"Father-in-law, how are you doing? I miss it so much! Looking at Wang Chengen, Chongzhen said with a smile, since Wang Chengen was sent to manage Jinyiwei, there have been fewer opportunities for the two to meet, and the people who will eat together tomorrow are suddenly gone, but Chongzhen is not used to it for a while, but there is no way, there are really not many trustworthy people on hand.

"Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, the old slave is very good, and Gonggong Zhu is also very helpful in forwarding, but it has saved the old slave a lot of things, and now Zhongxingwei can also share his worries for His Majesty, and the old slave is very happy!" Wang Chengen said with a smile.

"Busy and busy, the body always needs to pay attention, and you have to let the imperial doctor check it on time, right?" Chongzhen cared.

"Your Majesty Xie cares! It's all there! The old slaves are all going to check with the elders! Wang Chengen was moved.

"That's good! Now there are not too many things in Zhongxingwei, as usual, when it is time to eat, we will come to the palace to eat together! Chongzhen said with a smile.

After Chongzhen said this, Wang Chengen missed the feeling of home again, since he was sent to manage Jinyiwei and now Zhongxingwei, Wang Chengen has been busy, and the feeling of that family has gradually been forgotten, and now I didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to still think about himself, and his heart was suddenly full of infinite emotion, so he got up and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The old slave obeys the order, thank you for your grace!" ”

"Flat! Flat! Why is this? Chongzhen smiled and helped Wang Chengen up, "Why are you still crying, be careful to let Gonggong Zhu laugh!" Chongzhen quipped.

"Let Your Majesty see and laugh! The old slave is happy! Wang Chengen wiped his tears and said.

"That's it! I'm a little unaccustomed to not having you! Chongzhen said with a smile, then turned his head to look at Wei Zhongxian, who was saddened on the side, and said, "Gonggong Zhu should also come along!" ”

However, Wei Zhongxian didn't know whether he was excited and didn't react, or he was immersed in the past, and there was no reaction at once, Wang Chengen couldn't help but stab Wei Zhongxian on the side, and was stabbed by Wang Chengen like this, Wei Zhongxian came back to his senses, and also learned from Wang Chengen's previous appearance, knelt on the ground and said: "Old slave, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" ”

"Flatten! Now you are all my right-hand men! Chongzhen said with a smile, and then quipped: "I didn't expect Gonggong Zhu to have a gaffe!" ”

"Let Your Majesty see and laugh! The old slave was just excited for a while, and he didn't react at once so that he lost his temper in front of His Majesty! I hope Your Majesty will not blame! Wei Zhongxian said respectfully.

"That's it! So be it! You are different from the princess, either you will go back to your grandchildren for dinner at lunchtime, and it seems unkind to let you go back to reunite with your family during the New Year's holidays! Chongzhen said with a smile.

After listening to Chongzhen's words, Wei Zhongxian was immediately overjoyed and said, "Old slave, thank Your Majesty for your gift!" Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Haha! I've been listening to you shouting for so long, and today I shouted the most sincerely? Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty...... The old slave has always been loyal to His Majesty, sincerely! This heart and earth can be learned from Your Majesty! Wei Zhongxian suddenly said in panic.

"Look at you like that! I'm teasing you, what are you doing so nervous! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty! The old slave can't stand this! Wei Zhongxian patted his chest and said.

"Haha!" Chongzhen smiled, then turned to Cao Huachun and said, "Go!" Tell the Imperial Dining Room to prepare some refreshments! There is also lunch for two more people! ”

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun went out with a smile, looking at Wei Zhongxian's appearance, Cao Huachun would never have thought that the nine thousand years old in the past had become like this now, but thinking about his current master, he really admired it.

Looking at the two people sitting still, Chongzhen turned his head to Wang Chengen and said: "Princess, I summoned you to come here today to ask, this week, Guozhang Tian, as long as they buy tobacco from, where are the channels, do you know?" ”

"Why is Your Majesty interested in this? Could it be that His Majesty also wants to engage in tobacco? Wang Chengen thought in his heart, but no matter what the emperor thought, all he had to do was answer the emperor's question, and after thinking about it, Wang Chengen said: "Back to Your Majesty, as far as the old slave knows, their purchase channels are mainly in Hanzhong, and now the fields over there are no more crops and all tobacco is grown!" ”

"I didn't expect that I was so short of food in Daming, these people don't grow food, but also grow tobacco!" Chongzhen sighed.

"Your Majesty! Jiangnan, known as the land of fish and rice, has purchased this grain from Huguang since it changed rice to mulberry, otherwise there will be a famine in this Jiangnan area! Wang En'en said.

"That's a problem!" Chongzhen held his chin and groaned.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty if you want them to grow all the food back?" Wei Zhongxian asked tentatively.

"I have this intention, but I don't know how to do it, how. Does Gonggong Zhu have a way? Chongzhen wondered.

"Let Your Majesty down, the old slave has no choice for a while, but this is too involved, and now that the country has finally settled down, Your Majesty must not be in a hurry, when you slowly figure it out!" Wei Zhongxian persuaded.

"I want to force a decree on these people to grow food instead! Whoever dares to disobey will be killed and punished by the nine clans! Chongzhen said with a smile.

Seeing Chongzhen saying this with a smile, Wang Chengen and Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, if they really want to do this, I don't know how many people will have to fall to the ground, which is almost no less than a war.

"Your Majesty! Either negotiate with the ministers and increase a tobacco tax to reduce their profits, and when the profits are not as high as the grain, they will naturally grow the grain! Wei Zhongxian thought for a while.

"It's a good idea, it's just a tea tax, a mining tax, what will those Wenchen compete for, and add a tobacco tax? Then this court must be noisy! Chongzhen said helplessly.

"Your Majesty! If you don't send some people to open up a separate place to grow tobacco, and your majesty will send someone to manage it, and the tobacco produced will be sold at a low price, and when everyone who needs it is here to buy it, they will naturally have no profit, and finally have to change to grow food! Wang Chengen thought for a while and said.

"Not bad! You can try it! Then this will be operated by your Zhongxingwei people, and when the time comes, contact Tian Guozhang and Zhou Guozhang, and let the Chamber of Commerce participate together! Chongzhen said.

"The old slave obeys!" Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen said at the same time.

"Your Majesty! Is it possible to do something secretly when the time comes? Wei Zhongxian asked.

"Yes, as long as you can think of it, don't let them know that you did it!" Chongzhen smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.

"But in the end, this tobacco must be controlled in the hands of the imperial court, just like salt, and you must help me fight the previous battle to complete this step!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old slave will do his best!" Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen said at the same time.

"Although Daming looks stable now, there are many uneasy factors, you have to help me keep an eye on it, at present, the main external is the Tartar side, and the internal is focused on the Jiangnan area, if the tobacco action arouses the vigilance of the merchants in the Jiangnan area, it is good to be prepared!" Chongzhen thought for a moment.

"The old slave obeys!" The two said at the same time.

"Your Majesty! Jiangnan also has to change mulberry to rice again? Wei Zhongxian asked.

"Jiangnan doesn't have to, after my Daming Water Division is completed, the export will depend on some items such as silk in Jiangnan in the future, for the time being, and then I will see the situation!" Chongzhen groaned.

"Speaking of Jiangnan, this imperial examination is about to be held, and the various activities over there will be closely monitored, and the situation will be reported in time!" Chongzhen Road.

"The old slave obeys!" The two said at the same time.

"That's all I have to say today, you just need to understand that now I am very short of silver, Daming is very short of silver, and many things will have to be in the hands of the court in the future, and what you have to do is to help me lay a good front!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

Looking at Chongzhen, who had recently fished out an unknown amount of silver, but now he was still crying poor, the two of them were speechless.
