The world of rebirth

After Wenzhen finished the music, he opened his mouth and said, "There is a beautiful person, as gentle as Qingyang. I think it's better to call him Qingyang!"

"Good character." Zuo Shiheng stroked his beard and praised, "Beautiful eyes, beautiful eyes, beautiful eyes, this child can afford this word."

The great-grandfather of the family all spoke, and it was the emperor's golden words. Whoever dared to say that the word was not well obtained would even praise it.

Only Ning Yunjin felt a little embarrassed, and when he heard this word, he couldn't help but think that "to be stylish is to show off, and to have no disdain to be more clear", and suddenly he felt bad.However, in ancient Chinese, Qingyang not only refers to delicate eyebrows, but also generally refers to a person's beautiful appearance and demeanor, but it is a very good compliment.

Amidst the sound of admiration, Yang Ranggong said in a strange way, "I heard that just one portrait of Second Young Master Ning has already been awarded five thousand gold, which is really extraordinary!"

"Eh?" Ning Yunjin had never heard of this, and was a little surprised.

The most indispensable thing in this room is people with good hands and eyes. The major events in the capital cannot be hidden from them. Shao Zhengxing explained with a smile, "I heard that Sun Benshan painted two portraits for Ning Er. After seeing it there, I was amazed and people bid to buy it."

Ning Yunjin blinked his eyes twice, he really didn't know there was such a thing, he was too busy these days, so he didn't have time to pay attention.He glanced at his expressionless father, and knew that this matter was probably true, and suddenly he was a little bit dizzy, and he was about to become an official. Although it is a good story to spread such a story, it is still inappropriate.

He was obviously just talking about painting, but for some reason, Wen Zhen, who was in a good mood just now, suddenly put on a straight face, and said abruptly, "Since all the ministers have arrived, let's discuss it first!"

All the people present were very accustomed to Wen Zhen's moodiness, and they were not at all unaccustomed to his blunt behavior of changing the subject, and they entered the office mode with a serious face.

Ning Yunjin heaved a sigh of relief, talking about himself on such an occasion was really stressful, even if he liked the feeling of showing off, he didn't want to be put on fire.After serving tea to everyone calmly, he obediently retreated to Chen Liyan's seat.

There is no place for a waiter like him. To put it nicely, he is walking in the South Study Room, or to put it badly, he is a senior waiter.Only when he climbed to Chen Liyan's position can he be assigned a set of tables and chairs, but this is not a good job, because it is impossible to make meeting minutes without a little skill in this era without recording pens.

Today's topic is to count the accounts of the official warehouses in the capital and several key provinces, and to mobilize a batch of grain to be transported to the Northwest Army.At the end of autumn in previous years, various tribes of the Fengwu tribe would go out to disturb the border one after another, looting a batch of supplies to survive the long winter.Although the Fengwu tribe has not only established a country, but also submitted a letter of state to negotiate peace, this does not mean that their habits will change over the years-after all, their resources have not increased.

First of all, the Minister of the Ministry of Households stated the amount of grain stored in the accounts. The person who is now in charge of the Ministry of Households is Wu Yong. He was born in the last year of the previous dynasty. A lot, although this person is not good at making money, but he is good at financial management. He opened his mouth and reported the grain storage of each province. The official storage of the capital and several major grain-producing provinces combined totaled 40 million shi.

Naturally, it was Ning Jingxian who raised his demand next, and he opened his mouth and said, "At least 40 shi is needed to meet the food supply of the border army."

"That's impossible!" Wu Yong quickly refused without waiting for Wen Zhen to speak. Even though Ning Jingxian only asked for a fraction, the amount is still too large.He said distressedly, "These grains are barely enough to distribute salaries. Even if they are tightened, they can only provide 15 shi at most."

Ning Jingxian didn't argue with him at all, and directly clasped his fists and said to Wen Zhen, "My Majesty, if we want to build a line of defense in the northwest, we need at least 15 troops. How can a mere [-] shi be enough? Do we need soldiers?" Are we going to fight hungry?"

Wen Zhen didn't express his opinion immediately, but just waited for Wu Yong to talk about his difficulties.The wrinkles on Wu Yong's face were all twisted into a ball, it was almost impossible to say that he had tried his best, but Ning Jingxian bit him to death and did not let go.

Although this can be said to be a meeting of the top bigwigs in Daxia, the scene is similar to that of small street vendors bargaining. Ning Yunjin has seen people go directly to the martial arts before, and he has no sense of literati's vivid words and no hands.

However, it was the first time for Ning Yunjin to see Ning Jingxian, who was usually serious and preoccupied with others, so his gaze fell on him most of the time curiously.In fact, he really felt that his father's request was not excessive at all, and it was even less.

If an adult man wants to perform high-intensity training every day, he must eat at least two kilograms of grain.Now one shi is equal to about 59.2 kilograms. If 5 people are to be fed within three months, it will cost more than 15 shi.

But now there are only [-] troops on the border! ?Not to mention that these grains are exploited layer by layer during transportation, and very few of them actually fall on the soldiers.

Ning Yunjin went to the Northwest during the expansion of the army. I remember that the Eight Banners soldiers were fine at that time. At least they could have a dry meal for each meal. The meals of these green battalion soldiers were porridge. After training, they were so hungry that they couldn’t sleep at night. , I had to get out of bed and pour water to fill my stomach a little bit. When I walked, I felt my stomach sloshing.

He looked at Ning Jingxian in a trance, but Wen Zhen's mood became irritable, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, this kid is so old, why does he still look like he can't do without his father.

Lowering his voice, Wen Zhen first interrupted the debate between the two, and turned to look at Chen Liyan, "How is the grain usage in the official warehouse in the past five years?"

Chen Liyan stood up and said calmly, "Reporting to the emperor, this part of the content is in charge of Ning Yunjin, a subordinate of this minister, please allow him to play it right."

When Wen Zhen entered the South Study Room, Li Deming had already quietly reported this matter, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Sure."

The consumption situation is very complicated, involving the annual income of food, the amount and method of food consumption, and the amount of loss must be explained one by one. You must know that there is no EXCEL magic tool for data analysis these days.When keeping accounts, at most it is just registering by category. If the logic is not good, people will even be confused.

If there is no photographic memory, Ning Yunjin can only be caught blind.But now such a small problem can't test him, and he opened his mouth with his hands behind his back and began to talk incessantly.This is another function of the Bachelor of Attendance—the doll encyclopedia plus a search engine.

The discussion was approaching noon in the blink of an eye, and Wen Zhen seemed to dislike him for being at ease, and would ask him some questions from time to time during the heated discussion.At the beginning, Ning Yunjin was a little worried that he would ask about something he hadn't read, but Wen Zhen's questioning was very measured, and he didn't intend to embarrass him deliberately.

His attitude of answering without being humble or overbearing made those big bosses feel very satisfied, and even asked Ning Yunjin directly past Chen Liyan when they encountered something they needed.Chen Liyan was so angry that his old face turned red. He never expected that Ning Yunjin could turn such a difficult errand into a bargain. , he couldn't help shivering.

Seeing Ning Yunjin's limelight, Yang Ranggong took an opportunity to ask, "Do you know how much the warehouse earns from loans every year? How many officials are punished for embezzling grain?"

Ning Yunjin was really dumbfounded now, he really didn't know about this, and there was no such content in those few materials.But if he directly said he didn't know, he didn't know how this elder Yang Ge would deal with him next.

When he was thinking about how to deal with it, Wen Zhen suddenly said, "Mr. Yang Ge's question is difficult for our new champion. Chen Liyan, next time, remember to prepare this part first." Pause , he said again, "It's getting late, let's end the discussion here today. After returning, all the ministers will draw up a specific charter and hand it over. I won't leave a meal!"

Wen Zhen's obvious partiality, and thinking that Ning Er's name and characters were taken by the emperor himself, how can these old foxes not understand where the Sacred Heart lies, and they looked at Ning Yunjin with benevolent eyes like Lafayette, This young man has a bright future!

Usually the emperor does not leave food, and the ministers naturally go back to the official office to eat the food boxes sent from home, but it is more difficult for people like Ning Yunjin. The same unpalatable cauldron diet.

Ning Jingxian also worked in the palace when he was young, so he naturally knew that the food in the palace was not even warm after being delivered to people. Although he knew that his mistress was able to endure hardship, he was still worried that this kid would be spoiled and raised for so many years. My stomach couldn't bear it, so after the meeting, I deliberately waited outside for Ning Yunjin to come out, wanting to explain a few more words.

When Ning Yunjin saw him, he smiled, stepped forward and shouted affectionately, "Father, are you waiting for me?"

Ning Jingxian nodded slightly, and explained gently, "Before I was too busy and forgot to tell you some rules in the palace, and I never thought that you would be on duty in the palace on the first day of your errand." He reminded, "Is there any food at home?" If you can send it to the palace, you will use less food from the palace, and eat the food box from the mansion after you return to the yamen."

It's not the first time for an old fritter like Ning Yunjin to work in the palace. He knows that waiters on duty like them can exchange with those on evening duty after noon at most, so he has already brought two steamed buns. Come on stomach, you can eat whatever you want after leaving the palace.But the feeling of someone caring is completely different, so he smiled extra brightly.

Wen Zhen, who was about to go back to the bedroom for dinner, suddenly felt unbalanced. This kid is a little bit heartless, and he didn't even thank him for helping him... He turned his head and said to Li Deming, "Go and call Ning's Xiao Er." Come to grind it for me, I just remembered that since I have taken the calligraphy for him, it is better to give him the calligraphy together, good things come in pairs."

After Li Deming agreed, he turned and walked towards the affectionate father and son over there, muttering in his heart, Your Majesty, there are so many people in the palace lining up to serve you, why bother other fathers and sons? To be damned!

The author has something to say: "There is a beautiful person, as gentle as Qingyang" is taken from Cao Pi's "Shanzai Xing", the first half is praising the beauty, the second half is yearning, Wenzhen's children's boots are smoldering.Master Zuo just misinterpreted it as Qi Feng~~
