Chapter 646： gift list

Liu Dahei rushed to marry Jinhua into the house a few years ago, and the New Year's gift presented by Miao Village also arrived in the capital before the 30th year of the year.

When Qi Xiuyuan received the gift list, he finally understood why the officials of the Ministry of Rites looked constipated, because all the gifts from Miao Village were local products of southern Guizhou.

The souvenirs dedicated to the emperor are not ordinary souvenirs. For example, the Lipu taro that Yongzhou presents every year are all taro. Can it be the same as the taro eaten by farmers?

After steaming, it is only lightly dipped in a little sugar, which can be called a delicacy in the world. Every year, Yongzhou sends a batch of Lipu taro to Beijing. There are so many powerful people in Beijing, and Qin Xiang can receive this kind of food like the emperor at that time. Taro, which other officials wanted to eat, had to be rewarded by Emperor Jingyan.

It is a great blessing for local officials to own this kind of "local specialties", because as long as the tenure is not a big problem and the number of "local specialties" come to Beijing every year, then it is not a problem for them to get promoted and get rich.

But it was a nightmare for the local people.

If this thing is good, it will be worth it. If it is not good, in order to ensure the quality and output, officials will force the people to plant it, but the things they plant will be taken away at a low price and used as a tool for officials to get rich.

And the people did not grow food, and the income from planting "tributes" was far from enough to feed their families, so donating "local specialties" meant that the government began to rot.

Two days ago, I received a quick discount from Qiannan, saying that Qiannan Miao Village had donated a batch of local "local specialties". Even being able to form a group with Miao Village can make them offer something.

But at the same time, many people are also worried.

Daqi was just established, and it is said that before the time to receive these tributes, who knows if this will damage the livelihood of the people in southern Guizhou? However, Qiannan was under the jurisdiction of Qi Haoran, and no one dared to raise objections in court. Those with insight could only sigh, "Time is not waiting for me," and then became anxious, hoping that other places would not follow suit.

And some people are trying to make a big fight, thinking that there are "local products" that can make the emperor happy.

Qi Xiuyuan knew that his younger brother was not the one who used his mind in this regard. He suspected that Fan Zijin was in charge, but he felt that Zijin was smart and would not make such a mistake.

Today, I received a gift list from Qiannan and a letter from my brother. Qi Xiuyuan only knew that it was his brother and sister.

The "local specialties" sent by    are real local specialties. There are not too many things that can be bought for a few pennies on Qiannan Street.

Qi Xiuyuan let out a happy laugh, and said loudly: "This special product is very suitable for me."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites pouted, and the things were sent by King Rongjun, even if it is a piece of shit, you are afraid that you will agree.

Qi Xiuyuan waved the officials of the Ministry of Rites away, and had Rong Xuan and Yan Du be called.

Not long after Qi Xiuyuan ascended the throne, he rehabilitated the former Taifu Yan, and removed the infamy hanging on him, saying that when he was in danger, he dared to serve the country and turned himself into injustice. ".

The ancients and the people of the time believed that Wen was the most beautiful posthumous posthumous title, which could not be added. Wen was the knowledge of morality, and it was Jinggong’s position. It was the pinnacle of literati morality. Don't get along with people easily.

In the two hundred and thirty-eight years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have been countless civil servants and military generals, and only five of them can get the posthumous title of "Wenzheng". Three of them are still appointed by Sejong, and they are regarded as the founding ministers, and the latter two are also ministers who can rule the world. .

And Taifu Yan, a minister of Dazhou, was appointed in Daqi, and he was the first minister of "Wenzheng" in Daqi. The ministers with the posthumous title of "Wenzheng" in the past dynasties were all admired and passed down to later generations, becoming a generation of famous officials.

And the emperor gave Mrs. Yan the posthumous title, which was considered to end the disputes between the literati and the common people against him, and it was considered that he approved the peace talks proposed by his previous dynasty.

After receiving the imperial decree, Yan Du came out of the palace for the first time, knelt at the door and cried bitterly.

This is also an excerpt from the famous "Father's Palace Gate to Repay Your Kindness" in later generations.

Qi Xiuyuan was at the time of hiring people, so it goes without saying that Yan Du and Yan Fu were talented and personal, because he was named Taifu Yan, and he was even more loyal to him. Although Rong Xuan was also capable, his prestige was not enough, and his actions were always restrained. Qi Xiuyuan simply Let Yan Du be the right minister and work with Rong Xuan.

Rongxuan admires the style of the Yan family, and Yan Du is also dying to Qi Xiuyuan, so the two have only been working together for more than half a month, and they are very happy together.

The two came together, and they didn't understand why the emperor was looking for them at this time.

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and handed the gift list from Qiannan to the two of them, and said with a smile, "How do the two Ai Qing think about this gift list?"

Yan Du was about to persuade Qi Xiuyuan to put an end to the "local specialties" style. He was stunned when he saw the items listed on the gift list, and asked, "Are the pork and preserved flavors used in this cured pork extremely precious?"

Qi Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Yan Qing, look at the price behind."

Yan Du was embarrassed when he saw the price of "twelve cents a pound" marked on the back, and he was speechless when he looked at the price of Yigancao on the back. I'm afraid that the courtiers will attack Miao Village and King Rongjun, after all, this gift..."

Rongxuan had already thought of Qi Xiuyuan's intentions. Seeing Qi Xiuyuan looking at him with a smile, he cupped his hands and said, "The emperor's benevolence is the blessing of the people."

Yan Du came back to his senses with a jolt, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "The emperor wants to take the opportunity to abolish the system of 'local specialties' and still cultivate the people?"

Qi Xiuyuan nodded slightly and sighed: "Not long ago, Yongzhou, Chaozhou, Fuzhou and other places all sent local specialties, because it is a custom, I didn't pay attention to it. If it wasn't for Qiannan to send these things this time, I would still think about it. At this time, I have also heard that the 'local specialties' dedicated to the palace are sometimes raised by the people of a county or even a prefecture. Not to mention that Daqi is recuperating now, it should not be like this even when it is prosperous. It's extravagant, this gift list from Qiannan is just right, it's better for the two Aiqings to go back and get a charter to abolish all these malpractices."

Rong Xuan and Yan Du looked at each other and responded in unison.

Qi Xiuyuan glanced at the gift list again, then tapped on the table, then picked up the letter and read it again, unable to help but burst into laughter.

He returned to the harem with the letter. The Kunning Palace was bustling with laughter. Qi Xiuyuan stopped the announcement from the chamberlain and walked in. He saw his son was running around in a blue Miao uniform, From time to time, "haha" punched twice, which made Li Jinghua laugh non-stop.

Qi Xiuyuan rarely saw his son so lively, so he asked with a smile, "Why are you so happy?"

Then everyone saw the emperor, and they all saluted. Qi Xiuyuan waved his hand, but Xiaobao ran over and hugged his father's leg.

"Oh? My father didn't see it clearly just now. You can call me again and let me see."

Qi Xiuyuan sat on the couch and looked at him with a smile.

Xiaobao started fighting with a "huh, huh, huh," and Qi Xiuyuan laughed when he saw his non-standard movements: "You, punching is definitely not as good as your brother, your uncle wrote that he can smash a fist with one punch now. A table."

Xiaobao opened his mouth wide.
