Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Old Zhu deliberately ended the morning morning and came here, and his morning morning was an hour earlier than this side.

However, he came over to watch the fun, but he just saw loneliness?
Lao Zhu wanted Dasun to call him back and open it again in front of him, so that he could comment on Dasun's way of controlling his subordinates.

However, after struggling for a while, Lao Zhu resolutely gave up this ridiculous idea.

Although Dasun's side is a small court, compared with his own big court, he looks like a king of the mountain, but no matter how you say it is also a "court", there are always some rules and regulations.

"How many days do you spend together?"

"Not sure!"

"Catch up once every ten days, and it doesn't matter if you don't."

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with it, are you going to toss people around every day?"

After hearing Nisun's last words, Lao Zhu glared at Nisun angrily.

This is an insinuation that we are torturing people to play, right?
Zhu Yunxue was stared at by Old Zhu, and lowered his head guiltyly, to hide the little embarrassment on his face.

He is diss this old Zhutou!

He even suspected that the reason why old Zhutou likes going to court is because he likes to be bowed down by civil and military officials!

Although Lao Zhu didn't catch up with the grandson's small court meeting, he had already sent someone to watch over him. Not long after he returned to Qianqing Palace, he had the compiled meeting minutes on his head.

"My lord, this is the morning content of the emperor's grandson."

Looking at the fluffy pieces of paper, Lao Zhu secretly felt that the gold content of the early court was not high.

In his opinion, the whole morning of selling vegetables in the vegetable market is more talkative than Dasun.

However, when Lao Zhu opened Dasun's meeting minutes and saw the contents inside, he was secretly surprised.

Lao Zhu was first shocked by Dasun's financial resources. Dasun had spent a lot of money on smallpox prevention and control in the capital, and now there are several million taels?

Secondly, Lao Zhu was shocked by Dasun's courage.

This grandson has a total of more than 200 million taels of silver in his hands, and he dares to do something worth 4000 to [-] million taels of silver.

When Lao Zhu saw the grandson's bold words at the Xiaochao meeting, he didn't know for a while whether to praise the grandson for his courage or scold the grandson for being overconfident.

As for what Zhu Yunxi said about getting money, Lao Zhu didn't believe a word.

If it's three or five million taels, he believes that Dasun still has the ability.But this grandson's shortfall is at least 500 million taels. Even if Tao Zhugong is reborn, he can't get so much money, right?
Seeing Dasun's conversation with Ge Yunqian, Lao Zhu finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

This grandson's nonsense is nonsense, but he still knows how to do something serious!

Just seeing the conversation between Zhu Yunxi and the three masters, Lao Zhu's old face pulled down again.

If he hadn't heard Ni Sun mention the cabinet matter to him before, based on what Ni Sun said to the three masters today, a severe beating would have been inevitable.

How much effort did he have to abolish the prime minister system, and when he turned his head, the Ni Sun was picked up again?

Fortunately, this Nisun didn't ask Wang De to stamp his seal for him, otherwise this matter would not stop without killing a few people.

Lao Zhu finished reading the grandson's court meeting minutes, fell heavily on the table, and stopped by Qin De who was beside him.

"Continue to send people to watch!"

"No matter the big or small things in the Wenhua Palace, we must write them down exactly!" …

"promise!"

After Zhu Yunxi's small court was established, many people took it as a joke.

After all, the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty were all controlled by the old emperor, and the finances, taxes, population corvee, etc. of the Ming Dynasty were also controlled by the imperial court.

The emperor's grandson's small court has no one, no money, no money, so many departments have been set up, and so many ministers have been appointed. Isn't this a child's play?

Many people even publicly ridiculed Huang Zicheng, saying that he reached the sky in one step and became Minister of the Ministry of Railways directly.

Huang Zicheng ignored the weird words of these people.

He is now a staunch emperor's grandson's party, even if the emperor's grandson farts, he thinks it is delicious!
After staying in the capital for a few days, Huang Zicheng took a dozen of his subordinates to Datong and other places for on-the-spot surveys and supervised the construction progress of the grassland construction team led by Enkehan.

After Huang Zicheng left, everyone began to taunt Qi Tai again.

Because Qi Tai often went in and out of the Wenhua Palace, he almost became half of the official there.

Qi Tai remained indifferent to the ridicule of his colleagues, and continued to run to the Wenhua Palace every day.

However, after a few months, the taunts stopped laughing.

Because it's a holiday!
The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and all the officials are guessing after dinner, what the old emperor will give them this year.

"From my point of view, it should be the same as last year. The family sent two silver carp to us."

"Not necessarily?"

"Last year, the crown prince was seriously ill, and His Majesty the Emperor was not in the mood to celebrate the festival, so only two carps were distributed."

"This year our Daming won a big victory, and now the national treasury is quite rich, so why don't we give everyone an extra two catties of fat?"

"Speaking of fat meat, the old man's mother-in-law once complained to the old man, saying that the family has not bought meat to eat this year..."

It was a householder who said this.

Due to the influence of Chen Zongli, Shangshu of the household department, all the people in the household department cried poor habitually.

"My lord, you've just said enough!"

"Although our salary is not high and we often lose money, it's not a big problem to eat meat for ten and a half months. It's better than ordinary people's life!"

Master Wang laughed when he heard the words, stopped answering, and started eating on his own.

Compared with the complaints of middle-level officials, officials such as Shangshu Shilang are much more cautious in their words and deeds.

For one thing, their salaries are high, and they don't care about this little festive reward.

Second, they have the filial piety of local officials from various places, such as ice respect, charcoal respect and so on.The local officials in the hometown will also send some local products from time to time, so that they can subsidize the expenses in the capital.

Although the atmosphere at this time is still clear, it is far less corrupt than in later generations.However, it is not a problem that the annual harvest contribution is two or three times more than the imperial salary.

Therefore, the same Beijing officials, high-ranking officials such as ministers and ministers, or Beijing officials with real power in their hands, have a much better life than ordinary Beijing officials who do calculations and do miscellaneous work.

This is also the reason why Lao Zhu often fined his salary, sometimes even the whole year's salary.

Because he knew that these people did not live on the salary of the imperial court.

Relatively speaking, for ordinary Beijing officials, Lao Zhu usually reprimands and beats the board. If it is impossible to move bricks under the city wall, it will not cut off their last source of livelihood. …

When a group of officials finished their meal in the cafeteria and went back to the Yamen, they happened to see Qi Tai pulling a cart out of Wenhua Hall.

Everyone hurried forward to ridicule him.

"Yo!"

"Isn't this Qi Shangshu? You didn't help the emperor's grandson to run a tabloid today, did you change your career to become a coachman, hahaha..."

"So who, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, not everyone can be a coachman, at least he is a close minister of the emperor!"

"How close?"

"How can I remember, the CRRC government order seems to be doing this too, hahaha!"

Qi Tai listened to everyone's ridicule, and was so angry that he scolded his mother.

These scumbags are vain scholars, and they even compare Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty with themselves!
"Hey, what's on the carriage?"

At this moment, a low-handed official kicked the bitter cloth on the carriage first, and saw a white "thigh" exposed inside, his face turned pale with fright.

Seeing this, the others thought that something serious had happened, and tore apart the bitter cloth with a whimper.

However, when the bitter cloth was torn away and the contents inside were exposed to the broad daylight, everyone fell silent in unison.

There is more than one "thigh" on the carriage, it is obviously half a slice of pork, plus two live chickens, a pot of shad, and all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables are packed in baskets!

Seeing them uncovering the bitter cloth, Qi Tai stood aside with a smile.

Originally, he wanted to keep a low profile and pull it back. Since they are so shameless, then don't blame him for being angry at Qi Tai!

The few officials who were still taunting Qitai just now secretly swallowed their saliva when they saw that there was less than sixty to seventy catties of pork on the carriage.

"Brother Qi, are you purchasing ingredients for Wenhua Palace?"

Qi Tai puffed up his chest when he heard the words.

"No way!"

"Isn't it just about to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival? The grandson of the emperor sympathized with the hard work of the officials of the Wenhua Palace who went out early and returned late every day, and specially ordered someone to purchase some chicken, duck and fish meat for everyone."

"This cart is a reward from the emperor's grandson!"

The surrounding officials felt sour when they heard the words, but they still had a little fantasy.

"Dare to ask Brother Qi, how many people are these rewards?"

"The old man is alone!"

"one person?"

The surrounding officials were stunned when they heard this.

It's true that people are more dead than others, and goods are still better than goods.

While they were still discussing whether they could distribute two fish, the emperor's grandson had already distributed them according to the basin.

When they were still imagining whether they could share two catties of fat, the emperor's grandson sent out half a pig!

"Because you taught the emperor's grandson, so the emperor's grandson pays special attention to you?"

Qi Tai shook his head again.

"no!"

"You think too highly of this old man, how many days has this old man been the grandson of the Pope?"

"Let me tell you the truth, no matter how big or small the official position is, there are all these things in the Wenhua Palace."

"The only difference is the fish in the basin, some people have a few more, some people have a few less!"

"This……"

Everyone was depressed when they heard Qi Tai's words.

The decent officials also know how to bow their hands to Qi Tai and say congratulations.Those with poor mental qualities just left silently and went back to the yamen secretly to sulk. …

But they were doomed to be sulking, hoping that the old emperor would be so generous even if the sun came out from the west!

After Qi Tai left, many officials from the Wenhua Palace left with carts.

Compared with Qi Tai's low-key, this group of people is much more public.Not to mention covering the wagon with a bitter cloth, even if the cocks on the wagon stop crowing, they all have to whip them with a whip to make them make a "clack-clack" sound, and attract the attention of all the officials. give up.

Especially the group of people who used to be cold benches in the Wenhua Palace are even more enthusiastic about this way.

Huang Zicheng happened to be in Beijing this time, and he also received a festival reward of a large carriage.

This guy dragged the carriage around the gates of the yamen, borrowing a book from the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and borrowing a pen from the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

In a word, this guy just wants to show off!

Guo Cheng, the new Minister of the Postal Department, was also rewarded with a carriage.

When he returned home with a carriage full of chicken, duck and fish, he frightened the old man who was in charge of the criminal department into a fool.

"Son, aren't you taking bribes?"

Guo Cheng happily stepped forward.

"Father, how can a son have the guts to take bribes? This is all a reward from the emperor's grandson."

"The grandson of the emperor said, it's really hard for us to work from dawn to dusk during this period of time. This reward is just a token of my heart, hehehe..."

While the two were talking, the old lady and the young lady of the Guo family rushed out to welcome them.

Seeing so many ingredients, the two women were so excited that their eyes glowed green.

Especially Guo Cheng's old lady, seeing the fat half-pig, couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Oh, this is a great kindness!"

"Old man, hurry up and take a look, this fat is at least three fingers thick, and it won't cost thirty cents a catty in the market!"

"Our family has never bought so much meat for Chinese New Year. This is really more lively than Chinese New Year!"

Hearing this, Guo Yanli also walked to the carriage, stretched out his fingers to press the fat, and couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

"It's really a festival in our family this year!"

While several people were chatting and laughing, several grandchildren of Guo Yanli also ran out of the study and clapped their hands around the carriage.

"I have meat to eat today!"

"Grandma, can we eat all-meat dishes today?"

Mrs. Guo listened to her grandson acting like a baby to her, and pampered her grandson's little nose.

"Little greedy cat!"

"Today I'll give you braised pork that doesn't mix with anything else, so you can eat your fill, hahaha!"

Guo Cheng's daughter-in-law also kept walking around the pork. Although they could eat meat once every ten days and a half months, it was rare for them to buy so much meat at one time.

Therefore, seeing so much pork at first glance, Guo Cheng's daughter-in-law was both happy and a little sad.

How can I finish this?

"Mom, we can't finish eating so much meat, can we?"

"It's a hot day now, it's a pity if it's broken, otherwise..."

Mrs. Guo immediately put on a straight face when she heard the words, and taught her a lesson.

"Shallow-eyed idiot!"

"Boil all the fat into oil, enough to feed our family for two years!" …

"After boiling the oil, the leftover oil residue sinks into the oil jar, and it can be eaten for a long time!"

"The pork legs are knocked off separately, smoked in a while, and hung on the beams of the house to save until the Chinese New Year!"

"The remaining lean meat is cooked with heavy salt, and it can be eaten for several months in jars."

"In the future, when our family cooks, if we scoop out a spoonful, won't the whole family be able to eat meat?"

Guo Cheng's daughter-in-law admired her mother-in-law's experience while secretly regretting it.

Because she just wanted to propose to send some to her mother's family.It doesn't need much, just cut two catties of meat and bring it back, it's enough to keep the parents happy for half a year.

But the mother-in-law has already assigned it so clearly, it is hard for her to say this.

Guo Cheng saw his daughter-in-law's disappointment, and secretly told his mother while he was cutting flesh with her.

"Mother, you see, my son and his wife haven't visited his father-in-law's house for several months. My wife and I will go there in the afternoon. It's not good to be empty-handed, right?"

Mrs. Guo gave her son a blank look when she heard the words, and then pointed to a piece of half-fat and half-thin pork that had been cut out a long time ago.

"It's already been prepared for you!"

"bawl!"

"After lunch in a while, bring this piece of meat with you, and then bring an old hen, and let your father-in-law and mother-in-law be blessed with the emperor's grandson!"

Seeing that his mother was so reasonable, Guo Cheng worked even harder.

"Hey!"

"My son thanked my mother on behalf of my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

Guo's mother saw her stupid son say this, and saw him sweating profusely from exhaustion, it was both distressing and funny.

While helping him wipe the sweat off his forehead, he cursed with a smile.

"You unfilial son who married a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, don't take advantage of it and act like a good boy!"
