Compared with other concubines, Blue Smoke has better economic conditions than all other concubines.

Because of his relationship with the princess of Shu, her father became a wealthy man second to none in Shu.

The early death of her parents and the young age of her two younger brothers also gave her control over the family's finances. At least in terms of money, she never had to worry about anything, because she controlled much more money than the average family.

Although this basic condition can't add any charm to her, at least, she can enjoy the life she wants to live in the palace.

Nowadays, there are not many salaries in the palace, and Zhu Zhanji's concubines, each of whom has a monthly salary, is only twenty taels at most.

Even the princess Sun Xian only has eighty taels a month. This is already the top in the palace, because according to Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, the queen's salary is only one hundred taels, and only the queen mother has one hundred and twenty taels.

Of course, this is just pocket money. In addition, there are four seasons of clothes, personal contacts, palace maids, eunuch rewards, these have regulations, in short, will not let the concubine lose money, but it will never be rich.

Lan Yan is different, her parents left a lot of family assets. She married into the palace, and Princess Shu, as an elder, also divided the family between the three sisters and brothers

。

When she entered the palace, she carried a lot of wealth, which made her life in the palace correspondingly much more comfortable, and also made her supported by many eunuchs and palace maids.

With some of the theories she learned in the book, she also knew very well that she could not maintain a relationship for long just by relying on surplus money.

If she wants to have a stable position in the palace, first of all, Zhu Zhanji's favor, and secondly, her two younger brothers want to fight.

Daming to Zhu Di is the third emperor, although Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated at the beginning that relatives cannot be involved in politics, but this is only according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, not the Ming royal family does not allow relatives to be involved in politics.

Otherwise, how could Zhu Di marry Xu Da's daughter and Zhang Fu's sister. Now that Zhu Gaochi has married Zhang Fu's daughter again, will Zhang Fu be free? Of course not.

Lan Yan has been keeping a close eye on his two younger brothers, only hoping that they can get ahead, which is also good for him.

Because they are still young, one is ten years old and the other is seven years old, Lan Yan's two younger brothers are not like other family members, and they have no chance to meet. They went to the palace to meet their sister and Zhu Zhanji before the New Year, and during the New Year, Zhu Zhanji specially arranged for the two of them to meet in the palace again.

But on the ninth day of the first lunar month, as soon as the ten-year-old Lan Ju entered the palace and met his sister, he mentioned it to Zhu Zhanji.

"Brother-in-law, I'm eleven years old this year, and I want to be able to enter the Young Army to temper myself."

Zhu Zhanji looked at his little arms and legs and couldn't help laughing. "You bastard boy haven't heard any rumors again, even if you want to give your sister a head, it won't be your turn."

Lan Ju shook his head and said: "I didn't stand up for my sister, now my sister, brother-in-law Qin Se and Ming, I can only be happy." It's just that there are only three of my sisters and brothers left in the Lan family, and I am the elder brother, so I naturally have to be sensible earlier. ”

Sometimes, Zhu Zhanji has to admire the people of this era, Lan Ju is only eleven years old this year, and according to the calculation of later generations, he is only ten years old this year.

At this age, he is still a child who doesn't know anything in the next generation, but in this era, he already knows how to support the portal.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji did not directly deny it, he said happily: "I have no talent for literature, so I want to join the army." Brother Shuo is smart and clever, and when he finishes his kindergarten studies, he wants to go to school. ”

Zhu Zhanji looked at Lan Yan and asked, "This is what you taught your two younger brothers?" ”

Lan Yan nodded and said: "The concubines only have two younger brothers, I don't expect them to get ahead, but at least I hope they can help His Highness." Brother Shuo is smart and clever, and now he can make some of his own dolls to please me. The concubine thought that he would be able to study with Ma Di in the future. ”

Zhu Zhanji asked again: "Have you ever told Ma Liangyuan about this?" ”

Lan Yan nodded and said, "Ma Liangyuan and I are sisters now, and she also promised to speak for Brother Shuo in front of her brother." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded, she is a silly white sweet, but Ma Xin is young, both of them are simple, and it is not unusual to be good sisters.

It's just that now the concubines are uniting horizontally and vertically, and in the future, it will be more and more difficult to manage this harem!

Zhu Zhanji seems to have been able to foresee that his future life will definitely not be easy.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Zhanji finally received information from Ji Gang and Zhuang Jing.

Today's Ji Gang has not revealed his identity, and he is thriving in Izumo Province.

But Zhuang Jing has become the most hated person in the whole Dongying.

After the burning of Nagasaki, Zhuang Jing repeated his old tricks in Osaka Prefecture, and this time Toei was prepared, and the effect achieved was far inferior to the first time, but it still caused Osaka Prefecture to suffer heavy losses.

Today, the Muromachi shogunate has offered a bounty of 3,000 taels of gold just to get the head of Shokei.

But Zhuang Jing had already retreated to Tsushima Island, not afraid of the bounty offered by Dongying.

When he arrived at Tsushima Island, Zhuang Jing was about to be restrained by Zheng He, and for a pacifist coach, Zheng He would never allow Zhuang Jing to cause trouble again, so he could only be honest for the time being.

Zhuang Jingyan died down, but Ji Gang has not been idle. Although his current identity can't be too much to do, he didn't waste much time in Dongying.

Taking the opportunity to find a tea plantation in the wild, he has also been colluding with each other, and everything he has done is to find more allies and gain a foothold in Izumo Province in the future.

His goal is to exterminate the Kyogoku family and swallow the Izumo Kingdom.

When he came to Dongying, he found that this place where the central government was in decline and the local princes were intricately affected was his real paradise.

With the support of Zhu Zhanji and the support of the Ming army, it is not unimaginable for him to kill the people of the Jingji family, destroy their ruling structure, and become a local prince.

Therefore, he must not only know how to kill people like Zhuang Jing, in order to develop for a long time, for a long time to rule, he must take another path.

Gather all the people who can be encircled, and then kill all the people who oppose it, and then support the civil forces, plus the support of the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely not a dream for him to be a local land king.

In the past few months, he has actively contacted many local daimyo and reached an agreement with Ashikaga Yoshitsugu, who was suppressed by Ashikaga Yoshiji.

Ashikaga Yoshinori is definitely going to be overthrown because of his opposition to the Ming Dynasty, and at this time, the role of Ashikaga Yoshiji will be very important.

His alliance with Ashikaga Yoshiji allowed him to rule in Izumo Province at least with the support of some of the upper echelons.

Seeing this information, Zhu Zhanji couldn't wait to go to Dongying, because the current basic conditions had been met.

(I'm sorry, I drank too much, so I can only come with 2,000 words first)
