It was the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and all government offices in Beijing were preparing to seal boxes to welcome the Spring Festival.

In fact, even if the boxes are not sealed, the people from all the yamen have no intention of working.

What's wrong with the official?

He's also a human being!

I only have a few days off all year round. I hope that the yamen can have some surplus and give me some rice, white flour, vegetable oil, etc. If it is a yamen with heavy oil, I can also give me some dried pork, fruits and other things!

Before this time, intrigue came out in the yamen. They were all dignified officials of the court, but there were all statements about whoever took as much as they were and whoever took what they were good at.

Being an official means you will get three or six or six grades!

But there are also those who don’t care about these things. During the Chinese New Year, they are just for the celebration. Not only do they take out all the surplus in the yamen, they also pay out their own pockets and add things to their subordinates.

For example, Lifanyuan!

There is no such yamen among the six ministries in the capital, and people in the six ministries are disdainful when they mention this yamen.

But this kind of disdain becomes jealousy when it comes to the festival!

It's so fucking annoying! The big dog-master Cao is sending things to his subordinates again!

~~

The main hall of Lifanyuan.

Hundreds of officials and officials gathered together. Although the seats were divided into different positions, the tables in front of everyone were the same, the snacks, tea, sugar, and fresh fruits.

Li Jinglong's personal soldier Li Xiaowai respectfully delivered the money in his hands to every official one by one.

"You have collected the tickets from Daguang Henghuo Store!"

Li Xiaowai kept repeating his mouth, smiling, "By tickets, each person can receive ten kilograms of white sugar, two baskets of tangerines, two kilograms of pepper, five feet of cotton cloth, ten kilograms of lard, two jars of soy sauce, and two jars of wine. Each rice and flour is fifty kilograms, thirty kilograms of millet, and twenty eggs..."

The capital officials are poor. Although these things are nothing to wealthy families, they are a great gift for them that is both face and introverted.

Everyone who received the gift smiled and thanked Li Jinglong, Duke Cao who was sitting in the main seat.

The latter nodded slightly.

After a while of noisy, the invoices were issued, the hall was quiet, waiting for Duke Cao Li Jinglong to speak.

"It's been a year, everyone has been busy for a year!"

Li Jinglong shouted, "Long live the emperor praised him in person yesterday morning. Our Lifanyuan did a good job this year!"

As soon as the words came to an end, everyone's face was full of honor and radiance.

"Longsui Master praised us for our good things when the foreign vassals came to see us! We did a good job in immigration!" Li Jinglong smiled again, "I told Master Wansui Master that I dare not take credit. This is all the colleagues below who are diligent in state affairs and perform their duties! I also told Master Wansui that the Lifan Academy can have the current situation. First, the emperor's kindness is great, and second, it is because you all work together!"

Look, what is able to speak, this is able to speak!

Such a big hereditary Duke gave all the credit to the people below in front of the emperor!

Li Jinglong continued to laugh and said, "I'm not a lie! Without you, this huge Lifanyuan could not hold on. Without you, you would not be busy day and night, Lifanyuan would not have the decent today!"

As he said that, he paused, and in everyone's expectant eyes, he said with a smile, "The evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel this year has been sent! The Ministry of Personnel asked me, are there anyone who is perfunctory to do things without doing anything?"

"I directly replied to the Ministry of Personnel. All of our Lifan Academy are capable officials. They are outstanding in character, talent, moral integrity and ethics! So this year's assessments are all excellent!"

Everyone cheered, "I'm waiting for you to thank Master!"

This is equivalent to telling everyone in the Lifan Academy that the reason why you are excellent in the evaluation is because I spoke at the Ministry of Personnel.

You should know that officials of the Ming Dynasty could only be promoted after three consecutive years of evaluation and evaluation. However, once there were moderate and lower-level evaluations in the past three years, the efforts of these three years would be in vain.

"No need to thank me!" Li Jinglong smiled again, "Since I am the Lifanyuan family, you all are my family! You know me, haha, protect me!"

"Hahaha!" There was a burst of laughter in the main hall.

"I can only say that I can't say well. Whoever says that will make me unable to get along with me!"

Look, what is the art of leader speaking, this is art!

It is clear to tell these subordinate officials that I can make you have excellent grades in the exam, and I can make you have inferior ones in the exam.

Follow me and work hard and the future is bright.

But if you don’t work hard, or if you do things perfunctorily and delay business, you’re sorry!

"The ticket I just sent to you is my own New Year's goods for you, Mr. Li, who is my own subsidy!"

When Li Jinglong spoke like this, all the subordinates were smiling happily.

"The Beijing officials are hard-working! I see all your days and remember them in my heart! It's not a gift, just some food and affordable things!" As he said, Li Jinglong smiled again, "I can't eat at home, so I can give it to my father-in-law, so I can't afford it, right?"

"Hahahaha!" The subordinates laughed again.

At this time, Li Jinglong stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I'm here, I wish you all the New Year in advance! We have a smooth sailing this year. We will take the next level and continue to work harder next year!"

"Secretary and others remember the teachings of the grandfather!"

Li Jinglong laughed twice, "My gift has been sent, and now I am sending the imperial reward!"

As he said that, waved his hand!

In the ardent eyes of everyone, Li Xiaowai brought people to hold two boxes and came out from behind.

When I opened the box, there was a thick layer of kraft paper envelope inside. Each envelope had a name written on it, but I don’t know how much it was inside...

"There is a surplus in the yamen this year!" Li Jinglong said loudly again, "Since there is a surplus, I, the head of the family, will ask for a freshman time and give it to everyone! The money is not a lot, but it is enough for everyone to take care of relatives in the countryside and add a few new clothes to their wives and children!"

Everyone knows what's going on!

You said that the money was rewarded by the emperor, and that was also said that it was Li Jinglong's own decision.

In fact, this money is not paid at all, and no other yamen has ever heard of it. Anyone who is accused of this is afraid that the censors will catch the small handle and say something in front of the emperor!

After all, this money is a budget that has not been spent on business.

The unfinished budgets of other yamen are all in the hands of the Secretariat, keeping them as a small treasury for the yamen!

But Duke Cao was just responsible and sent it as soon as he said that.

Someone secretly opened the envelope and smiled after a glance.

All of them are tiger-head silver notes worth twenty silver dollars each. They are just printed by the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty and have the fragrance of ink!

With this money, you can really have a good New Year!

What you eat can fill your stomach, what you use is practical, but if you want to say omnipotence is still real money!

The house at home is old and it is time to be repaired. The son is getting married when he grows up, and the daughter is getting married when he grows up.. The old man has to prepare for his funeral...

In the midst of joy, the envelope was distributed.

Li Jinglong smiled again, "I have settled a white meat mat in the casserole..." As he said, he looked at everyone, "We should still be a good job during the day. After the scattered yamen, you will go home and bring your little daughter and son at home, so let's have fun! In addition, I have notified the casserole that each person will prepare two boxes of braised meat for you, and you will also take it back for the elderly at home and your wife to try it out!"

"You are so kind!"

~~

While everyone was joking, Yang Jing, the chief minister of the Lifan Academy, frowned slightly.

He pulled Li Jinglong and whispered, "Master, is the surplus in the yamen this year sent this year?"

"What about that?" Li Jinglong smiled.

Yang Jing grinned, "What will we use next year?"

"I'll ask the Ministry of Revenue next year!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "These money is left over from receiving foreign vassals. They are all within the budget, and they will not be white or distributed!"

"No...I mean!" Yang Jing said anxiously, "If next year... there is a difficult time..."

"With me here, what difficulties can our Lifanyuan have?" Li Jinglong took a lot of money, "I tell you, if you don't pay this money, do you believe it or not, when you ask for money next year, Mr. Zhang of the Ministry of Revenue will not approve new money in the name of our Lifanyuan's surplus! You haven't figured out that if you don't spend the money, why do you want it again next year?"
