Chapter 490: The county marquis manages the money

Shangshu Province is a very important place, all say three provinces and six departments, Menxia Province, Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province.

Since the Han Dynasty, Shangshu Province and even the prime minister of a country are located.

In order to improve the rule of the central government, Shangshu Province has long been idle and has not been re-established.

Moreover, there is a political affairs hall in Menxia Province, and there is no need for Shangshu Province to discuss political affairs.

In the current situation in the DPRK and China, His Majesty intentionally or unintentionally weakens the power of the prime minister, and even more dilutes the power of the prime minister.

The position of prime minister is too special, and the power of successive dynasties is too great to be checked and balanced.

Rebellion in a country often begins with the prime minister.

If Shangshu Province is restored again, the power of Shangshu will overpower Zhongshu Province, which will be a huge disaster for the rulers.

The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "Your Majesty, the minister means that the function of Shangshu is still there, not to re-establish the position of servant, but to let Zhang Yang continue to serve as a waiter, and transfer from Zhongshu Province to Shangshu Province." ”

Fang Xuanling said again: "Since this is the case, you can't give Zhang Yang too much power, there is no Shang Shu Order, and there is no servant shooting." ”

Li Shimin said again: "What position should Zhang Yang be given?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "Duzhi, persuade farmers, and camp fields." ”

Wudedian's conversation began to plan for Zhang Yang's future.

Zhang Yang, who is familiar with this moment, is already planning to retire.

Xu Jingzong returned to the Foreign Affairs Yuan, discussed with Zhang Daxiang, Zhang Dasu, and Li Chongyi the constitution of Tibet, and asked Songtsen Gampo to sign it.

At dusk, Zhang Yang returned home, and the little bear was carrying a shelf and plowing the ground with struggling steps.

Zhang Yang was stunned for a while, then nodded, "This bear is indeed too fat, and it should be allowed to plow the ground to lose weight." ”

As if he understood his master's words, the bear howled twice in disbelief.

Sitting down at home, Zhang Yang drank tea.

When the bear finished plowing the ground, Xiao Wu removed the shelf for it, and it consciously went to sit down in the basin and asked Xiao Wu to wash its paws and hair.

After washing, seeing that the child was crying in the cradle, the little bear ran to the hostess Li Yue again and helped push the cradle, and the little master stopped crying.

The bear was busy and tired.

It used to be small, but in four years, it has grown from a thin to a strong adult bear.

It's not yet at full growth.

Now it's only one or two sizes bigger than the average country dog.

However, when it stands upright, it is only a head shorter than an adult man.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "In a few days, our family won't need a carriage, just let it drag the carriage." ”

Hearing this, Li Yue glanced at her husband strangely, "How can you be willing to let it tow the carriage, no matter how you say it, it was raised by your own family." ”

It has become a member of the family, and after coming to this home for so long, it has long had feelings.

Zhang Yang sighed: "I am reluctant to let it carry a carriage, how can I be willing to let it plow the ground." ”

Li Yue was still holding the scroll, "It's a family, and it should also contribute to this family." ”

"Let it carry the wagon is also for the sake of this family."

The couple argued, and Aunt Wang came over and said, "Your Royal Highness, the people in the palace are here." ”

Zhang Yang looked at the door of the house, and saw that it was Wang Gonggong, and hurriedly took out two jars of pickled radishes from the warehouse in the corner of the courtyard, "Wang Gonggong, this is here to announce the decree." ”

Wang Gonggong took out an official seal, "This is the official seal of Shangshu, this time the jade bottle is a reward from Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has a decree to let Zhang Shangshu change from Zhongshu Shilang to Shangshu Provincial Shilang." ”

Zhang Yang took the official seal and said suspiciously: "Shangshu Province? ”

Wang Gonggong explained with a smile, "The old slave doesn't know either, it was proposed by Zhao Guogong in the Wude Palace. Let Zhang Shangshu be in charge of the power of agriculture and the power of support. ”

Zhang Yang handed him two jars of pickled radishes, "I hope my father-in-law will accept these two jars of pickled radishes." ”

"Zhang Shangshu is really ......" Wang Gonggong took the two jars, and said: "The old slave said a few more words, Your Majesty has no intention of restoring Shangshu Province, and Shangshu Province has been vacant for many years but few people take care of it, so it will be handed over to Zhang Shangshu, and the future power and government affairs are also in Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, and have nothing to do with Shangshu Province. ”

"Zhang Shangshu is only temporary, and there may be no one to serve in the future, and you may be the last."

"Thank you for the announcement."

"Then the old slave took his leave."

Li Yue took this small jade bottle, "There have always been very few people who can reward this thing, only the Son of Heaven values his person, and he can drink with the Son of Heaven when he gives this thing." ”

Zhang Yang put down the official seal, "What does Zhao Guogong mean by this old fox?" ”

Li Yue also looked at the official seal, "Shangshu Province has been idle for a long time, and the court needs someone to take care of it, Zhao Guogong knows very well in his heart that Shangshu Province will not be restored again, and the reason why this is done has the intention of beating, and an idle yamen is handed over to the husband, hoping that the husband can be independent." ”

"Oh, can't I be on my own? I am in charge of the entire Ministry of Rites, and I don't want to say that I still pay money every year. ”

Li Yue supported his chin with one hand, looked at the official seal and said: "It's not useless, the husband holds the power to support the branch, and if he wants to put it in the Qin and Han dynasties, he can govern the history of Su, but he can ask about the wealth, the warehouse, the left and right households, the gold department, and the treasury department......"

"Wait." Zhang Yang interrupted: "Isn't this a matter of the household department?" ”

Li Yue shook his head, "The household department is only responsible for paying taxes on acres of land and household registration, and as for the whereabouts of the money, the husband asks." ”

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said, "That is, your father asked me to take care of the money?" ”

"That's what it means, but don't take it too seriously, you always only use the Son of Heaven, and most of you won't ask Shangshu Province, it's just a false title."

In the past, the daughter-in-law who looked forward to her husband Jackie Chan now has a feeling of seeing it.

Noticing her gaze, Li Yueqiong's nose wrinkled, "What is my husband looking at me like this?" ”

Zhang Yang took her hand, "You are more mature than before." ”

The couple sat side by side, their faces close together so that they could feel each other's breathing.

Li Yue smiled softly, "Husband thinks I was immature before? ”

"I just think that you used to think that I was an official, and you would be happier, but now that I am being set aside, you are relieved."

"If my husband is seriously ill when I am thirty years old, I will definitely not let my father take advantage of my husband like this."

Zhang Yang nodded, "Yes, your father is taking advantage of it, you and I finally have a consensus, this is a good thing, we should celebrate with this consensus, drink tonight." ”

Holding these big rough hands and feeling the warmth of the palms, Li Yue said again: "Will there really be such a day when my husband is thirty years old?" ”

"I'm fooling them."

Li Yue suddenly smiled again, "Speaking of which, my husband has always paid attention to health preservation, and he should live a long life." ”

"Can I drink at night?"

The whispering between husband and wife was interrupted by Xiao Wu's sudden question.

Li Yue stroked her hair bun, "The teacher has quit drinking for so long, and if you quit, you will quit, and you don't want to drink anymore, let your master drink alone." ”

My aunt made three or two small dishes and served them on the table.

Zhang Yang drank the wine, considering the wealth and power of the court, this emperor is really good at picking a seat, but he is the official in charge of money.

……

Late at night, Li Tai sat at the entrance of the village and listened to a group of old gentlemen who claimed to be full of poetry and books, and read through the ancient and modern times to talk about the topic of life and death.

"Can't you old gentlemen solve it?" Li Tai's expression was a little more pathetic.

Several old people looked at each other speechlessly, and had no choice but to reply: "Back to His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the beauty of this question is that you can't think about it with common sense, and please give the old man more time to think about it." ”

Li Tai ate the vegetable leaves, "Okay, don't embarrass you, go back and rest early." ”

"Whoa."

He was still chewing vegetable leaves in his mouth, and he asked people to send these old people away.

King Wei wants to lose weight, and a group of guards from King Wei's mansion also want to lose weight, accompanying His Royal Highness King Wei to eat vegetable leaves.

Li Tai put down the empty bowl in his hand, "Hasn't there been any news from the Hongwen Pavilion yet?" ”

The guard replied, "I'll ask again in the morning." ”

"When will the cane sugar in Lingnan arrive?"

"This year, the wind and rain in Lingnan are smooth, and the growth of various crops is also very good, and I think it will be another bumper harvest, and more cane sugar will be harvested in July."

Seeing that King Wei had finished eating the vegetable leaves, the guard sensibly handed over a chicken leg.

To lose weight, you can't just eat vegetables and leaves, and don't eat meat.

His Royal Highness the King of Wei always has to serve some meat after eating the vegetable leaves.

Li Tai nibbled on the chicken leg and looked at the letter sent by Luoyang, the price of sugar over there had risen to five hundred guan a bucket, "What a group of insatiable guys." ”

In the morning, Li Yue was busy dressing her husband in official clothes and haircuts, "Since my father handed over the position of Du Zhilang to my husband, it is inevitable to ask about the places where money will be used in the court in the future." ”

Zhang Yang looked at himself in the bronze mirror, his daughter-in-law was helping him tie her hair, her pajamas were loose, half-covered.

"Don't make trouble, husband, it's too late." Li Yue put on the official hat, and noticed something wrong, "Huh? How can this official hat ......?"

"In order to make the official hat more breathable, I hollowed out the upper edge, so that I won't be stuffy when I wear it."

Li Yue observed for a long time, "If you don't look carefully, it's really not easy to find." ”

Grabbing her husband's claws, Li Yue blushed and said, "The child is in the yard." ”

“……”

"Don't delay the time, husband."

After speaking, she poured out a pot of milk, which her husband always likes to use to soak her feet.

The child switched to rice porridge, and the daughter-in-law's condition improved a lot, and the frequency of milking was also reduced.

Zhang Yang put on official boots, ate Xiao Wu's steamed buns, and hurriedly went out.

Today's early dynasty is a bit special, and Songtsen Gampo still has to carry out the affairs of being a vassal in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhang Yang followed the crowd of the early dynasty out of Chengtianmen.

Xu Jingzong walked aside, "I heard that Your Majesty transferred Zhang Shangshu to Shangshu Province?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Zhao Guogong's idea." ”

"This old fox doesn't want the power of Zhongshu Province to have a share of Shangshu in the future."

"Is this a court dispute?" Zhang Yang's expression was solemn, "I was really isolated and excluded by them." ”

"The lower officials will always be on Zhang Shangshu's side."

Walking into the hall, some people were smiling and chatting about family life, some people were preparing to report today, and some people were dozing off early in the morning.

"Xia Guan has always had a doubt in his heart."

"What doubts?"

Xu Jingzong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "This Songtsen Gampo knows too many things, including the whereabouts of Xue Yantuo Khan, if this person returns to Tubokou without any obstacles...... Whether you want to kill him or not. ”

"Lao Xu, we need the hearts of the people of Tubo, this person can't be killed yet."

"Okay, the lower official went back to find an excuse, just said that the Yinan Khan deliberately wanted to stay in the Central Plains."

"This is the squire of our Ministry of Rites, don't kill people at every turn, we are good people, then we must show the appearance of good people, we must stand on the right side, so as not to be left behind, and many things can go more smoothly in the future."

"Yes, we're good people." Xu Jingzong nodded heavily, even if the Foreign Affairs Yuan kills people and destroys other countries, what does it have to do with the blood flowing in the Western Regions and the Foreign Affairs Yuan, we are good people, and they are bad people.

At the beginning of the early dynasty, Zhang Daxiang, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, stood out of the court, and Songtsen Gampo was summoned to enter the Taiji Palace.

According to the previous process of claiming the status of ministers, Songtsen Gampo apologized, made amends, and admitted his mistakes.

Songtsen Gampo will judge the situation and know how to advance and retreat.

He knew very well that there was no point in continuing to fight with Datang now.

Don't be proud when the other party is forbearing, only those who can forbear must guard against him, Songtsen Gampo should be as arrogant as Gaochang and his son, but it is easy to deal with.

Now that Tubo Zampu bowed his head and admitted his mistake, the Foreign Affairs Yuan had nothing to do with him.

Gags are common, and Zhang Yang is in a daze and doesn't know what happened next in the early dynasty.

It wasn't until I woke up that I found that the people in the temple had gone seven, seven, eight, eight.

Glancing around, his eyes fell on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing outside the hall, Zhang Yang asked curiously: "Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waiting for?" ”

Li Chengqian said helplessly: "You have just been transferred to Shangshu Province, when your father served in Shangshu Province, Lone also knew some matters in Shangshu Province, and took you over." ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Lao."

The direction of Shangshu Province is the same as Zhongshu Province, but it is necessary to walk a little longer, bypassing Zhongshu Province, and a lot of weeds grow in the stone cracks on the road.

There are no pedestrians here, and it looks desolate.

Walking to a mansion, the handwriting on the door plaque is faintly visible, Shangshu Province.

Li Chengqian pushed open the old door and walked inside, the situation inside was even worse, with patches of weeds.

The main hall of Zhongshu Province is even more dilapidated, and many tiles have fallen.

Li Chengqian explained: "After my father ascended the throne, this place has been sealed, and no one has set foot in it for a long time, and there are still many files left, which are all in the Wude period. ”

This Shangshu Province is an empty yamen, and he is the only official here.

The courtyard is very wide, a few points wider than the Zhongshu Province, and a cold wind blows, making the place look gloomy.

Li Anyan came with someone, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the dossier sent by the Ministry of Households." ”

Li Chengqian nodded, "Let's all move in." ”

"Whoa."

Zhang Yang rolled up his sleeves, picked up the broom placed in the corner, and the weather-beaten broom he had just picked up fell apart on the spot, speechless for a while......

Li Chengqian said again: "I think you also know that the DPRK and the Central Committee are tight, and you have been quite effective in running Lishan, and Zhao Guogong also hopes that there will be a person in the DPRK who arranges the amount of money in the DPRK and the Central Committee, and you have the ability to operate and dispatch, and I also hope that the DPRK and the Central Government can become rich, and the Korean and Chinese silver money is involved in many matters, especially after the imperial examination this year......

It's too late to clean up here, watching the piles of files being sent, Zhang Yang picked up a volume at random and looked at it, if he didn't read it, he didn't know, these files were bills that made people's scalp tingle, and there were still a lot of money owed to them.

Zhang Yang whispered: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, no one will come to me to collect debts and ask for money." ”

Li Chengqian made a mistake: "I don't know if I'm lonely, most of the time...... No one will ask for it. ”
