The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 37 Fengya (five more)
"Bing Jing in this official circle is very particular about the gift stickers you hand over when you get through the door. You don't have to write it too straightforwardly, and people will get it wrong if you write it too vaguely." Shen Zhou Heng looked at the two of them unpleasantly and said, "So people have their own set of rules about Bingjing. Like the Bingjing, Carbonjing, and Jiejing that we ordinary old people know, they only belong to the entry level. The 'rules' of the highest level. What's more, this is already a way to increase the reasonable salary of officials by the emperor's approval."

"What did you say? These are reasonable salaries." Chen shi looked at him incredulously and said.

"That's right, this is what the emperor knew and allowed." Shen Zhou said, looking at her with his eyes shining like jade,
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen's eyes almost fell out of the window, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "Aiya! Why didn't you say it earlier, Heng'er! Mother can take it hard, and I won't live such a hard life anymore. "It's quite a feeling of turning over and calling the shots.

Qi Yaoyao looked at the excited Chen Shi and snickered, thinking too much.

"Mother, mother, wait, have you misunderstood something?" Shen Zhou looked at her with burning eyes and said.

"What?" Chen shi looked at him in confusion and said, "Isn't that what you said? What's wrong?"

"You're excited to hear what I have to say." Shen Zhouheng looked at her with sharp and deep eyes and said amusingly.

"You say, you say." Chen said embarrassedly, "I won't interrupt."

"The emperor's favor is to prevent officials from corruption, but it is only used by some corrupt officials to take advantage of them." Shen Zhouheng looked at them with dark and deep eyes and said.

"A monk with a crooked mouth can't read the scriptures." Qi Yaoyao snorted coldly, her eyes glittering in the mist, "Once this person is greedy, this greed can't be stopped."

"Yeah! It's not easy to accept yellow and white things clearly, how vulgar! It tarnishes their elegance. If they are discovered, it will be bad." Shen Zhou's dark and stern eyes looked at them again. Arrived, "Silver is accepted, this reputation cannot be denied, so there are secret words about Bingjing and Tanjing, which spread in the officialdom. It's very elegant!"

"What's the matter?" Chen shi asked curiously.

"These five sons enrolling in the imperial examination are equivalent to five taels of silver." Shen Zhouheng looked at them with dark and deep eyes and said, "The strong official is 40 taels, which is taken from the "Book of Rites" forty strong officials. Dayan is 50 taels, Take the number fifty from "Zhouyi" Dayan. Ershun..."

"We know this, sixty taels is good." Chen slammed his lips and said, "Sixty taels."

"En!" Shen Zhouheng nodded when he heard the words, and said with a soft snort, "Is this nothing? There are more elegant ones. The eight rhymes of plum blossom poems are more elegant, right! Actually, it implies that there are 80 taels of silver notes in the envelope. Forty sages, of course, is not a list of forty sages, but refers to 40 taels of silver."

"It's too little, some officials don't like it." Qi Yaoyao said angrily, her dark eyes were like thick ink that couldn't be melted.

Shen Zhouheng was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at them with amber eyes and said, "There are more advanced ones, one axis, two axes, and three axes of the Baishou map, which are 100 taels of silver, 200 taels, and 300 taels of silver. Shuangbai One picture is 200 taels. One Qinguan is 120 taels. The allusion comes from: Hangu Pass is 120 feet high."

Qi Yaoyao lowered her eyes to cover her shocked eyes, yet she could still 'interpret' like this.

"One of Mao's poems is equivalent to 300 taels. There are 800 poems in Mao Annotated "Book of Songs". When Mengjin is crossed, it is 1000 taels. It refers to: eight hundred princes crossed Mengjin to defeat Zhou." Shen Zhouheng Looking at them with dark and bottomless eyes, he said, "As for the Thousand Buddhas' Classics, it's even more extraordinary. It's a big deal of [-] taels."

"They don't even let the Buddhist scriptures go." Chen shi looked at him in astonishment and said.

"Uh... yes." Shen Zhou scratched his forehead.

"It's not where they got so much money." Chen shi was puzzled and said, "We have to break a penny into two halves and spend it in half. You barely make ends meet with your salary. Where did you get so much money?"

"Mother, don't you understand? People's fat, people's cream, fish and meat people." Shen Zhouheng looked at her with deep eyes and said, "Silver will not fall from the sky." He looked at them seriously and said, "What about this silver? Don't Look at you and me on weekdays, crows are as black as pigs, but something really happened, it’s a solid proof.”

"We don't have any money to send or receive, so it's fine to just stay in this backcountry." Chen shi looked at him lovingly and said.

Hearing this, Shen Zhouheng's amber eyes looked at her with a naive smile and said, "This depends on the mountains to eat the mountains. When the spring ploughing is over, I will go down and walk around, and I promise not to let my mother and my wife drink porridge every day."

Qi Yaoyao slandered in her heart: Corrupt officials in ancient times exhausted their brains for a greedy word, otherwise the emperors would not hate it so much. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang even stipulated that embezzling more than 60 taels of silver People, beheaded immediately!But still can't stop the past and the future!
Qi Yaoyao raised her head abruptly and looked at him with sparkling eyes, and asked calmly, "I rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, are there many mountains here?"

"Many! I checked the local logs here, and more than [-]% of them are mountains. It is really difficult to level them into fertile fields. Otherwise, this place wouldn't be so poor." Shen Zhou sighed lightly and looked at her with clear eyes and said, " If you want to live in the soil, what will you do if you don’t have soil?”

"Your writing is good. You can rely on your own skills to write epitaphs, couplets, inscriptions, write letters, and collect some writing fees." Qi Yaoyao's dark and deep Shuangmoyu looked at him with a charming luster. said.

Shen Zhou's throat moved slightly, swallowed, avoiding her sight, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Qi Yaoyao didn't see his response for a long time, "Why do you think Master Guan can't do it."

"My son is not the kind of person you said, and it's not like he has never written a letter." Chen Shi immediately defended, looking at Qi Yaoyao with an unpleasant expression, "Qi Shi!"

Shen Zhouheng hurriedly said, "That... it's not that I don't write it. If the county magistrate writes it, they give too much, and they will take bribes in disguise. My words are not worth a thousand dollars, and they are not that big. fame. This is obviously wrong, and if you still have to take it, it will be a disaster sooner or later."

"They gave it voluntarily!" Chen shi immediately turned to Shen Zhouheng.

"Mother, in the lobby, people won't say that. They must say that I forced them to give it, or even forced me to buy and sell." Shen Zhou looked at her with his dark eyes and said.

"How can this happen?" Chen shi said with a flat mouth dissatisfied.
