Chapter 440 Alleviation of Contradictions

After Zhu Yijun asked this question, Chen Jingbang came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Majesty, I bought some, but they were sold at a discount by the short-sighted woman at home!"

Zhu Yijun only smiled after hearing this, but didn't say anything else.

Then, Zhu Yijun asked again: "Among you, has anyone bought subscription tickets?"

At this time, Hai Rui came out and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I have not!"

Zhu Yijun couldn't help asking Hai Rui: "Why didn't you buy it?"

"The ministers saw that all the officials in power bought subscription tickets in order to make the world feel at ease. They thought that if there were too many ministers, there would be no more, and if there were fewer ministers, it would be fine. In addition, they couldn't bear to compete with the small people for the emperor's favor, so they didn't buy any more."

Hai Rui replied.

Zhu Yijun laughed again: "In terms of loving the people, Haiqing should be the best official in the world!"

Then, Zhu Yijun said: "But how can I let the first good official who loves the people not enjoy the emperor's grace, and pass the decree to allocate a subscription coupon of 500 taels of silver dollars from the internal funds to Haiqing, and also bestow a gold plaque of 'Blessing of the People'."

Hai Rui hurriedly thanked him.

Since this is an outflow of money, there is no need for him to refuse.

At this moment, Chen Jingbang looked at Hai Rui with a complicated expression, and thought, "Why didn't I think of answering like this? This Hai Rui is indeed more cunning than himself!"

For a moment, uncontrollable jealousy appeared in Chen Jingbang's eyes.

After Sanchao returned to the official residence, Chen Jingbang was still sullen and couldn't let go.

Although Chen Jingbang was in a depressed mood and gave his wife an unfavorable reputation, the fact that the mining profit distribution was too high-profile made many people realize that the imperial court was really serious about benefiting the people, and they began to look forward to the next subscription When are the coupons on sale?

Moreover, Zhu Yijun also specially instructed the official newspaper to increase the reporting on the deeds of ordinary people who gained huge profits from the subscription coupons, so as to convince more people that the imperial court raised funds not to squander the wealth of the people.

For this reason, Chen Jiuzhu from Fengyang was frantically reported by the official newspapers, how he achieved a monthly income of 1 taels of silver.

of course.

The monthly income of 1 taels of silver is part of literary exaggeration. After all, the return on mining profits cannot be so large in a short period of time. Optimistic direction estimates only.

But this is not important to the imperial court, they just want to attract the attention of the people of the world to mine profits, and then know that the subscription coupons can be held for huge profits.

The official cashing of mining dividends has indeed had an immediate effect on alleviating internal conflicts.

The most direct manifestation is that the emperor Zhu Yijun, who was in charge of the reform, and the ruling ministers were able to ease the conflicts between themselves and their relatives and friends after advocating the reform.

"Don't be too sad about my grandpa's old age. I have decreed that 5000 taels of silver will be allocated from internal funds as a sacrifice. With the virtue of my mother's filial piety, I will also give a subscription voucher worth 2000 taels of silver to replace the gift of the land."

It just so happened that not long after Wu Qingbo and Li Wei's sudden death happened, Zhu Yijun talked about his arrangement in front of Queen Li.

Zhu Yijun is so generous, although it is because Li Wenquan worked hard to build 560 seven closed platforms for Ming Dynasty, and it was proved that the quality was guaranteed during the period when the Tartars were in opposition to the new ceremony. On the other hand, he did not dare to mess around, and he didn't want to make Li Wenquan, a foreign relative who was so serious about building infrastructure for him, do so. But his doing so did make Empress Dowager Li feel better. Will you be unhappy?"

"This is my own flower, and it is also my own filial piety. There is no reason for foreign ministers to criticize it!"

"Mother, don't worry."

Zhu Yijun replied.

Empress Dowager Li nodded: "That's good. Your grandfather will be happy if he knows about it. Well, Jun'er, your brother's incident was his own fault. Now that I think about it, what Hai Rui said is right, indeed. Mine is not in it; so I won't mention it! It's just that your sister Ryan's marriage is coming soon, so don't wrong her, especially now that the inner court is not short of money."

"Don't worry, mother!"

"It just so happened that the first batch of subscription coupons was due to the fact that the people of the world didn't trust the imperial court to really benefit the people. In order to complete the fundraising as soon as possible, I had to ask the inner court to spend money to buy a lot more. Now there are still a lot left after the rewards are removed. It’s no problem to give some of it to Ryan, so that Ryan will be as prosperous as his husband’s family and the country in the future.”

Zhu Yijun replied.

Empress Dowager Li smiled because of this, and pulled Zhu Yijun to sit beside her: "I heard that the empress is happy again?"

Zhu Yijun nodded.

Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "Those who can satisfy you are indeed blessed by heaven. In this case, you will spend more time with her in the future. If you are in a good mood, it will be conducive to childbirth. Don't work too hard yourself. Let go if you can. Although your father didn't You have courage, but the best thing is that you are willing to let reliable ministers do it, including your imperial grandfather."

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Li laughed and said, "I seem to have overstepped again!"

"It's okay, the queen mother is just talking at home, and she didn't issue a serious order, or see the foreign ministers to pass the oral order."

Zhu Yijun replied.

Empress Dowager Li nodded, and said with a smile: "Since you said that, then may I say something more, Empress Mother?"

Zhu Yijun said: "Whatever the queen mother has to say, as long as it is not in front of foreign ministers, we can talk about everything between mother and son."

"What I want to say is that you can't only think about the grandfather of the Li family, but also the grandfather of the Chen family. According to the etiquette, that is your real grandfather!"

"What's more, thanks to your aunt, otherwise, I, a village woman, would lose a lot of virtue after your mother. What's more, when the late emperor was around, she was also in front of me, so that the late emperor didn't give me the title of concubine because I was a court lady. You should be the prince early."

Empress Dowager Li wiped away her tears as she spoke, as if she really appreciated and cooperated with Mrs. Chen.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "My son knows."

"Go, it's time for me to rest, it's getting late, go to your aunt's place to say hello earlier, then go back and rest earlier."

"it is good!"

……

It is no coincidence.

In the capital's official residence, Shen Shixing also called his family members over for the mining profit dividend, and first gave a stack of land deeds to his son-in-law Li Hong:

"Hong'er, look, what is this?"

Li Hong got up and took it with both hands, and then looked at Shen Shixing with a look of astonishment after a closer look: "When did Lord Yue Weng redeem all the ancestral land that my family sold?"

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Grandfather Ling is kind to the servant. The servant was originally born by a nun, so the Shen family didn't want to raise him, so he could only be adopted by his uncle's family since he was a child. But the servant's ability to study and return to the family depends on grandfather Ling Through the mediation and funding, the father established the relationship between the children and the family; and your family sold the land in the past because the servants helped Hai Rui to let the government and the gentry pay the grain in the south. You paid a large amount of silver and sold [-] acres of ancestral land. Now I use the subscription coupon to redeem it for you, which is not only a repayment of gratitude, but also an expression of apology; although you and the Li family are related by marriage in my Shen family, my servant is Daming first. Your courtiers, followed by your Yue Weng, so there are some things that you have to do."

Li Hong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the ground: "My son-in-law dare not complain, Mr. Yue Weng is a man who is loyal to the country, and it is my Li family's blessing that my Li family can marry the Shen family, not to mention that Ping'er has always been extremely filial to her son-in-law's parents." , and I are very gentle, so how dare the son-in-law complain?"

"Since that's the case, why don't you take Ping'er back and live a good life, and really have the heart for her to stay in her mother's house?"

Therefore, Shen Shixing asked with a smile.

Li Hong hurriedly said yes, stood up and walked in front of a young woman, cupped his hands and said: "Lady, I was wrong for my husband before, and I shouldn't blame Yue Weng and then blame you for being framed and cheating. Let's go back? "

This young woman named Ping'er nodded with tears in her eyes.

Shen Shixing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now I can rest assured about state affairs."
