On the fifth day of the fourth month of the eighth year of Yuanfeng (the fifth day of the lunar month), an edict was issued to Shangshu Youpushe, and Han Jiang, the minister of Zhongshu, to preside over the review of service laws, rectify gains and losses, and recount the past.

So Han Jiang asked for the establishment of a Service Law Review Office, which would be responsible for reviewing the service laws and making corrections.

The two palaces issued an edict and ordered the three provinces to supervise the operation.

Han Jiang handed over this matter to Zhang Hong, the minister of Zhongshu.

It’s already April (the sixth day of the lunar month).

The imperial edict was issued to install the new king on the throne and to grant favors to the clan. In particular, twenty-three people who had been punished by the clan were transferred to official positions.

Geng Wu (seventh day of the lunar month).

The imperial edict was issued to protect horses in the east and west of Beijing. Official horses that have been paid to the people can be recovered by the department and transferred to the command of Lu Huiqing in Hedong. If the people are willing to raise them, they can be allowed to do as they please for the official price of twenty-seven thousand.

It was sold because Emperor Daxing had paid the people ten thousand to raise the horse, so if the people wanted to raise it, they had to pay thirty-seven thousand.

When the edict was issued, there was great joy in the east and west of Beijing.

Almost no one is willing to hand over their official horses.

The vast majority of people have chosen to pay money to buy a horse!

It’s really a good deal for a horse at this price!

From now on, whether the horse at home is used for pulling, riding or even plowing, the price-performance ratio will be unparalleled.

This is also the biggest advantage these people can take advantage of.

There is a high probability that it will not happen again in the future.

The reason is very simple. They are able to get such preferential policies now simply because the two palaces feel guilty and Zhao Xu has made suggestions, so they are compensated.

In a few years, the two palaces will become hard-hearted.

What kind of guilt? Even if there is any, it only happens in a moment.

On the eighth day of the Xin Dynasty (the eighth day of the lunar month), the two palaces formally issued an edict to abolish the Bianhe River Embankment Department. The stacking yards, field services, and warehouses belonging to the Embankment Department were all purchased according to the old ancestral system and sold to the people for a period of three years.

Then make a purchase later.

Before the edict was issued, the Gao family and the Xiang family had already obtained the stacking yard donated by the emperor for the two concubines.

They are all located on the north bank of the Bianhe River in Bianjing City, the best location and the largest stacking yard.

Gao Jiahe ran over to Xiang's family and took a look, and his heart was beating fast.

Especially seeing the stacking yard full of goods and the ships that never stop coming and going.

They knew that 50,000 yuan a year was definitely low!

So, on this afternoon, the Gao family and the Xiang family sent Gao Gongji and Xiang Zong back to the palace to express their gratitude.

Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui first went to Baoci Palace to express their gratitude.

Naturally, he said a lot of good things, and by the way, he also praised Zhao Xu to heaven.

Gao Gongji even said, "The young master's benevolence and filial piety are rare throughout the ages. With the blessing of my mother-in-law, he will be praised forever."

Xiang Zonghui was also standing by as a wingman, and took the opportunity to praise the Empress Dowager for her great virtues, protecting the young master, assisting the military and the country, and her merits would last forever.

The Queen Mother's ears softened when she heard this, her smile was full of laughter, and she was intoxicated.

After thanking Baoci Palace for their kindness, the two men came to Funing Palace again.

At this time, Zhao Xu was studying under the guidance of the Queen Mother.

Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji could only wait outside the curtain for about a quarter of an hour.

Empress Dowager Xiang and Zhao Xu behind the curtain have just finished their homework for the day.

Xiang Zonghui looked through the curtain at the Queen Mother and the Young Master inside, looking at the intimate appearance of mother and son.

I was very excited inside.

Although he has heard about it many times, this is the first time he has seen such a scene with his own eyes!

"My Xiang family's wealth is guaranteed!" Xiang Zonghui was extremely excited in his heart.

Although the Xiang family has a queen, the queen has no children, which has always been a pain to the Xiang family!

it's good now!

A pure and filial young master fell from the sky!

Observe the etiquette and serve your mother and relatives closely!

No one will doubt the filial piety of this young master!

Because Emperor Daxing was so filial to Cisheng Guangxian.

Cao Ji's title of military governor and county king is the best evidence!

Cao Yi was able to give birth to a county prince, pay homage to the governor, and practice the courtesy of the emperor personally calling him uncle and treating him like a prince.

When Ci Shengguang died, Cao Yi wanted to invite the county, but Emperor Daxing refused, so he stayed in the capital. He still treated him like his uncle, and was ordered to be the first one and the third hundredth couplet!

I really envy others!

So...I can do it too!

With such excitement, Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji lowered their heads together, facing the curtain respectfully, and had already taken the young master to bow to their Queen Mother and the Emperor twice.

"I wish you all the best to the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"The two countrymen are exempt from the gift!" the young master's voice came from the room: "Come on, give the two countrymen a seat! Give them tea!"

Then the ministers brought the wooden pillar and placed it in front of the two of them, and served them tea.

Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji quickly thanked them and then sat down.

This time it was Xiang Zonghui who took the lead.

He said softly: "I come to the palace this time to express my gratitude..."

"The Empress Dowager has come down to show her kindness. Your Majesty, the Emperor, has treated me favorably with a humble minister..."

"I am so grateful that I can't repay you in return..."

Yes, a stacking yard with an annual revenue of well over 50,000 yuan.

Even if the Xiang family relies on this, it is enough for the whole family to have enough food and clothing, and live happily.

Gao Gongji also said: "Everyone in the minister's family deeply feels that the emperor's kindness is so great, but there is really nothing they can do to repay it..."

"From now on, I will be loyal to the country and abide by my duties..."

This is the good thing about being a relative of the Song Dynasty.

He only wants money, not power, and he is usually responsible and will not cross his own red line as a relative: talk less about state affairs and make more money.

The reason why Zhao Xu's father's new law was criticized by his relatives, Xunchen, and the clan.

It's just because it hinders them from making money.

Zhao Xu knew these things very well in his heart.

So, he looked at Empress Dowager Xiang, and then said meaningfully to Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji outside the curtain: "Please go back and tell the other relatives..."

“There are still many good days to come!”

Zhao Xu is not afraid that his relatives don’t like money, but he is afraid that these guys are not greedy enough!

And, to be honest, look at the virtues of Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji now!

That's it?

It can only be said that their poor imagination limits their vision.

I would be satisfied with tens of thousands of dollars a year.

If Zhao Xu told them that as long as the cotton was grown well, a million dollars a year would be trivial, then would they be crazy?

Of course, Zhao Xu also knew that no one would believe him now.

Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji were even more excited when they heard Zhao Xu's words.

The two of them hurriedly bowed again: "It's all thanks to your majesty's kindness. The empress dowager shows mercy and the empress dowager expresses your kindness!"

Queen Mother Xiang, who was beside Zhao Xu, couldn't help but nod her head when she saw this scene, feeling deeply satisfied.

Zhao Xu then took the opportunity to ask: "The two national relatives have received the imperial decree, but we don't know when they will set off?"

Two days ago, Zhao Xu's good fourth uncle had already respectfully welcomed the Buddha's tooth relic from the Daxiangguo Temple into the palace.

Yousi has also made seals, official uniforms and tokens for Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui.

Xiang Zonghui heard this and replied: "Your Majesty, I am still raising manpower in Bianjing City. It will take some time..."

Zhao Xu nodded, it has always been like this when relatives go out to serve as officials.

They will not take office alone, but will bring a large group of staff with them.

These staff members were basically either descendants of nobles or from Bianjing.
