Empress work daily

Chapter 124
Ji Qiang simply used two pieces of pastry, drank a cup of water, and a cup of Phoenix Dancong tea, and began to deal with political affairs.

Lu Yi felt distressed and advised her to eat more, but Ji Qiang shook his head helplessly, "I didn't get up until the sun was up, and the old man outside the hall didn't know how to arrange me. If there is any delay, someone might break into the hall."

Ling Lu quietly looked out the window, and saw that the dense crowd was no longer quiet, three or five of them huddled together and whispered, and those who were far away from the main hall had already started talking loudly.

After receiving Ji Qiang's order, Shang Liujia hurried out of the hall to invite someone.Ji Qiang did not specify who to invite first, so Shang Liujia had to invite people in the order of first come, first served. In his memory, Liang Yanqing, Minister of Rites, and Mencius Jin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, came at the same time, so Shang Liujia invited them both to meet at the same time. .

Outside the Hall of Yangyuan, just as Shang Liujia's figure appeared, the officials who were arguing a lot immediately stopped talking, and the obedient ones couldn't be more obedient.

Liang Yanqing's question is a cliché, but it can be summed up in three parts: the roof of the Qin Tianjian, the walls of the Wanbang Pavilion, and the musical instruments of the Sili Supervisor.

Ji Qiang only gave him a sum of money, just enough to repair the roof.

At that moment, Liang Yanqing was already indignant.In the past, I was poor and had no money, but now I have so much money, repair cracked walls, and buy a few musical instruments?
The iron rooster pushed back in every possible way, but he did not expect His Majesty to do the same...

"Does Qing like spinach?"

Ji Qiang automatically ignored Liang Yanqing's extremely indignant but restrained expression, and asked suddenly.

Liang Yanqing: "..."

What the hell is spinach?

He's talking about cracked walls and mutilated instruments!
Ji Qiang stared at him blankly, not allowing him to evade.

Liang Yanqing paused, then thought about it seriously, and replied: "I like to eat spinach."

Ji Qiang immediately called Linglu, "Lead Shangshu Liang to dig a basket of spinach in the Royal Vegetable Garden."

Liang Yanqing: "..."

Royal Vegetable Garden, what kind of garden?

……

When Liang Yanqing saw that the imperial garden, which used to be full of blooming flowers and brilliant purples and reds, was full of greenery everywhere, and after careful identification, there were more than a dozen kinds of vegetables and fruit seedlings, the fog in her heart cleared, and she was stunned.

Ling Lu had been prepared for his reaction, patiently waited for the other party to come back to his senses, then led Liang Yanqing into the vegetable garden with a smile, pointed to the vegetable bed and told him which one had just been planted, which one was already edible, and how His Majesty planted it , how to take care of it at ordinary times, and so on.

The two came to the spinach field unknowingly, Linglu skillfully picked up the shovel on the ground, quickly dug up a bamboo basket full of spinach, and handed it to Liang Yanqing, "Master Liang, come back after eating, the spinach is so delicious quick."

Liang Yanqing: "..."

In Yangyuan Hall, after Liang Yanqing left, Mencius told the difficulties of the Hanlin Academy in a daze. It was nothing more than repairing the courtyard walls and adding some tables, chairs and benches.However, Mencius Jin deserved to be the leader of the number one scholar back then. After some remarks, it was very miserable. Anyone who listened to it would think that those old Hanlin who were dying stood up every day to compile books and study knowledge. After all, according to Mencius Jin, Hanlin The legs of the tables, chairs, and benches in the courtyard are all aging, and they will break with a little force.

Ji Qiang couldn't help but sympathize, how are the waists and legs of those elders?After all, I fell again and again... No wonder, every morning, those old Hanlin walked tremblingly, bumping every step, and it turned out that they fell like this.

Ji Qiang agreed to add a batch of new tables, chairs and benches to the Hanlin Academy, but the matter of repairing the courtyard walls was rejected.

"The holy ancestor said that a person who is a scholar should pay attention to the matter of learning. I don't know what Mengqing thinks?"

Mencius Jin repeatedly said yes, His Majesty even moved out the Holy Ancestor, how dare he disagree?
Seeing now, he finally saw one or two clues. His Majesty would definitely agree to the things they mentioned, but he would not agree to all of them.

It was just like this to Liang Yanqing, and it was the same to him... Mencius frowned when he mentioned Liang Yanqing, and he didn't know where he went to dig spinach. It seemed to be some kind of imperial vegetable garden. He had only heard of imperial garden, imperial vegetable garden, what kind of garden was it? ?

Ji Qiang quickly gave him a chance to see.

"I don't know about Meng Qing, but I like to eat spinach."

"Return to Your Majesty, I like it."

Mencius returned without hesitation, but Ji Qiang was taken aback.

So, Ji Qiang immediately ordered someone to take Mencius Jin to the imperial vegetable garden.

Next is Jingzhao Yin Qichang, the famous "Lang Chen" before entering the palace with Shang Liujia, inexplicably rushed to the back of the team and made a strange gesture, about three hairs stuck in a circle, Shang Liujia Jia secretly gestured twice, but she didn't see why.

Qi Chang entered the hall with a smile, and when he greeted Ji Qiang, he was a little more free and unrestrained than others. Ji Qiang looked at him with joy in his heart. There are more than 30 people, and he always thinks that he is a suave young man.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to raise a little bit of firewood and silver for the police officers in Gyeonggi. Since the first emperor's dynasty, there has been no salary increase for more than [-] years. To put it bluntly, if it is not homeless, no People are willing to be fast."

"I heard what you mean, the arresters are not only short of firewood, salary and silver, but also wives?"

Unlike Confucian scholars like Liang Yanqing and Mencius Jin, Ji Qiang always put on a dignified appearance. At this moment, she relaxed all over and leaned against the back of the chair.

"It's a little difficult for me, sir."

Qi Chang: "..."

In just a moment, Qi Chang immediately returned to his respectful attitude, begging again and again.

"I've been thinking about this matter for a long time, and I've figured out one or two rules. You will bring my proposal to the Ministry of Officials, and Jiang Yousi will give you a satisfactory answer."

After receiving the proposal, Qi Chang couldn't wait to read it through, and found that the scope of salary increase was only below the ninth rank.

Just say that it is better to raise the salary of those who have no quality.

"Qing also said that these people do the most work and receive the least firewood, which is very unfair."

Qi Chang: "..."

If it wasn't in front of His Majesty, he would have dared to slap himself twice, would he still talk too much in the future?

"Your Majesty is holy! Long live, long live, long live, my emperor!" His voice was so loud that the people standing outside the hall could hear it clearly.

"Does Qi Qing like spinach?"

"Your Majesty... Back to Your Majesty, I like to eat loofah vegetables."

"It just so happens that my loofah is also edible. Come and bring Qi Zhaoyin to pick a basket of loofah vegetables."

Qi Chang: "..."

He didn't seem to understand a word.

Outside the hall, discussions arose again, Qi Chang shouted "Long live, long live", and the matter mentioned was settled, but everyone watched Qi Chang walk out of the hall, and did not walk towards the crowd, but was led by an internal servant. and headed north.

"Master Qi, where are you going?"

"How would I know!"

"Hey, I don't know if you have noticed, but after the three adults who entered the hall came out, they were all led by an inner eunuch and headed north."

Someone suddenly reminded me like this, and everyone came back to their senses, yes, what are you doing?

"Ahem!" Shang Liujia walked out of the hall, coughed twice, and continued to invite people.

The officials became quiet again, before Shang Liujia could speak, Qin Shima jumped in front of him with an arrow, and said with a smile, "It's my turn, Manager Shang."

Shang Liujia immediately greeted him with a smile.

When someone got closer, he realized that there seemed to be an iron box under Qin Shima's armpit.

Yo!As expected of Qin Shaoqing!

Everyone else begged His Majesty for things empty-handed, but Qin Shaoqing, who did not forget "reciprocity", brought something to His Majesty.
