There are several rows of bookshelves in the room, which are full of thick documents and booklets, and there is almost only one table left. It is crowded and narrow, but it is not suffocating.

Probably because there are many booklets but they are arranged neatly and neatly, because there are blooming spring flowers on the window sill.

Or because the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the only table are all famous products, and Ning Yunzhao, who is sitting in front of the table, has a slender hand holding a pen to copy the document, and his movements are smooth and smooth, which is pleasing to the eye.

It's just that the colleagues at this time are still frowning.

"This is a serious matter," he said. "Arrears of salary, this has never happened before."

Ning Yunzhao stretched out his hand and waved it.

"You can't say that." He said, "The previous five years of Yingshun, Emperor Ai ordered the court officials to stop paying three months' salary because of lack of money and troubles."

The colleague was taken aback, waved his hands and booed at him, and looked out again.

"My little official Ning, don't talk nonsense, you can't make random comparisons." He hastily whispered.

Comparing the current emperor with the emperor who destroyed the country in the previous dynasty, if this is spread, the censor can eat him.

"Compare to what? I don't compare." Ning Yunzhao said with a smile, "I mean you can't say that, Your Majesty has not defaulted on salary."

The colleague was stunned.

"I just told the meeting..." He pointed outside.

"That doesn't mean you're in arrears." Ning Yunzhao said after plastic surgery, "It's obviously a voluntary contribution of one month's salary, which is different from deduction."

What a difference! The colleague was startled and then laughed, but it was just a nice way of saying it.

Who volunteered.

"I voluntarily." Ning Yunzhao said seriously, "It is precisely because Cheng Guogong and other generals fought bravely in the north that the Jinren had to sue for peace, and it is only natural for the court to reward Cheng Guogong and others , and the imperial treasury can’t afford that much money for a while, we eat the king’s salary to share the worries of the king, so what’s the big deal to donate a month’s salary, how much is a month’s salary?”

A month's salary is indeed not much, the colleague thought about it, but then cheered up and stared at Ning Yunzhao.

"You are really different from your uncle. You don't have any opinions on the major affairs of the court?" He said with a stare, "But you agree with everything His Majesty says?"

"Because it's really good." Ning Yunzhao said, "I think it's a good thing. This allows the soldiers to get the honor they deserve, and it also allows us to express our respect to the soldiers. I think one month is too little , I am willing to donate for two months."

The colleague snorted.

"Ning Chang, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid." He stared and said, "Is this a matter of more money?"

"It should be." Ning Yunzhao said.

"What is it that you are not a fool." The colleague said angrily, "Who cares about this month's money, this matter can't be done like this! Why do we have to pay for him to celebrate his success as a country?"

"Let's share the fun together." Ning Yunzhao said.

"That's right, he has merit, and he has merit, so we don't have merit?" The colleague Su Rong said, pointing to the north, "He has merit in guarding the border in the north, and we are useless if we work hard here?"

"How come, everyone has merit. He guards the frontier to keep our court affairs stable, and our court affairs are stable so that they can safely guard the border." Ning Yunzhao said, "That's why we share."

"Share what? We shouldn't deduct our salary to reward them for sharing." The colleague clapped a few cases and said, "Sharing, we should also reward them!"

Ning Yunzhao stretched out his hand to support the swaying tall document, with an unhurried expression.

"Reward them with our money. We also have a share of the merits of the Northland, and we also have our share of the military merits. Isn't this also a reward for us." He said.

The colleague stared at him for a moment, seemingly speechless.

"I hope everyone can think like you." He hummed, standing up and brushing his sleeves.

Seeing his colleague go out, Ning Yunzhao smiled and didn't hold back anymore, the room was quiet again, but the noise outside was even louder, it seemed that people from the whole official office street had come out.

Ning Yunzhao picked up the pen in his hand.

"Although not everyone thinks like me, but there are as many as possible." He said, "Otherwise, Cheng Guogong will be really troublesome this time."

……………………………………………

"How poisonous his heart is!"

In Ning Yan's study, Ning Shishi patted the table and said bitterly.

"He used such a method."

Ning Yan and Ning Yunzhao sat facing each other and looked at the chessboard, they didn't seem to hear him speak.

Ning Shixi didn't stop talking.

"First, they randomly collected money from merchants in the city, and if they didn't pay, they would be expelled. The merchants in the city complained and almost went on strike," he said.

"It's not that powerful." Ning Yunzhao said, while making a fuss, "I asked, not all the merchants were apportioned, but some small vendors who pushed carts and baskets in tea sheds and peddled along the street. The bazaar was not affected. Merchants are safe and sound."

The exaggerated statement was exposed, and Ning Shishi was a little ashamed.

"Brother Ten, this is not a matter involving the size of traders, it is wrong." He said.

Ning Yan squeezed the hand of the chess piece for a while.

"Is this also meant to raise rewards for Cheng Guogong?" He looked at Ning Yunzhao and asked.

Ning Yunzhao shook his head.

"Nothing," he said, "nothing to the traders."

Ning Yan smiled coldly and dropped his hand.

"That's why I only told the officials," he said, "It's clear that the treasury has no money, and everyone is required to pay."

Ning Yunzhao raised his hands and dropped them.

"Not much, just one month's salary." He said.

"Brother Ten." Ning Shixi couldn't help but said anxiously, and moved forward, "It's not a matter of more money and less money..."

Ning Yunzhao turned to look at him.

"But now I can only insist that it is a matter of more money and less money." He interrupted him, and said in a calm voice, "I insist that this is a small matter, otherwise I will be poisoned."

Ning Shishi stared at him in a daze, while Ning Yan looked down at the chessboard with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, is that so agreed?" he said.

Ning Yunzhao continued to play.

"Why doesn't your Majesty agree?" He said, "Your Majesty wants to reward Cheng Guogong. It's not easy to be grateful for Cheng Guogong. His request and the requests of all the officers and soldiers will not be rejected. I heard that the Ministry of Officials said that they can't afford money." Come on, Your Majesty will shed tears at the court, and will spend it in the harem."

The emperor had already donated money, so the Ministry of Officials proposed to let officials donate money.

This was not persecuted by the emperor, but the idea of ​​the officials. The emperor was not wrong at all, and it was the fault of the officials.

So what did the emperor disagree with.

Ning Shishi was silent, the chess piece in Ning Yan's hand hadn't dropped for a long time, and the study was suddenly quiet.

But at this moment in Huang Cheng's study, bursts of laughter erupted.

There were quite a few people sitting in groups in the study room, and it was very lively having tea, wine, chatting and laughing.

"Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is a benevolent king." A man was holding a teacup and said to several people, "If you make mistakes, it is the fault of your officials. What kind of idea did you come up with! Donations, thank you for thinking of it." .”

"That's right, we work as errands for nothing, is it just for the few taels of salary every month?" Another man followed suit loudly.

As soon as the voice fell, the lively study room froze for a moment.

Everyone looked at this man.

The man also came back to his senses.

"No, no, I mean we have neither white nor black as errands, not just for the few taels of salary every month." He said hastily, and then pointed at the man opposite with righteous indignation, "It's really a shame for you officials to do this. Killed us."

Hey, that's right.

The study room became lively again.

"It's not a matter of money." Someone said, "If you can do this once, there will definitely be another time. Bad things start, but they can't stop."

Everyone agreed one after another, pointing at a few men, looking extremely angry.

The few men who were coldly confronted by Hengmei smiled.

"We can't do anything about it." One of the men said, spreading his hands helplessly, "It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, and she can't afford money, and she can't appease the soldiers. You can't blame us either."

As if waiting for his words, everyone present raised their glasses immediately.

"Who is to blame?" they said in unison.

The man also raised his teacup.

"Of course, Duke Cheng." He said loudly.

There was an uproar in the study.

"Why?" they cried again in unison.

The man raised his glass again.

"Because he is aggressive, and because he will be followed by all officials," he said loudly.

The study room was even more lively.

"Who is to blame?"

"Mr. Cheng."

"Who is aggressive?"

"Mr. Cheng."

"Who is claiming credit?"

"Mr. Cheng."

The sound of shouting, laughing and drinking was chaotic and uniform, making the atmosphere of the study room strangely lively.

Amid all the bustle, Huang Cheng, who was sitting at the top, hunched slightly, raised his wine glass, and slowly fell to the ground.

"Cheng Guogong." There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "Please."
