e weather is quite comfortable. When it gets cold in winter, when Chen Jingzong is on the road in the morning and evening, it will be dark!so it can be seen that Chen Jingzong can really insist on goi...it is the 23rd of the 12th lunar month on this side of the capital, and officials will also take annual leave from that day until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
before the holiday, on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Jingshun convened a group of Beijing officials and held another imperial meeting.
there are two main things in this meeting: one is to sum up the political achievements of officials in the past year, and the other is to look forward to what they will do after the next year and what goals they want to achieve.
Emperor Jing Shun was not very talkative. He sat high on the dragon chair and asked the cabinet headed by Chen Tingjian to preside over the meeting. He said a few more words when he needed to speak.
when he heard that the Ministry of Household had finished its accounts, this year the State Treasury had an unexpectedly surplus of 582000 silver in addition to the family income of Xiang Wangfu. Jingshun Emperor laughed.
during the reign of the former emperor, the treasury could hardly make ends meet year after year. If the former emperor wanted some money for his own pleasure, he had to wrestle with the cabinet to win it. Later, he was secretly scolded by Qingliu.
after he ascended the throne, he used wise officials, but it took more than a decade to fill the previous hole, and in recent years it has been much better, but the income and outflow of the treasury are only basically the same. he may have a surplus of tens of thousands of taels this year, and he lost money the next year. in short, he often listens to the six ministers who are poor and wants to share money from the treasury.
in June this year, Chen Tingjian was promoted to the first assistant, and the first thing he did when he took office was to write a letter urging officials at all levels to implement the "examination Law," which changed the previous way of relying entirely on the Ministry of officials to examine and verify the political achievements of officials. Instead, it was handed over to the six ministries and procuratorates to register according to the account books and jointly inspect the officials month by month. As soon as the
examination Law was issued, it clearly defined the responsibilities of officials in various places, and there was a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, so that officials no longer dared to neglect their duties, and when they should do what they should do, the heads of households should be supervised and reprimanded in time for paying taxes and grains, and the localities did not dare to default on taxes and grain any more, and the state treasury naturally had money.
the new law has been implemented for half a year and has achieved such remarkable results. Jingshun Emperor believes that if we continue to adhere to the new law, the national treasury will only become more and more abundant in the future!
the people love money, and so do emperors. When Chen Tingjian just proposed the implementation of the examination law, a group of ministers filed a letter against it, citing various reasons to follow the old system. Emperor Jingshun also hesitated and swayed, or Chen Tingjian swore that this law would enable officials to do practical things and increase the income of the state treasury. Coupled with the fact that Empress Qi also thought that the law would be feasible, Emperor Jingshun strengthened his attitude and fully supported Chen Tingjian. Put all the other voices down!
now that the new law has taken effect, it has severely silenced the mouths of officials who are still unconvinced in their hearts, and Emperor Jingshun is proud of Chen Tingjian!
when Shang Shu of the Ministry of Household finished, Emperor Jingshun praised Chen Tingjian unsparingly, and finally cared about Chen Tingjian's body: "Old Pavilion worked hard to implement the new law, but I actually saw white hair on my head in a short period of half a year. I can't bear it. National affairs are urgent. The old Pavilion should also cherish his body. In this way, 12000 will be set aside from the surplus of the treasury this year for the elder cabinet to recuperate. "
Chen Tingjian hurriedly knelt down and refused: "Thank you for the trust of the emperor and entrust the burden of the first assistant to the minister. Everything I have done is my duty. Since I have received my salary, I should no longer be rewarded by the emperor."
Emperor Jing Shun said with a smile, "meritorious deeds should be rewarded, and mistakes should be punished. The merits of the old government are obvious to all, so there is no need to refuse."
other ministers immediately supported the emperor and urged Chen Tingjian to accept it.
Chen Tingjian had no choice but to kowtow and thank him.
Emperor Jing Shun did not give the silver reward directly to Chen Tingjian, but sent a father-in-law to send the reward to the Chen mansion with great fanfare, so that the people of the whole city could know that Chen Tingjian had done meritorious service and let Chen Tingjian's family feel holy and gracious. As soon as the
edict arrived, the masters of each courtyard of Chen Fu hastened to come to the main courtyard to receive the edict.
the princess Huayang also knelt beside her mother-in-law.
it was the father-in-law of the pony. In addition to rewarding 12000 yuan of silver, Emperor Jingshun also gave two cases of jewelry, silk and satin, and rouge gouache, each of which honored Chen Tingjian's family.
(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({});
everyone thanked Ron.
Father Ma received the reward, then went to Huayang to have a talk, and then said goodbye.
as soon as he left, the atmosphere in the Chen courtyard relaxed. Luo Yuyan smiled and said to Sun, "Mother, when I was a guest outside, I often heard other government wives praise my father's examination method. At that time, I didn't quite understand. Now the emperor has rewarded his father, so it can be seen that my father's new law is really powerful!"
Yu Xiu can't talk about this kind of scene, but she also knows that her father-in-law played a good role in the first place, and she is proud of it and has a bright face.
Sun looked at Huayang: "what new law is not new I have seen some, but I have never understood it. Can the princess understand it"
Huayang naturally understands that although the new law of a father in a previous life has only been implemented for four years, the amount of money in the treasury surplus is getting more and more year after year, and the fourth year is as high as NT $4.002 million!
moreover, the new law of father-in-law is not only the "law passed by the examination", but also several other important reforms. It is a pity that father-in-law died of illness, and before various reforms were deeply implemented, former opposition officials rushed to take advantage of their younger brother's opportunity to convict father-in-law to demand that a series of reforms of father-in-law be abolished and the old system restored.
Huayang doesn't care about the feud between officials. She only knows that the reform of father-in-law has given money to the court and made people live and work in peace and contentment. The father is a good official, and those who oppose father-in-law have ulterior motives!
at this time, Sun, Luo Yuyan, Yu Xiu and even the children were all looking at Huayang, and Huayang explained it to everyone in an easy-to-understand way.
Sun said with admiration, "the princess is so clever that the old man told me several times, but I didn't understand."
Hua Yang believes this is strange, mother-in-law is very wise, just deliberately flatter her.
after receiving the will, everyone was happy and broke up.
soon after Huayang returned to Siyi Hall, Sun asked his servant girl to send a box of silver, a box of jewelry, a box of rouge, and several pieces of Shu brocade.
the two cases of Shu brocade presented by Emperor Jingshun today are not all Shu brocades. Huayang thought that her mother-in-law probably picked out all the Shu brocades and gave them to her.
Huayang chose a pink one and told Chaolan, "take this one to the Princess House and let Wu run make two pieces of razor according to the size of the eldest and second lady, and make some small things for them with the rest of the material."
she likes Wanyi very much, and Wanqing's little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter.
Chaoyun smiled and said, "you two ladies are really lucky to be loved by the princess so much."
Chaoyue: "it is also because the horse has won the favor of the princess that our princess loves the two young ladies."
Huayang: …
because Chen Jingzong used to be open-mouthed, she can't listen to "love me and my dog" now!
after all, the annual holiday is coming soon. Chen Jingzong came back early tonight, and the setting sun is still there.
he scrubbed the front as usual and came back after changing into regular clothes.
Huayang is playing against Chaolu.
after receiving the look from Mr. Ma Ye, she looked at the princess who only looked at the chessboard and retreated to show her wisdom.
Chen Jingzong sat cross-legged in the position of Chaolu, glanced at the chessboard and put down a piece.
his hand reached out, and his fingers were long and jointed, full of strength, but not bony.
Huayang saw his hand, and Yu Guang noticed that his cuff, dark cyan embroidered Hangzhou silk material, was half-old.
Chen Fu has four embroidery Niangs, like the three brothers of Chen Jingzong, who can get two ordinary silk robes and two fine cloth robes every season, which is very simple for the princes of the first assistant family.At the end of the day, there were only a handful of people who could hear the princess's sweet words, all of which were the elders of the princess.after the pleasantries, Huayang visited Tian first.th...
