Zhu Yijun knew clearly what Wan Shihe was talking about. He was talking about the problems between the different parts of the basic officialdom system of the Ming Dynasty. This problem was the separation between the upper and lower levels.
Apportionment and table-making were inevitable phenomena in the Ming Dynasty's new fiscal and administrative policies. Wang Guoguang noticed this phenomenon, and Wan Shihe, the official minister, proposed an improvement method, which was to put accountability on the head of the person in charge.
It is worth noting that Wang Guoguang and Wan Shihe did not completely deny apportionment and table-making, and even affirmed the existence of some positive significance.
Because for the Ming Dynasty, the dilemma of apportionment and tabulation was caused by the reform, which itself was a bumpy road on the road to reform. Before this trend had completely spread and became a common practice, the court council of the Ming Dynasty noticed this bad behavior. culture and intend to find a solution.
For example, making tables. Six volumes and one account are the tables required by the court and are the core of finance and taxation. Without understanding these six volumes and one account, it would be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to complete the financial and taxation reform. The Ming Dynasty did not know how many acres of land and how many people it had. , even tax collection is not clear. Being able to do six books and one account well is the key to doing a good job in the confusing accounting of Ming Dynasty's finance and taxation.
Making tables is completely necessary and can even improve efficiency, but is it a requirement of the Ming Dynasty to turn six volumes and one account into dozens of tables? No, it's just a way for gentlemen at all levels to distribute responsibilities.
There are also certain benefits to apportionment. For example, there was a locust plague in Jiangxi this time, and the good old man Pan Jixun wanted to kill people. In order to raise food and grass, the court asked Huguang, Nanya, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong and Guangxi to support Jiangxi. This is also a This kind of apportionment has injected strong impetus into the disaster area.
But this apportionment only allocates responsibilities but not power. Isn’t this making things difficult for the people doing the work?
The imperial court asked Hou Yu Zhao to go to Zhangwu, Liaodong, to farm. Hou Yu Zhao did a good job, but the imperial court did not give Hou Yu Zhao Ding any power, so what the hell did Hou Yu Zhao do? Previously, Hou Yu Zhao went to camp and clear the fields. This time he went to fight with the army. Could it be that the imperial court gave Hou Yu Zhao the power to do so.
The imperial court asked Yin Zhengmao to pacify the Red Mao Fans in Luzon. At that time, the imperial court was very poor. Not to mention five-masted transoceanic ships, there were not even a few battleships with 400 materials. The imperial court could not provide material support, so it gave policy support. , gave Yin Zhengmao power, and Yin Zhengmao recruited Anlin Afeng, raided Miyan Port, and now he has become a master of the national surname.
When the imperial court asked Yin Zhengmao to go to Guangdong and Guangxi to be the governor of Guangdong and pacify the Japanese, he also gave him administrative powers. Zhang Juzheng talked about strengthening the army and also said that he would give military generals some administrative powers.
It is worth noting that even if they are given a little power, people like Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Li Chengliang, Liu Xian, Zhang Yuanxun and others are already grateful and do not ask for more. As long as they let the war be fought, it will be a good court...
Wan Shihe's method is to use his official hat and big head to force the gentlemen who spend time in brothels and gentle villages to delegate their power to those who do things.
Wan Shihe hesitated again and again, looked at His Majesty's young face, bowed his head again and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"In court discussions, it is natural to tell everything you know and to express everything." Zhu Yijun stretched out a hand and asked Wan Shihe and Wan Dazai to continue explaining his methods of governing officials and continue his performance.
Wan Shihe stretched out his hand to the official book screen and said very solemnly: "Your Majesty, those who stand up and talk about their hearts are never the ones who solve problems. Those who talk eloquently are often in the capital, not in the local area. To be more precise, , the hollow ones are the official officials of the imperial court, not the local officials, they are the most busy and the hardest working, and His Majesty cannot see them, and even this official book screen will not record them."
Zhu Yijun said sincerely: "So, since the first year of Wanli, sir, you have asked me to follow the example of my ancestors and meet foreign officials, county magistrates, elders, and common people?"
Wan Shihe bowed his head very respectfully and said, "Yes, this is the reason why I think Mr. Jiang Ling has never truly impressed the Lord."
Wan Shihe must use this incident to make a determination as to whether Zhang Juzheng has become a powerful emperor during the few years he has been in power. Otherwise, there will be some voices that hinder the revival of the Ming Dynasty, and these voices can easily confuse the audience. , the influence of various miscellaneous newspapers in the court, testing whether they can "set things right", Wan Shihe hoped to determine Zhang Juzheng's reputation through the problems and contradictions caused by the six volumes and one account and the examination method mentioned by Wang Guoguang .
"The Ming Dynasty is very lucky." Zhu Yijun said sincerely.
Yu Qian was beheaded in public, Zhang Juzheng almost had his coffin opened and his body whipped, and more than a dozen of his family members were forced to death. Wild dogs fought to drag and bite them. These two key men in the critical period of the Ming Dynasty ended up like this. Zhu Wan, Hu Zongxian, etc. Waiting for the end, it will be chilling to watch.
There is also Qi Jiguang. Qi Jiguang wandered around in his later years because he knew that he would be liquidated and was afraid that his wife's family would be implicated. In the end, he handed over all his family property to his wife and Li. This kind of pure warrior, under the guise of reporting to the emperor, went down to save Qian Shou and build the army. Qi Shuai all ended up like this.
It would be strange if the Ming Dynasty did not perish.
It is conceivable that the people who do things are so cold-blooded and unkind, seeking honor and humiliation, and losing their centripetal force.
The construction of legal system is actually the construction of centripetal force. The centripetal force in military, political, economic, cultural and other fields was lost. During the Wanli period, Emperor Wanli stood up and stepped on the accelerator into the fuel tank.
"Why has no one mentioned such a simple method before?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe and said with a smile.
Wan Shihe said very sincerely: "Mr. Zhang said that the time has not come yet, so there is no need to mention it. If the time comes, everyone will mention it."
Zhu Yijun said with great satisfaction: "That's right. The Ministry of Personnel will draft a charter for the accountability of official officials and submit it to the cabinet for reporting."
"I obey the decree."
On the first day Zhang Juzheng left the court, not only the courtiers missed him, but the emperor also missed him.
Zhang Juzheng's first step in governing officials was to break the appeasement. Promotions and promotions all depended on favors and sophistication. What was bad was the power of appointment and dismissal of personnel in the Ming Dynasty's official administration. Only by changing the criterion for promotion from favors to merit can we select enough talents to do the work. , Only by finding these people who are willing and able to do things can we further promote official governance. In order to break the appeasement, Zhang Juzheng, in addition to setting time limits, also made names on straw lists, filled in books, etc.
After the appeasement is broken, the rectification of officialdom can be further promoted.
This is the step-by-step process that Zhang Juzheng has always admired. It is not achieved overnight, using the power of the emperor to make nonsense, but to promote the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty step by step.
Lu Tiaoyang took out another memorial and said: "Shen Yingshi, the right servant of the Governor's Household Department in Cangchang, reported: The actual number of silver taels in the Taicang warehouse is more than 6,984,160 taels. It should have been five million. In addition, the government factory paid 620,000 taels in profits, and the tax office and market shipping department received more than 1 million taels, so the state was fully occupied."
Tan Lun said blankly: "There are still so many this year?"
Last year, it was because the tax collectors made more than one million taels of extra money by collecting arrears, and the state had a surplus of more than four million taels. This year, the bank deposits have reached nearly seven million taels.
"Da Sima, I'm telling you that the Ming Dynasty is rich now, and it's not nonsense." Wang Guoguang said with a smile: "This is still the most money spent this year, because it is necessary to make up for the debts of Jiubian. Ding built the palace, the pagoda, and the Gwuyuan. , Jiangwu School, this only has 6.98 million taels of silver."
"Talent?!" Tan Lun shook his head and exhaled, "I don't know who was so worried about the 110,000 taels of labor costs for the late Emperor's mausoleum in the first year of Wanli."
"At that time...sigh." Wang Guangguang hadn't finished his words, and no one said much. The state suffered a huge loss that year, and even the money owed to the late emperor's mausoleum was not paid until December of the first year of Wanli.
The great financial loss is a result and a concrete manifestation of the corruption of the Ming Dynasty.
Great financial losses often represent loopholes in military, political, economic, and cultural aspects, such as military defeat, rampant corruption in politics, uncontrolled growth in the economy, and luxury in culture. and competition for extravagance, and huge financial losses are just a manifestation of the country's decay.
Wang Chonggu said with emotion: "It seems that I still have to work harder. I only made a profit of more than 600,000 taels last year. I really do not deserve His Majesty's trust."
Most of the profits of the official wool factory were used for expansion, but even so, nearly 600,000 taels of profits were handed over to the state. As the pace of expansion slowed this year, the price of worsted wool soared, and profits There will be a larger growth.
"Mr. Wang Ge, I do not advocate profit-based pursuits." Zhu Yijun began to emphasize that the official factory is not an administrative unit that is only profit-oriented. What the official factory captures are the lifeblood of the people, such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. It is inevitable for the official factory to pursue profits, but the official factory If you are only interested in profit, then you don’t want this official factory.
During the Song Dynasty, salt, iron, coal, alum and wine were all exclusive products. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the price of a pound of coal was 200 yuan, which was a concrete manifestation of profit-seeking. In those big cities with millions of people, not a single blade of grass would grow around them. , it’s all firewood.
The finances of the two Song dynasties were relatively healthy until Jia Sidao came to power, even healthier than the finance and taxation of the Ming Dynasty. The annual coin of the two Song dynasties, starting from Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, was 300,000 taels of silver a year. After calculation, I kept adding more money. You must know that at that time, silver had not flowed into China in large quantities. China was poor in silver. At that time, the money lost in one year during the Song Dynasty was the tomb of Emperor Longqing.
The health of finance and taxation in the Song Dynasty was an extreme official monopoly, seeking huge profits, while the health of finance and taxation in the Ming Dynasty was decentralized to the hands of the Jin gentry. Now the court is gradually taking back this power, and the Jin gentry usually gives the people something to drink. The Qingzhang returned the land even though the imperial court would not go into a big fight.
Zhu Yijun reminded Wang Chonggu that his political vision for joining the cabinet was to create a new class of craftsmen, not to amass profits for the court.
"People are really greedy. Yesterday's worsted woolen revenue was seventeen taels and four cents a foot." Wang Chonggu certainly remembered the fundamental reason for his survival. He briefly explained the main growth points of profits.
Zhu Yijun and Wang Chonggu looked at each other, and both showed understanding smiles. Zhu Yijun said as if he suddenly realized, "That's it, then it's okay."
Worsted wool is a huge scam. It is a huge gamble between Wang Chonggu and Shi Yaohaoyou. Shi Yaohaoyou is desperately raising the price of worsted wool. The price of worsted wool has already reached a use value. To the point of being completely ignored, Wang Chonggu is working overtime to expand production.
The critical time point is when the mythical story of a powerful man who wants to make a fortune is clamoring to the people, and the day when a piece of cloth is turned into dozens of tickets and sold to the people, that is when Wang Chonggu breaks the market.
Wang Chonggu has accumulated a large amount of worsted wool and is harvesting silver in an orderly manner. This is an economic war that will last at least three years.
The court discussion continued. Ling Yun, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, reported the progress and further actions of Luopangshan's counter-insurgency and aftermath. The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Household Affairs all reviewed it. The Ministry of Household Affairs, in particular, decided to spend 370,000 silver. Provide Ling Yunyi with expenses for the local aftermath.
Ling Yunyi was accused every day. He was planning to kill people recently. The purpose was to relocate people to Luopang Mountain and dilute the number of Yao people for long-term peace and stability. However, the Han people who relocated did not just fall from the sky. Ling Yunyi took aim. The collective of tenants.
But the tenants are all in the hands of the local gentry and powerful people. Ling Yunyi wants to relocate the people, right? Following the basic logic of asking whoever has it, Ling Yunyi showed the knife.
To give or not to give, this is not a question. The powerful people of Guangdong and Guangxi who have been repeatedly domesticated by Yin Zhengmao and Ling Yunyi are really afraid of this guy. They send people to the capital all day long to find someone to take care of Ling Yunyi.
Now the powerful people in Guangdong and Guangdong have no other purpose than to let the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi know that the powerful people have surrendered, and the decree is the decree. The powerful people will actively cooperate without fighting or killing. It is really degrading and polite!
Not as good as Yin Zhengmao!
Yin Butang is in Guangdong and Guangxi, so it only needs to tear down a door and move a bed. Governor Ling is really too murderous.
Zhao Tijing, the prefect of Fengyang, was promoted to the right political councilor of Sichuan. He did very well in Qingzhang's farming and other matters, and went to Sichuan to become a high official. Yuan Hongde, the chief minister of Guanglu Temple, became the right councilor of Shaanxi. This was a demotion and sent to Beijing, and he was admitted to the law. of victims.
Later, the court meeting agreed that the period for selecting shujishi for the pavilion would be fifteen days, and the list of shujishi for the pavilion was determined, including Shen Zifan, Gu Shaofang, Yang Qiyuan, Ao Wenzhen, Yao Yuexiang, Feng Mengzhen and more than ten people, plus Yijia Jinshi Shen Maoxue and others were sent to the Hanlin Academy to study.
Yuanfu Lu Tiaoyang specifically asked Jiao Hong and Zhang Siwen, the number one scholar, if they wanted to participate in this election. Zhu Yijun really wanted them to go, but it was really good that both of them submitted to the imperial palace, so the emperor didn't need to ask anymore.
Since he entered the Gewuyuan directly after the palace examination, he has already made his choice and has no regrets.
"Censor Wang Qian is at the top, why is he not on the list of concubine candidates?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and asked slightly confused.
The only son of Wang Chonggu, the old man of Xinge in the Ming Dynasty, got to the top of the exams, but there was no place for Wang Qian to be a concubine. How did this happen?
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Quanzi has been appointed to the Imperial Court to supervise the Censor, so he can no longer study in the Hanlin Academy." Wang Chonggu said very solemnly.
Zhu Yijun suddenly realized that he was waiting for him here!
It turns out that Wang Chonggu’s purpose in applying for an official position for his son and appointing Sun Jigao was to protect himself!
With such a strong desire to survive, Wang Chonggu had already used Dodge before the emperor could kill!
The Ministry of Rites decided that on May 13th, the emperor would go outside the Meridian Gate and recite the sound of Luo Pang Jie. This ceremony would take a whole morning and was very lengthy. However, Zhu Yijun readily agreed. The etiquette for such a thing as a successful announcement is cumbersome. Some of them are more complicated. After all, we need to declare a decree to reward meritorious soldiers.
Ling Yunyi was promoted to the right capital censor and concurrently served as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Yin Yizi, Jin Yiwei, was deputy to Qianhu, and was rewarded with silver and flying fish uniforms.
Ying Yangbo and Zhang Yuanxun, the commander-in-chief of the Luzon Army, gave him a world certificate, and a son named Enyin was hereditary for thousands of Jinyiwei families.
Li Xishi, the commander-in-chief of Guangxi, was granted the title of Commander-in-Chief, and Yin's son was hereditary to hundreds of families in the guard station. Every soldier who participated in the war was rewarded with civil and military rewards.
It is worth noting that the surname of the governor of Lian Luzon and the uncle of Sishui was Zhengmao. In return for borrowing troops, Zhang Yuanxun was lent to Ling Yunyi by Yin Zhengmao. This is the credit for borrowing troops, and for meritorious service. Yin Zhengmao has the credit for laying the foundation, and the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi has improved, and Yin Zhengmao has the credit.
Tan Lun, the minister of the Ministry of War, was promoted to the first level of salary, while the ministers Liang Menglong, Zeng Shengwu and the lieutenant of the department had different promotions and rewards.
"This is comprehensive, everyone has a reward, but why are there no rewards for the cabinet ministers? Isn't the prime minister important? They should be rewarded." Zhu Yijun was a little dissatisfied with this list. Every time he was rewarded for military merit, he did not care about the cabinet elders. Meritorious service.
It's been a long time, and the elders can't bear to feel resentful. As the decision-makers of the empire, the elders are dissatisfied, and the army over there will be in bad luck.
Everyone has it, but Mr. Ge doesn’t. If Mr. Ge doesn’t get rewards, how can others get rewards?
Wang Chonggu replied very confidently: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiangling, in the spring of the third year of Wanli, discussed Ning Yuanbo and Li Chengliang's side merits. Sir, I have been ordered that from now on, the merits of the side are not allowed to be mentioned to the ministers. How can I dare to offend him personally? Please stop and sleep. , to make a difference."
If Zhang Juzheng doesn't take it, Lu Tiaoyang and Wang Chonggu can't take it either. Yang Tinghe returns to his hometown and Ding You, and Zhang Juzheng doesn't return to his hometown and Ding You becomes a beast.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng has to get it.
"Was it already a routine at that time?" Zhu Yijun felt that this was wrong. He thought about it and looked at Wan Shihe.
Wan Shihe received the signal and wanted to give feedback. He thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the side merits are not allowed to be mentioned to the ministers, because Fubi is the Minister of Vitality and is involved in national policy decisions. He is suspected of shaking the Lord. If If I have military success again, there may be rumors, which will be detrimental to Mr. Ge's reputation."
"It is natural that there will be discussion about becoming an official or leaving a name in history."
"Oh, that's it." In order to guide Wan Shihe to make this conclusion, Zhu Yijun gave Zhang Juzheng the title of Prince of Yicheng. The courtiers were restricted by the emperor's prohibition and did not dare to talk more, but it did not mean that they were in their hearts. No doubt, why?
That's why Wan Shihe said.
Bian Gong does not mention the auxiliary ministers in order to prevent things from overstepping the authority of the Lord. This is a compromise forced by reality, but it does not mean that Bian Gong does not have the merits of auxiliary ministers. As Qi Jiguang said, without Zhang Juzheng, He, Qi Jiguang, was afraid that he would be a fourth-grade military attache in the Dengzhou Guard, just like Xin Qiji, and his military talents would not be able to be used.
When an assistant minister leaves office, he should make a list and describe his merits. The court should not be so stingy and just lose the title.
Not talking about merit for now is a compromise, but talking about merit together in the future is a reward.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe and became more and more satisfied. Wan Shihe also looked at His Majesty and became more and more satisfied. Zhang Juzheng's departure from the court was also a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Juzheng was too invincible. He moved forward without thinking about the future. For example, here, where merits are mentioned, the assistant ministers, as the top decision-makers, could not get a sip of soup. Zhang Juzheng could say that he didn't care at the time, but in the future, the assistant officials Can I not care?
This court is just a place where spoils are divided. There is no role for Ming Gong to express his merits. Which Ming Gong can fully support Zhenwu?
When Zhang Juzheng was in power, no one dared to take this issue, but after he left the court, we could discuss some changes. This would lead to uneven distribution of spoils and unclear rewards and punishments.
This is not Wan Shihe wiping his butt, this is the completion of Zhang Juzheng’s New Deal, and these twenty-seven months of completion were fought for by Zhang Juzheng.
The law of development of things is always spiraling forward, with ups and downs.
"Your Majesty, please leave." After the court discussion, the ministers bowed respectfully and planned to leave.
Zhu Yijun was still waiting on the platform as usual. He opened a lot of memorials on the table and said very naturally: "Sir..."
This is a habit. Every time Zhang Juzheng will use the name of giving a feast to explain the background of each decree, why he made such a decision, what are the benefits and hidden worries of such a choice, The impact of such a decision and how to correct and complete it in the future are clearly explained based on Zhang Juzheng's knowledge and experience.
Zhu Yijun was also used to having food put into his mouth. Suddenly, Zhang Juzheng slipped away, and Zhu Yijun was really not used to it.
"Sir, you went to Xishan to take some time off, right! I still refused to let you go. I sent every volume compiled by the Ming Dynasty to the Yicheng residence in Xishan for you to correct. Do you want to be lazy? This is not government affairs. He can't even think about it. Get away." Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes and found a job for Zhang Juzheng to correct the Ming Dynasty ceremony.
It was Zhang Juzheng who requested the compilation of the Great Ming Dynasty. He gave up his choice, and the president became Shen Shixing. Shen Shixing was still a little unsure about the characterization of several historical issues since Xiaozong, and Zhang Juzheng had to take a look at some of them.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Hong suppressed a smile and bowed his head.
In fact, Lu Tiaoyang, Wang Chonggu, and even Wan Shihe can do this. Your Majesty just can't stand Zhang Juzheng hiding in Xishan, so he deliberately looks for trouble. He is probably a little angry that the emperor, a close disciple, can't pay homage to him. , what kind of behavior is this?
Zhu Yijun began to deal with the daily memorials, and all the memorials that were brought to the court were major matters. The memorials that were submitted to the imperial court every day still had to be approved by Emperor Zhu.
These matters are not worthy of being decided by the court or the court. For example, King Su wanted to build a bookstore and requested funds, such as the death of Lin Yuntong, the former Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of Nanjing, and the mourning case in Yixian County, Shandong, etc., etc., all of which did not require court consultation. But the emperor had to make a written reply.
After Zhu Yijun finished dealing with it, he went to have a meal. After the meal, he originally planned to go directly to the capital camp, but he was called by Queen Mother Li and Queen Mother Chen.
Also summoned was Wang Yaozhuo, who was waiting in front of Zhu Yijun.
"It has been three or four years since the girl entered the palace. In front of His Majesty, it is nothing unclear. Today, the emperor and the girl are called here to confirm their status. Emperor, for the wedding, the first wife Second Concubine, do you have any other ideas?" Queen Mother Li asked.
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said, "Don't be extravagant and wasteful."
Queen Mother Li took a sip of water without choking. Queen Mother Chen looked at the emperor with a complex expression. The emperor's wedding was not even the prince's wedding. For such a top-notch event, the emperor rarely put forward his own ideas. His only idea was not to be extravagant and wasteful.
The wedding etiquette involves the majesty of the emperor, so it must be carried out in a big way. Zhu Yijun asked that not to spend too much money.
"If we keep it simple, the outer court will have to live in peace. Just follow the old system." Empress Dowager Chen chose to deny the emperor's intention. It was not up to the emperor to decide whether it was extravagant or not. It was not that the country had suffered a huge loss and could not afford it.
Zhang Juzheng, the annoying man who advocated frugality all day long, has also left the government. It is better to manage things well.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said that he didn't care. He asked himself what he was doing. His parents' orders and the matchmaker's words really didn't control the marriage.
"Girl, there are a lot of rules in the palace. The girl's parents left early, so we can't let the girl be bullied. These three matchmakers and six betrothals are naturally indispensable. I gave the gift to the girl today. Come on." Queen Mother Li took a photo. Clap your hands.
This Wang Yaozhuo has entered the palace a long time ago, and his parents are gone. If the people are chewing their tongues, it will be really unpleasant to chew. She, Queen Mother Li, and Queen Mother Chen are not that kind of evil mother-in-law, so the gift this time is also particularly generous. .
"I don't read much and I am a layman. This is 80,000 taels of silver and 3,000 taels of gold. I don't count other jewelry and jade. People can't say that I am an evil mother-in-law." Empress Dowager Li waited until everyone carried the gifts. He came in and spoke directly.
Eighty thousand taels of silver is five thousand catties, three thousand taels of gold is one hundred and eighty-seven catties, one catty of Ming Dynasty is 596 grams, silver is silver coins, gold is gold bars, one tael per piece, more than 3,000 pieces are arranged neatly .
Among the gold and silver jewelry, the most dazzling one is the red coral tree, which is more than a foot tall and has a large piece of ambergris. This is a valuable overseas treasure sent by Yin Zhengmao to the capital as a gift to congratulate His Majesty on his wedding.
Zhu Yijun was blinded by the gold and silver. The two queen mothers were really powerful!
He looked at the gold and silver and suddenly thought for a moment and said, "This is the gold and silver that the Ministry of Finance sent to the palace in mid-April, when Mr. Hu was still in court."
"Yes, this is the gift to the queen." Queen Mother Li said with a smile: "The king is selfless. Your Majesty's marriage is also a state matter. Naturally, the money must be paid with national funds. This is also a rule. Mr. Zhang cannot stop it even if he wants to."
"But let's agree first, this is private money for the girl. The emperor cannot use it to do things." Queen Mother Li looked at the emperor's eyes and turned into gold and silver. Then thinking of the emperor's stingy temper, she immediately reminded .
"What else do we need from him? What can we do with this little money to do things for the country?" Zhu Yijun shook his head and said.
Gold and silver are just numbers in the ledger, but in front of them, the neat 80,000 silver coins and 3,000 gold bars are still very impactful.
"Isn't this too much...I, I, I..." Wang Yaozhuo had never seen so much gold and silver in her life, and she was completely confused. She stuttered slightly.
Every time she went to do the accounting, the money she made under her hands was like mountains of gold and silver, but those were just numbers, and it was a bit scary to see them suddenly in front of her eyes.
She originally thought that being able to avenge her parents was a blessing she had cultivated in her eight lifetimes. Your Majesty is handsome, and her martial arts training brought you a heroic spirit. She could serve your Majesty for the rest of her life. That was because she wanted to repay His Majesty's kindness. Suddenly, the Queen Mother gave her a gift. Having bought so much gold and silver, Wang Yaozhuo was a little at a loss.
Empress Dowager Li said very solemnly: "The emperor wants to implement your husband's new policy. This is a state matter. Even the mother can't control it. It can't be controlled. But the people around the emperor can't get confused because of these stupid things. That's why." It’s my mother’s fault.”
Why does Empress Dowager Li like Wang Yaozhuo?
Because Wang Yaozhuo is clean enough and has a pure life experience.
Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
