Chapter 531: Chongzhen is looking forward to it
Emperor Chongzhen learned that Huang Sheng, the governor of Liangguang, had completed the pacification of the South China Sea and recaptured the Xindi of Hainan a year ahead of schedule, and would return to Beijing to report on his work in the near future. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the Dalong book case, Chongzhen has been counting the days in his heart and looking forward to Huang Sheng's coming to Beijing.
Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a slightly relaxed mood, came to Kunning Palace, and Empress Zhou took over with joy, and Lan Shangyi, the son of heaven, came here today and sent a lot of KitKat.
Chongzhen was quite interested today, accompanied the queen to see a few things, and especially liked a few ingenious Western clocks.
This kind of Western clock is not a foreign product at all, but an authentic Chinese-made product. It is a luxury product produced by the "Huaxia Island" watch factory, which is used to earn the silver of dignitaries.
The quality of the Huang family's products has long surpassed that of any Western grandfather clock of the same era, which is entirely due to the world's leading steel output for the Huang family's mainspring production.
After a while, the palace maid sent bird's nest lotus seed soup, which was Emperor Chongzhen's favorite dessert, but Emperor Chongzhen was afraid of spending money and rarely passed it on.
Alas! When the emperor needs to cut back on food and clothing, it is difficult for him. In fact, Chongzhen's character is really good, but unfortunately in troubled times, the country is difficult, and there is no great wisdom and iron fist to turn things around.
Empress Zhou was a little stunned when she saw the emperor and explained: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of bird's nests in the palace now, Lan Shangyi has sent a few loads, if Your Majesty is willing to eat, you can enjoy it every day, and Lan Shangyi will be filial every few months." ”
These things were not specially purchased by Huang Sheng at all, but Guo Huaiyi almost robbed the merchant ships of various countries that came and went for trade, and seized countless bird's nests in South Asia such as Luzon, the Sultanate of Aceh, and the Indonesian archipelago.
Cai'er generously took a few people to send them to the palace, and so surprised too many concubines in the imperial city.
Chongzhen stopped the spoon in his hand and said, "Nan'an Hou Dingding Nanhai must be much easier to obtain the specialties of the south, and it is difficult for him to bother. ”
"Alas! Or Nan Anhou does things to make His Majesty worry-free, he always thinks about His Majesty when he gets good things, and several concubines in his family are also full of human spirits, every time Lan Shangyi comes to the palace, those concubines and palace people are happy as if they were celebrating a festival. ”
"Oh? And what else is there? Why is that? ”
"It's not that Lan Shangyi brings a lot of KitKat every time, wearing, eating, using, and playing, but the rare thing called a towel that everyone gives to wash their faces is something that people can't put down."
Emperor Chongzhen also used the towel, and he also thought it was very good, but he thought it was a bit expensive.
Huang Sheng's wife's diplomacy was too successful, Cai'er was warmly welcomed in the palace, and every time she entered the palace, she was not able to get out until the Forbidden City was about to close the city gate.
A trip must always be comprehensive, you must not leave out anyone, talk in this palace, sit in that palace for a day and pass unconsciously.
Although these women in the palace have no worries about food and clothing, they are as boring as caged birds, because they are bored, they like to play palace scheming, otherwise life is as light as water.
Cai'er has seen a lot of knowledge when she goes south and north, and she has learned a lot of knowledge with Huang Sheng, and she has grown too much knowledge, and the concubines in the palace like to listen to Cai'er tell some strange things.
In the past few months, Cai'er has told a lot of stories about the "Ningjin Victory" in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, which intentionally or unintentionally affirmed the eunuchs who were supervising the army in Liaodong at that time.
Now Emperor Chongzhen once again sent eunuchs to supervise the army, and the court was in an uproar.
The queen and concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics, but they also heard it in their ears and remembered it in their hearts, Lan Caier's attitude towards the eunuchs in the prison army is very important, at least so that the emperor can guess Nan'anhou's opinion on this matter.
Cai'er talked about how to teach Zhao Shu, who guarded Jinzhou, affirmed the merits of the eunuch discipline, and also mentioned that the eunuch who was supervising the army in Shanhaiguan at that time gave help to Guan Qiandao. She was so bad that she deliberately said that she couldn't remember the name of the father-in-law.
Cai'er didn't know which one would pass the story to the emperor's ears and adopt the practice of planting widely and harvesting little, anyway, the concubines liked to listen to stories, so she would tell a paragraph when she had the opportunity.
Cai'er is very smart, not only touching the superstructure, but also giving grace to the palace maid. Of course, you can't give them a reward, that would give them a handle.
As early as the first month to provide them with the opportunity to earn pocket money, the embroidery of the Ming Dynasty is unique in the world, these things are sold to Westerners and make a lot of profits, the Huang family deliberately launched domineering palace embroidery, the grade is high, of course the price will not be low.
The palace embroidery is not a sheep's head to sell dog meat at all, nor is it a gimmick for sales manufacturing, but it is really from the Forbidden City, and the embroidery produced by the Ming court is really extravagant, and the market price is soaring.
There are now two or three thousand palace maids in the Forbidden City who are busy with this work, and even many concubines are tired of it, and there are many people who earn two or three taels of silver a month, and it is not uncommon for some ingenious women to get more than five taels of a month's salary.
Cai'er's orders came one after another, and the palace maids had a lot more money and lived a lot more fully, which made the neutral palace people who were not eunuchs envious, and the eunuchs all had grades and power, of course they didn't care about these wages.
The emperor had already seen Gong'e and concubines earning pocket money as female celebrities, and he liked to see women who were diligent and thrifty, not only did not stop them, but also advocated and encouraged them to generate income, but he didn't know that Huang Sheng was using these little things to infiltrate the palace.
The Forbidden City of Daming has become an outsourcing processing base for the Huang family, is it a big surprise? Huang Sheng not only vigorously supports such outsourcing, but also provides more opportunities for the royal family.
Huang Sheng never prepared Emperor Yin Chongzhen, but hoped that his life would be better, and he would not fight with Emperor Chongzhen's men and horses, step by step, and the gentle orange revolution was very suitable for the national conditions.
Peaceful evolution is the master, reluctantly stepping on piles of Han corpses to ascend to the throne Huang Sheng can ask for peace of mind, Chongzhen, the unyielding emperor, should not betray his relatives and finally hang himself ...... coal mountain.
Huang Sheng is plotting to change all this ....... Step by step, a lot has been done, the economy, food, the army, the bureaucracy, the honorable group, etc., and even the Forbidden City has been infiltrated, developed to a certain scale, and everything has come into being.
It's no wonder that Emperor Chongzhen's image of Huang Sheng always lingers in his mind, because even if he uses the fragrant pancreas to wash his face quickly in the palace, it is related to Huang Sheng, and the palace maids and eunuchs also mention how Nan'an Hou is from time to time.
Chongzhen now knows that Huang Sheng is too rich, although he doesn't understand the economy but he is not stupid, he saw that all the valuable KitKat are the products of the Huang family, and even the tickets for those dramas are frighteningly expensive.
At this time, Chongzhen did not mean to deal with Huang Sheng, on the contrary, he was very satisfied with Huang Sheng, at least Nan'an Hou earned money and knew how to honor the royal family for the first time, and the palace was much more prosperous because of filial piety.
Too many people have watched several new dramas performed by the crew in Jingshi, and the emperor also likes to watch them, but they don't like the drama "Man Jianghong", because Yue Fei's scripts completely planted Yue Fei to Qin Hui.
And this drama vaguely highlights that Song Gaozong was jealous of Yue Fei, and Qin Hui understood that he would create an unjust prison and kill Zhongliang.
Chongzhen uses the emperor's mind to think about the problem, of course, he knows that this is the case, but the emperor is wrong and can't be exposed to the world!
