The son crosses every night

The emperor felt a little restless, don't look at him as the lord of a country, but in fact the emperor's family has no food left.

Last year there was a snowstorm, and there was another big fight. All the silver taels were burned here. This year, the summer grain has not come down, and it has been struggling for half a year. There are only more than 1000 two million taels left in the treasury.

There are many rains and floods in summer, and the frontier is not very peaceful. This area of ​​more than 1000 million taels can be used up at any time.

Although Tanghua's 30 taels is not much, it is difficult for the whole country to have someone who can earn this amount in just half a year's profit.

The emperor pondered for a while, and asked: "Can the business tax be paid?"

The Dasheng Dynasty continued the previous dynasty, the business tax was thirty and one tax, and the merchants were divided into merchants and merchants.

Merchant is a traveling merchant, walking between the city and the city, before going out, he has to go to the government to get a guidepost, the guidepost indicates the merchant's hometown, and the goods sold are counted by the defenders before they leave the checkpoint, and taxes are collected.

Si Jia opened a shop in the city, and went to the Yamen to report and pay taxes at the end of every month.

It's not yet the end of the month, and Tang Hua almost forgot about it for a while.

He shyly shook his head, and whispered, "Pay at the end of the month. If so, the profit should be only 30 taels."

The emperor couldn't help but said: "Your business is too profitable."

Tang Hua looked at his expression from the corner of his eyes, and said honestly: "I can sell so many gauze this time, thanks to Uncle Huang wearing it first, Xiangyun gauze is a new thing, everyone is surprised, next I'm afraid the business will not be as good as before."

What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom, it has always been like this.

The emperor smiled: "Don't underestimate yourself, I see that your porcelain is selling well, and it seems that you can continue to make money."

Tanghua thought to himself that Uncle Huang really knew about his business, and he was a little glad that he took the initiative to send silver taels in today, otherwise he would lose his sacred heart, and he might not be able to do business well in the future.

Tang Hua replied honestly: "To make a little money and burn a kiln of porcelain, the masters are busy for two or three months, and in the end, eight out of ten must be smashed. Even if they don't, there are not many people who like this porcelain. Of the dozen or so pieces of porcelain fired last time, there are still four unsold.”

"That's pretty good, too."

Tanghua held the box in his hands, "This time Xiangyun Sha can sell so much, thanks to Uncle Huang, the villain originally wanted to honor some jade and jewelry, but he searched for it, but he didn't find the treasures he wanted. Think again, the world The treasures are all in the imperial uncle's treasury, and the villain thinks it's better to honor the imperial uncle's silver taels."

The emperor looked at his eyes more kindly, and said: "I don't know how many merchants I wear and use, and I don't know how to make a name for them. It doesn't have to be like this."

Tang Hua insisted: "Yes, this time thanks to Uncle Huang, the villain took 6 taels of profit, which is about [-]%, so you can accept it, Uncle Huang."

He raised his eyes, a pair of eyes were bright and clear, unusually agile, and he didn't see the slightest bit of reluctance.

Tanghua made a gesture of submitting, and the eunuch got the signal, hurried down and went up with the box, opened it to check if there was any abnormality.

I didn't expect that when I opened it, the silver bills inside were packed tightly like paper.

Even though the emperor didn't like such a little thing, when he saw the banknote, he was really moved by Tang Hua's sincerity and kindness.

He thought of his cousin and nephew again, and he felt more fond of Gu Wangfu in his heart.

The eunuch put the box away, and Yan Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor asked casually: "Are you still studying, preparing for the En examination in September?"

Tang Hua nodded honestly, "Yes, the villain is reviewing the book. Recently, I feel uneasy in the imperial capital, and I plan to go back to Zhuangzi to review the book."

The emperor smiled, "Just the Zhuangzi in Ruchuan County? I remember your father gave that Zhuangzi to you?"

Tang Hua was startled, and became more honest, "Yes. The villain is planning to go back there."

The emperor: "I see that you are ready, so you don't have to be obsessed with Enkao, how about helping the emperor's uncle go to the household department?"

The last few times when Tanghua entered the palace, his imperial uncle also said that he would appoint him an official, but it was only the clan's residence. Now he has jumped to the sky and directly entered the powerful household department.

Tanghua knew in his heart that his uncle probably saw that he could make money, and wanted him to help the household department make money.

Tang Hua hesitated a little, the emperor looked at his expression and asked, "Why?"

Tang Hua has always been a little afraid of his uncle, seeing that the other party stopped laughing and his expression became serious, he felt a little panicked.

He hurriedly replied: "Uncle Huihuang, the villain is afraid that he will not be able to take on a big job because of his lack of talent and learning."

The emperor comforted him, "You also grew up under my nose, how about you, how can I not know?"

Tang Hua was afraid that he would really entrust him to do something beyond his power, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Huang, the villain can make people burn porcelain and send people to dye cloth, it's just a coincidence that he got the prescription, it's not the villain's real ability , if you go to the household department, you are afraid of making mistakes."

The princes in the court are all adults, and the household department is the eldest prince's territory. The water is very deep, and Tang Hua is afraid that something will happen if he breaks in.

The emperor asked, "You don't want to go?"

Sweat broke out on Tanghua's back, and the tip of his forehead and nose were also covered with sweat, and he was very nervous.

After all, it was his own child. Seeing that he was frightened, the emperor softened his tone, "It's okay if you don't want to go, don't be nervous, I'm just asking you."

Knowing that he could no longer evade, Tang Hua knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you Uncle Huang, the villain is not unwilling, but just afraid of making mistakes. If Uncle Huang thinks it is feasible, the villain is willing to try his best."

The emperor pondered, "If you are worried, you can be a small official in the household department first, and get to know you for a while. I will specially approve you to go back every morning after your errands. You don't have to come again, and you won't delay your study."

Tang Hua thanked him, "The villain should be encouraged to give it a try."

The emperor smiled, "In the future, I don't need to be called a villain in front of me."

Tang Hua also laughed, "I thank you, Your Majesty."

He looks good, and his smile blooms like a spring flower. The emperor is over 50 years old, seeing them young people can't help but feel a little more kind.

The royal population is not abundant, Tang Hua used to stay in the deep courtyard of the palace, and his reputation was not obvious, the emperor directly skipped him, at this moment, when he saw him, he felt a little kindness in his heart.

Tanghua is different from his elder brother Gu Tangyu, he did not grow up under the emperor's knees, and he is less courageous, and he is very reserved when he enters the palace.

Tanghua had something on his mind, he should have been able to relax, but he got another job, thinking about it, he became a little nervous, he pursed his lips, planning to go back at night and ask Mr.

Not long after Tang Hua came home, Gu Ende walked in quickly, "Second Young Master!"

"What?" Tang Hua had just changed his clothes and washed his face, and was about to have dinner. Seeing his appearance, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Good thing!" Gu Ende panted lightly, while speaking quickly, his eyes were bright, "Your Majesty passed the order, you go and receive the order!"

Tanghua was stunned for a moment, and immediately told Misty, "Go find a set of clothes, and I'll go change clothes. He Zi, go and prepare a red envelope."

Misty He Zi immediately left in response.

Gu Ende hurriedly pulled him and said: "My son, the red envelope villain has been prepared, the incense table has been set up, the princess has also reported it, and I will wait for you."

Tang Hua just came back from the palace, and you were not as nervous as before when you received the news from the palace. He said calmly, "You go out to entertain the father-in-law who came from the palace first, and I will come as soon as I change my clothes."

The two male masters of their palace were not there, so the housekeeper had to show up to entertain them.

Gu Ende glanced at Tang Hua's expression, and said: "Today the young master Xiu Mu is at home, and he has come forward to entertain—"

Tang Hua was startled, and then said: "That's just right, just wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go."

Gu Ende became happy again, "I saw that father-in-law was smiling all over his face, it must be a good thing, son, hurry up."

Misty was quick with her hands and feet, and quickly prepared her clothes and accessories.

He Zi and He Hua hurriedly surrounded Tang Hua to put it on, and washed it again before he went out to receive the order.

The one who came to deliver the decree was a strange father-in-law, tall and fat, with a smiling face, as kind as Maitreya Buddha.

Tang Hua came out with someone, and said hello, "I'm sorry, Father-in-Law."

"Should." The fat father-in-law smiled, and looked at Princess Gu next to him, "Since the young master is here, will our family pass the decree?"

Concubine Gu nodded coldly, and knelt down facing the main entrance. Tang Hua hurriedly lifted up her clothes and knelt down before her. Beside him was Gu Tanghan.

The entire Gu Wang Mansion knelt down on the ground behind, and the fat father-in-law's face became serious, and he opened the imperial edict.

"By God's blessing, the emperor summoned him. Gu Tanghua, the second son of Prince Gu's mansion, is respectful and respectful... I specially confer the title of Jingyuan Fuguo General, hereby."

General Fuguo? !

From the Second Rank's Fuguo General!

Concubine Gu and Gu Tanghan's figures changed slightly, and Gu Tanghan couldn't help but looked back at Tanghua suddenly.

Everyone in the palace was stunned!

Fuguo General is the title of the prince's grandson, but not every prince's grandson can ask for this title.

This dynasty has been established for several decades, His Majesty has several sons, even more than a dozen grandsons, how can the title be as easy as before? !

Zhanghua's grandfather was a prince, and his father was the county king. Logically, he did not please his father, and he had no support from his mother's family. Even Gu Tanghan was white. There was no way he could be named, but the imperial decree came down.

Gu Tanghan's eyes barely burst into flames, he clenched his fists and knelt beside him, his face as hard as a stone.

After passing the decree, Tang Hua thanked the father-in-law.

The father-in-law smiled kindly again, "The decree has been passed on, so our family will go back first."

Gu Ende hurriedly stuffed a red envelope into the father-in-law's hand, but the father-in-law did not refuse.

Tang Hua cupped his hands, glanced at the princess, "I'll see off my father-in-law."

The father-in-law smiled and said, "General Fuguo, you don't have to be polite."

Following the father-in-law's words, Gu Tanghan's eyes became more angry, and he looked at Tanghua more and more unkindly. Fortunately, he still knew the severity and did not explode on the spot.
