Chapter 640: The First Day of the Faint King
Ye Hua was entrusted, not just as simple as the crown prince Guo Zongxun, but a heavy country!
How fortunate to be able to gain the complete trust of the Son of Heaven.
How difficult it is, with a heavy burden of 10,000 catties, Ye Hua subconsciously touched his shoulder, it seems that it is not easy to carry!
"That Your Majesty, I'm afraid I don't have the heart to drink with you today, my brain is a little messy, I need to sort it out!" Ye Hua hugged his head and said helplessly.
"Hahaha!" Chai Rong laughed insolently, "I am really pleased to be able to scare the champion Hou!" If you don't dare to drink, I won't drink it, anyway, there will be days of drinking in the future! β
Chai Rong got up and walked under a persimmon tree, he picked up the bamboo pole next to the tree, poked it gently, a ripe and ruddy persimmon fell from the sky, Chai Rong was quick to catch it, and then threw it to Ye Hua!
The two of them ate a few persimmons, and Chai Rong went crazy again, found an axe, and cut down the persimmon tree.
"When Brother Xing comes back, you will tell him how much it costs to renovate the hidden mansion, and I will give it to him, there is only one, I don't want to see any traces of the past!"
Chai Rong swore viciously that he really had to change his way.
Ye Hua suddenly had a sour nose, "Your Majesty, you can hold on to it, if you can't hold it, you can let the minister bear some of it, anyway, it's the same for whoever carries the infamy, and the minister doesn't care!" β
Chai Rong shook his head slightly, "That's not good, I have already given you the "Teacher Table", if you don't clean up the mess for me, who can help me?" β
Ye Hua stubbornly shook his head, "There are talented people in the country, if we believe that our descendants are not as good as us, doesn't it mean that one generation is not as good as the next?" Your Majesty, not to mention anything else, several disciples of the Chenjiao are still very good. Even if there are some things that your generation and I can't handle, the people behind will do it well...... Don't push yourself too hard! β
Chai Rong sighed, didn't say anything, just pressed Ye Hua's shoulder with his hand, and then turned away.
Ye Hua walked through the corridor step by step, towards his house, with a full moon on his head and a mirror in his heart!
Da Zhou has developed to this day, and the easy things have been almost done, and the next thing is to gnaw bones.
A closer look reveals that many contradictions are unsolvable.
Take immigrants as an example, Liu Chuang has already occupied Luzon, how much economic value this island has, there is no need to go into details, all in all, it is very, very important.
Liu Chuang worked hard to recruit 8,000 people to develop Luzon.
As a result, many gold prospectors arrived in Luzon either contracted the disease or died from indigenous attacks, and even if someone got their hands on the gold, they would do everything they could to return to the Great Zhou and become a rich man.
Coming to Luzon is an adventure, and going back to Da Zhou is life!
This result is not surprising, people go to high places, and now the Great Zhou is the richest, most vast, and best-governed empire in the world. How much attraction does it take for the people of Da Zhou to go to a place where birds don't poop?
Even gold mines have been used to attract immigrants, but they have had little success.
In addition to the concept of relocation, it is indeed too risky to go to sea, and it would be good to have two or three of them come back alive if ten of them go out...... Of course, developing overseas is definitely progress, but the cost is too great, except for cornering, who wants to risk their lives and gamble?
Even the colonial development of the West is mainly based on the exile of prisoners, and ordinary people are not interested!
But is it important to develop overseas?
Of course it's important!
This is something that three-year-old children understand, and there is only one way left when they think about it - forced immigration, forcing ordinary people to pan for gold, to build estates, and to develop land, so that they can achieve results as quickly as possible.
Some people think that since there are interests overseas, why not use inducements?
I have this kind of thinking, but I just look at the problem simply.
Even if Ye Hua, who has experience in later generations, knows that there are many mines in Luzon, he can find gold mines and make a fortune when he takes a few people to the sea? Obviously, it is impossible, the risk of developing new land is too great, and this risk must be borne by the pioneers, and it is impossible for the Great Zhou court to come up with so much strength to protect millions of immigrants, because there is still too much land that the Great Zhou needs to occupy......
Brutal forced migration, bloody looting and massacres, uprooting, stress and resentment...... A wise and merciful king cannot be pushed.
Just like Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall and Emperor Yang of Sui built the Grand Canal...... Only a truly ruthless person can overcome all difficulties and consolidate the foundation of the empire.
What Chai Rong has to do is far more than the two of them!
So he needs to change his image first, lustful and greedy for money, happy for great achievements, reckless and brutal...... Just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years.
Only such an emperor can be desperate to open up new territories, build majestic projects far superior to the Great Wall, and violently destroy all conservative forces.
This is Chai Rong's mission!
As for Ye Hua, what he needs is to make up for the scars left by Chai Rong with all his might, avoid the Great Zhou from falling apart, and then build on Chai Rong's efforts to create an unprecedented prosperous world...... The division of labor between the two people is different, but the tasks are equally heavy, and Ye Hua is worried.
Back at home, Fu San became pregnant again.
gave birth to twins for the first time, Fu San hurt his vitality, and it took almost five years to raise him, and now he is pregnant again, Fu San is still in a very good mood.
"Rare, no drinking?"
Ye Hua smiled bitterly, "I'd rather just drink, even if Your Majesty is crazy about drinking, I admit it!" β
Fu San tilted his head, looked at her husband seriously, reached out his jade hand, rubbed the pimple on his brow, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has given you a problem again?" What do I need to do? β
Ye Hua's eyes widened, he looked at the ceiling, and suddenly said, "I need money!" β
"How much?"
"Lots and lots of money!" Ye Hua said: "I want to help my friend!" β
"Friends? Your Majesty? Fu San said curiously.
"Well, good friend!" Ye Hua said calmly.
"Understood!" Fu San simply said: "I know, how much is needed, just say it!" β
Ye Hua laughed, "It's really good to have a God of Wealth as a daughter-in-law!" Ye Hua said: "In this case, you first take out two million yuan and buy a few newspapers, not to mention anything else, we can't just watch Your Majesty be scolded!" β
"Good!"
Fu San happily agreed, as if it were only two hundred.
Ye Hua's side has just started to act, and Chai Rong has already sold the first step to become a faint monarch!
He left Mrs. Hua Rui directly in the palace, this is enough to make any man fall in love with the woman, she is beautiful, better than the sinking fish and geese, and even has a strange fragrance on her body, she is really a fairy only in Yaochi!
In addition to her outstanding appearance, Mrs. Blossom also has a delicate heart and shocking talent!
"The flag was erected on the king's city, and the concubine learned about it in the deep palace? 140,000 people were disarmed, and not a single man was a man!"
Chai Rong chanted four lines of poetry and couldn't help but slap his hands.
"There is courage, there is resentment! In Yizhou City, if they are all like Mrs., how can I take Bashu lightly! β
Mrs. Hua Rui originally bowed her head to compose a poem, and did not check that there was someone behind her, but Chai Rong suddenly appeared, so frightened that she quickly stood up, and Wanfu said: "The saint praises falsely, and the concubine speaks nonsense, please don't blame the saint!" β
As she spoke, she grabbed the poem and wanted to tear it apart, but Chai Rong took the first step, grabbed her wrist, and took the poem in her hand.
"Madame's masterpiece, how can it be ruined!" Chai Rong smoothed the paper and put it away. Then he said, "Madam, I don't know if I want to write another one?" β
Mrs. Hua Rui's face was gloomy, and she lowered her pink neck and said: "The poem is originally sent by feeling, and the concubine's talent is limited, so please forgive Your Majesty." She owes her body, and she seems to have low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but she is arrogant and awe-inspiring, neither humble nor arrogant.
Chai Rong appreciated it more and more, "Madame, do you know what Meng Chang is doing at the moment?" β
Mrs. Hua Rui's eyes widened instantly, her relationship with Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, was still very deep, and she went into the palace to meet Chai Rong together, but she was left in the palace, and the husband and wife could not meet again!
"Your Majesty, how's heβhow's he?" Madame Blossom's voice trembled.
"Meng Chang? He's fine. Chai Rong blinked and said: "I gave him ten beauties, I think he should be very happy at this moment!" β
Madame Hua Rui trembled, her bright eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she forced a happy face, "The saint's grace and magnanimity will definitely be passed on." β
Chai Rong shook his head, "Madame can't help it, it's just ...... I don't blame you. If you have any ideas, just tell me, if there is anything bad in this palace, you can also modify it immediately, all in all, I will satisfy you! β
While speaking, Chai Rong stretched out three fingers and pinched Mrs. Hua Rui's delicate chin, her skin was as delicate as fat, and it felt so good! Madame Hua Rui was shocked and wanted to retreat, but she didn't think about it, Chai Rong's other hand grabbed her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Madam, there is a shortage of people in the palace, don't miss the opportunity!" He snatched Madame Blossom up sideways and headed straight for the dragon's bed.
β¦β¦
The next day was the day of the early dynasty, and it was unprecedented, and Chai Rong did not go to the court.
This is the first time in many years!
"Ladies and gentlemen, if the saint's body is out of harmony, it will not be sooner, please come back!"
Including the cabinet ministers, they don't know why, but Ye Hua nodded secretly, Your Majesty's efficiency is really high, and this is the role.
Ye Hua wanted to turn around and leave, but found that the old eunuch had stopped Lu Duosun and Shen Yilun.
He handed them two copies of the holy decree, "This is a matter assigned by the saint, please make sure that the two adults implement it as soon as possible." β
Lu Duoxun was in charge of the household department, and after he unfolded it, he found that Chai Rong's request was to widen the Shu Road, and then to build a new palace for Mrs. Hua Rui, brick by brick, must be purchased from Bashu, there must be no mistake.
"Shu Road is difficult, Shu Road is difficult! For the sake of a woman, is it worth it? Lu Duoxun was very sad and angry, he sighed while walking out, but Shen Yilun on the side was even more embarrassed.
"Lu Shangshu, you don't have to worry."
"What do you mean?" Lu Duosun was puzzled.
"Soon not for one woman, but for a group!" Shen Yilun said: "The sage's will to the Ministry of Rites is to select show girls from all over the country, a total of five hundred, more than the sum of previous years!" β
