Chapter 1738 Trust
The latest website: Zhulan, "So this year, charcoal fires are expensive. If the price is not controlled, it will continue to rise."
Zhou Shuren said, "Firewood is not cheap either. I have seen many people selling firewood."
"Well, if you work harder every day, you can sell several times a day."
Zhouhou Mansion has its own Zhuangzi, so there is no need to buy firewood. Zhuangzi will send firewood to Beijing every day. The whole Marquis Mansion is very large, with many masters and many servants. Daily firewood consumption is not counted, but charcoal fire is the big one.
It is conceivable how much the entire Hou Mansion consumes in a day, and the monthly money is also a considerable amount. Without an official family with a clean family background, it is not considered a favor, and life is not as glamorous as it seems.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "Many officials paid their salaries in advance this month."
The court's salary has been raised several times, which is not bad, but it's a pity that the winter is sad.
Zhulan said: "It's fine if you don't borrow money from the treasury."
Zhou Shuren snorted, "Don't even think about it."
Advance salary is already his biggest bottom line, and the emperor will not allow it. Every money in the treasury must be spent wisely.
The sea battle that happened last time gave the emperor a sense of urgency, and he would look at the coastline map drawn from time to time. Thinking of this, Zhou Shuren had a headache. Building a defense line requires money, which is money in a bottomless pit.
In the evening, the whole family had a reunion dinner in the main courtyard. The clothes were still plain and did not change into bright clothes. Who made the Zhouhou Mansion and the royal family feel close!
Other officials can live a normal life after a month, Zhouhou's mansion is still keeping a low profile, at least the emperor is relieved to see it, Zhou Shuren also thinks of the emperor's good.
The next day, Ming Teng went to the morning court with his grandfather, and after the anniversary, Marquis Rong An was going to make an official appearance at the court.
The end of life is about Ming Teng. He stood in the court hall. He was obviously very young, but his position was conspicuous. After a year of silence, Ming Teng had changed a lot. After researching, his mind became more and more stable.
The emperor was very pleasantly surprised when he saw it. He praised Ming Teng's pure filial piety, etc., and then took Ming Teng away immediately.
Mrs. Wen is so sad and depressed. The Wen family is the mother family of the prince. The emperor suppressed the Wen family several times, but he trusted Zhou Shuren unconditionally. Everyone can feel the emperor's love for Ming Teng. The surname Rong is really advantageous!
Elder Wen stabbed,
"Marquis Zhou is very lucky."
Zhou Shuren, "Who made me have a good mother! No, it should be said who made me reincarnate?"
Elder Wen, "..."
The old man's mouth, he shouldn't be the cheapest.
Boss Wen left in a huff, but the others came over to congratulate him. They all knew that the emperor wanted to use Rong Mingteng more, and there was nothing he could do about it because of jealousy. The surname was one thing. They thought that the Rong family was thin, and the emperor trusted Rong Mingteng and was not afraid of Rong. The clan grows bigger.
Zhou Shuren replied politely, and when a group of people left, Zhou Shuren walked slowly with his hands behind his back.
The second prince looked up at the sky, why is it so difficult to win over the people of Zhouhou Mansion!
Zhou Shuren didn't know the depression of the second prince, he was thinking about the third son, Changlian's life will be difficult after winter, even if the court controls the merchants to take the opportunity to seek violence, and the aristocratic family has its own way to make profits.
Zhou Shuren was gratified that this was Changlian's opportunity, and after enough training, it would be Changlian's capital.
After leaving the palace, Zhou Shuren saw King Qi, and when he saw that he was standing beside the household carriage, he was puzzled, "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"
King Qi said: "Private matters."
Zhou Shuren didn't get into the carriage, "My lord, please tell me."
King Qi, "Everyone in the capital knows that the Hou Mansion has good winter vegetables. I would like to borrow some vegetable farmers."
Zhou Shuren thought it was a personal matter, "It's all trivial."
King Qi lowered his voice again, "Marquis Zhou, do you still remember the good breed?"
Zhou Shuren reacted for a while, "Cultivate good seeds for food?"
"Yes, I heard from Brother Huang that it is stable this year."
Zhou Shuren really didn't hear the emperor mention it, he probably wanted to wait until it was completely stable, "This is a good thing."
Increasing food production is a good thing for the people, especially in the years of food production reduction, it is a shot in the arm.
King Qi was not sure whether the emperor should take the credit for himself or give it to his father. It was supposed to be his father's, but when his father was unable to do what he wanted, it was the emperor himself who did it.
After King Qi left, Zhou Shuren sat in the carriage of the household department and touched it. King Qi wanted to test some of the emperor's plans, but unfortunately the emperor didn't tell him.
Not long after Zhou Shuren returned to the household department, Ming Teng came, "You came here right after you left the palace?"
Ming Teng nodded, "Well, the emperor has arranged an errand for his grandson."
Zhou Shuren was not surprised, the emperor would definitely use Ming Teng again, "What errand?"
Ming Teng, "The emperor asked his grandson to be in charge of the grain."
This really surprised him, he thought he would be arranged to guard the palace!
Zhou Shuren smiled, "This is trust in you."
"Um?"
Zhou Shuren said what King Qi said, "If there are no accidents, there will be results next year. These years of hard work will be successful. Doesn't it mean that the emperor trusts you by letting you take responsibility?"
It was arranged with great trust.
Ming Teng also laughed, "It's a good thing that benefits the country and the people."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "The emperor also gave you some achievements for nothing."
Ming Teng also wanted to understand, "The grandson will not disappoint the emperor."
Zhou Shuren said: "The Rong family is finally the emperor, just remember it."
Ming Teng nodded, "Grandson will keep his mouth shut."
He knows his identity, Marquis of Rong An, this is the royal family's trust in the Rong family.
Zhou Shuren was happy for Ming Teng, and felt sour again. His achievements are all his own. Ming Teng is good, and the emperor has to take care to arrange it, but he is more happy, "This time you have a banquet, which means you are in the capital. status, you don’t need to be stage fright.”
Ming Teng smiled, "Grandson understands."
The Rong clan has few people, but they are full of confidence!
In Zhouhou Mansion, Zhu Lan looked at the posts that Liu Jia had selected, and said with a smile, "It's pretty good, let's just take this one."
Liu Jia was delighted after hearing this, but she was afraid that if she didn't have enough vision to make a good choice, she would lose face to the Rong family, "I'll go back and arrange someone to write a post."
Zhulan smiled and nodded, "Don't be so tired and take your time."
Liu Jia understood, Li waited for his daughter-in-law to leave, and said with a smile: "This child is still not confident."
Zhulan, "Take your time, who didn't get over it little by little."
Li Shi said: "My daughter-in-law is sometimes in a trance when dealing with the affairs of the house. I can't believe that my daughter-in-law can handle it so well."
"It's even bragging, well, you are the best, and a child can be taught."
Mrs. Li laughed, and said again: "I don't know how Mingyun and his wife are doing recently."
Zhulan wasn't worried, "Didn't I write last time that the vegetables we planted had increased in price, so don't worry about their couple. I think the young couple's life is quite enjoyable."
Mrs. Li, "It's different to have a wife by your side."
Zhulan also laughed, it was indeed different, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted about some things in the capital again, when Mrs. Li suddenly said, "The princess is not too young to give birth soon."
Zhulan counted the days, "It's really coming soon."
