Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

Although Mo Gu refuses to admit it, he definitely belongs to the type who is single based on his strength. He doesn't know why he was born alone. It's pity that he has never had a chance to show his boyish heart. Hearing that Emperor Pingkang intends to In the draft, for some reason, his old face blushed slightly.

He pointed his fingers shyly, "Draft... This is not good, there is no money in the court."

Because of this, Emperor Pingkang was ridiculed by him for a long time. To put it bluntly, he has seen the emperor a lot, and it is really rare to be as poor as Emperor Pingkang.

It's not that Emperor Pingkang's private treasury is not rich. In fact, because Emperor Pingkang is still alive, Emperor Pingkang's private treasury has not been passed on to him, but is still in the hands of Emperor Pingkang himself. , but judging from those taken by Xiaowu earlier, Emperor Pingkang's own private property definitely counts a lot.

The poverty he refers to actually refers to the entire Dajin Dynasty. The finances of the Dajin Dynasty are no longer miserable. Most of the annual tax revenue will be borrowed by others soon after it is collected, and the rest is just Barely maintaining the operation of the Great Jin Dynasty, no matter how much you want to do, it is difficult.

The money that Emperor Pingkang personally conquered the Northeast before was still saved by him from seven provinces and eight provinces, and even saved some money from the concubine. To be the emperor, and the emperor who has not had a second generation since the founding of the country will be so poor. rare.

Although he stopped borrowing money from his courtiers, and sent people to urge his courtiers to pay back the money, but the two houses of Rongning and Ningxia paid back most of the money owed, and the other ministers were pretending to be dead for him, so he had no choice but to Come up with the policy of installment payment for future generations.

Even so, the money in hand is not much, but it is enough to pave the roads near the capital with cement. At this time, there is a draft, the biggest problem is still money.

Therefore, he was obviously moved, but he hesitated because he didn't dare to act because he had no money.

Xia Dequan secretly rolled his eyes. If the Holy Majesty hadn't blushed, he might still believe him a little bit, but now...

Although he had long been dismissive of the relationship between men and women, Xia Dequan couldn't help but despise Mo Gu for a while. As an emperor, how could he not be like Emperor Pingkang in this respect?

Besides, the innocence of a woman can be called cute, but the innocence of a man...especially when put on a man like Emperor Jing Rong who probably has several children...that is a chill.

Xia Dequan suppressed the chills on his body, and said with a smile: "No matter how much money you need, you won't be short of the little money you gave to the Holy One to marry a wife."

He is not lying, the draft is just a little troublesome, and they don't give the show girl travel expenses, and the show girl enters the palace only for a day trip. In fact, it is nothing more than the cost of snacks and tea. Not much, of course, if the Holy Majesty really chooses some beautiful girls, that's another matter.

But this matter is not a headache for them. Either the household department is more ruthless and asks the emperor to get married next year, and then he will naturally have money to marry a wife after collecting taxes; or the emperor or the emperor pays for it himself. There is no shortage of money for the grand wedding of the Holy One, not to mention the Holy One, backed by a street in Jinjiang, the Lord who has the most money in the entire Jin Dynasty is the Holy One.

Xia Dequan explained the draft system in detail, and Mo Gu then realized that the so-called draft was just a one-day trip, unlike the TV show where he lived in the palace for more than half a month. Although he was a little curious, it was only a few minutes. In other words, how do you know the temperament and character of this beautiful woman?

But after thinking about it, it's not surprising. As a man, Emperor Pingkang only needs to know whether Xiu Nu looks good or not. As for other things...it doesn't matter.

Thinking of this, Mo Gu's original anticipation faded a bit.

Mo Gu waved his hand and said: "There is no silver in the court, so let's postpone the draft."

Although Xia Dequan didn't understand why Emperor Jing Rong lost his mind about drafting in an instant, he still persuaded him: "As the saying goes, if you have money or not, marry a wife to celebrate the New Year, besides..."

Xia Dequan said with some embarrassment: "It's time for His Royal Highness Prince Dun to get married."

Compared with the Holy Majesty, Prince Dun is the real older unmarried young man. If we don't get married, some people will suspect that there is something wrong with Prince Dun.

Mo Gu laughed and said, "Xiao Wu? That's really difficult."

Xiao Wu is a so-called asexual person in later generations, no matter male or female, he can't arouse his interest, so it is extremely difficult to make Xiao Wu fall in love with him.

Mo Gu shrugged his shoulders and said, "As for the draft, let the Supreme Emperor decide to do it."

Although he was not optimistic about whether he and Xiao Wu could find a suitable partner in just a few minutes, Mo Gu did not insist on stopping the draft. The minister has not yet controlled it, and through the draft, we can also see the minister's intentions. If he intends to join him, he will naturally send his daughter to Beijing.

Mo Gu paused and said again: "The draft should be limited to the daughters of officials who are above the third rank, so as not to waste people and money."

Although Xia Dequan said lightly that there is no need to pay the beautiful girls for travel, but if they really come, it is impossible for them to go back empty-handed. In order to save some money, it is better to have fewer people.

Mo Gu rubbed his chin, wondering if he could just give everyone a set of makeup produced by Jinjiang Rouge Workshop, and also promote it along the way. According to what Mo Er said, after Emperor Pingkang abdicated, the concubines also lost their power to compete for beauty. Don't worry, so many popular colors can't be sold out, and the entire fashion industry has become stagnant in an instant.

Xia Dequan smiled and said, "Yes."

This prince and concubine has always been from a family of the fourth rank or above. Although the Holy Majesty has raised the standard a bit, but as the Holy Majesty and the King of Dunjun, it is also appropriate to choose from a third-rank family.

Mo Gu cared more about another matter than the draft, his eyes darkened slightly, "Xue Yan, has he come back?"

Although the head of the Xue family in Jinling is Xue Bin, that is, Xue Baochai's grandfather, most of the wealth of the Xue family is due to the worship of his younger brother Xue Yan.

The Xue family is engaged in overseas business, and the fleet of the Xue family is run by Xue Yan. This person is not only good at dancing, but also proficient in various languages. He spends most of his time at sea, and in terms of his understanding of other countries, this person is definitely No.1 in the Jin Dynasty.

Of course...he has another identity, which is Jian Hao's biological father.Even Xia Dequan didn't know where this mess started, but since Nanny Jian didn't want him to know about Jian Hao's existence, Mo Gu wouldn't be too troublesome.

Mo Gu was silent for a long time, "Think of a way to get Xue Yan to go to Beijing."

Leaving aside the matter of Jian Hao, but Xue Yan is of great use to him, some matters should be discussed with him on the spot in Beijing.

"Yes."

The Holy Majesty is finally about to draft, and many people are gearing up, not to mention people in Beijing, even many ministers from other provinces are looking forward to it. Many people stopped to look at each other silently years ago. As for the matter, just wait for the holy one to be drafted, and then one person will gain the Tao, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven.

Jinjiang rouge workshop also took the opportunity to launch new makeup, and also made a good daughter-in-law series of rouge powder, which will definitely please the parents-in-law. The festive makeup is like this, and all of them are sold out of stock in an instant, not only in the capital, but also in other provinces. Few people were rushing to buy it, and Mo Er counted the money until his hands cramped, but Mrs. Lin and Zhang felt a little uneasy.

Mogu became the emperor, and she also rose with the tide, and was able to enter the imperial hospital as a woman.Originally, people were quite critical of her as a woman who became an imperial physician, but Mrs. Lin Zhang was born in the family of the former Zhang Yuanjue. .

Furthermore, Mo Gu asked Mrs. Lin Zhang to be in charge of the department of gynecology. The difference between men and women made it difficult for others to talk, and the court sentenced her to escort her, and the matter was settled like this.

It's just that when she heard about Emperor Jing Rong's selection, Lin Zhang couldn't hide her uneasiness. She was not opposed to Mo Gu's marriage. If I remember correctly, the Lin family also happened to be eligible for the draft.

The Lin family has always been thinly populated, and there are only two children in the Lin family, Brother Jiang and Brother Hai, born to Mrs. Lin. However, Lord Lin's elder brother died young, and the orphan left behind happened to be raised in Lord Lin's house. His younger brother is also about the same age as his old brother, maybe Lord Lin will arrange for his niece to enter the palace for a draft.

When she disappeared that year, the child was about six years old, so he might not have recognized her; even if he couldn't recognize her, if he met Jiang'er...

Jiang'er... looks a bit like Lord Lin, and it's because Lord Lin is not in the capital that people don't notice it. If Lord Lin also comes to Beijing...

Thinking of this, Lin Zhang felt a little uneasy.Her current life is easy and comfortable, she is supported by her parents for no reason, and she is always cared for by Wenyuan judges, and Jiang Er is competitive. I am willing to get involved in the mess in the Lin family's backyard again.

The court judge patted Lin and Zhang on the shoulder, "Your family's grievances have been clarified by the Holy Majesty. From then on, you will be a decent family, and you will take Liang as your concubine. It is the Lin family's fault if you make trouble."

Back then Emperor Pingkang died of dystocia, and the Imperial Hospital was shaken because of this. The former Zhang Yuanjuan was ransacked and exiled because of this. He was just a small imperial doctor at that time, unable to help Master Zhang, but now he is a dignified Yuanjuan. He also got permission from the Holy Grace to preside over some medical school, and with the qualifications to go to court, he would never let the daughter of an old man be wronged again.

Lin Zhang shook her head, "I'm not worried about my own safety, but... I'm worried about Jiang'er."

With Emperor Jing Rong under his protection, the Lin family would never dare to let her go back to be a concubine, let alone do anything to her again, but Jiang'er is the flesh and blood of the Lin family after all, and given the frailty of the Lin family, I'm afraid it won't happen. Let go of Jiang'er easily.

When it comes to this matter, Wen Yuan's judgment is also a bit embarrassing, Mo Jiang is the son of the Lin family, even if it is an ordinary family reconciliation, there is no reason for the woman to take the child.

"This..." Court Wen sighed: "Why don't you let Xiao Jiang'er stay in Yingtian Academy for this period of time, and don't come out to meet people."

After thinking about it, he only thought of hiding a trick.

Lin Zhang sighed: "That's the only way to go."

Although Jiang'er was wronged for a few days, it was better than separating mother and child.

It's just that they wanted to escape this period of time, but they never expected that Lord Lin and Mo Jiang would bump into each other in Yingtian Academy after all.

And the reason is that it was the fault of the unknown. Who told him to give the ministers a test of mathematics, physics and chemistry? Tutoring mathematics, physics and chemistry, it is natural to go to Yingtian Academy. In this way, the father and son met in a very strange way.
