Chen Yuan refused to look up, and said, "Brother don't coax me, say that you only want to marry me!" Which promising man is not a man with three wives and four concubines? How are you different from them? ”

Hua Xue has long said about this: "Of course I am different from them. Sister, you can think that I am not promising. My younger brother has no ambitions, and I just want to accompany my sister for the rest of my life. It is precisely because of this that my younger brother has always wanted to focus on your sister and form a force to protect my sister, rather than my younger brother forming it himself. My sister should know that since ancient times, there have not been no men who do not have three wives and four concubines. In addition to those who can't afford to marry, and a few good men who are as dedicated as their younger brothers, there is also a group of men who basically have no concubines. ”

Chen Yuan was aroused by his curiosity, raised his head and asked, "There is still this kind of man?" ”

Seeing that Chen Yuan's mood was no longer low, Hua Xue relieved herself and explained, "Of course there is." Sister looks at those princesses and princesses, aren't they basically all from the beginning? Sister, as long as you build up more power, even if your younger brother wants to take any concubines in the future, it is estimated that no one will dare to marry your younger brother. Do you think my brother is thoughtful? ”

At this moment, Chen Yuan knew Hua Xue's purpose of not forming a force in person, and he was immediately moved, and there was only one thought in his heart: "My brother is so good to me!" "I stood on the spot for a while.

Hua Xue saw Chen Yuan's appearance in front of her, and she didn't say anything more, but just admired it quietly.

said that Chongzhen stayed overnight in Suzhou Mansion last night. Because they stayed on the ship for more than ten days, Chongzhen and his party were very tired, so there was no activity that night, and they rested early.

If the prefect of Suzhou changes others, he will have to entrust his wife and daughter, as long as he can coax Chongzhen and get promoted to make a fortune, the golden ticket is not big?

But Chen Hongmi is upright, not to mention what kind of show girls are offered, and there is no arrangement for even a maid to call, and those who are arranged to take care of Chongzhen are a few middle-aged servants.

Not to mention that Chongzhen has never been very enthusiastic about this, even if he changes Meng Degong, who prefers this way, it is estimated that he will not be able to talk about it.

Wang Chengen was a little dissatisfied, but he was only dissatisfied, if Chen Hongmi really found a few girls, he would have to check the eight generations of his ancestors first, and there would be no problem before he dared to let him get close to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen himself doesn't matter. He was raised by his brother and sister-in-law, and his sister-in-law, Queen Zhang Yan, known as one of the five great queens of ancient China, was the first beauty selected from the 5,000 beauties in the national primary election that year. Because I am used to seeing my sister-in-law's peerless appearance, the general vulgar powder is basically completely immune. He is also a righteous gentleman, respecting his sister-in-law as his mother, and there is no transgression. Not to mention that there were no rumors during his reign, even if the Qing Dynasty did its best to discredit the Ming Dynasty, there was no scandal between him and Zhang Yan.

In this regard alone, Chongzhen is also one of the most righteous gentlemen among all the emperors throughout the ages. Or maybe he is the only one who is a decent man? But it may also be because he is too upright and gentleman that he will die in the country.

Early the next morning, Chongzhen, who had rested, was a little dazed, thinking that the stranger Chen Hongmi was talking about was a master who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and he was already ready to visit the thatched house, but he knew that he was a child, and he was very good at talking when it came to helping. Now I am waiting to verify Hua Xue's prediction about the weather, as well as the information sent by Chen Zilong to the "Book of Agriculture". But none of this can be done in a day, and none of them need his Chongzhen to help. In this way, it is equivalent to Chongzhen having nothing to do in Suzhou.

The arranged return boat will take a few days, and the vitality lost by the boat these days also needs to rest for a few days to replenish, and these days can only stay in Suzhou. It's just that since he ascended the throne, there has been little rest in the past ten years, and Chongzhen doesn't know what to do for a while.

When Chen Hongmi came over early in the morning to say goodbye, Chongzhen had already washed up with the help of Wang Chengen and cleaned up. When he saw Chen Hongmi, he asked: "I always hear people say that heaven is heaven, Suzhou and Hangzhou are underground, and Aiqing has been guarding Suzhou for many years, so tell me about the customs and customs of Suzhou?" ”

Chen Hongmi is a capable minister, and has been an official in Suzhou for many years, and he doesn't dare to say anything about Suzhou, but he can also be like a few treasures: "Back to Your Majesty, Suzhou is the richest place in the world, paying taxes over the years, a in the world, and is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with picturesque scenery. However, since the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, Suzhou has also suffered many disasters, resulting in farmers repeatedly losing harvests, and the food and clothing they get are still insufficient, so they can only survive with the old grain accumulated in previous years. So far, most of the farmers have no surplus food in their homes, but fortunately, Fengnian said that this year in Suzhou is not a disaster year, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

After a pause, Chen Hongmi continued: "Suzhou's taxation is first in Nongsang, which was greatly affected by the disaster year. The second is textile, Suzhou embroidery, famous since ancient times. In "Shuo Yuan", it is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Su embroidery has already appeared. Suzhou textile, large scale, large quantity, high quality, the same in the world. A few days ago, Fengnian said to his ministers that the temperature in this world will become increasingly cold, and the demand for cold cloth will increase day by day. Thanks to Taizu's forced promotion of cotton planting, otherwise there would be no enough cotton in the world to keep out the cold. However, because the number of weavers is insufficient, the efficiency of the loom is limited, and a large number of old cotton is not spun every year, which wastes the achievements of Taizu. Feng Nian said that he intended to try to improve the loom and improve its efficiency, at least not without cotton and clothing. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang promoted cotton planting, and there was a lot of opposition in those years, and it was implemented by compulsory measures, and there have always been many criticisms. Chongzhen heard that his ancestors were admired, and he felt that there was light on his face, and his perception of Hua Xue was a little better.

Chen Hongmi also intended to speak well for Hua Xue in front of Chongzhen. He was also afraid that Hua Xue's casual behavior would make Chongzhen unhappy, and the contradiction between the two was small, but once it intensified, whether it was Chongzhen who injured Hua Xue and made the disaster fight less help, or Hua Xue who injured Chongzhen by relying on martial arts, it was not a trivial matter...... Well, if Chongzhen is injured, it will really be a national event.

Although Chen Hongmi is upright, he is not pedantic, in order to ease the relationship between the two, and not against his will, saying a few good words does not violate his principles.

"As for the prosperity of Suzhou, there are two first. One is food, and the other is garden. ”

Although Chen Hongmi said so, he also knew that in addition to these two, Suzhou is most famous for beautiful women. But food, clothing, housing and transportation are the foundation of the people, so talking to the emperor about food and gardens is also considered civil affairs. But if you talk about beauties, you don't want to think about it, throughout the ages, those who offer beauties to the monarch have always been traitors who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and Chen Hongmi has done nothing.
