Chapter 212 Women's Bank
The historian standing behind the pillar kept working, looking at the excited expressions of the civil and military officials with a sneer on his lips. In this era, historians also have to survive. We will record whatever history Your Majesty wants.
However, thanks to Lord Xu for reminding him, he will go back today and organize the things accumulated by his ancestors that cannot be written into the formal history books into a book and copy them several times.
He would also record down word for word what the officials in the Daqian court are like now, so that these officials would be embarrassed for the rest of their lives.
Then, whenever someone in their family died, they would take a copy to the grave, so there would always be a copy that could be passed on.
Let future generations know the true historical facts.
Then he would make his family of upright historians famous through the ages.
After the morning court session ended that day, everyone rushed out of the court room.
Xu Jinyu was still sighing leisurely behind him,
[Sure enough, no one wants to take this class, whether it’s ancient or modern.]
The civil and military officials had no interest in Xu Jinyu's sigh. Their only thought now was to go back and forge the evidence.
Pooh!
What is forgery? It is to leave precious documentary materials for future generations, so that people in later generations can understand the living habits, price levels and everything of Daqian.
The entire Daqian is vividly presented to the eyes of future generations.
"Quick, quick, quick! Call the court painters and the students of the Hanlin Academy to come here, and have them write poems and draw portraits for me."
As soon as the court was dismissed, Emperor Xuan gave orders in a hurry.
Zi Shuyan looked at his father who was full of excitement. He tried to hold back but couldn't help asking, "Father, aren't you afraid that your own imperial tomb will be dug up?"
Emperor Xuan was tidying up his clothes with the help of Eunuch Liu, and he answered without turning his head: "What are you afraid of? It's not that the imperial tomb is being dug up, it's that the glorious deeds of your father and I are being exposed to the light of day."
"At worst, I can be quietly buried somewhere else, and only my great achievements will be left in the imperial mausoleum."
Zi Shuyan sighed helplessly, Xu Jinyu was just so powerful.
Just now, all the officials in the court were worried about what would happen after their death.
Now they are not worried at all. Instead, they look forward to their graves being dug up, because their faked glorious deeds are contained in the graves.
Ah!
Zi Shuyan felt that he should prepare something for himself. He was not good at forging things.
But you can prepare more self-portraits for yourself. Didn’t Xu Jinyu say that her appearance is comparable to that of a celebrity?
Now that I am still young, if I don’t compete on achievements, I can still compete on appearance, and I can also bring the Crown Princess along.
besides······
Zi Shuyan hurried back to his own East Palace.
After this day, the coolies who were repairing graves for others in the capital city suddenly became busy. In the middle of winter, people asked them to survey the terrain and prepare to repair graves as soon as spring came.
Just as busy as the laborers who repaired the tombs were the scholars in the capital, as suddenly many people hired them to write articles or poems.
They are all articles praising people or flattering them.
The scholars make a lot of money, but when they write too many articles to flatter others, it's really disgusting.
When did the atmosphere in the capital become like this?
But no matter how they asked around, they couldn't find out where this trend came from.
The embroiderer was a worker in a sugar-making workshop. Recently, all the workshops in the capital were looking for women.
As soon as the embroiderer heard that women were being recruited, she signed up and was lucky enough to be selected.
She had no choice but to come to work. Her daughter was five years old, but because she didn't eat well, she was so thin and small that she looked no different from a three-year-old child.
My husband and mother-in-law didn't like girls and wanted to sell the child. It was only because I fought desperately that the child was not sold.
The situation didn't improve until I started working. At least when I took home some money, my mother-in-law would give the child some food for the sake of the money.
She is already very satisfied with this, as long as the child can grow up safely.
But last night when she went back, she saw her mother-in-law and husband sitting at the table eating pork and a roast chicken, the meal was very good.
Unfortunately, her daughter was not at the dinner table at all. She was under the table, chewing on the bones that her mother-in-law and husband had thrown under the table.
The daughter held the bone, which had no flesh at all, tightly in her hand, her face full of happiness.
The embroiderer's tears suddenly fell.
The money for buying chickens and pork was earned by himself, so why couldn’t his own daughter even have a bite of meat?
She got her wages again today and stood on the street, not knowing whether to go home.
If she goes home, she will lose the wages she has, but if she doesn't go home, what will happen to her daughter?
My mother-in-law and husband would not be so kind as to feed their daughter.
The embroiderer walked up and down the street, but couldn't make up her mind what to do.
At this time, a newly opened shop caught her attention.
The guards and staff of this shop are all women. A shop staffed entirely by women is definitely an eye-catching presence on the street.
There were several women standing at the door of the shop, enthusiastically greeting the women on the street.
"Miss, would you like to deposit money? This is a newly opened bank. As long as you deposit your money here, it will be safe."
"Does the lady save money?"
A lady asked curiously, "What is saving money?"
"You just deposit your money in our bank, and you can withdraw it whenever you want. You just need to pay a small storage fee."
The lady's eyes widened: "Am I crazy or something, giving my money to someone else for safekeeping."
"Miss, this is all for convenience, and..."
Before the employee could finish his words, the lady turned around and left.
No matter how enthusiastic these employees are, they have never set foot inside this bank. How can you feel at ease handing your money over to someone else?
"But our bank was opened by Princess Tai'an, Princess Changle, the Empress, and several other nobles. There is absolutely no problem with our integrity."
Mary murmured unwillingly.
As an abacus master as Her Royal Highness the Princess calls her, she has successfully mastered the skills under the training of the accountant in the Princess's Mansion.
Then, under the deception of "Her Highness the Princess, if you work hard, you will be able to control the purses of all the women in Daqian", she came to work in this women's bank.
However, this women's bank has been open for several days, but no woman has walked into the bank and is willing to deposit her money into it.
Princess Taian!
The embroiderer's ears twitched. This women's bank was opened by Princess Tai'an.
