Ting Fang this time back. Pregnancy is much more uncomfortable than the last time. I was drowsy all the time and felt weaker and weaker. Seeing this, Xu Jingchang wanted to drive her out, and she fell asleep at home in the town day, and she had no strength when she gave birth, which was dangerous. Although being a kindergarten aunt is more tiring, every kindergarten child is surrounded by a group of eunuchs, as long as they are not injured, the progress is slow. Besides, Emperor Zhaoning was poured into her head to practice the truth of true knowledge, knowing that as a prince, if you want to turn to the emperor, you can't learn it in the academy. The first crown prince Li Mingzhao was personally taught by the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager Yan, and he was like him, who was wild and wild, and was being played by the courtiers.

Chen watched Tingfang drink the porridge, but he couldn't eat the dim sum anymore, and frowned and said, "I can only eat a little at a time, but how can I be good?" ”

Ting Fang said: "It's okay, I can't eat it horizontally and vertically." A princess and four princes, each with their own tastes, the imperial dining room tries its best to change tricks, and has everything. ”

Chen asked again: "I see that you can fall asleep while sitting these days." Don't go on horseback, it's dangerous. ”

Ting Fang nodded, not because she fell asleep, but because she had a big belly and it was inconvenient to ride a horse. It's really □□ at home, isn't it idle to take a nap?

The girls came over with their clothes, and Ting Fang said with a smile: "Since the mother came, the house has been much more refreshing." ”

"You two are busy outside, and you don't have a housekeeper at home, isn't it a mess?" Chen glanced at Ting Fang's official uniform and said, "Your clothes have to be new again." ”

Ting Fang looked at her stomach and said with a smile: "Yes, you can't make your official uniform bigger at will, otherwise it will look indecent if it is loose." ”

After changing into the official uniform of the Taifu, he was about to go out, when someone came to report: "County Lord, the King of Qi County led the little prince and said that he wanted to see you." ”

Ting Fang frowned, she had nothing to do with the King of Qi County, what did she do with a big grin? After all, it was Emperor Zhaoning's current thug, and Ting Fang was not good at seeing, so he said, "Lead it to the hall." ”

Tingfang lives in the main room, very close to the hall. It took three or two steps to go, and after waiting for a while, Li Xinghuai came with a radish head and Shi Shiran. When he entered the door, he bowed his hand first: "I've seen Taifu!" ”

Ting Fang hurriedly avoided it and returned a salute: "The sect is polite." ”

Li Xinghuai knew that Ting Fang was busy, and said straight to the point: "This time I came uninvited, but I really have something to ask for." ”

Ting Fang said: "Please command." ”

Li Xinghuai said: "Don't dare." Because His Majesty is going to test the clan knowledge and confer the title, I and other parents immediately have a suspense. It's just a matter of the side, and it's hard to find someone in this dynasty. I had to beg for it. I didn't dare to disturb the Taifu very much, so I asked the Taifu to take a look at the dog's homework book and give me some random pointers, and I was grateful. ”

Ting Fang glanced at Li Xinghuai appreciatively, and it was unusual to roll past the Emperor Taishang. It was her idea to take the clan exam to attack the lord, and what to do in the exam, she had to get it right, and Emperor Zhaoning took it and copied it as his own thoughts. Li Xinghuai sent his son to her, which was equivalent to getting the Huanggang secret scroll exclusively. As an unlucky guy who was taken out by Emperor Zhaoning as a gunman, his son Xijue was more unstable than others, so he naturally took a shortcut first. In terms of the degree of defense of the clan in this dynasty, the hope of the clan for a lifetime is only a knighthood.

However, Ting Fang did not have the time to be a tutor in the United States, and worked for Emperor Zhaoning, under the premise of no conflict of interest, Ting Fang naturally wanted to be kind to others, so he simply pointed out a clear way: "I won't tell you, I am entangled in trivial matters, and it is not good to delay the little prince." You go to □□ to find Miss Xia, her arithmetic is my enlightenment, and the second time is taught by His Majesty. Princess Qin is even more knowledgeable, and the eldest princess is deeply favored by His Majesty. It's much better than in front of me. ”

Li Xinghuai said: "I haven't dealt with her, I don't know if Taifu can recommend one or two?" ”

Ting Fang thought for a while and said, "Let's wait until I ask Princess Qin, if there is a letter, I will send someone to the mansion tomorrow, okay?" ”

Li Xinghuai waved again: "Thank you, Taifu!" ”

Ting Fang smiled: "The sect is too polite. ”

Li Xinghuai said again: "Taifu is preparing to enter the palace? ”

"Yes, let's take a look at Celestia's homework."

Li Xinghuai said very apologetically: "I'm sorry." ”

Ting Fang said: "It's okay, pity the hearts of parents all over the world." No matter how old my Xu Qing is, he will also send it to □□. ”

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries and went out together.

There are new rules for the knighthood, and the old-fashioned ones are still noisy in the Zongren Mansion, trying to reverse the decline. The clever ones have already thought of exploiting the loopholes. Li Xinghuai was the most clever one, and took the lead in finding Tingfang, and after her guidance, he turned □□. Ting Yao didn't want to see the former King Ping, but she couldn't hold back Li Xinghuai's posture was low enough, and she pleaded with her sister-in-law, thinking that this product would have to block the gun hole for Emperor Zhaoning in the Zongren Mansion, so she had to accept her nephew. Several clans in Beijing reacted when they boarded! One after another, they came to see each other. Rui Wang Jing Wang also joined in the fun, they were Ting Yao's uncle, and they were surrounded by a group, how could Ting Yao refuse? Twenty or thirty children were stuffed at once, and Ting Yao immediately reported it to Emperor Zhaoning.

Emperor Zhaoning laughed when he saw this: "I know that they are very smart to find Princess Qin!" ”

Zuo Zongzheng was also happy, everyone accepted the established facts, and he was relieved to take the exam actively.

Emperor Zhaoning smiled again: "There are many subjects to be examined, and don't do everything you can to Princess Qin." Besides, her body is not very good, don't make trouble, she is not restless. Since everyone is motivated, and she is in charge of the sect. Then invite Miss Xia to be an arithmetic teacher. The gentleman next to him is the same, just add another archery master. After speaking, he asked the eunuch again, "Is Miss Xia still a slave?" If so, you can get out. She is the mother of the four girls, and she will be good-looking if she wants to be a husband. ”

Eunuch Zhao said, "This ...... The minions went to inquire. ”

Zuo Zongzheng hated that he couldn't smash this matter, and hurriedly said: "Is Taifu in the palace?" Just ask the master to find out. ”

"Very much," Emperor Zhaoning instructed the eunuch, "look what the Taifu is doing?" When she had to be free, she asked her to talk back. ”

Zuo Zongzheng pinched his sweat, and Emperor Zhaoning was too polite to Taifu! Fortunately, I didn't tell the sub-clan that the bad trick of the exam was too fu. Seeing that King Qi is working so hard, he better shut up.

The emperor asked no time, that was to save face. If the courtiers really want to take politeness as the truth, they won't survive half an episode. Tingfang heard Emperor Zhaoning's summons, and left a group of bear children to come. There is a discussion inside, and according to the rules, the saints have to come first and come first. Before Ting Fang sat down, the eunuch hurriedly ran out and said, "Taifu, Your Majesty is asking Ren Langzhong about shipping, and instructed that if you come, go in first." ”

Tingfang had no choice but to follow the eunuch into the south study, face the saint, and kneel down. Standing up with his stomach up, Wei Pengyun only felt panicked, with such a big belly, it was not good to pretend to treat Mrs. Ye as a man!

Emperor Zhaoning said: "I just received a report from Songjiang that the Westerners brought a good fleet of cotton cloth, which came all the way, and the price was cheaper than Songjiang, and the Songjiang cotton cloth fell sharply, do you know about this?" ”

Ting Fang said: "Sooner or later, there will be this day. Cotton cloth is not as good as silk, planting mulberry and raising silkworms, stripping silk and peeling cocoons, everything is meticulous work, and foreigners can't get it. Cotton cloth is different, cotton is good not to mention, spinning machine, I heard that they are developing a shuttleless loom, it is even faster. Its yarn is one to the end, its cloth is precise and strong, the quality is excellent, and the cost is very low. The traditional hand-spinning, Hugh said called the impact of the outside, now in Jiangxi, there is no hand-spinning, only hand-weaving. ”

Emperor Zhaoning frowned and asked, "How is that good?" Foreign trade is our big head! ”

Ting Fang smiled bitterly: "What they want from us is nothing more than silk, porcelain, and tea." At most, grab Japanese lacquerware. Besides, North Korea has coal, so we can be second-hand dealers. We have to find a way to enhance our own advantages, otherwise not only cotton, but also steel, vegetable oil, dyes, soap, papermaking, and sugar will be able to occupy the Chinese market in an instant. ”

Wei Pengyun happened to be the cabinet minister who was mainly in charge of the household department, and said unhappily: "Is there any evidence for what Taifu said?" ”

Ting Fang said: "In the garment factory in Nanchang, a woman can make a cotton coat in one day. Does Wei Ge know how much silver money has been saved in the cotton clothes of the garrisons in the southern provinces? The cost of clothing, shoes and socks for the garrison in the world is about 5 million taels a year, and the nine sides account for more than half, and then distribute the profits to the provinces. Jiangxi accounts for about 100,000 taels. The clothes of the garrison in Jiangxi can be spun with Jenny machine first, and then made with sewing machines, during which the assembly line is used to cooperate with weaving and seeding. There are only more than 30,000 taels of troops in Jiangxi. The stalls in Nanchang were not spread, otherwise Hugh said that the cotton cloth of the foreigners caused the cotton cloth of Songjiang to plummet. As long as Nanchang let go of its hands and feet, several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River even monopolized cotton cloth and garments. Wei Ge didn't believe it, so he could go to Nanchang to take a look. ”

Emperor Zhaoning hurriedly asked, "Can you sell those to foreigners?" ”

Ting Fang shook his head: "It's not easy to sell, they have their own factory." If Your Majesty wants to prepare early, we must first ensure that the cost of our own things goes down. For example, the soybean oil used for lighting is changed to mechanical production. Secondly, to strengthen the advantages, such as silk, folding fans, firecrackers and other advantageous industries, it is necessary to optimize the production process, reduce costs and increase output. There is also steel, our steel is too brittle, but we can hire foreigners to do technical guidance with high salaries, and we have learned that we are not afraid of them. As for the shipping industry, this is really not as good as the foreigners, once the sea ban is lifted, the freight will be monopolized by foreign ships immediately, so we have to build big ships first. One is to ensure the dominance of freight, and the other is that foreigners' ships come from thousands of miles away, there are always dilapidated places that need to be repaired, and the wharf can provide services, which is also a good profit. Only those gold, silver, jewelry, spices, and cosmetics, which are not necessary for the people's livelihood, let them give them profits, and it will not hurt for them to earn some silver. Doing business pays attention to your coming and going, only we have a profit, they don't, they don't come. Tariffs are still a lot of money. ”

In the south study, it is rare to hear such a big business scripture, and the ministers are a little unaccustomed.

Ren Shaoying said with a smile: "Originally, in Nanchang, we all listened to the command of Taifu, no matter how good it was." ”

Emperor Zhaoning Zhengse said to Ting Fang: "The benefits of commerce are abundant, so the south of the Yangtze River is rich. Taifu, the world is like Jiangnan, is it feasible? ”

Ting Fang shook his head: "The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is suitable, and it is close to the sea, and the inland is incomparable. It's just that in the future, there is hope for inland areas compared to the current Jiangnan. Not to mention the hypothesis, which county in the Song Dynasty could not compare its annual income to the current Jiangnan? ”

Tang Yuze, the left waiter of the household department, said: "The Song Dynasty was too rich for the people, and the national strength was too weak, and it was not a long-term solution. ”

Ting Fang said: "Speaking of this, I shouldn't have taken care of it. Since it is mentioned that the national strength is mentioned, I will say it in passing. Foreign guns and foreign cannons are much stronger than ours, and we can't rely on anyone else here, so we have to rely on our own research and development. Otherwise, let people choke their throats, and they will not be far from the country of destruction. But R&D has to ask for money, relying on farmers to farm, and planting will not save this penny in the next life. The words of the imperial court's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business have all been changed. ”

In the center, there are only a few people who really don't understand the truth, and many times they don't understand the reason, they just stand in line and fight, and they never do things right. Tang Yuze and Ting Fang were not the same thing, so he said: "How treacherous the merchants are, how can the court get used to them?" If you don't see what you want, so that the people's hearts are not confused, hasn't Taifu read it? ”

Ting Fang said angrily: "Have you ever read?" If you are not virtuous, you will not fight, you will wait for the virtuous talents, and go to farm at home, why bother to lead the common people's mood to ripple! ”

Tang Yuze said angrily: "Isn't Shangxian the same solution as Taifu?" ”

Ting Fang said: "Er Fei Laozi, how do you know that I don't understand it right?" ”

Tang Yuze choked, and if he continued to argue, he would fall into the dispute between Zifei and Feiyu, and he didn't have to work today.

How do you know that Tingfang took advantage of the victory to pursue: "I rebuilt Jiangxi, settled the displaced people, built water conservancy, and trained soldiers to serve the king." Last year, the annual income of Jiangxi Province alone was more than 3 million taels, equivalent to one-fifth of the imperial court's annual income. Can you? No, don't tell me you've read a few books. I am waiting for the court officials, and what we have to do is to respect the king and Li Shu. It is the imperial examination, the big head is also a strategy, and the topic selection is all in the Four Books and Five Classics, who loves to read more with you than to read! Your Majesty has not memorized all the four books! ”

Emperor Zhaoning: "...... "Hey! You quarrel and quarrel, please don't drag him into the water!

Tang Yuze: "...... "Damn, you dare to take the emperor as an example, you are so favored!" It's amazing!

"You don't see the treacherous merchants, all those who build bridges and pave roads?" Saying that, Ting Fang showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled treacherously, "There have been many peasant uprisings since ancient times, and I haven't seen merchants rebel, right?" ”

Wei Pengyun coughed lightly: "Let's get down to business!" "It's okay to have any arguments with Taifu, she is the emperor's master, she can take Emperor Zhaoning as a raft casually, do others dare? Otherwise, why would everyone be envious, jealous and hateful to her! Taifu Sangong! Transcendent status!

Sure enough, the descendants of the Taifu family moved, Ren Shaoying had dealt with Emperor Zhaoning in his early years, and he was busy giving Emperor Zhaoning a few looks, and pointed at Tingfang's stomach. Emperor Zhaoning reacted violently, ah! Right! The three princes replied in front of the emperor, and there was a seat. Hurriedly asked the eunuch to move a stool and asked Tingfang to sit down.

Wei Pengyun's teeth are sour, look! Look! Nima knew that she wouldn't stop her from going to Qintianjian, this time he would stop a Taifu and want to die!

Ting Fang sat down and took in the expressions of several Wenchen, cool!

Emperor Zhaoning cleared his throat and turned Lou Zheng back and said: "The matter mentioned by Taifu Fang involves many industries, and Ren Langzhong writes a note one by one." The day before yesterday, Taifu told me about customs and tariffs, which is also an important matter, you borrow an old official from the household department, and the total is total. The previous passes weren't very good. "The broken sea in the hands of the emperor before is now like a dog gnawing, and he doesn't want to rob it, all of them are dead, and they have fattened the places along the coast. At this moment, if the court wants to take it back, it is trouble again! Xu Jingchang is not available, and Tingfang is not very good, so he can only make Ren Shaoying.

Tang Yu Zepi said with a smile: "Taifu is talented, and the household department does not dare to compare." ”

Ting Fang said coldly: "I'll do everything, and the head of the household will also ask me to be a good one!" ”

Emperor Zhaoning couldn't hold back and didn't laugh out loud, where did Tang Yuze get this goods, good two!

Wei Pengyun's heart moved, and asked, "It turns out that Taifu has already mentioned the matter of customs?" ”

Ting Fang knew that the Manchu Dynasty was guessing what Emperor Zhaoning had done in Dingguo's mansion three times and five times, so he simply missed a little bit and said: "The customs talk less, and the governor of Xu understands better." My main purpose is to report to His Majesty on how Nanchang will be relieved and rebuilt. How to cooperate with Shinong industry and commerce. ”

Wei Pengyun squinted, why did he have to wave away his living notes for such a thing? It is Emperor Zhaoning who inquired about state affairs, and it can also be recorded.

Ting Fang's smile is unfathomable, guess it! Hengzhi She and Emperor Zhaoning were talking on the side of the kang table, one left and one right, and they didn't even have an eyebrow to flirt, so they didn't talk nonsense. Emperor Zhaoning would rather guess his Fengyue, and the provincial people knew that he went to the Dingguo Mansion to go to school, and what he learned was the secret means of governing the country.

How easy is it to rebuild shipping? With just an intentional beginning, time has passed. Ting Fang sat with a sore back and couldn't squeak well. She is less involved in shipping, so it is inconvenient to say more, and she follows Wei Pengyun and Tang Yuze as Ren Shaoying's foils. At the beginning of the unitary period, a rough framework was discussed, and Shao Ying was ordered to refine it, and then withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

Before Tang Yuze could leave, Yuan Shoufu asked to see him. Emperor Zhaoning first announced Yuan Shoufu, raised his hand to signal him to speak more slowly, and asked Ting Fang: "I want to invite Miss Xia to teach arithmetic in the sect, what do you think?" ”

Ting Fang knew what Emperor Zhaoning had called her to do, Ye Junwen had a total of two concubines, Xia Boguang couldn't mix with the good at all, and the unlucky child was slept for a few years and still stayed in the slave state. followed Ting Yao again, she died and the man refused to remarry, and she had no father and brother, so she could only settle down in a female household, which was even more troublesome. It's just a mix. At this moment, if you want to be a prince, you can't be a slave and maid. Then he said: "Miss Xia has never given birth, and her fate is at most calculated from her husband." The side room is lowered to the third class, and Your Majesty will look at it. ”

Ye Junwen was robbed of his official position when he was exiled! Emperor Zhaoning thought for a long time before he remembered that Ye Junwen was a fifth-grade earlier, Xia Boguang was a first-class person, and the third-grade was a sixth-grade. Emperor Zhaoning didn't want to grind his teeth with Wenchen, so he directly rewarded him with an eight-grade edict, and the provincial Ministry of Rites was crooked, so he sent the little eunuch to the Ministry of Rites to say hello and finish.

Emperor Zhaoning wanted the clan to take the arithmetic examination, and those who were proficient in arithmetic were basically recruited by the imperial court, and they couldn't just get an account room to teach. No one has time to go to the Pope's room, and if the Ministry of Rites is stuck with Xia Boguang's edict, he will be hacked to death by the sect every minute. The milk of the Son of Heaven. The mother can also seal one product, and it is not uncommon for the teacher of the clan to give an eighth product. Emperor Zhaoning didn't whimsically get another female official, and the Ministry of Rites approved it in a slippery manner. Eight products are ordained, and labor is not enough for the emperor. Tingfang was still in the Qianqing Palace, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites casually copied a sample and stamped it, and sent it to the □□.

Emperor Zhaoning casually consulted the design of the teaching materials of the lower sect and how to communicate with the palace. The inner study room was unified, and it took more than half an hour. Ting Fang really couldn't sit still, so Emperor Zhaoning let her go. When he stood up, he couldn't stand firmly, and Emperor Zhaoning noticed Tingfang's tiredness, and hurriedly instructed left and right: "Go, bring a sliding rod and send Taifu's house." Is Xu Dudu still in Yamen? Tell him to pick up his daughter-in-law. ”

Yuan Shoufu glanced at Ting Fang sympathetically. Tingfang is more sympathetic to herself, she really can't conceive a second child! How can my mother's two children be so bad! was carried by the palace maid on a sliding pole and carried to the gate of the palace, where Xu Jingchang was already waiting. The gate of the palace was bustling and very lively, so he casually called a carriage, moved Tingfang into the car, and asked, "Are you okay?" Do you want to call a doctor? ”

Ting Fang waved his hand, poked his head out, and said to Xu Jingchang's long-term entourage: "You go home first and prepare dinner for me." He turned around and said, "I ate a bowl of porridge at noon, and I was thinking of mixing snacks with the eldest princess, but I didn't know that His Majesty announced that I would go to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters, and it came to this point." Tired and hungry. ”

Xu Jingchang knew that Tingfang loved to nest in his arms and be coquettish, so he hurriedly hugged her, stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth, and coaxed: "The things outside are not clean. Hold on for a while. ”

Ting Fang frowned: "I don't want to eat sweet." ”

Xu Jingchang patted Tingfang on the back and said, "Soon, our house is close to the palace." As he spoke, he reached out and touched Tingfang's stomach and said with a smile, "He's hungry too, right?" ”

The husband and wife rushed to the house and had already set up the meal. Ting Fang was half hungry, Xu Jingchang handed over a bowl of broth and her quick pad. The province went back to eat in a hurry and hurt the stomach, but the soup didn't matter. Chen walked over and said, "I made your favorite jade rolls, and I happened to eat a few more." ”

The jade roll is a cabbage heart from the tender field, which is wrapped with various meat dishes, steamed across the water, and is the most fresh and sweet. Ting Fang hurriedly asked, "What kind of stuffing?" ”

"Shrimp's." Chen smiled, "I know you don't like minced meat." ”

Xu Jingchang looked at the table again, in addition to jade rolls, there were also stewed quail, butterflyfish and chestnut pork ribs. They are all home-cooked and smooth dishes, but they are very light. After a while, the girl brought another plate of cured beef and a plate of boiled waist flowers, which seemed to be having dinner with him. Ting Fang looked at the cured beef with a blank look and pulled Xu Jingchang's sleeve: "I want to eat." ”

Xu Jingchang. Touching Tingfang's head: "Good, it's not good to pickle vegetables like this, and the doctor won't let you eat them." Enjoy it when you're well. As she spoke, she put a pair of chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, "This is spicy, don't eat more, just take a bite." ”

Ting Fang held the bowl bitterly, and a bird came out of her mouth! Ancient Nima is not a life of people, conceived. Pregnant people are very prone to hemorrhoids, and in ancient times, they could not be cured, so they could only be light and light! After eating with chewing wax, Chen smiled and asked someone to bring out a plate of honey. Juice yam came: "The day before yesterday. You eat a few pieces, and then you don't eat much. Although yam is good, it is not as nutritious as food. You can eat it as a snack after dinner. ”

Ting Fang's appetite is really not good, even if she is hungry for an afternoon, she hasn't seen much increase in appetite. However, after picking up a yam and eating it, he refused to use his chopsticks again. The sleepy eyelids were fighting, so I heard Douzi report: "When I returned to the country, a little guy outside brought a message, saying that Fang Gongzi had arrived at Tianjin Port, was unloading the goods, and would enter Beijing in a few days." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and said to Ting Fang: "There is another bear child who wants you to study." ”

Who knew that Tingfang didn't reply, and when she looked again, she was already asleep. 166 Reading Network
