Wanli Youming

Chapter 439

Chapter 439

In the 13th year of Wanli, in the golden autumn, the jade dragon danced all over the sky, dancing pear blossoms all over the city, making the sky white.

Keng!

And a gong sounded, and at this moment, Yu Shenxing and Zhao Nanxing who were chatting in the restaurant suddenly appeared in Qipan Street, which was full of rotten silver.

Then, Yu Shenxing saw that two large boxes of silver dollars that were as white as the earth were opened in front of a house, and a team of green-robed officials and green-robed officials appeared here, along with many red cards.

And an official at the front was holding a document, handing over to a young scholar who came out of the house. Not long after, the young scholar ordered his servants to bring in two large boxes of silver ingots.

"That's the mansion of Shen Yucheng (Shen Li), the right servant of the Ministry of Officials!"

At this moment, Zhao Nanxing said something with a complicated expression.

Yu Shenxing asked, "Then what happened to these two large boxes of silver dollars?"

"Looking at the sign of 'Emperor Ming Mining Industry' on the plaque, it should be a subscription coupon for the distribution of profits; it turns out that His Majesty really wants to distribute the profits to the people!"

Zhao Nanxing couldn't hide his disappointment and continued.

Yu Shenxing slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems that we can share a lot!"

Zhao Nanxing said: "I guess it's quite a lot."

Yu Shenxing then looked back at Zhao Nanxing and asked, "Did you buy it?"

Zhao Nanxing shook his head slightly, and then said: "No! I have never advocated that the court should benefit the people."

"Yu bought some."

Just as Yu Shenxing was talking, he saw his stepson Yu Wei suddenly came here: "Master, you are indeed here. The Ministry of Commerce has come to share the profits. There are three big boxes of silver. My wife asked me to call you back to thank God."

After Yu Wei said that, because he saw Zhao Nanxing was there, he hurriedly bowed to Zhao Nanxing: "I have seen Uncle Shi!"

At this time, Zhao Nanxing had already looked at Yu Shenxing with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there seemed to be a blazing fire burning in his eyes, and asked Yu Shenxing:

"Didn't the Lord ask the court not to rob the people's interests? Why did you buy it yourself, and it seems that there are more Shen Yucheng (Shen Li) than him!"

Zhao Nanxing was really surprised by this.

"Well, I have been to this book, but I just hope that His Majesty will not force the people to buy subscription tickets, so as not to arouse public anger;"

"After all, the imperial court has indeed lost its credibility in issuing banknotes."

"But it doesn't mean that I won't buy it myself, and I won't support the imperial court's attempt to increase the national treasury income and benefit the children of the world by exploiting foreign profits!"

"I still hope that the court can really benefit the people!"

Yu Shenxing explained.

Zhao Nanxing's breathing became a little heavy, and he asked again: "We are also considered close friends, but why did Uncle Shao Zong buy it by himself and not tell me?"

"A gentleman is a gentleman!"

"It's not easy for a gentleman to talk about profits in front of the public, so I'm not good at talking about profits in public, not to mention that the subscription coupons are not until the court really distributes the profits, and I can't be sure that the court really wants to use this to distribute the profits Huimin: "

"What if it is indeed for the benefit of the people by using the subscription coupons, and repeat the treasure banknotes?"

"It's okay for my family to suffer heavy losses, but if you lose and it's because of me, then how can I have the face to see you?"

"So, how can I bring it up in front of the public?"

Yu Shenxing said as soon as he said: "I don't think you don't mind! After all, the public values ​​righteousness and despises profit, and he is a real gentleman!"

Zhao Nanxing forced a nonchalant smile: "I don't really care about these financial benefits, the main reason is that I didn't expect my father-in-law to buy subscription tickets!"

"Buying to help the country is not because you really want to make a profit."

Yu Shenxing explained a sentence, and then said: "But since the emperor's grace has come down, how can I not accept it, let me go back and thank you before reuniting with the public!"

"Excuse me!"

"I'll treat the public to a drink some other day!"

As Yu Shenxing said that, he hurried downstairs with his stepson.

"Master, be careful, it's snowing outside!"

"What are you afraid of in the snow, even if you use a knife, you have to go back quickly to thank the emperor, otherwise it is not the way of a minister!"

Yu Shenxing's words echoed in the teahouse.

But Zhao Nanxing remained silent for a while with a sullen face, then shook his head and said to himself: "What the hell am I angry about? Am I ashamed for not helping the country?"

At this time, Shen Li had also come out to thank the officials of the Ministry of Commerce who announced the decree for profit distribution.

At the same time, Shi Xing, who was returning with Chen Jingbang, also noticed that there were many official missions outside his mansion because he heard a gong.

Shi Xing felt strange for a moment: "This is not the year of the competition, how can there be officials blocking the door? It's like someone's number one!"

After speaking, Shi Xing came over and asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Jingbang got off the sedan chair curiously and walked over.

At this time, Shi Maolun came over and said to Shi Xing: "It is the money from the Ministry of Commerce to distribute the mine profits to us under the order of grace. The total is 210 six taels of silver dollars. Now I am waiting for you to come back and sign to thank you."

"Minery?"

Chen Jingbang glanced at Shi Xing at this time, and asked first: "Didn't you say that you won't compete with the people for profit, didn't you buy this subscription ticket, why are you paying back so many silver dollars?"

"Not much to buy!"

"It's really not much!"

"Being loyal to the king, I naturally bought some."

Shi Xing started talking with a sneer, and then looked at Ai Cheng, a member of the Commerce Department, with a gloomy look, and said in a low voice, "Why are you making such a high-profile distribution of profits? You play gongs and drums, and you come to deliver them in broad daylight. Still carrying cash!"

"How can the emperor's grace come in a sneaky manner, what you say is disrespectful!"

At this time, Tang Yaoqin, who was also in charge of monitoring the whole process, said something to Shi Xing in a deep voice.

Shi Xing suddenly looked embarrassed, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I made a slip of the tongue, please give me admonishment, don't blame me, the emperor's grace should indeed come in a fair way."

Shi Xing asked Shi Maolun immediately after speaking, "Is the incense case ready?"

Shi Maolun nodded.

"Then tell the family members to come and kneel down to accept the emperor's grace!"

After Shi Xing said that, he knelt down first.

Chen Jingbang has already returned to the sedan chair, and his whole face has become very ugly, especially when he saw Shi Xing took out the subscription coupon and knelt down to receive the dividend, he couldn't help gritting his teeth for a moment: "This is just a few? This is obviously a lot!"

"Obviously a lot!"

Bang!

Chen Jingbang directly dropped a cup of tea on the low table in the sedan chair to the ground.

Shi Xing, Ai Cheng, Tang Yaoqin and other officials couldn't help looking over.

Chen Jingbang was quite embarrassed, so he could only smile and said: "It's okay, I just accidentally knocked over the teacup."

As soon as Chen Jingbang said that, he asked the bearer to carry him away from here, and as soon as he left here, he saw Zhao Nanxing walking towards him in a daze, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite Zhao Nanxing.

Zhao Nanxing rejected Chen Jingbang's invitation, because he is not in a good mood now, especially after hearing the sound of a gong and a burst of drums, and then seeing a colleague get a dividend of silver dollars, it is difficult for him to contain the jealousy in his heart .

……

"Is it all profitable?"

The next day.

Serving the Imperial Secretary, Zhu Yijun smiled and asked the ruling ministers Shen Shixing, Chen Jingbang and others.

Shen Shixing, Qi Jiguang, Zhang Xueyan and others all smiled happily and said:

"Thanks to your majesty's great blessing, they have all received the rewards of mining benefits. How fortunate are you and me to be able to meet the reappearance of Yao and Shun in this world."

Zhu Yijun nodded at this moment, and then looked at Chen Jingbang:

"Everyone is happy, why is Chen Qing alone looking down? Didn't Chen Qing buy a subscription ticket?"
