The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 324 The Family in the Palace ([-])

The people in Kyoto, who had been looking forward to long necks, finally got what they wanted.And those who received the reward were even more ecstatic.

Cao’s, the largest rice shop in Kyoto, got the word “Yi” written by the emperor himself because he donated [-] dans of rice. , changed to "Yizihao".

The rest of the family were beating their chests with regret. If they were rewarded with more money, wouldn't they be able to overwhelm the Cao family and become the number one rice shop in Kyoto.It's a pity that the chess missed a move, and now the Cao family has completely secured the number one position.

Most of the common people are ignorant and blind, and Cao's business was not much better than theirs before.But in the past few days, almost everyone who carried the rice bag ran to Cao's house.Because Cao's family was righteous and donated money to buy winter clothes for the disaster victims in the south. Even the emperor had heard of the name of righteousness. How could the common people distrust and support such a good business?
The rest of the families received rewards, including a family of scholars and meritorious deeds, and even a family of squires a hundred miles away from Kyoto, who came to donate almost half of their wealth. The reason is very simple. There is only a 20-year-old stupid Son, when he was a child, he fell off a tree and hurt his brain, which is only equivalent to the IQ of a seven-year-old child.

This squire didn't ask for anything else, he just wanted some rewards, so that when he passed away, his son would be able to rely on him, so he wouldn't have to be bullied or robbed of his family's wealth.

Xiaomi really took a lot of thought to get someone to send the reward.A bright yellow waistcoat, plus a big living person.

Needless to say, the bright yellow waistcoat is obviously for the squire's stupid son to protect himself. This color represents the royal family. As long as he wears it, no one will dare to bully him in the slightest.

And the big living person is an old supervisor of the Neizao Supervisor and his young disciple. The old supervisor is over fifty years old, and the young disciple is only 17 years old.Previously, when the supervisor of internal construction brought jewelry over, the chief manager knelt down and begged to leave the palace. He had been in the palace for many years, and felt that time was running out, so he wanted to leave the palace and wait for his life to end.

Most of the palace servants that Xiaomi released from the palace were those with bad deeds or old age. The boss was not on the list, but now he asked to go. She asked why and planned to arrange a good place for him. After all, he will spend his whole life in the palace. Seeking peace and growing old is nothing out of the ordinary.

It happened that the squire had a fatherly heart, so she sent the old manager there, and even asked the old manager to take away a young disciple to take care of him.

The squire received the reward, almost wept bitterly with joy, and immediately ordered firecrackers to be set off, and a three-day feast was held.

Poor parents all over the world, his stupid son has always been his heart disease, now that he has a yellow jacket to protect him, and there are more bosses from the palace to guide his grandparents to accompany his son, he really has nothing to worry about anymore.

Not to mention how noisy it is outside, but to say that Xiaomi has been busy for a few days and waited to sort out the list and account books. After summarizing, he was very proud.

This deal was really a bargain. Three sets of red gold jewellery, five sets of calligraphy and paintings, plus a yellow jacket, and two sets of four treasures of the study were exchanged for 18 taels of silver, plus [-] tans of rice and a warehouse of cotton cloth.

She couldn't help smiling brightly, and waved her big hand, "Let the cook prepare the ingredients, and I will cook the banquet tonight."

Linglong and the others all responded with a smile, and Xiaomi waited and waited until Feng Ze came back, so he asked someone to send the account book and name list to the Yangxing Pavilion.

In the Yangxing Pavilion, Feng Ze was discussing matters with several old and important ministers of the pavilion.Although most of the food shortage problem has been solved by using work as relief, there are still many trivial matters in post-disaster reconstruction, river embankment construction, and the resumption of farming in the spring of next year.

Feng Ze put down the memorials sent by the southern states, rubbed his brows, and said in a low voice, "Half of Yushitai's manpower will be dispatched to the southern states. Anyone who dares to use disaster relief food will be killed without mercy! How dare you take the opportunity to annex the people?" Whoever dares to steal the land and force the people to rebel will be killed without mercy!"

Three kills in a row, showing the emperor's fierceness and determination to the fullest, everyone quickly got up and fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will do their best."

"Get up, these days, you have worked hard. Go back early today, and continue to discuss after the Great Court Meeting tomorrow."

Although Emperor Hongde was more aggressive than Emperor Chengde, his sympathy for his courtiers was generally the same.Not to mention rewards in daily life, as long as they can take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, they have never been treated badly.This made the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty very grateful. After all, begging for food under the eyes of the emperor, the emperor is ruthless, and if a tyrannical one is put on the table, maybe a wrong word will bring the whole family to see the king of Hades.

Everyone wanted to leave when they got up, but the Minister of the Household Department was very reluctant. Feng Ze guessed why he was like this, so he laughed, "Master Liu, don't worry about it, the queen will not embezzle donations."

Liu Shangshu blushed when he heard it, and quickly bent down to explain, "I'm not afraid...I'm just..."

"You're not afraid that the queen will embezzle the money, you just want to keep the money in your pocket as soon as possible. People in the capital say you are a box for collecting money. This reputation is really good."

It was rare for Feng Ze to say a few jokes, which made everyone laugh.

Mr. Liu was quite straightforward, "The minister is in charge of the household department and deals with money. Besides, if the minister does not tighten the box a little, I am afraid that everyone will want to withhold more money from the minister."

His look of being stingy and reasonable made everyone laugh even harder.

At this time, Fengxiang Palace sent the account book and name list, Feng Ze gave it to Liu Shangshu after only one glance.

Liu Shangshu was so happy that he wanted to jump three feet high, "Great, great, the money is enough for the victims to survive the winter. The empress is holy, the empress is holy!"

When the rest of the people saw this, they also came forward to have a look, and in the end they couldn't help but praise it non-stop.

"Empress Shengming, this is really urgent."

"Yes, the main reason is that this has set a precedent. In the future, whenever the Great Yuan is in trouble, the rich help the poor, and loyalty prevails. The whole Great Yuan is twisted into one rope. Why not prosper?"

Li Lin's beard almost turned up when he smiled, and the pride on his face could not be concealed.

When the rest of the people saw it, they were all jealous.Why was this guy with sharp eyes back then, who saw the signs of the Lu family's soaring sky, and formed a good relationship when the Lu family was still in trouble.Now, not only do they have the kindness of mentor and apprentice with Lu Qian, but they are also regarded as close friends by the Duke of the country, and they get together to play chess every now and then.The empress in the palace summoned the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law every month, and the rewards were endless, which can be described as extremely favored.

Of course, envy is envy. They don't have this luck, and they can't force it even if they force it.

After joking around like this, no one dared to let go of the monarchs and ministers after all, so Feng Ze waved his hands and went back to Fengxiang Palace.

The weather has gotten hotter these days, and the cicadas on the trees are screaming loudly.

Afraid of disturbing the little masters to sleep, Han Momo called the little eunuch to take a long bamboo pole to stick the cicadas.

Xiaomi sat in front of the window, looking through the roster in the internal treasury, thinking about choosing some light and thin materials, as well as jewelry, to reward several elders and important ministers.

Although it is their duty to seek their own government in their position, it is their duty to be busy these days, but as the emperor's virtuous helper, it is also their duty to help him win the loyalty of his subjects.

Occasionally looking up, I saw Cheng Sheng and the others also ran out of the house, surrounding the busy little eunuch, perhaps intending to help, but the little eunuch was afraid that the long pole would hit the little master, so he avoided it carefully, knowing that he didn't get rid of one of them. , On the contrary, it made me sweat all over.

Xiaomi was funny, seeing that it was getting late, she changed into a half-worn dress and went to the kitchen.

Frying, frying, and frying are very busy, which also attracts "everybody" to secretly swallow their saliva.

Xuanwu and Xuanliu are on duty today, both of them are old people who lived with their master in Laoxiongling, and now they are out of missions in Xuanming, most of them are guarding the palace, in case the master has an order.

Xuanliu tried his best to lift his chin, sniffed the aroma in the air, and muttered in a low voice, "Spicy shrimp, braised pork, dry fried tenderloin...hey, and sweet and sour fish!"

Xuan Wuyi slapped him on the back of the head and cursed, "You bastard, your mouth is already drooling like a river, yet you're still talking about it endlessly."

Xuan Liu scratched the back of his head, and when he was about to speak, he heard Xiaomi in the kitchen shout, "Who is on duty today? Xuan Liu?"

Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu were pleasantly surprised when they heard that, they immediately jumped off the roof, and knelt down at the door, "Return to the master, it's your subordinate."

Xiaomi tore off his handkerchief and wiped off his sweat, and when he saw that he was an old acquaintance, he smiled and said, "There is a happy event today, so I specially cooked some more meals. Your share is in a small pot, remember to pad your stomach later. "

"Ah," Xuan Wuxuan and Liu blushed a little, wanting to refuse but reluctant, which made Xiaomi laugh, "Not only you have a share, Xuan Ming has worked hard. There is a pot of braised pork that is served alone, remember to take it Go back and distribute it to Xuan Yi Xuan Er and the others, it is my thank you gift."

"Thank... thank you, master."

Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu hurriedly kowtowed, unable to tell if they were extremely warm or dizzy with gratitude.

In Laoxiongling before, it was not that they had never tasted the food made by millet, but at that time, Xiaomi was still a peasant girl, and now she is the empress, the mother of a country, and she still made soup by herself to reward them for their hard work. No one believed it.

But they just got this blessing, they are really extremely honored...

Soon, the dinner table was set, and the four children were hungry from playing, so they washed their hands, put on their rice pockets, and waited eagerly for their father to come back to serve dinner.

Feng Ze rushed over, seeing four pairs of "resentful" eyes greeted him, he smiled and said, "If you are hungry, eat first, you don't have to wait for me."

"How can it be done?" Xiaomi rolled up his sleeves for him, and said with a smile, "You are the head of the family, and the rules you should have cannot be broken."

Feng Ze stopped arguing, washed his hands quickly, and then sat down with the children in his arms. Gao Rentian has a dog's nose, and he was clamoring to go to the city to play, but he rushed back now.

A family of young and old masters and servants made up seven people, and the dining table was full.

At this time, no one is the emperor or queen, prince or daughter, master or servant, they are all family members.Just like ordinary people's homes, talking, laughing, eating and drinking.

Feng Ze didn't say thank you, and Xiaomi didn't take credit either.Husband and wife are connected and support each other.If you say thank you, wouldn't it be a surprise.
