Chapter 4: Auspiciousness comes from the sky
Because I still have enough sleep, I feel very energetic when I get up. Now at noon, it is the time for Fengshan. According to my surname, it doesn’t matter if this Fengshan is not Fengshan. It’s just that I’m doing it well and making a good reputation for myself. Isn’t it happy to be able to feel at ease even when I enjoy myself?
Lan'er got up an hour ago and said she wanted to help prepare for the shower. The petite and cute Xing'er was laying the bed and folding the quilt, looking delicate, lazy and charming. The moans of the little fairy could make my whole body full of teasing.
I was like a pig before execution, doing nothing, just waiting to take a shower and pluck my hair.
"Long live, this is found under your mattress." Xing'er, the girl, rushed into my arms excitedly, holding a stack of paper in her hand.
I patted her on the butt and chuckled, "Isn't the little fairy entangled Mian enough last night?" As he said that, he took over the stack of paper and looked over, but he saw that the four big words Changrong Imperial Village were written on it. Below, there were numbers written in capital letters. What are 10,000 taels, 8,000 taels, etc.
What a mess? Could it be the IOU, that guy Wu Liang, don’t borrow a lot of debt for me? I frowned. I suddenly woke up again, and slapped my head and said suddenly: “It’s a silver note!”
"Long live, I still like to hide my private money. When the Queen finds out, I'm afraid I'm going to make a fuss." Xing'er, a girl, had a look of awe for me at some point, and she dared to tease me openly.
"Little girl, could it be Ji Xi sent by the queen?" I laughed evilly, stretched out my clutch to punish her, until she couldn't stand begging for mercy. Then she said righteously: "I am also a human being. It's better to have a personal money than not." But I secretly laughed at that idiot in my heart. Hiding private money would only hide under the mattress.
I counted roughly and found that it was about 300,000 taels. However, I had no idea how much these silver notes were worth.
It just so happened that Zhang Huang came to pay his respects early in the morning to pay his respects. The guard with the knife had nothing to pay his respects or not, but I guess the boy was just trying to contact me more. You should know that this was a way to get promoted and make a fortune. I remember that in my era, many colleagues were very willing to contact leaders. Most of these people were promoted faster. They generally couldn't stand this, so they would not be able to do it well.
"Zhang Huang, you are here just right." I didn't call my surname Aiqing or not. I just called my name more intimately, and I gave him a 10,000 taels of silver bill: "This is what I rewarded you. Thank you for your hard work these days."
Zhang Huang hurriedly knelt down and refused, until I pushed him with a stern face, he took it down. After glanced at it, he screamed in fear: "One, ten thousand taels?"
Looking at his exaggerated expression, he knew that the ten thousand taels of silver bills should be quite valuable. Then he asked curiously: "Zhang Huang, what is your usual salary?"
"Report to the emperor, when I was in charge of the fourth-rank guard with swords, my salary was 100 taels of silver, thirty stones of grain, and two pieces of silk and satin." Zhang Huang calculated again: "If it were calculated based on the current first-rank guard with swords, it would be 300 taels of silver, 100 stones of grain, and ten pieces of silk and satin. However, this position as a guard with swords, will be calculated after returning to the palace and will be officially issued by the Ministry of Personnel."
"Are you talking about annual or monthly salary?" I asked casually.
Zhang Huang was stunned, and became a little puzzled, and replied strangely: "Master, what is the monthly salary and what is the annual salary?"
I also suddenly realized that at this time, I didn't say that, so I explained: "I'm asking you, do you want to receive so much money in January or so a year."
Zhang Huang was a little amused, but he still replied respectfully: "I have received so much in a year when I return to the emperor."
No wonder, the annual salary of the first-class guard with swords is 300 taels. Now that he has rewarded him for thirty years, he is of course surprised.
"I ask you." I thought about it again and asked, "If you have one hundred taels and the whole family will pass the day, how long will it last?"
Zhang Huang lowered his head and thought for a while, and replied: "For more than two years, Weichen's family has a large number of people, about ten people. Of course, Weichen's family lives in a wealthy family, and the annual living expenses are about 300 taels."
Damn, this silver is worth so much? I am afraid that an ordinary family can live a comfortable life if they receive a reward of tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"Your Majesty, this reward is too much. Please take it back." Zhang Huang respectfully handed the silver notes back. This kid could indeed figure out his feelings.
Of course, this money is not mine, and there is no feeling sorry for it. Since it is something that has been rewarded, there is no reason to take it back. Suo pretends to be generous, and then he took out a silver note of 10,000 taels and handed it to him, whispering: "You can also take this money and help me buy some of my confidants."
Zhang Huang did not hesitate this time, immediately took the money and said respectfully: "With the emperor's 20,000 taels of silver, I can guarantee that all the imperial guards will be loyal to the emperor."
I really like this guy so much that I have nothing to say. Judging from what he meant, I am afraid that even his ten thousand taels of silver bills would be prepared to take them out to win people's hearts. I walked up and helped Zhang Huang, who was kneeling on the ground, up: "Zhang Huang, I will not treat you badly."
Zhang Huang didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to be full of excitement.
Suddenly, Zhang Huang thought of something again and said, "Emperor, after you were at the Jade Emperor's Head last time, several brothers who searched for the scene found some strange things. They just handed it to Weichen this morning, should they show it to the emperor?"
What a strange thing? Could it be my lighter, cigarettes, or something? And that travel bag?
I hurriedly told him to send me all the things after the Fengshan ceremony. He also told me that no one was allowed to touch those things. Those things were not worth much in my era, but in this ancient society, there was no one that was priceless. Especially when I thought of cigarettes, I didn't smoke a cigarette for both days, which made me very uncomfortable.
"Long live the bath soup is ready." Lan'er walked over and shouted softly.
"Zhang Huang, go." I patted his shoulder and gave him a trusting look.
Zhang Huangqing knew everything and said nothing and stepped down respectfully.
I handed all the remaining silver notes to Lan'er and told her to keep them. Then I walked towards the bath curtain with ease.
The emperor's life is so fulfilling. No wonder so many people are sharpening their heads. Do you want to be emperor?
The time of joy is always short. Tao Qian's old fox arrested me to attend the Fengshan ceremony as soon as I left the bathroom. I hadn't eaten lunch yet, but he told me that I could not eat anything a day today. I was speechless...
The entire Fengshan ceremony was extremely depressing to me. I listened to the squalls of monks croaking for a long time, and then the people from the Ministry of Rites arranged to the center of the altar.
What I have to do is sit cross-legged in the center of the altar and meditate. Rely on meditation to communicate with the so-called heaven, listen to heaven's opinions, and then accept its Fengshan.
After sitting for more than ten minutes, I almost fell asleep. I kept scolding Tao Qian in my heart, why didn't the promised thing go? I looked in his direction in confusion, but saw him gestured me, as if to make me feel at ease.
In the eyes of people of this era, I am not good at doing anything excessive. In the eyes of people of this era, God is the supreme existence. Even if I am the emperor, I am just acting in accordance with God.
I sat down without moving for more than two hours. I was so tired that my waist was sore and my back was sore, and my stomach was so hungry that I had been scolded by Tao Qian, the dead old fox, had been scolded by me from my heart to the eighteen generations of his ancestors. Then I had to curse him, and I had to start scolding his descendants.
Just as I was confused by the sound of the monks chanting, a strange phenomenon appeared. A rich golden light fell from the sky, wrapping my whole body inside. I could clearly hear that the monk's chanting scriptures became much higher. When I opened my eyes, everyone, including the guards standing guard, knelt down and shouted: "For the heavens, I will live my emperor."
