My wife is number one in the world

First Section 795

The position of the third rank of Qingzheng in Honglu Temple has to be highly valued by Young Master Liu. Who would let him climb higher than himself even though he is young?

Not to mention the position of Minister of the Household Department, he still has the hereditary title of Marquis with the same rank as the second rank. His son can only take the imperial examination if he wants to enter the imperial court.

Elder Young Master Liu is different, his son has carried the title of earl since birth, it will be even more extraordinary if Young Master Liu gets the gift of hereditary succession.

Just like Guannei Hou Zhu Run, he was born as the Lord of the Marquis, and as long as he doesn't live up to his expectations, as long as he doesn't ruin the foundation of his ancestors, there is no problem in eating and drinking and waiting to die.

This is also the original intention of many people who worked so hard to get the title.

The descendants of Fu Meng will have more incense sticks than others in their ancestral hall even after a hundred years.

That's the one who opened the door.

"Wai Li, Mr. Wang, what are you busy with? You are as angry as if you have eaten charcoal fire!"

Wang Hezheng let out a long sigh: "Master Liu, come in and talk!"

"Alright!"

"Master Liu, drink tea!"

"Thank you!"

Wang Hezheng was holding a stack of thick papers and sat down at the head of Liu Mingzhi: "I don't know what happened to the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Except for the caravan, they have not been in contact for many years. In the past two days, they suddenly sent envoys to pay homage to His Majesty. Open the Silk Road!"

"This is a good thing. After the opening of the Silk Road, the court will have to pay another tax. The Ministry of Households will earn a lot of money. I'm afraid, Mr. Wang, you, the minister of the Honghe Temple, will have a lot of money!"

Liu Mingzhi happily patted his stomach, and looked narrowly at Wang Hezheng, the meaning was self-evident, no one should think anyone is clean if they are all officials.

Without a little extra income, the court's salary alone could not support a family.

Except for Xia Gongming, of course, if there are family members who are willing to accompany the boss to live a hard life, there is nothing you can do about it.

"Hey...... what's so good, Mr. Liu, you only know one thing and don't know the other. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Western Regions have long been separated from the control of my Han family, and the Western Regions Protectorate has long existed in name only. Now! The countries in the Western Regions are not as obedient as they were in the Han and Wu period, this is a document for the envoys of the countries in the Western Regions, Master Liu, please take a look for yourself!"

Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment: "Master Wang, this is inappropriate!"

"Master Liu, you have also temporarily acted as the administrator of Honglu Temple. There is nothing inappropriate. Besides, these documents will be in the hands of civil and military officials sooner or later, and they are not secret documents that need to be sealed. No hindrance!"

"Then the official will not be polite!"

Liu Mingzhi picked up the documents sent by the countries in the Western Regions and read them carefully, frowning from time to time.

After a few cups of tea, Liu Mingzhi closed the envoy's document and put down the document with a cloudy expression on his face: "What a big tone, you actually want to be called a brother country with Dalong! Guo Sancheng, didn't this motherfucker just come to grab food from the bowl of the official household department?"

Wang He smiled wryly and nodded, selectively ignoring First Young Master Liu's obscenity: "Who says it's not! How could such a rude request to the lower officials not be full of anger!"

Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while: "It seems that Suzhou and Ganzhou are going to increase their troops. The 36 countries in the Western Regions have never thought about peaceful trade. If Ganzhou and Suzhou don't increase their troops, they will not only have to guard against the royal courts in the western Turks and It is difficult to face the pressure of the 36 countries in the Western Regions!"

"Does Master Liu have any good opinions? Your majesty is out of his mind. If such a document is submitted to His Majesty's dragon case, His Majesty will definitely be furious!"

"Master Wang!"

"The subordinate is here!"

"Let's postpone this matter for a few days! I'm here to deal with the matter of Prince Jin Wanyan Chizha!"

Wang Hezheng put the document back in the distance, and looked at Liu Mingzhi suspiciously: "It's very embarrassing to dismiss Wanyan Chizha, Jin Guo is only willing to pay 20 taels of silver to redeem it, which is not in line with the status of a prince at all. So keep pressing down!"

Liu Mingzhi's body froze, and he looked at Wang Hezheng in amazement and began to think.

The queen said that Wang Hezheng's Honglu Temple wanted 300 million taels of silver, and Wang Hezheng said that the queen was only willing to pay 20 taels of silver. Which of the two is true and which is false?

There is no need for the queen to lie to herself, after all, she can't stand the verification when she comes to Dalong in person, and she will be exposed by herself immediately.

There was no need for Wang Hezheng to lie to himself. The documents between the two parties would be submitted to the emperor's dragon case sooner or later, and would be made public sooner or later.

"Lord Liu, is there something wrong with what the officer said?"

Liu Mingzhi stood up and paced the room with his hands behind his back.

Although Wang Hezheng was puzzled, he never stopped him. Wanyan Chizha was captured by Young Master Liu when he suppressed the bandits in the south of the Yangtze River. He is qualified to intervene in this matter. After all, when the time comes to hand over the documents, Young Master Liu must sign his signature. It's over!

Liu Mingzhi's eyes showed a trace of thought, could it be that someone made a hindrance and didn't want Jin Guo and Dalong to get along peacefully?

So there is no other choice but Turkic.

There is a difference of 300 million taels between 20 million taels of silver and 280 taels of silver.

"Master Wang, did Honglu Temple hand over the document to Jin Guo for 300 million taels of silver to redeem Wanyan Chizha?"

"Three million taels? Lord Liu is not a fool when he is dismissed from office. How could he hand over such a document? The first handover document for an official is only 300 taels. Even if Jin Guo still pays the price of 50 taels, he will be satisfied." Yes, but after several discussions, Jin Guo is only willing to pay a price of 30 taels of silver, which is not in line with the status of a prince at all. The lower official is still negotiating with the envoy of the Jin Kingdom. The 20 million taels of the lower official is not fooled by lard. How dare you open your mouth like a lion!"

"Can the document be handed over to the official for review?"

"Of course, Mr. Liu, wait a moment, the next official will fetch it!"

PS: I have to be busy for three or four days. After eating and saving manuscripts these days, today is still a big chapter. My heart aches!

Chapter 8 Killing the Resolute Queen

Liu Mingzhi took over the handover document and began to read it carefully.

Although I am not familiar with the handwriting on it, it is indeed stamped with the seals of the Kingdom of Jin and the seal of Honglu Temple.

The document from Honglu Temple required 50 taels of silver, while the documents from the Kingdom of Jin did state a price of 20 taels of silver.

Since then, Liu Mingzhi has been puzzled. Is it the empress who is lying or Wang He is lying? Do they have to lie to themselves about things that are clear after investigation?

Returning the document to Wang Hezheng Liu Mingzhi looked at Wang Hezheng quietly: "My lord, Jin Kingdom has now sent an envoy to Dalong's Honglu Temple. Do you two dare to confront each other on the spot?"

Wang Hezheng nodded without fear: "This official has never done anything wrong, so of course he is not afraid to confront Jin Guolai!"

"Okay, sit down for a while, I'm going to invite the Jin Kingdom's envoy in!"

"Your Majesty is waiting for the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin to arrive!"

Liu Mingzhi walked out of the door with his hands behind his back. The empress was standing in the corridor outside the door, admiring the scenery in Honglu Temple.

It seemed that she heard Liu Mingzhi's footsteps. The queen turned her head slightly and looked at First Young Master Liu: "Brother Liu, how is it? Can Honglu Temple in your country release King Zhennan of Dajin?"

Liu Mingzhi thought about it for a while, and told the empress the content of his conversation with Wang Hezheng.

Liu Mingzhi was also curious about how the price difference of 280 million taels came from!Wang Hezheng's expression did not evade at all, and he even agreed to confront him in court. Liu Mingzhi can only see how the empress will defend herself!

Sure enough, after Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, the empress looked a little suspicious, and looked at First Young Master Liu suspiciously: "Brother Liu, you won't deceive Wan for the sake of Dalong's face, will you?"
