Chapter 40 What about their reward?
In the court hall, the ministers praised each other one after another.
"The third master cares about the people, his love knows no bounds, and it is a blessing to the people!"
"The third master cares about the common people and embraces the sufferings in his mind. The blessings of the people are also the blessings of the Tianyuan Kingdom!"
…
Xiao Jinhuan's lips raised slightly as he listened to the ministers' praise.
When everyone had finished praising him, Uncle Changchun, who was in his sixties, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have also donated one hundred thousand taels to relieve the suffering of the people in winter!"
After hearing this, the ministers once again praised loudly: "Changchun Bo spends one hundred thousand taels every year to relieve the suffering of the people. He is really an example for us!"
"The Third Master and Changchun Bo are the most charitable people in the capital!"
"Third Master and Uncle Changchun's concern for the common people should be worth learning from."
…
The ministers praised Uncle Changchun on the surface, but in their hearts they couldn't help but criticize him.
Uncle Changchun married a teenage step-brother when he was in his forties, so he made the right choice!
At least, I’ve made a lot of money over the years!
If Uncle Changchun hadn't donated 100,000 taels to charity every year in recent years, his title would have been gone in his generation.
How could his son be crowned the crown prince and serve as an errand in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?
The most important thing is that the step-sister is young and beautiful, and she only gave birth to a daughter. The money she borrowed from her natal family can also pave the way for the eldest son of the original wife!
There are no such troublesome things as brothers becoming enemies and fighting openly and secretly in the house!
He is simply a model of a virtuous wife and a filial son!
The emperor happily touched his beard and said: "Haha... good! Jinghuan and Changchun Bo are the examples for all officials!"
The emperor picked up another memorial and continued: "Our Tianyuan Kingdom not only has officials who care about the people, but also benevolent businessmen who care about the people! Yesterday afternoon, the Ministry of Revenue received a donation of 500,000 taels of silver from Qin Tingyun, a citizen, to the officers stationed on the border.
The soldiers bought cotton-padded clothes, and the richest man in Qin also promised to spend 300,000 shi of grain as military rations so that the soldiers would be well fed and clothed, and have more strength to protect their homes and country! We, the people of Tianyuan Kingdom, have officials who love the people like sons,
It is truly a blessing to the people of our dynasty to have such people who care about the stability of the world! It is truly a blessing to me!"
Five hundred thousand taels of silver!!!
Three hundred thousand stones of food!!!
All the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar!
The first reaction of many people was to turn their heads and look at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.
How much silver is there in the treasury?
How much grain is currently in the treasury's granary?
Five hundred thousand taels is equal to Tianwuguo's monthly tax, right?
Qin Tingyun deserves to be the richest man!
Xiao Kyung-hwan has a dark face! Five hundred thousand taels instantly compares to his one hundred thousand taels!
In terms of rewards, wouldn’t he only get one compliment from his imperial grandfather?!
The prince's eyes flashed, he was indeed the richest Qin Tingyun!
As soon as he made the move, the sum of silver and grain would be one million taels!
In this case, he must still have a lot of money left!
It's a pity that Qin Tingyun has been working for the King of Jin, and now the two families have become in-laws. Otherwise, why would he worry about not having money to use when he recruits someone under his sect?
But now, the Qin family can’t stay!!!
It's strange that Qin Tingyun blocked so many of his ways of making money! But he didn't know what to do and took refuge with the King of Jin!
The prince said loudly: "My father's great blessings have spread to the sky and blessed the world. Only in our dynasty can we have such good officials and good people! Our Tianyuan Kingdom will coexist with heaven and earth forever!"
All the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty hurriedly echoed: "Your Majesty's blessings will spread to heaven and bring blessings to the world. Our Tianyuan Kingdom will live forever with heaven and earth!"
…
Xiao Kyungxuan glanced at the prince and said in a low voice to King Jin: "Father, won't you take the opportunity to help Uncle Qin get a job?"
King Jin looked at his son in surprise when he heard this. He knew how to take credit for his future father-in-law so quickly?
Weren’t you unwilling to marry before?
"Your father-in-law is a real man and doesn't care about such nonsense."
"This time is different." Xiao Jinhuan said calmly.
Zhou Tong is low-key and cunning. Last time he followed him, his people were careless and lost him!
But this increasingly indicates that there is a problem!
The Qin family is definitely being targeted.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will set out immediately. If something happens to the Qin family, water far away cannot save the fire nearby.
Xiao Kyungxuan thought about the conversation she heard yesterday between her and the girl from Changchun House. The memorial for donating money and materials to the imperial court this morning was in the hands of the emperor's grandfather. This was clearly laid out step by step by her.
In this case, he will naturally help her!
Of course, he was also curious about what she was guarding against and what she was planning.
King Jin was startled, this time was indeed different!
He didn't expect Qin Tingyun to donate money directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs in such a high-profile manner just now!
Presumably it's for his baby daughter!
In the past, he just wanted to do business in a low profile and did not want to take credit. He respected his opinion and only promoted his brother a few times as compensation.
Now that he wanted to keep a high profile, King Jin felt it was necessary to help his old friend.
So he stood up and said: "Back to my father, Qin Tingyun not only donated 500,000 taels this time, but also in the past ten years, when our army was fighting with the enemy, he had sent medicine and food in time countless times.
Save our army from danger! Qin Tingyun keeps a low profile and doesn't want to publicize what he has done for the soldiers, but his son couldn't help but publicize it for him this time! He has donated less than one million supplies and medicinal materials to the army over the years.
There were hundreds of thousands of taels. There were several battles between the two armies, but his supplies arrived first before the court's supplies arrived, saving the lives of the king and the soldiers..."
The King of Jin was eloquent and praised Qin Tingyun from head to toe like a firecracker!
He finished until his mouth was dry, "...These are not the nonsense of this king. All the soldiers on the border and the people know this one by one! Qin Tingyun does good deeds without leaving his name, but Erchen feels that he
He is the real example of the world's rich businessmen and officials! I feel that common people like Qin Tingyun and such rich businessmen should be rewarded!"
The emperor nodded and said happily: "I will find out the truth about this matter and reward you based on your merits! If this is true, I will be rewarded heavily!"
After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the Minister of Household Affairs: "You use the money donated by Lin Aiqing, Jinghuan and Changchun Bo to buy food as soon as possible, and then start setting up tents to provide porridge, so that the poor people can have a bowl of hot porridge as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue responded hurriedly.
"I will come here early this morning to retreat!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Xiao Kyunghuan: "..."
Uncle Changchun: "..."
Forget it??!
What about their rewards?
Is one hundred thousand taels donated to a lonely person?
The two of them were depressed and embarrassed to ask for rewards.
However, what makes them even more depressed lies behind!
The household department is located not far from the palace gate.
When all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty walked out of the palace gate, they saw three hundred thousand shi of grain donated by the Qin family lined up in a long queue to be transported to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Both sides of the street were lined with people watching the excitement, praising the Qin family for their kindness and for being truly good people!
The Minister of Household Affairs was extremely happy. He looked at Xiao Jinhuan and Uncle Changchun, and said respectfully: "I wonder when the third master and Uncle Changchun will donate the 100,000 taels? It's easy for me to arrange it."
Xiao Kyunghuan: "I will have someone deliver it after I return home."
Uncle Changchun: "My own too!"
Then both of them hurried back to find Lin Ruyu to ask for money.
Lin Ruyu had known for a long time that the Qin family had made such a big fuss, and now she had already rushed to Qin Xi to ask for money.
