precious stones. In fact, of course, the cargo of the ship was not only these, these were all selected, and the rest were waited for the pearls to go again, and then they were sold.

Not long after, A, B, C, and D came back, not only bringing back the precious medicinal materials from the south, but also bringing back a huge number of loyal Gu, Pearl found her husband, and also found Liu Xuan's two sons, and everyone discussed this matter. In fact, according to the meaning of pearls, if you don't eat it, you will leave, and you will be given the travel fee, and by the way, you will be given a love pill. The four of A, B, C and D also said that this loyalty cup is harmless, and it can also strengthen the body, of course, if the person who eats the mother Gu dies first, then the person who eats the child Gu will not survive, of course, if it is a natural death, then this Gu can be regarded as unraveled.

Pearl and Ming Qian both ate the mother Gu, Liu Xuan took the lead, and the four personal guards of A, B, C and Ding all ate it, and Qingfeng, that is, Liu Xuan's daughter-in-law, needless to say. The rest of the things will be left to Liu Xuan and Qingfeng to do, how can the people around Er Mingqian let them eat, and the pearl doesn't have to worry about it. Now their biggest secret is the huge amount of money, but it is not a big deal, and they are afraid of meeting political enemies in the future. And what pearls are most afraid of is that the space will be discovered.

Just when the autumn harvest was about to come, the emperor's will came down, and he praised Ming Qian, and circulated Ming Qian's excerpts to six parts, so that everyone could write excerpts in this way, and then, Ming Qian was immediately promoted to the prefect of Zhangzhou, and the county order of Dazheng County was held by Wang Zhen, the second son of Ning Yuanbo.

Oh, Pearl is happy, she finally has an acquaintance, Wang Zhen's daughter-in-law Chen has a good relationship with Pearl, and she finally has someone who can speak. (To be continued......)
