After the emperor finished reviewing another memorial, he put down his pen and instructed the little eunuch: "This matter is ordered by Zhao Qinghe, a scholar of Wenyuange, to handle it immediately. The river in Shandong collapsed and millions of victims were displaced. Food and silver needed to be allocated quickly, and then from My inner treasure offered [-] taels, and rush to Shandong with him. Go!" The little eunuch took the memorial and hurried out to deliver the decree to the cabinet.

  Seeing that Jia Zhen was still lying at the door of the hall, the emperor showed a smile on his face, and said, "Kneel closer and answer."

  Jia Zhen said loudly, "Yes!" Just as he was about to stand up and walk over, the emperor seemed to be saying to kneel closer?I had no choice but to move my knees forward a little bit.But the floor tiles were too hard, Jia Zhen endured the pain, and finally crawled forward with all four limbs.

  What face is there in front of the emperor?

  It was only after she climbed to a place that was ten feet away from the steps of the throne that Jia Zhen stopped, knelt properly, and lay on her stomach.

  The emperor was very satisfied with Jia Zhen's obedience.He picked up a book from the imperial case and threw it to Jia Zhen's side: "First, I'll give you some good news, there is a vacancy in the right wing general of Jinwuwei, I've been thinking about it for a few months, I'll be cheaper for you today, and I'll take office tomorrow. Make no mistake!"

  Jia Zhen was shocked, is this a promotion?Does that mean they won't punish me?Thinking of this, Jia Zhen's thoughts came alive.He hurriedly picked up the book, which was indeed a memorial for the emperor's approval of the Ministry of War's request to appoint Jia Zhen as the commander-in-chief of the right wing of Jinwuwei. The word "quasi" in vermilion was particularly pleasing to the eye.Jia Zhen's voice was full of excitement: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Jia Zhen will definitely do her job well. Long live my emperor!" As she spoke, she kowtowed three times.

  Unexpectedly, the emperor said with a stern face: "The sound of kowtowing is not as loud as it starts."

  "Ah!" Jia Zhen couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, but he knew one thing. When the emperor is not happy, don't fight the emperor.As soon as he gritted his teeth, he really smashed his head on the floor tiles, and after a few bangs, there were bloodstains on his head immediately.

  The emperor asked, "Does it hurt?"

  Jia Zhen lowered her head, still buzzing in her head. "It hurts to go back to Lord Long Live!"

  The emperor said: "It's good to know it hurts!" Then he asked: "What were you afraid of just now? Did you have a ghost in your heart?"

  Jia Zhen felt a sudden shock and hurriedly denied: "Your Majesty, that's because my servant has to see Tianyan today, and I can't help myself when I'm excited..."

  "Bullshit!" The emperor shouted coldly, "Do you try again?"

  Jia Zhen was dumbfounded.Just got a little carried away.Damn it, damn it!

  The emperor said coldly: "Ask you again, is there a ghost in your heart?"

  A substantive pressure hits my face, is this the legendary Tianwei so close?

  Jia Zhen began to tremble all over again. No one could stand this sudden shock!So he decided to confess and leave it to his fate!

  He knelt down a little again, nodding his head on the floor tiles, "Back to the emperor's words, the minister heard rumors outside, saying that the minister had formed a party for selfishness, and the minister was frightened, thinking that the emperor was going to take me for guilt, so he trembled and sweated like rain. !"

  The emperor was noncommittal, and only asked indifferently, "Have you formed a party for personal gain?"

  Jia Zhen immediately replied: "I can make some hard money by doing business with my colleagues, but there is no way to form a party for personal gain."

  "Oh?" The emperor gave Jia Zhen a meaningful look and asked casually, "Then how much money did you make?"

  Jia Zhen has not yet adapted to the way the emperor asks questions, and just now asked about the matter of forming a party for personal gain, why did she suddenly ask how much money she made?There must be something tricky!

  He secretly glanced at the imperial case, and only left a corner of the bright yellow dragon robe.After hesitating for a while, he asked carefully, "Your Majesty, are you asking how much money the minister earns in the Chamber of Commerce, or all the income of the minister's family?"

  The emperor seemed to be a little interested, "Let's talk about it!"

  Jia Zhen hurriedly lowered her head and thought for a while before replying: "Your Majesty, my minister paid a total of more than [-] taels in dividends to the Chamber of Commerce last year. The land leased under the name of Ningguo Mansion is about [-] taels, and the other housing properties add up to [-] taels. Based on this calculation, the minister's income last year was about [-] taels."

  "[-] taels?" The emperor smiled and said, "It is considered a wealthy family in the capital."

  Jia Zhen is a little puzzled by the second monk. Does this mean he wants to know his family background so he can raid his home?

  He was nervous in his heart and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this minister is also being forced!"

  The emperor picked up another memorial, without looking at Jia Zhen, nor did he stop him from going on.

  Jia Zhen is in a dilemma, should I say it or not?As soon as he gritted his teeth, he finished talking about how to find out that Lai Erzhong was full of personal pockets and how to deal with it.

  After a while, the emperor put down his memorial and said softly, "Then Lai Er was really scared to death?"

  Jia Zhen was so frightened that she hurriedly kowtowed and denied: "Your Majesty, whether Lai Er was scared to death, I don't know, but it has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

  After speaking, he didn't care about the pain, and slammed his head down, "Even if I borrow the eight courages of the minister, the minister would not dare to mess around at the feet of the emperor! The emperor's lesson!"

  "Okay!" The emperor reprimanded impatiently: "A greedy slave will die when he dies, and I didn't ask you about your sin. You are so eager to deny it, and you will be suspicious! Get up and speak!"

  Jia Zhen struggled to stand up and quietly rubbed her numb thighs.

  The emperor winked, and the little eunuch on the side handed it over with a towel.Jia Zhen took it and wiped the blood on her forehead.

  I only heard the emperor scolding: "You are also the dignified earl of Dashun, and the chief military officer of Jinwu before the imperial palace. Where has your usual bearing gone? A wretched appearance has simply lost my face!"

  Jia Zhen didn't dare to say yes, she just calmed down, took a deep breath, regained the attitude of some high-ranking officials, and stood slightly bowed towards the emperor.

  The emperor then nodded, regardless of Jia Zhen reading the memorial again.

  So Jia Zhen kept her posture and stood for at least a stick of incense, and did not dare to let out the air.

  When the emperor finally finished reviewing the large pile of memorials, he didn't know what the old man was thinking, and only tapped on the imperial case with his fingers.Every time she knocked, Jia Zhen's heart pounded violently, making Jia Zhen want to die, and her heart couldn't take it anymore.

  Seeing Jia Zhen's always cautious appearance, the emperor didn't take it too seriously. "The so-called wealth and silk move people's hearts. No wonder people say that you form a party for personal gain. It doesn't matter if you form a party, but your partnership for personal profit is real."

  Jia Zhen immediately wanted to defend herself, but was frightened by the emperor's look.

  "Speaking of which, who participated in the stock?"

  Jia Zhen battled with each other, lamenting that the matter of the Chamber of Commerce must have turned yellow!

  He lowered his head and lowered his voice, and his voice was mixed with vibrato: "In the Honglou Chamber of Commerce, [-]% of the officials, [-]% of Qi Guogong, Zhiguo Gong, and Shanguo Gonggong, [-]% of Beijing Prince, Nan'an, The palaces of Xining and Dongping will each account for half, and the remaining half will be under the control of King Beijing."

  Hearing this, the emperor laughed and said, "It's reasonable."

  What do you mean?

  What do you mean? !

  Old man, what are you trying to do?

  Jia Zhen didn't dare to speculate on the emperor's mind any more, and only hoped that the emperor would give a clear statement.Even if you die, let's be happy!

  But the emperor was a little annoyed when he saw that Jia Zhen didn't understand his deep meaning, "After you are also the heroes of the founding of the country, the court has never treated them badly. You must know that you should repay your kindness! Don't make some gangs and provoke people Suspect."

  what?

  Knowing the grace picture!

  Does the emperor's words seem to have another meaning?

  Jia Zhen suppressed the little heart that was about to jump out, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, do you want to..."

  The emperor shot over with a sharp look.You bastard, be careful with your words, I am the emperor, rich in the world, how can you be attracted to something the size of a sesame seed?

  Jia Zhen thought for half a second, and immediately made the most important decision in his life, "Your Majesty, ministers and others voluntarily hand over the Honglou Chamber of Commerce to you."

  The emperor shook his head, "The court has its own laws. If you haven't violated the law, you can't take the property of your ministers without authorization. Do you think I'm a foolish monarch?"

  Jia Zhen listened to the emperor's words, and her tone was much softer than before!He was instantly refreshed and felt that he had the emperor's pulse!In layman's terms, it is the kingly way to make money together with everyone!

  Is there anything thicker than the emperor's thigh?

  Where is the punishment?It's just a good thing that falls from the sky!

  Jia Zhen forbeared the joy in her heart and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I just heard that the flood in Shandong has affected millions of people, and I feel uneasy in my heart, and I hate that there is no long-term strategy to save the people from suffering. I also heard that the emperor personally allocated money, Such a virtuous and wise move is truly admired and admired by the minister. After thinking about it, the minister can neither share the worries of the court, but the Honglou Chamber of Commerce has been established for many years, and it has become quite large. Please be considerate of the emperor and wait for a loyal and loyal minister, as requested by the prospective minister!"

  A smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth, "It's rare that you have this kind of heart, but I can't allow you to ask for it."

  Jia Zhen was in a hurry, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again, "Your Majesty, if you don't allow it, the minister will not get up!"

  "Hey, are you still relying on it?" The emperor was so happy that he couldn't help but scolded: "Stupid! Stupid! You handed over the Chamber of Commerce to me so that I can also do business?"

  Jia Zhen understood in seconds, took a few steps forward, and said with a flattering smile: "If the emperor trusts the ministers, the ministers are willing to share the emperor's worries." After speaking, she was a little unwilling, and added: "If the emperor can give you some hard money , that's even better!"

  The emperor pointed at Jia Zhen and scolded: "I think you have fallen into the eyes of money. After all, how much do you want?"

  Jia Zhen didn't dare to ask the emperor, licked her face and smiled: "How much is the emperor's kindness."

  The emperor held out two fingers.Jia Zhen didn't know what to do.

  "I don't care how you operate, as long as you turn in [-] taels of silver every year!" The emperor finally revealed his ultimate goal.

  Two hundred thousand taels sounds like a lot, but compared to hugging the emperor's thighs, it's a bargain!

  So Jia Zhen hurriedly agreed, for him, not to mention [-] taels, it was [-] taels, as long as it was a little ruthless, it was not impossible!

  Next, the ruler and his ministers got each other, a heroic smile, a flattering smile, all got what they needed.

  When he arrived, the emperor ordered again, "Bring some of your dew, cream, etc., and bring some exquisite ones!"

  Jia Zhen rolled her eyes and replied with a smile: "I will pay tribute every month in the future, for the ladies in the palace to choose."

  The emperor was too lazy to pay attention to Jia Zhen's careful thoughts, "Since it is my own property, is it still a tribute?"

  This is what you've been waiting for!

  Jia Zhen couldn't help but hurriedly said, "No, no. From now on, the Honglou Chamber of Commerce will belong to the emperor." He simply gritted his teeth, "I will present the recipes of these things when I get home, so that you can have a look."

  The emperor glanced at Jia Zhen with admiration, "You are willing!"

  Jia Zhen flattered: "This is the duty of a courtier." After that, she looked at the emperor eagerly.

  The emperor smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't give it to others! Get out!" This is to drive him away.

  Jia Zhen suddenly felt that her bones were several kilos lighter, and before she left the palace, her legs and feet would be uneasy.So tripped again.

  "Hahaha!" The emperor laughed loudly...

  When Jia Zhen returned to Ningguo Mansion, Chen Zhengqing, Ma Wu, Shi Wei, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan came to inquire about the news.

  Jia Zhen smiled and said, "There are three things to announce. First, the emperor ordered me to be the commander-in-chief of the right wing of Jinwuwei." Everyone was amazed, this is a good thing!Jia Zhen paused, causing them to urge in unison.Jia Zhencai said slowly: "Second, I will hand over the Chamber of Commerce to the emperor!" As soon as the words came out, Chen Zhengqing immediately became angry, Ma Wu hurriedly stepped forward to hold him, and persuaded: "Breaking money and eliminating disasters, let alone what the emperor wants? Jia Zhen looked at Chen Zhengqing with contempt, "Look at your shallow eyelids! I haven't said the third thing yet!"

  Feng Ziying bowed to Jia Zhen and said, "Where's my uncle Zhen, can you just say it's fine?"

  Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Although the merchant gave the emperor, as long as the emperor pays [-] taels of silver every year, the rest will remain the same."

  "[-] taels!" Ma Wu was shocked and lamented, "It's over!"

  Shi Wei's eyes lit up, and tremblingly asked, "Then we will be doing things for the emperor in the future?"

  Jia Zhen nodded, "You still understand. With the emperor as support, who would dare to say that we form a party for selfishness! Aren't we going to expand to other provinces? The emperor's, the rest is all ours."

  After explaining the truth clearly, Chen Zhengqing and others suddenly realized, and left with a big smile.They are still waiting for news!It is time to take back all the property that was transferred privately, so as not to be embarrassed!

Chapter Seventy Nine

  Speaking of Jia Zhen returning to You's Hospital, Qingwen leaned on the railing and looked out anxiously.When she saw Jia Zhen come in, she immediately ran over and asked, "Master, how is it?"

  Jia Zhen was in a good mood at the moment, and pulled her into her arms involuntarily.Qingwen's face blushed, and she spat, "I'm dying, let go!" But the more she struggled, the tighter Jia Zhen held her.Qingwen's delicate and soft body twisted in Jia Zhen's arms, which made Jia Zhen very excited somewhere, and he took the opportunity to peck Qingwen on the forehead.

  "Yeah!" Qingwen looked at Jia Zhen angrily. Seeing that Jia Zhen came close to her mouth again, she couldn't break free, so she had to cover her face, her neck turning red with shame.

  The two hugged each other so ambiguous, and Qingwen gave up the struggle as if resigned.Just when Jia Zhen had further plans, the third sister happened to run out of it and bumped into this scene.With a straight temper, she immediately rolled up her sleeves, pulled Jia Zhen and Qingwen away, and said tenderly, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

  Qingwen stomped her feet angrily and ran away with a "Bah".The third sister's eyebrows stood upright, her hands on her hips, and she fiercely stopped in front of Jia Zhen, scolding: "Brother-in-law, you actually bullied Qingwen..."
