Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 859

Fan Buzheng also followed, furtively.

Jia Liu, who was sulking, couldn't help giving him a blank look: "Are you having an affair with Yongxie? They are all from your own family. If you really want to do this, I will say hello to Director Ding later, and I will charge you a hundred and 80 taels. Write another 500-word letter of guarantee, and forget about it.”

The prime minister can punt a boat in his belly, and the emperor lives forever.

"Your Majesty is judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain,"

Fan Buzheng was full of anger, "Besides, since I started working, the whole family has not been worth 80 taels!"

"No, you have been working in Zhili for more than half a year, what about your salary?"

Fan Wei was exceptionally promoted from the prefect of Baoding to the governor of Zhili. The annual statutory salary was 155 taels, and the Yanglian silver was at least 8000 taels according to the court regulations.

That is to say, Fan Wei's annual legal income is at least more than 100 million after he has been in charge for more than half a year.

So, how can there be no money.

"Did Your Majesty forget that the salary of officials above the second rank is paid by the Ministry of Households?"

Fan Wei looked aggrieved, the Lord Guijia and the court did not deal with it, so since he became the chief envoy, the Ministry of Households has not paid him a dime salary.

It's better to be the magistrate of Baoding and be able to receive wages from the treasury.

Moreover, after he served as the magistrate of Baoding, he had to send his salary to Linqing every month to support the orphans of the Changsheng Army who died against the Qing Dynasty, and also to give some subsidies to the poor relatives in his hometown.

Since becoming an official, he has not been corrupt. In this way, the salary is not enough. He is really poor.

In the position of Zhili chief executive, he was as stingy as the Jiangxi governor Hao Shuo, so that the superior Zhili governor Yang Jingsu couldn't bear it, and personally sponsored him 1000 taels.

As a result, after the 1000 taels arrived in the account, Fan Wei directly printed a remittance slip and sent it to Shandong to help the villagers.

It's really a breeze in both sleeves.

Yang Jingsu said with emotion to the left and right: "I don't want to have an upright official in the meeting."

If it hadn't been for the fact that the prince had single-handedly promoted Fan Buzheng, Lao Yang would have thought of a way to bring him down long ago.

"So you have been working in vain for half a year? It's my fault."

Jia Liu was a little embarrassed, and said that when he returned to Xiangyang, he would be rewarded for his merits, and he would squeeze out a hundred and eighty taels from the finances for Fan Wei to spend first.

Anyway, he is also the chief executive of the largest province in the Qing Dynasty, and his salary must be paid normally.

Instead, he asked Fan Wei what he wanted to say when he came over.

Fan Wei straightened his face and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the year name, I think the Meiji era name proposed by Director Ji just now is very good."

"Huh? Where is it?"

Jia Liu asked Fan Buzheng to talk about it in detail.

Vatican made two points of benefits.

First, Meiji is the meaning of the Ming emperor governing the world. Combining the governance of the Lord Guijia in various places, it is to develop industry, revitalize the local economy, and reduce taxes and exempt taxes. It is a benevolent government that benefits the people and the common people. Mingjun this fact.

The second and most important point is that the year name "Meiji" coincides with the meaning of the Qing Dynasty inheriting the Ming system and governing towards the Ming Dynasty, and it also implicitly implies that the master of the ghost family is actually after Zhu Ming.

In this way, the title of "Meiji" can effectively win over the divided Xinghan army who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and laid a good foundation for the two sides to negotiate and resolve differences.

"This year name does have many advantages, but due to force majeure and personal emotional reasons, I'd better propose another year name,"

Jia Liu looked at Fan Wei, who obviously had something to say, "Don't go around with me, what exactly do you want to tell me? Say it boldly, and I won't take you to death if you say something wrong. Really, when, In your eyes, I have become an existence that dare not speak face to face?"

"Your Majesty alone is enough to be called a Mingjun!"

Fan Wei took a deep breath, and then asked the most concerned thing in his heart, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, who do you want to be the empress!"

"After standing?"

Jia Liuyi couldn't answer this question from the dog-headed military division for a while, because he really didn't think about it.

Not negligence, but genuine forgetting.

Where there is yin, there is yang, where there is male, there is female, and where there is emperor, there is offspring.

He has proclaimed himself emperor, and the world is about to enter a new era of great rule, so the subjects must be most concerned about the choice of queen.

Since ancient times, the selection of queens has not been a matter of the emperor's family, but a public matter of the world.

Now Jia Liu has five women.

The first one is Ruxiu, who gave birth to her eldest daughter Wenjing;

The second is Yuanyuan who gave birth to her eldest son Keqing;

The third is Chunhua, the daughter of Bo Qing'e;
The fourth one is Wu Qinglian, who was given to him by former Gansu chief envoy Wang Quanwang;
The fifth one is Yuying, a Shun nobleman that Lao Fu got him from the palace.

Each of the five women has a background.

In terms of origin, Ruxiu, Chunhua, and Yuying were all from Manchuria.

In terms of nobility, Ruxiu is the king of Xinwang Mansion, and must be the most expensive.

Chunhua's father, Bo Qing, is not only the governor of Huguang, but also the vice president of the Gongjin Association. Although he is an illegitimate daughter, she is also relatively expensive.

Yuying was a noble person in Qianlong, and according to etiquette, she was even more noble than Xiu.

Yuanyuan and Wu Qinglian are both Han women. Yuanyuan's father is a "rebel", and Wu Qinglian is a poor woman who was sold by her parents since she was a child.

Therefore, in theory, Jia Liu must set Ruxiu who is from Gege as his queen.

However, this is not in the political interest.

Because, Jia Liu's basic game is the Han Army and the Green Camp, not the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia.

With the development of the situation, the Xinjun Palace behind Ruxiu has obviously become less important, even the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia including Aixinjueluo are not important, but the governor of Huguang behind Chunhua is very important.

Because Bo Qing'e, the old man, is a veteran of the Gongjin Association. He not only developed a large number of members of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, but also had a great influence on the army. Many Gongjin members were transferred to the army by himself. It can be said that the old disciples are all over the army.

Especially now that Bo Qing'e is one of the two governor-generals who are more powerful than his son-in-law and proclaims himself emperor, and he is also the first prime minister of the new government appointed by Jia Liu, so his status can be said to be very important.

Shun nobleman Yuying's family background is also very prominent, and has a great influence in the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia. His eldest brother Fuqing is now sitting in Nanjing for Jia Liu, a new brother-in-law, and is a reliable military leader in the Liangjiang area.

Of course, it is definitely impossible for Chunhua and Yuying to become queens, because both of them are "second marriages".

Jia Liu, as the founder of the new Qing Dynasty, could not have a second-married daughter as the queen, at most, the second daughter would be treated as a noble concubine.

Wu Qinglian's background was even more humble, and she was directly excluded from the list of candidates for empress. She couldn't even be a concubine, only a concubine.

As a result, Ruxiu and Yuanyuan are left to compete on paper.

One side is Manchu orthodox, and the other is Han orthodox.

Jia Liu couldn't make up his mind who to stand for.

Because the two girls have their own advantages and disadvantages, that is to say, they have similar advantages and disadvantages.

After establishing Ruxiu as the empress, with the development of the civilianization of the Eight Banners, a Manchurian queen will definitely not be accepted by the people of the world.

Li Yuanyuan is the most sensible choice in the long run, but it is not the best candidate now.

After all, Jia Liu's surname is now Aixinjueluo, how can he directly appoint the daughter of a "rebel" leader as his queen.

Pretty tricky.

Since Fan Wei raised this question, of course Jia Liu wanted to ask his opinion.

"Your Majesty is now the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It is reasonable to regard Lixin as the queen. However, if the minister's opinion is for the long-term consideration of the country, he should make the daughter of the Gu family the queen."

Fan Wei expressed his attitude without hesitation.

Because this attitude is not held by him alone, but is recognized by the vast majority of civil servants and generals around His Majesty.

"Your Majesty often said that His Majesty's Qing Dynasty was different from Qianlong's old Qing Dynasty. He also said that Banner Han was a family, regardless of each other. He even made the soldiers and civilians voluntarily go to braids, and even had the intention of abolishing the whole city. This has never happened since the founding of the country. A major revolution”

Fan Wei pointed out that innovation is actually the source of productivity for the ghost family to make a fortune. In the past, Manchurian emperors always appointed Mongol and Manchu women as queens. This old system must be abandoned, and the Han people’s daughters must be changed to be in line with the major policy of innovation. .

And this can also show that Daqing is the real Qihan family, not the one that was talked about before.

Jia Liu was noncommittal about this, and still couldn't make up his mind. He planned to consult Bo Qing'e and Li Shijie for their opinions.

Both of them are highly respected people in the meeting, and their opinions combined are the opinions of the meeting.

As the honorary chairman, Jia Liu still has to listen to the opinions of the meeting on the matter of becoming a queen.

That is, whoever everyone says to establish, he will establish.

Fan Wei also knew that this matter was of great importance, and it was normal for the Master Gui Family to be undecided for a while, but he went on to say: "Your Majesty has a son now, and he is the eldest son. Since ancient times, the eldest son has been the crown prince, so I think that your majesty's eldest son should be the crown prince." , if the mother of the crown prince is not the queen, there may be chaos in the palace in the future."

After a short pause, he spoke earnestly, "In this way, His Majesty's most troublesome matter will be easily solved."
