Snapped!
A slap on Zhu Zuojing's face!
Zhu Zuojing stood in Fengtian Square, shivering.
The whole face was slapped. These civil servants seemed to be weak, but when they slapped them, they all used force!
How could the emperor not punish him?
I want to punish him to death!
Zhu Zuojing was swaying, and there were two imperial doctors waiting beside him. They treated him immediately when he fell, then made him stand up, and then they were beaten.
Zhu Zuojing wailed.
The emperor ordered the princes of the world to enter the capital. How many people are left who can get out of the capital alive?
You see clearly, this emperor is a cruel king!
In the court, there are all the sycophants of the ages!
Not a single good thing!
Zhu Zuojing was in a mess in the wind, and the news reached Zhu Qiyu's ears.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips raised: "I'm not pretending to be faint, but I'm a man. I haven't disgraced the old Zhu family."
"Your Majesty, the Tian family has integrity after all!" Feng Xiao flattered him.
Zhu Qiyu was noncommittal: "Have you received a report from the vassal king?"
"Go back to your Majesty, the kings of Huguang have already set off for Beijing." Feng Xiao reported back.
"Look, you are afraid of power but not moral. No one listens to my imperial edict and uses my imperial edict as a wiping paper. Only when the army comes in front of you will you be afraid and scared."
Zhu Qiyu was not worried about their rebellion at all.
Because after emperors Taizong and Xuanzong reduced the vassal, the number of the Prince's Guards was around 6,000. These people were infiltrated by major forces. It was okay to accompany the vassal king and cause mischief, but forget about rebellion.
Although the soldiers led by Li Zhen and Yang Xin were small in number, they were all equipped with firearms. They suppressed bandits along the way and gathered tough bandits into the camp, and their power became stronger and stronger.
Any blind vassal king who rebels will be destroyed overnight.
The Beijing camp led by Fan Guang was also urging the northwest kings to set off for Beijing.
"What about the merchants entering Beijing?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, according to the message from the post office, merchants from all over the world are on their way to Beijing."
Feng Xiao said cautiously: "Most of the people who entered the capital first were collateral branches of merchants. When they entered the capital, they only did some small business and did not dare to compete with the royal merchants."
They are cautious.
"You go out of the palace in person, organize the merchant leaders in Beijing, and go to Xihua Gate. I want to talk to them."
Zhu Qiyu did not let them enter the palace.
Because the killing was too brutal last time, the merchants were extremely afraid of the palace and said that letting them enter the palace would easily have the opposite effect.
Furthermore, what qualifications do merchants have to enter the palace?
In the past, there was nothing he could do. He didn't dare to leave the palace. Now that the capital was under control, he naturally refused to break the rules.
"When does the emperor plan to summon the merchants?" Feng Xiao asked.
"Let's have an early morning session tomorrow."
Zhu Qiyu is ready to re-employ merchants.
There is no wealth without business. If you want to make people rich, you must develop business.
But this business must be controlled by him.
After finishing the instructions, he opened the secret message from the Guangzhou Shipping Department.
It came from the eunuch of the Shibo Department. In the secret message, he described a plant that looked like sugar cane and produced golden-hued rod-shaped fruits. It looked very pleasant and beautiful.
According to the foreign envoys selling the goods, the food is edible, has a sweet taste and is very delicious.
"corn?"
Zhu Qiyu stood up suddenly, his eyes shining.
But he couldn't believe it, so he read it again and again. Unfortunately, Liu Yu, the admiral and eunuch, did not draw it, but only gave a rough description.
But no matter how you look at it, it looks like corn!
"Really corn?"
Zhu Qiyu read the secret memorial again, over and over a dozen times, and it seemed like it was true.
"Pass the message and ask Liu Yu to take this plant and enter the capital as soon as possible!"
Zhu Qiyu's mood cannot be described as excitement.
Because he didn't dare to get excited, he was worried that if the plants Liu Yu sent were not corn, his joy would be in vain.
It’s not exciting, because it’s still unknown whether corn in this era can survive in cold climates and harsh soil.
As for high yield, don't worry about it. If you can grow it, it's good.
Anyway, his mood at the moment was mixed and very complicated.
"Huaien! Send it as a rush as 800 miles away! Let Liu Yu enter the capital as soon as possible, and have all the guards send troops to escort you along the way. Nothing will happen to that plant!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted: "Tell Liu Yu that if the plant dies, I will pick off his dog's head!"
"My slave obeys the order!" Wynn kowtowed.
"Take the water route and be quick!"
Zhu Qiyu was still anxious.
This is corn. With it, the northwest will be full and Liaodong can be developed!
Wynn left the Qinzheng Hall.
Zhu Qiyu couldn't calm down.
I walked back and forth a few times, trying to calm myself down.
Don't let people see the flaws.
He is a dove occupying a magpie's nest, so no one can doubt him.
But he didn't pay attention to these before, and he talked about crops with high yield and adaptability to cold areas as if he had seen them before.
If someone is careful to figure it out, they will find that he seems to have opened his eyes, and there are some things that he seems to know from birth.
But eight years ago, Jingtai didn't know it.
This is the biggest flaw!
Once it is revealed, it is likely to be detrimental to him.
"How to cover it up?" Zhu Qiyu tapped the table with his fingertips.
He didn't pay attention before, which resulted in many flaws.
He didn't kill people at will in the past, and the officials wouldn't study him thoroughly.
But now, he has great power, he can kill people at will, and all the officials in the world are extremely smart, so they naturally start to study him.
"Deification!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Deify me and make me the reincarnation of a god. This is a trick often used by Buddhism and Taoism. The key is that I have opened my heavenly eyes and know everything!"
Originally, Zhu Qiyu really didn't care.
He is the emperor anyway, who dares to question him?
But.
There is also the Mobei King who is ready to make a move, and the impure-minded Crown Prince! Even the kings in the world who try to overstep!
Will the officials in the world take this opportunity to welcome King Mobei to the throne?
Don't forget, he still has the handle, which is in Hu Hu's hands.
We must find a way to surpass Hu Hui and make me a truly orthodox emperor!
Things that were ignored before must be made up for this time.
Zhu Qiyu fell into deep thought.
He pretended to review the memorial, but in fact he was wandering around.
Huaien came back and reported that Geng Yu had selected a beautiful girl and came to the Qinzheng Hall to thank him.
"Sent it out?" Zhu Qiyu calmed down and asked.
"Go back to your Majesty, we have already rushed 800 miles to Guangzhou." Wynn knelt down and reported back.
The 800-mile expedited service is not commonly used. It is usually used for particularly important matters.
At this speed, many horses will be killed and it will cost a lot of money.
"The reports sent by Liu Yu every day are delivered directly to me. I have to read them every day." Zhu Qiyu was very anxious.
Wynn was surprised, what on earth was that plant? Can it affect the emperor's heart like this?
"Let Geng Yu wait until I finish reading the memorial." Zhu Qiyu didn't even raise his head, his brows furrowed.
"This Shaanxi Chief Minister is really a lion!"
"Just open your mouth and ask me for one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Li Nai is also an old minister, why is he still babbling? If something happens, he can't sit still on the bench!"
"The Director of Ceremonies did a good job in approving it. Zhang Yong has a long memory."
Li Nai, the governor of Shaanxi Province, reported that there was a drought in Shaanxi this spring, so he asked the court to allocate funds to fund water collection.
Then build water conservancy projects to irrigate farmland and alleviate drought.
The Supervisor of Rites approved: Shaanxi was ordered to raise funds for water extraction on its own and to list detailed items for water conservancy projects and submit them for approval.
If corn cultivation is promoted in Shaanxi, it won't matter if it doesn't rain.
It's a pity that even if the corn offered by the Municipal Bureau is really corn, it will take at least two to three years to promote it. Alas, it is difficult to do practical things. No wonder they all like empty talk. How easy it is to brag.
"How many days has it not rained in the capital?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly raised his head and asked.
"It's been more than ten days since I got back to you, Your Majesty." Wynn replied.
"Has the Cabinet sent someone to look at the seedlings in the fields? If there is a drought, is there a detailed report? What should we do?"
Zhu Qiyu was worried.
"Back to the emperor, my servant went to see the seedlings in the field. The farmers carried water from the river and irrigated the fields. But how can manpower compare with the power of heaven? Just carrying water is almost useless." Wynn said seriously. road.
"Have you gone out of the palace to see it?" Zhu Qiyu looked at him in surprise.
"Back to the Emperor, I am from a poor family and know how it feels to be hungry. Recently, the Emperor has been talking about it every day, and I am also interested in it, so I went to the field to have a look." Wynn knelt on the ground and reported.
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "You have the people in your heart. The people's lives are hard. They dig in the soil day and night for food, but they may not be able to fill their stomachs."
"There is another severe drought this year and the harvest has dropped sharply. If the people in the capital are so poor, let alone the people all over the world."
"There is a severe drought, and we are afraid of locust plagues."
"How will the people live in autumn? How will the food in Beijing be supplied?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "From what Li Nai said, life in Shaanxi is not easy. I used to think of using food from Shaanxi to supply Hetao, but now I see that it is no longer possible."
"Li Nai is also a capable minister. He asked me for money. He was afraid that his life would be too hard, so he opened his mouth."
"Give him fifty thousand taels to build water conservancy projects."
Zhu Qiyu gritted his teeth and tried to save some money in the palace. He could not let the people of Shaanxi starve.
"Huaien, bring me my ink pen and I will personally approve it."
Huai En's eyes lit up. Only the eunuch Feng Xiao had done this job of mentioning Zhu Bi. The emperor intended to promote him.
Leaning on the desk, Zhu Qiyu crossed out the approval from the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
He started writing directly, advising Li Nai to beware of the locust plague and to prevent it. The Chief Secretary and officials at all levels should personally go to the people to visit the actual situation of the drought and provide disaster relief as appropriate.
Zhu Qiyu repeatedly warned that we must take precautions before they happen.
I wrote a lot of words eloquently.
"Urgent, send it to Shaanxi." Zhu Qiyu handed the memorial to Huaien.
He was worried about local officials.
Dongchang is in Shanxi, and Shaanxi is beyond reach.
"Go and summon Lu Gao and Zou Chang!" Zhu Qiyu wanted to see if Lu Gao went to Tiqi, what new changes had happened in Tiqi?
Lu Zhongren is still in Shandong and has not come back yet.
He put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and finally let out a sigh.
"Bring Geng Yuxuan in."
Geng Yu, who was outside the door, entered the hall and knelt down.
"Let's get down to business first."
Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up: "Geng Yu, I am afraid there will be a drought this year. The chief envoy of Shaanxi sent a memorial requesting the central government to allocate funds for the construction of water conservancy projects. I agreed."
"What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Geng Yu.
Geng Yu came to Fengtian Palace for the first time.
He has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. When he was a child, his father Geng Jiuchou took him to visit more than a dozen famous teachers, but no famous teacher was willing to accept him.
The reason was that he was too talented and the teacher thought that his talents and learning were not enough to carve this beautiful jade.
Later, when he was studying, he often had opinions that were different from others, which were often inspiring and insightful. In the fifth year of Jingtai's reign, he obtained the title of Jinshi and now serves in the Ministry of Industry.
"Wei Chen is in the Ministry of Industry and often travels to and from the city, so he knows very well about the disaster."
Geng Yu knew very well that if he answered correctly this time, it would very likely change his destiny. He considered the words and said with emotion:
"Weichen believes that the drought is not terrible. Farmers can carry water for irrigation and at most the grain production will be reduced."
"The most terrifying thing is the locust plague!"
"After a severe drought, there will be a locust plague!"
"Wei Chen thinks that we should start taking precautions now."
"The locust plague has not yet come, but the eggs may have developed. Weichen believes that farmers should start to eliminate the eggs."
"Plowing methods, plant ash methods, fumigation methods, etc. can be used. I will not give examples one by one."
"Then we raise chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in the fields. The poultry can eat insect eggs and grow up. When they grow up, they can keep them for themselves and eat them, or they can sell them for money, killing two birds with one stone."
Geng Yu has obviously done his homework.
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Well, Geng Yu, I know that both your father and son are great talents, so I will compile a "Locust Disaster Prevention and Control Book" between you and your son. , so that people can take precautions in advance.”
Geng Yu's eyes lit up, this is a good thing that will last forever!
"After compiling this book, you and your son will compile another "Simple Book of Famine Relief", print it out, and distribute it throughout the world!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "Let the common people know what disasters are and how to prevent and treat them."
"I obey the order!" Geng Yu looked excited.
"Geng Yu, when compiling books, don't use dry words. People have not read the book and cannot understand your elegant words. You should use simple drawings to tell the people how to prevent and control locust plagues!" Zhu Qiyu said again.
"ah?"
Geng Yu was confused: "Simple drawing?"
"That's right, you and your son both have wonderful drawings. They draw the methods of disaster relief, and mark them with easy-to-understand words next to them, so that people who can't read can understand them after just one look."
Zhu Qiyu took a pen and paper and drew a random picture to give an example.
Geng Yu's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, if you use this method, people who can't read can learn it."
"Yes, the text should be written in vernacular so that the people can understand it." Zhu Qiyu said.
Geng Yu, however, kowtowed respectfully: "Your Majesty's love for the people is deeply appreciated by me. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely compile the "Locust Disaster Prevention and Control Book" and live up to your Majesty's expectations."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "How many palace daughters have you chosen?"
Geng Yu was stunned.
"Hahaha, don't be embarrassed, those palace daughters are lucky enough to be able to marry into your mansion."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Although these palace daughters have left the palace, they cannot be arrogant. You can train them how you want."
"Geng Yu, your father is old and there is no caring person around him. You should always pay attention to his health."
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Geng Yu shed tears of emotion.
"Go ahead."
Zhu Qiyu sat on the chair again, exhaled a sigh of relief, and continued to review the memorial.
After watching for a long time, Lu Gao and Zou Chang went into the hall to pay their respects.
"How is the development of Tiqi?" Zhu Qiyu asked without raising his head.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, not counting the Tiqi taken away by Commander Lu, the number of Tiqi in the capital now exceeds a thousand."
Zou Chang knelt on the ground and replied respectfully: "This is all the work of Deputy Commander Lu."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Lu Gao, and he was indeed a capable man.
"It's developing quite quickly."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Lu Zhong hasn't come back yet?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Commander Lu is on his way back." Lu Gao reported.
Zhu Qiyu asked casually, Lu Zhong reported every day, and Zhu Qiyu knew where he was.
"Zou Chang, I plan to send you out of the capital."
Zhu Qiyu is very satisfied with the development of Tiqi, but now the definition of Tiqi is becoming increasingly vague.
In the past, he wanted to use the Tiqi to keep an eye on the factory guards, and the Tiqi to patrol the sky on behalf of the sky, help him spread the imperial edict, look at the place, and supervise the factory guards.
But Lu Zhong developed too slowly, and Tiqi was completely left behind by the factory guards.
Now the factory guard's territory of power has extended to the whole country.
How does Tiqi supervise?
Why should the factory guards be supervised by you, Lu Zhong?
Lu Zhong had no authority and no great ability. He could not get far just by relying on the emperor's favor, and the factory guards did not obey him.
"Zou Chang."
"Severe drought in Shaanxi, call for help."
"I plan to allocate 50,000 taels of silver from the central government to Shaanxi to build water conservancy projects."
"Zou Chang, I plan to send Tiqi, you lead the team!"
Zhu Qiyu is going to test Zou Chang's ability to see if he is Lu Zhong or Lu Gao.
"We will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Zou Chang knelt and kowtowed.
"I'm going to Shaanxi now. I'll tell you two things."
"First, look at the drought situation in Shaanxi and report it truthfully!"
"Secondly, after this money is allocated, I will keep an eye on you and spend it on water conservancy construction. Come with more ideas."
Zhu Qiyu said.
"I obey the decree!" Zou Chang bowed.
"Someone is greedy for ink. Don't worry. Send me a secret report and I will deal with it myself."
Zhu Qiyu did not give Tiqi power.
Tiqi can be responsible for supervision, but he must not be used as an imperial envoy.
After he took back the imperial power, he became more and more observant of etiquette, because this etiquette protected his imperial power.
Moreover, the top priority now is disaster relief, not corruption investigations.
If power is delegated to Zou Chang, Zou Chang will definitely try his best to arrest people in order to please himself and delay the local disaster.
"Lu Gao stayed in the capital and continued to recruit Tiqi."
Zhu Qiyu gave them a few more instructions and then let them go out.
Lu Gao was worried.
Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, he was indeed dissatisfied with Tiqi. If the emperor was dissatisfied again, Tiqi might be disbanded.
The value of the Tiqi must be shown.
After leaving the palace, he invited Zou Chang to have a chat in the restaurant and have a heart-to-heart talk.
And their conversations were sent to the palace by the factory guards.
The funny thing is that Zhu Qiyu wanted Tiqi to supervise the factory guards, but the result was good. Tiqi's every move was under the eyes of the factory guards.
"It was a mistake to let Lu Zhong be the commander of the Tiqi."
Zhu Qiyu became increasingly dissatisfied with Lu Zhong.
I went to Shandong, but I didn't find out the reason. What was reported in the report was completely different from the real situation. It would be better not to go and waste money and food.
"Just idle when you come back."
Zhu Qiyu is too lazy to train him. Such useless people will only hold him back.
There are few memorials today, and the sun has set, so I have basically finished reading them.
He stretched his waist and said, "Let's go to the harem for a walk."
He didn't sit in the royal chariot, but strolled along the corridors of the palace.
He was thinking, how to deify himself?
Entered Chengqian Palace.
Concubine Tang came out and knelt to greet her.
"Get up."
Zhu Qiyu entered the main hall: "It's not cool in your room. Where is Gu'an?"
Princess Gu'an was adopted by Tang Guifei and naturally lived in Chengqian Palace.
"She's in the side hall. I'll call my concubine right now." Concubine Tang's eyes were filled with surprise. Why did Your Majesty think of Princess Gu'an?
Could it be that Gu'an went behind her back and complained to His Majesty?
She believed that she had not abused the princess in the slightest, so why did your majesty suddenly summon the princess?
At this time, Princess Gu'an entered the palace and knelt down respectfully: "My daughter, may I ask for your Majesty's greetings?"
"I'm fine, get up."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Gu'an, and before he knew it, his daughter had grown up.
Gu'an stood aside.
Zhu Qiyu pointed to the chair next to him: "Come and sit."
Gu'an came over cautiously.
"Have you visited the imperial grandmother recently?" Zhu Qiyu asked her.
"Replying to my father, my daughter is determined at dawn and dusk, and the sun never sets." Gu'an knelt down to report.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and asked her to stand and answer.
"Well, it is appropriate to go to the imperial grandmother and fulfill your filial piety."
"I am unfilial and cannot be happy at my mother's knees."
"You are my daughter, and it is natural for you to fulfill your filial piety on my behalf." Zhu Qiyu said in a weak tone.
"Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is busy with everything, yet you still go to greet me all the time. How can you be unfilial?"
Tang Guifei heard the emperor's displeasure and immediately said: "I go to Xian'an Palace to serve you every day. Everything is fine in Xian'an Palace. How can I be unfilial? Your Majesty must not talk nonsense!"
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Gu'an.
Gu'an lowered his head and his body trembled involuntarily.
Chengqian Hall fell into inexplicable silence.
The palace servants who served him did not dare to take a breath, they were very frightened.
Concubine Tang did not dare to speak. Although she was sitting, it was not as comfortable as kneeling.
Plop!
Gu'an couldn't stand the emperor's pressure and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "My daughter knows her mistake, please forgive me!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at her for a long time and then said, "What do you call me?"
"Your Majesty...Father, Father." Gu'an answered tremblingly.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
Gu'an shed tears: "My daughter should not go to see the emperor's grandmother, let alone gossip in front of the emperor's grandmother. My daughter knows her mistake!"
She was horrified.
Never would I have imagined that the harsh words spoken in Xian'an Palace would actually reach the emperor's ears!
"Go and honor your grandmother, what's wrong with that?"
Zhu Qiyu spoke slowly: "But you only have one mother. If you recognize Mrs. Wang as your mother, you are a family member of a sinner. You should not enjoy wealth and honor in the palace. You should go to Fengyang's ancestral grave and become a sister-in-law."
"My daughter knows my mistake! My daughter knows my mistake!" Gu'an kept kowtowing.
"Your sister's death is inseparable from the Wang family."
"It's natural for me to punish her."
"Go to hell. That's because she doesn't care about her mother-daughter relationship with you. It's her sin."
"You shouldn't bother the Imperial Grandmother with this matter."
"The imperial grandmother is too old to bear your nagging."
"If you miss Mrs. Wang, you can go with her and just pretend that I don't have you as a daughter."
Zhu Qiyu's tone was sinister.
He is tired enough of fighting with the officials every day.
The reason for delaying the recruitment of the harem was to stabilize the harem and allow him to focus all his energy on the former dynasty, do more for the people, straighten out the country, and then recruit beautiful women into the harem to extend his heirs.
However, his biological daughter was causing trouble in the harem.
Justice for her criminal mother?
The palace is in an uproar, and the scandal of the Tian family has spread outside the palace. Where can I put my face?
The Wang family's affairs are inextricably linked to King Mobei. It was originally a critical moment for the world's vassal kings to enter the capital. There must be no chaos in the former dynasty, let alone a fire in the harem.
King Mobei must not make any mistakes.
Once King Mobei dies, or there is a slight hint of rumors of dealing with King Mobei in the palace, the world will inevitably become uneasy, the vassal kings will rebel one after another, and the river will overturn in an instant!
Isn't it child's play to pull a hair and move the whole body?
She is just a sinful woman, she will die when she dies. Could it be that because of her, the country is gone?
After hearing the emperor's serious words, Concubine Tang quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Gu'an is young and ignorant and has done something wrong. Please forgive her and give her a chance to correct herself, Your Majesty!"
Gu'an was also dumbfounded.
Father actually let her die?
The queen mother often said that her father didn't have them in his heart. She didn't believe it before, but now she realizes that the queen mother is right.
The father only has himself in his heart!
Without even looking at the imperial grandmother, could he be put under house arrest?
"Gu'an, kowtow quickly and admit your mistake to your father! Come on!" Tang Guifei walked over on her knees and kowtowed to Gu'an's head.
"Your Majesty, my son, I know I was wrong!" Gu'an was shaking all over. He changed his name again, and the father and daughter became estranged again.
She was raised by her mother and was not close to her father. After her mother was deposed, she had experienced the warmth and coldness of the world and did not dare to show off her temper.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Qiyu asked her slowly.
Fortunately, Gu'an didn't act petty and was quite well-behaved, giving her, her father, a step down.
Tang Guifei reminded Gu'an.
"you shut up."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Tang Guifei, who quickly lay down on the ground and did not dare to move.
"Son, my son..."
Gu'an couldn't tell. She didn't know where she was wrong?
Seeing that she really couldn't explain, Zhu Qiyu slowly said, "Gu'an, I'll teach you a lesson."
"In this harem, the most important thing is to be careful in what you say and do."
"You clearly know that Mrs. Wang is a sinful woman and you shouldn't mention it."
"But you relied on the imperial grandmother's favor, so you begged the imperial grandmother to clear your mother's name."
"do you know?"
"These words will be spread from the palace to the court. If the Wang family is not guilty, why was she deposed? Have you ever thought about how I would face the people of the world without being deposed?"
"Without me protecting you from wind and rain, what kind of princess are you?"
"And your royal grandmother is so troubled and worried about this matter that she becomes ill."
"You are not young anymore."
"Those who have endured hardship since childhood should know how to consider others."
"You are a princess, and enjoying the days of being well-dressed, well-dressed, and admired by all the people, you should be more mature and think better than others."
"Think about everything before you do it, and don't show off. That's what you, a princess, should do."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Do you understand?"
"Thank you for your teaching, Your Majesty. I understand." Gu'an kowtowed respectfully.
"Concubine, get up."
Zhu Qiyu looked at her: "Find a master tomorrow to give lessons to the princess. How can you practice etiquette when you are so old and don't study? If you get married in the future, won't people laugh at the daughter of the Tian family?"
"I obey the decree!" Tang Guifei was frightened.
She thought that the emperor would really deal with Princess Gu'an!
Before she had a son, the only one she had close to her was Princess Gu'an!
She worked hard to snatch Gu'an from Wang's hands, but she couldn't lose it.
Gu'an didn't dare to move.
The emperor's power was too great.
"As a parent, if you indulge yourself blindly, you will only harm your children."
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "This child must be disciplined well before he can become a talented person."
"I know I was wrong!" Tang Guifei knelt down again.
Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand, and Concubine Tang stood up, grabbed the emperor's hand, and sat next to the emperor, but she felt like sitting on pins and needles.
"Get up, Gu'an."
Zhu Qiyu looked at her: "Father, this is for your own good. When you grow up, you will understand that people's hearts are sinister. If you marry to the Earl's Mansion in the future, you can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in the backyard and not be snatched away by the woman next to you. Take your husband’s love.”
Gu'an is half-informed.
"Your Majesty still allows the concubine to have concubines?" Tang Guifei was surprised. With your Majesty's temperament, he will definitely stop this trend.
"Does it mean that if he doesn't take concubines, he will love his legitimate wife?"
Zhu Qiyu asked her: "I can control people but not my heart. I will eventually grow old. How can I take care of her until she grows old?"
"It's better to let her develop her skills and know how to control people. That will be the solution to long-term peace and stability."
Tang Guifei understood and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is indeed far-sighted."
"Parents love their children not because they are pampering, but because they have profound plans."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Gu'an: "When you grow up and become a parent, you will understand my painstaking efforts. Go ahead and get ready. Classes will start tomorrow. Only by studying can you learn etiquette."
"My son, please retire!" Gu An was resentful and couldn't listen to this.
Zhu Qiyu looked at her back: "When you suffer and suffer in the future, you should remember what I said today."
"How can a daughter of the Tian family suffer?" Tang Guifei was surprised.
"Hmph, this is just a lie to fools. Is the daughter of the Tian family not a woman? Doesn't she need her husband's love?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "People's hearts are fickle, and the seven-year itch, even though I'm rich all over the world, can't change people's hearts."
"What's more, the love between husband and wife is in the heart and feelings; whether a person is happy or not does not depend on the level of power."
"The melons that are forced are not sweet."
"I can kill people, but I can't change people's hearts."
Concubine Tang seemed to understand but her eyes were filled with worry. What would she do if her child was mistreated by her husband's family?
"Oh, this kid, it's better to be more angry."
“Only when you are angry and frustrated can you know who is true and who is false.”
"In this world, the most painful thing is being fooled by people who cannot see through people's hearts."
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Forget it, leave her alone. She has said some things tens of thousands of times, and she won't be able to live a good life."
"Only those who have experienced it personally will understand. Let her experience it slowly."
"The only person in the world who will not harm her is my father, but she doesn't know it."
I don’t know how to pick up the concubine?
When Tang Guifei married into the palace, she was favored by the Sixth Palace. Later, she lost favor because Li Xier entered the palace, but now she has regained favor, so she doesn't understand it deeply.
Gu'an doesn't have Tang Guifei's beauty, mind, and skill.
She is like a blank piece of paper, stupid and sweet, and she will suffer wherever she goes.
"Take a rest, I'm tired."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Feng Xiao: "Go, take my pen to Xian'an Palace and give it to the Queen Mother."
Tang Guifei's fingers trembled slightly, the emperor was telling the Queen Mother to shut up.
Wang's words are not allowed to be passed on again.
It seems that Gu'an cannot be allowed to disturb the emperor's grandmother tomorrow.
The emperor was not happy.
A night of silence.
The next day, Zhu Qiyu got up early to exercise, listening to the eunuch reading the article.
Go to court in an imperial chariot.
Let’s discuss drought, prevention and control first.
"My lords, food is the most important thing. We must not make any mistakes."
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "I asked the eunuch to read books about eradicating the locust plague this morning. I thought of a way to plant more trees."
"I discovered that areas prone to locust plagues lack vegetation."
"I was wondering if I could plant more trees to reduce the number of locust plagues?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, a variety of trees can indeed effectively prevent locust plagues."
Geng Jiuchou left work and said: "However, planting too many trees will affect the growth of food because the roots of the trees are intertwined."
"That said, trees take over farmland."
"There are many people coming to my court but little land. When the court is stable, the people are eager to cultivate every inch of land to provide food and cultivate it intensively."
"If we plant trees, people may go hungry."
Geng Jiuchou's words caused the courtiers to nod.
"Your Majesty has ordered the court to plant more trees in the capital. I think it is enough and we cannot delay food because of trees." Song Yan said.
All the officials agreed.
Moreover, planting trees also requires an expenditure, which must be paid by the court.
They will have to be maintained in the future, as the trees are also subject to diseases and insect pests, and they have to be prevented from being cut down by the common people. The cost of maintenance is very high.
"Your concerns are justified."
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "But locust plagues must be prevented."
"Your Majesty, locusts hate cotton. Now that there is no shortage of food in Gyeonggi, Your Majesty can take the opportunity to promote cotton cultivation."
Before Cheng Xin finished speaking, Bai Gui shouted: "Absolutely not! Can cotton be eaten? If there is a problem with water transportation, the capital will be in turmoil because there is no food!"
"Even if Gyeonggi cannot be self-sufficient in food, it must maintain basic food supply! There must be no unrest!"
Bai Gui's words aroused the agreement of Xiang Zhong, Ma Jin and others.
"Okay, stop arguing."
Zhu Qiyu said: "You don't have to plant poplars or willows to plant trees. You can also plant fruit trees. I just like to eat fruits. I like to eat all kinds of fruits."
"Let the people plant some fruit trees in the fields and wait for the fruits to mature. They can be sold in the market and increase the people's income."
These words aroused the approval of all officials.
"Your Majesty, planting fruit trees will do more good than harm to the people, and if it can increase income, the people will definitely take good care of it. This is good governance." Liu Guangheng said.
"Yes, planting fruit trees can increase income, which is a good thing."
Hu Xi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you have expanded the market. Why don't you allocate a place to the farmers in the capital and let them come to the capital to sell? Well, we don't need to charge fees. What do you think?"
"Is the old lady waiting for me here?"
The stall fees in the market are all paid into the internal funds, and the household department is greedy.
"Now that the old lady has opened her mouth, she won't accept it!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Not only do I not charge for the sales, I also give each family five fruit trees, and I pay for them from my own pocket! No matter how many more, I can't afford them!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" the courtiers bowed.
"I hope that all people in the world will become rich."
Zhu Qiyu said sincerely: "As soon as there were signs of drought this year, I couldn't sleep at night. Food is the most important thing for the people. If the people have nothing to eat, they will be restless."
"How can the people pay taxes to the court if they don't have anything to eat?"
"So, gentlemen, please keep your eyes down, and don't always stare at the top!"
"This world cannot be governed by me alone."
"You and I need to work together!"
The hearts of the ministers jumped.
There is something in the emperor's words.
They are not allowed to look up. Do you mean they are not allowed to pry into the secrets of the Tian family?
The children sent into the palace were not obedient. They always passed on some information, so that even though they were outside the palace, they knew what was going on in the palace. As a result, the Tian family had no secrets at all.
The emperor is ordering them.
Waiting for the palace daughter to enter their home.
Then you can hurt each other!
You see the liveliness of the heavenly family, and I will let the world see the liveliness of your home!
The emperor is cruel!
"I obey the order!" All the officials had ulterior motives and kowtowed respectfully.
"My lords, I had a dream last night."
Zhu Qiyu said faintly: "I dreamed of a crop that looks like sugar cane. It is green all over and bears golden stick-shaped fruits. This one is so long and orange-yellow. It looks good when you look at it. I can't describe it. Appropriate, drawn.”
He held up a piece of paper and asked someone to pass it around.
"In my dream, this kind of crop can produce tens of thousands of jin per mu and can be grown in cold areas..."
The emperor didn't finish his words.
The entire Fengtian Temple exploded.
"Tens of thousands of kilograms of crops? It's indeed a dream. If this were reality, wouldn't we never run out of food?"
"Who has seen this thing?"
"Isn't it just your Majesty's imagination?"
The ministers whispered.
Zhu Qiyu didn't say a word, and waited until they finished talking before continuing: "The Liaodong in my dream is full of this kind of fruit, which can feed hundreds of millions of people!"
hiss!
Fengtian Temple exploded again.
"It's definitely a dream. How many people did the Ming Dynasty have? Hundreds of millions of people? Just Liaodong?"
"With so many people living in Liaodong, how many freeze to death every day!"
"Your Majesty's dream is really unreliable."
The ministers talked a lot.
But Hu Hui looked at the emperor with deep meaning.
Where is the emperor playing?
He had heard that Pingjiang Bo Chen Yujin presented a June persimmon plant, and the emperor said that the bright fruits were edible.
Could it be that the emperor got a new plant and was giving it a mysterious cloak?
etc!
He is deifying himself!
Waiting for this kind of crop to come out, not to mention that the yield per mu is tens of thousands of catties, just saying that it can be grown in Liaodong is enough to make people believe that the emperor will be helped by God!
Why did the emperor suddenly deify himself?
What outrageous thing is he going to do?
Hu Xi began to tremble.
"After I woke up, I felt that this was just a sweet dream."
"I'm thinking about food, I'm going crazy."
"However, I always feel that dreams and reality are inextricably linked."
"Let's just talk about this kind of crop. If it really exists, not to mention the yield per mu is tens of thousands of catties. As long as it can be grown in Liaodong, it can be eaten after it is grown!"
"Then I'll be satisfied!"
"I hope that this dream is a guide from an immortal, not just a fantasy."
Zhu Qiyu sighed.
"May your Majesty's dream come true." The ministers kowtowed.
In fact, I don’t believe it in my heart. Where did this kind of crop come from?
However, Geng Jiuchou and others, who were familiar with the emperor's tactics, had vaguely guessed that the emperor was going to deify himself.
Eighty percent of this crop has been found by the emperor.
But how did the emperor know that this thing could be grown in cold areas? The yield per mu is tens of thousands of kilograms. Is it just a figment of imagination?
What's the purpose?
Who is he going to kill?
Geng Jiuchou and Bai Gui looked at each other and gave the answer in each other's eyes, Lord of the vassal!
The emperor wants to kill the feudal king, so he must deify himself first!
The emperor cleansed himself by shaping himself into a god and killing the feudal king according to the god's will.
The vassal king in Jingtai Dynasty was really unlucky.
I heard that Zhu Zuojing was divorced and was in the clan's mansion thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors.
"That's all, it's just a dream. I just said it casually. You don't need to pay attention to it."
Zhu Qiyu changed the topic: "Now that the vassal kings are setting off to Beijing one after another, it is time for Beijing to take care of things."
"Honglu Temple, Taichang Temple, and Zongren Mansion will be left to you."
"How much money has been used, I don't have to save money for me. Relatives have been easy to help.
After that, the emperor was poor again!
Who should suffer this time?
"I announced the merchants in Beijing. They were waiting in Xihuamen. When I finished the dynasty, Zhu Qing accompanied me to go. I planned to interact with the businessmen and support them."
Understand, this time it was the Beijing -Chinese businessmen who suffered this time.
No wonder you let us cut us with them yesterday.
This is so lively.
