Chapter 436: The Emperor's Grace Descends
In the thirteenth year of Wanli, in the golden autumn, the jade dragon was already flying in the sky, dancing all over the city's pear blossoms, making the universe white.
Sonor!
And a gong sounded, and at this moment, Yu suddenly appeared in the chessboard street of the rotten silver pile, attracting the attention of Yu Shenxing and Zhao Nanxing, who were chatting in the restaurant.
Then, Yu Shenxing saw that two large boxes of silver dollars, as white as the earth, were opened in front of the door of a house, and a team of green-robed officials and green-robed officials appeared here, along with many red cards.
And one of the officials at the front was holding a paperwork and handing over to a young man who had come out of the door of the house, and in a short time the young man ordered the servant to carry two large boxes of silver ingots in.
"That's the mansion of Shen Yucheng (Shen Li), the right attendant of the ministry!"
Zhao Nanxing said with a complicated expression at this time.
Yu Shenxing asked, "Then what's going on with these two big boxes of silver dollars?" ”
"Look at the plaque with the sign of 'Huangming Mining', it should be a subscription coupon to share profits; it turns out that His Majesty really wants to share the profits to the people!"
Zhao Nanxing couldn't hide his disappointment and continued.
The corners of Yu Shenxing's mouth raised slightly: "It seems that you can divide a lot!" ”
Zhao Nanxing said: "It is estimated that it is a lot. ”
Yu Shenxing then looked back at Zhao Nanxing and asked, "Did you buy it?" ”
Zhao Nanxing shook his head slightly, and then said, "No!" I have never advocated that the court should benefit the people. ”
"Yu bought some."
Yu Shenxing was talking when he saw his stepson Yu Wei suddenly come here: "Master, you are really here, the Ministry of Commerce has come to share the profits, there are three big boxes of silver, and my wife asked me to call you back to thank God." ”
After Yu Wei said that, because he saw that Zhao Nanxing was also there, he hurriedly bowed his hand to Zhao Nanxing: "I've seen Uncle Shi!" ”
Zhao Nanxing had already looked at Yu Shenxing, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and even seemed to have a blazing fire burning in his eyes, and asked Yu Shenxing:
"Didn't the public ask the court not to forcibly seize the people's interests? Why did you buy it yourself, and it seems to be more than him Shen Yucheng (Shen Li)! ”
Zhao Nanxing was really surprised by this.
"This, I have been on this sparsely, but I just hope that Your Majesty will not force the people to buy subscription coupons, so as not to cause public anger;"
"After all, the imperial court has indeed lost credibility in issuing banknotes."
"But this is not to say that I will not buy it myself, and I will not support the imperial court to try to increase the income of the state treasury and benefit the world by developing foreign benefits!"
"I still hope that the imperial court can really benefit the people!"
Yu Shenxing explained.
Zhao Nanxing's breathing became a little heavy, and he asked again: "We are also close friends, but why did Uncle Shaozong buy it by himself and not tell Yu Contemptible?" ”
"The public is a righteous man and a gentleman!"
"How can I often talk about profits in front of a gentleman, so I am not good at talking about wealth and profit in front of the public, not to mention that when this subscription coupon cannot be really distributed by the court, I am not sure that the court really wants to use this to share benefits and benefit the people:"
"What if it is indeed for the purpose of taking advantage of the people by subscribing to the coupons, and repeating the treasure money?"
"It's nothing that my family has suffered a heavy loss, but if the princes lose and lose because of me, then what face do I have to see the princes?"
"So, how can I mention it in front of the public?"
Yu Shenxing said, "Presumably the public doesn't mind!" After all, the public is a true gentleman! ”
Zhao Nanxing forced a smile indifferently: "I don't care about these financial benefits, the main thing is that I didn't expect the public to buy subscription coupons!" ”
"I bought it to help the country, I didn't really want to make a profit."
Yu Shenxing explained, and then said: "But since the emperor's grace has descended, how can the contemptible people not accept it, let me go back and thank you and then reunite with the public!" ”
"Unaccompanied!"
"I'll invite the public to drink another day!"
Yu Shenxing said that his stepson walked downstairs.
"Be careful, sir, it's snowing outside!"
"What are you afraid of when it snows, even if you get a knife, you have to go back to thank the emperor quickly, otherwise it will not be the way of a human minister!"
Yu Shenxing's words echoed in the teahouse.
But Zhao Nanxing was silent for a long time, and then shook his head again, and said to himself: "What am I angry about, am I ashamed because I didn't help the country?" ”
At this time, Shen Li had also come out to thank him in front of the officials of the Ministry of Commerce who had announced the distribution of profits.
At the same time, Shi Xing, who was returning with Chen Jingbang, also noticed that there were many officials outside his mansion when he heard a gong.
Shi Xing felt strange for a while: "This is not the year of Dabi, how can there be an official to block the door?" It's like someone hit the first place! ”
With that, Shi Xing walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Jingbang also got off the sedan chair with some curiosity and walked over.
At this time, Shi Maolun came over and said to Shi Xing: "It was the Ministry of Commerce who came to give us the money for the mining profits, a total of three thousand two hundred and sixteen silver dollars, and now we are waiting for you to come back and sign for the thanks." ”
"Mineral profits?"
Chen Jingbang glanced at Shi Xing at this time, and asked first: "Didn't the public say that he would not compete with the people for profit, didn't he buy this subscription coupon, why did he pay so many silver dollars?" ”
"I don't buy much!"
"Not much!"
"For the sake of your loyalty, I naturally bought some."
Shi Xing said with a smile, and then glanced at Ai Cheng, a member of the Ministry of Commerce, and said in a low voice: "Why are you so high-profile in distributing profits, beating gongs and drums, and coming to deliver them in broad daylight, and carrying cash!" ”
"How can the emperor's grace come secretly, the public is inevitably disrespectful!"
Tang Yaoqin, who was also in charge of supervising the entire process, said Shi Xing in a deep voice at this time.
Shi Xing suddenly looked embarrassed, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Contemptible people are speechless, please don't blame me, the emperor's grace should indeed be bright." ”
Shi Xing hurriedly asked Shi Maolun as he spoke: "Is the incense case ready?" ”
Shi Maolun nodded.
"Then order the family to come and kneel down to receive the emperor's grace!"
Shi Xing knelt down first after speaking.
Chen Jingbang had returned to the sedan chair here, and his whole face became very ugly, especially when he saw Shi Xing take out the subscription coupon and kneel down to receive the profit, he couldn't help but grit his teeth for a while and said, "This is just some?" That's a lot! ”
"It's a lot!"
Boom!
Chen Jingbang directly dropped a cup of tea on the low table in the sedan chair to the ground.
Shi Xing, Ai Cheng, Tang Yaoqin and other officials couldn't help but look over.
Chen Jingbang was quite embarrassed, so he had to smile and said, "It's okay, it's just that I accidentally knocked over the teacup." ”
Chen Jingbang said that he hurriedly asked the sedan chair man to carry him away from here, and as soon as he left here, he saw Zhao Nanxing walking towards him in despair, and he was busy asking people to invite Zhao Nanxing to come.
Zhao Nanxing rejected Chen Jingbang's invitation, because he was not in a good mood now, especially after hearing a gong and a burst of drums, and then seeing a colleague get the silver dollar, he could not contain the jealousy in his heart.
……
"You've got all the benefits, right?"
Next.
Serving the Imperial Division, Zhu Yijun smiled and asked the ruling ministers Shen Shixing, Chen Jingbang and others.
Shen Shixing, Qi Jiguang, Zhang Xueyan and others all smiled and said:
"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, they have all received the reward of the mine, and the ministers are so fortunate to be able to meet this Yao Shun reappearance in the world."
Zhu Yijun nodded at this time, and then looked at Chen Jingbang:
"Everyone is happy, why is Chen Qing looking disappointed, didn't Chen Qing buy the subscription coupon?"
