Chapter 158: Harem (7)
Meng Jinghan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
Zhuang Minhua was relieved when he saw that he agreed, remembering that the map copied in the system had not yet been handed over to Meng Jinghan, and it happened that Meng Jinghan was preparing to fight, so he would hand it over to him together! "By the way, I still have something good for you, I was going to wait for your birthday, but the sooner this kind of thing is given to you, the greater the effect."
Meng Jinghan was curious, his birthday was in the second half of the year. Min Min prepares a gift so early? And what's the good stuff? Zhuang Minhua personally took out a small box with a lock from the dark compartment under the makeup table, and took out a key from the makeup box and opened the small box.
The two came to the light together, Meng Jinghan watched with anticipation as Zhuang Minhua took out a folded white silk from the box, which was stained with ink-colored lines, and he wondered in his heart, what is this?
Zhuang Minhua took out the silk and opened it layer by layer, and when she copied this map, she originally wanted to use paper at first, but later considered that if she used paper, it would be easy to break if she used it often. I chose another silk, which is soft and lightweight, wide in size, suitable for drawing, easy to carry, and not easy to break.
As the layers of silk were opened, Meng Jinghan's complexion gradually changed, this should be a map? Slowly the familiar state and county appeared in front of him, and when it was not fully opened, he could judge that this should be the map of Daqi.
And according to the format of this map, it is completely the map of the entire Great Qi, Meng Jinghan was shocked, when the whole map was opened. A very detailed map of the Great Qi appeared in front of him, which described in detail the characteristics and specialties of various regions. This is hard to believe, so far, the map of Daqi is not complete and detailed, like this complete map of Daqi is afraid that there is only this one today.
Meng Jinghan's face was calm and composed, but in fact, the slightly trembling hand that touched Yutu had already revealed his emotions. "It's ...... A complete map of Daqi. This is Jinzhou, this is Yaozhou, this is ......"
When he had the heart to go north, having such a map would not only allow him to know the territory of Daqi well. More importantly, it can also play a great role in governing the country in the future.
Meng Jinghan pointed out the names of those familiar states and counties one by one. He jerked his hand back and clenched his fist, the joy in his eyes almost flowing. Sure enough, Min Min was right, the sooner it got into his hands, the better.
"Minmin. You surprise me more and more every time. What do you want to say about your husband? ”
"Then don't say anything. Just love me well. ”
……
The next day, in the morning, the first assistant of Shangzhuang played the method of raising silver from hundreds of officials, and Meng Jinghan ordered people to write down the number of silver donated by the courtiers on the spot. According to statistics, it is only 187,600 taels, which is not a little short of the huge military expenditure of 2 million.
Meng Jinghan has always had a cold face in front of outsiders, and at this time, his cold face made the courtiers who got the number a little weak and afraid, but Meng Jinghan was noncommittal.
There was also a matter of the Ministry of Rites playing the Spring Festival, which was supposed to be held in February this year, but because of the death of the first emperor, it was delayed. It was delayed until May, and if he wanted to drive the expedition in person, he would not be able to preside over the palace examination. Besides, didn't he remember that Minmin's birthday was also in May?
And the military expenses are still hanging, although Min Min doesn't have many ideas, and things are strange, but he can't let go of this heart without actually getting the money.
For various reasons, the matter of his personal expedition was temporarily put on hold.
Now the plan can only strengthen the defense of the border pass, but fortunately, he has already transported a batch of new and improved weapons to the border pass. With his henchmen and generals in charge, there is no problem in guarding the town.
Meng Jinghan went down to the early court, so he announced all his confidants to the imperial study, told Zhuang Minhua the method proposed, and asked them to help Zhuang Minhua when he was acting.
Then he stayed alone in the imperial study and personally copied the complete map of Daqi that Zhuang Minhua gave him. Then divide the states and counties, and draw a separate map for each state and county. In the future, if you give an order, just give that part of the map. Even if it is lost, it is only a part of it, and it will not happen that it will be lost to the entire Daqi map, which can improve the security and privacy of the map.
In order to keep it secret, Meng Jinghan spent several days to complete it, Meng Jinghan put away the original tightly, and the copy was also put away. He also selected the border part of the split map, summoned the secret guards, and ordered them to send these split maps to the henchmen and generals at the border pass.
And the courtiers are nervous! The emperor was furious yesterday because of military spending, but today he behaved calmly, even if the court donated too little silver, he didn't see a slight change in his complexion, so the emperor found a solution? Or just leave it alone? The courtiers were scratching their hearts, and the emperor couldn't get the information, so they went to visit Zhuang Shoufu one by one to inquire about the news. Zhuang Shoufu also looked unfathomable, and did not say a word about whether the emperor had any way to solve the matter of military spending.
However, he was very depressed about the method proposed by Zhuang Minhua. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this has always been a rule, but Hua'er is obviously involved. Although he believes in Meng Jinghan's character, he also believes in the changeability of people's hearts. In case Meng Jinghan settles accounts one day, this harem politics is a naked crime. Zhuang Shoufu called Master Zhuang and asked him to convey these words to Mrs. Zhuang, and then asked Mrs. Zhuang to enter the palace to talk to Zhuang Minhua.
When Mrs. Zhuang heard about it, she was also very worried, and immediately handed over a message to meet Zhuang Minhua.
At this time, Zhuang Minhua was already outside the palace, she took Emerald Green and Biqing, and used the pass token given to her by Meng Jinghan to pretend to be a eunuch out of the palace. Out of the palace gate, first look for a place to change into a man's clothes, come to the street, the street pedestrians are bustling, shoulder to shoulder, the river is endless, the houses are lined up one after another, all kinds of shops, restaurants and teahouses are lined up.
It can be seen that the three of them have started to play, but this is not the time to play, and she has something to do when she comes out this time. The three of them went straight to Zhuang Minhua's name and had already renovated the foreign goods shop. This shop Zhuang Minhua was handed over to her companion Guo Jiaxing and his wife, and when Zhuang Minhua arrived, the two were already waiting at the door.
When he saw Zhuang Minhua, his eyes suddenly showed surprise, and he quickly welcomed Zhuang Minhua and the three of them in.
Han Qing could have ended in February this year, but the death of the first emperor happened, which postponed the spring to May. He studied hard at home for months, and was dragged out by a friend to attend a literary party, which would be a little drunk, so he went to the window to blow the wind. Suddenly, he saw a familiar back, but it was the back of a man, and he just thought he was wrong, shook his head, and continued to stand at the window to blow the wind. (To be continued.) )
