There is Room For the Poor Daughter

In November of the 19th year of Yongxing, a major event occurred in Ningmen Mansion, which caused a sensation in the entire Xia-Jiang family discovered a gold mine in Ningmen Pass.

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

Yan House, the main courtyard.

"Father, what did you say, the Jiang family found a gold mine? Is it true or false?"

Daohua looked at Yan Zhigao with wide eyes, with a look of disbelief.

Didn't she find the gold mine?

Even if the emperor is stingy and reluctant to award her a reward, the credit should go to Xiao Yeyang, no matter how bad it is, it should be the Wu Ye, why has it become the Jiang family now?

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

Daohua sat back upright again, but her brows were twisted into a pimple and her face was tight.

Because of Wu Ye, Wu Ye and others, and because of Xiao Yeyang, she thought her credit for finding the gold mine was a sure thing, and no one could take it away.

"Father, is this news reliable, who did you listen to?"

Yan Zhigao glanced at the eldest daughter with a gloomy brow: "The emperor personally praised Jiang Shizi in the court, how can this be fake? The gold mine is located at Ningmenguan, and now it is under the control of the army."

"Actually, it's good for the Jiang family to find the gold mine. After all, the benefits involved in the gold mine are too great, and most people really can't bear the credit."

Not to mention anything else, it is a bit unusual to say that Duan Wang's people also appeared in the Ningmen Mansion.

Royal affairs have always been complicated, and it is best for them, local officials who have no roots, to be less involved.

Mrs. Li sat aside, seeing that the tea in Yan Zhigao's tea cup had bottomed out, she refilled him a cup, and then said slightly worried:

"There has always been gold, silver, and copper mines, all of which are managed by the emperor's henchmen. Now that gold mines appear in the realm governed by the master, will the master be transferred to other places?"

Yan Zhigao also fell silent: "It depends on the emperor's intentions, but Ningmen Pass has always been a major military area, even if the emperor wants to send someone over, he should just take over there and take care of the rest of Ningmen Mansion. The place will not have any impact, and I will most likely continue to serve here."

Mrs. Li looked slightly relaxed: "I hope so."

Their family managed to gain a firm foothold in the Ningmen Mansion, and the master managed to straighten out the political affairs. If he was transferred, the master's efforts from early and dark this year would be in vain.

Also, moving is a hassle.

Daohua didn't listen to what Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li were talking about, and sat to the side with her head sullen, thinking that her position as county head was lost.

The capital, the palace.

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

"Snapped!"

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 was lowered. The Queen Mother personally came to the emperor to seek rewards for the Jiang family's discovery of the gold mine. How could the emperor not be angry?

You must know that the news of the gold mine was disclosed to the Jiang family by the emperor, and, at the beginning, 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 the dark guard back, saying that there is a secret letter to hand in in person."

The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart: "Come in."

Soon, the dusty dark guard walked in. At first glance, he knew that he had not rested for several days. After kneeling and bowing, he carefully took out the letter in his arms.

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

The emperor took the letter in a naive manner: "I just got through the letter not long ago. What is Yang'er writing to do at this time?"

After opening the letter and reading it for a while, the emperor stood up with a 'bass'. He could not hide his excitement at this moment. He held the letter and read it several times before laughing happily.

Eunuch An and Wei Qi looked at each other, and they were a little surprised. The emperor hadn't been so happy for a long time.

The emperor glanced at the map of the gold mine again, and walked back and forth in the hall for a while. After he calmed down, he waved his hand and signaled that all the people in the hall should step down, leaving only Eunuch An and Wei Qi.

After the people left, the emperor sat back on the dragon chair again: "Yang'er wrote to say that they have found another gold mine."

As soon as these words came out, Eunuch An and Wei Qi's eyes widened at the same time, and they froze for a while before congratulating in unison.

The emperor tapped the table with his fingers: "At present, only Yang'er and the three brothers and sisters of the Yan family know about this gold mine. Wei Qi, please clean up and leave for Zhongzhou today. You are responsible for mining that gold mine yourself." His eyes narrowed, "Remember, don't let the news leak out."

The gold mine that was found before was promoted by the Jiang family. Now you know what you should know and what you shouldn't know. Now the officials of the court are watching, and there are not many that can be misappropriated.

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

Wei Qi said solemnly, "Being in a humble position."

The emperor read the letter again, and suddenly fell silent.

The two gold mines were found by the girl of the Yan family. In addition to the relationship with her mother and uncle, it would be hard to live without the reward, but the timing of the reward at this moment is not suitable.

After thinking for a while, the emperor looked at Eunuch An and said, "Did Dong Jiancheng, the governor of Zhongzhou, put up an excerpt not long ago about the taxation and political achievements of the various prefectures in Zhongzhou?"

Eunuch An immediately knew what the emperor was going to ask, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it focuses on the achievements of Lord Yan, the prefect of Ningmen House, and said that his achievements in governing Ningmen House are remarkable."

The emperor smiled and said: "Yan Zhigao is a good minister. The high-yield wheat varieties have been extended to other provinces, and the tax revenue has increased by a certain amount. He is a capable minister."

Small can not be rewarded, then reward the big.

In the early morning of the next day, some officials sang the praises of the Jiang family's achievements in finding gold mines, and asked the emperor to reward the Jiang family.

Seeing this, the officials who had been thinking about transferring to Ningmen Mansion all stopped.

At this time, the emperor praised Yan Zhigao and made it clear that he wanted Yan Zhigao to continue to serve as the prefect of Ningmen House.

That afternoon, the two imperial decrees left the capital at the same time and went straight to Ningmen Mansion.

A few days later, Ningmen Mansion, Yan Family.

The Yan family knelt down and worshipped in the lobby, respectfully listening to the eunuch reading the imperial decree.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor made it: Yan Zhi, the prefect of Ningmen House, was high on the political period. He was careful and disciplined, taught loyalty and encouragement, and respected his sincerity. His mother, Mrs. Zhang, preached the words in the morning and evening. Qing Ze was in Menlu; his wife Li Shi, Shu Shen Qi Yi, and Rou Jia Wei Ze. I hereby regard Qin En Feng Er as the four-grade 'Kongren'."

Daohua knelt on the ground and didn't understand the complicated and complicated rhetoric in the middle, but she understood the last two sentences.

The grandmother and mother were named Mrs.

Daohua raised her head and quickly glanced at Daddy Cheap. Seeing that there was an obvious surprise on his face, she suddenly thought about it in her heart.

At this time, the emperor awarded grandmother and mother a prize. Could it be because of the gold mine?

After the eunuch read the imperial decree, he smiled and looked at Yan Zhigao: "Master Yan, accept the decree and thank you."

Yan Zhi raised his hands aloft, with a respectful look on his face: "I thank you Lord Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Seeing that it was over, Daohua was indescribably disappointed.

Her county chief is really gone!

Daohua got up with everyone, and saw that her grandmother and mother happily took over the official service, her disappointment lightened a little, but the emperor didn't take her credit to the end, and in the end gave their family a little reward.
