Chapter 751 The envy of the Xu family
The third prince sat down, "Second brother, don't be wronged. I happened to want to go to the Ministry of Revenue. I didn't meet you, and my brother came up to say hello."
Zhang Jingyang snorted, "Now you're greeting, you can go down."
The third prince ate the fruit, "No, I have nothing to worry about, it's more important for my brother."
Zhang Jingyang chuckled twice, "I only realized that my brother cares so much, my brother is really touched!"
"Young brother is good to second brother, just remember it."
Zhang Jingshi swept the carriage around, then looked at Zhang Jingyang who was resting with his eyes closed. The Minister of Revenue was a fox that had been ten thousand years old. With Zhou Shuren, his second brother should have retreated, so he would not hit a wall.
Zhang Jingshi said, "Zhou Shuren is really capable this time. The two methods not only solve the difficulties of the Ministry of Revenue, but also think of each method to the heart of his father. It's a pity that Zhou Shuren can't win over."
Zhang Jingyang opened his eyes and said, "We brothers didn't have a good time to discuss together. I'm devoted to my father. Third brother, your thoughts are dangerous!"
Zhang Jingshi was disgusted, "Second brother, I have a ghost in my heart, don't paint in front of my younger brother."
Zhang Jingyang, "Today, my brother pretends that he didn't hear the third brother's words. For the sake of his brother, it's better not to say it in the future."
Zhang Jingshi felt that he had lost, "Stop."
Yao Hou Mansion, since Yao Wenqi came back from the court meeting, he regretted not killing Zhou Shuren. As long as he thought of Zhou Shuren, his mind was buzzing. If Zhou Shuren was killed earlier, he would not have developed to the point where everything went wrong today.
Yao Wenqi closed his eyes. He knew better than anyone else about the situation of the Ministry of Revenue and the treasury. The floods in the south were almost arranged. As soon as Zhou Shuren took office, his heart ached. He dared not make any big moves now. It's hateful!
Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, two days have passed. The Ministry of Revenue has met several maritime merchants and has given the price of collecting jewelry. The price has not been verified.
Xiao Qing would not consider who the master behind these maritime merchants was. He only remembered that the emperor said that he would choose whoever gave the money in the end.
When Zhou Shuren saw the money, it was the day when the salary was paid. After the salary was paid, the Ministry of Revenue also had some money, and the Ministry of Revenue officials could go home to rest with relief.
The Zhou family was resting at night, and Zhulan asked curiously, "How much money did the maritime merchant give?"
Zhou Shuren stretched out his two fingers and said, "Two hundred thousand taels."
Zhulan took a breath, "I thought it was 100,000 taels at the top."
Zhou Shuren lowered his voice and said, "There are not many 200,000 taels for these maritime merchants, and the Lord Shangshu still thinks that these silver coins are small, but unfortunately no one pays a higher price."
Zhulan was silent, "Where is the library?"
Zhou Shuren, "The library has just been cleaned up, and no one has taken action first now, but there is no hurry."
Zhulan smiled, "It's true that there is no hurry. They won't drag it until the army returns to the court."
Zhou Shuren was also happy, "Yes, who would have thought that the emperor had made clear instructions on several princes!"
He completely convinced the emperor. This is obvious. He really cheated on the princes!
Zhulan couldn't help laughing, "Now the princes will definitely scold you to death."
Zhou Shuren didn't care at all, "Anyway, they scolded me a lot."
Zhulan stopped laughing and said serious matters, "Today, the Xu family is here again. When I was chatting with the Xu family, Xu Zhao, the mistress of the Xu family, mentioned Shi Qing several times, and she was envious in her tone of speaking, and kept saying it was a pity!"
Zhou Shuren said: "It's indeed a pity that the Xu family has limited their identity."
Zhulan smiled, "So I have an idea to make the Ministry of Revenue more relaxed in the money, so that the soldiers can defend their country and the people can live and work in peace, don't you?"
Zhou Shuren suddenly understood what Zhulan was going to say, "The idea is good."
Zhulan bent her eyes, "I think it's good too. Only the first person to ask for it can get benefits!"
Zhou Shuren whispered, "Let me think about it, think about it carefully."
The next day, when the Hanlin Academy was on a rest day, Zhou Shuren was in the Ministry of Revenue. The rest day was different from the Hanlin Academy. Zhou Shuren went to the Ministry of Revenue after breakfast.
When Zhulan saw Rong Chuan having breakfast, she didn't leave, "I finally got rested, I don't need you to accompany me, go back and rest!"
Rong Chuan felt ashamed. He was not talking to his aunt. Now he didn't have to separate from Xuehan. He finally had to rest. He couldn't go to Xuehan's yard, so he thought about it and wanted to invite his aunt to appreciate the paintings.
Zhulan saw Rong Chuan blushing. She still knew about the child she had raised for many years, so she became self-indulgent, "Is there anything to ask me for?"
Rong Chuan had a good experience in the Hanlin Academy and quickly returned to normal. "Aunt, I know a good painting building, so I want to invite my aunt to take a look."
Zhulan is quite interested, "Okay, just invite me alone?"
Rong Chuan blushed, his thoughts were seen through, "And there is also Sister Xuehan."
In order not to be a light bulb, Zhulan felt that she would bring a few more, "I have been here in Beijing for some time and haven't been out yet. The weather is really good today. I only brought Xuehan too little, so I also brought Yulu and Yushuang with me. The two girls also like to draw. Yes, you and your third sister-in-law."
After saying that, Zhulan couldn't help laughing. The daughter-in-law at home couldn't understand the paintings, the second family didn't like it, and the fourth family didn't bother to watch it, and only Dong could follow her.
Rong Chuan counted the number of people and told himself in his heart that ignoring his aunt would also ignore it. It would be fine to have a few more people, just ignore it.
There are not only scholars but also many female relatives in the painting building in the capital.
Rong Chuan explained: "The female family members are on the second floor, and the men on the lower floor will not go up there."
Rong Chuan also brought him with Marquis Ning, and he realized that Marquis Ning didn’t like paintings, it was all for him, and his calligraphy and paintings were good.
