Zhang Tailu repeatedly assured him, "Dad, I know everything you said and I've written it down."
"I will do my best to ensure that I will not disappoint Your Majesty or the people. Please rest assured."
"Come, come, let me make this tea for you and have a taste."
"This was given by His Majesty himself, and I don't even know what it tastes like."
During the court session, he stood in the corner and just watched His Majesty and several important ministers drinking.
But he is so greedy!
Originally, he thought that only a few important officials in the court would receive rewards.
I didn't expect that even he has one?!
His Majesty actually remembered even a lowly official like him and gave him a copy as a reward.
He really... I cried to death...
"Today, my lord, I am very happy. Everyone in the mansion will be rewarded with a monthly salary!"
Zhang Tailu waved his hand.
The servants beside him shouted in surprise, "Thank you, sir!"
This scene took place in the homes of many ministers.
The next day, when people from various prefectures went out to buy things, they couldn't help but say a few words.
"Hey, you know, yesterday my master gave me a month's worth of silver!"
"What? I gave you a month's salary as a reward? Why is that? Is there any big event happening in your family?"
A woman who was shopping couldn't help but boast, "Well, it's nothing big."
"Your Majesty rewarded my master with a bag of tea, a set of tables and chairs, and a set of tea sets."
"My master was so happy that he rewarded everyone in our mansion with a month's salary."
Another person exclaimed in surprise, "What?!"
"Your Majesty has also rewarded your master with so many things?!"
"I remember your master's official position was not as high as mine. How come your master also has one?"
A woman who was dressed rather simply opened her eyes wide in surprise!
"What? Did your master also give you some moon viewing silver?"
"Why didn't my master see a single hair?"
"Then I don't know. Anyway, my parents have it."
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to go buy groceries."
After saying that, several people dispersed.
In an inn.
A few people gathered together, eating and chatting.
One of the heavier men whispered, "Hey? Did you hear that?"
"What?"
The others looked at him in confusion.
The fat man said, "I heard that His Majesty gave some rare gifts to many ministers yesterday."
A tall and thin man, chewing some food, glanced at the fat man and said.
"What's so rare?"
"Isn't it common for Your Majesty to bestow gifts? Why make such a fuss?"
"Anyway, what you admire are all gold, silver, jewelry, silks, satins, antiques, calligraphy and paintings."
The fat man said, "This time it's different."
"It's not gold, silver, jewelry, silk, or antiques, but things I've never seen before."
"I heard it was a table, chairs, and a complete set of tea sets."
After saying that, the fat man suddenly remembered something and continued, "Oh, by the way, there's also a bag of tea!"
"I heard that it was given to Your Majesty by a master!"
What? !
Expert? ?
Several people widened their eyes in shock!
"Who is this expert? Where is he?!"
The fat man shook his head. "I don't know. I heard it from my mother's master's son, his distant second uncle's sister-in-law, his brother-in-law's widow next door, the second son who works as a doorman in a high-ranking official's house."
