Chapter 1118: Some Involuntary Decisions
Suddenly got the news to reopen the bank.
Bai Song can go with the flow, but things have to be figured out, whose idea it was.
On the way home, Xiaocui scratched Bai Song all the way.
Back at home, Bai Song found Qing'er for the first time.
Qing'er invited a new chef today, and according to the medicinal diet formula given by Bai Song, the diet of the entire palace must be adjusted.
Bai Song interrupted Qing'er's busyness and said, "I heard that the money bank is going to be reopened, why haven't I heard about it?" ”
"Money?" Qing'er was confused.
It seems that Qing'er doesn't know either.
Bai Song frowned: "Why don't you know?" ”
"Xianggong, what are you talking about?"
"When I went to Dongshi today, I met Luzhu, and she said that the palace spread the news that it was going to jointly open a money bank with Chen's Books."
"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”
"Who the hell sent the news?" Bai Song was a little angry.
Qing'er thought for a while and said, "Could it be the county lord's sister?" Didn't you leave all the foreign affairs to her before? ”
Bai Song thought for a while: "Then I'll ask." ”
The county lord's injuries are not yet healed, and he is still resting in the room.
In the room, there were several pregnant ladies who were resting and chatting together.
Don't look at the family is full of women, but they have little leisure time, and now that they are pregnant, they have to stop and live at home, and they are rare to relax, and they seem to have endless words to talk to each other.
The room was very lively, and Bai Song was surrounded when he came back.
After a few simple words, Bai Song went to the county lord's bedside.
When the lord of Mingzhu County saw Bai Song, he struggled to sit up, but was stopped by Bai Song.
"Have a good rest, don't move around these two days."
"Husband, are you in trouble?"
Bai Song nodded: "I have something to confirm, did you say that you want to reopen the bank?" ”
The county lord nodded: "It's the concubine who makes the decision, and the husband won't blame it, right?" ”
"It's okay, just make sure."
Bai Song suddenly became gentle, originally wanting to ask why he had such a plan, but seeing the county lord's sick appearance, all questions were swallowed in his stomach.
But how could the county lord's intelligence not know what Bai Song thought, so he took the initiative to say: "Husband, the money village really shouldn't be handed over to the imperial court, if the money village is here, we will have enough funds to deal with all kinds of emergencies." And with the wisdom of the husband, with money, it will be easier to make more money. What's more, with Qianzhuang, the rise and fall of our family is connected with thousands of people, if there is something in the palace, tens of millions of people will also be implicated, if we can achieve the same big as Mobai Qianzhuang, even if we make a mistake, the court will try its best to help us cover it up, and will not punish us in any way. ”
The county lord said very vaguely, but what she meant was that as long as she had a money bank, she would have a bargaining chip to negotiate with the imperial court, and even the emperor would not dare to do anything to the palace easily.
Bai Song frowned and comforted in a low voice: "This is not something you should worry about, you should rest now." ”
"Husband, after yesterday's events, can our family really be so lucky forever?"
"Don't worry, our family will be fine. Everything will be fine. Bai Song comforted and gently shook the county lord's little hand.
The county lord smiled and closed his eyes steadily.
Bai Song knew that something similar to yesterday would happen in the future, he was not unprepared, but he didn't want to admit it in person, he didn't want to put pressure on his family, there were some things he just had to do silently, and it was Bai Song himself who should be worried, not his wife.
The rest of the women have lived with Bai Song for a long time, have a tacit understanding with each other, and are very clear about their respective roles in the family.
And although this county lord is affectionate, he doesn't have that tacit understanding, but he is too smart.
Smart people have a lot to worry about, so they decide to rebuild the money bank without authorization.
Bai Song was thinking at this moment, I don't know if it's right to hand over the right to foreign affairs to her?
……
Spring is coming, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law came to the palace to confirm the exam.
Regarding Lin Xun's matter, Zhang Liang had already arranged it.
But Father Lin and Mother Lin were not at ease after all, and they left with peace of mind after repeated confirmation.
Coincidentally, Zhang Liang also brought several candidates to the door that day.
It's just that this meeting is much more secretive, Zhang Liang is wearing a civilian clothes and enters through the back door of the palace, and several candidates are also cowering and waiting in a room in the backyard.
Zhang Liang's move is to let the young candidates come to recognize the Lord first, before the exam, they must know who can support them to ascend, and who they should listen to after the ascendancy, these must be made clear first.
This matter was a bit sudden, and Bai Song was not prepared at all.
When I heard the news, I only felt very ironic, because I was bent on promoting the improvement of the imperial examination system and advocating the fairness and justice of the imperial examination system. In the end, he used the imperial examination to prop up his own power.
At another time, Bai Song would never agree with such an approach.
But today, many things are beyond Bai Song's control, and life has become a little involuntary.
Especially after listening to the words of the county lord, Bai Song couldn't be left alone.
In the evening, Bai Song went to the backyard room.
The five young people in the room, who were about the same age as Bai Song, all stood tremblingly, bowing their heads, not daring to say anything.
Zhang Liang stood up and arched his hand and made a gesture of please.
Bai Song was silent, and walked to the main seat with a calm face and sat down.
After seeing Bai Song sit down, the five candidates knelt and kowtowed at different levels, shouting: "The grass people have seen the prince." ”
This time, Bai Song did not refuse, a little uncomfortable, but he also acquiesced to the kneeling of these people, and also claimed the title of "prince".
"Get up."
A few people got up and introduced themselves.
As for their names and origins, none of Bai Song cared about, and these white bodies could be replaced by anyone before they had any official positions.
Now, what Bai Song wants to see is their attitude, no matter whether they are loyal or treacherous, good or evil, as long as they can be absolutely obedient in the future, it is the only criterion.
After all, there is only one Bai Song in the world, and even though these young literati have great arrogance, they are as frightened as rabbits when they stand in front of the most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty today, and they don't even have the courage to look up at Bai Song.
After a simple self-introduction, it was a discussion of kneeling, and then all kinds of expressions of loyalty, what nonsense such as going up and down the knife mountain and going down to the oil pot and smearing the liver and brain.
Bai Song cooperated with the performance and finished a round, and each person was rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, saying that it was to improve their learning environment.
moved several people to kneel and kowtow again.
Later, several people were sent away, and Zhang Liangcai stepped forward and said to Bai Song seriously: "Virtuous son-in-law, these people are good seedlings screened from more than 600 candidates, they are all talented and capable people, and they are not pedantic, and they are all born in poor families, which is easy to control. ”
Bai Song nodded: "Everything is up to the adults, I'm relieved." Since you're already here, why don't you go and see Yuhan? ”
