Eunuch Liu shivered, the emperor was also very concerned about several princes, Eunuch Liu sighed, who made the princes of the same age, and there was only one throne, and he was not reconciled.
In the afternoon, Zhulan looked at the boxes in front of her. The boxes had already been opened, and they all had a mezzanine. She took out the silver ticket in the mezzanine. There was only one silver ticket in each box, with a face value of 5,000 taels. There were five boxes in total. , each of the five descendants of the Zhou family has it.
Several descendants of the Zhou family were terrified. They thought it was an ordinary tea box. If they hadn't smashed the box today, they wouldn't even know that there were silver notes in it.
Zhulan motioned for a few descendants to go back. She asked in vain. She didn't know any of them, so she might as well ask Mrs. Song, "What's going on?"
Mrs. Song said: "A scholar in Jiangnan sent it, and someone has been sent to check."
Zhulan holds the silver note in her hand. In fact, she is not afraid of a few offspring if they don't find it. She is very cautious. Every time a few offspring bring something back, she asks Shenxing to check it secretly. people.
In the evening, when Zhou Shuren came back, Zhulan said about the bank note, "Mr. Song went to check, that scholar is gone."
Zhou Shuren squinted his eyes, "I wanted to frame me this time, but I didn't get any handle on me. Now I'm making a handle!"
Zhulan also thought the same, "One has two, these are not enough to frame you, and they will continue. However, that was before I found out, and now I find that a few offspring lack training, and they can't act."
Zhou Shuren laughed, "Our children, they have no chance if they want to send them."
Zhulan also laughed. Several of her own children have developed a cautious temperament, and they will carefully check everything they bring back to the house.
Zhulan asked, "What are you going to do with the money?"
Zhou Shuren's eyes were very bright, "Give it to the emperor, and it will be handed over in the early morning."
If they gave it back, he dared to pay it. Of course, it would be better if the emperor rewarded him.
Several descendants of the Zhou clan were particularly uneasy. They had been praised a little in the past few days, but now they are all stupid.
Zhulan doesn't care about the descendants, it's okay to scare them, so as not to make the capital a beautiful place.
Early in the morning, Zhou Shuren came out and handed over the book in his arms, "I have something to announce."
The emperor looked at Zhou Shuren. He knew the movements of the Zhou family, but he didn't expect that Zhou Shuren would say it directly in the morning. This was really an accident. He took the fold and opened it. The first thing he saw was the folded silver bill. He picked up the silver bill. Five, put them aside and look at the book.
The ministers in the court were stunned when they saw the banknotes, and put the banknotes in the book?
Xiao Qing frequently looked sideways at Zhou Shuren, what's the situation?
Li Zhao almost choked, what did he see?
Even the old man Wang was stunned, and the hall was extraordinarily quiet for a while, very curious about what was written on the book.
Zhou Shuren's face is not red or out of breath, and all the words written on the book are flattering words. He wrote it with the spirit of writing essays for the college entrance examination. The emperor must see his loyalty and integrity!
The emperor's face was a little distorted. He felt that Zhou Shuren had made progress. The book collections in his collection were incomparable to this one. I didn't expect Zhou Shuren's mouth to be so sweet!
The emperor saw that everyone stretched their necks, and handed the book to the prince, "Look at it."
The crown prince took it over curiously. After reading it, he looked at Zhou Shuren with a complicated expression. I didn't expect that you are such a Master Zhou. It would be shameless to praise yourself without mentioning the words of praise for the father and the emperor. What a noble character, bah, He saw an old fox, a shameless old fox, and thin and thin!
Zhou Shuren's face didn't turn red, he was steady, because he knew that most of the books were approved by the prince, and the prince saw it was normal!
However, Zhou Shuren's complexion soon changed, and the emperor actually asked the prince to show it to the ministers in the court.
Zhou Shuren raised his head and looked at the emperor in disbelief, how could you treat the minister like this, very sad!
The emperor was holding the bank note, but he almost didn't tear the bank note, his eyes were hot, he looked away from Zhou Shuren, he only remembered the last sentence on the book, what was the loyal character of the minister, implying that some money would be rewarded.
After Xiao Qing read the book, he felt that he was really old, and he couldn't write such shameless words.
Zhou Shuren blushed and cursed in his heart. He really shouldn't think that the emperor is so virtuous and shameless. He can think of how he is recorded in the history books today, and the famous ministers who have been famous for the ages are completely gone.
Those who can read at least the second rank, although not all of them, there are quite a few who are above the second rank.
Zhezi returned to the emperor's hand, and the emperor coughed, "Master Zhou is indeed honest and worthy of learning from everyone."
Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart, if you didn't let the ministers read the book, he would still hear it, and now only hehe.
The emperor continued: "Two thousand five thousand taels, in view of Zhou Aiqing's noble character, silver."
Zhou Shuren moved his ears and looked at the emperor with hope.
The emperor is not ready to reward, this is not easy to open, if you do this in the future, you can imagine how many bribes have passed the bright road, "Zhou Aiqing sent a book the day before yesterday, and the book wrote disaster preparedness silver."
Zhou Shuren just didn't play, but he was still looking forward to it. After hearing this, he understood that he was completely out of play. He stepped forward and said, "I feel that the disaster situation is unpredictable, so I want to prepare money in advance, lest it really happens that there is no money available."
The emperor nodded, "I'm sure, 25,000 will be used as disaster preparation silver."
Zhou Shuren is happy in his heart. He knows that despite the abundance of money in the Ministry of Households, there are too many places in the country where money is used. If he is allowed to spend it, the Ministry of Households will not have enough money to spend. Now that he reserves the money in advance, he can also lose some hair. , lest when something really happens and there is no money, they all look at him.
Zhou Shuren is tired He is using his ability to gain a firm footing, but the pressure is also high, it's okay if nothing happens, if something happens, everyone expects him, he can get praise and rewards, if there is no way It's a pit. The higher you stand, the worse you fall. In order not to pit yourself to death, you must prevent everything in advance.
In ancient times, natural disasters were the worst, and he had to think ahead.
The ministers looked at Zhou Shuren even more differently. Zhou Shuren thought about it so much. There have always been natural disasters, and no one has mentioned the reserve silver.
The emperor is really satisfied with Zhou Shuren, and the prince's eyes are extraordinarily soft, and the faces of several princes are complicated, why can't they be attracted!
After going to court, Zhou Shuren held the silver in his hand, thinking in his ear what the emperor said when he passed by, what is it called the book will be written in his autobiography, his reputation, reputation!
Old Man Wang smiled and stroked his beard, patted Zhou Shuren on the shoulder, and said nothing.
Zhou Shuren, ""
Old man, listen to me, I'm not a sycophant!
