Chapter 278 Praise
Prince Cui specially invited Mr. Yang to enter the palace together and presented Zi Lan's writing to the emperor for reading.
The changes were made specifically annotated. Zi Lan wrote something very clear and clear, without a single complimentary nonsense. It was displayed very clearly and explained in detail at a glance. It made people feel happy after reading it.
The emperor smiled and raised the things in his hand, "If the ministers wrote the memorial like this, how much time would I save? It looks so comfortable."
There are rules for ministers to write memorials, but in order to curry favor with the emperor, they will start by saying nonsense such as compliment and complaints. Some are memorials for greetings, but they cannot be read. If something important is lost, it will be troublesome. It will take a lot of time to delay the emperor's time, and he has to do most of the day to comment on memorials every day.
Mr. Yang laughed, "Don't praise her anymore. I heard from Brother Yu that the little girl is too reckless. She is a little young and thinks she is so capable. She is so brave and pointed at the emperor. The Song family has already punished her severely. The child does not know that the world is high, so the emperor should not blame him."
The emperor waved his hand indifferently, "Don't scold her, she is much more useful than those borers. A group of people enjoy the salary of the court but are not enterprising and do not make decisions for the people. Sneak! It's better than a child to have a innocent heart.
This girl earned money by her own ability, and she didn't take me a single coin. I would get angry when I lifted those worms. Don't punish that girl, I admire her very much. If it were a boy, I would definitely use it.
I think there is a lot to do if you think this is appropriate for anyone to give.”
Mr. Yang clasped his fists and took the lead in expressing his statement, "This time, the Song family and I will not participate in this matter. Youxianglou and shipping have already taken a lot of advantage. Our two families have discussed it. Leave it to others for this matter, and we will not participate."
Everything is too much, and you cannot draw all the benefits into your pocket. If you eat too badly, it will make the emperor feel that they are not greedy.
After pondering for a moment, the emperor looked at the prime minister and asked, "Who do you think is suitable for me? I am not worried about others doing it. How about you sharing my worries with me?"
Master Cui pondered for a moment, touched his beard and spoke, "The old minister is willing to get a share of the pie, but the family of people alone cannot do it. In the long run, I am worried about raising the appetite of the people of the great clan.
People who need to curb can only build each other. That day, I thought of the Yu family. The Yu family has always been loyal and has been guarding Fujian for many years. It is very hard to be a hard-working place, which can be considered as a condolence for the old minister. In addition, I would like to choose another one. I think it is more appropriate to have a prince to keep it."
This statement is reasonable and well-founded and is for the long-term consideration in the future. Only with the royal family's own people can this business last long, and there is no need to worry about someone taking what they want from it.
The emperor nodded convincedly, "I asked Lao Shi to do the shipping business. In fact, I was very interested in the girl's nurturing and nurturing school that day, and I had great potential. I thought it would be more convenient for Lao Shi to do this matter in the future.
I can't find him this time. The prime minister thinks who else in the royal family is more fair and can reassure me."
That day, the emperor was very satisfied with Lan's proposal, especially the second proposal, and he was particularly interested in it. His premonition was really made to make his imperial career a strong mark, but many things still need to be considered carefully, and there is not much confidence. As an emperor, he cannot easily make promises. It is not a false statement.
After hearing this, Master Cui looked at Master Yang and gave him a look, meaning that you can rest assured this time, I am worried about something if I look at him.
Mr. Yang thought about it and spoke again, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the Seventh Prince? He has been working diligently in the court over the years and has been acting very low-key.
He mainly worked hard all the time and did quite well. Moreover, he was the first among the royal princes to start business and was quite experienced. He had worked in Dali Temple, and even the treacherous villain could not escape his eyes."
The Seventh Prince was a few years younger than the emperor and was a younger brother. He had never participated in the battle for the throne back then, and retired from the fight early, and was a rich prince in a low-key manner. Later, he was activated by the emperor.
After hearing this, the emperor immediately laughed, "Why did you forget him? Lao Qi has a tough temper and has always been the most harsh and fair. If that's the case, let him do it."
"The Emperor's Holy Spirit."
Next, everyone will discuss how much profit each household will share and how much money they can get when it falls on officials. Zilan has already given a preliminary plan, but the specific implementation still needs to be considered by the old ministers.
Finally, the agreement was that the three companies cooperated to engage in this battle market, enclosing land and building a market. Each of the three companies received 10% of the profits, the emperor received 50% of the profits, the remaining 20% and 10% were responsible for various maintenance expenses, the welfare and salary of officials, the monthly silver of slaves, and other necessary expenses.
The last 10% of the money is used to promote talents, such as the first three people who came out of the competition, or talented people are found, and money is required to be paid when promoting them, and the rest is handed over to the treasury.
The reason why the treasury is only given less than 10% is because the treasury is managed by the Ministry of Revenue, and officials will borrow money from the Ministry of Revenue, but they will not repay it. The emperor was not very happy, so the private treasury took away 50% of it. If the treasury is short of money, he will pay it himself, such as the pensions of the soldiers, military pay, etc., and what if he doesn't pay it if the treasury has no money?
The money from the private warehouse is also used for marching and going out, and even expenses in the harem.
After discussion, he ordered the Seventh Prince and the Cui family to build this market together. Zilan gave the drawings very detailed, so he could basically understand it if he was not a fool.
First of all, we must enclose the land and move out the houses of the people who occupy the land. They pay for the money themselves and pay for the market themselves. The emperor is responsible for issuing the orders and taking the money for nothing.
Things started to work in full swing. The Song and Yang families did not participate this time and were only responsible for providing suggestions and methods. However, the Yu family and the Cui family were both brother-in-law, so there were also benefits.
The emperor was very happy and issued a public order to reward Zi Lan, expressing her gentleness, respect, understanding, smart and cuteness, and rewarded her with a complete set of silk, satin and head and face jewelry.
Although there is nothing substantial, rewarding her with a girl alone is a great honor, which is enough to prove the excellence of the Song family's daughter. This is to earn a lot of face for the family and parents. No one can say that Song Zilan is greedy for money and vulgarity and only loves economic career.
The emperor said that Song Zilan was very outstanding. If you dare to say that you don’t mean that the emperor is not as good as you, and that he has indirectly corrected her name.
For a time, the Song family was in the limelight. Zilanmao was joking with the old lady in the Yang family and played with the sisters. He didn't even leave the door, so he always kept a low profile to avoid the limelight.
"Good sister, you've earned a lot of face."
Zhao Xuan'er gave Zilan a thumbs up in admiration.
Zi Lan smiled, "Perhaps because I asked the emperor to make money, so I would give me some face. I am very happy."
"What a great face this is. You have earned it yourself. It's your fault. We sisters are so handsome when we go out. Who dares to say that you are greedy and vulgar? Humph! You don't have any vision."
