Chapter 142 The First Discussion on the Repair of the Garden (2)

Sushun returned to the mansion, and Long Rulin, Chen Fuen, Huang Xi and others knew that he had returned to Beijing to wish the emperor a leisure time and reported his duties. He just didn't want to leave the duty so late. Is the emperor saying something about himself and delaying the time?

When his sedan chair was carried into the mansion, everyone stood up and greeted him, "Please pay tribute to the Lord."

"Get up, get up." In the eighth year of Xianfeng, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Zongren Mansion to send officers to confiscate all the income from Sushun's past years. The only reward was given to his two concubines and children. The family suddenly fell. Fortunately, Duanhua lived not far away. The couple appreciated his helping skills back then, so they first brought Sushun's two concubines and children to the Zheng Wang Mansion. The others were slowly settled in the past few years, and the old appearance was quietly restored.

When he heard that Ama was back, the twelve-year-old Huishan stepped out of the hall, shouted "Ama", and ran over to pay his respects to him. Sushun's father was very comforted, and said a few words to the child, asking about his recent homework, Huishan answered one by one.

"Have you used supper?"

"Not yet! My son and my mother want to use it together after Ama comes back."

Su Shun frowned and his words to Mingshan in the afternoon made his spirit pour into major events in the next year. He really had no intention of gathering with his family. Chen Fuen, who was on the side, saw it and advised him, "The adults have not reached the home for half a year. The young master and his two wives have been waiting for for a long time. Now they have finally returned to Beijing once. Even if there is something, I will ask the adults to rest for a night before talking?"

"There is no need to rest." Su Shun smiled understandingly, lowered his head and said to Huishan, "Go, tell the kitchen to prepare supper, Ama, you and a few teachers, okay?"

"Yes." Huishan agreed and turned around and ran away. On this side, Sushun took his seat by himself, waved his hand to signal Chen Fuen and others to sit down, and then said, "After entering the city today, I will enter the palace to pay tribute to the emperor..."

Hearing his answer with the emperor and the words he discussed with Mingshan, Huishan came out again, took Ama's hand and pulled it inside, "Ama, my son is hungry! Ama, come quickly!"

Sushun smiled bitterly and pulled her up for her son and walked passively to the second hall. Because there was still serious matters to talk about after the meal and it was not easy to drink, everyone used dinner while thinking about what the adults had just said: The emperor said that the palace project should be his last political matter in Shanxi. In this way, it is probably after the Western Tour, the adults would have to be transferred to the capital for use. This is naturally a great thing. But if the measures in Shanxi are not effective, and when the emperor's Western Tour starts, not to mention transferring to the capital, even the holy family will be in danger of decline. How to do this time is a huge matter!

Chen Fuen thought for a long time and sighed in his heart that he was old and had to be pity for Sushun, so he stayed in the mansion. One day, he would go back to the capital and linger day and night. If he asked for advice, this is certainly affectionate, but it is inconvenient for information and a difficult problem to solve. If he was in Shanxi, he would never let Sushun be so rash! He has reported to the emperor, and he would definitely not want to save it again. On the other hand, this is not a good thing. Since Sushun got into the emperor's eyes, his career has been released early and he has been promoted all the way. If he encounters such a lesson from Yiqi, he may make him more calm?

He only thought in his heart and listened to Huang Xi saying randomly, "Then, the palace is not built, what is the biggest difficulty?"

"I think it's hard to prepare the personnel first; the second is material transportation." Sushun said, "I asked Mingshan, and he also said that if you don't mention it, it's just that this kind of hot work will not end in February. I'll go back to Shanxi long ago. How can I plan for the matter of going back and forth?"

"I think it's better to do this." Chen Fuen said slowly, "The words of the Lord have been said, and the emperor has asked for an order, so he must not take them back. There are two ways now. First, take advantage of the time when the Lord is in the capital to prepare the hot samples early. It is best to present the finest points of the palace and the other different things one by one, and then, catch up with the emperor and submit them to the imperial court and ask for an order to decide the matter."

"The construction period of one year is too late, and I also said that the work is different from other things, and all kinds of excellent things are presented one by one? Isn't that even more too late?" Su Shun said with some dissatisfaction.

Chen Fuen was stunned and said with a smile, "My lord misunderstood what I mean. The palace and pavilion I mentioned refer to the place where Mingshan mentioned was built in the capital. It is not a palace in Shanxi."

Before Su Shun could continue to ask questions, he said again, "The person who tied the bell must be untied. It is too late for Zuojin to make a polite statement and ask the emperor to waive this errand, isn't that enough?"

"Is this... OK?" Su Shun was a little worried, "The emperor rarely opened his mouth..."

"That was before seeing the halls and pavilions in the middle of the capital!" Chen Fuen seemed very confident, "Think about it, in the past ten years since the emperor ascended the throne, many imperial edicts have been issued to inform the ministers to 'repetitive according to this feud' and not to invite the emperor's hearts to 'eliminate and useless' things. It would be fine if he said that he would buy halls and pavilions in the capital. If it was still done in Shanxi, he would not be afraid that the emperor would not be able to avoid the work of the emperor."

"That's not OK! What if the emperor was not sure about the matter in the capital?"

"Enjoy the greatness of Henan and the grandeur of the times!"

Sushun didn't understand this sentence, but Huang Xi and Long Rulin understood it. He explained a few words to Sushun. These are the words in the memorials submitted by Cai Wenchang of the Northern Song Dynasty for Emperor Huizong. The general meaning is that in the prosperous age, those who are the masters must have courage and courage. The wealth of the Tian family is extremely high, and there is no need to worry about the number of silver.

Huizong obeyed Cai Jing's words and ruined the beautiful country accumulated by his ancestors for generations, and finally led to the "Jingkang Incident" and brought shame to eternal eternal shame.

However, only Chen Fuen's words may not make the emperor happy. He also needs to find a way to attract all his attention to the project in Beijing. Another section: How should we arrange the matters in Shanxi?

"Aunts are smart for a lifetime, but confused for a while! Shanxi merchants are always known as wealthy, and all the garden scenery of each family are spread throughout Taiyuan. Isn't it enough to just use a trump card to requisition one of them and make some changes to imitate the Guiyanshan method back then?"

"Yes, Brother Zihe said it very well, it would be best to requisition the Jinjingyuan of Cao Yang family!" Thinking of being able to find an opportunity to present Widow Cao to the emperor by requisitioning Jinjingyuan, and to realize the emperor's wishes over the years, wouldn't it be another filial piety of a minister? Thinking of this, Su Shun nodded frequently, and his expression was excited. The depression he had just come into the mansion had already been wiped out.

The guest and host said a few words, and Long Rulin asked, "If you want to make a hot case, you must also hurry up and wait until the time is ripe - it is best to submit it to the emperor before the Wanshou Festival."

"Please rest assured by Mr. Lu Chen. I have asked Mingshan and Lei Tingchang to make this floor." Su Shun said, "However, in order to make the emperor happy to see the hunt, I think that we cannot just regard the royal scenery as beautiful. We must always visit famous scholars and visit all over the world. The best way to build this garden into another scenery that is not inferior to the Old Summer Palace."

Not inferior to the Old Summer Palace? The few people sitting there smacked their tongues at the same time. How much money does it cost and how long does it take?

Su Shun was immersed in the sky castle he created and did not speak for a long time. "I'm tired, go and write, I'll have to get up early tomorrow!"

***************************************

The next morning, Sushun entered the garden again and first went to the Interior Office to find Mingshan, "What do you say over Lei Jingxiu?"

"Now Lei Tingchang is on duty. I have asked him to wait for you in the court room." Mingshan said with a smile, "He is Lei Jingxiu's posthumous son. In order to fight for the case, a big storm occurred in Beijing last year!"

"Oh? How do you say it?"

It turned out that Lei Jingxiu died in the middle of the sixth year of Xianfeng. He spent a lot of effort. The final quick gun was very inconsistent with the emperor's wishes. Lei Jingxiu was sad and scared, and felt even more embarrassed. He smashed the gold sign of "Style Thunder" for himself. I'm sorry for the ancestors of the Lei family. After the matter was over, he asked his partner Guo Jiu to take charge of the case, and would rather take his own position as his subordinate. He died soon.

When Lei Jingxiu died of illness, Lei Jingxiu's three sons came out to fight for the case again. Of course, it was not easy. This mission was inherited from the Lei family, but it was a fact that Guo Jiu came forward to take charge of it. In the end, public affairs were different from private industries, and the choice was based on their hearts. Therefore, they had to fight on one side, but they were not allowed to join the other side.

The matter was very big for a while. It was said that such a thing was official business or a private matter, and it was not a mistake. Moreover, both parties were officers of the Ministry of Works and were also employed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. No one was willing to accept it. Shuntian Mansion had no choice but to make trouble for this lawsuit. When he was entangled, Guo Jiuyi died of illness, so he naturally "returned the things to the original owner". The third son of the Lei family, named Tingchang, was in charge.

The emperor himself was not very happy about such pleasures. Civil engineering was mostly used by the state, so Lei Tingchang's errands became very leisurely. He was hardworking and took advantage of this few years of work to collect the creation artworks of his ancestors and the "scalding samples" of all sizes - palace models made of hard paper, plus instructions, and compiled into a catalog. Three rooms were needed to accommodate them.

This time, when he heard the summons from the Minister of the Interior, Lei Tingchang didn't know what was going on, so he came early and knelt down and saluted, "Do you know this? Lord Su Shunsu of the Interior; Brother Yuting, this is what I mentioned to you. The case of Style Lei, Lei, brother Lei Tingchang."

Of course, Lei Tingchang, who heard of Sushun's name, but the two had never met each other. And he heard that he had been transferred to Shanxi, why did he still say he was 'Mr. The first time he looked at him, Lei Tingchang hurriedly knelt down and saluted for the second time, "Please pay tribute to the Lord!"

"Get up, get up." Sushun smiled and helped him up, and looked at him with a smile, "I worked with Mr. Lingzun for a long time back then, but he was still alive. When I heard about this in Taiyuan, I sighed three times!"

Lei Tingchang naturally said a few words, said some words on the scene, and then asked Mingshan, "Sir, is there any way to send me a post this time?"

"It's true that there is something to do. You have to rely on your master's talent." Mingshan pulled him aside and whispered a few words. Lei Tingchang was stunned and then chuckled, "Please rest assured. If you say something next to him, Lei dared not boast. Such a hot skill will not fall into the trap of others."

"That's right." Su Shun turned around and smiled, "First, we must make the hot samples and present them to the imperial court. The emperor was satisfied with the view and issued an order to carry out the construction. If you can do it in the future, I guarantee you to change the top dress when you confess your merits."

"Then, I wonder what kind of atmosphere is the first in this palace built?"

"You must always be perfect and be able to lose the unprecedented glory and wealth of the world." Su Shun said, "You are a model house manager and a specialist in decoration. But there should be a pavilion, a building, a pool, a bridge, a science. Can you do it?"

"Okay!" Lei Tingchang answered very crisply, and then said, "Of course, I'll find someone else."

"Okay, I won't say it again," Su Shun said, "How about the picture? Can you get out within half a month? The main hall and the Buddhist pavilion are painted in the way we have calculated the plan, and the other scenery is really a bit of thought."

"For this matter, you have to draw sketches first..."

Before he finished speaking, he interrupted Su Shun, "I can't control the so-called profession, but what can I see from the sketch? Always..." He thought about it and thought, "Take Lei Tingchang to the imperial court to report back." Then he thought, he was now the governor of Shanxi, not the imperial court minister, and even he had to hand over the sign, and was led by the imperial court minister. How could he take someone to the emperor again?

Mingshan guessed his difficulties and said, "You go down and prepare first. When the master greets you, come to the front." After retreating Lei Tingchang, he said to Sushun, "Brother Yuting is worried about the fact that the hot and scenery may not be able to inherit the holy heart?"

"What's your solution?"

"I think this is not difficult. Just make the hot sample and ask the emperor to see if there is any unpleasant thing. Isn't it enough to ask the emperor to point it out on the spot? It's just a little bit of effort on the left and right, so it doesn't cost much?"

"By the way, you said you won't spend much money. If the emperor is sure of this in the future, he will have to spend a lot of money. Are you sure?"

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't," Mingshan laughed, "Someone can cushion."

This 'someone' naturally pointed out that he was Shan himself. Su Shun was surprised and couldn't help being disgusted. "Brother," he said in a sarcastic tone: "How many silver mats do you have?"

"I dare not tell lies in front of the adults. I am the 'hollow old official' said by Suzhou people. However, everyone knows that if the adults support my waist, I feel relieved." Mingshan replied calmly: "First, there are only a few large wooden factories for construction, and all the padding workers are willing to do it; second, the supervisors and purchasing must use some people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who can move and afford to pad them."

The tall hat of "There is an adult to support my waist" covered Sushun. He nodded and said, "It's okay! But, the advance payment cannot be collected for a while, don't complain."

"There are some money. As long as the adults have to follow you, they will reply. Knowing that there is this advance, it will be easy to recover it."

In these few short sentences, there are two questions in Su. The first is where the money is? The second is how can it be easily recovered? Of course, Mingshan has an explanation. Money is in the Ministry of the Ministry.

He told Su Shun that since Yan Jingming served as the Minister of Revenue, he had tried his best to sort out and sort out the surplus every year. Although the detailed amount was not known, it was estimated that there were 30 to 5 million yuan each year. Yan Jingming imitated the example of the Qing Dynasty, and saved up the amount, not easily used it, and specialized in preparing for the emergence of the flood and dry swords and weapons. Therefore, it is also a secret to the outside world, and even the emperor may not know it. Since the "Beijianfang" of the state fund cashier of the General Office made Yan Jingming reorganized Yan Jingming, breaking the situation of full control and appointing the honest and capable Hanque officer to take charge, he had to deliberately conceal the huge amount.

This huge sum of money can be used for the view of the shining good. As long as Yan Jingming, who is in charge of the department, does not obstruct it. In other words, as long as the emperor is told, millions of silver can be used.
