[Red Mansion] The occupation of Huangsang!

Chapter 56 Being a king and an official, benefiting the country and the people

After discussing the political affairs, Shui Lan didn't stay long in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but went to Kunning Palace to have dinner with the two children.

Shui Lan really cared for Wu Tingfang's two children.Of course, Jia Zhaoyi's sister, Shui Lan, also hurts, but compared to the long-awaited two children, one of whom is his future heir, it always lacks a little flavor.This can be seen from the names of the three children currently born by the princess.

The twins of the dragon and phoenix are called Shui Ying and Shui Luo, and together they are Ying Luo.In Buddhist scriptures, Yingluo was originally a decoration on the neck of ancient Indian Buddha statues. It is made of all kinds of treasures in the world and means "infinite light".According to the first volume of "Praise of Buddha's Actions", when Sakyamuni was the prince, he was "the solemn body of Yingluo".In addition, Yingluo also means beautiful jade.

Shuiying is next to the jade character that Shui Lan's next prince should follow. The combined meaning of her and Shui Luo's names is so beautiful, and the second princess born by Jia Zhaoyi, Shui Wang.

Complying with the rules of Lao Shui's family, all the sisters and children born are next to the female character.The character 婠 has the meaning of good posture and moral character.The meaning is good, but it is not as good as the beauty contained in Shui Ying.

However, in ancient times, the concubines knew clearly that in the previous life, Shui Lan especially hated the so-called illegitimate children who appeared for true love. Some treatment.

And in ancient times, the emperor's father's education from childhood to adulthood also made Shui Lan understand one thing, looking for true love in the royal family is undoubtedly looking for death.Shui Li didn't want to die, so she naturally gave up on love.

Now the twins of the dragon and the phoenix are more than three years old. They are lively and active and curious about everything.A few days ago, because of the snow, I was detained in the Kunning Palace, and I couldn't go to the imperial garden to harm the vegetation. I was a little listless.As a good father who loves his children, why didn't Shui Lan go to see it.You must know that when he was still young, his emperor's father did not hesitate to let him accompany Shuizhai to harm the imperial garden.

A few words, and the words of taking the two children out of the palace to play when the weather improved calmed down the unhappy twins. When the two children went to the lunch break as usual, Shui Lan and Wu Tingfang sat down and drank tea together.

Wu Tingfang is indeed a well-known virtuous person. Seeing that Shui Lan's face was a little dull, she guessed that he was unhappy because of the heavy snow recently, so she couldn't help but comfort her. "Your Majesty, the heavy snow has stopped. You should relax. It is expected that there will be no serious disaster."

Wu Tingfang didn't know about the secret letter delivered by Jinyi's dark guard, so she could only comfort Shui Lan with words on this point.I thought that Shui Lan's expression should be restrained after hearing what she said, but she never thought that Shui Lan's expression would become even uglier.

"Ting Fang, you don't know..."

With a dark face, Shui Li told Wu Tingfang the secret letter that the Jinyi dark guard risked his life to deliver.When Wu Tingfang heard this, his expression turned one side, and he said in disbelief.

"Why are these officials so courageous? They don't know that the more they try to hide the disaster, the more they can't hide it..."

"It's probably because I'm afraid I'll take their heads off!"

Shui Lan curled her lips into a bloodthirsty smile.If these local officials had reported the disaster truthfully to me when the disaster first occurred, I would not have punished them. After all, natural disasters *, * can be avoided, but natural disasters... who has the ability to influence God.

But now, if Shui Lan doesn't kill this group of officials with strange brains and state salaries who don't do anything that benefits the country and the people, he is really unwilling.Even if the literati all over the world accused him of killing too much, so what if he was the executioner emperor...

After Shui Lan smiled coldly, she then followed Ma Li's proposal of collecting the wealth of businessmen from all over the world to provide disaster relief.

"It's okay for the national treasury to be empty now... It's just that we need to be cautious about granting vacancies. It can't be too high or too low, but we have to think carefully." After Wu Tingfang smiled slightly, he picked up the teapot and made a cup for Shui Lan. Tea.After Shui Lan took a sip of the freshly brewed tea, she continued. "Thinking that the emperor has something in his heart, Ting Fang will stop talking..."

"I have a plan in my heart, but I don't know whether I should trust the officials of the Great Yong Dynasty. I said that I will hire people without suspicion, but I find that I really can't do it."

Shui Lan didn't care what Wu Tingfang felt when he heard these words. At this moment, he only wanted to vent his dissatisfaction.Shui Lan actually knows that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and also knows that officials who are greedy occasionally, as long as they are not greedy and can do things well, it is not business-like.It's just that...you are greedy and don't do business, if something happens, you don't solve it, and you just hide it for fear of taking responsibility, even if Wu Tingfang said it, it's a natural disaster*. *It can be avoided, but once this natural disaster happens, you can hide it if you want to.

Shui Lan shook her head, left the words "Ting Fang, take a rest" out of interest, and walked out of Kunning Palace.At this time, the sky had cleared up, and the roads in the palace that were buried by heavy snow were also cleaned up by the palace people.

As the winter snow melted, the coolness came to her face with the wind, which made Shui Lan shiver uncontrollably.Wu Dequan, who followed closely beside him, hurried forward to put a thick padded cape on Shui Lan, and handed him the heater for Shui Lan to hug. ''

Shui Lan stood in the Imperial Garden in a dull mood for a while, watching the bleak scenery of the Imperial Garden and couldn't help sighing.

"Wu Dequan, how about asking the queen to pull out all the flowers in the imperial garden and plant fruits and vegetables next year?"

Wu Dequan was stunned for a moment by the divine voice of Shui Lan, and when he recovered, Wu Dequan hurriedly replied. "It doesn't matter what the Lord Long Live says. It is expected that when the fruits and vegetables are full, there will be a special scene."

"Forget it, don't flatter me, I'm just talking casually!"

Shui Lan looked at the sky again, suddenly became interested and wanted to visit the Imperial Garden in this weather, so she said with a smile. "Let's go, let's walk around this imperial garden with me."

So Shui Lan took Wu Dequan, who was three or four steps away from him, and started to stroll around the imperial garden in winter.After a while, the news of Huang Sang's appearance in the imperial garden spread to all the concubines in the harem. Like bees smelling nectar, these concubines appeared in the imperial garden in fancy dress, like Shui Lan. kind of encounter.

In a short period of time, Shui Lan met five, six or seven concubines who came out to visit the imperial garden in winter, met Huang Sang by chance, and were so pleasantly surprised.Shui Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she could only send this group of concubines who, in order to compete for favor and show off their slender figures, who wore light gauze in winter and didn't even care about their own bodies, went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to continue nesting.

After successively convening officials to properly complete the large-scale disaster relief matters, the document written by the well-written and flamboyant third child called on wealthy businessmen across the country to donate for disaster relief caused a huge sensation.In particular, the top ten who donated the most donations in the document can be given vacancies. In addition to vacancies, the top three also have places for future generations to participate in scientific examinations.

All of a sudden, the whole country of Dayong was in turmoil, and there were many discussions in the streets and alleys.And when this news was spread across the country along with the documents, it also aroused considerable heated discussions across the country.

A considerable number of wealthy businessmen are dubious about this news, but because the news is an official document issued by the central government, most of the wealthy businessmen still choose to believe it.

All of a sudden, wealthy businessmen from all over the world began to consolidate their properties one after another, and rushed to the capital with bank notes.Fortunately, through the efforts of all the men of the Jingshi Jingwei Office and the recruited young and strong civilians, the official road leading to the capital was basically cleared, and the smooth flow of the road was well guaranteed.

A week later, on the approach of the Spring Festival, the first Royal Auction Fundraising Meeting of the Yong Dynasty was officially held, hosted by Jia She and Xiao Ba, and the third child was in charge of recording.The reason why it is called so is because this fundraiser symbolically takes out the built-in objects that the royal family has piled up in the past, and auctions them with a clear eye, instead of just collecting money...

This auction, abbot.The three people who were in charge of the records had truly seen how rich these rich merchants were in the Yong Dynasty. It would not be an exaggeration to say that pearls are like earth and gold is like iron!Among them, the salt merchants in the Lianghuai and Jinling areas accounted for the largest proportion, and among them, the Zhao family, Liu family, and Shen family were the leaders.As for the Xue family where Beauty Xue lived, and the Xue family, one of the four major families in the original book of the Red Chamber, they donated [-]% of the entire family property.

I am grateful for the kindness of Xue Zhi, the head of the Xue family, and I also think that the Xue family secretly served as a Zhongshusheren.Shui Lan resumed the title of her ancestor Ziwei Sheren, let her continue to take the job of the imperial merchant, and then rewarded Zheng Qipin Chengshilang with a idle job (vacant job), and made an exception and gave him a place to participate in the imperial examination, but he didn't know it was Such an unintentional act of his own completely changed the fate of Xue Pan who was ignorant and incompetent, and also changed the fate of Xue Baochai and sister Bao by the way.

You must know that in ancient times, the future of a daughter's family was often linked to the family and her father and brother. If the family is strong and the father and brother are reliable, then it is very simple to be satisfied with the marriage and to have a smooth life.

In the original book, the reason why Xue Baochai would show up to take care of the family business, and the reason why she planned to break up Baodai and become Bao's second grandmother, was because her elder brother Xue Pan was not up to date, and for the sake of the family, Xue Baochai could only do calculations everywhere.If the elder brother is mature and can be relied on by the family, how could Xue Baochai choose to be like this.

The Xue family is considered a special case and is not counted in the top ten places.However, because the Xue family had made a good start, the rich businessmen who liked to fight for wealth paid high prices one after another to buy the royal old-fashioned items.When the first Royal Auction fundraising meeting came to an end, a rough count was made, and a total of 5505 million taels of silver and 20 gold were obtained.

Shocked by the monstrous wealth of the rich merchants, Jia She and Xiao Ba looked at each other in blank dismay. After exchanging the banknotes for cash and depositing them in the treasury, the two entered the palace excitedly and proposed to Shui Lan to find some unwarranted names, Put the money of these wealthy businessmen into the national treasury.

Watery...

In her previous life, she was a rich second generation, and Shui Lan, whose family's wealth was listed on the richest list, looked down on this behavior of killing donkeys, so she scolded Jia She and Xiao Bayi Tong severely.

"This world belongs to me, and it belongs to the people under my rule. To be a man, you must be honest, let alone an emperor, how can you do such things as killing donkeys and chickens to get eggs!"

Jia She was shy and didn't dare to speak, while Xiao Ba hummed unconvinced, relying on being Shui Lan's younger brother. "The reason why my brother and Jia Shangshu proposed this is not for the benefit of the emperor, and those rich businessmen are all fat, who knows where the money came from."

"Wealth is accumulated from generation to generation. How do you know that the wealth that people have now is not blessed by their ancestors and accumulated from generation to generation." The ancestors of the Laoshui family first raised the loess to the sky, digging food in the ground; He has been a beggar and escaped famine with the ancestors of the Jia family!

Shui Li rolled her eyes resolutely, and after sternly warning Xiao Ba not to do this kind of crap in private, she then spoke softly. "Give me the list of the top ten who donated the most money."''

Xiao Ba gave Shui Lan the list of donations in his sleeve, and was about to leave with Jia Amnesty. When they went back to their respective homes to rest, Shui Lan frowned and thought about it, and then said.

"Xiaoba, you tell the third, let him write an article, write down the names of the other donors, and praise them verbally." But there are also many wealthy businessmen's hearts, why not do it for Shui Lan!
