Economic sanctions against Zhejiang businessmen in Zhejiang will take at least half a year to a year to see results.
On this day, Fang Yuan handled the official affairs of the yamen, and distributed the seeds of two crops and 300,000 mu of hybrid rice to the five prefectures that had been returned to Shun.

Total items of expenditure: 6,650,000 taels.
According to the statistics of the entire accounts, last year's income and expenditure were profitable: 1.2 million taels of silver.
According to the current financial situation, Fang Yuan ordered Jingjie and his entourage to go to Henan and Huguang to gather 200,000 homeless displaced people and bring them to Suzhou Prefecture, 100,000 men and women. Then 20,000 strong people were selected from them and incorporated into the Xuanjia Army, expanding the size of the Xuanjia Army to 40,000.
of these, 15,000 in the cavalry battalion; 15,000 infantry battalions; 5,000 sailors; artillery battalion of 3,000 people; a thousand drone teams; Logistics a thousand people.
On Fang Yuan's balance treasure, the previous amount was six million taels, and the battle of Liaodong cost 500,000 taels, plus the profit of 1.2 million taels, a total of 6.7 million taels.
The construction of the naval base in the Zhoushan Islands was a big project that cost as much money, and Fang Yuan estimated that the construction cost would be at least three million taels of silver, which would almost take away half of Fang Yuan's family property, but he could only grit his teeth and bear it.
Xiao Yuan reported all the accounts to Fang Yuan, and said, "Childe, it is expected that the sales of silk and porcelain in Zhejiang will be opened this year, and the annual profit will increase by about one million taels; If you sell an additional 200,000 mu of hybrid rice seeds, you can make another 700,000 or 800,000 taels. ”
Fang Yuan reviewed the accounts one by one, the courtyard was breezy, and Xiao Yuan thoughtfully put on a silk brocade robe for him.
Fang Yuan looked at the brocade robe he was wearing, the workmanship was quite exquisite, and he also embroidered nine four-clawed golden pythons with gold thread. Pythons are similar to dragons, with four claws for pythons and five claws for dragons.
He is frugal by nature, and his requirements for personal material living standards are not high, especially when he wears this kind of formal gadget, seeing that the brocade robe is embroidered with gold thread, he frowned and said, "Xiao Yuan, this brocade robe is embroidered with gold thread, how much silver did it cost?" ”
Xiao Yuan said in a coquettish voice, "Three hundred taels of silver." ”
Fang Yuan looked displeased, and took off his brocade robe, "This is too expensive, it is Your Majesty's dragon robe, and the gold thread has not been used, this is already the income of twenty households for a year." ”
Xiao Yuan pouted with cherries and said unconvinced, "The emperor has no silver, so it is natural to be frugal." Gongzi set the south of the Yangtze River, destroyed Donglin, won a great victory in Shandong, attacked Liaodong, turned the tide in the past, and made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, these enjoyments are what Gongzi deserves. Zhang Juzheng didn't have the credit of the son back then, and he sat in a sedan chair carried by thirty-two people when he went out, why did the son suffer himself? ”
Fang Yuan slapped the stone table and said angrily, "Xiao Yuan, what are you talking about?" Your Majesty sits on the world, and there are so many gold, silver and jewels in the Forbidden City, if you really want to be extravagant and wasteful, how can there be no silver? Your Majesty is thinking about the future of the Ming Dynasty and is extremely self-disciplined, understand? ”
Xiao Yuan was scolded by him, lowered his head aggrievedly, and his weak body shivered in the cold wind, "Childe doesn't like to listen, I don't say it." ”
Fang Yuan lovingly draped the brocade robe on her body, stroked her pink face, and said softly, "Xiao Yuan, the wall has ears!" From now on, you must not speak freely. ”
Xiao Yuan snuggled in Fang Yuan's arms at this time, and said in a coquettish voice, "With Gongzi to protect me, I'm not afraid of anything, hey!" ”
When the two were intimate, outside the courtyard, after listening to the two of them, Princess Kunxing, who saw the two of them closely, had tears in her eyes.
She embroidered a robe with her own hands and brought it to Fang Yuan excitedly. When he arrived outside the courtyard, he was stopped by the brocade guards who guarded him, and he was not allowed to enter, which happened to catch the intimacy between Fang Yuan and Xiao Yuan.
The palace maid asked in a low voice, "Princess, do we still give brocade robes to the horses?" ”
Princess Kunxing saw the gold python suit sent by Xiao Yuan, and then looked at her silk thread embroidered robe, becoming more and more cold, sighed lightly and said, "No, little worm, let's go!" ”
The two walked out, and the little insect was still unconvinced, "The princess has been nurtured by His Majesty since she was a child, and she is diligent and thrifty, and she is all stitched by herself." Where does that little sao fox have the virtue of a princess, and that python costume is definitely not made by her. ”
Princess Kunxing wiped away her tears and said dishappily, "Little worm, you don't have to say a word, what a little sassy fox, such ugly words." ”
The little insect was still angry, and chattered, "Princess, this is also ugly?" And what about her disrespectful words to His Majesty? Oh yes! Princess, the one I saw before I saw the colt didn't seem to be a python suit, but a dragon robe! ”
Princess Kunxing was slightly shocked, and said unhappily, "Nonsense! Do you see clearly? ”
The little insect recalled for a moment, and said in a firm tone, "The four claws are a python, the five claws are a dragon, and the five claws on that brocade robe are not python suits, they are dragon robes!" Princess, or we will give your Majesty a secret recital, and order Your Majesty to order the order to kill this fox, punish the horse, and breathe a sigh of relief for the princess. ”
Princess Kunxing glared straight at her and said, "Little worm, do you want to even involve the pony?" You must have read it wrong, and you must never mention it again! ”
"Yes, it's the slave who read it wrong!"
The little insect resignedly agreed, and said, "I just feel wronged for the princess!" ”
Princess Kunxing said, "If there is any grievance, I will find a booklet and write it down to the colt one by one, and I will not finish with him in the future!" ”
The two went back to the courtyard arranged by Fang Yuan for Princess Kunxing and her party, and Mama Liang and Xiaodouzi greeted them, and Xiaodouzi said in a panic, "Princess, something is wrong!" ”
Princess Kunxing was stunned and asked, "What's the big deal?" So flustered! ”
Mama Liang said solemnly, "Princess, someone told me that the concubine chanted an anti-poem. ”
"Whistleblowing?"
Princess Kunxing frowned and said, "What anti-poetry?" Read it aloud and listen to it. ”
Mama Liang took out a piece of paper and read it with a stern expression, "The anti-poem of the concubine is, 'There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. It is a pity that the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty are slightly inferior to the literary talents, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Ancestors are slightly inferior to the coquettish, and the generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle. The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present. ’”
Princess Kunxing read it back and forth a few times, only to feel that Fang Yuan's poem was full of pride in the world, which made her heart tremble slightly, "This poem is majestic and written with pride, far better than those Confucians who lecture in the court." ”
Xiaodouzi said in a panic, "Princess, in the poem of the concubine, even the Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Dynasty Song Zu, and Genghis Khan are not taken into account, it is clearly the emperor who regards himself as an anti-poem!" ”
Princess Kunxing scolded, "Little Bean, you are conjecture and slander, the concubine has made great achievements against the Ming Dynasty, and he is even more devoted to his father, since he returned to Jiangnan, it can be seen that he has half a day of pleasure and leisure?" No nonsense! ”
"Mama Liang, who told the secret, this person is obviously ill-intentioned."
Mama Liang whispered, "I only saw this volume of Huang Juan in the courtyard, and I didn't see anyone informing." ”
Princess Kunxing shouted at everyone again, "Whoever told the secret, stand up!" ”
The palace maids and eunuchs were silent.
Princess Kunxing scolded angrily, "Do you dare to tell the secret and dare not admit it?" If you have a clear conscience, what are you afraid of standing up? ”
Xiaodouzi looked at Mama Liang as if asking for help, hoping that Mama Liang would come forward to calm the princess's anger.
Mama Liang thought for a while and said, "Princess, whether the concubine is against the horse, we slaves don't dare to speculate." Since the princess thinks that this is not an anti-poem, let's report it to Your Majesty truthfully, and let Your Majesty judge it? ”
Princess Kunxing did not doubt Fang Yuan's loyalty at all, and she trusted it 100%, so she let Mama Liang go, "Okay, Mama Liang, you write the memo, but I want to attach it to the pon's defense, so as not to let my father know the truth and misunderstand the pon." ”
Mama Liang nodded and said, "Everything depends on the princess." ”
