Chapter 44: The Emperor of the Apocalypse and His Wife (Asking for Votes, Asking for Collection)

Inside the Imperial Palace, Kunning Palace.

In front of his brother and sister-in-law, Zhu Youzhen took out the gifts he prepared one by one.

As expected, Zhu Youxiao's other gifts were only exchanged for Zhu Youxiao's disdainful eyes.

"Dangdangdang," Zhu Youzhen ignored Zhu Youxiao, holding two paper bags very doggedly and sending them to Queen Zhang.

"Sister-in-law, give you a taste? It's delicious. Zhu Youzhen said as he opened the paper bag.

Inside the paper bag are fried sunflower seeds and peanuts.

Zhu Youzhen grabbed a handful and motioned to Empress Zhang to learn from herself.

Empress Zhang saw that Zhu Youzhen was deliberately demonstrating to her husband, and she liked Xiao Wu's performance very much. This made her clearly feel the intimacy between Xiao Wu and them, which was like the feeling of a family.

After becoming the queen, even her family was submissive in front of her. When I got together with my family, I felt completely homeless, which made Queen Zhang very unaccustomed.

Empress Zhang swallowed a few like Zhu Youzhen, and she liked the taste of peanuts and sunflower seeds very much.

Empress Zhang personally opened a few and sent peanuts and melon seeds to Zhu Youxiao's mouth.

Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth with a smile on his face, and asked his wife to put the nuts directly in his mouth, his face full of happiness. It's a picture of a concubine.

The demonstration failed, but the single Wang Zhu Youzhen, who was hit, had no choice but to come up with the killer weapon of this trip.

As soon as Song Chuan's drawings unfolded, Zhu Youxiao's eyes instantly brightened. Ignoring that Empress Zhang was still by his side, he looked down, and quickly immersed himself in the drawings, and didn't look up again for a long time.

Empress Zhang knew her husband's hobbies, and she had long been surprised. She swallowed melon seeds and pulled Zhu Youzhen casually.

In the palace, it is difficult for Empress Zhang to find such a conversation partner, and the restraint of the other party often makes her lose interest in chatting. is also Zhu Youxiao's brother, who can let her enjoy a relaxed casual chat.

After gossiping with Empress Zhang for a long time, Zhu Youzhen said goodbye to the reluctant Empress Zhang.

Zhu Youxiao, who was still immersed in the drawings, just waved his hand casually to Zhu Youzhen, and didn't even raise his head.

After returning home from the palace, Zhu Youzhen instructed Wang Chengen to send Wei Zhongxian a dividend of 100,000 taels of silver.

Wei Zhongxian was very happy to see the silver ticket with dividends.

In fact, at this time, the powerful Gonggong Wei has long since stopped taking the 100,000 taels of silver in his eyes.

What makes Gonggong Wei happy is the meaning of this silver ticket: King Xin and him are still allies.

This attitude is the most important thing in Wei Zhongxian's opinion, why do you always fight and kill, isn't it good for everyone to make money happily together?

After the Spring Festival of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youzhen began to take stock of his industry. His family business is getting bigger and bigger.

By the end of the third year of the Apocalypse.

The main artery of the Ming Empire, all the cities along the canal have been stationed.

The larger cities along the route have opened a second one, and Nanjing City has even opened a third.

In fact, with the current size and population of Nanjing, there is no problem at all to accommodate 10 money banks.

What restricts the expansion speed of money is still the old problem, the lack of talent. The training of personnel has not kept pace with the pace of expansion.

Fertilizer workshops have taken root in the more populated cities along the canal. Relying on the financial support of Qianzhuang, the fertilizer workshops were quickly on the right track.

The public money village and the fertilizer workshop have always been open in the city of Daming.

However, because the run has not appeared for a long time, Zhu Youzhen feels very uneasy. He is still cautiously expanding his business empire, and he does not dare to be careless.

The deposits of silver in various parts of the public bank still exist in the local area, and they dare not use it in large quantities.

In this era, no matter which city it is, Yexianglang is the lowest level of the city. Despicable, they are always longing for salvation, dreaming day and night of living a life of food and clothing.

When the day really comes, the lowly will hold on to it and never let go.

The day really came.

In the third year of the apocalypse, Ye Xianglang in the big cities along the canal really lived a life of food and clothing.

Although they only barely satisfy their hunger with the coarsest food, this also makes the night fragrant lang grateful to Dade. What's more, the night fragrant lang sees hope for a life-change.

The young and strong children in Yexianglang have the courage to walk in front of others for the first time.

As their lives change day by day, the night Xianglang people are filled with endless gratitude to the proprietor of the capital.

"Night Fragrance" is the official name of the intelligence organization set up by Zhu Youzhen for Gao Qiqian.

"Night primrose" has now penetrated into various cities along the canal along the fertilizer workshop, and is slowly opening at the bottom of Daming City.

The night incense organization in the capital is no longer limited to the level of night incense, it has been greatly expanded at the bottom of the entire society, and many city fox society rats have become its peripheral organizations.

Yelanxiang even used Zhenmutang's business to initially break into the middle and upper classes of the capital.

Because of the presence of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, this line was carried out very carefully.

Although the scale is small, the number of people is small, and the composition of the personnel is only the existence of some people in the mansion. The collection of news is still in the stage of listening to the wind and rain, but the addition of these people has also greatly enriched the sources of Nightshade.

Unconsciously, Zhu Youzhen, who was in the capital, had become deaf and clear.

The spring of the fourth year of the apocalypse has really come, the fields are covered with new green, and the dead trees are sprouting.

According to Xu Guangqi's arrangement, the 10 hectares of fields reserved by Huangzhuang began to concentrate on planting potatoes.

Last year, when the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in the second season of Huangzhuang were harvested, the yield per mu reached about 18 stones. Such a high yield per mu caused a sensation in the entire Huangzhuang.

The news spread quickly, and all the tenants were running to tell each other that the gods had descended, and good days were coming.

Huangzhuang was forced by the pressure of King Xin, and the greed of the management had to be restrained a little.

The stewards and eunuchs of Xiaowangzhuang and Guzhuang were killed with rods, and the official schools were all executed in Dongchang. The head of the village and his companions were also deprived of everything, and the whole family was reduced to the lowest tenants, and many of them did not even survive this winter.

These bloody lessons all remind the management of the Huangzhuang that His Royal Highness King Xin is not a good person who can only eat fasting and recite Buddha.

The tenants, whose life pressure has been reduced, eat a few full meals for the first time at the end of the year.

In the hearts of the well-fed tenants, His Royal Highness Shin has become the embodiment of the gods and Buddhas.

The tenants only knew that after His Royal Highness King Xin took over the Imperial Village, they would be able to eat a full meal. All the good things were brought by the king.

When Zhu Youzhen came to Xiaozhangzhuang for the first time in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, all the tenants in this imperial village dragged their families and took their most precious things, and spontaneously came out to greet King Xin.

The tenants were all proud to see His Royal Highness King Shin. In the hearts of the tenants of Xiao Zhangzhuang, King Xin has been completely deified and Buddhaized.

Looking at the excited crowd, Zhu Youzhen was deeply shocked.

It was also the first time he had seen such a scene in two lifetimes.

This kind of scene that was dismissed as a show in the previous life, how can you understand it if you don't experience it yourself.
