Chapter 584 Before the New Year(2/2)
This was the rule. Everyone took the remaining money, and the hard work of the previous days immediately disappeared.
Even these servants received at least three taels of silver.
As for the project funds that have not been used up, should they be returned to the Ministry of Accounts?
A hint of secret joy appeared on the officer's face.
According to Zou Xueyu, the imperial court gave the minimum amount of money and food, and there was no corruption in Yingtian Mansion. The docks and warehouses were built in full compliance with the standards set by Zhang Ergong, the Minister of Industry, or even higher. So the rest
The money should be the hard work of everyone in Yingtian Mansion.
The officer still clearly remembered the pride on the face of the governor when they were dividing the money two days ago.
Moreover, the governor also said that if Ying Tianfu returns the money and food, the Hubu will naturally be very happy, but except for the Hubu, all yamen will bear grudges against Tianfu in the future.
A few moments.
Zou Xueyu has already led people to the gate of West Chang'an.
The horses of the previous cavalry team were tied quietly under the city gate.
Zou Xueyu recognized the team he was looking for and continued to step forward to the city gate.
Zhu Shangbing, who was on duty at the palace gate today, immediately stepped forward and said, "Prefect Zou, there is the imperial city inside. You are not allowed to enter without being summoned."
Zou Xueyu took a look and recognized Zhu Shangbing, so he leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Where did it come from?"
Zhu Shangbing looked back and curled his lips: "I've already asked about it from Shanxi Province. Nothing serious happened."
Came from Shanxi Province.
Zou Xueyu's eyes turned. Now everyone in the court knew that the emperor's grandson was in Shanxi.
"Is that the memorial from the emperor's grandson?"
he asked.
Zhu Shangbing nodded: "There are memorials from Brother Xi, as well as memorials from Third Uncle, Gao Yangzhi and Cao Zhen."
"I have to go to the palace to meet the saint."
Zou Xueyu thought for a while and felt that he still had to ask for an order to solve the disharmonious problem that had arisen in Yingtian City.
Zhu Shangbing glanced at the Yingtian magistrate: "The magistrate should understand that this saint must pay attention to the rules when entering the palace."
Zou Xueyu stared and pursed his lips.
Then, under Zhu Shangbing's silent gaze, he waved his sleeves.
Just when Zhu Shangbing and the policemen who followed Zou Xueyu thought he was about to give up.
Zou Xueyu snorted coldly: "I will go to the General Affairs Department immediately!"
After saying that, he ignored Zhu Shangbing and continued to lead the people to the south to the general affairs envoy Si Yamen.
Zhu Shangbing looked at Zou Xueyu's retreating figure, frowned and muttered: "Who provoked this?"
The affairs of Yingtian Mansion are beyond his control.
However, other things can be decided.
With a murderous look on his face, Zhu Shangbing turned around and looked at the officers and soldiers under his command in front of the palace gate, and said loudly: "Everyone is standing still! After the watch is over, let's continue to go to the martial arts hall to regain our place today!"
That was a big gamble involving ten taels of silver.
For a moment, there was a murderous atmosphere in front of the palace gate.
And within the imperial city.
But it is a peaceful and joyful atmosphere.
As the most noble woman in the Ming Dynasty today, Tang Queqing, the concubine, has officially begun to take over all matters of the entire palace.
Inside and outside the palace, from top to bottom, a word from the Concubine Taisun could often make all the civil and military officials in the dynasty cater to her.
East Palace.
The prince often accompanied the emperor in the front, and the father and son were busy with state affairs. The East Palace became the base of Tang Queqing, the concubine.
The eunuchs and female officials from all the treasurers of the inner palace were all summoned here by Tang Queqing today.
Inside the side hall.
Tang Queqing leaned on the soft couch, holding the copper heater in his arms, and looked at the large and small royal stewards in front of him.
"This year, all the congratulatory gifts from the royal palaces in various places have been sent out. I would like to thank you all, but I would like to reward those royal gifts as soon as possible. I have seen the things, and they are not valuable. I just want them to show my sincerity."
"It's our duty, and slaves don't dare to take credit."
In the palace, all the eunuchs and female officials spoke out.
Tang Queqing added: "If word spreads again, although the Ming Dynasty now has more money and food, it cannot afford to waste it. The rewards for the palace are transferred from left hand to right hand, so that each government does not have to waste time and money to provide for the palace.
Purchase."

Immediately with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, Concubine Taisun, all the servants have warned you. Even if someone wanted to send New Year's gifts to Taisun's Mansion a few days ago, they were asked by the servants to return them."
Tang Queqing nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Now that we are done with things outside the palace, the empresses everywhere in the palace should also prepare gifts. Pick up some rare but inexpensive ones, or practical ones. Please take the trouble to accompany me these days.
Please ask me to go to the various palaces more often. Ladies and ladies are all very precious, and now it’s more important for me, the younger generation, to spend more time with me.”
"The concubine's filial piety is praised by the ladies every day."
Tang Queqing smiled shyly: "After much thought, I will talk to the outsiders of the palace. If any of the empress's family members are in the capital, they would bring Xiaonian to the palace for a meal. I will go to your majesty and the prince's place.
I will tell you."
"My slave has taken note of it."
At this time, Tang Queqing looked at the people in front of him: "You have also worked hard for a whole year. Let's make it clear that you and the people outside each have three taels of New Year's money, and you are not allowed to deduct one tael, save one tael, and give out one tael.
I have also prepared some New Year’s stuff for you. Although it’s not worth much, it’s something that the people below don’t have, so you don’t have to steal it from them. Then, go back and give the people below a piece of fruit and pastry each, and you can eat it yourself.
Or send it home, it doesn’t matter.”
"The Concubine has a kind heart, and the servants will never dare to take advantage of her."
Inside the palace, there was a peaceful atmosphere.
But outside, there were sounds of footsteps.
The visitor is Sun Gou'er, the chief steward of the inner palace.
Sun Gou'er stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Concubine, there are memorials and family letters from the great grandson entering the palace. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are waiting for you to come over."
Hearing this, Tang Queqing's face lit up with joy and he stood up immediately.
"I'll go right away."
