Chapter 523: The 3rd Prince Recommends Talents
Ye Tianren lowered his head, took out a few account books from his arms and handed them to Mu Qingqing respectfully.
"Master, the two books on the top are account books of wealthy merchants and officials who sponsored road and bridge construction, and the one on the bottom is the account book of frostbite cream sponsored for soldiers on the frontiers. I have already recorded the amount on the corresponding merit tablet according to the size of the amount."
As for the wealthy businessmen with assets exceeding one million taels of silver, there is only one at present - Fu Renjie.
Ye Tianran followed Mu Qingqing's instructions and asked Emperor Tai'an to issue an imperial decree to reward Fu Renjie, along with a copy of calligraphy written by Emperor Tai'an himself.
According to Mu Qingqing's request, the eunuch took the imperial edict and walked around the busiest streets in Shengjing City, repeatedly reading out the contents of the reward edict.
If there were curious people around, the eunuch would stop.
He kindly told them about the various awards the sponsor who donated one million taels had received, over and over again.
Mu Qingqing believed that through this wave of legends, in the near future, many wealthy businessmen would make large donations for the sake of their descendants.
Mu Qingqing opened the account book and quickly flipped through it, and found that the account book made by Ye Tianran was not only neatly written, but also had no mistakes in the data.
He couldn't help but nodded with relief, took out a few plans from his arms, and handed them to Ye Tianran along with the account books.
"Tianran, study these plans carefully when you go back. See if there are any suitable talents. As long as their character is good enough, you can hire them."
Most of these plans focus on selecting talents, supplemented by building corresponding colleges, to provide fresh blood, young and energetic, for the court of Donglin Kingdom.
Almost one-third of the officials in the court who followed King Xiaoyao in the rebellion years ago were all executed by Emperor Tai'an for treason.
In today's court, most of those left are old-timers.
He has not made much contribution to the Donglin Kingdom, and he rarely makes mistakes.
The main goal is to live a peaceful and happy life, and it would be best if you can live until the day when you can retire and return home.
Mu Qingqing had no intention of taking action against these people before she had trained a successor.
With them around, at least during the four-nation (now there are only three-nation) competition, we can fill the cheerleading team.
Ye Tianran carefully put away the account book, opened the plan, quickly browsed a few pages, and suddenly stood up.
"Master, I came here today to recommend you a good friend who is talented in both literature and martial arts, and has a good character."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingqing's eyes were filled with excitement and joy. "Oh~~ Who is this talented scholar with both literary and martial arts skills? Has the teacher ever met him?"
Ye Tianran stood up straight and answered respectfully: "Master should have met Brother Zixuan on the day of the chrysanthemum viewing banquet in Qinya Garden."
Mu Qingqing repeated it twice in a low voice, her eyes suddenly brightening, "Are you talking about the young man who was reciting poems and appreciating chrysanthemums with you in the pavilion?"
Seeing that Mu Qingqing was impressed by Lu Zixuan, Ye Tianran nodded vigorously.
"Lu Zixuan, Zixuan, what is his relationship with Lu Ziyuan?"
After Mu Qingqing read Lu Zixuan's name twice, she felt that it was so similar to Lu Ziyuan's name. Could they be brothers?
"Master, although Zixuan and Lu Ziyuan are brothers, they are very different in terms of literary talent, interpersonal relationships, and character."
Ye Tianran was afraid that Mu Qingqing would misunderstand her good brother's character, so he quickly spoke up to explain for him.
When Mu Qingqing saw her cold-tempered disciple anxiously explaining to Lu Zixuan, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Qingqing, I can testify to this. Lu Zixuan is indeed a rare talent."
Prime Minister Mu raised his head from behind the desk and made a serious promise to Mu Qingqing.
"Qingqing, Lu Zixuan is indeed different from the others in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. He is very capable and has great martial arts skills. If you can recruit him as your subordinate, it will be a great help to you."
Ye Nanli thought of the huge Beimu City, which needed a man of both civil and military talents like Lu Zixuan to guard it so that it could be quickly stabilized.
When Mu Qingqing heard Ye Nanli say the same thing, she became very curious about Lu Zixuan.
Mu Qingqing had dealt with Lu Ziyuan several times before.
Apart from his advantageous status and a strong backing, Lu Ziyuan is a cowardly, ruffian and incompetent person.
How could brothers born from the same parents be so different from each other?!
I can only say that genes are really amazing!
Whether you can inherit good genes from your parents depends entirely on God's will.
Mu Qingqing and Ye Nanli thought the same thing, but considering that Lu Zixuan was a young master in the capital, they wondered if he had the spirit to endure hardship?
He then asked very seriously: "Tianran, my master's Beimu City is in need of people. I wonder if your good brother can go there to suffer?"
We have just taken over Beimu City, so there are definitely many areas that need reform.
If you take office at this time, you have to do everything yourself, which is the most tiring and difficult time.
Ye Tianran bowed and clasped his fists, "Master, before I recommended Brother Zixuan, I told him about the situation in Beimu City, and he agreed without saying a word."
Lu Zixuan's expression at that time was extremely excited, just like an eagle that had been locked in a cage for a long time and was finally able to spread its wings and soar into the sky.
Mu Qingqing thought of the prince in the palace and Grand Tutor Lu, whom she had met once before, and couldn't help but confirm with Ye Tianran: "His family won't object, right?"
Before, he had spent 120,000 taels of gold in the palace on the empress, for fear that the prince would be petty and do something bad behind her back.
The fact that the prince was narrow-minded was accidentally mentioned by Ye Nanli and Mu Qingqing.
It is said that the prince has been jealous over the years because Emperor Tai'an treats his sixth brother better than his biological son.
In order to take revenge on Ye Nanli, she often played tricks behind his back and did some harmless bad things.
It was because the prince had only been doing some minor tricks behind the scenes over the years, and Ye Nanli, as his elder, had turned a blind eye and pretended to know nothing.
"Master, please rest assured! Zixuan said that everything in the mansion will be inherited by his younger brother Lu Ziyuan in the future. It's just right for him to go out and fight alone."
"What? Everything in the Lu Mansion will be inherited by that idiot Lu Ziyuan? Is the head of the Lu Mansion crazy?"
Mu Qingqing scratched her ear with her little finger, a look of suspicion on her face.
"Master, this subordinate knows the reason!"
Zuo Si, who had been serving as a background wall behind Mu Qingqing, jumped out, his face full of gossip, looking as if he couldn't help but speak out.
Zuo San, who was standing next to Zuo Si, still kept grasping something with his left hand, with a look of despair on his face: Brother, why are you everywhere?
The master didn't ask you, why did you jump out so excitedly?
As a fan of the same kind of gossip, Nangong Qi held a cup of milk tea in one hand and walnut-flavored melon seeds in the other, "Left Four, tell me something quickly, so that I can have some fun too."
Looking at Zuo Si’s expression, you can tell that there is a lot of water inside the Lu Mansion, and the story must be very exciting.
Ye Tianran looked at Nangong Qi woodenly. Are you ready to watch a show anytime and anywhere?
He silently shed a tear for his good brother: Brother Lu, it seems that the privacy of your house can no longer be maintained.
