MTL - After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister-Chapter 274 274th
Du Shuai woke up, everyone was relieved, the queen mother pulled Du Shuai's old tears, almost forever.
Mu Wanqing looked at the thin and immature Du Shuai, and felt a little sour in her heart, but no matter what, he still survived.
"Du Shuai, congratulations."
Du Shuai couldn't speak, just blinked.
He still needs to recuperate, and everyone didn't stay much. As soon as Mu Wanqing went out, she was surrounded by imperial doctors.
They haven't cracked the antidote yet, Du Shuai's awakening is the effect of Mu Wanqing's detoxification pill.
Mu Wanqing looked regretful, "It's only one, hey, if I knew that the detoxification pill was real, I might be reluctant to take it out."
The Imperial Physician doesn't really believe it, "Really not?"
It stands to reason that the only antidote is the treasure at the bottom of the box.
They must be reluctant to put it in their own perspective.
"If there is, I will just crack it and put it in the store and sell it. How can I be worthy of myself if I don't sell it for tens of millions?" , I lost tens of millions, and my heart hurts."
The image of her love of making money is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone actually believes this rhetoric.
Others may treasure it, but for Mu Wanqing, making money is the most important thing.
Even the courtiers who are old and treacherous also believed it, which shows how successful Mu Wanqing's people are.
Mu Wanqing retreated safely, and the Queen Mother also rewarded her with many good things.
Everyone thought it was over, but soon after, news spread that Mrs. Du had died of a sudden illness.
Death? Mu Wanqing, who was having dinner, heard the news and had a chopstick in her hand. How could it be possible?
The maid asked softly, "Are you going to check?"
Mu Wanqing lowered her eyes, "No need, get ready, and come to the door tomorrow to express condolences."
"Yes."
White lanterns were hung up in the Du residence, and everyone in the residence was **** with white cloths.
DPRK and Chinese officials brought their families to the door to express their condolences. They dressed very plainly and looked very solemn.
Mu Wanqing was wearing a blue dress, no makeup, only a pair of pearl earrings.
She walked into the white mourning hall, Miss Du Er and her three children knelt in front of the mourning, all of them pale. Mu Wanqing stepped forward, put on the three pillars of fragrance, and watched it for a while.
In any case, everything is settled, dust to dust, dust to dust.
She walked up to the haggard Miss Du Er, "Sorry, take care, this family depends on you for support."
Miss Du's strength was as strong as being poked with a hole, and the big tears rolled down her eyes. She was under too much pressure these days.
She had to rely on her to take care of things inside and out. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was sympathetic and sent the elderly in the palace to help with the funeral.
With the help of these people, nothing went wrong and the funeral was held in a decent manner.
"I have written to inform Zedi and eldest sister, but they can't catch up." This is her biggest regret.
"It happened so suddenly, no one expected it." Mu Wanqing sighed softly in her heart, "Is it convenient to meet Du Shuai?"
Ms. Du Er shook her head slightly, with pain in her eyes, "Father is too sad and can't get sick."
Mu Wanqing didn't force it, she just asked as usual, patted Miss Du Er on the shoulder, "If you need help, just ask."
Miss Du Er grew rapidly during this period, and her expression became more determined, "Thank you, there is the palace to help with cooking, everything is okay."
When leaving, Mu Wanqing glanced back, her eyes flickered, her meaning unclear.
The maid noticed something different, "Master, is there any problem?"
Mu Wanqing shook her head, "No, let's go."
The deceased is gone, the past cannot be recalled, everything will go with the wind.
The funeral was very solemn, and the empress dowager and the emperor were quite concerned, and specially sent the eldest prince to mourn.
Only, Du Shuai did not show up from the beginning to the end, nor did he show up for the funeral, everyone was worried, and they all said that Du Shuai and his wife were deeply in love. How could he bear this sudden death?
This pile of poisoning and the loss of his wife, Du Shuai is too miserable.
Everyone has sympathy, pity, schadenfreude, and joy.
The Du family closed the door to thank guests after the funeral, quit the social circle, concentrated on mourning, and fell silent all of a sudden.
When Du Shaoxuan's sister and brother arrived in the capital, everything was dealt with. After crying bitterly in front of the tomb, Du Shaoxuan stayed beside her for a hundred days.
Du Shaoxuan only sent a dozen boxes of gifts to the county master's mansion, but did not come to the door. It is not easy for people to run around in funerals, and many people are taboo.
Mu Wanqing took a look and saw that in addition to the various gifts he gave, there were also New Year gifts from his parents, brother and sister-in-law.
She pulled out a few large pieces of wool, drew the pattern herself, and had them make new clothes.
At the meeting, civil and military officials reported the results of the year's work.
Mu Wanqing was no exception and followed suit, but she read it with a list, a long list, all the fruits of her labor this year.
With the promotion of kapok and potato and corn, people everywhere can have a good year.
This can be compared with other departments, and the officials of the Ministry of Household hold their heads high and are particularly proud.
Zi Fu suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I want to hold a city-wide lantern festival during the Chinese New Year.
Hello."
"The minister agreed that such a grand event should be celebrated well, and let the people feel the royal grace."
"The minister believes that Lord Cifu will take the lead, and the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of Work will co-organize and do this well together."
There are only five departments, and only the account department is kicked out.
The Ministry of Household official was stunned for a moment, his face was a little ugly, and they were excluded, what do you mean?
Is there such a thing?
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "The five departments jointly handle?"
The Minister of Personnel nodded naturally, "Yes, the Ministry of Household is usually too hard, this time let them rest well, we are very considerate, this time we will take responsibility..."
"Haha." A mocking voice sounded, it was Mu Wanqing, she looked at everyone with a half-smile.
They are all old grumps, their faces are not even red, and they want to win the lottery.
Usually the Ministry of Accounts is too high-profile, has too much credit, and is unique in the limelight, and other departments under pressure are bleak, how can this be done? They also have to stand up, show their strength, and make a splash.
The emperor clearly saw their careful thoughts, "Qingping county master, what do you say?"
Mu Wanqing actually doesn't want to work overtime.
However, they were doing this behind her back, and she felt a little unhappy. If she had spoken to the ward in advance, she might have given some good suggestions.
Others work overtime, she goes shopping and eating, how wonderful.
She bowed her hands, "It's all up to the emperor, I listen to the emperor."
The emperor likes to hear such words. If everyone is like Mu Wanqing, he is too worried.
"You hand over the charter, let's talk about it first, how much does this city-wide lantern fair cost? How much can you earn back?"
He has tasted the pain of not having money, the enemy army is overwhelmed, but the court can't pay the military expenses, he still remembers it fresh.
He usually maintains a simple living habit, and he has reduced the dishes when he eats, so how can he let others waste the money of the treasury?
Everyone looked at each other, never expecting to get stuck at this level.
Mu Wanqing knew their virtues, "You don't just want to spend the money from the treasury, use the money from the treasury to add money to your face, and make political achievements, right? No? No? Bar?"
The money in the treasury is all hard earned by her and her subordinates, and no one wants to squander it, hum.
"By the way, if you don't use the money from the national treasury and donate money all by yourself, I have no opinion."
If you want to use the money from the treasury, the Minister of the Household has to nod and sign.
Everyone is not good, but the emperor's eyes lit up, this is a good idea.
In the past, there was no 500,000 taels of silver on the account, but now I have a big tone.
"As for making money, this... should be able to recover 200,000 taels."
He is not sure, how about asking the merchant to pay?
Mu Wanqing hates extravagance, she can understand if you invest.
However, you just want to spend money to gain a good reputation, why should the Ministry of Household pay for this money?
"Only 200,000? So little? This is a loss-making business. You prodigal sons, you really don't pay for yourself?"
Mu Wanqing rudely replied, "It's you who are comparing with us, spending a lot of material and manpower to earn only 200,000 yuan, hahaha."
The ministers of the Ministry of Personnel have discussed it, and naturally Mu Wanqing will not be disturbed by this matter.
Thriving and meaning extraordinary."
Mu Wanqing nodded with a smile, "Well, it is very meaningful, but it does not hinder making money. Our Ministry of Household has always been to improve people's livelihood, seek welfare for the people, supplemented by filling the national treasury, in one fell swoop You can count, isn't it a basic operation to maximize profits? Oh, don't you? Or are you deliberately wasting money?"
This exaggerated tone is really underwhelming.
The right servant of the Ministry of Housing said coolly, "If we don't care about the people's livelihood and only care about filling the national treasury, it will not be a problem to earn 50 to 60 million yuan a year, hey, in the end, we are still not capable enough to earn Too few. Qingping County Master, or else, the welfare for other departments will be cancelled next year, and the book will look better."
Why don't they make good money? There is no such thing.
Mu Wanqing clapped her hands lazily, "This can be considered."
The left servant of the Ministry of Housing said, "Your Majesty, all the officials of the Ministry of Household have written a letter to cancel the welfare, anyway, adults in other departments can make money."
Eating their food and drinking their food is not enough, and they think they don't give much benefits. This is shameless.
"Not bad, not bad." Mu Wanqing stabbed the knife with a smile, "Let them be responsible for themselves. We have a hard time raising unfilial sons."
Everyone's faces turned green, they couldn't help but stare at them, unfilial son? Say who?
The Ministry of Household official glared back bluntly, talking about you.
Secondary couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
Hmph, milk is a mother.
If it is done, everyone will be credited, and it will be able to suppress the household.
Salary."
Everyone:…
The emperor saw that their faces were disheveled, and his words changed, "How about you raise funds yourself? The treasury is poor."
Everyone: ... this emperor is too dog!
