Chapter 751 Catching the Wind
"This is a list of all the gifts. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
In the afternoon, Yu Fu led people to register and tally all the gifts for Yunzheng's wedding.
"Not bad, the work is done very quickly."
Yun Zheng took the pamphlet and did not forget to praise Yu Fu.
"This is a matter for villains."
Yu Fu replied respectfully.
"Okay, I, the king, will take a look first. You can go down first!"
"Resign, villain!"
Yu Fu bowed and retreated.
Yunzheng walked to the courtyard with the booklet and sat down, opening the booklet with full expectation.
He and Ga Yao have made peace between the two countries!
The gifts given by these people must be of a certain quality, right?
This is also a considerable amount of income!
By the way, isn’t the third child short of money?
If you marry someone every once in a while, won’t the money come to you?
Ugh!
A dignified prince can't even make money.
The title of Prince is wasted.
With complaints about Yun Li, Yun Zheng slowly opened the booklet.
It can be seen that Yu Fu is a very good housekeeper.
Not only did he count the number of gifts, but behind each gift was the name of the person who gave the gift, and a rough estimate of the value of the gift.
Yunzheng looked through it slowly and nodded.
Yes, Not Bad.
Everyone is quite sensible.
The value of the gifts sent by officials in the DPRK was basically no less than one hundred taels of silver.
The value of the gifts given by the second and third sons is estimated to be over ten thousand taels of silver.
The estimated value of the gifts given by the princes and high officials in the court was basically more than three to five thousand taels of silver.
It can be seen that these officials in the DPRK are all bleeding.
Only the gifts given by these local officials in Fuzhou were slightly lower in value, but the worst ones were more than two hundred taels of silver.
Less is a bit less, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat!
The salaries and land assets of these local officials are definitely not as good as those of officials in the court.
Moreover, even if their family is extremely wealthy, they would not dare to give away more.
Otherwise, once the origin of their money is traced, someone might go to jail.
At last count, the gifts received at this wedding were worth more than one million taels of silver.
Of course, this is only a rough estimate of the value. How much it is worth will not be known until it is sold.
Well, not bad!
It's a pity that he is not in the imperial city.
Otherwise, he would want to organize a full-moon party or something for his child.
Yunzheng put away the pamphlet happily, and after some silent calculation in his mind, he called Shen Kuan and ordered: "Tell the dozen or so officials sent by the imperial court to the Northwest Protectorate that I and Mrs. Gayao will be here tonight. A banquet was held in the house to entertain them."
"Yes!"
Shen Kuan took the order and left.
……
In the evening, Yunzheng and Gayao held a banquet at the palace.
There were a total of twelve officials sent by the imperial court to the Northwest Protectorate.
Yun Zheng was not very impressed with most of them and could hardly name them.
The only one whose name could be called was Wei Jianshan, who was sent to serve as the Grand Protector of the Northwest Protectorate.
This is the left minister of the Ministry of War, a proper third-rank official, and he seems to be from the Fourth Brother's party.
There are also a few Yunzheng who have some impressions, but they really can't name them.
"As you all know, I rarely interfere with the affairs of the court, so I am not familiar with you. Please introduce yourselves first."
Yun Zheng said to everyone with a smile.
"Wei Jianshan, the left minister of the Ministry of Officers and Soldiers, was favored by the Holy Lord and appointed as the Chief Protector of the Northwest Protectorate."
"I am a servant of Ludian in the Zizheng Hall, and I have been favored by the Holy One. I am appointed..."
"I will give you advice to the officials..."
"..."
Listening to everyone announcing their homes one by one, Yun Zheng called out in his heart what a good guy.
Each and every one of them has a high official rank in the court, and the worst is an official of the fifth rank.
Moreover, these people are not too old, and they all have a lot of room for advancement in the future.
For Yunzheng, this is really a generous gift!
It’s heavier than the gifts he received on his wedding!
This should be considered a real wedding gift, right?
After everyone had finished the introduction, Yun Zheng couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and immediately said: "The princess is about to give birth, and I have to rush back to Dingbei as soon as possible. Today I will treat you all as early as possible."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Everyone stood up and saluted.
They were sent whether they wanted it or not.
Everyone knows what the situation is in the Northwest Protectorate.
The Northwest Protectorate belongs to the imperial court in name, and the chief officials at all levels are also appointed by the imperial court. However, the problem is that Beilu Pass is right there, and neither the imperial army nor the government orders can pass through Beilu Pass to reach the Northwest Protectorate.
How the court arranges them is one thing.
In the end, I'm afraid it still depends on how Yun Zheng arranges them.
Yun Zheng waved his hand gently, "Okay, everyone, please stop being so formal and let's all eat and drink well!"
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Everyone sat down together, secretly wondering in their hearts.
Yun Zheng didn't hit them?
Isn't it really just to catch the wind for them?
With full of doubts, everyone started to use their chopsticks.
Yunzheng didn't say much, he just toasted to everyone frequently, as if he was just trying to catch the wind for them.
Jia Yao looked at Yunzheng suspiciously, and was also secretly confused in his heart.
Yunzheng didn't take the opportunity to hit these people, which was strange to her.
This was not like the Yun Zheng style she knew!
Could it be that Yunzheng wanted to influence these people?
This... seems unrealistic, right?
"What on earth are you thinking about?"
Jiayao put down his wine glass and asked Yunzheng in a low voice.
No one wants to know Yunzheng more than her.
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
She doesn't necessarily have to go to war with Yun Zheng, but if she knows more about Yun Zheng, she might be able to suffer less in many things.
"Jie Feng!"
Yunzheng smiled, "I still have a lot of things to do later, so I may not have time to meet them again."
Catching the wind?
Gaoyao curled his lips.
Even the dogs don’t believe this!
Yun Zheng is not a kind person.
This bastard must have no good intentions!
Seeing that Yunzheng didn't say anything, Jiayao couldn't ask any more questions.
The banquet was going on in a strange atmosphere.
Everyone kept talking about it, and they didn't stop talking in their minds.
Everyone is thinking about what kind of medicine Yunzheng is selling in this gourd.
An hour later, the banquet was basically over.
"Everyone, have you eaten and drank well?"
Yun Zheng looked at everyone with a smile, "If everyone has eaten and drank well, I will announce something."
coming!
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
You know this banquet will definitely not be simple!
Many people even doubted whether this meal was a beheading meal.
After they had eaten and drank enough, Yun Zheng would send them on their way.
Thinking like this, many people became nervous and began to sweat inexplicably.
"Your Highness, please speak, I am all ears."
Wei Jianshan made a submissive gesture, but his heart was beating silently.
He understood that what Yun Zheng said next might affect everyone's fate.
"In the past, Gao Shizhen led a group of scholars to Shuobei to petition. I told them something. Today, I will tell you too!"
Yunzheng stood up slowly with a smile on his face, "Heaven is going to entrust this person with a great responsibility, but he must first work hard..."
