103 Ambition (Plus Plus)
Emperor Yongming didn't expect her to come up with it immediately, if it was so easy to make money, could the Manchu Dynasty civil and military do nothing? Can the head of the household department talk to various departments every day?
But he didn't mind putting pressure on Rong Zhao.
So, he smiled and said, "If you can come up with a way to make money, when Xu Shangshu is old, you will be the head of the household."
Xu Shangshu is not young.
In a few years, he should say goodbye to old age, and after he returns to his hometown, Rong Zhao is at best twenty years old, and the twenty-year-old Yipin Shangshu, not to mention the Dayan Dynasty, is not in history!
Rong Zhao shook his head and grinned: "Your Majesty, if you promise the minister, if the minister can think of a solution to the treasury crisis in one fell swoop, he will agree to my small request?"
Emperor Yongming looked at her: "Why do you all want to beg me to agree?"
He murmured, "King Ann is, and so are you."
Rong Zhao was pitiful and begged: "Your Majesty, it's really a very small request, otherwise the emperor can refuse ......"
"Can the requirement of a product official change be a small request?" Emperor Yongming glanced at her, with a see-through attitude.
Rong Zhao blinked his eyes and clenched his fists with both hands, "It's really a small request!"
King Jin looked at her with a smile, and his voice was gentle: "Grandpa Huang, you promise her, it's just a small request, how can Grandpa Huang control the world, how can he not be satisfied?"
Emperor Yongming thought for a moment and sighed: "Okay, you go and think of a way first, if it's really a good way, what if I promise you?" Okay!" Rong Zhao responded heartily.
She was about to say goodbye, when Emperor Yongming asked again: "Who do you think the position of the head of the Chamber of Commerce should be given to?"
Rong Zhao was stunned. She carefully observed Emperor Yongming's face and found that he was indeed a little entangled.
Rong Zhao was clear, and said softly: "This position is too important, and it must be given to a person who can work in this position for the rest of his life, without provoking any forces, or in other words, except for the emperor, the chief of affairs will not rely on anyone, and he must also have the strength to manage money."
It's hard to choose!
does not provoke any forces, and is always loyal to the emperor, has the ability, and can not think about being promoted, and work in this position for the rest of his life. Moreover, we must be absolutely not greedy, fair and just.
Counting the officials in the upper ranks, there is none.
Rong Zhao lowered his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, you are embarrassed by the minister, the minister can't think of anyone suitable for this position."
Emperor Yongming sighed
Qi: "Me too, think again."
King Jin glanced at Rong Zhao, he knew that Rong Zhao had an idea in his heart, but she didn't say it. - Who made Rong Zhao refuse to speak? Or is it not time to talk about it yet? Pei Huaibei was puzzled.
And Rong Zhao's conversation with Emperor Yongming had ended, and she left the imperial study.
Walking out the door, Rong Zhao let out a long breath. She had a choice, but she didn't know if that person had the ambition and courage......
Rong Zhao continued to leave early that day.
Xu Shangshu and many officials frowned, but they didn't say anything, and Rong Zhao went home happily. However, before she could return home, she was "robbed" again.
Teahouse.
Pei Chengjue, Pei Guanshan, Zhang Er, Zhang San, Guan Mengsheng, Zhao Gongzi, etc., it is rare for the sons of the capital families to gather again, obviously they are waiting for Rong Zhao here.
Rong Zhao was surprised: "Brother Guan Shan, Brother Changxing, you also retired early today?"
Pei Guanshan rolled his eyes: "Who is like you, dare to leave early? Today I rest. ”
Zhang Changxing added: "I ask for leave and wait for you."
Rong Zhao understood, nodded, and said with a smile while drinking tea: "Then what are you waiting for me to do?"
"Rong Shizi, tell me quickly, what does the emperor mean about the chief of the Chamber of Commerce?" Zhao Gongzi immediately asked, and he didn't sell Guanzi.
These sons of these families are old friends with Rong Zhao, or prefer to call her "Rong Shizi", which is inexplicably more cordial.
Rong Zhao glanced at him: "Do you have an idea?"
Zhao Gongzi was surprised: "Who doesn't want to be it? This position can obviously see the importance, in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, dispatching the world's merchants, a very high status!"
Rong Zhao grabbed the melon seeds that Zhang San had peeled. Zhang San pursed his lips, peeled the melon seeds again, and simply put them directly in the bowl in front of her.
She shook her head: "Zhao Gongzi can't do it, if this position is done well, the emperor will let him do it for a lifetime."
Zhao Gongzi was stunned, and then his face was entangled.
This position is important, but if you have been a five-grade official all your life and deal with businessmen, it is too unambitious....
If you don't do a good job, you can be transferred, but if you don't do a good job in this position, how can the emperor be serious after leaving? The future is basically ruined.
Pei Chengjue: "What else? What does the emperor mean?" Rong Zhao looked at him and was surprised: "You want to go?"
Pei Chengjue naturally shook his head and spread his hands calmly
: "It's the second prince who wants to sit in this position." He is the second prince's party, and now the princes want to seize this position, and there is nothing to hide.
However, Rong Zhao continued to shake his head: "No, the emperor should not be biased in this position, or in other words, the emperor wants someone to take into his hands."
Zhang Changxing excited: "Isn't that an opportunity for the neutrals?"
Rong Zhao smiled and added: "You also have to have vision and ability, not only to be able to supervise the merchants of the entire Dayan Dynasty, but also to have the ability to control them and manage money."
"How can such a person be willing to be a five-grade official for a lifetime?" yes, it's too hard to choose. "
"There is no suitable identity at all, the right identity, not necessarily the right ability, the right ability, then you will definitely not be willing to be a five-grade official for a lifetime.
"Is the emperor still undecided?"
Rong Zhao smiled and nodded: "Yes, the emperor hasn't decided yet." Everyone knows.
She glanced at everyone, meaningful: "I don't recommend you to fight for this position, not to mention that you will be trapped in the five-rank official position for the rest of your life, even if you really do it, the treasury is short of money, so you have to find a way for this position."
"The chief minister is in charge of the world's businessmen, and he can also control the world's businessmen, once the emperor is not satisfied with the secretary of the chamber of commerce, the only result is to kill it. The ten representatives under him are all people who can see the emperor, and at least five of the representatives must be from the family, and the chief of affairs must be able to deal with the family and the big businessmen. "
Ability, good background, good temper, loyalty to the emperor, ability to manage money, and ability to maneuver...... has to stay in the five-rank official position for the rest of his life, and there is a danger of death at any time.
It's hard to sit in this position.
The sons of the family immediately shook their heads-
"Forget it, let's figure out other positions." "It's a position that ordinary people can't do." "It's too important, it's too hard." "The princes will definitely not give up......"
Hearing this, Pei Chengjue shook his head: "Whether the prince gives up or not depends on the emperor's thoughts."
Pei Guanshan just came to join in the fun today, but he didn't care about this.
He looked at Rong Zhao and talked about something else: "How much tax does your chamber of commerce collect? I see that the officials of the household department have been going out recently, and our departments are asking for money, and Xu Shangshu is much more cheerful. "
Rong Zhao grinned: "A million taels are there."
Everyone gasped.
Guan Mengsheng muttered: "Good girl, you are really the God of Wealth......" Rong Zhao smiled
Silent.
>
These sons of the family looked at her, only to feel more and more awe.
Just when they hadn't entered the dynasty yet, or that they were only sixth-rank officials when they entered the dynasty, Rong Zhao had already relied on his strength to sit firmly in the third-grade household department.
Don't talk about Emperor Yongming, don't talk about the war year now, that is, the new emperor is on the throne, can he be willing to give up this golden doll?
Rong Zhao is nineteen years old, but he is actually only eighteen two months away. It's so far!
Pei Chengjue and Pei Guanshan glanced at each other, their eyes full of sighs.
Zhang Changyan's action of peeling melon seeds was paused, and his mouth was full of bitterness. Rong Zhao is so capable, and he is just a gentleman, and the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger....
At this time, Rong Zhao put his hand on his shoulder and knocked: Tell you something.
"What?" Zhang Changyan was stunned.
Rong Zhao: "I've been very busy lately, and there is another big event in the future, and I will be even busier. Uncle Xie can't manage the property under my name alone, how about you help me?
Zhang Changyan was stunned again, and after a while, he muttered: Let me take care of it? Does he have the ability?
Rong Zhao nodded, of course: You have the true inheritance of this world, you will definitely be optimistic about those industries, in fact, you don't need to do too many things, each industry has a person in charge, you can help solve the things they can't handle.
Asking Zhang Changyan to help is really not a whim. This guy is very smart, clever, and has been following her for a long time, and has a lot of her style.
Zhang San: Do you care about rice?
Rong Zhao called him out and scolded: "You are unproductive, since I hired you, of course, not only the food, but also the monthly salary." "That's fine." Zhang Changyan smiled and happily continued to peel melon seeds.
Night.
All the provinces are discussing the position of the chief of the chamber of commerce, and Rong Zhao's words represent the meaning of Emperor Yongming, which has spread. In fact, if there is no Rong Zhao, everyone can guess who this position wants.
Very chicken rib position. Those who have the ability don't want to eat, and those who don't have the ability can't eat.
The three princes all want it, but they can't find a particularly suitable person, so they may not be able to get this position. Although King An Pei Qin is not in the capital, the King of An Party is still there, and they are also working hard.
The Three Princes' Mansion.
As the only one of the three princes who has not been crowned king, the three princes are now in a very embarrassing position. Lord Liu, Liu Wanjun, and the staff of the three princes are all there.
Lord Liu said: "We are weak now, but we have the support of the family, Deer
No matter how much the king wants to defeat us, it will be difficult, but now the king of deer is very powerful. Your Highness, the family said that they would definitely strive for the position of the representative of the Chamber of Commerce, and it would be helpful for His Highness to envelop the Chamber of Commerce in the hands of the family.
Even if Pei Yu is weak now, there is still a family behind him. As long as the family supports him, he will not fall yet.
One of the staff members sneered: "Where is it all for His Highness, it is clearly for themselves, and besides, they still want His Highness to help them, right?"
Lord Liu smiled and nodded: "Yes, they hope that His Highness can take the position of Chief of Affairs." If the affairs are long-lasting, the family will be convinced and beneficial.
Pei Yu shook his head and sighed: "I also want to take it, but there is really no suitable candidate, even if we pick one or two, my father may not be willing."
He asked his staff, "What do you think?"
The staff immediately looked at each other, there was really no way.
They put forward some candidates, but they quickly rejected them. They thought of some solutions, but they were quick to deny them.
One of the staff said: "Even if this position can't fall into our hands, it definitely can't fall into the hands of King Deer and King An!" Originally, there were two kings, and if they had the authority of the Chamber of Commerce, it would be really difficult to deal with.
Pei Yu frowned and rubbed his temples. Could he not know? But knowing what's the use, how they grab this position is the key!
These people really can't give a good way! It didn't work to the extreme.
Pei Yu looked at Liu Wanjun: "What does Cousin Wanjun think?"
Liu Wanjun didn't speak tonight.
Liu Wanjun's treatment in the Three Princes' Mansion is completely different now, she has given ideas to the Three Princes many times before, all of them are very good ideas, and the Three Princes value her very much.
Of course, this also led to dissatisfaction among the staff.
When fighting with King Deer and King An about the assassination of King Jin before, Liu Wanjun saw that something was wrong early and asked them to change their strategy.
But at that time, the staff had long looked at Liu Wanjun unpleasantly, and they couldn't stand a woman plotting with them for national affairs, so even if they rejected it, they even ridiculed it fiercely.
Liu Wanjun sneered and said nothing.
Later, when the Assassins confessed to the Second Prince, and when they decided to kill the Assassins, Liu Wanjun bluntly said, "You will regret it."
The staff naturally didn't believe it, and the three princes were also eager for quick success. The second prince was carried back to the house, and they were about to beat the water dogs, Liu Wanjun watched coldly, and it was the same sentence: You will definitely regret it.
They weren't there at the time
Meaning, and then -
Regret dying!
Now, when the third prince asked Liu Wanjun, all the staff looked at it, and their attitude was far more respectful than in the past. Liu Wanjun is also ruthless.
They didn't listen to her at the time, and she wouldn't have tried to explain it. She watched the three princes step on the pit, watched the three princes lose power, and didn't stop them at all, just watched coldly.
At this time, seeing that everyone was looking at her, Liu Wanjun slowly raised her head and said softly-
The chief of the Chamber of Commerce, how about I do it?
All of a sudden, everyone's faces were stunned, and the room was full of shock.
On the second day, Liu Wanjun sent a letter to Rong Zhao, saying that she wanted to be the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and wrote many pages to explain the reason.
I thought Rong Zhao would be surprised. Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, a secret reply was sent, only one sentence-
Well, if you think about it, you will be the president of the chamber of commerce.
Liu Wanjun's eyes were red in an instant, she put this piece of paper in her heart, no one was crying, and at this time two teardrops rolled down.
After she proposed it last night, her cousin and staff all objected.
She spent a night convincing them, but to this day, they still half-believe it, feeling that the idea was unreliable, and the emperor and the Manchu civil and military would not agree.
But Rong Zhao didn't hesitate for a moment.
An hour was just enough for them to send a letter, which meant that when Rong Zhao finished reading it, he immediately replied to her without any hesitation.
- As long as she is sure, Rong Zhao will help her. In this world, there is no such confidant as Rong Zhao.
Liu Wanjun was already firm, but now she has the courage to move forward. And Anqing Palace.
Rong Zhao looked at the letter written by Liu Wanjun and smiled.
She is the one who has watched Liu Wanjun grow up, and naturally knows her ability. At the beginning of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, when the position of the chief of affairs was proposed, she prepared it for Liu Wanjun.
Those rules and regulations are the restrictions of the family, but they are the only light that women can glimpse in the dark night.
And the reason why she didn't tell Liu Wanjun was that she wasn't sure if Liu Wanjun had this ambition and determination.
That's not an easy place to sit.
But the road of female officials, the precedent for women, is already difficult to walk.
It's still the same sentence -
Someone has to do some things in this world.
