Chapter 1545: Catching Son-in-law in the Golden Palace

The gold and silver reserves of the Song Dynasty have been growing explosively since the founding of the South China Sea in the New Song Dynasty. Su You was a small player in Ningxia, but Dongsheng Prefecture, where the flat jar chair was discovered, was a gold and silver warehouse!

In the past two years, tens of millions of treasury silver worth tens of millions of dollars have been withdrawn from Dongsheng Prefecture, and this growth has no end in sight!

It can be said that Zhao Xu's children's shoes have great luck. They have inherited the most prosperous foundation in China for thousands of years and can be called the reincarnation of the God of Wealth.

It is no wonder that Fan Zuyu kept writing letters, asking the country to vigorously promote economy, promote frugality, and put an end to extravagance and waste.

With this account, the economic performance of the entire country was clearly displayed in front of the court officials. Li Chang was unreliable, and Su You was responsible for explaining it. It took three days for the officials to digest it.

However, Li Chang's hard work was not over yet, because the court's next investment budget was about to begin again.

Although Zhao Xu supported Suyou's 15 million Guan Hebei Fourth Road Development Fund, it was to ensure profits. Suyou reached out mercilessly and first withheld 1 million Guan from the budget for the Suncun diversion project.

Four million guan were used for the first phase of the railway, and they even shamelessly claimed that the Ministry of Household Affairs should allocate 15 million guan to Hebei in the first year, but it was His Majesty's great grace that allocated the money, which relieved the Ministry of Household's burden of 10 million guan.

With Su You taking the lead, big bosses from various ministries and outsiders started making noises about how to divide the 190 million yuan next year.

Just make a fuss, and if you want it to be approved, your plan must be eye-catching, and you must honestly accept supervision. Then there will be countless ideas for screening on the desk, and countless talents will stand out.

What everyone has not yet realized is that the power of the prime minister has been secretly transformed by Su You from focusing on personnel appointments and removals to focusing on financial approval.

This can be regarded as another move to produce cakes. In the future political life of the Song Dynasty, the power of financial approval will actually be as important as the power of personnel appointment and dismissal.

There will definitely be troubles of one kind or another in the future, which are caused by human nature, but Su You can at least guarantee that he will be calm and comfortable in the next few years.

In Ding Mao, Liu Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

In Wuchen, Liang Tao, the official who was demoted to the right to admonish him, learned about Luzhou, and Sun Sheng, the imperial censor, learned about Jizhou.

Su You had no involvement in this matter. It was an internal quarrel among the conservatives and an addiction to talking about personnel appointments and removals.

However, the cause of the matter is still related to Su You, because he once praised Zhang Shunmin from Gao Taotao, who was alone to pay homage to Wang Anshi.

Gao Taotao felt that this man was a good person, he understood friendship and perseverance, and was not swayed by the changes in the court. He was a good material to be a censor.

However, Liang Tao, the right-wing remonstrator, as a conservative party, firmly disagreed and begged to return Zhang Shunmin's Taiwan post, and wrote more than ten memorials. Zhang Wen was also unable to refute Shunmin's order when he was facing responsibility in the provincial government. He thought he had neglected his duty and ridiculed him.

Zhang Wen is greedy for salary and refuses to leave, because he doesn't know what the world calls shame.

Sun Sheng, the imperial censor, also wrote a letter of impeachment, quoting Liang Tao's words of "not being ashamed".

This is called bullying someone in front of someone of the same rank. Of course Su You would not show any mercy.

In Wushen, Ding Zhi was appointed as the right official, and Zhao Tingzhi, the administrator of the secret pavilion and Zhucheng, was appointed as the supervisory censor.

Ding Zhi was a conservative. He proposed new laws on his own and refused to be the county magistrate. He preferred to serve as a prisoner for dozens or twenty years at a reduced salary, so many people called him him.

The Liao envoy watched the ceremony silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Qiande is a prince, so theoretically he should have a purple robe and gold belt, but he has been studying in the Song Dynasty for many years and has been Chen Zhaoming's student. This year he gave up his identity and was not even willing to participate in the lock-in examination arranged by the court for officials' children and clan members. , went to the Kaifeng government office to find Qian Xie, and asked to take a formal scientific examination and become an official with merit.

Fortunately, Qian Xie himself is a descendant of King Qian and a hereditary marquis. He then relied on his excellent academic performance to enter the officialdom. He greatly admired Li Qiande's ambition and thought that you, young man, have the same demeanor as I did back then.

For such a big event, he dared not inform the court, so he readily agreed to Li Qiande's request and even personally filled in the exam slips for him.

There were too many people taking the imperial examination this year, so Li Qiande mingled among them and passed all the tests. It was not until the palace examination that Zhao Xu, who was warmed by soy sauce, found out and went back to report to Gao Taotao.

From the age of six to ten, Zhao Xu also hung out with Flat Pot, Colander, Chair and the others for a long time, and was quite familiar with this calm and indifferent brother beside Bachelor Chen.

Gao Taotao was also shocked. The Prince of Jiaozhi County was so courageous? And he even passed the exam?!

Because in theory, as long as you pass the Rites Examination, you will not fail in the palace examination. If Li Qianshun can enter the palace, he has already obtained the title of Jinshi.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Rites presented the top ten test papers, and Li Qiande's name was once again on the list!

After Gao Taotao carefully read Li Qiande's imperial examination paper, he greatly appreciated it. He changed the order with Sun Xie, who was originally scheduled for third place, and selected him as the third overall winner in Yuanyou's second year.

Then he turned around and educated Zhao Xu in the tone of a parent who uses good classmates as examples to teach his children, look at the King of Jiaozhi County, this should be your role model!

After the salute, Li Qiande stood in the hall, his demeanor modest and indifferent, just like a young Chen Zhaoming.

Gao Taotao liked what he saw behind the curtain and couldn't help asking: "How old is the prince? Has he ever been married?"

Li Qiande's face turned red: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am nineteen this year and have not... not yet been married."

Gao Taotao's voice showed joy: "That's really great..."
