Chapter 964: Heading South
The emperor and the ministers discussed the war in the south, and the imperial concubines were not idle, at this time a group of people gathered together, led by the jade god, were auditing the accounts, the profits generated by the dragon festival and the exhibition, in the shortest possible time, there was already a breakdown, and the celestial numbers made every concubine who saw it frightened.
Those who can come here are all favored by the emperor, such as the jade god and Sifu, such as the youngest dozen draft concubines, they are physically and mentally connected to the emperor, of course they will not betray, so these core affairs of the harem are somewhat involved, proving their existence in the harem.
There are also some people, such as Mrs. Qianqian, Princess Xuexi, Xiangxiang and others, by the way, there are also new participants in the Hundred Flowers Palace, which is allowed by Liu Qingshan, so that the daughters of the Hundred Flowers Palace also join the government affairs handling department, from the former Hundred Flowers Palace Lord Yu Yan to the Young Palace Lord Hua Yan, they all have experience in this area.
The empire grows stronger, and it is possible to annex small countries in the future, so there are more and more government affairs, Liu Qingshan divides government affairs into categories, and each group deals with one category, so that everyone is more relaxed.
As for those who exceed their power, they will generally be assembled, conduct a final review, and then sent to Liu Qingshan, the emperor, which is also Liu Qingshan's way of being lazy, in fact, really, Liu Qingshan, as the emperor, his ability to deal with political affairs is much worse than that of other women.
So he didn't have a layman to guide an insider, and he didn't recognize that kind of brain-dead when he was wrong, which was also the source of power for the empire to develop smoothly and move forward day by day.
"Sister Yushen, have you calculated the final number, how much is it?" Seeing that Yushen breathed a sigh of relief, put down the pen in his hand, and all the women around held their breath one by one, as if they did not make a sound, and listened quietly to the profits obtained from today's fair.
You know, now the three palace streets, has become the most prosperous place in the entire empire, this is the property belonging to the royal family of the Dragon Empire, each façade, is worth a thousand gold, and it is not allowed to buy and sell, can only be rented, compared with last year's price, this year's rent has doubled.
Gongjie shop, every year of rent, the rent is in place first, and then move in.
Now, hundreds of shops have all been rented out, and there is no one left, and the competition is quite fierce, in the past, this matter was personally brought forward by Yushen, but now she has become Beigong Niangniang, and she is not suitable for going out to show her face again, let alone dealing with businessmen, so at this year's fair, she authorized Xiaoxiao to deal with it with full authority.
"The palace sales meeting lasted for seven days, and a total profit of more than 130 million gold coins, plus rent, 260 million, a total of more than 400 million. "After all, the jade god is also a little dazed, this amount has doubled compared to last year, and if this development continues, it will increase again next year.
They had seen the crowd for seven days, but no one thought that the empire would have such a strong purchasing power.
"So much?" Sifu took the account book and looked at it carefully, she didn't believe it either, you must know that the annual tax revenue of the entire empire of the Divine Dragon Emperor is only five billion gold coins, and the income of their harem already accounts for one-tenth of the share, which will frighten many people.
"Wow, so much money?" almost unanimously called out all the women, many of them came from big families and belonged to wealthy families, but this amount in hundreds of millions was the first time I heard it.
Take Mermaid Island as an example, they have worked hard for a year, and if they can earn more than one million, they are already quite nourishing.
"Okay, the numbers have come out, let's discuss now how to arrange this money, half of which should be kept for the expenses in the palace, and the other half should be spent to increase the investment. ”
Immediately, all the women talked about it, and they all expressed their opinions, the emperor was enlightened, and the imperial concubine was also very enlightened, creating a harmonious and happy atmosphere in the imperial palace.
When the women were excited and talked about making money with money, the queen mother's palace also ushered in quite a lot of guests, these people are women, but their identity backgrounds are not small, either the wife of the minister of the court, or the wife of the head of the big family, just to reward the contributions of these people, so the queen mother Luohe concubine will be invited to take a bath with the grace of the royal family.
The arrival of these people, in addition to showing their faces in front of the queen mother and getting acquainted with the relationship, there are many people with the same purpose, that is, they want to seek a welfare for those relatives who have a relationship in the family, and send the young women they have selected into the palace.
To be able to catch the emperor from the Queen Mother is the glory of a lifetime.
This kind of good thing that is beneficial to her son, of course Luohe Divine Concubine will not refuse, although her son has cultivated into the body of a true god, but he is only a newcomer, and he still needs to continue to work hard to cultivate, so the absorption of the true breath of the heavenly maiden is also essential, and it is natural to add some fresh blood to the emperor's harem.
As a mother, she doesn't care about women competing for favor in the palace, it is her son who benefits, as long as a woman likes her son, the title of an imperial concubine is of course not a problem.
After the Dragon Festival, everything seemed to be instantly quiet, but many people found that the frequent movement of the imperial army seemed to indicate that a big war was coming, like the calm before the storm.
Until the sixteenth day of the first month, the front page of the Imperial Daily published the first imperial decree since the emperor's New Year, and for a while, the entire Dragon City was in an uproar, yes, the empire was ready to wave its army to the south to recover the lost territory, which is also the day that the people of Shenlong have been looking forward to, when the empire was first established, the alliance of major princes in the south rebelled, and did not obey the emperor's orders, accumulating a lot of public resentment.
In order to set foot in the south, the Shenlong Empire has been preparing for three years now.
In the military camp in the capital, a large-scale battle ceremony was held, and the oath of farewell was taken to boost morale.
Especially this time, the emperor personally led his troops south, which made all the emperors very excited.
For Liu Qingshan's decision, the women were not surprised, they understood their man's character, it was strange to be able to stay in this deep palace for a year and a half, waving the army to the south, such a lively thing, how could he stay out of the matter, even the queen mother learned about it, she just told him to be careful, and then stopped talking.
Anyway, the emperor often goes out, and everyone is used to it, in fact, in the heart of the Luohe Divine Concubine, there is no hope for this, just wait for the four girls to give birth to the dragon, and then train them carefully, don't be like Liu Qingshan's father, hang and hang, it's good if the emperor is not like the emperor.
After all, God wants to inherit the blood in the empire for 10,000 years, and the bloodline passed down from generation to generation is also very important, as far as Luohe Divine Concubine thinks, Liu Qingshan, the great emperor of this kid, is an alternative, but the mother and son have been separated for 20 years, and the son who has lost everything can come to this day, as a mother, Luohe Divine Concubine can't be too harsh.
Therefore, as long as the son likes it, it will follow him.
The reason why Liu Qingshan personally led the troops south this time was not only because he couldn't stay in the palace, but also because he wanted to find a chance to make a move.
As a former warrior, he knows very well that no matter how powerful his strength is, he needs to constantly volatilize and challenge in order to become stronger and stronger, and it is obvious that in the imperial palace, it is impossible for him to go all out against his own women.
So on this trip to the south, he had to go, looking at the two daughters around him who came to see him off as representatives, Liu Qingshan just felt a little guilty, these two women were Yushen and Yuyan.
Yu Yan has only been in the palace for so long, he is about to go out, and the Jade God is about to give birth, as a man, it really shouldn't be, but Liu Qingshan doesn't have time to wait, he needs to become stronger and deal with the evil demons who may break through the seal at any time.
"Husband, you have to go early and come back early, we will all miss you. Holding Liu Qingshan's hand, the jade god, who has always been strong, is a little sentimental at the moment, Liu Qingshan left before, quietly, there is no such thing as farewell, but maybe it is because of having a child, that mood has become different.
"Jade God, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't stay at home with you and wait for the child to be born. Liu Qingshan took the woman into his arms and hugged him comfortingly.
"Husband doesn't need to say such things, now for the empire, a little sacrifice is nothing, I won't blame you, I believe our children won't blame you, the rebellion in the south needs to be pacified as soon as possible, so that the strength of the whole country can be raised, advance to the north, unify the hot sun, for the future of the Shenlong Empire, these small grievances are really nothing. ”
Yu Yan also stepped forward, grabbed Liu Qingshan's hand, and said: "Husband, don't worry, there are so many sisters in the palace, they will take good care of the four sisters of the Jade God, maybe the next time my husband comes back, I will already have both children and daughters, but my husband is outside, but be careful, whether it is for us or for the children, we must return safely." ”
In fact, this time, Liu Qingshan did not go alone, in addition to the assistant Yan General and Giselle, there are also Sifu Hua Yan's two daughters, Hua Yan This is also Yu Yan's arrangement, it is a little selfish, and I also want to take advantage of this opportunity to let the two get along more and understand each other, and truly integrate together.
So the jade god did not object, and Hua Yan is also a rare master, it is more reassuring to have her by Liu Qingshan's side, in addition, the sixteen sword girls were also taken away and waited closely.
This battle can also be regarded as the glory of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
As a latecomer to the Imperial Palace, as long as the battle in the south goes smoothly this time, the Hundred Flowers Hall will be truly established in the Imperial Palace.
Although Yu Yan is now the mother of the West Palace, the lord of the first palace, she is a smart person, she knows how to seize the opportunity to make the emperor take a fancy to her, and only by becoming indispensable to the emperor's side will she be liked by the emperor.
After saying goodbye to the two daughters, Liu Qingshan led 20,000 closely protected Praetorian Guards and galloped towards the south.
The army going south had already been arranged, and Liu Qingshan was going to join them and start a big battle in the south.
