Following.

Vertical arch hall.

Today's view of the entire Bianjing, all the people who are in Beijing and qualified to go to the temple have all come.

Because everyone heard yesterday that Zhang Tang and Guan Ning, who were sent to Nanyang County by His Majesty, and all the people sent by their own household department returned to Beijing yesterday.

And their return also means that the matter of Nanyang County has officially come to an end, and a few days ago, Prime Minister Zhang He's speech in the court also set the tone for the suspension of Qingzhang Tianmu and Qingcha Temple.

Then today's court meeting will begin to discuss meritorious deeds.

Everyone knows that although Zhang Tang is angry with the "people" in Nanyang County, he is a great achievement for the court and His Majesty.

Not only did all the temples in Nanyang County be inventoried, and a lot of land was found for the imperial court, but a large number of men were also liberated to return to daily production in the process of inventory.

That's not all, those temples are not poor, don't look at those monks who are poor monks all day long, but everyone knows that people's Buddha statues are golden, and Buddhism has never been a Yuan person.

Unless it is really an upright Buddhist temple, there are few poor Buddhist temples that can be passed down locally.

Zhang Tang is afraid that he can scavenge a lot of silver.

The main reason why everyone came here was because of the money.

The amount of silver is not yet known, but each department has already thought of sharing the profits.

As soon as the hundred officials entered the vertical arch hall, the group of civil officials instantly attracted everyone's attention.

What do you say?

A few bears suddenly mixed in with a group of thin civil officials, which was the main reason for everyone's attention.

I saw that in the queue of household officials, Cui Shangshu took the lead and stood in the first row.

Behind him, the left and right attendants stood in the second row, and the left attendants were fine, no different from usual.

But the appearance of the right waiter Li Xiaowu now makes people look sideways frequently.

was originally five feet to six feet tall, but now it has suddenly grown to 7 feet!

This is not the end, the originally thin physique is not inferior to the group of generals opposite at the moment, look at the thick arms.

The Ministry of Works, who was not far away, looked at his arm and looked at other people's, and turned his head silently.

That arm is thicker than his own legs!

And there are more than three people in the household department who can go to court, and there are seven or eight household officials who went to Nanyang County at the beginning, standing behind Cui Shangshu like a human wall, looking at the people in other departments with disdain, like the boss of the underworld.

When the officials of the other departments saw this posture, they subconsciously distanced themselves from them.

Finally, with Wang Huaien's ascension to the court, Zhao Jun slowly came to the throne under the watchful eye of everyone.

After a routine meeting to solve daily problems, the meeting finally came to the main topic of today.

Zhao Jun first glanced at the people below, and then said:

"Half a year ago, the incident of Daxiangguo Temple made me aware of the hidden filth and dirt of Buddhism, which led me to decide to carry out a national temple census and change the regulations of temples in the world.

It aims to crack down on those monasteries that do things that harm nature and reason for the sake of profit, regulate the monks of monasteries all over the world, and clean up the evildoers hiding in the monasteries.

At that time, after thousands of choices, I finally found Zhang Aiqing as the main envoy and went to Nanyang.

Before Zhang Aiqing went to Nanyang, I once said that as long as Zhang Aiqing can do this well and do it well, I will not hesitate to reward him.

At that time, when Zhang Aiqing first entered the court, I first gave me a position in the Ministry of Rites.

Originally, according to what I promised before, I should remove the code of Zhang Aiqing after this time.

However, what Zhang Aiqing did on this trip really satisfied me! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Jun deliberately glanced at the direction of the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, who had not come today, bowed their heads one after another, trying to reduce their sense of existence.

Zhao Jun smiled and continued:

"Zhang Tang's trip has completely cleaned up all the illegal Buddhist temples in Nanyang County for my Great Song Dynasty, and cleared more than 500,000 hectares of new land for my Great Song Dynasty.

These more than 500,000 hectares of new land are enough to double the tax revenue of Nanyang County!

That's a big job! ”

When Zhao Jun said this, the hundreds of officials below nodded one after another, and the fields that the imperial court could collect taxes have increased, which is naturally a good thing, it is correct, no one can put a beak, and no one dares to deny the merits of this.

Zhao Jun continued:

"Not only that, Zhang Tang also cooperated with the official name in the follow-up operation of Guanning and checked 500,000 hectares of land for my Great Song Dynasty, which is another achievement.

During the operation, Zhang Tang was assassinated by local forces!

This is a huge risk, but Zhang Tang still meticulously completed his own work, and added nearly 10,000 lay monks to the imperial court, which is undoubtedly a great benefit for the recovery of the population of Nanyang County.

It can be said that Zhang Aiqing did not easily complete this time.

So after thinking about it, I decided to mention the reward promised to Zhang Aiqing again, Wang Shangshu? ”

At the end of the words, Zhao Jun suddenly called Wang Ruixue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Wang Ruixue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister is here!" ”

Zhao Jun asked, "I remember that the Ministry of Rites is still empty now, right?" ”

Wang Ruixue immediately nodded and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it's true, the left and right former waiters have been questioned by Your Majesty because of their involvement in the case of Daxiangguo Temple, and since then, there have been no waiters in the Ministry of Rites." ”

At this point, Zhao Jun's face showed some embarrassment, but it quickly disappeared again.

Although the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Rites were killed by himself, he did not regret it, they did such things, and killing them was simply cheaper for them.

Coughing lightly, Zhao Jun continued: "Since that's the case, how about letting Zhang Tang serve as the new right attendant of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Wang Ruixue pondered for a moment and immediately replied: "Yes! ”

But then he asked: "But Your Majesty, when will Your Majesty make up for the post of Zuo Shilang of my Ministry of Rites to the old minister?"

During this period of time, the old minister was in charge of the entire Ministry of Rites alone, and he was really more than capable of doing so! ”

Zhao Jun immediately snorted and said: "It's hard work, Wang Shangshu, with Zhang Aiqing's help, Wang Shangshu doesn't have to work so hard in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites."

Wang Shangshu can also take a little rest. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Jun immediately changed the topic and looked at the household.

As for when will the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites make up for people?

I don't know, you just wait.

Don't ask me! I don't know anything!

When Zhao Jun turned his gaze to the household, the chest of Cui Wen, the secretary of the household, immediately straightened up.

In the past, the household department had no money, and every time Cui Wen went to court, he hid aside, hoping that others would not notice him.

But today is different, today the household department is rich!

No one is afraid!

Money is the courage of heroes, and money is also the courage of Hubu Shangshu!

Zhao Jun looked funny, he didn't expect Cui Shangshu to have such a side, but he just shook his head and asked:

"Cui Shangshu, when Zhang Aiqing came back yesterday, he said that the harvest of this trip had been sent to the household department yesterday, but had he counted the specific amount?"

Cui Wen immediately strode out and arched his hand: "Your Majesty! Last night, I counted the whole night! ”

The crowd immediately pricked up their ears and listened.

Cui Wen looked around, and then said loudly: "But the minister hasn't had time to ask how many!" ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including Zhao Jun, suddenly had black lines on their faces.

You don't know why you're so arrogant?

We thought it was a lot!

Zhao Jun helplessly rubbed his forehead and asked, "Then who knows?" ”

Cui Shangshu immediately replied: "Li Xiaowu of the Ministry of Household Affairs knows that Li Xiaowu stayed in the Ministry of Household all night yesterday. ”

Zhao Jun waved his hand: "Then let Li Xiaowu step forward and reply." ”

Cui Wen nodded and strode back.

And Li Xiaowu separated the two people in front of him and walked out in great strides.

As for the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites who were ruthlessly pulled apart by him.

Who cares?

"Your Majesty, after the inventory of our household department yesterday night, the specific amount of all the gold and silver has been liquidated, a total of 11,219,632 taels of silver, and 193,721 taels of yellow.

The combination of the two amounted to 13,156,842 taels of silver!

The rest of the treasures, calligraphy, paintings, antique scrolls, etc., have not yet been counted because it is difficult to determine their value! ”

Wow!

One thousand three hundred fifty six thousand eight hundred forty-two taels of silver!

This terrifying number suddenly silenced the ministers in the hall!

They knew that Zhang Tang and they must not have lost any money on this trip, but they didn't expect them to get so much!

It's just so inhuman – can't help but rub your hands!
