Bandits

Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

All the officials were dumbfounded, this was not what they thought.

If what Master Xie said is true, the sixteen orphaned halls cost more than 8 to [-] taels of silver a year. It is easy to get a good reputation among the people, but how can the court get so much spare money? The land system has just been implemented. However, the tax money paid by the common people for a year may not be enough to support these dozens of orphanage halls.

Besides, who will be in charge of managing Shigutang in the sixth department?There are things to worry about in a orphanage that can be compared to running a family.And if this matter is done well, His Majesty will be the one who will be honored, but if it is not done well, they will be the ones to blame!

The officials of the congregation, especially the ministers, lowered their eyes slightly, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.They also noticed that if Master Liu didn't mention this matter today, Master Xie was in charge of Shigutang, but Master Liu mentioned this matter, and Master Xie took advantage of the situation to let go. Master Xie probably wanted to wait for someone to bring this up. Oh, but His Majesty is probably going to have a headache. This is something that the court should manage, but it is really hard to manage. Master Liu offended everyone. Think about Lord Murong back then, Sir Xie Whoever causes trouble will cheat whoever it is.

At this moment, Qi Ze stepped forward, and the other officials all peeked at her. Speaking of which, the Household Department is the most likely to take over Shigutang, but why is this old fox so impatient this time?

Qi Ze saluted and said, "Your Majesty, it's difficult to do this without experience in the six departments."

The other officials were relieved, Mr. Qi finally did a good thing for everyone this time, and they will never complain about the difficulty of collecting money from the Ministry of Households in the future.

But Qi Ze went on to say: "If Mr. Xie is still in the Ministry of Industry, it would be best to let the Ministry of Industry handle this matter, but Mr. Xie is not in the Ministry of Industry now, but it just so happens that I feel quite mentally ill recently, so I have to deal with the matter." The affairs of the Ministry are only incapable of doing what one wants, resulting in frequent mistakes, and the minister is about to retire and return home, so His Majesty can let Mr. Xie take over as Minister of the Ministry of Households and continue to manage Shigutang."

At first glance, this is a good way to get the best of all three things. First of all, the other five parts don’t have to worry about His Majesty letting them take over the Wugutang, and don’t have to worry about Mr. Xie’s reputation among the people is too high. Your Majesty can also get a good name. .

But thinking about it deeply, firstly, the court still spends money, and secondly, since His Majesty does not allow Mr. Xie to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, how can he agree to Mr. Xie as the Minister of the Ministry of Households, so the question comes back again , but Master Qi's move is to retreat, but to pick her out first.

I want to understand that other officials laughed angrily, why can't they hold their breath, Mr. Qi is still that old fox, now she understands the righteousness, His Majesty and Mr. Xie are not offended, but they are trapped in it.

Sure enough, all the officials saw His Majesty with a half-smile and said: "Qi Aiqing is in her prime, so it's a little early." After speaking, they glanced at them.

The officials knew that His Majesty would only choose from the five of them, so they had better think about what excuses they should find, so that they could get away like the old fox and not offend them!

At this time Wang Qing stepped forward, except for Yan Mu and Jimo, the rest of the people did not know the relationship between Yueli and Wang Qing, they only knew that she was His Majesty's confidant, now it depends on what she has to say first.

Just listen to Wang Qing said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Mr. Xie will continue to be in charge of the operation of the Gutang. Wouldn't it be convenient for His Majesty to allocate a sum of money for the Gutang every year in the name of the court?"

Everyone immediately understood what Wang Qing meant. Master Xie still manages Wugutang personally, but the imperial court gave a part of the money to let the people know that His Majesty is also wholeheartedly promoting this matter. If His Majesty has won the hearts of the people, there is no need to worry about Master Xie's reputation being too high. The common people themselves will think that Mr. Xie acted on His Majesty's orders.

The clever official hurriedly said: "The minister is also willing to donate a sum of money to Mr. Xie's orphan hall every year."

The rest of the officials also hurriedly agreed, and they all said that they were willing to donate a sum of money to the Shigutang every year. If they don't pay at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will take over this big trouble. It is better for them to spend the money to avoid disaster.

Feng Qiyue asked Yueli, "Would Xie Aiqing be willing?"

Yueli said: "We are also serving His Majesty, since your lords are willing to contribute money, how can I be stingy with your efforts?"

Mr. Xie agreed, and the officials were relieved. It was finally resolved. Mr. Wang was smart, and Mr. Liu also gave Wang Qing a grateful glance.

Feng Qiyue said: "Liu Aiqing, you should be responsible for the donations of the gentlemen."

Master Liu turned pale instantly and said yes, His Majesty is obviously dissatisfied with her for letting him do this offending thing.

Everyone also understood that His Majesty's heart is for Lord Xie, and Lord Xie is also very skillful. It is better not to interfere with her affairs easily, and let His Majesty make his own decision. Lord Liu has also found the way for them.

Everyone was looking forward to the next court soon, and they heard Yueli say again: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."

Feng Qiyue said: "Ai Qing, tell me."

Yue Li said: "Your Majesty, the Shigu Hall has been completed. Except for a few soldiers guarding the Shigu Hall to protect it, the rest can be transferred to Qingjiang. The soldiers in Wolong Village were originally trained by the Empress Dowager. , let His Highness continue to be in charge of the training of the Qingjiang Navy in the future."

The Qingjiang navy to be formed includes [-] soldiers from Nanjun in addition to the soldiers from Wolongzhai. Wu Ke, Minister of the Ministry of War, turned his eyes slightly when he heard Yueli's words, but the rest of the officials turned a deaf ear to them. After a moment of hesitation, Wu Ke still didn't say anything.

Feng Qiyue said: "Yes, the Empress Dowager will concurrently serve as the Commander of the Qingjiang Navy in the future."

An Ran reported this matter to Feng Qiyue before, and Feng Qiyue readily agreed, so An Ran did not delay at this time, and stood up to thank her.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily, Feng Qiyue announced his resignation, and all the officials wanted to quickly discuss today's affairs with their familiar colleagues, and they all left together.

Feng Qiyue, Yueli and An Ran arrived at the study room, Feng Qiyue asked Yueli first: "Is your current money still enough?"

Yue Li said with a smile: "Most of the soldiers in Wolongzhai have been transferred away, and a lot of money can be saved. I planned to use the money to temporarily maintain the operation of the Shigutang, but if I add the money donated by the officials, it will be enough for the time being. "

Feng Qiyue said: "I also promised to give you money, I will transfer you a sum of money from the private treasury, 50 taels is enough?"

An Ran also said: "Master, I also have tens of thousands of taels of silver here."

Yue Li smiled and waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty, do me a favor, it's more useful than giving me money."

Feng Qiyue smiled and asked: "What's the matter? I can do it for you."

Yue Li smiled and went to the premise of the imperial case to write down a poem. After finishing writing, he took out the paper and handed it to Feng Qiyue to read.

Feng Qiyue looked at it, and saw what was written on the paper:

tea

Fragrant leaves, buds.

Mu Shike, love monk home.

Grinding carved white jade, weaving red yarn.

Cho fry the color of yellow pistils, and turn the bowl to turn the dusty flowers.

Invited to accompany Mingyue after night, and face the sunrise alone before morning.

Wash away all the ancient and modern people tirelessly, will know how to boast after being drunk.

Feng Qiyue said: "What do you mean?"

Yue Li said: "As long as His Majesty brings the wind of drinking tea in Fengxiang as soon as possible."

Feng Qiyue pondered for a moment, then said: "Do you want to sell the tea to Fengxiang?"

Yueli said: "That's right, the tea gardens in the village near Wolongzhai have already grown tea trees. If we can open up the tea market in Fengxiang, Wugutang won't have to worry about money in the future."

Looking at Yueli, Feng Qiyue was amazed. Yueli can always bring her surprises. I don't know what kind of surprises Yueli will bring her. Feng Qiyue said: "I also have merchants. Team, do you want me to send someone to sell tea for you?"

Yue Li shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just ask Ah Shi to help me."

Feng Qiyue naturally knew about Ah Shi. The earliest friends Yue Li met in Yongcheng were Jin Yuan and the other was that Ah Shi. Ah Shi only got a place in the chamber of commerce with the help of the Jin family, and his foundation was still shallow. Because Jin Yuan is her own, Yueli is afraid that she will ask Jin Yuan for help, so Feng Qiyue asked, "Don't you believe me?"

Yue Li smiled: "A Shi is from Wolong Village."

Feng Qiyue raised her eyebrows in surprise.Even An Ran looked at Yue Li in surprise.
