Chapter 932 So, very good
Just after Shen time in the afternoon, the sun slowly slanted to the west, and the sun gradually changed from scorching to gentle. The breeze suddenly picked up, blowing the leaves, stirring the wind chimes hanging from the eaves of the roof, and ringing an evening.
"Oh, the sun is setting, it's time to let go."
In the office, Zhu Pingan put down his brush, stretched his arms, stretched his waist, and looked out the window lazily. Seeing the sun slanting westward outside the window, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
Happy?
Yes, Zhu Pingan is indeed very happy at this time.
The sun is setting and it is time to leave the office and get off work. Today is the twenty-ninth day of June. According to the Ming calendar, June is a small month. There are 29 days in a small month and 30 days in a big month. Today is the 29th of June, which means that today is the last day of June, and tomorrow is the first day of July.
What does it mean for the first day of July? !
The first day of July means that the day to rest and bath has finally arrived!
It's finally a holiday!
After working hard for so long, I finally have a day off.
In other words, compared with the Ming Dynasty, modern people are really happy. The modern society protects workers’ right to rest very well. National laws clearly stipulate that employers should ensure that workers have at least one day off per week. It's a two-week break system. However, Daming is not like this! Emperor Hongwu wished that officials would go to work every day! The officials' rest and bathing system was changed from the five-day rest in the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the ten-day rest in the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the first and fifteenth rest of the lunar new year, with only two days off in January.
After working hard for half a month, it's finally time for a holiday. Can Zhu Pingan be unhappy? !
I miss weekends!
If the ancients traveled through time and space to return to modern times, they would definitely be attracted by the modern loose vacation system. With more vacations, the ancients would have more opportunities to visit mountains and rivers, visit relatives and friends, and their poetry output would increase several times. more than.
Zhu Pingan slandered in his heart for a while, then began to pack up his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and prepared to leave work
Just as Zhu Pingan was putting the pen, ink, paper and inkstone back, he suddenly heard a commotion from outside.
Then, I saw crowds of people outside the window, rushing to tell each other, forming a group, cheering.
What's wrong?
Did something great happen?
Zhu Ping'an looked out of the window curiously, feeling distracted for a while.
"Zihou, let's go out and have a look together. It seems that Zhengfu (Yin Shidan, style name Zhengfu) brought back His Royal Highness's Suici."
Chen Yiqin appeared excitedly at the door of Zhu Ping'an's office room, and waved to Zhu Ping'an.
"Ah? So fast?!" Zhu Pingan was delighted and also surprised when he heard the words. When did Yin Shidan go to the Ministry of Households to receive the New Year's Gift? Didn't he say at noon that he would go to the Household Department to receive the New Year's Gift tomorrow?
Also, I just gave Yan Shifan a gift this morning, and I brought Sui back this afternoon before I got off work? !
According to historical records, after King Yu gave the gift, it seems that it was the second or third day that he realized the gift of the year.
Unexpectedly, I got it back on the same day.
Unknowingly, this little butterfly of mine flapped its wings and accelerated the speed of a certain historical event.
Ming dynasty!
I, Zhu Pingan, will not come here in vain!
Zhu Ping'an smiled, as bright as the sun outside the window, and his inner confidence in the future increased a bit.
Zhu Ping'an and Chen Yiqin went to the outside of the hall together, but met Gao Gong on the way, so the three of them walked together.
The three came to the outside of the hall, and the three people outside came, and they all bowed their hands to salute the three, and made a way for the three to go straight to the center. In the center, Yin Shidan stood there with a smile on his face and looked at the three of them. There were three wooden boxes at his feet, all of which were opened, and the inside was golden.
"Haha, it's a total of 180,000 taels of silver." Yin Shidan kicked the box with his feet and said happily.
"180,000 taels?" Zhu Pingan was taken aback when he heard the words. Isn't the annual gift 130,000 taels? The first two years were 50,000 taels each, and last year it was 30,000 taels. The total is 130,000 taels. One hundred and eighty thousand taels.
When Yin Shidan said that he had brought back 180,000 taels of silver, Gao Gong and Chen Yiqin were also very surprised.
"Hahaha just now I went to the Ministry of Accounts for business, and I asked about Xia Suici by the way, just to try it out, I didn't expect the Ministry of Accounts to let me pick it up directly. It's rare for the Ministry of Accounts to speak, and I was afraid that the Ministry of Accounts would change its mind again, so I simply went through the formalities I just received it. I found out when I received it. It was an unexpected joy. I didn’t expect that in addition to the annual gift of 130,000 taels of silver, there are also festival gifts such as Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year’s Day, Lantern Festival, Zhongyuan, and Winter Solstice. Three years count It turned out to be as much as 50,000 taels. The annual gift plus the festival gift added a total of 180,000 taels of silver. The Ministry of Households readily reissued them together. I packed three boxes and after receiving them, the Ministry of Households saw that I was alone. , and even specially sent someone to deliver it for me. Hehe, let me tell you, the gift is really worth it, and you guys have not seen the attitude of the Ministry of Accounts. Compared with before, it is really a heaven and a world." Yin Shidan laughed He said, and when it came to getting up, he stretched out his hand without gesticulating.
Value!
The value to send surely!
I thought it would be 130,000 taels of silver, but I didn’t expect to understand that it was 180,000 taels of silver, a whole 50,000 taels of silver, what a great surprise.
Exchanged 1,500 taels of silver for 180,000 taels of silver. Could there be anything more valuable than this? !
Just when everyone was excited, they heard a rush of footsteps. Zhu Pingan turned his head to look and saw King Yu dashing from the hall with his sleeves flicked with excitement on his face.
Those who didn’t know thought that King Yu burned his **** on fire.
"I have met His Royal Highness King Yu."
"Meet Your Highness."
Everyone saluted King Yu one after another.
"Exemption, exemption, quick exemption, Master Yin, Sui Suici, have you brought it back?!" Yu Wang was anxious to know the result, and waved his hands vigorously to let everyone exempt, and then looked excited and earnest Looking at Yin Shidan, he panted and asked.
"Return to Your Highness, I brought you back." Yin Shidan nodded vigorously.
"Good!" Yu Wang was overjoyed.
"Your Highness, this time I got back a full 180,000 taels of silver!" Yin Shidan added.
"What? One hundred and eighty thousand taels?!" King Yu was overjoyed.
So, Yin Shidan explained to King Yu again what he had just said to Zhu Pingan, and King Yu was overjoyed after hearing it.
"Good! Good! Good! Now Gu finally doesn't have to be hindered by these copper-smelling things anymore!" King Yu said three good words excitedly, then gritted his teeth, and said bitterly. Don't panic.
At dusk, when the sun was setting, Zhu Pingan returned to the Linhuaihou Mansion with a bright face, carrying two fifty taels of silver bills and five taels of broken silver in his arms. One silver note of fifty taels was the money that Zhu Ping'an lent to King Yu in the morning, and the other silver note of fifty taels was the reward for meritorious deeds of King Yu (Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Yin Shidan and others also had the same amount. unequal rewards), and the remaining five taels of silver are redistributed benefits to everyone in the palace unified by King Yu.
Of course, the reward is not important, what is important is that after this incident, Zhu Pingan firmly and clearly felt that his position in King Yu's heart has reached a new height.
So, very good!
