Chapter 563: The West India Company

The two old ladies also have a lot of tricks, and they are now busy arranging operations every day, and they have launched offensives in the northwest, Fujian, and Henan, and they have no intention of taking care of the government.

Originally, when Tianlang was at home, the queen mother of the two palaces didn't like Qianqian to rush to the court with him, but now it is a big turn, and during the day, I can't wait to let Qianqian hurry up to replace Tianlang to go to the court, and they are so bright and bright to steal their grandson over to play.

As the days passed, Qianqian went to court in the morning and reviewed in the afternoon, while Tianlang lived every day to train soldiers during the day, practice martial arts, ride horses and draw bows, and wives and children around her at night.

Qianqian's several people have gradually adapted to the changes that have taken place in Tianlang, and the generals and soldiers in the palace and under his command have also become more confident in the growing strength of Da Ming.

The New Year is getting closer and closer, this afternoon, Zhu Cixuan was taken by the two imperial grandmothers to play, Qianqian and Yu Qing'er went to Duxiufeng to check how they were preparing for the upcoming Spring Festival, and they also sent Duxiufeng new clothes, jewelry, silver and many other things.

It's rare that Tianlang came back very early today, when he came back, he took a bath first, Qianqian and Yu Qing'er didn't eat in the palace, Du Heng and Fang Zhi didn't eat in order to wait for Tianlang, Tianlang came back and had lunch with Du Heng and Fang Zhi, and the three of them went back to the main hall together.

Du Heng and Tianlang talked about the distribution of palace points and the purchase of funds in the palace at the end of the year, and Tianlang listened patiently. When Du Heng finished speaking, Fang Zhi wanted to pull the two of them to play chess together, and Tianlang said how could the three of them play? Fang Zhi said that whoever loses will watch the game and replace the person who loses next.

After a while, they found that Tianlang was a little sleepy, Fang Zhi and Du Heng had something to do, so they left, and Tianlang took a nap for a while.

Before dinner, Qianqian finally came back, woke up Tianlang, and the family had dinner together again.

After dinner, due to the wet and cold weather in Jiangnan in winter, the family sat around a large stove with the characteristics of Tianlang's life, and there was a table on top of the stove, just like the people in the south now put a stove under the mahjong table in winter to keep warm.

You can eat and drink on the table, and everyone can also sit together and play fun games such as leaf cards and Three Kingdoms Killing.

The family is all crammed into a large semi-circular bench, covered with thick leather mattresses, covered with the same big blanket, chatting and drinking tea together, and it is very warm and sweet.

During this period, Qianqian mentioned the matter of the government, saying that Qu Shiyun finally failed to survive the drying of Tianlang and Qianqian, and in the last few days of the year, he still went to the court.

Tianlang also laughed at it, and joked lightly with his family, "He is waiting for a panic, after the promotion of our queen mother, the court has already changed its appearance, the so-called Green Demon Party, and many people climbed up while Qu Shiyun was not paying attention, and it won't be long before someone will touch the position of the six departments and Jiuqing, can the old man Qu not be in a hurry?" ”

Everyone laughed, Qianqian said, "We have recently promoted many ministers, which also made Qu Shiyun, who returned from vacation, complain a lot about me in the court today, which also said that Her Royal Highness the Queen has promoted a large number of officials in the past few days, such as Jiangxi according to the inspection envoy Zhou Yunji was promoted to Jiangxi political envoy, and Fujian according to the inspection envoy Hu Shirui was promoted to Fujian political envoy, all of which were promoted from the third rank to the second rank, which is also appropriate; His Royal Highness also made Zheng Yunyuan, Marquis of Wuding, the political envoy of Huguang, so that the temporary position of Governor of Huguang became a memorial along with He Tengjiao and Lord He, which is also reasonable. ”

Tianlang interrupted Qianqian's retelling with a smile, and said, "Since he thinks it's suitable, what's the point?" ”

"Listen to me." Qianqian also laughed while talking, "He also said that His Royal Highness canceled the rank of governor not long ago, and changed this position back to a temporary appointment, and then appointed Jinbao as the governor Yungui. ”

Qianqian paused, and deliberately coughed twice, "The key to what Qu Shiyun wants to say is here, he said, but the minister just wants to ask what is going on with the position of the candidate, and the minister is really a little confused about his title." ”

Tianlang raised an eyebrow, knowing that Hou was just a prank between him and Qianqian, but Du Heng Fangzhi and Yu Qing'er didn't know the ins and outs, and they were still listening with their ears pricked up.

"Then how did you explain it to Qu Shiyun? Now Chao Chinese Wu has given you a new nickname, called the mud-headed little scoundrel, I'm afraid you didn't give him an explanation so honestly, right? ”

Qianqian snorted nonchalantly and said, "Where am I a scoundrel, it's not that the Donglin Party is too difficult, according to their routines, where will they not suffer?" ”

Tianlang shouted a sip of tea and nodded, "Mu." After a sigh, he swallowed the tea and said, "So, you just messed around, and when you were in a hurry, you simply lifted the table, isn't this a muddy little scoundrel?" ”

Qianqian said proudly: "Hmph, whatever, in short, it's just me bullying others since I was a child, I said to Qu Shiyun at that time, it must be that Qu Gong has been ill for many days, and his spirit has not yet recovered. ”

Qu Shiyun said with a black line on his face: "A mere salt transportation division knows the same thing, so naturally it will not confuse the old minister." It's just that Her Royal Highness the Queen gave him the title of CEO of the Daming Royal West India Company, and the old minister doesn't know how big this title is, and what the hell is this so-called CEO? ”

Everyone laughed, Qianqian Renjun said: "So I patiently explained to him, I said, oh, Qu Gong asked this, what about this Ming Royal West India Company, it is Hou Xing borrowed some silver from the inner transport treasury and just opened a business, he is the godson of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces said to let him borrow money, and the daughter-in-law of this palace can't be too picky, right?"

However, his business has nothing to do with our royal family, and this CEO only asks the emperor for his opinion, and the emperor casually talks nonsense to him, and he doesn't need the court to give him grade and money. In the eyes of the palace and the emperor, this CEO is actually the shopkeeper of the same company, it's as simple as that. ”

Tianlang laughed, "The CEO is the shopkeeper, and your translation is really good." ”

"It's not bad, I also said that if the Qu Qing family wants to ask Hou Xing what new meaning this name has bringed, then go directly to Hou Xing himself, this palace also feels inexplicable, why did the emperor help him get such a name."
