Seeing that King Xin suddenly became very confident, everyone felt very strange, Liu Zongzhou asked, "What is King Xin going to do?" ”

King Xin said: "Lord Liu began to say that they only want a title of equal treatment, and we will give them this title, because I remembered one thing, that is, the Government Council can exchange interests with the Great Iron Company."

Liu Zongzhou and Gao Panlong didn't understand why they went around to the big iron company again, only Xu Guangqi nodded and said: "It makes sense for King Xin to think so." ”

King Xin said: "The Bo College has studied specific matters such as mining and road construction, and the construction of the site. ”

Xu Guangqi said: "There are only four kinds of business for the big iron company, one is to open a bank, the second is to build roads, and the rest is to sell the qualifications for mining and starting construction. The qualifications for opening mines and starting construction can be regarded as the imperial court's compensation for the big iron company, and the big iron company also said that it is ready to use this part of the income to build roads, which means that the big iron company only has to make money by opening money and building roads. It doesn't take much effort to sell the qualifications to open mines and start construction sites, and road construction requires a lot of financial and human investment, and I don't know what accidents will happen, and the exchange of interests can prevent accidents from happening, and it can also allow the prefectures and counties to have income and pay at the same time. ”

King Xin smiled and said: "Lord Xu is really powerful, I can think that I am solving problems and preventing problems in the future, and in doing so, I can also let those prefecture and county officials understand that there is nothing in vain in the world, and there is a reward for paying." Of course, while I did this, I also had the meaning of repaying the imperial brother, after the imperial court monopolized the commercial tax, the imperial brother pacified those shareholders through the big iron company, so as to avoid the imperial court from losing its trust and explore the way for the future affairs of the imperial court. If we have the ability and don't know the gratitude return, not to mention that the royal brother and those shareholders will be cold, we ourselves will be embarrassed. ”

Gao Panlong asked: "How is King Xin going to distribute the tax share to the people below?" And what are you going to make them give? And how to exchange interests with the big iron company? ”

King Shin thought for a moment and said, "This is just a temporary idea, and the specific way to do it will have to be carefully discussed with the household officials." At the beginning, our four departments are responsible, and everyone should cooperate with ♀ each other in their own affairs, and the Government Council wrote to all localities to tell them that the imperial court is ready to allocate a part of the tax revenue, so that the local government can use the allocated part of the tax revenue to cooperate with the big iron company to build roads, open mines and other affairs; At the same time, a specific allocation of shares between the central and local governments should be discussed as soon as possible. The Metropolitan Procuratorate privately sent a letter to reprimand the prefectures and counties that were in a mood, and asked them to appease and restrain their subordinates not to cause trouble, what do you think? ”

Gao Panlong nodded and said: "There is no problem with this, it is best for the Government Council and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to write at the same time, so that they will understand what they mean‰ to the unfair questions they put forward on the surface, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can let them come out with their own ideas to see what they say." ”

King Xin nodded, and then said to Liu Zongzhou and Xu Guangqi: "Lord Liu, don't be idle in your Holy Academy, although there is another inside story in this matter, how to be fair and reasonable in employing people is also a problem that must be solved." Since the imperial brother said that officials cannot be appointed by merit and seniority, then how to measure a person's ability is very important, there are many old ministers and highly learned people in the Holy Academy, and it should be no problem to leave this matter to you§ Your Excellency is in charge of the Bo Academy, and you need to set a specific detailed rule for mining, road construction, construction and other affairs, so that people can refer to the work and at the same time quantify the ability of officials. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded and believed in the king, he said: "Since everyone has no objections, let's report our analysis and handling opinions to the imperial brother, after all, the exchange of interests with the big iron company is just our wish, and we must agree to it." ”

King Shin and the others encountered open demands for fairness and hidden demands for equality, and after everyone discussed some solutions, they could also ask Tianqi to let him have ideas, they didn't know that Tianqi was also encountering the same problem now, and he didn't have a good way to solve this problem, and there was no place to ask people.

At noon on September 15, Tianqi was discussing with the queen in Kunning Palace about recruiting new palace maids, and after more than a year of hard work, the shadow of famine shrouded all over the country finally dispersed, and the palace maids who heard the news also had the desire to go home. In the past, the family suffered from disasters and famines, and I was afraid that life would not be easy after I went back, but now that my life is better, I am told that I can also be taken care of by the palace after I go back, and everyone wants to have the glory of returning to my hometown and the need to marry and have children. In this case, the palace maids who are qualified have signed up to learn medical skills, clothing, making incense powder and other techniques everywhere, so that the new recruitment of palace maids has become a problem that must be considered.

The last time the queen said that she wanted to be the president of the Women's Federation, it was a casual remark, but when the apocalypse heard it, not only did she not object, but she put these affairs together and let her take care of them. Fortunately, the classification and age of the palace maids were not busy before, and seeing that the apocalypse was really going to continue to recruit people, the queen also took this matter to heart.

On this day, the queen saw that the apocalypse was very idle, so she took out her thoughts and asked, she said: "Your Majesty, you let this palace be divided into two halves, and all parts of the imperial city have also been changed into places for Xuexuan to let the palace maids who are willing to leave the palace and the daughters of foreign officials study in it, is this a whim or a long-term plan?" ”

Tianqi said: "Of course, it is a long-term plan, I want to build several women's colleges in the imperial city, and there are many smart and capable people among these women, and they can't spend money in vain to let them contribute to the Ming Dynasty." ”

The queen said, "What kind of people does the emperor want to train them to be?" ”

Tianqi said: "Forget about Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying, Da Ming has not yet reached the point of asking women to fight." However, it is not bad to have more talented women like Ban Jieyu, and it is better to have more masters like Wu Zetian who handle government affairs. ”

The queen rolled her eyes and asked, "In the emperor's mind, there is no one else who is a good woman?" ”

Tianqi smiled slightly and said: "Of course, it is best to have a few more queens who are both talented and good-looking, but now Da Ming doesn't have such conditions?" ”

The queen smiled: "The emperor will make people happy." ”

The two were talking and laughing, and when they saw Tan Jing and the two palace maids running in, Tianqi said: "It's time to pass the meal at noon, but the meal also needs to run, is there anything delicious today?" ”

Who knew that Tan Jing said: "Congratulations to the emperor!" Congratulations to the Queen! Zhang Xuanzhi and Feng Xuanzhi were both born, and each gave birth to a prince! ”

Apocalypse happily asked, "I knew that I was going to give birth in these two days, but I was afraid that it would have an impact on my going, so I didn't go to see it, when were they born?" ”

The two palace maids who followed up were Zhang Chunying and Feng Siqin's maids, and when they saw the sky, they asked together: "Back to the emperor, it's the first hour of noon!" ”

Seeing that they spoke neatly, the queen asked, "Both were born at noon?" ”

The two palace maids looked at each other and then nodded together, both with surprised looks on their faces.

Apocalypse asked them to go back to take care of them first, saying that they would go to see it after eating. Seeing that the two palace maids were gone, the queen asked Tan Jing to pass on the meal, and then quietly asked Tianqi: "Why doesn't the emperor go to see your son now?" ”

Apocalypse said expressionlessly, "Who to see first?" I said that whoever comes down will be the crown prince, and this matter is known in and outside the palace, and now that I am born at the same time, I am very sensitive to who I will see first, and I am very embarrassed. ”

The queen smiled: "The emperor likes to look at whoever he likes first, and no one will speculate because of this." ”

Tianqi shook his head and said, "You don't understand, Chunying and Siqin are both serious people, what I said in advance must be fair, otherwise it is better not to say it, and not let any of them feel unfair." Besides, the two born are my sons, and they can't be treated unequally for no reason. ”

The queen thought for a while and said: "The concubine doesn't know how important the equality and fairness the emperor said, but the weather is not cold now, and after dinner, the concubine personally brought the two little dolls to Kunning Palace, is it good for the emperor to see this?" ”

Tianqi knows that the most taboo in the palace is to compete for favor and establish an heir, and he has solved the problem of competing for favor, that is, like the officials of the DPRK and China, he uses age to limit the grade, which seems to have a good effect, at least to limit people's ambitions from expanding. In the matter of establishing an heir, it was originally said that the principle of first come, first served was used to distinguish fairness, but who knew that the two were born at the same time on the same day, which is a bit difficult to do. Hearing that the queen said that she would bring the two newborns to Kunning Palace at the same time, Tianqi's heart couldn't help but move, and he immediately had a good idea.

Tianqi nodded and said, "Okay, after eating, I will trouble the queen to take someone away." ”

At this time, Tan Jing brought lunch in, and by the way, he reported today's report to the Apocalypse. Tianqi looked at it and said, "It seems that it is really a coincidence, such a thing has happened in this palace and outside the palace." However, the Prison Yuan handled it well, and they were able to cooperate with each other while performing their duties, and it was even more rare to see that they were able to reach an agreement without any major disputes, which proved that I still have a vision. ”

After eating, the queen asked the curtains around the house to be lowered to block the wind, and she personally took people to bring back the two sons of Chunying and Siqin, and at the same time announced the promotion of Zhang Chunying to the fourth-grade beauty and Feng Siqin to the fourth-grade talent according to the original will of the apocalypse.

When the queen brought back the two tightly wrapped dolls, Tianqi was sitting on the chair in a daze, and the queen ordered someone to put the two children on the bed, and then said to Tianqi: "The emperor come and see, the two little dolls are so cute, the nose, mouth, and fingers are so small, they are as cute as toys!" What's even more rare is that both of them look good and look like twins. ”

Apocalypse waved his hand to let the palace maid on the side out, then walked over and picked up the two children, smelled the smell, and then put them in the bed, put down the mosquito net and sat on the bed, the queen looked in a daze, and said with a smile on the side: "What is the emperor going to do?" Do you want to transport ** so that they can't grow up immediately? ”
