imprinted you in my heart

After a lingering night, the two reconciled as before, and Shi Min woke up at dawn, looking at the sleeping face of her lover in her arms, with curved brows and eyes, as gentle as water, she couldn't take her eyes off her gaze like a peerless treasure.

"The spring night is bitter and the days are high, so the emperor will not go to court early." Shi Min suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence, because today she especially does not want to go to court early!

But thinking about it, she definitely can't do it, at least at this stage, she can't go to bed early if she doesn't want to, because there are too many facts to deal with.Bu Qianxue didn't have to go to bed early, and usually got up later than her. She estimated the time, and she was ready to get up, but she didn't want to disturb the person in her arms.

Bu Qianxue, who was sleepy, rubbed her eyes and saw that Shi Min was about to get up. She subconsciously looked at the window and persuaded, "It's still early, why don't you sleep more."

"It's time to get up. There's been a lot of things lately. You're sleeping. I'll come back and have lunch with you when I'm done." Although Shi Min really wanted to have a sleepover with his lover, time and political affairs didn't allow it. , had no choice but to comfort in a soft voice.

Bu Qianxue was completely awake now, she stared at Shi Min for a while, and saw the reluctance in each other's eyes, although they enjoyed the prosperity and wealth of the world, sometimes they also had a lot of helplessness.

For example, a very small thing, but because the object is them, it may be infinitely magnified, so whenever you go out of the palace or in front of the ministers, you must always pay attention to it, and you have to do some things you don’t want to do, and even sometimes will have to compromise.

Anyway, royal life is not like what Bu Qianxue thought, sitting in the world and doing whatever she wants. Thinking of this, she reluctantly turned around, turned her back to Shi Min, and replied "Yes."

"Then I'm leaving, you can go back to sleep later." Shi Min, who got up and put on her shoes, said while bending over to straighten the quilt for her, and then got up to go outside when she was satisfied.

Sensing Shi Min's movement, Bu Qianxue turned around again and saw that the other party was going to change clothes outside, so she stopped her immediately and said, "It's cold outside, you should change here." Lu Guanchu and Lu Yan who were outside entered in response.

"Okay." In fact, there is a brazier outside, which is not much colder than the bedroom. Usually, if Bu Qianxue doesn't wake up when she wakes up, she doesn't want to wake him up, and she also changes and washes in the outside room, but it's rare that the other party is awake today. She opened her mouth again, and she complied.

Lu Guanchu and Lu Yan thought they were going to get up at the same time, but when they came in, they saw Zhonggong was still lying on the bed, they immediately reacted, and began to change and wash Shi Min in an orderly manner.

The status of the empress here is very high, serving the emperor or not depends entirely on the mood, and there is no need to greet the empress dowager every day, because it is their real duty to take charge of the harem and give birth to the emperor's heir. The emperor's heir, as long as it is not a serious crime of treason, the ministers are also blameless, and at most they will fight with each other.

If the empress is the emperor's beloved, then the treatment will be even higher, after all, those who are especially favored by the emperor are generally confident!

The world also feels that there is nothing wrong with this, after all, everyone thinks this way.Who wouldn't want to put the best in the hands of a loved one?

Seeing that Shi Min was about to finish washing and changing, Bu Qianxue hurriedly asked, "What do you think of the Queen Mother's request?"

It's the same every year, and this year the Queen Mother still insists on naming a new trick, Bu Qianxue really can't think of any good ideas for a while, thinking that Shi Min usually has a lot of ideas, so I want to hear her opinion.

Hearing this, Shi Min also felt a little embarrassed, because no matter how many thoughts there are, it is useless if there is not enough time. After thinking for a long time, he turned to look at Bu Qianxue and replied: "I guess the queen mother just wants to be lively, otherwise the New Year's Eve All the relatives and relatives who are close to the royal family are called, and we are arranging some singing and dancing and the shadow puppet show that the queen mother likes, and it should be almost done."

Since the sudden death of the first emperor, every new year it was just her and the empress dowager, the empress mother and Prince Li's family. Later, the empress dowager also left, and there were even fewer people. Thinking about it, it was indeed a bit deserted.

In the Hua Dynasty, immortal death is a special term for the death of the emperor. Because the whole country believes in Taoism, the ultimate dream of the world is to become a fairy, and the emperor is even worse. Xian naturally didn't want to let it go.

The New Year's Eve of the New Year's Eve is also the most important festival in the Hua Dynasty. It is a big day to reunite with family members and enjoy a year's harvest. Therefore, the emperors of the Hua Dynasty generally would not occupy it for no reason, but insisted on spending each year separately. Over time, a custom has been formed that the emperor's relatives and relatives will be entertained in the palace on the first day of the new year, and the officials will be hosted on the second day of the new year.

The reason why Prince Li’s family will always celebrate New Year with them is that the two families are close in blood; second, the relationship between the two families has always been close; The country has worked a lot, and it is well deserved.

Bu Qianxue felt that there was no difference between what Shi Min said and what he didn't say, but she agreed happily, and said, "Remember to have breakfast before going to court." After speaking, she looked at Lu Guanchu, Lu Guanchu Quickly reported that it was ready.

"Well, then you are sleeping for a while, I'm leaving." Shi Min went to court after breakfast in the main hall of Anren Palace, and Bu Qianxue only got up after sleeping for a while, and started busy after breakfast Get up, deal with the palace affairs first as usual, and then deal with the affairs of Pingzhun Commercial Bank.

When she first accepted the affairs of Pingzhun Commercial Bank, Bu Qianxue summoned Guo Fanqiu every now and then, and asked Shi Min from time to time. Now that she was familiar with it, she rarely summoned him. Generally, she would not summon Guo Fanqiu lightly for non-important matters.

It was only after taking over that she realized why Shi Min had so much money. The quarterly gross profit of Guangping Zhun Trading Company was several times their annual salary. Can spend that much money.

The middle and upper management of Pingzhun Commercial Bank knew that the manager would change sooner or later, so it was not difficult to accept the new manager, but the fact that the other party did not reveal his true colors made people think about it, but there is a precedent for the big boss , everyone accepted it very quickly.

The fact that she didn't show her face to everyone was due to Bu Qianxue's own considerations, and it was also Shi Min's suggestion. After all, it would be bad if the people below recognized her.

On the other hand, Shi Min frowned slightly after listening to the report on this year's fiscal and taxation by Minister of the Household Department Yuan Naoki in the court hall. This year's treasury revenue is slightly higher than last year's, it is indeed slightly higher, but the expenditure is more than three times that of last year. , One is a big wedding, and the other is sending troops, both of which are huge sums of money that have to be spent.

This year the national treasury didn't have much surplus at all. Fortunately, there was a surplus in each of the previous three years, sometimes quite a lot. Otherwise, various expenditures in the coming year would not be able to maintain, especially since the war on the border has not ended, and we don't know how much it will cost.

But even if she wants to cut expenses, she doesn't know where to start, because she has already cut what can be cut, and the remaining and newly added institutions have to be maintained, such as military expenses, official salaries, education, and medicine. Wait for that to cost money.

Shi Min suddenly remembered the ships that the shipbuilding department had built before, and it seemed that there were some leftovers besides being equipped to supply the navy. At present, the commercial and trade channels on the land roads of the Southwest Official Road are still too narrow.

The tea, silk and porcelain of the Ming and Ming Dynasties were very popular among the countries, and no matter whether they exchanged goods with the southwestern official countries or the six vassal states, they were in a surplus position.

However, the annual income from the trade surplus is less than 5.00% of the national fiscal revenue, which is really abnormal. I am afraid that the distance is long and transportation difficulties are one of the main reasons.

In order to control the large influx of foreign silver, which would lead to domestic currency inflation, Shi Min even ordered that a certain amount of physical exchange must be guaranteed for bulk goods transactions, and silver could only be paid from two to five floors.

If the maritime trade is opened up and a special customs is established to collect taxes, will the national treasury have a large amount of income? She is very happy when she thinks about this, but she dare not speak rashly in court if there is nothing certain.

There are too many government departments in Fandu, and it is impossible to listen to their year-end reports in one day, so every year they come in rotation, one to three departments report every day, and when all the departments report, it will be New Year's Eve. Start vacation.

For a large and important department like the Ministry of Household Affairs, they are the main characters in today's year-end report. All the ministers were greatly relieved to hear that the treasury still has a little savings. It is better to have a surplus than a deficit.

If it weren't for being unable to do things today, various government departments would definitely scramble to say that they are short of money, for fear that they will not be able to allocate funds to their own government departments in the coming year.

After Yuan Zhimu's report was completed, Shi Min affirmed her financial and taxation work this year, and rewarded her as usual. The fiscal and taxation targets of each province this year were also well completed, and she also rewarded the top three provinces as usual.

After the early court affairs, it was almost noon when the next court was over, so Shi Min simply didn't even go to the Wenxuan Hall, and directly drove to Anren Palace.

During lunch, Shi Min talked about the itinerary for the afternoon. It was a rare event for her to go out this afternoon, because this year, the Enke Scholars did not immediately take office after arranging their duties as before, but concentrated on participating in a one-day training program. The month's pre-job training just ended today. In order to show her importance, she said that she would go after the graduation, so she couldn't break her promise.

In the previous scientific examinations, because there were many official vacancies in various places, there was no time or opportunity to give her the opportunity to conduct pre-office training and observe. This year, Enke always has the conditions and opportunities, and she will naturally not let it go.

Therefore, the tentative plan is to study intensively for one month. The training class will be held at Ming Dao College. The teachers will be taught by famous teachers from the college and related officials. The main purpose is to train their professional ability and thinking.

After the training is completed, an assessment will be conducted, rewards will be given to those who rank at the top, and light punishments will be given to those who rank at the bottom.After that, the Ministry of Officials will assign each person according to their position to observe for three months in the six departments of the capital and various government offices. There will also be an assessment, and there will be rewards and punishments. If you are promoted to a higher level, your position will be adjusted accordingly.

This is only a preliminary tentative plan. If there is no problem in this trial, it will become a practice in the future.This is also in order to prevent the situation that Shi Min can only be led by the nose by the subordinates after the official takes office without knowing anything.

The reason why Shi Min told Bu Qianxue about this was not just talking about it, because Bu Qianxue also knew about it, and she actually wanted Bu Qianxue to go with her, but when she thought of the cold wind when she came back before , Don't think about it again, she is afraid that Bu Qianxue will freeze. ?
