Looking at the little girl's bright eyes, he felt sad and gently rubbed her hair: "Silly Yue'er, as long as you have this intention, I won't use your money."
"Aye, you are wrong."
Her expression was quite serious. Just when Emperor Ming Yan thought she was going to make some big point, she said: "Is there still too much silver? Look, if you have ten thousand taels of gold, how can you make a thousand taels of gold?"
Things can be done easily. If you have ten thousand taels, it will be very convenient to do things worth ten thousand taels. As long as you have enough silver, you can do many meaningful things calmly!"
Emperor Ming Yan was speechless.
He felt that this girl was really a treasure given to him by God, and she could not be more considerate.
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and said: "How many people in this world have read poetry and books, and are rich in wealth, but they are far less knowledgeable than I, Yue'er."
"It doesn't matter if they don't understand! Just teach them to understand!"
Tang Shiyue said: "Let me tell you, this is a problem of concepts. Everyone has been spoiled by the 'Shengshi Renjun'. When it comes to paying money, everyone wants to take advantage of the national treasury and the great power of the country."
, The national treasury is rich, why should they provide the money themselves? But they don’t think about it, this national treasury is also saved penny by penny, and everyone wants to dig into their own hands, and eventually they will be left with nothing.”
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and said: "Then what do I, Yue'er, have to say?"
"That's why I need someone to stand out! I think I'm very suitable." Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "I do charity, what is charity, public interest, the benefit of the public! Then you can give me a name.
Let's set up a 'public welfare fund' or something. My money does not go directly into the national treasury, nor does it go to the emperor. This money is used to do things that are beneficial to everyone and the people, saving some frogs in the well...
"
The more Tang Shiyue talked, the more excited she became. She stood up and carried her hands behind her back, looking smart: "Why do you think I'm the most suitable? I'm a commoner, I'm a woman! They can't come to me, and I can cheat on me. They can only come to me."
Aye, I'm looking for Aye, I happen to have a bit of a reputation, and it's easy for you to talk to me... right? Isn't that right? Aye!"
She looked at him with her little eyes, and her face said "I'm so smart."
The smile on Emperor Ming Yan's face never stopped.
Although what she said is simple, the way is definitely feasible, and the significance of this matter is far greater than reality.
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and said: "Yue'er has such a heart, Aye is really happy."
He felt sentimental for a moment, hugged her back and patted her gently: "When Aye goes back and thinks about it, he will ask someone to talk to Yue'er. Don't worry, Yue'er, I will make up for the money Yue'er misses in private."
"That's not necessary!" Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "'Parents are here, no selfless wealth.' All my money belongs to Aye and Auntie! Aye, do you think I am uneducated?"
Emperor Ming Yan laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, Yue'er is right, my Yue'er is the most knowledgeable."
So Emperor Ming Yan returned to the palace and spoke to the prince, who then came over to have a conversation with Tang Shiyue.
The family secretly discussed it, and the next day, Emperor Ming Yan issued an order to award the original Anping Marquis Mansion to Tang Shiyue.
Tang Shiyue went to see the garden under the leadership of the eunuch. Then Tang Shiyue said on the spot that he had no virtue or talent and was not suitable to live in such a good garden. He was willing to dedicate this garden to make some contributions to the people of Dayan.
, open an amusement park, and then hand over 30% of the revenue to the state treasury.
Naturally the eunuch said he couldn't make the decision, but Tang Shiyue insisted.
At this time, His Royal Highness "happened" to pass by, and the two of them knew each other. Tang Shiyue asked the prince to help her name "Deshan Garden". After the prince finished mentioning the words, he asked her what the name meant, and then Tang Shiyue
Yue sent the love letter.
As the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness naturally cannot speak lightly. Now that the name of the garden has been written, he can only accept the love letter for the time being, saying that he will return to the palace to seek instructions from His Majesty.
Later, Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict, saying that I did not want to compete with the people for profit, but because of the innocent heart of Mrs. Enfu County, he issued an edict to set up a "Deshan Gold", which would not be included in the national treasury, but would be managed by a dedicated person, and would be used exclusively for good deeds among the people.
.
Mrs. Enfu County wrote another love letter, saying that the emperor, although it was a merchant matter and did not dare to alarm the court, but for the sake of doing a good deed, please send someone to "supervise" the matter.
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty promised, and the Ministry of Household Affairs sent people to deliver the goods every quarter.
Well, once the monarch and his ministers... no, the monarch and his wife get along well with each other. Before the civil and military officials came to express their opinions, the matter here was already decided.
All civil and military officials were at a loss.
Your Majesty, this is not a matter of a share of virtue and kindness gold! If you are so arrogant, what do you ask other merchants to do? Especially what should the imperial merchants do? Follow or not?
But the emperor said... This matter is a spontaneous matter among the people. If there is a good intention, how can we block the door to do good?
This incident gave rise to several theories,
The most mainstream theory is that the emperor gave this garden as a favor and as a warning. Then Tang Shiyue probably heard that this garden was the residence of a rebellious minister, so he overthought it, panicked, and became afraid.
Then he came up with such a compromise, turning the disadvantage into an advantage and getting the emperor's favor. As for why His Royal Highness happened to pass by... What do you think? She is the Empress of Fortune!
Many people also expressed this: Empress Fu is very resourceful, so this way of handling the matter is actually the most appropriate.
This conjecture seems to be the most likely.
No matter the Empress Fu, the Prince or the Emperor, they all have a clever word. No one deliberately wants to take the money out of anyone's pocket. They are all gentlemen.
Only the officials accompanying the Northern Patrol were dubious.
But even people who have seen the emperor and Tang Shiyue getting along would never have imagined that their relationship could be as good as this. They even used some tricks to set up a situation beforehand. At most, they felt that Tang Shiyue was maintaining his favor? The emperor, on the other hand,
...just go with the flow?
The people from the Capital Chamber of Commerce finally took action and posted a message to her through Meng Dansui.
Originally, because of the word "Yuefang", she should have done this when she first arrived in Chang'an, but she was a third-grade married woman after all, and she felt that she was not from the same place, so she hesitated.
Now, although she is still a third-grade concubine, this matter involves everyone's interests, so we have to meet and discuss it.
Tang Shiyue was very interested and made thorough preparations for this.
Before her foot was completely healed, the doctor was called in, and she tied her foot tightly a few times, then put on shoes, so that it was no longer visible when she walked.
She walked back and forth several times, then came out and waved to Meng Dansui: "Let's go!"
Emperor Ming Yan finished his work in the palace and was about to leave the palace to see his precious daughter. Gu Jiuxing stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the little princess is not at home today. She went to Qinghe Building at the invitation of the Chamber of Commerce."
"What!" Emperor Ming Yan immediately became angry: "How dare those people from the Chamber of Commerce cause trouble for her?" (To be continued)
