Chapter 775 Master Zheng's Pattern
During the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, there was a joke: Why not eat meat minced meat?
Emperor Hui of Jin refers to Sima Zhong, the second emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the great-grandson of Sima Yi of the Three Kingdoms.
Perhaps it was because his father Sima Yan liked the "Garment Car" style that he could not do eugenics and was not eugenic, which made Sima Zhong a little intellectually disabled.
But a child is a legitimate son, a legal heir to the royal family, and he is diligent in learning and asking questions, and kind.
When you hear the frogs scream, you will ask: "Why do they call?" When you hear that someone starved to death, you will be shocked and sympathized with me: "If you have no food to eat, why don't you eat meat porridge?"
Can you say he is "Versailles"? No! Because he doesn't show his life is prosperous.
Can you say he has malice? No! Because he has pity on the people who starve to death, he just proposed a solution.
You can say that he has an intellectual problem, but you cannot doubt his motivation.
Besides, no one has taken him to see how the people live. If he has no experience in this regard, how can he expect him to say the right words?
If adults don’t teach, what can children understand?
Public is public, private is private.
Just talking about the word "barren land", I would like to ask if you emperor and his son can think about it? If crops can be grown on the jade mine, can the Chu family's mining team be idle?
Expense? Zheng Chunqiu looked at Liu Ju.
Zheng Chunqiu's unfinished words are: What I mean is that the court pays those people's salary, Chu Qing takes care of those people's food, and those people will eventually take on the favor of their ministers, and the merits of jade production are also meritorious. Is it good for me to guide me? All parties have gained something, and Chu Qing alone suffers a loss... It's a blessing!
This is said beautifully.
He even took out Chu Qing's identity as an expert in the Ministry of Works, saying that Chu Qing had no exchanges and reports with the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Works was unable to guide and master his work.
We must also say "nothing comes out" and directly destroy the jade shipped back from Vos this year.
Zheng Chunqiu, the Minister of Works, who was sucking blood on Chu Qing like a leech, tried to make extra money. When he heard the emperor ordered the ministers of various departments, he ignored it when he came to him, and felt a little unbalanced.
"Well..." The emperor hesitated for a while. Liu Ju was right, but there was only more than a year left. If he could not produce more jade, he would have missed the opportunity!
People from different classes have different concerns and different worlds, so the direction of thinking about problems is naturally different, perhaps with limitations or deviations.
Yesterday, the Fourth Prince talked about the method of using seed power to mine jade. Today, the Minister of Works also mentioned the jade mine. The emperor couldn't help but sit up straight and wait for the following text.
It's twice the result with half the effort! Yes!
Time is tight, and the emperor thinks that it should be important to harvest more jade, so he asked: "Zheng Aiqing, if the Ministry of Works sends people there, how much will it cost?"
The emperor is the one who controls heaven and earth, not him.
Liu Jusu had a face, and every wrinkle on his face read "no money" and his sagging lips showed that he would resist the emperor's resistance to such a proposal.
Zheng Chunqiu stated that he did not mean to covet Chu Qing's private property, and he elevated himself to the level of the leader helping his subordinates. This is Shangguan's care and love for his subordinates.
As the finance minister of a country, he can naturally guess the emperor has an interest relationship with the Chu family, and he can even guess the emperor's share ratio.
"In such a large area, since Chu Qing alone cannot make full use of it, it is better for the Ministry of Works to send craftsmen to dig. After all, you have specialized in your skills and use them to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
But that is the emperor's private matter, how can it be confused with the income and expenditure of the treasury?!
The emperor wanted to describe the mining method mentioned by the Fourth Prince yesterday, but there was a word on his lips, but he couldn't remember it, and it would be twice the result with half the effort!
With methods and experienced talents, the mining area has been expanded, how can we not get more jade?
Zheng Chunqiu grabbed Liu Ju with the corner of his eyes and thought to himself that stingy old guy didn't know how much benefit he had taken Chu Qing, so he always vented his anger with Chu Qing's nostril.
You must let your leaders see what you do, otherwise who will perform?
So today's informal court meeting is basically the emperor to pay homage to everyone in advance, praise the hard work of the court officials for a year, and encourage them to continue their efforts in the coming year.
Besides, if Chu Qing was asked to pay their salary, wouldn’t it be hired by Chu Qing? That’s not what I meant.”
If the Fourth Prince had gone here to say this to the emperor today, Liu Juneng, the Minister of Revenue, was present to remind him that the emperor would beat the Fourth Prince again.
"I oppose!" The voice of Liu Ju, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, sounded: "Your Majesty, I oppose! Lord Chu has invested 6,000 people in the jade mine, all of which she owns, and the jade mine is not owned by the court. I think this move is inappropriate!"
Not to mention whether the shepherds of Vos have the financial strength to carry wheat seeds with them, even if they have them, will they bring wheat seeds instead of wheat cakes?
If you report the account at this time and say how much money you want, the old guy will definitely have to jump out and say that there is no money, and the emperor may not be willing to pay the money.
Although there is no court meeting on holiday, in order to show enthusiasm for work, senior officials from various departments will come to see it. What if the emperor also comes?
After thinking about it, Zheng Chunqiu replied: "Your Majesty, you don't need to spend money. This is just a normal task for the officials of the Ministry of Works. They receive the salary of the court, so how could they need other money?
What I mean is that only experienced and well-educated people sent by the Ministry of Works to assist Chu Qing. What Mr. Liu said is that after all, it was Chu Qing's business, but it also concerns the face of the court;
Being able to mine more jade will only benefit but not harm me;
And since Chu Qing is a chief in charge of my Ministry of Works, although she never reports to me, since I am a senior official, I should still give me help and corrections;
I just said that I would send a few people to guide me. At most, Chu Qing could not spend a few dollars on her, after all, they were paid the court's salary;
The more you think about it, the more feasible it is. Even bamboo can break through the blue bricks and grow out. Why can't you use this method to pick jade?
The emperor even felt that it was the end of the year, and it was a matter of seeing something that would make him feel better again!
"Emperor!" Zheng Chunqiu stepped out of the line and reported: "After summarizing and settlement, this year, the Ministry of Works, led by me, has been carried out step by step, and there are new ones, so that all progress of the Ministry of Works will be improved in an orderly manner, but..."
The jade mine was not from Daxuan, but from the Fourth Prince of Vos who used the three-year mining rights of the jade mine to compensate Chu Qing. It had nothing to do with the court and had nothing to do with the Ministry of Works.
The six ministers praised five of them, but only missed themselves? Master, you can’t see me, a honest and hardworking person who is hardworking and down-to-earth!
Zheng Chunqiu showed hesitation and shame: "But, the Ministry of Works Director Chu Qing had no communication with me, which led to nothing coming out under the premise that the jade mine was expanded so well. I am really ashamed!"
Although if the Ministry of Workers sends people, a lot of jade will flow into the treasury, it will also make money. It is better than the private treasury not having much input, and the treasury cannot enter, right?
Whether it is the national treasury or private treasury, it is all mine!
However, Zheng Chunqiu just assigned this matter to the Ministry of Works, which was equivalent to the Daxuan Kingdom.
They are all trying to grow vegetables in the Gobi Desert. If there is any possibility, how can they not plant all the crops on Yujing Mountain?
Wouldn't it be better to pick jade while harvesting?
Unfortunately, today the father and son are chatting, and there are no outsiders around.
Therefore, the emperor has been thinking about the feasibility of using the power of seeds to mine jade.
The emperor felt that this method was feasible and wanted to speak.
The next day, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
But he couldn't say it.
Legs are lees, you are not afraid of being held to death, you are afraid of not being able to suck blood.
"Your Majesty, now the Jade River beach is extended fifteen miles downstream, and the mine has doubled along the snow line, and the height is not capped..." Zheng Chunqiu said and gestured, reminding everyone how big the area it was.
At the same time, it was also to make more profits for the Daxuan court, rather than saying that since it was Chu Qing's business, the Ministry of Works would ignore it.
Chu Qing could ignore Shangguan, but Zheng Chunqiu wanted to consider the court and the national interests.
Zheng Chunqiu has always been based on the overall situation. As long as it is beneficial to the country, he does not care about personal gains and losses.
This is the pattern of Lord Zheng, and this is Lord Zheng’s patriotic sentiment.
