The Daying Treasury was not under the internal jurisdiction of the palace, but under military control. Zhu Jinqing appointed a civilian official to be in charge of the Daying Treasury. The items in the treasury belonged to his father, and Zhu Jinqing guarded it extremely strictly.
The civilian official in charge of the treasury was named Yan. The Jin army had already taken over the Daying treasury, but they still let him continue to manage the treasury.
When Yan Canjun heard that His Highness the King of Jin was coming, he was so frightened that he hurried over to see him.
Seeing that he was about forty years old and relatively thin and gentle, Guo Song asked, "Has Yan Canjun always been in charge of the warehouse?"
Yan Canjun smiled bitterly and said: "Bizhi was originally the chief clerk of Zuozangku. When Zhu Si moved the capital, Zhu Jinqing said that there was a shortage of people to manage the treasury here, so he came to Zuozangku to look for someone. No one else was there, and it happened that only Beizhi was in the official room.
, he took his humble job here and took charge of Dayingku."
"It's unfortunate!"
Yan Canjun hesitated and said, "Actually, I'm very lucky."
"Why?" Guo Song asked puzzledly.
"Beizhi is from Chang'an. His family is in Chang'an. He really doesn't want to go to Luoyang. All the other colleagues from Zuo Zangku were forced to go to Luoyang. Only Beizhi was lucky enough to stay."
"I see!"
Guo Song nodded, "Let me take a look at the warehouse!"
"Your Highness, please!"
Yan Canjun hurriedly led Guo Song into the warehouse. The warehouse consisted of two main halls, front and rear, which were divided into more than a dozen compartments. Each compartment looked very huge, with various large utensils neatly stacked.
"Ten days ago, Zhu Si requested that all the bronzes be shipped to Luoyang. The bronzes have already been sent away. I have sent away more than 4,000 pieces here, as well as bronzes from the palace and various temples. I heard that even foot washing
There are more than 10,000 bronze basins in total, and a bronze Buddha here alone weighs five thousand kilograms. It's a pity that Your Highness came late."
Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "Those bronzes are still in Shangluo. If I can intercept them, they will be shipped back soon."
Yan Canjun suddenly said excitedly: "That's great!"
At this time, Guo Song stopped in front of a warehouse. This was a jade warehouse. Most of the jades had been packed into boxes, but the lids of the boxes had not yet been nailed with wood. The boxes were filled with all kinds of jades, large and small.
The carvings are exquisite, and there are more than a dozen screens of various types. What's more important is that most of them are carved from real Hetian jade, unlike the Afghan jade and Beijing white jade from Uighur.
But there are still some that should be Lantian jade and Dushan jade.
Guo Song walked up to a white jade Guanyin as tall as one person. It was a jade statue carved from a large seed material. It weighed several hundred kilograms. It was probably the largest piece of white jade seed material in history. Judging from the characteristics of the scene, it was sprinkled with gold.
, the jade quality is mature and as delicate as fat, which amazed Guo Song.
"Your Highness, there are more than 3,600 pieces of jade and jade pendants here, and each piece is clearly listed in the account book."
"Aren't there all big things here? And jade pendants?"
"There is a jade pendant!"
Yan Canjun walked to the corner and opened a piece of dusty oilcloth. There were two large wooden boxes hidden underneath. He took out the key and opened the box. Inside were various kits, which should be jade pendants.
"These are valuable items. During the Jingyuan Rebellion, the rebel soldiers rushed in but did not find the jade pendants, so they hid them in a lowly position."
Guo Song knelt down and opened several kits. They were all high-quality white jade. Most of them were in the shape of jade bis, jade rings and the like. They were bright, warm and delicate. It could be seen that they were all made of seed materials. This is understandable. They are made of mountain materials.
Mining was not easy. At that time, jade was mainly picked up, and what was picked up was naturally seed jade. The Tang Dynasty operated Anxi, and a large amount of seed jade was sent to Chang'an. Moreover, these were the private possessions of the emperor, of course.
Fine white jade.
"They are all beautiful jade!"
Guo Song sighed in admiration, stood up and said with a smile: "Can I take these two boxes of jade away?"
Yan Canjun hesitated and said: "As long as His Highness signs the humble post, it's okay to take him away!"
"I'll sign it for you later, and I'll use these jade pendants to reward my subordinates."
Yan Canjun suddenly realized that His Highness the King of Jin was now the Lord of the Great Wall. He was asked politely, but he was still hesitant. He wished he could give himself a slap. He was so stupid.
He hurriedly said: "These items are His Highness's trophies and can be disposed of at Your Highness's discretion."
Guo Song nodded and said with a smile: "Except for the jade, everything else has been registered and will be handed over to the Taiyuan Prime Minister's Office. Of course, the things will not be moved to Taiyuan, they will still be kept here, but they will be taken over by the government and will continue to be owned by the government in the future.
It is managed by Yan Shenjun."
Yan Canjun understood the implication of King Jin's words, and he officially joined the ranks of civil servants in King Jin's palace.
He was overjoyed and said quickly: "In this humble position, I must do my best to manage things well."
Guo Song walked to the entrance of the treasury, thought for a while and said to Yan Canjun: "Let me give you another errand! There is a Palace City Department under the Taiyuan Shibu Department, which is responsible for managing Jinyang Palace and government offices. There is a department order and a
Shu Cheng, now I plan to add another Shu Cheng who will be responsible for the management of Taiji Palace and Daming Palace. You will be responsible for it. Daying Treasury is one of your responsibilities. In addition, you will also be responsible for the repair of the two palaces.
People will take care of you, etc. It will be designated as the sixth grade, and I will ask Jing Zhaoyin to arrange a dozen more people for you later."
The reason why Guo Song reused Yan Junjun was that he discovered a detail: the keyholes of two large boxes were full of dust, which showed that this person did not take advantage of his authority to steal valuable items such as jade pendants, and he was a serious and competent official.
Yan Wei was so moved that his eyes turned red. He was just a low-level official from the ninth grade warehouse, and no one took him seriously. However, His Highness the King of Jin used him so highly, which made him feel a great kindness. He was deeply
Shi Yili said: "I will definitely fulfill my duties and never let His Highness down."
"Okay! You will be busy soon. I promise to restore the 1,500 yuan of rations per person per month in the palace. Later, General Yao will send someone to find you and arrange a batch of daily necessities. Then you and Li Shan
Handover."
"Wei Chen understands."
Guo Song explained a few more words, then left Daming Palace and went directly to the official office of Jingzhao Mansion.
The streets of Chang'an are still bustling with people, no different from usual times. The soldiers patrolling the streets have changed, but most people don't realize it. Only a lot of people hear a series of muffled sounds in the middle of the night and think it's thunder.
, no one takes it to heart.
And no one knew about the fierce battle that took place in Xineiyuan, so that the Jin army had taken control of the entire city, and Chang'an was still as peaceful as before.
This is also the effect Guo Song wants, otherwise he would not send Zhang Yun here and try his best to seize the city. Wouldn't it be simpler to cooperate inside and outside?
Guo Song did not ride a horse, but sat in a spacious carriage to go to the official office of Jingzhao Mansion. He looked at the bustle outside the carriage through the curtains of the carriage. It had been many years since he left Chang'an. Chang'an was still the same, but he was no longer
Back then, Guo Song's memories of his previous life had gradually been shattered with the passage of time. He could no longer remember many things, or in other words, he had completely integrated into this era.
Perhaps the Tang Dynasty he lived in was a Tang Dynasty in another dimension, and it was no longer the same Tang Dynasty he had learned about in books, but these were not important. What was important was, what could he do in this era?
In deep thought, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the government office. Jingzhao Yin Du Wenxing and a group of officials were already waiting at the gate. Du Wenxing had seen Guo Song and saw him getting off the carriage. He quickly stepped forward to salute, "Welcome minister Du Wenxing respectfully welcomes Jin.
Your Highness!"
Guo Song looked at him and asked in surprise: "Have I seen Du Shijun? He looks familiar!"
Du Wenxing smiled slightly and said: "Weichen once worked as secretary-general in Shuofang Jiedu Mansion for several years. Weichen was from the capital, and later he was transferred to the Jinzou Hall of the Jiedu Mansion in the capital. That year, His Highness was riding horses in the capital.
ball......."
Guo Song suddenly realized, pointed at Du Wenxing and smiled: "You are Du Canjun!"
"It's Wei Chen!"
Guo Song remembered that there were several civil servants in the memorial hall who worked very hard to provide logistics during polo matches. Du Wenxing was one of them, but his appearance seemed to have changed a lot.
"But you must have been fatter at that time. You have changed a lot!"
"Later on, Wei Chen fell ill and lost weight. The change was really great. Not to mention Your Highness, even my fellow clan members don't recognize me."
"I didn't expect Du Canjun to be Jing Zhaoyin. I really wouldn't have recognized him unless you told me."
"I feel ashamed to say it. I would like to introduce it to His Highness."
Du Wenxing introduced the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to Guo Song one by one. Of course, this was with Guo Song's prior permission. The officials of the Jingzhao Mansion were temporarily stationary and performed their duties. Only then did Du Wenxing dare to introduce the officials to Guo Song.
introduce.
After introducing the officials, Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "I have always been paying attention to the situation in the capital. I should say that you have done a good job and managed the Jingzhao Mansion in an orderly manner. It has not been affected at all by Zhu Si's move to the capital. I have always said that power
The struggle is a high-level matter and has nothing to do with you. In Guo Song, there is no such thing as an emperor and a minister. As long as the local official performs his duties, is supported by the people, and is a good official with ability and achievements, I will let him
He will continue to stay in office and continue to be reused!"
Guo Song's public statement won a round of applause from everyone. Everyone's previous worries disappeared and they all gathered around Guo Song and entered the official office of Jingzhao Mansion.
