The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1894

[1894. Chapter 1803 Dare to laugh at Huang Chao’s lack of husband]

Naturally, there are inevitably some headaches for Wang Shouren.

Everything is ready, after all, it is still a matter of money.

It’s not that Wang Shouren is extravagant.

It’s that this new type of war has gone through many drills and exercises, but in reality, no one knows how to fight it.

The strategies formulated were changed again and again, and the tactics were constantly revised.

In addition…the large army needs to cross the desert, and supplies are extremely difficult.

Some people even proposed to send out troops and horses first, and then recruit craftsmen and civilians to build a simple railway starting from Yumen Pass to keep pace with the army.

Without silver…all is in vain.

Wang Shouren’s biggest headache was that the clever woman had no rice. Soon he discovered that the Ministry of Revenue… began to default on money and food.

It is the most normal thing for the household department to be in arrears.

They had a tradition of defaulting on military pay.

The expenses this time were so huge. After obediently giving a large amount of money and food at first, slowly… he started to do the same thing again.

Wang Shouren went to Hubu several times.

The other side started to be perfunctory and pushy. First they asked you to check the accounts, but then they felt that the accounts could not be checked anymore, so they said it would take time for the money and food to be released from the warehouse. Let’s do it next month. It will be done next month.

At the beginning of the next month, it was still the same…

Wang Shouren stared at Jin Gui, the Minister of Revenue, with fire in their eyes.

Jin Gui’s character is simple and quiet, and it is not easy to hide his character. Speak truthfully in front of others without any scruples. In other words, he is a man of fiery temperament.

In addition, he has presided over the imperial examinations many times, advocating elegance and opposing flashy writing style. Therefore, he is still a very down-to-earth person.

Real people are good at everything, but they are stingy.

Not only was he stingy in his position at the Ministry of Household Affairs, but he was also frugal at home!

I heard that he was on duty, and when he had nothing else to do, he repaired a book. What was he repairing? It is said to be a book called “Shi Jian Tang”. This book is not for others to read, but for his own children and grandchildren. What is in it? The content is mostly about how to be diligent and thrifty and how to avoid extravagance and waste.

He was extremely dissatisfied with the expenditure of the Ministry of War and had reported it many times.

His Majesty apparently shelved his memorial.

Well… in this case… I have to use the old tradition of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

How the Ministry of Finance used to deal with those Qiu Ba is still used now.

Either you live frugally and take the initiative to reduce expenses, or… I’ll drain you to death.

At this time, Wang Shouren said with a sullen face: “Does Jin Butang really want to do this? The war is urgent now…”

Jin Gui sighed: “Wang Butang, how could I not know this? In fact, I… also did it for this matter. Many I haven’t had a good night’s sleep. Don’t I worry about this war? But… Wang Butang, the imperial court has its rules and regulations, and the household department has the rules of the household department. The money and food must be released from the treasury, and the silver must be implemented. Why? Maybe it’s a matter of one or two sentences? Wang Butang, how about I urge you again?”

Wang Shouren: “…”

Jin Gui sighed again: “Wang Butang, you are still young and you have a lot to do in the future. Don’t be in a hurry, let’s take a long-term view first, governing a big country is like cooking a small delicacy…”

Wang Shouren’s forehead wrinkled a few lines, and he finally resisted the urge to push this man to the ground and beat him violently.

After all, he is a respectable person.

And as I get older, my temper becomes a little better.

“Okay, farewell.” Wang Shouren turned and left.

Jin Gui looked at Wang Shouren’s back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Huh, I want money…

He is calm and relaxed, but he is not afraid of Wang Shouren. All his actions are in compliance with the rules, and everyone in the household department also acts according to the rules, and there is no fault at all.

What’s more, he has always been highly regarded by Liu Gong and Li Gong, and he can still be confident when he comes to the imperial court.

In the evening, it’s time to watch.

As usual, Jin Gui returned to his mansion. He was thinking about his book revision. That book was of great importance. He wanted to pass on his knowledge and experience of thrift and thrift to his descendants.

But today… something felt strange, so he asked the steward: “Where is Zhengxing?”

Zhengxing is his son, and he usually studies at home. At this time, as a filial son, he should come to greet his father.

The steward said: “I was called by someone an hour ago. I haven’t come back yet.”

“Who called me?”

“Over there in Xishan… I seem to have heard that… it’s the regent, and the regent wants to talk to him… …What are you talking about, oh, yes…talk about life.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Gui suddenly blushed and trembled: “Then Wang Shouren…he…he went to complain to the regent? Take care of everything… If you have the ability… come to me!”

…

On the other side, Jin Zhengxing was called to Xishan anxiously.

He couldn’t understand…

why did the regent want to see him?

So, he waited in the hall tremblingly.

Not long after, Fang Jifan arrived.

Look at this silly young man.

Fang Jifan was very satisfied, and said after greetings: “I have heard of your name a long time ago, and I know that you can also compose poems. Oh… I am also a bit elegant in my daily life, but you also know that I have many things to do every day, and I have beautiful articles in my heart, so I am not afraid of them. It’s time to express your feelings.”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted the submissive Jin Zhengxing on the shoulder. Fang Jifan continued in a pleasant tone: “Don’t be afraid, I’m just chatting with you. You also know that it’s hard to find a true friend and a confidant. It’s hard to find! Come, drink tea, drink tea.”

So he said a few words to Jin Zhengxing.

Jin Zhengxing took a sip of tea and finally calmed down a bit seeing that Fang Jifan seemed quite easy-going.

Fang Jifan asked: “How is your running calligraphy?”

“Your Highness, the student… the student has learned some.”

“You are too modest. After you became Jin Butang, why did you only learn some? I see that you are talented, and If you come from a famous family, you must be good at writing. If not, I happen to have a poem, how about you help me copy it?” How

dare Jin Zhengxing refuse to agree, so someone brought the Four Treasures of the Study.

Jin Zhengxing dipped in ink and picked up his pen.

Fang Jifan put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and chanted: “My heart is in Shandong and my body is in Wu, and the rivers and seas are fluttering.”

Jin Zhengxing frowned slightly, this poem is very ordinary.

Of course…it’s understandable when you think that this is what the regent did. He must be at this level.

So he picked up his pen and wrote it down.

I began to mutter in my heart again, since this place is not Wu, and the regent has nothing to do with Shandong, this poem is… weird.

Fang Jifan was reading a poem and staring at him, but it made Jin Zhengxing’s heart tremble, and he couldn’t care less about what he was thinking, he was busy writing like a dragon and a phoenix!

Fang Jifan continued: “He is like Ling Yunzhi…” When

Jin Zhengxing heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh in his heart. This poem is mediocre and clever, and it is Ling Yunzhi’s trick. The level of the regent… Oh, it’s hard to describe in a word. where.

Fang Jifan finally said: “You dare to laugh at Huang Chao and you are not a husband.”

Jin Zhengxing continued to write, but… when he wrote it for ten feet… he chewed it carefully and felt that something was wrong.

Fang Jifan urged: “Write quickly, write quickly.”

So, Jin Zhengxing was in a hurry and continued to write down the word husband at the end.

As soon as I finished writing…his expression suddenly changed.

He is Ruosui Ling Yunzhi, dares to laugh at Huang Chao for not being her husband?

What Lingyunzhi?

Huang Chao… isn’t this a rebel?

Laughing at Huang Chao for not being a husband… Damn it… If you think Huang Chao is not a husband enough, doesn’t that mean… that you want to make a bigger noise than Huang Chao?

This… this… this is anti-poetry.

Jin Zhengxing subconsciously turned pale.

His body was shaking and his mind was buzzing.

So… he turned around and wanted to leave.

Obviously, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, it is a den of thieves.

But just as he turned around, he found that Fang Jifan’s guards were already coming in with swords in hand.

Wang Xiaohu clapped the machete in his hand and stared at him coldly with a scary smile: “Why, you are going to leave after writing a counter-poem? Then first ask if my machete will be accepted.”

Jin Zhengxing suddenly felt all over his body. Shivering, he turned around subconsciously and saw Fang Jifan looking at him with a smile.

Reflexively… Jin Zhengxing knelt down: “Prince Regent, spare your life… this… this was not written by a student…”

Fang Jifan had some time to relax and said slowly: “How can you say this was not written by you? The words are in black and white on the paper, and the ink is still there. “I haven’t done it yet. Can’t I check your handwriting? Even if you say it to the contrary, this theory doesn’t make sense. We are a place of truth and rely on evidence in everything. We will never do anything to frame you.

” He cried. He was not a person who had seen the world. At this time, he had no idea at all. He just kowtowed like a fool.

Fang Jifan took the poem, blew the ink, and praised: “This running calligraphy is quite good. He is a talented person. He is worthy of being the queen of Jin Budang. He has deep family connections. It’s a pity…I want to rebel.”

“I…I …Your Highness is slandering students…” Jin Zhengxing couldn’t help but retort.

Fang Jifan laughed loudly and said: “What you said is wrong. How did I slander you? Tell me, we, Fang Jifan, want to kill you, but we still need to slander you for rebellion? We, Fang Jifan, have a hundred ways to kill you. Goutou, you are such a dog, do you know why I ask you to write a poem? Because I, Fang Jifan, never kill innocent people indiscriminately. I always follow the rules when doing things. Unruly things are too dirty. I don’t care about doing such things. “

Jin Zhengxing collapsed on the ground as if struck by lightning.

Fang Jifan then gritted his teeth and said: “The hundreds of thousands of soldiers in front of us are on the alert, but your father is playing his official tricks here in the capital. Why, does he think that the emperor can’t cure him? My student Wang Bo’an, then Can’t help him? He can raise his tail to the sky, thinking that no one in the world can cure him? Do you really think that Fang Jifan is a vegetarian? I can let you know whether you keep this poem or not. The chickens and dogs are restless, but if this money and food are not paid out within three days and get into the hands of the soldiers, then… you, father and son, go to meet in the underworld. Okay, Wang Xiaohu, put away the knife and let Get out of here, this piece of shit!”

………

and.
