Chapter 891 The Last Silver
Zhulan didn't plan to go to the wedding banquet of Mrs. Liu's family. Her seniority is there, so the most suitable one is Mrs. Li. Zhulan handed the post to Mrs. Li, "After three days, you can bring a gift."
It was the first time for Mrs. Li to attend the wedding banquet alone. Even if it was the in-laws who had been engaged, she was still a little nervous. Although the Liu family had no relatives in the capital, she knew a lot of officials, and there must have been many family members at the wedding banquet. Embarrassed, "Mother, shall I go by myself?"
Zhulan understood Li's concerns and thought for a while, "You take Yulu with you."
Li still hopes to go with her mother-in-law, but unfortunately, her mother-in-law won't go, even if there is a daughter to follow, "Then I will take Yulu."
Zhulan hummed, "Mr. Song has prepared a gift, you can take it back later."
Li pinched the post, "Okay."
In the Ministry of Housing, Xiao Qing asked Zhou Shuren, "You really have nothing to do? If you can't do anything, I will ask Qiu Yan to come back."
Zhou Shuren thought about the gift that Qiu Yan brought him from JAC. Qiu Yan is really generous, and he still doesn't want to let Mr. Qiu come to the tank. Especially when Qiu Yan came back this time, he found that Qiu Yan's hairline was further back." The next official came up with an imperfect plan last night, and originally wanted to improve the plan for the adults."
Xiao Qing waved, "Then go and write."
It's not a long time before the New Year. He wants to do his errands perfectly, and then celebrate the New Year comfortably. He doesn't want to stop for a year.
Zhou Shuren withdrew. He originally wanted to delay it for a day, but now he has no choice. Zhou Shuren didn't use it for an hour, so he wrote the plan, checked it twice, and confirmed that there was no problem before giving it to Master Xiao.
After Xiao Qing saw the plan, his first reaction was that Zhou Shuren was indeed a genius, and he could come up with this method, "Good way."
Zhou Shuren said: "As long as the emperor agrees, the Ministry of Household can estimate the price of antique calligraphy and painting."
Xiao Qing did not delay, "I will enter the palace now."
Zhou Shuren didn't plan to follow him. He was thinking about black box operations. Master Shang Shu would not do it himself. The method he came up with must be done by him. Then he would talk to the Ministry of Engineering and make a batch of boxes. He kept a few. Password or something.
In the palace, the emperor read the plan presented by Xiao Qing and said one word, "Wonderful."
Xiao Qing replied: "This is a lot of gambling, but it can arouse curiosity. I think the capital can handle half of the antique calligraphy and painting."
The emperor laughed and said, "Zhou Shuren's brain is full of life, this method is good, you can do it in the Ministry of Household."
Xiao Qing, "That minister will retire, there are still many tedious things to prepare."
The emperor waited for Xiao Qing to leave and played with the jade pendant on his waist. This method gave him a lot of inspiration.
In the Ministry of Household, Xiao Qing called Zhou Shuren when he came back, "I'll leave it to you to do it. It must be done beautifully, and you can say whatever you need."
Zhou Shuren figured out the paper for the Ministry of Industry's application for silver, "Xiaoguan needs a lot of boxes. Do you think the paper from the Ministry of Industry has been approved?"
Xiao Qing was in a good mood, "Bring it here, I'll stamp it."
Zhou Shuren smiled and handed the book, "I'll go to the Ministry of Works as soon as I'm down."
"good."
Zhou Shuren returned to the room and explained to Zhang Jinghong, "In a while, you can bring a few people to estimate the silver coins at the market price of antique calligraphy and paintings. I need the total number of silver taels, as well as the total number of antique calligraphy and paintings."
It was the first time that Zhang Jinghong took up an errand, and he knew it was important by looking at Lord Zhou's expression, "The lower officials must make clear statistics."
Zhou Shuren is relieved to Zhang Jinghong, this is a careful person, "Well."
In the Ministry of Industry, Zhou Shuren's sudden arrival was greeted by Master Fang, "Master Zhou, what wind is blowing you here?"
Zhou Shuren shook the book in his hand and the box containing the banknotes, "What about Mr. Fang?"
Fang Shilang was surprised that the Ministry of Industry had to send a certificate several times a month. It would be good to have it approved once. It has already been approved once this month. Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Household approved another certificate, which was sent by Mr. Zhou himself. , "Master Zhou, please."
There must be something that needs the Ministry of Industry.
Zhou Shuren has already handed over the book and the box containing the banknotes to Mr. Fang. Today, the Minister of Work is not here, Zhou Shuren just needs to talk to Mr. Fang, and he doesn't go around the corner, "This is the situation, the Ministry of Household needs some boxes, I remember the Ministry of Work. I have piled up some wood, so I want to ask the Ministry of Work to make some boxes, the Ministry of Work will make up for the wood consumed by the Ministry of Work, and then the Ministry of Work will only need to report the amount of money to make up for it.”
Mr. Fang looked at Zhou Shuren with puzzled eyes. Zhou Shuren's words were too suggestive, and he asked tentatively, "This batch of wood is not cheap."
Zhou Shuren didn't care. The current Ministry of Household has a lot of money. This time, it has been run beautifully and it has worked well. The money to supply the Ministry of Works can come out.
He gave the Ministry of Work some leniency, which was also because the Ministry of Work was too hard.
Mr. Fang didn't get a reply, but when he saw Mr. Zhou's smile, he knew it, and he was very enthusiastic, "When will the Ministry of Housing want it?"
"The sooner the better, you also know that the New Year is coming, and you all want to have a stable year."
Master Fang said he knew, "I will do it as soon as possible."
Zhou Shuren said again: "The specific size, I will send it to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow morning."
"good."
In the evening, Zhou Shuren was very happy, and Chang Lian asked, "Dad, what's the good thing today?"
Zhou Shuren did not hide it, and told the method.
Chang Lian didn't have much interest, and Sanfang was not going to buy antique calligraphy and paintings. The Ning family gave him some, and his money was to buy property.
Changzhi has a lot of heart, but his thoughts about spending the lady's money are gone. He didn't think too much before, but now he thinks more, and his face is not so thick. Now he only spends monthly money.
Zhou Shuren thought that the two boys would want to participate, but as a result, the two sons sighed and continued to eat without asking. Although the black box operation was not allowed to bring their sons, he still asked curiously, "Are you really not interested?"
Chang Lian shook his head, "My son is optimistic about a few pieces of land."
Changzhi, "My son doesn't have that much money."
Zhou Shuren looked at the second child and the eldest one How about the two of you? "
The boss was tangled, the money in the big room was not much, and Ming Teng spent a fortune on the engagement, although the autumn harvest made a lot of money, but then added some dowry to the daughter, "The money in my son's hand has almost been spent. "
Changli has a lot of money, he has a big family and a lot of income. There is really no antique calligraphy and painting in the second room. "My son wants to try it."
Unlike his eldest and younger brothers, he is restless in his bones.
After the meal, Zhou Shuren went back to the house and chatted with his wife, "I just found out that a few sons have a lot of money in old hands."
Zhu Lan, "The boss is honest, and he is not particularly daring. The wealth of the big house is slow to be praised, and most of it is the dowry of the Li family. The second child is brave and has the most smooth mind. I also know that the third child's main focus is on his career, and he will buy property if he has money, but he doesn't have much money in his hand, and the fourth child is still in Huayueyin."
Zhou Shuren touched his chin, "Let Chang Li spend a few years overseas, this kid has the ability to take root overseas and do well."
