Chapter 688: Fairy Card Drawing Machine (18)
Wait until the relevant news reaches the public.
Ding Yun was left speechless.
Good guy, this is her fault.
Fortunately, she just made up the image of the goddess for a month and did not use her real face and identity.
If he used it, he would not have to be disturbed by Emperor Longsheng every day to seek immortality. However, Ding Yun was unable to stop this kind of thing. He could only continue to act as if he didn't know, close the door and live his own life, regardless of the spring, summer, autumn and winter outside the princess's house.
As for the ordinary people, they just gossiped about it at the beginning, and then continued to earn money for firewood, rice, oil and salt. After all, it had nothing to do with the emperor asking for divination. There was no increase in taxes or corvee, as long as
does not affect their interests.
He can do whatever he likes.
Only some relatively loyal civil and military officials are worried as much as if the sky is falling, and this is only a small number, because there are still some civil and military officials who are already busy taking advantage of this opportunity to seize the right angle.
Seek immortals and visit Taoism to please Emperor Longsheng, so that you can be promoted and given titles.
Anyway, for now.
What Emperor Longsheng did had little impact.
Even because he was worried that his failure to provide disaster relief would affect the fairy's senses, he paid special attention to this disaster relief. Even many of his officials did not dare to reach out for the disaster relief funds, making the disaster relief process very fast.
…
Time flies and it’s Chinese New Year again.
Because this year is the third year as promised, Ding Yun specially prepared one hundred thousand taels of silver, and before the New Year, he began to order his subordinates to investigate what his juniors had done and what their achievements were in the past three years.
Prepare for the assessment and rewards in three years.
However, after getting the results of the survey, Ding Yun could only say that he was a little happy, but not that happy, because those juniors had indeed made some progress, but there were too few. For example, those who entered the Imperial College were still
I am still studying and have achieved nothing.
The greatest achievement of those younger generations who did not enter the Imperial College is to pass the Tongsheng Examination, and they did not even pass the Scholarship Examination.
Three more businesses went bankrupt.
The only one who could be considered somewhat successful was relying on his wife's natal family, which was originally from a business family. This allowed them to get on the right track within three years and start to ensure profits.
As for those who take the path of military commanders.
What he was like three years ago is basically what he is now. For example, Qin Yuan is still a personal guard.
Of the two who received low-level military honors, one was living at home waiting to die, and the other spent money to buy a military attaché position, which is still the position of a hundred households in the frontier. He is currently on duty in northern Xinjiang because the distance is relatively far.
The specific situation is not clear yet, but at least the great-great-grandson named Qin Yangchun is still motivated.
The other ones are the juniors who are learning weaving and embroidery.
It's been nearly two years.
So far, no one has successfully passed the customs.
After investigating this, the first thing Ding Yun did was to reduce the amount of money he was prepared to distribute. He wanted to distribute one hundred thousand taels of silver for such a small result. To put it bluntly, he packed them up and sold them based on their current value.
They all sell for less than 100,000 taels.
So Ding Yun directly deducted 60,000 from the 100,000 taels of silver he originally prepared, and then sent someone to notify them to go home, celebrate the New Year, and conduct the agreed assessment.
Assessments are different.
For the assessment of adult children, Ding Yun mainly wants to understand their progress and achievements in the past three years. For minors, he will take a few papers to understand what they have learned in the past three years and the progress of their knowledge.
Therefore, the specific assessment time was not long. It only lasted one day, and Ding Yun finished correcting the papers overnight.
The results came out the next day.
"Last night I finished grading your papers overnight. In addition, I also sent someone to investigate what changes and progress you have made in the past three years.
Now I will announce the results of the assessment."
"Those whose papers are graded as A will be rewarded one thousand taels each, those whose papers are graded as B, five hundred taels, those who are graded as C, one hundred taels, and those who are graded as D, ten taels. You will go to the warehouse to collect them later. The papers have just been distributed to
You guys.
The remaining seven families are basically the same as they were three years ago. Let's go home now. The three families that went bankrupt went to the warehouse to get five hundred taels of silver each. Although they were unsuccessful, they were at least somewhat motivated.
.
It’s just that you’re not capable enough, so keep trying.
The three children who pass the exam will each be rewarded two thousand taels.
Also, I remember that I have several children who were just engaged a few months ago and will be getting married next year, right?
Maybe two thousand taels of silver per person.
Men add betrothal gifts, and women add dowry!
Don't feel unhappy about those of you who passed the exam. Their marriage is a one-time deal. If you pass the exam and become a scholar in the future, you will continue to receive rewards. The people just mentioned should leave first.
Qin Yangchun’s wife stays, I have something to say!”
After easily talking about the rewards that had been decided long ago, Ding Yun sent the people he mentioned away.
On the one hand, Qin Yangchun's wife was specially left behind.
After everyone left, Ding Yun called Qin Yangchun's wife to his side, patted her hand and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing to keep you here. Looking at the past three years, Yang Chun is actually the boldest and most hard-working one. Whether the Qin family can still be based in the circle of honors after my death, I'm afraid it depends on
Although he has not made much progress in the past three years because there was no war, he has the courage to go to the frontier and has already surpassed his peers.
Originally I wanted to reward you with ten thousand taels.
But then I thought about it, he has no use in the frontier just having this money, so I will give you a thousand taels for daily use, and I will add more to the rest to see if I can provide him with magical weapons and body protection.
Treasure armor and the like.
The other thing is to help him build connections in the military.
In addition, give him some money so that he can make good friends with his boss and support his own staff.
What do you think..."
So far, the only one who seems to have some potential is Qin Yangchun.
With no other choice, Ding Yun could only choose to invest in him, hoping that he could really stand firm in the future and pass on the Qin family's fairly good legacy.
During the time when Qin Yangchun went to the border, Qin Xu's biggest concern was his safety, and other things came second, so when he heard Ding Yun say that he wanted to get him a magic weapon and protective armor,
Of course, there is no unwillingness. After all, only when a person is alive can he have everything!
She now has a daughter at her knees.
If something happens to my husband, the ten thousand taels of silver will be of no use. Whether I can keep it or not is a question:
"What my ancestors worried about is exactly what I worry about.
I don’t have much need for money in the capital, so why not give all the remaining money to your husband, so that I can feel more at ease staying in the capital!”
"No, you have some money.
He can feel more at ease when he is on duty at the border!"
After Ding Yun politely refused, he gave her a thousand taels of silver notes on the spot, and then asked for some details, such as what Qin Yangchun probably lacked in the border area and whether he needed help, so that she could prepare some things to send.
.
After all his descendants were sent away, Ding Yun also made many other preparations for Qin Yangchun, his great-great-grandson. For example, he purchased a caravan and only operated the trade route from the capital to Qin Yangchun's location.
It is convenient for transporting things to him and communicating.
Anyway, he is the only seeded player in the family now.
Some are resource supplies.
