Chapter 142: Don’t let people who do practical things feel disappointed

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Qing was reviewing memorials to the emperor's memorials when he saw Li Chengping rushing in. He was a little surprised.

"Third brother, why are you here? Don't worry, I have already drafted the imperial edict, and I will send someone to deliver it to your house later."

He smiled slightly, thinking that Li Chengping came for the reward.

"Father, I am here to give you a suggestion."

"There are many veteran ministers in the court of Qing Kingdom. They have worked for Qing Kingdom for many years. For such meritorious officials, I suggest that we provide them with some financial support based on their financial conditions."

"This way, other officials will see your painstaking efforts and will be able to better serve the Qing Kingdom!"

“We can’t let those who do practical things feel discouraged!”

Li Chengping bowed and saluted.

He knew Emperor Qing's character very well. If he said that he wanted to meet him just for Lai Mingcheng, the other party would definitely not agree.

He had no choice but to change his way of saying it.

These people in the court are all high-ranking officials. Looking throughout the capital, it is really difficult to find a second third-rank official who is as poor as Lai Mingcheng!

Emperor Qing was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Chengping was so anxious to enter the palace just for this matter.

On second thought, this matter seems to be just as Li Chengping said, and we should indeed give some care to those old ministers.

"Third brother, since you proposed this matter, then you will do it. I will give you a handwritten order. Take it to the Ministry of Revenue to collect silver."

"As for how much each person will be given, you will submit a memorial to me later."

Li Chengping didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he hurried out with the imperial edict.

As soon as he left, Emperor Qing called Eunuch Hou in.

"I will issue a notice in my name. All Qing officials who have been in office for more than ten years and have no political blemishes can apply for a subsidy from the court. If there are those with outstanding political achievements, I will give them a generous reward!"

"If you don't understand the details, you can talk to the third brother."

Eunuch Hou nodded calmly, but the moment he walked out of the palace, his heart was filled with waves.

His Majesty actually agreed to the Third Prince’s proposal!
He was filled with astonishment, and could even imagine that once this decree was issued, officials all over the country would definitely remember Li Chengping's kindness when they received their subsidies.

Eunuch Hou acted quickly and soon arranged for the guards to post the notice at various intersections.

Seeing that the royal family had new moves, many people came to watch.

"Your Majesty is going to give benefits to officials. This is really enviable!"

"I envy you for being an official. What's there to be jealous of? It has nothing to do with ordinary people like us anyway."

"That's true. Even if there are officials in this world who can do practical things for everyone, they will definitely not be in the capital."

The people grumbled a few words and dispersed one after another.

When the spy from the Supervisory Council learned of this, he quickly reported it to Chen Pingping.

After some investigation, he soon focused his attention on Li Chengping.

"It seems that this proposal was made by the Third Prince, but this request is really too difficult. I'm afraid that few people in the capital can get it."

"But this incident can provide some subsidies to grassroots officials and make their lives easier."

Chen Pingping showed relief and a bit of appreciation on his face.

Since Li Chengping inherited the inner treasury, all his arrangements were disrupted, which made Chen Pingping feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, from what happened in Jiangnan to the current announcement, it can be seen that the third prince is truly concerned about the people of the world.

Regarding the Ming family case, the Supervisory Yuan has been investigating for many years but has only learned a few superficial details.

After Li Chengping arrived, he immediately dealt with the Ming family with thundering means.

This kind of decisiveness and courage is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"It seems that the third prince really has a heart for the country and the people. Perhaps, he is a good choice!" Chen Pingping's eyes flickered, and he tapped his fingers on the armrest, wondering what he was thinking.

……

Li Chengping was not idle. He went straight to the Ministry of Revenue after receiving the imperial edict.

Since the previous Minister of Revenue was assassinated, Fan Jian officially took over the position of Minister of Revenue.

With his relationship with Emperor Qing, he could have taken advantage of the situation, but he didn't do that and worked diligently every day.

Perhaps it is because of this that Emperor Qing is so confident in this old friend.

"Third Prince, why are you here?"

Seeing Li Chengping coming to his house, Fan Jian was a little surprised and quickly stood up and bowed.

"Master Fan, there is no need to be so polite. I came here today to transfer a batch of silver from the Ministry of Revenue."

As he spoke, Li Chengping handed over Emperor Qing's handwritten edict.

Fan Jian took a quick glance and recognized that it was Emperor Qing's handwriting.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being so nosy, but where will this money be used?"

"This is some subsidy for Qingguo officials."

Li Chengping smiled and narrated the story.

"Your Highness, this is truly a noble act. I wonder how much subsidy a person like me can receive?"

"Lord Fan's family is quite wealthy, so they should not lack the imperial court's subsidy. What do you think?"

"Haha, I was just joking. Since there is a written order from His Majesty, there is no problem with this matter. However, the amount of silver to be distributed is not clear yet. I suggest that Your Highness write them a note and ask them to bring their silver to the Ministry of Revenue to collect it."

"Thank you for the reminder, Master Fan!"

Li Chengping clasped his fists, bowed, and left in a hurry.

"We all grew up together, why is there such a big difference between us?"

Fan Jian looked at the back and muttered something.

He was talking about his youngest son Fan Sizhe, who spent all day tinkering with some bookstore, but unfortunately he could only earn a little money.

After being reminded by Fan Jian, Li Chengping turned around and went to the Ministry of Personnel again.

Just let the Minister of Personnel get the list of officials, and all the officials in the capital will be recorded in the list.

It is really difficult to find a person without any political blemishes, but such people do exist.

There is no need to say much about Lai Mingcheng, the upright old man. In addition, there are some other officials, but their ranks do not exceed the third rank.

In addition, he also found a familiar name among them, his future father-in-law, Ye Chong was also on the list!

On second thought, there's nothing wrong with this.

As the commander of the Kyoto Garrison Division, Ye Chong never had any dealings with outsiders, and he rarely even heard of their names.

If the Ye family didn’t have the famous Grandmaster Ye Liuyun, probably no one would think of the name Ye Chong!

After writing down the names of these officials, Li Chengping immediately returned to the palace and locked himself in the study.

Half an hour later, the door of the study opened and a stack of notes appeared in his hand.

It clearly states how much silver each official can receive, and to prevent forgery, there is also his seal of King Wen on it.

With this thing, even if those people want to take advantage of loopholes, they won't have the chance.

The officials were given compensation in silver based on their political achievements and years in office, ranging from a minimum of one hundred taels to several hundred or even a thousand taels.

Those who have outstanding political achievements can receive more.

Of course, no one can meet these conditions for the time being.
