Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 65 Fertilizer water does not flow outsiders field

In fact, according to Zhao Dezhao's original intention, he wanted to call it "Song State Administration of Taxation", imitating the full name of the country and the full name of the department in later generations, similar to "Ministry of Finance of the Republic of XX", so that it can appear particularly majestic and formal.

But Ma Shangshu strongly disagreed, saying that it was inappropriate. There has never been such a name in the last 500 years and the next 500 years. According to him, the plaque can be directly used as "State Administration of Taxation". The plaque of the Ministry of Finance is simple. The single word "Household Department" is not majestic or formal?
In the end, we could only make a compromise and change "Great Song" to "Emperor Song". Zhao Dezhao felt that this was a disguised emphasis on the royal color of "imperial grain and national tax" and enhanced the authority of the royal family, which was not bad.

After the signboard was nailed up, Zhao Dezhao stood on the street in front of the gate with his hands behind his back, looking up at the shining golden plaque, feeling very satisfied.

He turned to a thin young man standing beside him, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xing, what do you think of the inscription on this plaque?"

"It's not that bad. These words are a little bit more beautiful, but dunfang is not enough. Fortunately, they are very strong, and they are barely enough to make a plaque and signboard."

"Haha, this is your sister's handwriting. If she knows how you comment on her handwriting, she will be so angry.",
"Oh."

After a simple "oh", there is no more text. Obviously, this young man is not willing to change his praise, even though he knows that the person who wrote the inscription is his biological sister and also the wife of the county king.

This young man is exactly Zhao Dezhao's uncle, Wang Zixing, the son of a concubine with the most humble status and the least attention in the royal family.

Zhao Dezhao's original plan was to have at least three uncles. This is because three of his father-in-law's eight sons have not yet obtained official status. This is also a good intention to give them a hand.

The results of it?Only a concubine son, Wang Zixing, came, which made people not very satisfied.

As a person with the soul of the 21st century, what Zhao Dezhao cares about is of course not the nonsense of being a concubine or not being a concubine, whether a prince or a general should be kind, and a girl born to a maid may not necessarily be worse than a concubine.

What really dissatisfied Zhao Dezhao was the attitude problem reflected by his father-in-law's move.

For this reason, Zhao Dezhao tested this uncle with a word, and immediately found that this uncle was an honest person that he had rarely seen in his two lifetimes.

Wang Zixing didn't intend to cover up for his family at all. He told the whole story about what happened in the family and the attitude of his father and brothers, which was more detailed than what Zhao Dezhao asked.

Zhao Dezhao's conjecture was thus confirmed—the father-in-law's family was indeed full of doubts about the future of the county king's son-in-law, so that there was only one who did not get the shadow of his father and would not have the opportunity to become an official in the foreseeable future. A concubine who is an evil son, is willing to take the initiative to serve and fight for his future.

Now that he is the king of the county, he is still not favored. Of course, this will not make Zhao Dezhao feel very happy.

"That's okay. Right now, you don't want to burn cold stoves. When this king makes garbage so popular, if you want to catch up with the rise and post hot stoves, I'm afraid you may not be in trouble!"

Zhao Dezhao stood at the door of the newly opened State Administration of Taxation, thinking this in his mind, while chatting with his uncle Wang Zixing, smiling and saying: "Brother Xing, look at the Feng Shui terrain of our State Administration of Taxation, does it look like it can be done?" The momentum of a big event?"

Wang Zixing was not polite: "Whether the State Administration of Taxation can succeed depends on manpower and laws, not on geomantic omen and terrain, let alone aura."

Zhao Dezhao smiled. He was very satisfied with this answer. This uncle was still very discerning and knowledgeable. He did not talk about the always correct nonsense about "cultivation of morality and self-cultivation" like ordinary Confucian scholars.

Of course, it's just that I have a bit of a temper, um, to put it nicely, it's too honest, and most people can't stand it.

"Brother Xing, I now know why your father-in-law and other uncles don't like you, and the entire Wang family rejects you. I'm afraid it's not just because you are a concubine." Since Wang Zixing spoke sincerely, Zhao Dezhao also spoke directly. .

"I know it too, but I don't want to change it, and I can't change it."

Zhao Dezhao laughed out loud. He found that he was more and more appreciative of this uncle who was used to sarcastic remarks and outspoken words. There will definitely be many things suitable for him here in the future.

"Your Highness, our State Administration of Taxation has chosen a good place, very good!"

A loud voice spoke up behind him, it was Zhao Dezhao's other new helper, Shi Yuanliang, who came from the family of Shi Shouxin, the emperor's brother and in-law of Zhao Dezhao's emperor's father, and the Jiedu envoy of the Tianping Army.

Shi Shouxin was a prestigious military general. Like Wang Pu, the prime minister of the two dynasties, he was the son and daughter-in-law of the emperor. The emperor chose the two of them to get married. This in itself is enough to show that the two important ministers, Wu and Wen, had great influence in the country. The prestige and weight of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, apart from his father-in-law Wang Pu, Zhao Dezhao would certainly not let go of wooing Shi Shouxin, an important general in the army. Work under his own command.

As Zhao Dezhao expected, Shi Shouxin had to give this face, but it was just to save face. He just sent a nephew from his own family, and he was also a cousin with a relatively distant blood. The meaning of perfunctory was obvious.

"It doesn't matter, Uncle Shi, General Shi, if you have the first one, you will have the second one. Sooner or later, this king will let you send all your nephews and sons to serve this king, and then you will be dragged into the pirate ship! "

Zhao Dezhao thought so in his heart, turned his head and asked Shi Yuanliang with a smile: "I don't know what's so good about this place?"

Shi Yuanliang replied with a smile: "The State Administration of Taxation is a place where wealth is gathered. This place is called Yuzui Lane. The fish mouth has one mouth and eats all directions. It can only go in and out. Isn't the implication nothing more auspicious?"

Zhao Dezhao laughed loudly, embraced Wang Zixing and Shi Yuanliang's shoulders affectionately with both hands, and the three of them walked into the main gate of the State Administration of Taxation side by side.

As he walked in, Zhao Dezhao asked with a smile: "You two guess again, there are several famous calligraphers in the imperial court, why don't I ask for their calligraphy, but let my wife inscribe on the plaque?"

"Of course it's because Mrs. Zun's handwriting is elegant and dignified, not inferior to any famous writer." Shi Yuanliang was a person who would cheer, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Your Highness treats Madam well, of course she thinks everything is good." Wang Zixing continued to speak bluntly.

Zhao Dezhao laughed and shook his head: "Wrong! Because you need to have the money to polish your pen when you ask for someone else's writing. Let your wife write it, and this benefit will not fall into the hands of outsiders. This is called keeping the fat and water in the field of outsiders."

The two never expected such a reason, they couldn't help but stop and opened their mouths in astonishment.

Zhao Dezhao patted the shoulders of the two of them with both hands, held back his smile and said: "You two are also related to this king, so naturally you are not considered outsiders, even if a little fat water doesn't want to flow to outsiders, let alone How about great fame and wealth? Right now, the king’s situation is still small, and when this king soars into the sky in the future, soaring above the nine heavens, the unrivaled achievements will be within reach of the two of you!”

How could Wang Zixing and Shi Yuanliang not understand the implication of "flying to the sky, soaring above the nine heavens". come here.

Zhao Dezhao's encouragement and hints made Wang Zixing and Shi Yuanliang seem to see an exciting and wonderful scene in front of them. The two couldn't help their chests thumping wildly, their whole bodies were hot, and their ambition to follow the Ming Lord to do something great came to an end. Bursting in the bottom of my heart.
