Chapter 255 onlookers gossip

People come and go in the pachinko room.

Zhu Youzhen is dispensable for the queen's actions, and many ministers have no opinions. After all, there are no brothers and sisters in the office, and they never make irresponsible remarks on political opinions. Occasionally, the emperor and the empress have a little interaction, and they can still have a good meal, even Cao Yubian, who is the oldest and most old-fashioned in the Imperial Court, has nothing to say, just laughs happily with his white beard.

The end of the year is the time for the official assessment since Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, and the time is just right for half a year of the Apocalypse plus two years for Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, the list of local officials who need to enter Beijing is here." Cao Yubian came to report the assessment plan to his emperor.

Zhu Youzhen did not have any new meaning in this year's official evaluation, but asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to separate the list of local officials from those in the capital.

As far as Zhu Youzhen is concerned, the cleanup of local officials has not yet begun, so he doesn't care. When it comes to assessments, both the military and the cabinet have to show up. So Sun Chengzong and Han Ying also sat at the emperor's conference table early.

"I don't have any opinion on the local officials who need to go to Beijing. When I arrived in the capital, I would meet Han Shoufu alone when the time came. In addition to the feudal officials of each province, the county commanders of two or three counties were also selected. It's strange to say that it's been almost two years since I ascended the throne, and I don't know the names of the political envoys and governors of the provinces. ”

"By the way, don't go your own way. This time, the reunification of the Shangjing Division gave me a settlement to the School of Administration, and let Lu Xiangsheng and the officials of Beizhili make specific arrangements. The requirements of the imperial court and all kinds of requests have been given. Han Shoufu, you focus on it. After reading the Cabinet's excerpts on local exchanges, I felt that it would be implemented in this way next year, and as for whether there were any problems, we would talk about it in the next year. After speaking, he handed the fold that he had approved to Han Ying.

Han Ying was very excited, this is a plan for the cabinet to prepare for the transition to the prime minister's yamen.

"The household department has already started the release of two sets of new currencies of the Chongzhen Dynasty in Xiongjin, Longyin and Longyuan." Han Ying put the latest dozen dragon silvers on the table. "The opinion of the cabinet is that by the time of this year's New Year, the imperial court can allow military and official tickets to be converted into dragon silver?"

"Let's talk about it alone. This matter will have to be discussed again when Chen Zilong returns from North Korea. The key is whether the three items of salt, sugar, and cotton cloth of the Food Bureau can be rolled out is one of them. The second is how many people are willing to join. Originally, I thought that after talking about the evaluation of officials, I would discuss this matter with Shousuke. You can take the big idea, but the southeast salt field has not been rectified in one day, and the silver mountain of Dongying Silver and Naturalization City cannot be stabilized in one day, and my opinion still can't be too anxious. There is no turning back from this kind of thing, once the credit is gone, it is better to start again, it is better to do it now. ”

Han Ying arched his hand and said that he knew. In fact, he is not in a hurry, and it is best for the matter of Long Yin to be delayed until Chongzhen for five years. According to His Majesty the Emperor, if it was really the Prime Minister's Administrative Yamen that could be established at that time, then this first achievement as the Prime Minister's Yamen should still be able to be taken.

"As for the assessment ...... in the capital," Zhu Youzhen still turned the topic back. Cao Yubian is already seventy years old, so he still has to respect something.

"Your Majesty, the minister has studied Your Majesty's opinions, as well as Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Xianggong's examination method. The six parts of the assessment have also been revised and improved. The only question here is that His Majesty has proposed the dismissal, and the minister has also communicated with the ministers of the six ministries, can this request not be made in the first year? ”

"Nope." Zhu Youzhen continued to insist.

"This year, the imperial court has allocated official residences for the imperial court above the third grade, and raised the salary for all officials. At present, the expenditure of the officials of the imperial court alone has reached nearly 2.3 million taels. The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households have also reported to me the figures for next year, and you can also take a look at them. ”

"At least it is estimated that it will be nearly 2.7 million taels, and this does not include the expenditure of the military department and the money for the repair of the official office. I only know that firewood and rice are expensive now. The Metropolitan Procuratorate also needs to find out. The price is high, so naturally there are people who lie down and make some money. If there is no withdrawal from the system, after a long time, those who work will be punished, and those who do not work will get a lot of money. Yicheng, this is already my lowest bottom line. Zhu Youzhen stretched out a finger. Then he strengthened his tone and said:

"I'm talking about the official seal, don't take those temporary Xu Yanhu to make me."

"Flowing water is not rotten, and the household hub is not beetle, how can the old inspector not understand this truth."

How could Cao Yubian not understand this truth, the more people who were dismissed, the greater the right to supervise themselves. It's just a prelude to the right process.

This year, Jingcha is much more complicated than before, and the content of each yamen alone has been up and down for two months, and the old man is also a little exhausted.

"Your Majesty, Lao Chen is here to tell you in advance, Lao Chen is this year's kung fu, and you will have to find a replacement next year no matter what. The old man still thinks that he can tease his grandson for a few years when he goes back. ”

"Well, you're all great-grandsons, and this is the fourth generation in the same house. I heard that Shoufu told me that Lao Zhaocha has a good grandson in his family, will he participate in the imperial examination this year? ”

Speaking of which, this old man is very proud,

"Your Majesty met at the Spring Banquet last year, and this year I will participate in the imperial examination."

"Lao Zhicha insisted on it for five years, at least until I straightened out the local authorities and the army, and then talked about going home. There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, there are few for me to sit in, I am not sure. ”

That's gossip.

Zhu Youzhen smelled the fragrance, and said to Wang Chengen next to him:

"It's okay, ask the queen, if the meal is ready, let's serve it to everyone. After eating, I still have to talk to Inspector Sun about border defense. ”

It didn't take long for the queen to come in, but what Zhu Youzhen didn't expect was that Sun Yousu followed.

"Yo! Is this dog-like? How to smell and come. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't care, and joked casually.

Sun Yousu originally came to trouble Zhu Youzhen, but I don't know why, as soon as she saw Zhu Youzhen, she couldn't help it anymore, and she cried out loud.

Standing in the middle of the room like this, regardless of it, tears welled up in tears.

Zhu Youzhen was stunned, how? For Sun Yousu, he has always been appreciative, whether it is the roughest penicillin, or surpassing his medical teacher and having the courage to start studying the structure of the human body, all of which make him seem to see the shadow of those scientists in later generations. Although he and Sun Yousu are not common, he still spends a lot of time answering some of Sun Yousu's questions about medical matters. It wasn't until later that she invested money in the medical laboratory of the Academy of Sciences through Queen Zhou.

Zhu Youzhen looked confused, Queen Zhou was at a loss, but the other ministers were eating melons with relish from the onlookers, and the fire of gossip was burning in their eyes.

He glanced at Empress Zhou, who was also looking at him innocently.

"This loser." Zhu Youzhen complained and stood up from the chair.

"What's going on? I also said I'd take some time to check out your lab. Why did you come to me crying? Stuck in research? ”

In this case, there are really not many ways for Zhu Youzhen to comfort people.

"My father said that His Majesty said that I would marry in three months...... and Dr. Washi ......was already dead. I put away the parchment album he left me, but his will was burned by Father Honatan and asked me for Dr. Wats's body...... I don't want to get married now, so why do you arrange my affairs......"

Yes, although Zhu Youzhen didn't understand some of the middle, he heard the matter of marrying clearly. This incident must have happened when Sun Yuanhua went back, and he originally used Sun Yousu's baptism at the age of three as an example, and arranging for Sun Yousu to marry was also an attitude reflected in Sun Yuanhua's dissatisfaction. Who would have thought that Sun Yuanhua would still regard this matter as the focus of that meeting.

"Queen, take the young stalk out to wash it. When I'm done, I'll come in and eat. ”

There is no way, everyone has come to the door, and I still have to do everything possible to make myself a way out in a male-dominated society. I didn't expect my words to be so sharp.

Soon, Empress Zhou came in again with the cleaned Sun Yousu. The powder was washed off, and the emaciated face and pale lips made this one even more pitiful.

"The matter of marriage is just an example given by me, without what you see, I can't pull a match. Besides, if I want to give an example, I also have to have someone who is familiar with me, do you think I am familiar with the unmarried women in the Jingshi? ”

Several old ministers watched the excitement, and Cao Yubian even looked like watching children play.

"Since there is no such thing, then why are you threatening my father with the matter of marriage?"

"You really don't know what I think of your father?"

Sun Yousu asked privately on the secret fold, and Zhu Youzhen naturally told her without reservation.

Oh!

The few people next to him had a knowing expression.
