After hearing Fang Ru's words, Zhao Junchen was thoughtful.

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, and it is all for profit.

Sima Qian's sentence can be said to be a sentence that breaks through the essence.

In this world, what can make greedy corrupt officials stop taking bribes?

The answer is simple, that is, there are more benefits than corruption and bribery!

As Fang Ru said, if you want the officials at all levels of the household department to stop being as greedy and accepting bribes as they are now, the only way to do this is to give them benefits equal to or more than those of corruption and bribery, and then Zhao Junchen can clearly say to them that "you must no longer embezzle the silver and grain in the household department".

Otherwise, don't look at the loyalty of the household to Zhao Junchen now, if Zhao Junchen didn't do anything, but just forced them to be honest and honest, they would also want to make Zhao Junchen's rebellion!

Because, these people's loyalty to Zhao Junchen is itself based on the benefits that Zhao Junchen can bring to them.

Zhao Junchen does not believe that there will be pure loyalty in this world, according to Zhao Junchen, the word "loyalty" is always based on various interests.

Even if the loyalty of those clean officials and clear streams is also for the ambition in their hearts, if the original loyal leaders cannot satisfy the aspirations in their hearts, is there not a saying "birds choose good trees to perch, and ministers choose to serve the king"?

Not to mention those corrupt officials. Only tangible benefits can be exchanged for their loyalty.

Thinking like this, Zhao Junchen said softly: "What you said is reasonable, now if you want to stabilize the household department and want to make them cleaner, this is the only way...... However, the shares of Yuerong Fang can no longer be given to them. ”

Fang Ru nodded and said: "That's true, in order to win over those Wen Guanliang's subordinate officials and let them defect to the master, 'Yuerong Fang' has already given them forty percent of the shares, and now in the hands of the master, there are only less than sixty percent of the shares, and it really can't be divided anymore." ”

Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru said this, they didn't care about the silver income brought by the shares of "Yuerongfang", with Zhao Junchen's current net worth, no matter how much he squandered it, it was enough for him to squander it for several lifetimes. What Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru care about is the control of these shares over "Yuerong Fang".

Nowadays, Zuo Lanshan and Zhan Shanchang's loyalty to Zhao Junchen is largely based on the interests of "Yuerong Fang", and only if Zhao Junchen continues to control "Yuerong Fang", their loyalty can be guaranteed.

If Zhao Junchen continues to distribute the shares of "Yuerong Fang", once the shares in Zhao Junchen's hands are insufficient, it is difficult to say who will be in charge of this "Yuerong Fang" in the future. And Zuo Lanshan and Zhan Shanchang are loyal, and it is difficult to say.

…………

"However......" Fang Ru frowned and said, "In addition to the income of 'Yuerong Fang', we have no other benefits in our hands to distribute to the people in the household department, but we are a little embarrassed." Why don't we buy some more profitable businesses? But where is it so easy to find a profitable business like 'Joy Place'? ”

Zhao Junchen suddenly smiled, frowned for a long time, and finally relaxed.

Seeing Zhao Junchen like this, Fang Ru was also overjoyed, and asked, "Master, why are you smiling?" But do you have a way? ”

Zhao Junchen nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "There is indeed a way, although it will take a while to do it, but I laughed not because I had an idea in my heart, but suddenly thought that if it was Qingyan who discussed things with me at this time, after knowing that I was planning to share the benefits outside, I would definitely jump up in a hurry." ”

Thinking of Xu Qingyan's greed for money, Fang Ru pursed his thin lips and said disdainfully: "Xu Qingyan is a person who is uneducated and short-sighted, except for being loyal to the master, he is simply useless, where can he think far-reaching for you, master?" With the current net worth savings of our Zhao Mansion, even if we eat gold and drink silver, it is enough for several lifetimes, so why bother to make money everywhere? Only by thinking more about your business in the court is the right way. Where does Xu Qingyan understand these things?! ”

Zhao Junchen patted Fang Ru's plain hand and said with a smile: "It's enough for him to be loyal, I have been intriguing with people all day long, and I can't be stable for a moment, and only in the face of you and Qingyan who treat me sincerely can I relax for a while." ”

Fang Ru suddenly smiled, let go of the hands that were massaging Zhao Junchen's head, wrapped his arms around Zhao Junchen's neck, and rested his head on Zhao Junchen's shoulder. ”

always felt that Fang Ru had something to say, Zhao Junchen thought about it for a while, but he was confused.

Zhao Junchen naturally couldn't understand that as his status became higher and higher, Fang Ru thought about the unknown uneasiness in his heart when he was from a humble background.

Zhao Junchen just felt that as long as he treated Fang Ru well, it would be enough.

But Zhao Junchen didn't know that sometimes, a promise for the future is more useful than anything else.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhao Junchen didn't think much about it, but just asked, "By the way, what is the situation at Tongji Temple?" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen mention the matter, Fang Ru also put away his arms that were hugging Zhao Junchen, and turned to massage Zhao Junchen's shoulders, and replied at the same time: "I have already instructed the Tongji Temple to go over, let them take advantage of the opportunity of refugees from all over the country to come to Beijing to complain, open a porridge shed for relief, and by the way preach the doctrine to those refugees, now the Tongji Temple is already a small momentum in the capital, taking advantage of this opportunity, it is just right to spread the influence outside the capital, Zhang Daoquan understands the severity, and has hurried to arrange." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "Those refugees are really pitiful, but I can't help each other because of the form, so I can only let Tongji Temple do it." In particular, those Shandong Heze refugees who were the first to enter Beijing to file a complaint were successively refused to accept the cases by the three law divisions, and it was embarrassing and embarrassing to be isolated in the capital, and they were stared at by everyone. ”

Fang Ru nodded and sighed: "That Zhang Daoquan is also a good hand in preaching, even if he thinks more carefully, he doesn't have a long-term vision, and at such a time, he still needs the master to help him come up with ideas, it's really useless." But it was bitter for the master, and the affairs in the court were enough to worry the master, and he had to be distracted by their Tongji Temple. ”

Zhao Junchen smiled again and said, "Isn't there still your help?" Since you took over the affairs of Tongji Temple, the Tongji Temple has finally been useful, and now Tongji Temple, our intelligence network in Beijing, has finally been completed. ”

Fang Ru smiled, and was just about to say a few words of humility, when he suddenly saw the two plates of dim sum he brought on the desk, thinking of his hard work in helping Zhao Junchen establish an intelligence network these days, but Zhao Junchen was "disgusted" that the pastries he made were not as delicious as Chu Jiayi, and he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in his heart.

"The dim sum I make is not as delicious as Chu Jiayi's, and I can only help the master share his worries in these things."

As soon as the words came out, Fang Ru regretted it a little, feeling that her words had some sourness, for fear that it would cause Zhao Junchen to be angry, so she hurriedly looked at Zhao Junchen.

And Zhao Junchen was also turning his head to look at Fang Ru at this time, with something thoughtful in his eyes.

With Fang Ru's sour anger slightly discharged, Zhao Junchen was not wood, and when he contacted Fang Ru's sudden dim sum made and sent it today, as well as those casual words, he finally understood Fang Ru's thoughts in his heart.

With the appearance of Chu Jiayi, even though she knew that Chu Jiayi was just an enemy spy who was used by Zhao Junchen, because Chu Jiayi's own appearance was too outstanding, and Fang Ru's inferiority complex about her background, Fang Ru had a strong sense of crisis and unease, afraid that Chu Jiayi would share Zhao Junchen's attention and favor for her, and even worried that Chu Jiayi would one day take her place in Zhao Junchen's heart.

"It's just a Chu Jiayi, knowing that she is just a spy, it still makes Fang Ru feel so uneasy, I thought that she was shrewd and capable, and she must also be a strong-hearted woman, but now it seems that she is much more fragile than I imagined...... Also, Fang Ru's heart pounced on me, and the 'strength' she expressed came from me, not from herself, and this kind of strength that existed because of others would also become fragile because of others......"

Zhao Junchen thought secretly.

Then, Zhao Junchen suddenly appeared, although he and Fang Ru were familiar with each other and had the fact of husband and wife, he had never understood Fang Ru.

Perhaps, Fang Ru herself is unwilling to reveal her vulnerability and uneasiness to Zhao Junchen, or in Fang Ru's opinion, a weak-hearted Fang Ru is not worthy of Zhao Junchen's attention.

Therefore, no matter how fragile and uneasy Fang Ru really is, in front of Zhao Junchen, Fang Ru always looks shrewd and capable.

Such a shrewd and capable mask deceived Zhao Junchen, and many times also deceived Fang Ru himself.

Thinking like this, and thinking of Fang Ru's various efforts for himself these days, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

I feel guilty about why I didn't realize this earlier.

Then, Zhao Junchen suddenly stood up, then turned to look at Fang Ru.

Zhao Junchen's movements were sudden, making Fang Ru think that Zhao Junchen was angry because of his pantothenic acid just now, and his body shook slightly, like a frightened little white rabbit, he no longer saw his usual capable and spicy, but just hung down and hesitated to say something.

Zhao Junchen suddenly said: "Ru'er, after this period of time, everything is settled, I will officially marry you as a side room, let you be a concubine, I am too wronged by you, but unfortunately there is only so much I can give you." ”

The status of concubines is similar to that of a maid in a room, extremely lowly, and many high-ranking officials and nobles regard concubines as goods and give them away casually.

The side room is different, once Fang Ru becomes the side room, her title of "Mrs. Ruyi" can be regarded as worthy of the name.

With Zhao Junchen's current status and the choice of his wife, even Emperor Deqing will interfere, and there is only so much that can be given to Fang Ru.

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Fang Ru was shocked at first, and after understanding what Zhao Junchen meant, he was overjoyed, and the joy in his eyes seemed to be scorching.

But then, Fang Ru suddenly thought of something, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and after hesitating for a moment, he actually said: "Master can't be so ......"

The voice is slight, but the attitude is very firm!
