Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 341 The money can make a ghost run the mill

As soon as the two children were picked up into the shop that day, the dark guards began to investigate that night.The two children have been wandering in the capital for more than half a month. It is said that they were transported from other places by kidnappers, and they wanted to be trained and sent to a rich family to be servants.

But because of the imperial decree that the kidnapper was sentenced to death suddenly by the court, the kidnapper was afraid for a moment, so he dropped the children and fled for their lives, leaving these two children and a dozen other children to beg for food in the street to survive.

The two children are both handsome and cute. They can't tell where they live. They have been working diligently in the shop for the past few days. They are as careful as little beasts for fear of being kicked out. Everyone can't bear to see it. It just so happens that Mrs. Sun has no children. Since she was born and didn't intend to remarry, she thought about adopting her, and then she came to report to her master.

That day they finally got their new coats and were snatched away, the two probably sniffed the scent of dim sum in the shop and hid behind the shop, hoping to have something to eat in the evening.But the weather was too cold, and I was frozen unconscious before I knew it.

Ding Wei didn't have any opinion after hearing it. Many women's soldiers are old, have lost family members, or have been heartbroken by men, and many of them don't want to start a family again.After all, with a shop as their retreat, it is easy to earn some pension money, and to adopt a few more children, life is much more satisfying than remarrying.This was what she had always hoped for, so she nodded.

"Since there is fate, it is a good thing that Mrs. Sun wants to adopt these two children. Remember to take two bolts of good silk and send them to make clothes for the two children. It is my congratulatory gift."

"Yes, master." Yun Ying went down after getting the letter, leaving behind Gong Zhiming to ask with a smile, "Don't you still want to find some poor children to read with Brother Ang, but did you find someone you like?"

Ding Wei shook her head, a little discouraged, "Maybe the conditions I put forward are a bit harsh, and Lin Liu hasn't found any suitable ones yet. However, I still have to look for them. Yesterday my son asked me why those children in the farm don't eat pancakes and snacks." It won’t work if it goes on like this. It’s better for him to experience it personally. Find more children from poor families by his side. Hearing and seeing, he can always know a little bit of the suffering in the world.”

Gong Zhiming also made some sense in what he heard. Although he did not have a companion from a poor background, he was thrown to live in a farmhouse by Prime Minister Fang when he was a child with Fang Xin, and the impression was really deep.Even now, I often think of the black and air-tight walls of that farmhouse, the thick pancakes served on the table, and the porridge that clearly illuminates people.Therefore, he always has a little more pity for the people.

"Okay, you decide. It's no harm for boys to suffer more!"

With a few words from the couple, the son's "difficult" growth path was determined, but the fat boy didn't know anything about it, so he happily ate chicken legs.

Soon, the family of three had dinner, Yunying and the others were busy clearing the table, but suddenly Lianqiao came running in to report, "Your majesty, master, Mr. Fang is begging to see you. Maybe there is a good thing, and this servant can't help but smile when he sees his brows." It's flying."

Ding Wei heard it funny, but counting the days, Chu Qixi shouldn't have given birth, so she wondered, "What good thing happened?"

Gong Zhiming also shook his head, unable to guess.Fortunately, Fang Xin was also impatient, so he hurried in from outside the hospital without allowing the two of them to waste any more brain cells.

"I found it, the fleet found the silver mine!"

Hearing this, Gong Zhiming suddenly stood up.

Xihao had already been spoiled badly by the Sima family's wine bags and food bags before, and the treasury was so empty that even mice would not patronize it.Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been frugal and broadened his financial resources again and again. In addition to last year's bumper harvest, he barely managed to save a little foundation, but this year he is about to encounter severe drought and pests, and even use troops against Tie Le, all of which are burning money. event.

Ben was worrying these days, but he didn't expect to find a silver mine when he was drowsy, so how could he not be happy?

"Did you really find it? How many reserves are there? Are they really on those islands that Weier mentioned?"

Fang Xin ran in a hurry, picked up the teapot on the table and drank it up, and then said happily, "It's really like what the girl said, there is an island group in the east, and there are some natives living there. It was fierce, and some people were lost at the beginning. Later, the youngest Chu got angry and threw a few big "firecrackers" into the yard of the native leader, and the natives immediately surrendered.

Not to mention that silver is everywhere on the island, it is not much different. Even the urinals of the native leaders are made of silver.But the natives probably have limited manpower, and only a small part of the silver mine has been opened. According to the old Kuang Gong who accompanied the ship, the silver mine reserves are enough to be mined for decades, and hundreds of millions of taels of silver can be refined! "

Hearing the words, let alone Ding Wei, a money fanatic, even Gong Zhiming, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help panting a lot.

"Let's do the math, one achievement of a few hundred million taels of silver is tens of millions of taels?" Ding Wei clapped her hands happily, "Doesn't that mean that I can eat a bowl of vegetables in the future, and I can wear clothes and throw them away?" , is simply too extravagant!"

How could Gong Zhiming and Fang Xin not know that she was joking, they both laughed and said, "It's okay now, no one can lose you."

The three chatted and laughed, and Fang Xin went home to invite the prime minister's father into the palace. Although half of the silver mine belonged to the royal family and the imperial court, the Fang family also accounted for [-]% of it, which was several thousand taels. How could it be possible? Don't let Prime Minister Fang know.What's more, to distribute the profit to those aristocratic families who supported Gong Zhiming's army at the beginning, there must be some discussion first.

Gong Zhiming also took a pen and paper and began to plan and plan. Silver is used as the circulation currency of the entire Donghao. If it is increased in large quantities, the corresponding prices of all livelihood materials will be changed accordingly.

Ding Wei relied on the little knowledge she had heard and seen in her previous life, and it was okay to give a simple guide, but when it came to things like social economy, she didn't understand at all, so she made a pot of tea for her husband with her own hands I took my son to play in the backyard.

The charm of money is great no matter when and where.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were worried about the drought and no rain, and they were afraid that the pests would come, so they would not be able to eat and sleep well. Even some people who pretended to be worried but didn't care about it in reality didn't dare to suffer from singing, dancing, drinking and feasting at this time.

But this morning, the emperor suddenly heard the announcement that the two fleets of Ding and Fang had discovered silver mines overseas and offered them to the court voluntarily. The entire court was in an uproar.

That is a silver mine, as long as a small one is found, it will be enough for a whole family to live and live for several generations.The Ding Fang family gave it to the imperial court so easily, whether it is loyalty or some conspiracy.

But no one asked this question. Ding Wei needless to say that she is a queen. Although the conferring ceremony has not yet been held, the treasure book and phoenix seal are in her hands, and her son has also conferred the crown prince. Even if she does not donate silver mines, she She is also Donghao's noblest woman.

Prime Minister Fang is the head of civil servants, half the emperor's teacher, and now he bears the title of Taifu, and he will teach the prince in the future.This is a power minister who is firmly established, and he has no power to plot any more.

In this way, is it really selfless and loyal?
But no matter how you think about it, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all happy and uproarious.When Donghao was in such a difficult time, this good news was like a mouthful of oxygen in a depressed moment, which was very exciting.

Therefore, when the emperor announced that he would send elite soldiers to garrison the silver mine, the imperial court would take [-]%, the royal family [-]%, and the remaining [-]% would be arranged by the Ding and Fang families, no one said much.

Since Ding and Chu's family can give the big head to the court and the royal family, they will definitely not forget everyone who is an official in the same palace.

Sure enough, the Fang family held a banquet that night, and all civil and military officials of the second rank and above, as well as elders and heads of various families, were the guests.In the end, everyone ate and drank enough, and finally went home with a face full of joy.

On the second day, Gong Zhiming saw a two-foot-high memorial on the table, and it was very funny.There is a saying that having money can make ghosts turn the millstone, and having money can also make courtiers work hard.It was said earlier that there was nothing to do about the drought, but today everyone seemed to be enlightened in an instant and came up with ideas.

Although most of them are useless, in the end we still picked out two good ones, building water storage cellars and digging deep wells.Even expand the embankment at the intersection of the canal and the Jinhe River to increase the amount of water.

After seeing the last two memorials, Gong Zhiming almost laughed out loud.He looked up and saw that the sun in the sky was in the middle, he signaled Feng Jiu to pack up the memorials, and finally took the last two memorials to Yongfu Palace.

Today is the day when the "Royal Kindergarten" resumes classes. Ding Wei has been the king of the children for a whole morning. She is very tired and is resting on the soft couch, holding an account book in her hand to pass the time.

Seeing Gong Zhiming walking in with a smile on his face, she joked, "Where did the emperor get rich again, smiling like picking up silver?"

Gong Zhiming stepped forward to embrace her, and said with a smile, "If you want to pick it up, you're picking up silver mines. How can a small piece of silver be worth my bending over?"

Ding Wei couldn't help laughing, grabbed his shirt and wiped his eyes, then changed the topic, "Are you done with your political affairs? Dinner will be ready soon."

Gong Zhiming nodded, took out two memorials and showed them to Ding Wei, "These were sent by the courtiers this morning."

Ding Wei listened curiously. Although Gong Zhiming didn't dislike her participation in government affairs, she herself was very measured. She said a few words about small things within her power, and didn't even ask about the rest.But it was rare for Gong Zhiming to take the initiative to show her the notebook today. What happened?
"Hey, please be named queen?" Ding Wei threw away the booklet, curled her lips and said, "These people are really 'repaying the favor', as soon as they shared some of the silver mines, they immediately reciprocated. Why, I don't divide the silver mines, They objected to making me queen? Is this silver mine a bribe?"

Gong Zhiming naturally didn't care about the opinions of the courtiers, no matter who objected, he would let his beloved woman sit beside him to share the glory and wealth.But the courtiers supported him, and he was happy to see such a good thing as icing on the cake.

"If you are angry, then just throw away the notebook. Pretend I didn't bring it. After I calm down Tiele, I will hold a ceremony for you."

Ding Wei frowned, and after thinking about it, she said, "Forget it, let's borrow the donkey to get down the slope. The post-sealing ceremony will be held, and if you personally conquest yourself, I will be more confident staying at home."

Borrow a donkey downhill?This analogy is really interesting. Gong Zhiming smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, then I will let the Ministry of Rites prepare it, and the grand ceremony will be held on the date set by the Qintian Supervisor. I can't wait to tell the world that I will marry you." .”
