Chapter three hundred and thirty fourth promotion(1/2)
When you encounter wealth, the palace is naturally fresh inside and outside. The thousands of craftsmen they raise naturally inspect and repair every month, and even demolish and rebuild it is not a problem.
But if the country is in a tight financial situation, it can only maintain the important palaces, and let the rest be dilapidated. At most, it is very rare to send a small palace maid and a small eunuch to clean it up and beat it to ensure that it is not overwhelming!
By this time of Zhengde, the treasury was in short supply. It would be great if it could maintain the face of the emperor. Those remote palaces naturally could not control them!
Zhu Houzhao moved all the people here, chose the most dilapidated and remote place, and moved the nearby people away in advance, so he started a trial production here!
Hey! Not to mention... it's a benefit!
When they tried to make the sky-blasting thunder, they could also figure out the amount of explosives to be allocated based on the strength of the palace and houses in this palace, so as to achieve the effect of falling down and not damaging the rest. This is called precise blasting!
And now that when he arrives in the Forbidden City, even Empress Xia can go and slap. The emperor and Empress run to check the progress from time to time and come up with many wonderful ideas, such as letting people think of ways to drive the sky thunder into the sky, fall and explode from the sky, or put it into the water to explode at the bottom of the water. In the meantime, they naturally need to find ways to prevent wind and water, and control the time of the explosion, etc.
The emperor and the empress had a lot of fun, and the people in the capital also talked about it with relish.
"Listen, our emperor has blown up another room today. It is said that after the blow up, the walls and pillars will not fall, and bricks and beams will not fall..."
"Yes! Yes! I heard that it can still bloom in the pond, and all the fish in the pond were overturned!"
In this way, the emperor was having fun, the people were happy to watch the fun, but the officials were unhappy.
"Nothing! This is nothing!"
"What kind of pride is it! What kind of pride is it!"
"Is this the king of a country? Is this the king of a country?"
Someone wrote a letter to advise, but the emperor said that
"This is in my own home, and I have not disturbed the people. I have some interests and hobbies. What's wrong?"
It's true! This is the emperor playing at home. Even if the ministers listen to the big noise, they can't rush into the palace to advise?
It took a full month to explode. When His Majesty the Emperor turned his thunder into a small palm, he threw it away and exploded a house, the court officials finally compromised because they realized that His Majesty was playing at his home, but the blown-up palace had to be rebuilt by the Ministry of Revenue. Every blown up was a sum of silver, and the treasury could not afford it!
And it seems that the New Year is coming, and the palace is filled with rumbling sounds every day, causing smoke and dust to rise everywhere, and the sky is full of fog, and you can see it from afar. The people are talking and the streets and alleys are spreading!
What kind of style does this... become?
Is this... still the face of a capital of a country?
Is this...the majesty of a king of a country?
Your Majesty is shameless, they are shameless!
Every day, the officials who sat in the official sedan chair and went up and down the yamen were blushing for His Majesty when they heard the people's discussion!
All the court officials made suggestions to the cabinet masters.
"It's better to follow His Majesty..."
"It's just that you just set a piece of land out and make a fuss. Let Your Majesty play outside the city, don't do it in the Forbidden City!"
After the cabinet masters discussed, they decided to follow the previous statement. Your Majesty paid the money to move the people around the Shenji Camp, leaving only such a place for His Majesty to "play" with you!
At this time, Zhu Houzhao refused.
"I said I wanted to pay the money before, but I couldn't find a place. Now that I'm looking for the place, why do I have to pay more money!"
The court officials were stunned, but they didn't expect that the emperor would pick up Qiao, so they had to persuade him,
"Your Majesty, what should I do if I try to bomb in the palace and disturbed the two empress dowagers?"
"It's okay, I have invited the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to live in Xiyuan!"
"This... Your Majesty's Palace is where the dragon vein is located. If the dragon vein is blown up everywhere, this... it will be a disaster for all generations!"
"This... the Qing family's words make some sense..."
"Yes! Yes! Your Majesty, please find another address outside the city to try the Thunderbolt!"
"Well... it's true...but it's labor, time and money to move around. I don't have much money..."
After bargaining like this and making a gesture, the Ministry of Revenue pinched its nose and recognized the "relocation" fee of 200,000 taels, which made the emperor nod.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile,
"I will move away whenever the Ministry of Revenue's silver is delivered!"
When he returned to the harem, he hugged Queen Xia and smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth.
"This time they won't lose a lot of rice when they steal chickens. I don't even have to pay the money for the people to move!"
Queen Xia smiled,
"But there are so many palaces in the harem that need to be rebuilt, so it will cost money?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said,
"Anyway, I don't need to pay money from my warehouse, so I'll give them a headache!"
In fact, if these dilapidated palaces are unused and the emperor does not mention them, the court officials can turn a blind eye and pass by vaguely. But now the emperor is blown into ruins, and it will be impossible to pretend to be invisible. The Ministry of Revenue will naturally allocate funds to rebuild them next year. The treasury inside and outside has "lossed" a lot, so it is no wonder that the court officials are eager to let His Majesty stop!
Empress Xia smiled unkindly when she heard this, but she did not forget to compete for her good friend.
"Your Majesty, who has made the most contribution to this matter, can't be forgotten!"
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile,
"Don't worry, I will never forget it!"
After thinking about it, he asked,
"I have forgotten where does Miss Han San's father work?"
Queen Xia thought for a while and said,
"He is the head of the Qingguan Department of the Ministry of Personnel, and the sixth rank official!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded,
"I remember this in my heart!"
But the next day after going to court, Liu Jin was asked to transfer the archives of the Ministry of Personnel to check. Sure enough, he saw Han Shifeng's name in the book. He looked at his resume and thought to himself,
"In fact, he is also an old official who has been doing things for many years. It is not difficult to raise it up!"
Then he picked up his pen and wrote a note to Liu Jin,
"Take this to the three cabinet masters. If there is no objection, let them do it!"
Liu Jin bowed and left when he heard this. When the three pavilions saw the letter, they couldn't help but say,
"How could Your Majesty know about Han Shifeng?"
There was Sizhiro who served tea and water on the side, who had a good memory. When he heard this, he replied quietly.
"Gei Master, this person is the head of the Qing Lishu Department of the Ministry of Personnel. The second daughter of the family married Ankangbo's second son as his wife..."
"oh……"
The parents suddenly realized,
"So it's a relative of the Queen's house. Is Your Majesty going to take care of his relatives?"
Even if His Majesty appointed, it is not difficult for a sixth-rank chief to be promoted to a fifth-rank doctor. Moreover, this person has enough qualifications, but it was not long before the official's official's letter was introduced to everyone. Han Shifeng looked confused when he heard the news. While bowing back to his congratulatory colleagues, he said intimately,
"Isn't this... Isn't it a mistake?"
You should know that being an official in the capital, especially a small official of the six ministries, is extremely difficult to advance one step. If a local official who is a foreigner is working hard outside, he will be inevitable as long as he makes political achievements. However, an official like them cannot succeed. It will take more than ten or even decades to advance one step after one step. It is certain that the qualifications of the seniority must be there. If there is no one to help him, I am afraid that he will retire at the sixth rank rank until he is old.
Han Shifeng was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show any signs of it. He smiled and greeted his colleagues, and made an appointment to invite him to Jiuzhen Tower to dinner in the evening. When everyone left, he sat down and thought.
"Who helped me?"
I just thought about it but couldn't figure it out, but Han Qi had Qingyan next to the Queen's side reported the letter, and she had to say ashamed.
"Your Majesty and the Empress treat their daughter so kindly, so they can only bear it without any shame!"
Qingyan smiled and said,
"We Empress said this. Just let Lord Han know about it quietly. Don't make it too much!"
Han Qi nodded,
"Thank you for your advice, my daughter follows the instructions!"
Of course, the fewer people know about this, the better. Even Han Qi didn't plan to tell the truth!
It was midnight when Han Shifeng returned home that night, but when he came back drunk, he hugged Wang Shixiu,
"Hui Hui, I've been promoted for... my husband!"
Wang didn't understand it at first.
"Born? Who gave birth?"
The boss's belly is almost the same as the day, but why didn't he send someone to report to the house?
Han Shifeng pointed his nose with his hand.
"I...I'm promoted!"
Wang blinked for a long time before he came back to the taste, and said happily,
To be continued...
