Chapter 158 New relatives
But at this time, Fang Congzhe and Wang Yingjiao had already replied: "My emperor is wise!"
Fang Congzhe naturally obeyed because he was only the emperor's order.
Wang Yingjiao hoped that the emperor would not give land to his relatives to avoid affecting the court's tax and grain income, so he said that he became wise and wise.
Seeing this, Sun Ruyou had to reply: "Abide by the order!"
Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "The silver gift does not have to be distributed to them at one time. The Ministry of Revenue will keep it first, so as not to stolen the money they deposit so much money they have to save. They told them that when they need silver coins, they can use it with imperial edict until the 50,000 taels are taken, but the purpose must be indicated."
There is no official bank in the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Youxiao can only temporarily let the Ministry of Revenue serve as some bank functions.
Zhu Youxiao did not allow his relatives to take away the reward silver at one time, which was also to facilitate control of these relatives and prevent them from using large sums of money to lend usury and merging land on a large scale.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao asked them to use the silver rewards as much as they rewards, and they had to indicate the purpose. Once the purpose was wrong, Zhu Youxiao could find any reason to freeze the silver rewards.
In Zhu Youxiao's opinion, even if his father-in-law is as stingy as Zhou Kui, the father-in-law of Chongzhen in history, he really needs to donate money from his relatives, and he doesn't have to look at his expression, just embezzle his reward silver first.
...
"Give 50,000 taels of silver! But it cannot be used at one time. Every time you use it, you must indicate the purpose, that is, if you want to spend this money, the emperor must know how you spent it."
After receiving the reward order, Zhang Guoji talked to the other two father-in-law Wang Xue and Duan Huangyi, who was a student.
After hearing this, Wang Xue couldn't help but say "Ah" and then said disappointedly: "I thought I could get thousands of acres of land, but I didn't expect it to be silver, but the money was nothing. Anyway, I also wanted to buy a woman to warm the bed by buying a woman by buying a land for money. You don't know that the mother of Liang Concubine left early. In recent years, I was afraid that Liang Concubine would be wronged, so I didn't marry another wife. Others also disliked me for having a daughter. But now that my daughter has become a concubine, I have become a great success. I can marry a woman to the door. But who would have thought that if the emperor wanted to do this, wouldn't I buy a woman to enter the house? Then the emperor would know? As soon as the emperor knew, Liang Concubine would know, wouldn't she blame me, the father?"
"Yes, where is the money placed, it's not the one I'm worried about now whether the emperor will let us take it."
Duan Huangyi started talking.
"This is not true. Jun Wu is joking. How can this imperial edict tell lies? But we can try it now."
Zhang Guoji started to say with a smile.
"Didn't Wang Guohou say he wants to buy a woman? Just go and try it?"
Duan Huangyi urged Wang Xuelai.
Wang Xueze shook his head: "Forget it, I still won't go and take it anymore. I'm mainly afraid that Liang Fei will blame me."
Seeing this, Zhang Guoji said, "Then I'll go and get it. I'll go and buy some paper and pen."
So, Wang Xue and Duan Huangyi followed Zhang Guoji to the Ministry of Revenue.
A minister from the Ministry of Revenue met these three people, and after learning that Zhang Guomin had to take ten taels of silver coins, he said, "Bestie, please wait."
So, the man-wai-lang took ten taels of silver coins and asked Zhang Guoji to register the purpose and sign and press his handprint. He handed the silver coins to Zhang Guoji and reminded him: "I believe the father-in-law also knew that the silver coins issued by the imperial court now have statues of Taizu, so they cannot be damaged or destroyed and recast, but they can be traded."
"Thank you for the reminder."
Zhang Guoji nodded, then took the silver, and asked Wang Xue and Duan Huangyi: "Do you two want to get the silver?"
Duan Huangyi said excitedly to Wang Xue at this time: "Can you really take it out?"
Wang Xue also nodded and said, "Yes! It's true."
Zhang Guoji had to ask again: "Do you two want to get the silver? I've come to the Ministry of Revenue, so I'll get some."
"No, no, how can this silver be spent indiscriminately? It's better to save it. It's safer to exist here than at home."
Duan Huangyi said something and waved his hand and left here.
Zhang Guoji then looked at Wang Xue: "Wang Guobain, what about you, aren't you going to buy a woman?"
"You are joking. Where do I need to buy women? I am used to it alone. Mr. Duan is right. This money cannot be spent indiscriminately."
Wang Xue was reluctant to take out any more money.
So the three of them returned to their respective imperially-given official houses.
Zhang Guoji first returned to his imperial official house. Seeing that the servile servants sent by the inner court to help him cleaned him, he said to Rui Feng, the young supervisor who was responsible for cleaning him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
"Not hard! Daughter-in-law, do you see if there is anything you need to buy? I have someone help you purchase it?"
Rui Feng asked with a smile.
"No, no, just have a sleeping place."
Zhang Guoji said something.
On this side, as soon as Wang Xue came back, his son Wang Kun, who had arrived at home first, came over: "Dad, although this house is big, there is not much furniture, and it is not quite old. My son already knows that the emperor rewarded us with silver, but just asked us to pick it up. Look, do you want to pick up some, buy some furniture or something?"
Wang Xue directly gave his son: "What to buy? How can you spend money indiscriminately?"
Wang Xue said that, and sat down on a chair, but the chair collapsed and he fell to the ground.
Wang Kun hurriedly pulled Wang Xue: "I'll say, Dad, look at this chair, it's really unusable. This official house has probably been idle for too long and is so old that it's not good."
"No! You can get better by repairing. Your father is just a carpenter work, so how can you buy it outside?"
Wang Xue, wearing the fourth-rank civil servant uniform, said, and simply sat on the ground, turned over the collapsed chair, and said, "Go and bring the tools I brought to Beijing."
Duan Huangyi asked a young prisoner here: "Eunuch Yu, can this house be sold or can it be rented?"
As he said that, Duan Huangyi said, "I think it's not interesting to live in the capital in the future. It's not worth buying anything. Moreover, there are more than ten acres of land in the family that have not been cleaned up. This official house is also left here for hundreds of times, so it's better to turn it into silver."
"This is given by the Emperor, you cannot sell it!"
This Yu Shaojian replied.
"That's how it works!"
After hearing this, Duan Huangyi had to give up this idea and said, "Then he still has to go back, but this time he has to spend money again."
At this time.
A small official came and asked, "Is it the mansion of Master Duan of the country?"
"That's right, what's wrong?"
Duan Huangyi asked.
"We are ordered by the Grand Sima to pick up your three fathers-in-law to the Academy of Sciences. Didn't the emperor grant you three fathers-in-law to be officials of the Academy of Sciences? He said that you can go there to choose a few things, you can also choose to eat and live there, and the carriage is waiting outside. I wonder if you are willing to go there."
The little official replied.
"Food and accommodation? You mean, what kind of science college is making meals?"
Duan Huangyi grabbed the key part of the other party's words, touched his stomach that was screaming, and asked excitedly.
"Return to the country's father-in-law, yes, our Academy of Sciences has a place for the officials in the institute to serve as a meal."
The little official replied.
"Go! I'll go now! I'm just hungry. You said you can live there, right? I'll live there in the future. The emperor asked us to do whatever we want. Anyway, I'm still idle now."
Huang Yi hurriedly walked over this section.
