Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun still likes to watch the rain, and he has been a human being in two lives, and this habit has not been changed.

The autumn rain is actually a little cool, standing at the window, looking at the autumn rain outside the window, raindrops fall from time to time, and autumn wind blows in, the cold wind makes Zhu Yijun feel a little cold, an autumn rain and a cold.

"Emperor, Lord Song is here!" Zhang Whale came behind Zhu Yijun and bowed.

Zhu Yijun glanced back at Zhang Whale, nodded and said, "Let him come in!" ”

It didn't take long for Song Yingchang to walk in from outside under the leadership of Zhang Whale, compared to when he just came back from Tianjin, Song Yingchang recovered very well at this time. Not only is he very good-looking, but he has also gained a lot of weight.

In fact, Song Yingchang was idle enough during this time, and he returned to the capital during the Battle of the Northwest.

It's just that the Battle of the Northwest is not over, Zhu Yijun is really not in the mood to deal with Song Yingchang, and then the things are not finished one by one, many things are unstable, and Zhu Yijun can't give the money to Song Yingchang and let him go to Tianjin.

But now Zhu Yijun is also rich, and he can give Song Yingchang to Tianjin.

"Minister Song Yingchang has seen Your Majesty!" Song Yingchang meticulously saluted Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and said with a smile: "Aiqing is exempt!" I didn't expect it to be autumn, and there was such a sudden rain. It seems that there will be no winter drought this winter, which is good news. ”

"The wind and rain in the Ming Dynasty are smooth, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings!" Song Yingchang hurriedly said.

Zhu Yijun just smiled, just listen to this, the weather in Daming during this period of time can only be described in two words, that is, "hehe", there are many droughts and floods, plus the winter is colder, and the days are not easy.

"I came to Aiqing today for the sake of Tianjin." Zhu Yijun looked at Song Yingchang and said.

"I was busy some time ago, but now that I have time, Aiqing can leave for Tianjin. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared all the money and food for Aiqing, and after arriving in Tianjin, Aiqing can prepare as much as possible. ”

"Whatever materials are needed, Aiqing can tell the Internal Affairs Office and let them buy them."

Song Yingchang hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister will go back and prepare, and then set off." ”

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's about to enter winter, and it is naturally impossible to start building in winter, so you have to wait until spring." I came to Aiqing this time to talk to Aiqing about the craftsman. ”

The Royal Shipyard, Zhu Yijun has made great efforts, and the key is that Tianjin is a treaty port that Zhu Yijun is preparing to build.

From the beginning of the construction of the shipyard, Zhu Yijun was ready to absorb a large number of people there, and the main place to absorb the population was Shandong. This involves another arrangement of Zhu Yijun in Shandong, and Tianjin Port is just a foreshadowing.

"Because it's a royal shipyard, I'm not prepared to levy conscription."

Zhu Yijun looked at Song Yingchang and said with a smile: "All employees are hired. ”

Song Yingchang was stunned, hiring? No conscription? There are a lot of disadvantages of conscription, of course it is good to hire, this is something that everyone knows, but how much does it cost! Song Yingchang didn't expect the emperor to make such a request, and asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, what about this cost?" ”

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know that the cost will definitely increase, it doesn't matter, you can do it with confidence, I will get you money." ”

It's not that Daming has no money, but most of the money has been hidden by the rich, digging a cellar to bury the silver, basically every rich family does this. All you have to do is take the silver out of the cellar and use it as you wish.

Infrastructure is the most expensive to do, but it is also the easiest to give money to ordinary people.

Zhu Yijun is ready to set an example with the Royal Shipyard this time, and at the same time beat the good reputation of the royal family. Doing things for the royal family without conscription, all of them are spent on hiring, and they will definitely be able to win a large number of people's hearts.

"The minister understands!" Song Yingchang hurriedly bowed down and replied.

In fact, as long as the emperor is willing to pay money, Song Yingchang is more willing to hire, after all, there are too many problems with levying and issuing conscription.

Zhu Yijun handed a booklet to Zhang Whale, and then said: "This is the idea of craftsman rating, you can take it and implement it in the Royal Shipyard first." ”

This is also a pilot for Zhu Yijun, a pilot for promoting the status of craftsmen.

"I must study it carefully when I go back!" Song Yingchang nodded and respectfully agreed.

Zhu Yijun wanted to say something, but a little eunuch from Kunning Palace suddenly ran in, his feet slipped and he almost didn't fall to the ground, and after entering the house, he directly lay on the ground: "Emperor, the queen mother is about to give birth." ”

This news directly shocked Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Yijun sat up from the dragon chair suddenly.

Is the queen about to give birth?

"Did you call the Imperial Doctor?" Zhu Yijun couldn't take care of Song Yingchang anymore, so he walked directly to the little eunuch's side and said loudly.

"The Imperial Doctor has already rushed over!" The little eunuch hurriedly spoke.

"Go to Kunning Palace!" Zhu Yijun strode outside, while Zhang Whale chased after him, and at the same time asked people to prepare umbrellas.

When Zhu Yijun came to Kunning Palace, there were already a lot of people gathered here, the two queen queens were already here, Zhu Yijun's sister also ran over, and several other concubines also came, and it was a big deal for the queen to give birth to a child.

Especially since this is Zhu Yijun's first child, it is even more important.

"The emperor is here?" Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhu Yijun and said with a smile.

Zhu Yijun nodded, saluted the Empress Dowager Li and said, "Erchen has seen the queen mother!" ”

Of course, Empress Dowager Li also knew that Zhu Yijun was in a hurry, so she pulled her son over with a smile and said, "Don't be too anxious, the mourning family has just asked the imperial doctor, the queen and the emperor and grandson are very good, and there will be good news soon." ”

In fact, how can Zhu Yijun not worry, not to mention this time, it is a woman's difficulty to have children in later generations.

The news of the queen's birth soon reached the cabinet, and then to the entire officialdom, and countless officials began to prepare congratulatory watches. This is definitely a big event in the Ming Dynasty, and the congratulatory table is a necessary process.

If the queen can get a man in one fell swoop, then this is the eldest son of the rightful concubine, that is, the future prince.

Although Zhu Yijun was very irritable, he could only sit with Empress Dowager Li here, drinking tea one by one. I didn't like to see the rain scene, but I felt very irritable.

Soon the news of the smooth birth came, and at the same time brought the news that the queen had given birth to a daughter.

Hearing that the mother and daughter were safe, Zhu Yijun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as for whether it was a son or not, Zhu Yijun didn't care so much. On the other hand, Empress Dowager Li was a little disappointed, but it quickly flashed by.

Anyway, the first one has already been born, this is not a son, and rebirth is it.

It was already the second day when Zhu Yijun saw Queen Wang and the child, looking at Queen Wang lying on the bed and the little baby beside her, Zhu Yijun had a smile on her face. It's in my own blood, it's good.

Gently stretched out his hand and tapped on the lips of the sleeping little girl, looking at the little girl's mouth, Zhu Yijun immediately smiled.

When Queen Wang saw this scene, her mood was also a lot more relaxed, in fact, she was in a lot of mood, she really wanted to give birth to a son. You must know that Zhu Yijun's other two concubines are also pregnant, and they are estimated to be about to give birth.

Reaching out to hold Queen Wang's hand, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "The queen has worked hard. ”

Queen Wang smiled, and said in a still weak voice: "The concubine body failed to give birth to a prince for His Majesty, and the concubine body is also guilty!" ”

"What does it matter!" Zhu Yijun said indifferently: "This time it's not a son, next time it's a child!" When your body is well, we will have another one, and we will have ten or eight sons, how can we have a son. ”

Listening to Zhu Yijun's words, Queen Wang blushed and nodded lightly.

"You just have to take good care of your body now, and when your body is well, you can have as many as you want."

In fact, Zhu Yijun was worried about Queen Wang's postpartum depression, if she was really depressed, it would be troublesome. After appeasing the queen and the queen, Zhu Yijun went back and passed down the holy decree, asking the Ministry of Rites to celebrate according to the most solemn etiquette.

On the one hand, it is to be happy, and on the other hand, it is to appease the queen and queen.

When Zhu Yijun was celebrating Princess Xide in the capital, a team of people had already arrived in Shandong. This team of centaurs is really Wang Yongji and his party, and there are a lot of Jinyiwei's men and horses, which makes this pair of people very large.

This time when he came to Shandong, Wang Yongji's identity was to fight for grain, so all officials at all levels in Shandong greeted him in Jinan Mansion.

Wang Zongmu, the governor of Shandong, stood at the front of the crowd, and there was a touch of melancholy on his forehead.

In fact, Wang Zongmu has already registered with Zhu Yijun, and he is a person that Zhu Yijun is very concerned about. In fact, in the tenth year of Wanli, Wang Zongmu was almost dismissed and went home, but Zhu Yijun protected him.

The reason is also very simple, Wang Zongmu is a person with a public heart.

Wang Zongmu once served as the governor of Caoyun and the governor of Fengyang, and he was extremely distressed by Chen Yunjun, so please have mercy. And with the impermanence of the river, the transporter will eventually stalk, and want to resume shipping, and he said: "Since the dredging of the Huitong River, the shipping has not been talked about for a long time. The ministers are close to the official Shandong, and they have a good taste. ”

Wang Zongmu refused the bribe, sympathized with the hardships of the shipper, and wanted to open the sea.

This proposal was supported by Liang Menglong, the governor of Shandong at the time, so the two began to experiment with shipping in Shandong.

It's just that there are always people who can't stand this kind of thing, after all, this has violated too many interests. So Nanjing sent a letter to Zhang Huan to impeach Wang Zongmu: "I heard that the eight boats were drifted, and the rice was lost 3,200 stones." Zong Mu expects this, and he will make up for it. Can Fu Mi make up for it, but human life can make up for it? Zong Mu covered up the audio-visual and was not a minister. ”

This memora to impeach Wang Zongmu is also very simple, the sea is too dangerous, and the food can be replenished if there is no food, how can human lives be replenished?

Coincidentally, at the time of the next shipping, seven ships sank, grain capsized, and many people died.

In Zhu Yijun's opinion, if there are no ghosts in this, then there are really ghosts.

Liang Menglong was protected by Zhang Juzheng, serving as the governor of Jiliao, Wang Zongmu had no one to protect him, and he was the governor of Caoyun to advocate shipping, so he was targeted. When Wanli was ten years old, he was almost dismissed and went home, but was saved by Zhu Yijun.

Whether it is Liang Menglong or Wang Zongmu, these are all talents that Zhu Yijun has prepared for his next step.
