The autumn wind gradually rose, blowing off the yellow leaves.

The autumn day in the palace is far more lonely and desolate than elsewhere.

In the Imperial Garden, the tall honey locust trees have lost their yellow leaves, leaving only dry branches, silent against the sky.

The colorful and purple flowers that used to be purple and red have now gradually withered, and the yellow and verdant grass is all over the garden.

However, in just a few days, the temperature plummeted, the flowers fell, the leaves withered, and even the water in the pool had some thin ice.

A few koi carp that had been frozen to death, with their white bellies, floated on the water, were fished out by the palace maids and eunuchs on the side and buried in the loess.

No matter how prosperous you are, you will end up under this loess.

Siyu took the fawn, and the two of them had no purpose, going back and forth in this imperial garden.

At this time, the imperial garden is very desolate, and few concubines in the palace are willing to come here, so don't worry, you will meet Concubine Gu, Concubine Guo, and Concubine Su here.

Since Chen's mother died, Siyu's heart has long been tired of it.

She didn't want to be jealous with the concubines in the palace, and there were a few times when she hoped that the three of them could ease the conflict with Concubine Gu, and hoped that the prince would be able to go to them often.

But the prince was only willing to guard her alone, and this unique grace made her very happy and feel at ease. In fact, he didn't want to marry into this palace, it was better to marry a poor farmer.

At least marrying a farmer, he doesn't have any financial strength to marry a few concubines, and only spoil her alone, poor is poorer, but life is both safe and comfortable, and that's it.

Life is a life, grass and trees are autumn, and there is not much to ask for.

Flowers need a season of spring to soothe them, and women are not the same.

Who would like a king who is wet with rain and dew, who has just climbed down from another woman and climbed on his own body, who can stand this kind of taste.

But this fate makes people, and it is not Siyu who can influence it, and wants the king to favor him alone, but I am afraid that he will become the target of public criticism in this harem.

Sometimes Siyu really felt that she was very tired and didn't want to fight back and forth with Concubine Gu and the three of them.

But the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, as long as she monopolizes the favor of the prince, I am afraid that she will eventually be the concubine in this harem, who is always on the cusp and is destined to be criticized.

Siyu sometimes feels very tired, and sometimes even the Queen Mother will hint to her that she should not dominate the pet.

But these are not things that Siyu can decide, and the prince doesn't listen to them at all.

She often heard that when a man takes possession of a woman he likes, he doesn't take her too seriously.

First, it's because I've got her, and there's no longer anything new. Second, maybe a man will never like a woman who can't get it.

However, these two articles are not applicable to the prince at all, although the prince has already obtained Siyu, and since he forcibly took possession of Siyu in Jingxi Tea and Wine Lane, he has become more and more fascinated by her.

Every night, she always has to be tossed until late, and she keeps loving, which makes Siyu a little unbearable.

And every time she refused, she was exchanged for deeper love from the other party.

It seems that the prince has been obsessed with her to the point of madness, and this time, he was even more surprised by the book he gave him.

Originally, Siyu secretly helped him correct the folds and almost took on most of his government affairs, which was extremely confidential.

Based on this alone, the favor that Siyu got was the first in this harem, and no one could compete with her, nor could she fight for it.

Although Princess Gu is very brainy, her knowledge is far inferior to Siyu.

The former is how to get more of the prince's favor, but the latter can share most of the prince's sorrows.

In this way, the judgment is made.

And the crown princess Gu had no way of knowing, Siyu also corrected the folds for the prince, which was originally a forbidden thing.

The prince was destined to be impossible to tell her.

As for Concubine Guo and Concubine Su, the two of them are half a catty to eight taels, and they don't look bad, but as soon as they talk to the prince, they expose their shallow knowledge, and sometimes they simply play the piano to the cow, and the chicken talks to the duck.

In this way, how could the prince be willing to get along with them.

And no one will tell them all this, they just simply think that Siyu is really just seductive with color.

As everyone knows, not only is his hue worse, Siyu is far away, and even his knowledge cannot be compared with Siyu.

But no one will tell them this, but Siyu is like a mirror in his heart, and he understands the key to it, and he can't help them.

I can't run to them and beg them to read more books and gain more knowledge, so that when talking to the prince, the two people should not be too different, so that the prince can be alone and infinitely lonely.

Even if Siyu had the courage to run in front of them and say such a thing, I was afraid that they would think that they were ridiculing them.

It seems that all this will never be solved.

Siyu is also getting more and more tired, and on weekdays in his Cuiwei Palace, with Xiaolu, Miaoyu, Miaoli, the door is not out, the second door is not stepping, chatting with calligraphy and painting.

However, her calligraphy and painting were regarded as treasures by the prince and she couldn't put them down.

For many days, after Siyu's recital was put on the agenda by the prince, the important ministers in the court also passed it on.

They are also very tempted by the huge profits involved.

For a long time, maritime trade can be said to be a profitable business, there is the Song Dynasty, the richest, lost all the land in the north, and the corner of the country also relied on the large amount of gold and silver income from the maritime trade, and survived for more than a hundred years.

Now the Ming Dynasty, facing the emptiness of the treasury, just relying on the grain cultivated in the soil, facing the strong enemy around, the domestic natural disasters are continuous, and it is already a little stretched.

Not to mention the increasingly large number of children of the clan, the number of people exceeds the scale of a province, these people do not produce, they rely on this Ming Dynasty in vain to raise, and do not pay a penny of food.

This itself is also a cancer of the Ming Dynasty, but because of the iron law of Taizu, it cannot be removed.

Since the crown prince was in charge of the country, he has seen that this financial turnover is an extremely difficult thing, and there is an urgent need to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

On this day, a quarrel also broke out in the court.

Shen Yixian, as always, still has some opposition to the opening of the sea ban.

Although his attitude was somewhat relaxed after reading Siyu's recital, Yongle almost overdrew his national strength.

At that time, Zheng He went to the West, except for letting the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty spread all over the world, but did not bring back substantial benefits.

Moreover, he went to the West seven times before and after, spending countless money and food, but he just saved a false name.

This is also after Zhu Di, he has only been to the West once, and he ended hastily, not to mention the matter of going to the West.

Because it's too expensive to eat.

Scholar Shen is afraid of the prince, he loves fame too much, and imitates Chengzu, so the gains outweigh the losses.

However, Huo Zhanshi, a close minister of the crown prince, believed that this move was in the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, and he should start from opening the shipyard, immediately open the sea ban, and establish the city shipping department.

The crown prince also fully understood that Shen Daxue was worried, and promised on the spot that he would not follow Cheng Zu, just to make a name for himself and consume the national strength in vain.

Speaking of which, Scholar Shen has no reason to refute.

In fact, he also has a hard time doing this, and if the person who advocates this matter will definitely support other families.

It will be his eldest son.

In order to avoid suspicion, he could only object.

Now looking at the court, almost all the voices want to reopen the sea ban, after all, the Ming Dynasty has so much income every year.

Once the sea ban is opened, a large amount of income will be increased, and the income of hundreds of officials will also rise, and who is not happy?

Therefore, the recital proposed by the prince was quickly adopted.

Three days later, an edict was issued to reopen the shipyards, to rediscover the craftsmen who had been able to build large ships, and to recruit sailors again.

He also appointed Shen Dagongzi to an official position, the director of the Municipal Shipping Department, and also led the Quanzhou shipping affairs.

The grade is not high, and the power is not small, but Shen Dagongzi almost poured all his family wealth into this matter.

All this does not require much money for the imperial court to invest, and such a lucrative business has already made the families tempted.

They generously donated money and invested in Shen Dagongzi's ocean-going fleet.

Siyu invested nearly one million taels of gold, which is quite small.

On the day the edict was issued, Shen Dagongzi happily transferred the property of Tianxianglou. All of them were transferred to Siyu's name.

In this way, Xiao Zhanggui and Feng Ma became Siyu's subordinates, and they were directly responsible for Siyu, and they also got the news for the first time, and they were also very shocked in the future.

The two of them didn't expect that Shen Dagongzi would give Siyu such a lucrative deal.

This seems to them to be simply unbelievable and incomprehensible.

But that doesn't affect how they operate, everything will be the same, it's just that the owner has changed.

So far, Tianxiang Lou's daily water. will exist in Siyu's name, Siyu has not had time since he took over, go out of the palace and go to Tianxianglou to have a look.

I only hope that one day the prince will be able to give her permission.

As for the affairs of this, Xiaolu and Miaoyu can go out of the palace freely and go back and forth between Yanliu Lane and the palace.

Siyu's management of Tianxianglou is almost completely let go.

She also met Feng Ma and Shopkeeper Xiao, and the accounts they presented were obviously able to feel that they had done something on this account.

Although she lived in the deep palace, she had also wandered in Yanliu Alley, and Feng Ma and Xiao Zhanggui didn't dare to do it in the accounts, because they had changed their hands and feet too much for fear that she would find out.

But what a shrewd person Siyu was, he soon found out.

However, she remained silent, just raised the shares of Feng Ma and Xiao Zhanggui by 10% each, and used a vermilion pen to outline a few wrong places in the accounts.

In this way, not only did Feng Ma and Xiao Zhanggui dare not deceive Siyu anymore, but also made them reacquaint themselves with Siyu, and they no longer dared to do anything in the accounts.

From now on, Siyu will have another item, where the money comes.
