"It's too late! I'll treasure the other two, and I'll only reveal one tomorrow."

Jia Qiang calmed down and said softly.

Qi Yun laughed and said, "I knew that you would do this."

Jia Qiang sneered and said, "Then guess again, which treasure will I show up tomorrow?"

Qi Yun took out the folding fan that he carried with him, and he didn't think it was too cold in the spring. After opening it and shaking it a few times, he said, "It must be the incense burner!"

Hearing this, Jia Qiang twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Why?"

Qi Yun said with a smile: "The lamp is best seen at night, and it is not easy to display it tomorrow. The bead... the bead is so miraculous, it is a Taoist thing. Now the Supreme Emperor is the most faithful. If the bead is exposed, the Jia family will be afraid." You can't keep it either."

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Although the Supreme Emperor believes in it, the Emperor believes in Sakyamuni."

Qi Yun shook his head and said: "To be disrespectful, the emperor believes in the Buddha in his heart, not in the Buddha of the Western Paradise. The Buddha in his heart sits on the lotus platform is the emperor, and the Buddha of the Western Paradise sits on the lotus platform. Tathagata .So, the emperor may not take this seriously."

Jia Qiang nodded, and stopped talking about this matter, and asked: "Is there any more of the Jiangnan melons, fruits and freshwater fish that you transported earlier? If you want to share half the boat with me..."

With Qi Yun's self-cultivation, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Liangchen, how dare you be more shameless? There is only one boat in total, and you have already divided half of it, so why ask for it?"

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "There are many people in the family, so eat faster. That's it. I'll send someone to your house later."

Qi Yun reminded: "Even if there is one more boat, it will not be enough for your banquet tomorrow."

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Tomorrow is mainly the back house. There are a bunch of bad old men in front. Who will eat those? Naturally eat what men should eat!"

Qi Yun heard the words and said strangely: "You shouldn't..."

……

The back house of Ning Mansion, Xichun Courtyard.

Even Sister Feng couldn't sit still and was sent over by Mother Jia. She was arguing with Youshi and discussing how to organize the banquet tomorrow.

Seeing Liu Daniu come in, after knowing her identity, even Sister Feng restrained her temperament of looking down on the poor.

After talking and joking around, Liu Daniu said to Daiyu: "Qiang'er said, you just have to prepare the banquet for the family members in the back, and the one in front has already been prepared."

Daiyu was puzzled and said, "Why is my son saying that he is ready now? What has he prepared?"

Even Liu Da Niu covered her forehead, ashamed to see people, said: "He asked the Marquis of Huai'an to send 1 big yellow sheep, and asked Wanxianglou to prepare [-] big copper hot pots, which will be eaten in the front yard tomorrow." These. But he also specifically told you not to tell the old lady of the Xifu. It means that the main event will be in the back, and you won’t be eating, please rest assured, girl [-]!"

After all, hide your face and leave.

Daiyu: "..."

Chapter 335 Make friends (third update!)

Buzhengfang, Linfu.

lobby.

Zhang Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, looked at Lin Ruhai, sighed, and said, "Ruhai, because of the shortfall in the payment, the hearts of the hundreds of officials in the court are really fluctuating, and they are in a panic! I don't know how many officials go to the office of the Ministry of Officials every day to cry, They also received the recovery documents from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and they are almost unable to bear it. If this continues, there will be problems with the operation of the court."

Lin Ruhai looked at this heavenly official who was the same age as him, but only won No. 60 and No. [-] in the second class, and smiled slightly: "Shang Zhi, let's not stop here."

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Ji was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Officials. Later, because of his good writing of Qingci, he was appreciated and reused by the Supreme Emperor. Shangshu.

The prosperity of officials, not to mention Lin Ruhai, the No. [-] scholar, even the number one scholar back then was not as good as this person.

However, Zhang Ji himself knew that if the Supreme Emperor had been in power for five more years, he would have entered the army long ago.

He is not only good at writing Qing Ci, but also eloquent, quick in writing, and extraordinary in appearance. When he was the censor of Youqian, he often spoke bluntly and was convinced by everyone.

It's a pity, because he is Jing Chaoyun's hard-core confidant, so he is doomed not to be able to join the military again.

It is the position of the official minister, no one knows how long he can hold the position...

Therefore, facing Lin Ruhai, a lowly official, he also treats him as an equal.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's disbelief, Zhang Jiyu said earnestly, "Ruhai, don't even think about it. Most of the officials in the capital are poor officials, not as rich as the local rich. What else can they eat besides collecting a little ice and charcoal all year round? For a few years, the imperial court used spices as silver to distribute salaries. At first it was okay, but later the spices distributed were flooded and were worthless at all! Just like this, the imperial court owed the Beijing officials an unknown amount..."

Lin Ruhai smiled lightly and said, "Isn't it because the imperial court couldn't pay the salary because the treasury was borrowed? Why did you rely on the imperial court?"

Hearing the words, Zhang Ji saw that Lin Ruhai couldn't make sense of life and death, so he frowned slightly and said, "Ruhai, do you know how many officials have handed in letters to the Ministry of Officials these days, asking to be appointed?"

According to the law, officials of the fourth grade and above are required to hand in a booklet to the Son of Heaven.Those below the fourth grade can be directly approved by the Ministry of Officials.

Lin Ruhai asked curiously after hearing the words: "Heavenly official, don't you have to pay back the deficit after you return to your hometown?"

Zhang Ji was anxious when he heard the words, and clapped his hands: "Ruhai! If those officials have quit their posts, can the court support itself by relying on you and me alone? The point is, the officials in Beijing are all poor officials. You let them take What are you paying for?"

Lin Ruhai chuckled, and said, "Shangzhi, I'm not a child of the capital, nor have I lived in Shenjing for a long time. I have stayed in Yangzhou for 13 years. Tell me, all officials in Beijing are poor officials?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ji's face changed slightly, and he said, "This..."

Lin Ruhai said softly: "It is said that Jin Juren is a Jinshi, and Jinshi is silver. Often after passing the examination, he can collect and donate land in the village and collect land rent. Of course, the country has been established for a long time, and it is not so easy to collect and donate now. But In any case, a person who is a Beijing official at the foot of the emperor in the capital, and his family is in the countryside, will not lack land collection. Which one is not a big landlord behind it?"

Even in Jia Qiang's previous life, there were as many undergraduates as a cow's hair, but the national penetration rate was actually less than [-]%.

The weight of juren in this era is far from comparable to that of small books, and the number is even hundreds of times rarer.

Among the 1 people, there may not be a single Juren.

Among the [-] common people, there may not be a Beijing official with a first-class academic qualification.

Unless it is the kind of poor Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, for the sake of looking after, the family is not allowed to collect and donate land. It is really poor that they can't even afford meat.

Otherwise, Beijing officials would never be as poor as Zhang Ji said.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai didn't listen to his kind words, Zhang Ji's complexion became dull, and he looked at Lin Ruhai and said, "Ruhai, we are in the same year, and we came here today with good intentions. I am I don’t want to watch you become a public enemy of Shilin step by step! Ruhai, the court is not in short supply of money now, is it? You have already recovered more than 100 million taels. Furthermore, the emperor raided the Wu’s family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and searched thousands of dollars. The House of Internal Affairs is filled with money from thousands of families. Why bother to force the officials to pay back the money early? Why not give them a few years to pay back slowly?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Brother Shang Zhi is in the position of a heavenly official, and I am deeply impressed by how much he can think about all the officials. How about this? How about Brother Shang Zhi write these suggestions into a booklet and send it to the palace for the emperor to ask?" Make a decision. If the emperor listens to brother Shang Zhi's advice and decides to postpone the recovery, then I will never force it!"

"you……"

Zhang Ji saw that it was difficult to change his ambition, so he stood up and shook his sleeves to leave.

However, Lin Ruhai changed his attitude and said with a smile: "Hey! Brother Shangzhi, don't get angry, don't get angry! You and I have been in the same age for many years, since Brother Shangzhi came forward in person, and what you said made some sense, what do you think? I, each take a step back and make a compromise!"
