There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 438

[Chapter 438, Mrs. Madam]

Yongxing In November of the nineteenth year of Yongxing, a major event that caused a sensation in Ningmen Mansion occurred in the entire Great Xia—the Jiang family discovered a gold mine at Ningmen Pass.

As soon as the news came out, the officials in the whole Daxia were boiling.

Yan Mansion, main courtyard.

“Father, what are you talking about, the Jiang family found a gold mine? Is it true?”

Daohua looked at Yan Zhigao with wide eyes, with an expression of disbelief.

Didn’t she find the gold mine?

Even if the emperor is stingy and reluctant to reward her, the credit should fall on Xiao Yeyang’s head, no matter how bad it is, it should be that Lord Wu, why has it become the Jiang family now?

Yan Zhigao glanced at the excited eldest daughter, frowned and said: “What do you look like? How many times have I told you that you should be calm when you are in trouble. If you are frizzy, how can you look like a lady?”

Dao Hua He sat back upright again, but his brows were frowned into a pimple, and his face was also tightly set.

Because of Wu Ye, Wu Ye and others, and because of Xiao Yeyang, she thought that her credit for finding the gold mine was a certainty, and no one could take it away, but she didn’t expect it to be beaten now. How could she not be excited?

“Father, is this news reliable? Who did you hear it from?”

Yan Zhigao glanced at the eldest daughter with gloomy eyebrows: “The emperor personally praised Jiang Shizi in the court hall, can it be false? At Ningmen Gate, the army has controlled it there.”

“Actually, it’s good that the Jiang family found the gold mine, after all, the gold mine involves too much profit, and ordinary people really can’t bear the credit.”

Not to mention anything else, it is a bit unusual to say that the people of King Duan also appeared in the boundary of Ningmen Mansion.

The affairs of the royal family have always been complicated. It is best for local officials without roots to get involved.

Mrs. Li sat on the side, seeing that the tea in Yan Zhigao’s tea cup had bottomed out, she added another cup for him, and then said with a little worry:

“Historically, the lands where gold, silver, and copper mines were produced were managed by the emperor’s confidantes. Now that the gold mines appear in the territory managed by the master, will the master be transferred to other places?”

Yan Zhigao was also silent. Get up: “It depends on what the emperor wants, but Ningmen Pass has always been an important military area, even if the emperor wants to send people over, it should just take over there, and it will not have any impact on other parts of Ningmen Mansion , I will most likely continue to work here.”

Mrs. Li looked a little relaxed: “I hope so.”

It was not easy for their family to gain a firm foothold in Ningmen Mansion, and the master also managed to straighten out the political affairs. Let’s go, the master’s hard work this year from early morning to late night will be in vain.

Moreover, moving is also a hassle.

Daohua didn’t listen to the discussion between Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li, and sat on the sidelines, thinking that her position as the county head was ruined.

The capital, the imperial palace.

Eunuch An sent the queen mother away respectfully, and when he returned to the main hall, he saw the emperor wearing a folded cloth with an angry face, walking aside tremblingly, not daring to make the slightest sound.

“Crack!” The

emperor threw the brush in his hand to the ground with a sullen face, and the chill in his eyes became more and more intense.

Eunuch An’s head lowered. The Empress Dowager came to the emperor to ask for a reward for the Jiang family’s discovery of the gold mine. How could this make the emperor angry?

You know, the news of the gold mine was revealed to the Jiang family by the emperor, and, at first, the Jiang family wanted to monopolize the gold mine.

At this moment, Wei Qi walked in, saw the pen on the ground, his eyes moved, and he quickly knelt down and said: “Your Majesty, the little prince sent a secret guard back, saying that he has a secret letter to hand in in person.

” Suppressing the anger in my heart: “Pass it in.”

Soon, the dusty guard walked in, and at a glance, he knew that he had not rested for several days. After kneeling down and prostrating, he carefully took the letter in his arms come out.

Eunuch An stepped forward to receive the letter, checked it once, and confirmed that there was nothing unusual before handing it over to the emperor.

The emperor took the letter with some surprise: “I just got through the letter not long ago, what is Yang’er doing writing at this time?”

Opening the letter and reading it for a while, the emperor stood up with a ‘babble’. At this moment, I couldn’t hide my excitement. I took the letter and read it several times, and then I laughed heartily.

Eunuch An and Wei Qi looked at each other, both a little surprised in their hearts, the emperor hadn’t been this happy for a long time.

The emperor glanced at the map of the gold mine again, walked back and forth in the hall for a while, and when he calmed down, he waved his hand, signaling all the people in the hall to retreat, leaving only Eunuch An and Wei Qi.   After the people left, the emperor sat back on the dragon chair again: ” Yang’er sent a

letter saying that they found another gold mine.” As soon as the words came out, Eunuch An and Wei Qi widened their eyes at the same time.

Congratulations in unison.

The emperor tapped his fingers on the table: “At present, only Yang’er and the three brothers and sisters of the Yan family know about this gold mine. Wei Qi, pack up and leave for Zhongzhou today. You will be responsible for mining that gold mine yourself.” Eyes squinted, “Remember, don’t let the news leak out.”

The gold mine found before was publicized by Jiang’s family, and now they know what they should know and what they shouldn’t. Staring, there are not many that can be appropriated.

Now this place, he wants to put it in a dark place, and he can do a lot of things in private.

Wei Qi solemnly said: “I accept orders from humble officials.” The

emperor looked at the letter again, and suddenly became silent.

The two gold mines were both found by girls from the Yan family, and because of her relationship with her mother and uncle, it would be difficult not to grant a reward, but the timing of the reward is not right at this moment.

After thinking for a while, the emperor looked at Eunuch An: “Did Dong Jiancheng, the chief minister of Zhongzhou, write a book not long ago, talking about the taxation and political achievements of the various governments in Zhongzhou?”

Eunuch An knew what the emperor wanted to ask as soon as he thought about it, and smiled. Nodding his head, he said, “That’s right. It focused on the political achievements of Mr. Yan, the magistrate of Ningmen Mansion, and said that his achievements in governing Ningmen Mansion are remarkable.”

The emperor smiled and said: “Yan Zhigao is a good one. The high-yield wheat varieties have been promoted to other provinces, and the tax revenue of various places has increased a bit. He is a capable minister.”

If you can’t reward the small ones, then reward the big ones.

In the early morning of the next day, some officials praised the Jiang family’s achievements in finding gold mines, and asked the emperor to reward the Jiang family. The emperor glanced at those officials, smiled and lifted Yan Zhigao out, and praised them lavishly.

Seeing this, the officials who originally thought about transferring to the Ningmen Mansion stopped thinking.

The emperor praised Yan Zhigao at this time, and made it clear that Yan Zhigao would continue to serve as the magistrate of Ningmen Prefecture.

In the afternoon of that day, the two imperial decrees left Beijing at the same time and went straight to Ningmen Mansion.

A few days later, in the Ningmen Mansion, the Yan family.

All members of the Yan family knelt down in the hall, respectfully listening to the eunuch’s reading of the imperial decree.

“Fengtian Chengyun made the emperor’s statement: Yan Zhi, the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, was superior to the government during his administration. Qing Ze Yu Menlu; his wife Li Shi, Shu Shen Qi Yi, Rou Jia Wei Ze. I hereby regard Tan Enfeng Er as the fourth-rank “respectful person”.”

Dao Hua knelt on the ground, unable to understand the tedious and complicated part in the middle The rhetoric, but I understand the last two sentences.

Grandmother and mother were appointed wives.

Daohua raised her head and took a quick look at Daddy Cheap, seeing the obvious surprise on his face, she suddenly thought about it.

The emperor rewarded grandmother and mother at this time. Could it be because of the gold mine?

After the eunuch finished reading the imperial decree, he looked at Yan Zhigao with a smile: “Lord Yan, accept the decree and thank you.”

Yan Zhigao raised his hands high, with a respectful expression on his face: “I thank the Lord for your grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live.”

Seeing that it was over like this, Dao Hua felt indescribably disappointed.

Her county head is really gone!

Daohua stood up with the others, seeing her grandmother and mother happily accepting the order, the disappointment in her heart subsided, but the emperor did not give her credit to the end, and finally gave their family a little reward.
