Number of romantic figures

Chapter 1472 Xin Zijuan's Subtle Thoughts
Zhongshun Wangfu.

"So, it's okay if you don't show up alone?" King Zhongshun said with a smile on his face, stroking his beard quite proudly.

"Hehe, my lord, you are the leader of our royal family in Beijing, and I will also invite the eldest princess, but your weight and significance are very different. If you come forward, the top figures of various business gangs will also be invited." You have to come here to save some face. You also know the purpose of this sale. The household department is empty, the cabinet is anxious, and the emperor is worried. We, the courtiers, naturally have to share your worries. This is the best I can think of There is a way..."

Feng Ziying poured chicken soup for King Zhongshun with a smile. He also knew that it was impossible to fool an old fox like King Zhongshun with empty words, but these words were not empty words, but the truth. King Zhongshun knew it too.

"Ziying, you have worked so hard and worked hard." King Zhongshun sighed, "The imperial court has spent too much in the past two years, and it is not good. Knowing what Wang Ziteng and Yang He are doing, a group of bandits and rebels can't be defeated. Wang Ziteng claims to be a veteran general. Didn't Yang He perform well in Ningxia's suppression of the rebellion? How can he be personally in command? Is this the case? The Ministry of Household Affairs said that two million taels of silver were spent before and after the Southwest War, and there is no end in sight. No wonder Huang Ruliang is anxious like an ant on a hot pot..."

Feng Ziying could only sigh along with her.

"And what's going on with these four towns in the northwest? Why can't Chen Jingxuan even handle this matter? He even handed in his resignation letter, and the emperor was very angry. He didn't even want to give him a symbolic retention, but he couldn't find it for a while. Appropriate, it will take some time for your father to come back, so there is no approval,..."

Feng Ziying was taken aback, it was decided so soon?

"My lord, are you sure my father is going to be the governor of the three sides? What about Liaodong?" Feng Ziying asked.

"I heard that the imperial court agreed with your father's suggestion. For the time being, Cao Wenzhao will act as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, and the post of governor will be retained. Well, probably let your father also serve as the governor of the three sides. This is the first time in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Across the east and west and concurrently serving as the governor of the two places,..."

King Zhongshun also heard that there were fierce quarrels within the court, but it is not appropriate for Cao Wenzhao or You Shigong to act as governor of Jiliao. Commanding the army on Ji Liao's side is just a false name, and it will be fine to let Feng Tang come back after the three sides calm down.

"It's not necessary, is it? My father went to the three sides, so Governor Ji Liao should be dismissed, even if it is temporarily suspended by a servant of the Ministry of War..." Feng Ziyang didn't think so.

"The Minister of the Ministry of War hangs on not to take up the post. It can't be justified. After he goes, he is not familiar with the situation and the command is incompetent. Isn't that self-destructive reputation? So it's better to let your father hang on, whether it's Cao Wenzhao or You Shigong. He is a veteran general who is used to fighting, so it is not a big problem." King Zhongshun is also very familiar with these situations.

"I hope my father can appease the four towns in the northwest within a year..." Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, King Zhongshun laughed, "So Huang Ruliang also put this burden on your shoulders? You Part of the money recovered from the sale must be handed over to your father to take to the northwest. Otherwise, no matter how powerful your father is, it would be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Now that you know the situation, you will naturally go all out for this money. gone."

Of course Feng Ziying knew about this. The officials of the imperial court are very familiar with using these methods, and they can skillfully mobilize your enthusiasm.

"My lord, it's not right for you to say that. I'm an official of the imperial court. How can I not distinguish between public and private? No matter who goes to the northwest, whether they need money or not, I have to do my best to complete the tasks of the household department. It's just that my father is not old enough. When I was young, I went from Datong to Yulin, from Yulin to Liaodong, and now I have to travel thousands of miles from Liaodong to the northwest, and my son really can't bear to see him wandering." Feng Ziying sighed.

King Zhongshun's face was also serious, and he nodded: "The Feng family went to great lengths for the country and served the country loyally. The emperor also knew about it. He went to the palace alone two days ago, and the emperor's brother was also talking about this matter, and he couldn't stop sighing. You two Uncle died in battle and died of illness in the frontier fortress, and now your father is running around fighting fires, the Great Zhou Dynasty owes you the Feng family,..."

"My lord, don't say that. The emperor and the court treat our Feng family well. Hulunhou, Uncle Yunchuan, plus my father's general Shenwu, a family of three nobles, what more? If you want to ask the emperor for anything , I am a civil servant, doesn't it seem that our Feng family is too dissatisfied?"

Zhongshun Wang Weiyi pondered, "Ziying, you are a civil servant, and your father is already the pinnacle of the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is impossible for the court to reward you two any more, but not rewarding you for meritorious service is against the court regulations. Breaking the rules is not acceptable, other people will complain, if it is your heir, hehe, Gu does not mean that your heir cannot study well, but your wives and concubines are not too few, and you are the third wife, except for the eldest son who can inherit Apart from your third-bedroom title, if the other bastards are what you like, you might as well ask the court for one or two in the future, and you can record this here now, and you might as well mention it to the emperor if you have a chance,..."

Feng Ziying blinked, "Thank you, my lord, for reminding me, but how can a courtier take the initiative to bring this matter up to the emperor?"

King Zhongshun understood, "Understood, I will find an opportunity to mention it to the emperor. If the emperor takes the initiative to mention it to you one day, you can speak freely without restraint."

"Thank you, my lord, for your reminder. Not to mention, Ziying really has some personal matters and wants to take this opportunity to ask the emperor." Feng Ziying smiled.

"Oh?" Feng Ziying's tone didn't sound like he was begging for false titles for his heirs. When the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty made great achievements and it was not appropriate to award them, they could give the officials' descendants a favor to dismiss them as officials, but Feng Ziying only has one daughter, and there are no other wives and concubines, so what else can she want?
"The lord will understand when the time comes." Feng Ziying pretended to be a little shy and said: "It's hard to pay for pampering concubines."

King Zhongshun suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing, "Ziying, you are going to set a precedent for the Zhou Dynasty. The imperial order can only be given to Lingtang, but Lingtang has already been there. There is Xue Shi, the second wife, and there will be one after three years of marriage, do you want to ask for an imperial order for your concubine? This is creating a problem for the Ministry of Rites."

"It's not like this dynasty hasn't happened before..." Feng Ziying rubbed her face, looking a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, that's different. At that time, Yu Qingdong was forced by the situation. He didn't ask for orders. How could he block the mouth of the world, and how could he let the court and the emperor have a step down? No reward for meritorious deeds, it's a big deal for everyone." What a disaster." King Zhongshun is the prince of the royal family, and he is talking about his ancestors, so he is not afraid to speak, and other people really dare not say that.

"I'm also forced by the situation." Feng Ziying shrugged, "My lord, you know me. I'm not afraid of anything, except for women in front of me..."

King Zhongshun laughed again. Everyone in the capital city knew that Feng Ziying was a flirtatious man, and he had a lot of experience with beauties. Today, he was able to ask for an imperial order for a concubine, even at the expense of his father's meritorious service. , this is too exaggerated.

"Ziying, are you not afraid that your father will come back and hear that he knows how to practice family law?" King Zhongshun had a smirk on his face.

"My lord, as you said, meritorious service is hard to be rewarded. My father is the ultimate among military generals. In the future, I will be satisfied if I can retire from an official position like Li Chengliang. What else do you want? Do you still want to be a minister of the Ministry of War? My father But I can’t be a civil servant.” Feng Ziying smiled faintly, “Outsiders are nothing more than cursing my father and son for being ridiculous.”

"If you want to say that, Ziying, how many aunts do you have?" King Zhongshun knew the situation of Feng's family very well, reminded.

Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "My lord reminded me, it seems that I have to earn my own life to spoil my concubine."

King Zhongshun laughed again. This Feng Keng is really interesting. Everyone is desperately earning credit for promotion, but he is good. He has made meritorious service but spends his days thinking about seeking "welfare" for his wife and concubine. It is very interesting, but this Isn't that just what the emperor needs?
He's only 20 years old and he's at the fourth rank. Could it be that if he's less than 30 years old, let him join the cabinet to pay respects?

It is impossible to not reward high meritorious deeds, but how can you be promoted at such a young age?

"Okay, let's not gossip, let's get down to business, you said this sale will be a great benefit to Haitong Yinzhuang, what do you say?" King Zhongshun was most interested in this.

He is the largest single shareholder of Haitong Yinzhuang, and many royal family members only bought shares in Haitong Yinzhuang after seeing his guarantee. Now Haitong Yinzhuang is developing rapidly and is gaining momentum day by day. Branches in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Hanyang, Linqing, Xi'an, and Taiyuan were established one after another, and their businesses spread across the north and south, which also won him unanimous praise from the royal family. What he cares about most now is Haitong Yinzhuang, which is also the most important thing in his life. A wise decision.

King Zhongshun also knew that the current situation was not good, the court was in a difficult situation, and in the future he would inevitably have to borrow money from Haitong Yinzhuang.

This is a good thing. Borrowing money requires interest. The imperial court has the Ministry of Households’ summer and autumn taxes and industrial and commercial taxes, the Ministry of Industry has the Jieshen Treasury, and the Ministry of Commerce has the Department of Shipping. The source of income is relatively reliable, just lending money .

What is needed now is to further enhance the reputation of Haitong Yinzhuang, so that more merchants and rich people will recognize it and willingly put money in. As Feng Ziying said, the circulation of north and south, and communication between east and west can truly make Haitong Yinzhuang a big The Tian Zihao of the Zhou Dynasty.

At present, this sale, Feng Ziying said that it is great news, and it can make a good show.

　Brothers, can you give me another three or five monthly tickets?Lao Rui worked very hard!
