As soon as Nianxin's voice fell, Zhang Xian laughed and said:

"I'm a good lady, huh? I know that the prince has an appetite, let's talk about it, what news is there about Miss Yuyao? ”

"Xianggong is more concerned about Sister Yuyao, as soon as people say it, Xianggong cares so much, and I don't know if people are not by Xianggong's side, Xianggong will not care so much about others!"

Nianxin pursed her breathless little mouth and said, the delicate red lips and the big flickering eyes, even the jealous look, made Zhang Xian can't help but want to kiss it, and said:

"My little lady, are you jealous? In Xianggong's heart, the position of the lady who misses the heart can not be replaced by anyone! For her husband to admit that I want a woman like Miss Yuyao, I also like it, and he is also a life-saving benefactor for her husband. However, what's the use of liking her husband, Miss Yuyao is also a hard-working person. Her husband's family, who has not passed through the door, turned out to be the son of Liumengyan, the dog-legged son of Jia Nidao, the big enemy of Yuyao's family, in terms of seniority, I still have to call Yuyao an uncle-in-law! ”

Zhang Xian shook his head after speaking, thinking about this mysterious relationship, it was really a headache. Seeing Zhang Xian's sullen appearance, Nian Xin remembered Wang Yuyao's life-saving grace to his father-in-law, and immediately threw this little vinegar out of the clouds, and said:

"Xianggong, don't be sad, the concubine is no longer unreasonable, today Yuyao's sister sent a letter to say that she wants to go to Lin'an with Master Huineng Shitai, saying that the emperor wants the eminent monks from all over the country to go to Lin'an Imperial City to pray for his four wives in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Sister Yuyao said that the teacher's fate is difficult, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect Xianggong recently, and I want Xianggong to take time to find a guard with strong martial arts to prevent accidents. ”

Zhang Xian was taken aback when he heard this, and Zhang Xian, who came through the time, naturally knew that after the emperor Song Duzong Zhao Yu ascended the throne, he was weak and incompetent, his IQ was lower than the level of a normal person, and he was even more absurd than Lizong, and he sat in the harem all day long, drinking and having fun with the concubines. It is recorded in "Renewal of Capital and Governance Tongjian: One Hundred and Eighty of the Song Dynasty": "The emperor is the crown prince, so as to have a good internal news!" "Standing, drunk on wine. At the beginning of the emperor, there were more than 30 people who thanked him a day. The approximate meaning of this passage is that Zhao Yu is famous for his lust as the crown prince.

Zhao Yu was not only lustful before, but also after becoming the emperor. According to the old practice in the palace, if the palace concubine was called to sleep with the emperor at night, she would go to Hemen the next morning to thank the emperor for his favor, and the eunuch in charge would record the date of the blessing in detail. When Zhao Yu first became the emperor, there were more than 30 palace concubines who came to Hemen to thank him one day.

After Duzong ascended the throne, even the official documents were handed over to the four most favored women, known as the four ladies of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Feng Jia seems to be the master of the Tao, doubly favored him, and entrusted the government to him. Jia Rudao saw that Duzong was even more mediocre than Lizong, so he was more domineering and domineering, and he didn't care about it, so he threatened him with resignation, and Duzong was afraid that he would not say goodbye, and always bowed down and bowed down to him, shedding tears to keep him. He was specially granted the important affairs of the military state of Dao Pingzhang, and he was allowed to do it for three days. Later, it was relaxed to ten days, and every time he retreated, Duzong always had to leave his seat to see him walk out of the main hall before he dared to sit down. He also built a beautiful residence for him in Geling, West Lake. Jia Rudao also learned from the emperor to be promiscuous, which made the government even darker.

Thinking of these, Zhang Xian felt bitter in his heart, to say that the Southern Song Dynasty was not actually without a chance to rise, but was really defeated in the hands of the mediocre and incompetent emperor and ministers, Zhang Xian said:

"Hey, lady, this emperor is so absurd and unreasonable, he actually prayed for the blessings of the four ladies and worked hard for the people and money, and made a big move, to say that this respectful lady and concubine is a good thing, but the emperor made such a labor and money, what is the difference between the princes of Zhou Youwang and the princes of the Fenghuo Opera back then?"

Nianxin was anxious when he heard this, and quickly covered Zhang Xian's mouth with his hand and said:

"Don't talk nonsense, this is a random evaluation of the king, but it is the crime of killing the head, and the concubine does not want to have any accidents with the prince..... Woooooo ”

Zhang Xian saw that he was scared to cry when he saw his own troublesome words, and he suddenly remembered that now it is not comparable to future generations, although the Song Dynasty is very lenient about the scholar class, but the emperor is not an ordinary scholar class can comment at will, even if it is a minister, there are countless people who have been demoted because of poetry that derogates the king, not to mention ordinary people. Where is Zhang Xian willing to cry his nose, looking at Nianxin's pitiful appearance, crying pear blossoms with rain, and hurriedly said:

"Lady, it's all your husband's fault, don't dare to talk nonsense for your husband in the future, don't worry! Such a beautiful lady, it doesn't look good when she cries! Come, tonight, the prime minister will feed you personally, okay, lady? ”

Hearing Zhang Xian say this, Nianxin laughed out loud with a snort, pursed his pink lips and said:

"Oh, Xianggong is here to trick people again, and the concubine is not a child, where do you need Xianggong to feed?"

Zhang Xian stopped crying when he saw Nianxin, and his heart became happy, and said:

"The lady's words are wrong! Who says you can't feed if you don't have a child? You see that you are a father-in-law, you will be twenty years old in two years, aren't you still breastfeeding? ”

Nian Xin tilted his head and asked suspiciously:

"Xianggong, are you still breastfeeding?? Yes!!! Xianggong, you are necrotic, how can you take this thing out! ”

Nianxin instantly ordered Zhang Xian's teasing of him, and his face immediately turned red like a ripe peach, Zhang Xian laughed out loud and said:

"Lady, let's go, let's have dinner and then go to the bath, and then the husband will naturally drink milk! As a husband, I also want to taste my son's rations first, don't be reluctant! ”

The evening breeze caressed, the autumn insects made noise, in this pink night, Nianxin covered her red cheeks with both hands, and the thin yarn was swept up by the wind. Zhang Xian led his beloved lady, like a tired bird returning to the room, deep and affectionate, like clothes flying in the air, the candlelight flickered on and off, and the romantic taste of the wind and moon, the two of them knew that they were like golden boys and girls, and it was not enough to be humane to the outside!

On the river outside Yangzhou, dozens of mighty ships set sail, gently rippling with the blue waves, under the blue sky and white clouds, slowly disappearing into the sky. But there are still thousands of people around, in fact, these are not ordinary people strictly speaking, but merchants who often do maritime trade in the coastal area, these merchants are naturally extremely sensitive to how to make money, for the emperor Qinfeng's military commander Zhang Xian, to send a fleet to distant Persia for trade, there are some feelings of expectation and fear in their hearts, and the merchants immediately began to discuss:

"Li Da shopkeeper, why do you say that this Lord Zhang wants to go so far away for sea trade? Persia is farther away than Ryukyu, Wajima, and Java, can this make money? ”

"Wang Yuanwai, you don't understand this, my Great Song Dynasty overseas trade, since the first emperor, can be regarded as unprecedentedly prosperous, three percent of the finance and taxation rely on the sea trade business, but in recent years, Ryukyu, Wajima, Java these places have been frequent trade, it is difficult to make more money, this Lord Zhang is really young and courageous, such a large-scale fleet, if all to Persia, this profit is more than a million silver taels! Whoever is bold will make money! ”

"Wang Yuanwai, according to what you said, Lord Zhang issued a notice before, everyone is welcome to form a fleet to go to the Western Ocean together, first, you can strengthen your momentum, and secondly, you can resist pirates together, and what is the full escort insurance, so you must have a ship to follow you?"

"Oh, that's right, this time the old man really doesn't have time to go to the West with Master Zhang, I will definitely go next time!"

"Hahaha, it doesn't rain when you go to work outside the king! The adventurous spirit that Master Zhang said, I don't think you have it, right? To tell the truth, this firm sent three big ships with Lord Zhang to go to sea, this is as Lord Zhang said, there is no sense of adventure, destined to do nothing for a lifetime, once this time to open up a new sea trade route successfully, in the future we and Shun business is everyone's hero, even if it is folded, this business has also bought insurance, Lord Zhang will also accompany all, the old man will only lose three costs. ”

"Hmph, old fox, and look at your results, it's not too late for the old man to do any more calculations! You must know that in the entire Yangzhou City now, those who dare to accompany Master Zhang to the sea to the West are only five or six of you, and most of them are waiting, what do you say the old man is anxious about? ”

Zhang Xian, who was standing on the shore, was followed by Niu Dameng, Wang Fu, Luo Tiantian and others, Niu Dameng listened to the discussions of these local maritime traders outside, and said to Zhang Xian:

"My lord, these profiteers are too much, originally my lord had some good intentions, hoping to lead my Great Song Dynasty coastal merchant ships overseas, so that everyone can make more money, but these people just want to see that others can make money at first, and then decide whether to follow the trend, it's too hateful!"

Zhang Xian heard what Niu Dameng said, and said:

"Da Meng, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, this is the nature of businessmen since ancient times, but if they dare to take risks now, they will inevitably soar in the future, and their business will soar; Now wait and see, when others take risks and make money, he will follow up, and if he wants to say that he can operate, he can make money, but compared to the businessmen who took risks at the beginning, they will definitely not make as much money as others, there is no doubt about this. ”

Wang Fu smiled and said:

"Yesterday, the Lord convened Yangzhou businessmen to discuss sea trade, and also talked about the adventurous spirit of two hours for the first time, which is to encourage everyone to carry out sea trade together, and the purpose is to expand the sea trade team. It's just that the old man doesn't understand, why do adults want to be adventurous with businessmen? Is it true that the overseas world is full of gold, as adults say? ”

Zhang Xian nodded, thinking that later generations of Magellan, Columbus and even Americans were full of exploration of the unknown world, which led to the advent of the Age of World Discovery, which made these countries leap into world superpowers in one fell swoop, Zhang Xian said:

"Lord Wang, of course the overseas world can't be full of gold, but it will do sea trade, and gold is everywhere in the world, and my Great Song Dynasty businessman, because he is deeply affected by the golden mean, is full of fear of the unknown world, and has never dared to take risks, so it is difficult to make money, so this official will have such a saying."

Wang Fu raised his head, thought about it, and said:

"This point is reasonable, however, there is also what the adult said yesterday, in the future, anyone who is willing to go to sea with the ship, only needs to ship the price of 30% of the goods, the adult personally provides loss insurance, and the loss is all accompanied, the old man thought about it, is this matter to think about again? My lord, this maritime trade merchant ship, a ship of ordinary goods worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, like our large sea ship, a value of more than 20,000 taels of silver, they only pay 30% of the insurance premium, and if there is a loss, we will accompany it, this account is still a little confused, how to calculate it is a loss-making deal! ”
