Chapter 824: happy event
Chapter 824 Happy event
In the evening, after Lin Jinxiao finished handling the court affairs, he came to the Rongde Palace. Chu Nanzhi had already ordered someone to prepare the dinner. Seeing the neat and orderly family, he felt indescribably happy.
It feels like we are still in Luyan Port.
Seeing the bright smile on his face like an idiot, Chu Nanzhi didn't know what happy event he had today to be so happy.
Both of them never mentioned anything about Zhaochun Palace, they ate with the family silently.
After dinner, everyone was sent away, leaving only the couple. Chu Nanzhi lay on the soft bed and continued to keep silent.
But after waiting on the bed for a long time, she didn't see the little boy coming over, so she had to get up, put on the cloak and walked out silently.
Arriving at his own small bookstore, he saw the little boy sitting at his desk concentrating on thinking.
"The emperor is in a good mood today. What are you planning for after staying up all night?"
Chu Nanzhi asked angrily.
Hearing her voice, Lin Jinxiao raised his head, pulled her onto his knees and sat down, and said with a gentle smile, "Today, good things happen one after another. I'm so excited that I can't sleep."
"Then tell me, what are the good things?"
Chu Nanzhi asked impatiently.
"Let's talk about the taxes in Jiangnan this year. After the vigorous rectification by Ji Shangshu and Yin Shaofu, the tax money sent to the court by the various states in Jiangnan in the past few days is as much as 8 million taels. In previous years, the whole country was no more than this."
Lin Jinxiao happily said in detail: "If we wait until the new tax law is promulgated and implemented, the national treasury will be extremely abundant in a few years, and then I can accompany you back to Luyan Port earlier to live a leisurely life."
Chu Nanzhi smiled faintly.
Didn't expect him to keep thinking about it.
I don't know if he will sit on the throne for a few more years, will he only think about the two-person world with himself like now.
"The south of the Yangtze River has always been a fertile land. In the past, the government's land could not be used rationally, and the tyrants and corrupt officials exploited it. A lot of tax money was eventually transferred to their pockets. Naturally, it was difficult for the treasury to be sufficient."
Chu Nanzhi responded casually, and then asked: "Is there any other happy event?"
Lin Jinxiao talked about several things in succession. Li Ce wiped out the two major tribes of Bura and Yanzhi, and the officials selected by the Langzhou Examination have entered Beijing one after another. But when he talked about the last thing, he paused, and then continued Said: "Today when Taiwei Yin entered the palace, on behalf of Qinghe Yin's clan, he donated more than 300,000 mu of land to help the court implement the new policy, and also donated 500,000 taels of silver to help the Beidi disaster relief."
"I didn't expect the Yin family to be so open-minded. Taiwei Yin deserves to be the pillar of the country."
Chu Nanzhi knew in her heart that these fields and silver were Yin Sinian's hidden properties when he confiscated the Tang family, and now they are just returned to the court with a different excuse.
However, it is indeed rare for this old uncle to know how to turn back when he is lost, and to make a good start for the aristocratic family.
Thinking that Chu Nanxiang was about to marry into the Yin family, she asked anxiously: "Then how are you going to deal with the Yin family?"
"Sanlang is about to return to the court in the past few days, and it's time to show his kindness to the world."
Lin Jinxiao lowered his head and looked at the unfinished seal list on his desk: "Today, my uncle voluntarily resigned from office because of his advanced age. I am determined to let him enjoy the honor and spend his old age peacefully."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the words "Conferring Yin Sinian as Duke Rong Ding" on the paper which had not dried completely, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It is said that once the emperor and the courtiers, I was worried that the little boy would kill the heroes if he became the emperor, but he was able to treat the veterans kindly and let these veterans retire with merit. It is indeed gratifying.
Then she continued to glance at the list, and when she found the names of the Ji family members on it, she couldn't help being startled.
Seeing her staring at the desk, Lin Jinxiao explained: "Rong Heng is stationed in Qinghe Sanzhou. Since he is the eldest grandson of the Ji family's second wife, he will continue to inherit the title of An Guogong. As for Ji Shangshu, the two of them, father and son, and Princess Shu Even if you have done meritorious service to the imperial court, you can't treat your uncle coldly."
"Your Majesty is very thoughtful, I think it is quite appropriate."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in agreement.
I only hope that the Ji family can contribute to the implementation of the New Deal like the Yin family, at least not to become a roadblock.
"It's late at night, let's go to bed early."
Looking at the dimly lit room, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help yawning a few times.
After talking to her for a while, Lin Jinxiao calmed down a lot. He hugged her and walked slowly to the bed. He lay down and was about to blow out the candle, but when he thought about her donation today, he felt happy again. But a little guilty.
"Although the northern regions still need assistance from the imperial court, there is no need for you to save money in the palace because there are states in the south of the Yangtze River to make up for it."
Lin Jinxiao looked at her, and said earnestly: "Although I don't like you doing business in these merchant houses, I will follow your wishes after all. In the past, I didn't have a choice in the village, but now you do it." Empress, I just hope that you won't be wronged again."
"There is no grievance."
Chu Nanzhi stared intently at his clear eyes, and said with a playful smile, "I think it's good to have an ancestor who is considerate everywhere, my husband loves me, and the little treasures are gentle and sensible. My husband wants to be a generation of wise kings, and I naturally want my husband to sing and my wife to follow suit." .”
Lin Jinxiao hugged her even tighter: "Looking at the harmony between the lady and the imperial grandmother, after all, it made you a little bit wronged. I heard that Ruiji and Ruisi stayed in the imperial grandmother's palace after returning to the palace. , although you don’t say it, but I also know that you are thinking about the two brothers and sisters, and I will go to Zhaochun Palace tomorrow to say hello and I will personally talk to the emperor’s grandmother and bring them back.”
"I can see you every day anyway, let's talk about this matter later."
Chu Nanzhi replied flatly.
It was the first time she really experienced being a mother, but she had to suffer from the pain of being separated from her children. She was indeed a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, she knew that the Empress Dowager was a reasonable person, so she wouldn't keep dominating the two little ones.
After all, he is an elderly person who has been alone in the palace for so many years. Now that he has finally won the reunion with his grandparents, there is nothing wrong with wanting to spend more time with the little treasures. If Lin Jinxiao is asked to beg for children at this time, he will seem uninterested up.
Afraid that he would continue to be troubled by this matter, Chu Nanzhi leaned into his arms and said softly: "The emperor's grandmother has been looking forward to you returning to Beijing for more than twenty years. She likes the little treasures staying with her and obeys her Well, the big deal is that I go to Zhaochun Palace a few more times a day, and seeing my ancestors take good care of Ruiji and Ruisi, I am happier than living in front of my mother."
After hearing this, Lin Jinxiao's heart was as sweet as if it had been wiped with honey.
On one side is his most respected grandmother, on the other side is his most beloved woman, and he was worried that his mother-in-law and grandson would have conflicts because of this, but Chu Nanzhi's words directly eased his heart, and on the contrary, he felt a little nauseous up.
If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for.
Pursue thin lips against her forehead, and now he only hopes to spend more time with her every day.
