"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother! - "Guan Hejun had the courage to shake his hand in front of the Queen Mother's eyes.

"Huh?! ——" The Queen Mother came to her senses and helped her sideburns: "Listen to the mourning family, you said that you want the harem to learn from the former dynasty, and the money given to the palace people will also be distributed according to the official rank...... Go on! ——”

"The Queen Mother, Xiao Guanzi has studied, if the salary is composed according to the 'monthly example, monthly rice, public funds and Enjia silver', etc., and 'fixed posts, fixed staff, and fixed quotas', the number of people who will expand every year will actually save a lot of money to ......"

"This mourner has also made a calculation, and it is true; But Xiao Guanzi, to what extent do you mean to raise the salaries of the palace people? ——”

"My suggestion is not to mention it too high at the beginning: if you are a four-grade person, you will have eight taels of silver per month, eight buckets of rice per month, and the money at public expense will always be three hundred; If you have five products, you will have seven taels of silver per month, seven buckets of rice, and the money system at public expense will always be two hundred...... The rest can be reduced in descending order. ”

"What if it's a palace person with no rank or rank?" The Queen Mother asked.

"Then let's divide it into three classes! ——

The first class has three taels of silver per month, three buckets of rice, and 600 yuan of money at public expense; The second-class monthly silver is two and a half, the rice is two and a half, and the public fund system is 600 Wen; The third class has two taels of silver per month, two buckets of rice, and 600 yuan of money at public expense. ”

The Queen Mother sank down and calculated: "There are also rewards such as 'festival rewards, birthday rewards, and overtime rewards' that are not counted......"

"Xiao Guanzi also has this intention! - "Guan and Junle promise that talking to smart people is just this good!"

"But ......" the Queen Mother frowned: "Mainly the ministers of the previous dynasty, they will definitely oppose it fiercely......"

"Xiao Guanzi and the Holy Lord have also discussed this issue! The overall salary of hundreds of officials is indeed not low, but if you want to consider that the whole family has to be an official to support one, it does seem a little stretched......"

The Queen Mother rubbed the jade ring on her finger, and Guan Youjun felt that the small movements of the mother and son when thinking were surprisingly consistent......

"Then according to the number of relatives and servants in the family, another sum of silver will be issued, for example, a county order will be counted as fifteen to twenty people up and down the family...... But in what name is this money to be distributed? ”

"How about calling it 'Raising Honest Silver'?!" Guan Yo-kun suggested with great interest.

Although the "clean silver" system implemented during the Qing Dynasty has exacerbated corruption, the name and intention of the people are still very good! ~

"Hmm~ It's a good name......" The Queen Mother smiled slightly.

***

In the evening, the frame of Han Yinchu took the Queen Mother to the top of the city tower-

Under the faint light of the torches, the Queen Mother panted and climbed the stairs with her skirt: "Emperor, why do you have to go up to the city tower?!" Huh~Huh~Huh~ Wait, wait, wait, mourning will rest again......"

When they finally climbed the city tower, the soldiers on duty on the top turned around and shouted in unison, "Please the emperor, the queen mother!" ——”

Even if he was half-kneeling, his tall figure stood like a colorful flag hunting beside him.

Hiss-ha-hiss-ssizzle-Guan Hejun sucked the non-existent saliva, these soldier brothers all have an outstanding temperament similar to Han Yinchu, both like bamboo and like pine trees!

"Flatten! - "Han Yinchu waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to put up the torches on the castle tower one by one.

"Emperor, what is this for? ......" The Queen Mother just asked puzzledly, and suddenly heard "Bang!" from not far away! - "A rumbling explosion-

"Be careful! There are assassins! The Queen Mother suddenly turned pale, and hurriedly wanted to block her tall son with her thin body, and threw himself to the ground with him.

It's an instinctive reaction to war, and the sound is too much like gunpowder and birds......

"Don't panic the queen mother, it's just fireworks......" A warm current surged under Han Yin's heart, patted his mother's back to show comfort, and let the queen mother follow his direction and look at the sky hanging by a round of moon-

In the boundless blackness, a huge golden firework suddenly spreads out, crackling in the air, like gold dust scattered into the galaxy, and then disappears into the endless river of night......

The gold also disappeared into the Queen Mother's bright dark eyes, and she muttered, "It's a pity that it's so short-lived......"

Before the words fell, colorful and brilliant flowers exploded in the air one after another, like tireless flowers blooming in spring.

The smile on the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth never dropped again, and she kept jumping and turning, enjoying the beautiful scenery just for her: "That's a little rabbit, alas, that peony is really beautiful...... Huang'er, you also come to see~"

Han Yinchu helped the Queen Mother pull the luxurious dress, and was willing to be an unknown servant behind her.

As soon as the Queen Mother turned around, she saw Han Yinchu who was carrying her skirt, and her nose was sour: "No wonder the emperor must ask for clarification today...... It turns out that the emperor remembers it......"

"How can you forget? ——The regret of my father's life is that I didn't make up a huge wedding for my mother, so on the day of the founding ceremony of the emperor's grandfather and the day when my father was crowned the crown prince, my father tried his best to give you a fireworks that belonged to the queen mother......"

Guan Youjun didn't know how moved the Queen Mother was, but she herself was about to cry, it turned out that the Queen Mother and the former prince were "marriage first and love later"......

When I wait for myself in the future, I must find more "love after marriage" for the Queen Mother, she will definitely be able to love......

The Queen Mother wiped her tears for the first time today, and patted Han Yinchu's hand: "Chu'er, do you know why your father chose to set off fireworks?" ”

"I don't know."

"Your father said that he hoped that the smoke of gunpowder since then has been due to the fireworks of the prosperous and peaceful scene, not the gunpowder used in the war; The former allows the people to live in peace and prosperity, while the latter displaces and misbeliefs the people. ”

The Queen Mother looked at the people chattering and watching the fireworks downstairs in the city, staring at her son's handsome face; That gaze was the same as the way her husband used to look at his son.

Han Yinchu showed a sincere smile: "The queen mother can rest assured that her son will inherit his father's will and be a benevolent lord who will leave a name in history......"

The Queen Mother smiled meaningfully: "The Queen Mother naturally believes it, but ...... Xiao Guanzi! ~"The Queen Mother beckoned to Guan and Jun, and Guan and Jun followed in a hurry.

"Queen Mother, what is this? ......"Not only was Han Yin puzzled at the beginning, but Guan Youjun was even more confused-

Isn't this the time when the two of them are "mother and son" together? What did you call me to come over for?
