Ji Jin didn't take it seriously, "Do you really think Her Majesty the Empress doesn't know what Master is doing?"
"The Empress knows?" Minghua asked in surprise.
"Of course." Ji Jin shook his head and chuckled, looking at the slim junior sister in front of him, sighing that time passed so quickly; the little one back then has become the beautiful and moving girl she is today, "We cannot presume to speculate on His Majesty's holy will, but I I can tell you quietly; my second junior brother and I have analyzed that Her Majesty the Empress has been dissatisfied with those chatty ministers who only know how to talk, so Master’s intervention is just in line with Her Majesty’s wishes.”
Who as a boss likes a person who can only talk and do nothing?
This is especially true for emperors. As long as they are wise emperors, they all hope that their ministers will be able to do real things, rather than scum who talk a lot and actually do nothing.
Minghua understood now, it was not because of anything else, but because Her Majesty the Empress's tolerance for them has reached the limit; so, never challenge anyone's tolerance limit, it is something you cannot afford.
"Master, if you do this, I'm afraid it will make Her Majesty the Empress unhappy."
Ji Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master has reached the age where he should serve as an official. Master has told me and his second junior brother before that if he works for another two years, he will go home to retire and continue to contribute to the court. We It can never grow up."
Not only because he is the pillar of the court, making the disciples dependent; but also because a superior person will not let people of the same lineage achieve too much. If there is Xu Shoufu, there will be no one with a higher status than Xu Shoufu. This is a trade-off.
It is also a method commonly used by those in power.
"There is no need to become an official. If we have not grown up, His Majesty will not be jealous of us. However, the master's ability is too strong and his connections are so wide that His Majesty may have become jealous." A truly good boss who treats his subordinates will not let him. Subordinates do great things.
And what the master did was exactly what the superiors thought was wrong.
"Master knows in his heart that there is a tacit understanding between him and His Majesty. As long as this tacit understanding is not broken, Your Majesty will not touch Master." Ji Jin said confidently, "When you return to Shuzhou, I will not see you off; It looks good in Shuzhou. Your status is not low now. The gap between a first-grade princess and a royal princess is not far away. Master may have seen this, so he wants you to grow up quickly; and ours In the pulse, you are the only one who grows the fastest."
The burden naturally fell on her.
"I understand, senior brother; you and second senior brother should also work hard. We senior brothers and sisters will support each other, and the road ahead will not be difficult."
After the brother and sister separated, the eunuch came to announce the decree, and Minghua was promoted to the princess of Zhaoyang, and she was a princess with a fiefdom.
In the Jokhang clan, the princesses and county lords who have fiefdoms are all members of the royal family, and not everyone can have them. However, Minghua, who was born as a commoner, canonized princesses based on his political achievements and merits, and compared his entire position to that of the king. The prince's fiefdom was given to her.
For a time, countless people in Beijing turned their attention to the Xiao family, and even Xiao Minghua.
Minghua ignored the opinions of outsiders and didn't care about their opinions. After stopping her family from holding a banquet, she packed up her things at home and said goodbye to her family. Within five days, she took her men to Shuzhou and the capital. Home became her place to stay.
This time, when she left, Xu Chieffu gave her two more staff members; this time, she did not arrange official positions for them, but often took them with her when doing things, so that they could learn how to be an official. How to fight for everything that belongs to them is what they need to do.
Unconsciously, three years passed by like a white horse.
Shuzhou suddenly became the most prosperous state capital of the Jozhao Dynasty, ranking first in economy, trade, taxation, etc.; the annual tax amount accounted for half of the entire national treasury, which made Her Majesty the Empress happy to praise her repeatedly.
When Ming Hua returned, the civil and military officials of the court looked at the girl who was dressed in a prefecture official uniform and had a tall and erect figure. At only sixteen years old, the civil and military officials of the court were already stepping under their feet. No one could account for most of the tax revenue of a state. Treasury tax money.
"Xiao Minghua, the governor of Shuzhou, a humble minister, pays homage to your majesty. Long live your majesty."
Never knelt down,
Just long body and bow.
Her Majesty the Empress laughed and said, "It can be said that I have hoped to have you back. In the three years in Shuzhou, you have become more and more experienced. The taxation and economic prosperity of Shuzhou were created by you. I am very pleased that I gave Shuzhou to you." The fiefdom is right."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"You are still a child after all." Her Majesty the Empress shook her head and chuckled, stood up and walked down, "I have already thought about your reward. It just so happens that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry becomes an official, so you will take over the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. You are good at governance, and the Ministry of Industry will allow you to do a good job. develop."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best." The Ministry of Industry is equivalent to the construction department, and the empress really made the best use of her.
The imperial edict was issued that day, and the lord of Zhaoyang County, who was only sixteen years old, and the prefect of Shuzhou, was promoted to the post of minister of the Ministry of Industry in the middle of Beijing. He went to court the next day, and stood among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Minghua felt the influence of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Different ideas.
There is goodwill, malice, neutrality, and even disdain, disdain and contempt.
Regarding these, Minghua's strength slapped them in the face; under Minghua's governance, the economic conditions of Dazhao have doubled in five years, and it is known as the Dazhao Economic Great Trend Era.
Many new ideas, new thinking, new businesses and new species appear in the eyes of the people.
In the sixth year, Xu Chief Assistant came to the throne, and the empress successfully promoted her to the position of Chief Assistant; Minghua, who was only 22 years old, stood at the pinnacle of power.
With Xu Shoufu here, the Xu family has never fallen into decline; but it has never regained its glory. Fortunately, with a few disciples riding around, the Xu family is still shining.
Ji Jin entered the official position through the imperial examination eight years ago and is now also the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He is also the young master of the Ji family and has a bright future. He responded to the request of the government early and married the daughter of an upright official and minister. They have a son and a daughter, but they have not married him for many years. Concubine, the family is harmonious and happy, which makes his father-in-law and mother-in-law very satisfied with him, and they take care of him many times in the court.
Let’s talk about Cui Changhe. He entered the imperial examination six years ago and offered sweet potatoes as a gift. This allowed the people to have surplus food and avoid starving to death during the famine years. With this achievement, he was appointed as the fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. .
That year, Xu Shoufu's lineage was extremely prosperous.
Cui Changhe has not been married for many years and has been waiting for Minghua. However, Minghua seems to have never understood. No matter how he hints, it is useless. He is afraid of being rejected by her, and he has been delaying it until now. The Cui family was so dissatisfied with this that Cui Changhe had to use thunderous means to unseat the Cui family head and take the position of the head of the family himself. Chinese website
He waited for another seven years. Dazhao's development was getting better and better, but Cui Changhe was not married and had no heirs. There were many gossips among the Cui family. Finally, Cui Changhe had no choice but to imitate his senior brother Ji. Jin married the daughter of an upright official in the capital and became the clan's wife.
Minghua remained unmarried throughout her life and devoted her youth and time to the country. After thirty years in the imperial court, Dazhao had become an existence unsurpassed by other countries. When she passed away, Her Majesty the Empress personally issued a promotion and named her the Princess of the Zhenguo.
Her death made Xu Shoufu, Wei Yuangong and others extremely sad; the white-haired person sent the black-haired person to her, but no one thought that she would leave before them all.
Minghua no longer has any worries in this world, she has done everything she needs to do; her faith value has also been gained, her luck has increased dramatically, and her merits are immeasurable.
When her body reached the void, she looked back at that world; she found that although her grandpa and grandma were confused, they were still alive; the second brother of the Xiao family lived a normal life, and because the eldest brother was there, their life was pretty good, except for Xiao Erya. After getting married, the misery of the previous life continued.
But this time, it was not the other members of the Xiao family who sold her, but Wang Xiao who bought her.
Xiao Hongkang and Xiao Hongping entered the court, got married and had children, happily.
