Chapter 274: Above the Temple
The red sun rises.
The mood of the water sign is particularly beautiful.
"Zhong Aiqing, retreat!"
"Your Majesty!"
"The waiter of the Ministry of Rites Xie Xinjie, and Lei Zhongxuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, stayed!"
Everyone dispersed, and Shui Zheng smiled and said to Xie Xinjie and Lei Zhongxuan, "Let's go, follow me to the Purple Star Palace, the matter is done, let's meet that kid together in a while."
"Yes!"
In the Purple Star Palace, Shui Zheng and the two of them sat separately.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!"
Xie Xinjie thought about it and stood up and said.
"What's the matter with Aiqing, why didn't you start playing in the court just now?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is inappropriate to force donations."
Xie Xinjie thought at first that Shui Zheng really wanted a show girl who was still alive, so he willfully summoned him to the palace in advance.
This morning, Lei Zhongxuan made a special trip to stop his sedan chair, and the two broke up for a stick of incense, and he understood what happened.
Although it is beneficial to the people, it is not reasonable, and in the long run, I am afraid that no one in the world dares to be the first in the world.
"Forced donations? How to force donations? That woman was going to draft a draft girl, and now I announced her to the palace, although it was earlier, why not? Now there is a folk son, I want to give up such a beautiful girl, I hesitate again and again, this person heard that the people of Yilan Mansion, Mishan Mansion, and Anqing Mansion have suffered from insect plagues and droughts, and the grains have been lost.
So I depleted my family and helped the people to feed and clothe themselves, and I remembered his immeasurable merits and granted him what he requested.
How many kings in the world can do this?"
Shui Zhengman didn't care and said, "Don't I have to give him away for nothing?"
"Yes, old man! The people are poor, and this kid has brought me two million taels in just a few words, and he has already sent me a message, and he will be there in a while!
Your Majesty's move should respond to the people in the world, this is great virtue!
Now that they are allowed to have lovers and eventually become married, such things will be recorded in the history books, and no one can pick them out!"
Xie Xinjie thought for a while and said, "It's okay to save ten people at the expense of one people, and it's okay to save ten people at the expense of ten people.
The water sign closed the door and did not answer.
Lei Zhongxuan said with a smile: "Old Jie, Your Majesty knows that you are a minister, but you are no longer the Imperial Doctor, and now you are a waiter of the Ministry of Rites!" You don't have to reason with Yang Zhu's indefatigable allusion here, Your Majesty called you here to ask you to sing your white face!
That kid is a cash cow, as long as you sing well with a white face, my household can have silver, and if the household has silver, then the people of the world will have food!
This is great love!"
"Your Majesty, this son is certainly affectionate, but what if he has such a natural talent in the future?
Weichen thinks that there should be rules to be established, and there should be evidence to follow in the future!"
Shui Zheng said calmly, "Then according to Aiqing's words, what should the widow do? I don't want this silver, how to deal with the 100,000 people affected by the disaster in Yilan Mansion, Mishan Mansion, and Anqing Mansion, and please ask Lord Xie for advice."
"The minister thinks that this silver tael should be exchanged for a successful medal!"
"Meritorious?"
"Not bad!"
Xie Xinjie used to be neutral, but since Shui Zheng had the big killer book "Hundred Officials Xingshu", he has been obedient.
There are also a few stinky faults in good people.
And Xie Xinjie's stinky problem is that he has a stinky mouth, and he once openly scolded Shui Zheng and his Lao Tzu......
This handle can be copied from the house, of course, if the people in power don't care, then it's nothing.
But the bad thing is that he is the official of the imperial court, which has a lot of influence, and neither Shui Kunxi nor Shui Zheng is the emperor.
Therefore, although Shui Zheng did not plan to clean up Xin Jie, but after a long talk, this former imperial doctor and now the waiter of the Ministry of Rites can be regarded as taking refuge in Shui Zheng's side.
"What a feat, this is something more ancient!"
Water signs came interested.
"Your Majesty, the trend of donating officials is prevalent now, although it can solve the temporary crisis of finances
, but after the time chngelng, all the donations were donated, and those who couldn't donate still couldn't afford to donate, so the minister meditated and thought about it for a long time, and came up with such a thing as meritorious service from the methods of the ancients!
Back then, Qin swept Liuhe, and the cover was made because of this.
Everyone has meritorious deeds, soldiers serve to the death, and civil officials use their lives.
Nowadays, the finances are very expensive, and it is even more difficult to get silver and bronze, but if Your Majesty can introduce the balance of merit, it will be much more convenient."
Shui Zheng pondered for a while: "This matter is very important, it is quite similar to the military exploits, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the military and civil have always been separated, and the stakes are very important, and it is not too late to discuss it in the future!"
I understand what you think, do you think that two million taels of silver, he is really a loss to change a woman, and I am afraid that he will not use it for me in the future?"
Xie Xinjie shouted, "Your Majesty Shengming."
"I also know this truth, the dry water and the fishing outweigh the losses, Xie Shilang, then what do you think Lone should reward Liu Xianglian with?"
"I don't know, it's up to Your Majesty to decide."
Shui Zheng smiled: "Xie Shilang, that kid is very slippery, even if I don't give it, he will never be willing to come empty-handed, otherwise you will wait and see!" As for rewarding him...... It's very difficult.
I know what he wants, but now I can't give it to him."
At this point, Shui Zheng thought that Liu Xianglian's biggest headache now was how to arrange the status of his beloved woman, if he wanted to give them a name in the past, then at least he had to restore the title of Marquis Yanyun.
Obviously, Liu Xianglian's credit is still far behind.
The monarch and the ministers are answering each other.
A notification came from below the Purple Star Palace: "Grass people Liu Xianglian asks to see the Holy One!"
"Come on!"
Liu Xianglian walked up the stairs, looking at the Purple Star Hall like an observatory, and her thoughts turned a thousand times.
As soon as I came up, I saw that all the parties had already sat down, and the water sign was at the top.
"Meet Your Majesty! I've seen Lord Lei Shangshu, Lord Xie!"
After Liu Xianglian saluted everyone, Shui Zheng waved his hand and said, "There is a small stool next to it, sit down!" As soon as I heard Lei Shangshu say it in the morning, I guessed that you would definitely visit today, and sure enough."
"Your Majesty's clever calculation, I admire it!"
After Liu Xianglian sat down, she didn't speak, and quietly waited for the court to speak first, and whoever spoke first would expose his hole cards first.
But all the people present were old oilers, Xie Xinjie admired the flowers with a black face, Shui Zheng looked at the clouds with tea, and Lei Zhongxuan fiddled with the teacup.
Time passed, Liu Xianglian sighed lightly, but she still couldn't grind these old oilers.
"Your Majesty, the grass people are willing to give all the two million taels of silver to Lei Shangshu's household!"
"Oh?"
Shui Zheng laughed, "Good, good! Come, boy, I'm glad today, and I'll give you a drink!"
Shui Zheng toasted people, this is something that many people dare not think of, and now he can do this for the sake of the people, Liu Xianglian is also admired to be honest!
But admiration is admiration, and what should be said is still to say: "Your Majesty, the grass people have a reluctant request, I don't know ......
"Reluctantly? Haha, let's say, as long as I can agree, I will agree to it as well."
"Your Majesty wants to remove Miss Baochai from the list of the Ministry of Rites!"
"Yes!"
"The minister wants to be the brother of Miss Baochai, Xue Pan asks to serve Your Majesty!"
"Oh? Xue Pan?"
Shui Zheng was stunned: "I seem to have heard that this person doesn't know how to learn, how can he work for me?"
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, five thousand taels can donate a five-grade martial official, and now two million taels of grass people only ask Your Majesty to be willing to protect this son, although he is stubborn, but he is filial piety, but he is young and chaotic and does not know right and wrong, if Your Majesty is willing to send a famous teacher to carefully train him, he can also do something."
"It seems that you have thought about what position to find him!"
Shui Zheng's eyes gestured to Xie Xinjie to glance.
Xie Xinjie was afraid of the case: "Be bold
People, you dare to negotiate the price in front of Your Majesty, do you think that the princes above the court are all decorations? A piece of rotten wood, also want to ascend to the Hall of Elegance?"
Lei Zhongxuan glanced at Liu Xianglian and signaled him not to panic, he was there: "Lord Xie, two million taels, who is willing to take it out for His Majesty?" I think Boy Liu is loyal to His Majesty......
Lei Zhongxuan didn't finish his words, and halfway through the conversation: "But I heard Your Majesty say that the kid you want to protect is a gentleman who doesn't learn and has no skills, and he needs to be trained, which is really embarrassing!" Otherwise, would you be able to do it?"
Shui Zheng squinted his eyes and nodded, "That's what I mean! Or Lei Aiqing understands my thoughts."
Liu Xianglian asked, "Boss, please speak."
"According to the old man's opinion, if you come to my household department to find an errand, then the old man will be your guarantor for that kid, not only can you train him, but also discipline him if something is wrong! You are watching the old man again, and the old man will definitely make this son a talent.
You serve Your Majesty for a day!
Your Majesty will protect him in the Golden Dragon Guard for one day, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
If you marry that Xue girl, you and that Xue Pan are also half brothers, and when the time comes, the two brothers will work together to serve Your Majesty, and that will also be a good thing!"
"What is the job of the household department?"
"There are fourteen divisions in the household department, each with different responsibilities, and it is still up to Your Majesty to decide what the position will be at that time."
Shui Zheng smiled secretly, this old fox, as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to plant this cash cow on the ground of the household, so even if this kid could earn more money in the future, it would have nothing to do with him.
However, this matter is beneficial to the country, and Shui Zheng still nodded in agreement: "Liu boy, as long as you should do this, then I can give you what you want."
What Shui Zheng said was not to give Liu Xianglian any title, but to let go of Baochai and place Xue Pan.
Originally, as long as the money was spent in place, these were things that came naturally.
Now, because he is too capable, Shui Zheng and Lei Zhongxuan have coveted each other, and all this has become so twists and turns.
"Or, like the Ministry of Heavenly Works, I can also set up a new second-level division under the Ministry of Households."
Liu Xianglian looked at the three of them and the ministers, and the three of them didn't talk about money, but they stinted with copper when they opened their mouths.
"Your Majesty is so gracious, if the grass people refuse, it is ignorant of lifting, and the grass people are willing, but please ask Your Majesty to agree to a reluctant request from the grass people!"
