Chapter 52: A new orphan search department was established

In the courtyard, the mother and daughter held hands and slowly had each other.

"Emperor, how long have you been talking to the queen mother?" Empress Qi said softly.

"The sons also want to accompany their mothers more, but the major affairs of the court and politics cannot be put down, because the sons are not considerate." The little emperor bowed his head and said, Emperor Jingren, who is admired by thousands of people outside, will always be a child in front of his mother.

"You are both the king of Dasheng and the daughter of the mourning family." Empress Qi sighed, "If someone wants to take you away from the mourning family, even if the mourning family fights for this old life, they will bring you back!" ”

Emperor Jingren bowed his head and was silent.

"Do you remember how the first emperor taught you before?"

"What did the Queen Mother say?"

Empress Qi smiled, "You have grown up and learned to pretend to be confused in front of the mourning family." ”

"Erchen doesn't dare." Emperor Jingren hurriedly bowed.

"The emperor of the country should put all the people first!" Empress Qi said in a straight voice, "You are not the Majesty of Chen Chong alone, nor the Majesty of the hundred officials of the imperial court, you are the emperor of Dasheng!" ”

"Because of this, the sons must be considered for the majesty of my Dasheng, once this matter spreads among the people, it will inevitably cause public indignation, my Dasheng is now the back of the north and the south, in case the people's hearts are lost, where will the conscription come from in the future?"

"Confused!" Empress Qi rebuked, "You are an emperor, not a sage!" ”

"Are the people afraid that you will make a mistake? What they fear is that you know you've made a mistake and you don't want to repent! ”

Emperor Jingren was stunned and stopped in place.

"If you did the right thing, then how could Wen Chen kill Chen Chong's father and son so easily? Are your Imperial Guards and your Zhenguo Division all decorations?! ”

"The hearts of the people will not be closed in an instant, nor will they be lost in an instant, but as the king of a country, although you have shocked the court, you still lack the control of the people's hearts!"

Emperor Jingren gritted his teeth, "There are more ministers to learn from Wen Chen in the future......"

Empress Dowager Qi shook her head, "Attentive and attentive, not in the head, but in the heart." ”

"The queen mother taught me a lesson." Emperor Jingren said respectfully, and swept to the door of the study in the distance, Wen Chen and Concubine Jing were talking and laughing, so comfortable.

"Alas......" Empress Dowager Qi patted her on the back when she saw this, "Emperor, you can think wrong, but you must not do it wrong, Wen Chen is a smart person, it will be good for you to let him enter the court as soon as possible." ”

Although the old empress dowager does not participate in the government politics, over the years, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government have changed one after another, and her ability to recognize people has long been perfected.

Her daughter understands in her heart that although she doesn't show her thoughts easily, as long as she looks at her, Queen Qi knows that she can naturally handle this matter properly.

"Erchen understands."

Returning to the study again, none of the four monarchs and ministers took the lead in speaking.

Wen Chen still looked like he was ignorant of answers, and from time to time in front of the little emperor, he hooked Concubine Jing's fingers, which made Concubine Jing blush for a while.

The old eunuch's eyes moved back and forth on the two of them, wanting to find a topic to break the deadlock, but he was afraid of upsetting His Majesty, so he could only shake his head secretly.

"Duke Wen......" The little emperor's voice was slightly hoarse.

"Now you remember to call Gong Wen? Why did you go earlier? Wen Chen hugged his arms and snorted.

The old eunuch on the side was so angry that he gave him a kick in the ass, "Give you a step and you will go down, what so much nonsense!" ”

The little emperor waved his hand, "It's my short-sightedness, if it weren't for Duke Wen to control this matter for me, I would have almost made a big mistake!" ”

Wen Chen smiled in his eyes, seeing that it was really not as good as his mother, and no one could talk as well as his mother!

"Your Majesty knows that you are wrong?"

When the old eunuch heard it, he wanted to come up again to teach a lesson, this kid didn't speak lightly or seriously!

"Stand down!" Emperor Jingren hurriedly stopped with his eyes, then stood up and bowed deeply to Wen Chen, "I, know my mistake!" ”

This made Wen Chen a little surprised, he didn't expect this little girl to be able to put down her body like this, he still has a killer weapon that he didn't use.

"Gong Wen, how do you think this matter should be concluded?"

Wen Chen was also unambiguous, "It should be rewarded, it should be punished, in Weichen's opinion, the people who helped Chen Chongzhi's father and son get rid of their crimes before should not be left ......"

"Wen Chen is talking about those people in the six doors, not about Your Majesty." Pei Zhi hurriedly helped to find a supplementary way.

The little emperor bowed slightly, but he was not angry," he continued. ”

"If Your Majesty wants to save your reputation, you will order the imperial court to allocate funds to design a department to search for orphans, severely crack down on all illegal acts of abducting and trafficking women and children, find one case, severely punish one case, and dispatch manpower to provide help to the people who come to report the case to find their relatives, look for clues in various states, and help them find their relatives as soon as possible, so as to show Your Majesty's determination!"

Several people looked sideways when they heard this, this idea is really unique.

In Dasheng, there are countless such cases, but every time a suspect is caught, the most he is killed, because the process of finding trafficked human beings is cumbersome, and the consumption of manpower and silver is also very huge, so ordinary local officials are not willing to take care of this matter.

But if the search for orphans is at the juncture of Chen Qian's crime, and is led by the imperial court, the effect will be very different, first, it can minimize the negative public opinion generated by Chen Chongzhi's father and son, and second, it can gather people's hearts and design a special search for orphans, which can better reflect His Majesty's determination to think and rely on the people, which is really a double win!

"Wen Chen, your idea is good, but the treasury has inexplicably more than such an expense, I'm afraid that someone will not agree." The little emperor frowned.

Don't look at this matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, the case-handling personnel of the Orphan Search Division spend money on weekdays, and it is a great expense to go out to find relatives for the people, eat, drink, and even buy news.

In recent years, the treasury has been in short supply, and an extra expenditure means that these ministers have less dividends, how can they easily agree?

"It's easy." Wen Chen smiled slightly, "This matter is proposed by His Majesty, and you can call on the ministers and hundreds of officials to donate in advance and play a leading role, so that we can drive caring civilians and wealthy businessmen to join us, donate love, and relieve a lot of financial pressure." ”

"But these expenses can't all be raised by donations!" Pei Zhi asked.

Wen Chen nodded, "That's right, Wechen plans to divide the annual expenditure of the Orphan Hunting Division into ten parts, the imperial court allocates thirty percent, the society donations two percent, and the remaining fifty percent is paid by Wechen himself!" ”

In this way, the pressure on the court can be reduced.

"You?" The little emperor raised his eyebrows, "Where did you get so much silver?" ”

"Not now, but there will be later." Wen Chen said confidently.

"You kid won't be the next Wei Cheng, right?" Pei Zhi glanced at him cautiously.

"Of course not, the small ones earn clean silver taels, just take the man incense that Pei Gonggong brought back last time, the small ones are ready to mass-produce it and make it into an assembly line, and the silver taels will not be a lot of them at that time?" Wen Chen chuckled.

"That's a way to go." Concubine Jing accosted on the side, "The men's incense brought back by Gonggong Pei is very fond of this palace, and it is smeared every day." ”

The little emperor frowned, "It's a good thing, but I prefer a ...... with a stronger flavor."

Wen Chen was shocked in his heart, he didn't see it!

It is said that people with heavy tastes are not only bold, but also very adventurous, and most importantly, the demand is also very strong, and I don't know if I can resist it in the future......

"We like ......"

"You're not important!" Wen Chen directly interrupted Pei Zhi's enjoyment, the orange flavor was the standard for the eunuchs in the future, and he didn't have time to seek their opinions.

Emperor Jingren rubbed his eyeframes, looked at Wen Chen and said, "Then this matter is decided, tomorrow morning, I will completely hand over the East Factory to you, and you will be fully responsible for this case, but ......"

Seeing that the little emperor was hesitant, Wen Chen understood what she was thinking, and quietly glanced at Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi immediately understood, bowed down and said, "Taifu Chen Chongzhi, he was heartbroken by his son Chen Qian's crime, and he had no shame to face the Holy Grace, and he died in the Zhenguo Division!" ”

This is already the last dignity that Wen Chen can think of, giving the little emperor.

Emperor Jingren nodded gratefully towards Wen Chen, "Thank you." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, stand down." ”

"Yes, my lord." The trio saluted.

Wen Chen was about to turn around, but he heard a voice from behind him, "Gong Wen, please stay......"

Gotcha, I've been caught as a coolie again.

Pei Zhi's body stiffened, turned his head, glanced at Wen Chen inexplicably, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, where did you kid offend Your Majesty?" ”

"Inquire less if you shouldn't!" Wen Chen pressed his palm on the old eunuch's back and pushed him out.

The door is closed.

After a while, there was a whisper, "Your Majesty, bow to Weichen again?" ”

"Presumptuous!" After a while, "Is that so?" ”

"The waist and abdomen are sinking, and the buttocks are raised a little ......"

"Yes, yes...... That's it......"
