Chapter 140: Success is due to diligence and thrift, and failure is due to luxury

The New Year is approaching, and the Shu Palace has gradually become busy, and those maids and chamberlains are running back and forth, making the New Year's flavor in the solemn palace more and more intense.

Outside the hall, the slightly dim sky, makes people feel a little depressed, not long after, there is a little white hair appeared, very light, very light, from the high altitude out of sight slowly fell to the ground, the white color is retained, this seems to be a life.

There were more and more white feathers floating in the air, and before long, everything in his eyes was covered in silver.

As the saying goes, "Ruixue is a good year", at this time, in the study, next to the red stove, Liu Chan is also looking forward to the smooth spring ploughing in Hanzhong next year.

In the heavy snow, an internal attendant trotted briskly in the snow, came to the door of the study, gently called Huang Hao out, and respectfully whispered a few words in his ear.

Nodding slightly, motioning for someone to go down first, Huang Hao immediately pushed open the door of the study, tiptoed in, and then closed the door of the study to ensure that there was no air leakage.

By the stove, after reading for a long time, his neck was a little stiff, and his entire upper body was a little tired, Huang Hao consciously walked behind Liu Chan and gently pinched his shoulders with that skillful and expert-level technique.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Jiangdong agreeing to our request, as long as we are sincere, they are willing to formally form an alliance with us before the year!"

Liu Chan, who closed his eyes and enjoyed it, said lightly: "There is another big event settled!" ”

In 223 AD, it was undoubtedly the most difficult year for Shu, in this year, since the ancestor Liu Bei left the world, many problems followed, fortunately, he finally survived, the only regret is that the rebellion in Nanzhong has not been solved for a long time!

It may be because history is too stingy with pen and ink for the rebellion in Nanzhong, Liu Chan did not pay too much attention to the Yunnan clan Meng Huo, the rebel generals Yonghong, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding, but although he did not pay attention to it, Liu Chan also knew that the Pingnan Rebellion was cumbersome, and there were many poisonous springs and poisonous insects in Nanzhong, and the terrain was even more strange.

"Do they have an answer to the iron ore?" Putting away the bamboo slip in his hand, Liu Chan said a little lazily.

"Your Majesty! All agreed! 1,000 tons in January, waterway to Wuxian County, and then transported to Shuzhong by dry road after our port took over! However, due to the recent cold winter, the climate is cold, the river has formed a thick layer of ice, and the waterways are different, so the Jiangdong side plans to wait for the land to warm up next year, the river surface will be dissolved, and then the first batch of iron ore will be replenished, or transported with the next batch! ”

"Let them hold on!" Liu Chan waved his hand.

"No!"

Suddenly thinking of something, Liu Chan said with interest: "Is there any arrangement for this year's Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

"The Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner has begun to be prepared by the Internal Affairs Office, this is the first year of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the Internal Affairs Office will definitely prepare carefully and will not disappoint His Majesty!"

"Having said that, due to the economic crisis in Shuzhong during this time, I haven't been to the queen for some time! Say that you owe her a name, and pay it back at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so that the Internal Affairs Office will not forget! Thinking of getting the graceful figure, the corners of Liu Chan's mouth couldn't help but show a very meaningful smile.

"The slave and maid must give good orders and let the Internal Affairs Office handle it properly!" Huang Hao agreed with a smile on his face, this matter should be put in the first place, after all, the Zhang family is the future queen, if the matter is not satisfactory and offends the queen, he is afraid that he will be unlucky.

"Let's go, it's time to go to the future queen to sit down, you can't snub the beauty!" Liu Chan got up and smiled.

Fengque Palace

A woman in a long dark red dress was kneeling in the middle of the temple, seemingly fiddling with needlework in her hands. Looking closely, you have to see the woman's appearance clearly, it is an almost perfect peerless face, the eyes are clear, the face is like a peach blossom, the eyebrows are like willows, the cherry-like mouth is not dotted and red, and the skin is as white and tender as snow.

There were two maids beside the woman at the same time, but the two maids seemed to be a little unhappy.

One of them even said a little unruly: "Miss, you have always longed to be able to ride a horse, where are you doing these things here!" ”

lived in Fengque Palace, and gave birth to such a beautiful woman, her identity is self-evident, naturally she is Zhang's, and she is also the only woman in name of Liu Chan.

Zhang's smile was flattering: "You Nizi, if you are bored, go out and play by yourself!" ”

"Miss!"

Putting away his smile, Zhang's expression was a little solemn: "Actually, it's nothing if you get used to it!" I used to be a little more active, but now that I'm quiet, I don't find anything bad. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know to come and see Miss, Miss is the only hostess in this palace, I really don't know what this Majesty is doing all day, since the triumphant return, I have only been here a few times! I can't be angry for Miss! ”

"Okay, it's not easy for him, after entering the palace, we lost our freedom, he is actually the same as us, he also lost his freedom, many things have been fettered, and he can no longer do it at will, and since the first emperor went, the great responsibility of Shuzhong fell on him, and now Shuzhong's economy is unstable, he is naturally busy, don't you two often sneak out to see, recently he has been buried in the study, and there are ministers in and out from time to time."

"Xiao'er, next time you can't speak ill of Your Majesty behind your back!"

"Oh? Someone is saying bad things about me? A clear voice came from outside the door, and then the door of the hall opened, and Liu Chan walked in with Huang Hao, with an extremely good-looking smile on his face, and his temperament was awe-inspiring.

Seeing His Majesty's sudden arrival, the Zhang family and the Fengque Hall had different expressions, and they knelt down and saluted after being stunned for a while.

"Concubine, I've seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

"Actually, you and I don't need these common rites in private." His hands were gently placed on Zhang's slender wrists, and the beautiful woman kneeling on the ground was gently lifted.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Seeing that Zhang's attitude was so resolute, Liu Chan didn't insist anymore, but just shook his head with a wry smile.

Sitting down in the hall, Liu Chan's nose twitched slightly, turned his head and glanced at the stove where a wisp of smoke was floating at this time, and immediately scolded Huang Hao: "Huang Hao, what are you doing!" She's the future queen! Give her this kind of charcoal fire in winter? Such a big smoke! ”

When Huang Hao heard this, he hurriedly clasped his knees on the ground, and kept kowtowing: "The slave's fault!" ”

"Your Majesty, at this time, regardless of the matter of the Huangmen Order, it was the concubine who specially instructed the Internal Affairs Office to use these charcoal fires, in fact, the old carbon and the new carbon, the good carbon and the bad carbon are burned the same, at the beginning it was a little uncomfortable, and it was good to get used to it, I Shuzhong is building a new factory this year, and the economy is unstable, the treasury is afraid of huge consumption, the world is in turmoil, rather than wasting resources, it is better to save a little for military supplies!"

The daughter-in-law who will live a life is relieved, and when she stepped forward, Liu Chan did not speak, but just hugged the beauty in front of her tightly: "I've suffered you these days!" ”
