"Yes, they actually came up with the Green Seed Loan. It's simply amazing. No one can compare to them. In time, they will surely become the pillars of the country."
Fu Chengwang said with some pride.
Li Xingye said unhappily, "Look at how proud you are. Someone who doesn't know you would think you are my son."
Fu Chengwang was even more proud: "A son-in-law is also half a son."
Li Xingye snorted coldly, "Who was the one who disagreed in the first place?"
Fu Chengwang didn't care at all: "At that time, I was blinded by greed, so I misjudged him. Fortunately, my daughter had a keen eye for talent and never left me. Otherwise, I would definitely regret it."
Li Xingye was very unhappy.
He did have a daughter, but she was born out of wedlock. He didn't introduce her to Zhao Lin because he felt she was not worthy of him. Otherwise, how could Fu Cheng have taken advantage of the old man?
Fu Chengwang also knew that he couldn't provoke Li Xingye too much, so he turned and asked, "Do you think Zhao Lin's move can be promoted nationwide?"
"cannot."
Li Xingye said without hesitation, "Zhao Lin also said in the letter that this measure is only suitable for a small scale. If it is promoted nationwide, it will not only fail to help the people, but will become a disaster. Not everyone is as selfless as Zhao Lin."
Fu Chengwang sighed, "Yes, if everyone was like him, there would be no need for this Qingmiao loan."
The two were silent.
If officials at all levels had not arbitrarily increased taxes, the common people would not have to worry about freezing or starving, and there would be no need for Qingmiao loans.
"This method is beneficial to the people, so even if there are drawbacks, we should not throw it out with the bathwater."
Fu Chengwang said with emotion: "Zhao Lin has made it clear that all the malpractices are caused by officials at all levels. As long as we manage the officials well and prevent them from imposing arbitrary taxes, this Qingmiao loan will be a great benefit to the people."
Li Xingye frowned and said, "But preventing them from taking any action is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"Then we need a strong person to manage it." Fu Chengwang said.
The two looked at each other.
Li Xingye laughed and said, "For this son-in-law, you've really put your reputation aside."
Fu Chengwang said proudly, "I am doing this for the people, not Zhao Lin."
"But others will definitely think that you are seeking a better position for Zhao Lin." Li Xingye said.
Fu Chengwang sneered: "What they think is their business, as long as I have a clear conscience, that's all that matters."
"In this case, spring plowing is imperative. I will write a memorial immediately and we will submit it together." Li Xingye said.
…
After two months, Zhao Chenhan finally put down the rebellion and returned to Beijing.
In fact, the so-called suppression of the rebellion was nothing more than defeating a few large rebel groups and gaining enough credit.
As for the remaining rebels, the Zuo Yulin Guard alone is not enough, and the local armies have to deal with them themselves.
In short, this rebellion suppression, to put it bluntly, is an opportunity for Zhao Chenhan to make a contribution.
It's just that he made it look not so pretty.
But no matter what, it was always a contribution to the outside world, so when Zhao Chenhan led his army back to the capital, he was warmly welcomed by the people.
Zhao Chenhan rode on a tall horse, wearing armor, holding a spear, and with a long red cloak behind him, he looked like a heroic young general. Especially with the series of prison cars behind him holding the rebel leaders, Zhao Chenhan looked even more heroic as if he had returned from the battlefield.
This caused many girls to scream, and some of the braver ones threw handkerchiefs at Zhao Chenhan.
Soon, a pile of scented handkerchiefs appeared in Zhao Chenhan's arms.
"You're really welcome." Bai Shicheng followed behind on horseback and said to Jiang Yichen.
They were also wearing armor and looked majestic, but they were no match for Zhao Chenhan, the head coach.
Jiang Yichen curled his lips.
The other young masters also looked unhappy.
All the limelight was stolen by Zhao Chenhan.
But there's nothing we can do about it, because he has a good father who can be the head coach.
Zhao Chenhan was in high spirits and ready to accept a grand welcome, but when he entered the city, only a eunuch came to praise him with a few words and asked Zhao Chenhan to continue to return to the Hanlin Academy as a Hanlin, and Xu Zhong still commanded the Left Yulin Guard.
As for the reward, it was just a little money.
"Is that all?"
Not only Zhao Chenhan was a little confused, but everyone else was also a little confused.
We have been fighting outside for several months. Even if the emperor doesn't personally meet with us and reward us, he should at least give us some tangible benefits, right?
Just give some silver?
Who needs this little money from you?
If Zhao Lin beat up any bandit, the emperor would give him a huge reward.
"Order guerrilla general Zhao Chenhan to return to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to report to the emperor, and the others to return to their camps," said the eunuch.
Zhao Chenhan showed a look of joy.
I told you, this reward is not enough for such a great contribution.
"You go back first, and I will ask His Majesty for a reward on your behalf," said Zhao Chenhan.
This is as it should be, and no one has any objection.
Zhao Chenhan dismounted, took off his armor and weapons, and followed the eunuch to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Zhao Chenhan quietly slipped a piece of silver to the eunuch and asked, "Eunuch An, what is His Majesty's attitude towards my recent suppression of the rebellion?"
It was Anquan who came to announce the decree.
He weighed the silver ingot and said with a smile, "General Zhao, don't worry. His Majesty has spoken highly of you. He has said many times that a good father will have a good son. I'm sure you will have heavier responsibilities to shoulder in the future."
Zhao Chenhan was overjoyed: "Thank you, eunuch."
Security is despised in the heart.
He was captured in the first battle and was rescued by Zhao Lin. How dare you ask for credit?
Zhu Zhongyan took the opportunity to speak ill of Zhao Chenhan in front of Cheng ** several times, causing Cheng ** to dislike Zhao Chenhan and only give him credit for the sake of Zhao Jingzhou's face.
Otherwise, the army wouldn't have returned to the city with only a eunuch delivering the decree.
But there is no need to tell Zhao Chenhan these.
Zhao Chenhan joyfully followed Anquan to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I, Zhao Chenhan, pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."
