dream of red mansion
Page 587
Originally, he would not pay attention to these nonsense things, anyway, what other people do has nothing to do with him.However, now he unconsciously regards himself as Qin Zhong's brother-in-law. Isn't it normal for a brother-in-law to take care of his brother-in-law?
Lai Sheng didn't care at all when he was scolded, but was a little happy instead.In the past, Jia Qing never scolded him, and he always ordered whatever he had. He only saw Jia Qing scolding Li Yan and Wang Shun like this...
Thinking of this in his heart, Lai Sheng bowed and was about to leave when he heard Jia Qing say: "Come back...is there any major event in court recently?"
Jia Qing didn't go out much during this time, and he was alienated from the government, so he asked this question.Although Lai Sheng did not participate in politics, as the head of the Ningguo Mansion, he had contacts with the elites in Beijing and China. If there was any news from the imperial court, he would know about it.
Sure enough, Lai Sheng replied immediately: "There is a big event, He Shanbao returned from illness and returned to the cabinet..."
"I know about this, what else?" He Shanbao went out of the mountain again after being ill for more than two months.
Maybe he wanted to understand that even if he used this to escape from the emperor, he would not let him go, and maybe he was going to smash the pot...
"Also, what's more, the second master of the West Mansion was ordered to oversee the construction of the Princess Mansion for Princess Xingyue..."
"Supervise the construction of the princess mansion? When did this happen?"
Jia Qing really didn't know about this.
"I don't know when exactly what happened, I also heard from the people in the mansion over there." Lai Sheng was also a little surprised that Jia Qing hadn't heard of it.
"ok, I get it."
Jia Qing nodded and let Lai Sheng go down.
Jia Zheng is Yuan Chun's biological father, and promotion is normal.It's just that he didn't expect that Emperor Zhengqing would give him such an errand as a springboard.It seems that he really wants to reuse Jia Zheng.
Just, I hope he won't be disappointed...
Also, Princess Xingyue, that little girl, is going to open a house and build a tooth. When she thinks that the two beatings she has suffered in her life are at the hands of that unruly girl, Jia Qing hates her teeth so much that she vows to find her. A chance to get it back.However, last time outside the Daming Palace, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but she still wanted to help him...
In view of this, Jia Qing felt that he could not go too far.
Forget it, at worst, the next time you catch her, you can just spank her butt twice. It's a good deal for her. Who told him to be so soft-hearted.
Thinking of this, Jia Qing planned a way to get back the place...
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"Hey, 80 taels... the emperor is really rich!"
Jia Qing got into the carriage and said in his mouth.Pei Feng, who was also waiting in the carriage, laughed and said, "Look at what the second master said, the emperor must be rich!"
Jia Qing glanced at her and said, "You know what a fart."
"You!!" Peifeng was ashamed and angry, and put down her hand that was about to peel the fruit, and threw herself on Jia Qing, but was subdued by two or three hits.
Pinched the red-faced Peifeng under her ribs, seeing that she didn't dare to "make mistakes" again, she stopped "punishing" her hands, leaned quietly on the soft chair, and followed the swaying body, taking a nap to rest her mind .
Jia Qing went to Xuanzhen Temple today to invite Jia Jing back to his residence, and on the way back, he suddenly remembered what Lai Sheng said about Jia Zheng's new assignment.With a trace of worry about Jia Zheng in his heart, Jia Qing went to the "construction site" that Jia Zheng was in charge of under the guidance of the steward.
Originally, I just wanted to take a casual look, check for Jia Zheng, and at the same time see what the scale of this palace with the most golden branches and jade leaves would be. Unexpectedly, I really met Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng was also a little apprehensive about his errand, seeing Jia Qing coming, he naturally led him to visit, and also asked Jia Qing for his views and suggestions.
Although Jia Qing knew that the current Emperor and the Supreme Emperor doted on Princess Xingyue, and expected that the Princess Mansion built for her would not be shabby, but he did not expect it to be so extravagant.
Among other things, after all, the current Princess Mansion is just a piece of land, and nothing can be seen.However, just knowing the budget of this project from Jia Zheng made Jia Qing silent.
80 taels of silver! !
What does 80 taels of silver represent?Let's put it this way, even in the capital, 800 taels of silver is enough to buy a nice courtyard, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a mansion. 80 taels!There are thousands of houses like this connected together... Although the accounts cannot be calculated in this way, the princess mansion pays more attention to wealth and luxury, but it can be seen.
Moreover, the money came from the royal family, so Jia Qing couldn't help feeling that the emperor was rich.
But think about it, Great Chu has been peaceful for decades, especially in these years without major natural disasters and man-made disasters, it can be called Guotai Minan.
In this way, the imperial court is naturally rich...
Now that the imperial court is rich, will the emperor's internal funds still be short of money?
Of course the answer is no!
The imperial court is no more than a family.If a family gets rich, most of the wealth will be accumulated for future generations.
However, if there is money in the treasury, it will be very different!
With money in the national treasury, how many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty can remain indifferent?Then, of course, there are all kinds of exaggerated budgets, and the introduction of various national plans...
Everyone is doing errands "well", and the emperor can't say anything, but he is always upset. It doesn't make sense for you bastards to eat meat and tell me to drink soup, right?
Therefore, with the support of everyone, batches of larger amounts of silver were allocated to the royal treasury in various unstoppable names.
In this way, you can feel at ease and I am also happy, right?
This is why great events inevitably breed great corruption.Unless the emperor of dictatorship can be as diligent and thrifty as Emperor Wendi Jingdi in the early Han Dynasty, and restrain all officials, he can keep the treasury full.
But it is obvious that it is impossible for the current royal family to be thrifty.Not to mention anything else, the Supreme Emperor ruled the country for decades, making the whole world surrender, the wealth and prosperity of the people, and in his later years, who would dare to let his old man be wronged?
Without further ado, it is an exaggeration to say that no matter how rich the internal funds are today, it is an exaggeration to allocate a huge sum of 80 taels to build a princess mansion for Princess Xingyue!
You know, Princess Xingyue's marriage is not yet decided. If the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor have not confirmed that they will recruit a concubine for her in the future, then it means that this expensive princess mansion is only for Princess Xingyue before she gets married. Just play for two or three years.
Because in two or three years, Princess Xingyue will almost reach the age of marriage.
Even Jia Qing was thinking, I don't know what the Supreme Emperor thinks, the good-looking princess doesn't live in the palace, why do you have to create a princess mansion outside?There is no point in wasting people and money...
Is it really too much money and can't find a place to spend it?
Moreover, this newly built princess mansion is not far from Jia's house.On the east side of Jia's Mansion, there is only one street across...
Of course, since the area where Jia's Mansion is located is originally a place where princes and nobles gather, it is not surprising that the Princess Mansion is located here.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and after entering Ningrong Street, the sound of laughter and excitement became more and more intense.
Teahouses and restaurants on both sides kept laughing and cursing, street vendors were also shouting hard, and some children held hands and sang some simple and childlike songs.
At the end is a prosperous scene.
"It's so strange, it's so strange, no one is as rich as anyone..."
In front of a teahouse, four or five children happily sang songs they had heard somewhere, and each of them worked so hard that their little faces became red from singing without stopping. The only thing they sang was:
strange strange really strange
Who is rich and noble
The founding of the country ranks among the twelfth most expensive
