It is said that during the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, the national treasury had 60 to 70 million taels of silver. However, Dayan was known for its rich country and strong people, but there was only more than 40 million taels of silver in the national treasury?
Although horizontal comparison is not very meaningful, and it is true that light taxation keeps wealth in the hands of the people, it still feels good! Poor! Ah!! She always thought that Aye was quite rich!
Yan Shiyue sighed: "I am so unfilial. My father is so poor, but I am still so greedy for pleasure, wearing light clothes and riding fat..."
Everyone: “…”
After dinner, Xu Wenqu and Huo Qiyang went back, and Ding Xiaoyan came to report.
"Master, Mr. Qu said that you don't need to worry about most of the posts, but please consider these few."
He picked out a few, and Qu Sinian took them in his hand, preparing to tell her why they needed to be considered. Then Ding Xiaoyan said, "The most important thing is that the official media keeps coming... What should we do?"
Ever since the wedding, this group of disciples made their official debut, from Tang Xiu, Gu Hengsha to the four here, they have all been targeted, and official media have come over one after another.
Yan Shiyue called everyone over: "Do you have any ideas?"
Gu Hengsha was the first to say, "Let the Master decide."
...
...
"Get out of here, it's none of your business," Yan Shiyue said, "Your grandfather will take care of your affairs. Unless you are not satisfied with what he has decided, I will not interfere. What about the others?"
Others also said, "Let Master's Wife decide."
Only Huo Nan hesitated for a moment. When Yan Shiyue looked at him, he knelt down and said, "Master's wife, please make the decision. I want to marry Wei Bo."
Yan Shiyue asked: "Is she happy?"
Huo Nan was a little shy and turned his face away and said, "She, she doesn't agree."
Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "Then ask her to agree first. I have no objection, I am happy to see it happen!"
She looked at the others and said, "If you want to marry someone, tell me now. I don't have time to worry about this right now. Besides, I don't know any of the girls in Chang'an City well, so how can I know which one is good and which one is not? It would be best if you could choose for yourselves."
The three of them looked at each other.
Yan Shiyue said: "Okay, that's it."
She told Ding Xiaoyan: "Clean up a room for Si Nian later."
Qu Sinian smiled and bowed, and she continued, "The official media will come again tomorrow. Don't worry about the others for now. Ask Aunt Linlang to receive Ah Xiu and find out the situation. Then pick Ah Xiu up in the evening and I'll ask her. The day after tomorrow is off. Ask the people from the clothing store to come and measure our bodies. Everyone in the family can make a few clothes. Men can make four or five sets, and women can make more than ten or twenty sets!"
Everyone: “…”
As the only woman, Yan Shiyue said confidently: "Is there a problem?"
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help laughing and said, "When we were eating, I seemed to hear Master's wife say that we shouldn't be greedy for pleasure and wear light clothes and ride fat horses?"
Yan Shiyue coughed and said to Huo Qijing, "Ah Jing, why is your fourth disciple so slick? He is not as honest as your eldest disciple."
Huo Qijing sat upright with a smile on his face, watching her deal with household chores. After hearing this, he asked, "Beat her up?"
"Hit me!" Gu Hengsha's eyes lit up and he stood up: "Master, can you teach me some swordsmanship?"
Huo Qijing nodded and asked someone to bring swords. The four of them followed him out to watch them fight.
Then Ding Xiaoyan also stepped back, and Qu Sinian told her about these posts.
For example, Prime Minister Xu, the two of them are in the same position, so they can interact with each other appropriately. Moreover, Xu Mingxiu invited them as a couple, so they can actually go.
In addition, there is Prince Chun. Qu Sinian feels that the two have become a de facto party, and this show of goodwill should be the next step.
In addition, you can actually go to Lin Fujian’s meeting once. No matter what you talk about, it can confuse everyone.
It can be seen that he has tried to keep things as simple as possible. After all, for such a worrier, everything should be taken into consideration.
Yan Shiyue said: "It's so troublesome, I don't want to take this route, I am a lone minister!"
Qu Sinian said: "A lone minister cannot be without any friends. With your status, if you don't want to be courteous to others, there really aren't many people you need to make friends with."
She said, "How about this? I'll ask the kitchen to make cakes and send one to each of Prime Minister Xu's family, Prince Chun's family, and Lin Fujian's family! It saves time, effort, and worry!"
Qu Qinian held his forehead with his hand and said, "This is really too careless and too frivolous."
Yan Shiyue said, "Then let's do this. I will invite Prime Minister Xu, Prince Chun, and Lin Fujian to have a meal together tomorrow morning?"
Qu Sinian looked at her silently.
Yan Shiyue waved her hand: "Forget it, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, and if you don't do anything, it's not a bad thing."
Qu Sinian continued to look at her silently.
Yan Shiyue said, "How about this, after the court is over tomorrow, I will invite Prime Minister Xu, Sun Cifu, and Prince Chun Lin Fujian to come to my house for dinner during their day off, and ask them to help me name the garden! You and the master can also help accompany them when the time comes!"
Qu Sinian thought about it carefully and said reluctantly, "This is actually possible." He felt that his talents were not being used, so he sighed and said, "That's it."
He drank half a cup of tea slowly, and suddenly asked, "That Bao Zheng, you have memories of him in your third life, right?"
Yan Shiyue looked at him speechlessly: "If you say anything about the memories of the third life again, I will kill you to silence you."
Qu Sinian laughed and said, "You also know that I like to think too much. I have something in my heart that I can't help but ask. Lord Prime Minister, tell me quietly, and I won't tell anyone else."
Yan Shiyue leaned forward and whispered, "Let me tell you, in my memory, this person is a great judge, known as Bao Qingtian. Do you believe it?"
Qu Sinian nodded in surprise: "So that's how it is."
After Qu Sinian left, Yan Shiyue wrote letters to Emperor Ming Yan and the Crown Prince.
To Emperor Ming Yan, it means that I am really sorry, dear father. I really didn't expect you to be so poor. I will never ask you for money again. If you are short of money, just tell me. I will raise you as a daughter to take care of you in your old age. All my money is yours. You are welcome! In addition, you can rest assured that I will work hard to find ways to make money and enrich the national treasury immediately!
The one to the prince said, "Prince, Prime Minister Xu and the others keep sending me invitations. Qu Sinian said that now that I have a family, I can't keep ignoring them. I decided to take a day off the day after tomorrow and invite these people to my home to play and name my garden. It would be best if they could draw some paintings and hang them on the walls of the study and the living room... But Ajing and I will definitely have nothing to talk about with them. I feel worried just thinking about it. Please help me, you must come and keep me company!"
Emperor Ming Yan and the Crown Prince were speechless when they received the letter.
Anyway, Emperor Ming Yan had been emperor for so many years, but this was the first time he had been so sympathized with by others. However, seeing that his head showed a lot of determination, Emperor Ming Yan could only acknowledge the "fact" that he was poor.
As for the prince…his feelings are more complicated.
You know, people like Xu Xiang and Sun Xuancheng rarely take the initiative to make friends with anyone.
After a lot of effort, a few old men took the initiative to make friends, but Yan Shiyue's attitude was "It's so troublesome. Why do you keep sending me invitations? But they keep sending me invitations. Do I have to deal with them? Then can you help me deal with them?"? ?
Moreover, is it really okay to tell him all this directly and tell him that it was Qu Sinian who advised him?
By the way, if he was not mistaken, her words were full of: I have to go through so much trouble to entertain them, so I can't suffer a loss, so let them do their part! I am really smart!
