Lu Chengqi was stopped by Zhou Zhiruo, but he couldn't swallow that breath! The abhorrence of human traffickers, Lu Chengqi feels that it is even more damning than any heinous crime, it is simply a cancer that destroys social stability, and it must be removed!

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, how can you be so arrogant? The concubine just has this kind of suspicion, and there is no real evidence......" Zhou Zhiruo persuaded and shook her head. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Lu Chengqi heard this, he also suppressed his anger slightly, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, sat down again, and said: "Zitong is right, I don't know the real situation yet, even if I am in a hurry, it is useless. It seems that my self-cultivation is still not enough, and I have to strengthen it again! ”

Zhou Zhiruo covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty understands, it's good!" ”

Lu Chengqi said embarrassedly: "Let's finish dinner first......

Before the words fell, Zhou Zhiruo "warned" him and said: "If Your Majesty picks up vegetables for your concubine again, the concubine will ignore you!" ”

Lu Chengqi's trick to resolve the embarrassment was recognized, he laughed twice, picked up the bowl by himself, and seemed to treat the rice as a human trafficker, eating it in one gulp. After a short time, Lu Chengqi, who turned anger into appetite, finished the third bowl of rice, and at this time, Zhou Zhiruo, who was slow to eat, finally ate her bowl of rice.

In the process of eating, Lu Chengqi already had a plan in his mind, and when Zhou Zhiruo wiped his mouth clean with a silk handkerchief, he said slowly: "Kuizhou Road, Zizhou Road, Guangnan Road and Fujian Road are all located in the south, and it is difficult for the imperial court to reach. If you want to search, you have to rely on the Inspection Department. I have a plan, don't startle the snake first, pretend not to know anything, and investigate secretly......"

Zhou Zhiruo listened, and used another silk handkerchief to gently wipe off the oil stains on the corners of Lu Chengqi's mouth before saying: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know, those abandoned children have all been discounted, and the methods of those traffickers are extremely cruel. If it continues to be consumed, the children who are afraid of being harmed by the concubines will increase more and more! ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned, and the anger that he had finally suppressed suddenly came out again: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable!" Is there still a royal law, and is there still a law? Is it true that I am blind and deaf, and the whole Dashun is allowed to be plagued by these scumbags! ”

Zhou Zhiruo saw that Lu Chengqi's anger came up again, and hurriedly helped him sit down, and said angrily: "Your Majesty! ”

Lu Chengqi knew that he was out of shape, but when he was angry, how could he restrain his emotions? If it weren't for Zhou Zhiruo's presence, I'm afraid he would really have to vent fiercely.

The imperial kitchen and eunuchs and palace maids outside the imperial dining room heard Lu Chengqi's faint roar, and couldn't help but be grateful to Zhou Zhiruo, if it weren't for the queen's righteousness, I am afraid that they would be the ones who would be scolded. Grateful to grateful, I am still a little worried about the queen in my heart, the little emperor's temperament is so perverse, and only the gentle Zhou Zhiruo can stand it.

Zhou Zhiruo persuaded in a soft voice: "Your Majesty's anger is also useless. The concubine had already ordered to go down and treat the abandoned children as much as possible. However, they have been injured for a long time, and the possibility of recovery is very small. Concubines can only do their best and obey the destiny of heaven......"

Lu Chengqi always felt that there were shareholders blocking the west in his heart, and he couldn't be happy. Hearing Zhou Zhiruo say this, he suddenly said: "Zitong, did you say that I was a bit of a failure to be the emperor?" ”

It's no wonder he asked, recently, water thieves, pirates, and bandits have been overwhelmed, Goryeo has fallen out with Dashun again, corrupt officials seem to be showing signs of re-emergence, and the Supervision Department is also getting a little more and more deviant...... Now that this matter is on the table again, Lu Chengqi's anger, helplessness, and self-sorrow are mixed together, and he can't help but start to doubt himself. People are always fearless if they don't know, and the more they know, the more bound and awe-inspiring they are.

Zhou Zhiruo, who is good at observing and reading faces, knows that Lu Chengqi has already doubted himself at this moment, and if he does not guide him well, he is afraid that he will ruin a generation of emperors. She thought about it seriously and gave an affirmative answer: "No, Your Majesty, you are the most wise and martial emperor of our Great Shun Dynasty since Wenzong!" If you think about it, you have only been on the throne for more than two years, and you have governed the Dashun Dynasty in an orderly manner, the treasury is full, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and even foreign enemies have been defeated by you. If you fail to be the emperor, then wouldn't those Ming monarchs of all dynasties be ashamed to death? Your Majesty, you're a little bit obsessed. Although the concubines don't understand the truth of governing the country and the country, they also know that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and they can't come in a hurry. Your Majesty has not yet reached the weak crown, and he has achieved this achievement, and in time, he will definitely be able to leave a name in history! ”

Zhou Zhiruo seemed to say a lot, but in fact, she didn't say anything important. But Lu Chengqi just ate this set again, and thought down Zhou Zhiruo's train of thought: "Yes, the coming day is long, what am I anxious about?" If I can live for another forty or fifty years, I will definitely be able to bring China on the right track. ”

Thinking about it like this, Lu Chengqi figured it out. People are not afraid of drilling the tip of the horns, but they are afraid that they don't know how to quit after drilling the tip of the horns. Lu Chengqi, who stabilized his mind, returned to the demeanor of the emperor in the past, and after some thought, he said slowly: "Zitong's words, I have been taught. It is true that this south is a place beyond the power of the Dashun court. But in time, I have developed the south, so why worry that the south is not prosperous? At that time, the people will be stable, and there will be no more tragedies in the world, such as the sale of children and daughters. ”

When he said this, Lu Chengqi thought to himself: "More than 900 years later, an old man drew a circle by the South China Sea and achieved a miracle in China. I am not inferior to him at the moment, I draw a few circles, is it not as good as that great man! The opening of the sea outlet and the opening of commercial ports will naturally drive the economy. From the coast to the mainland, it is another Jingzhao Mansion! By the way, the construction of the new warship has not yet known where to build a dock, isn't this the right time to set the mark! ”

Zhou Zhiruo said: "The concubines don't know how to govern the country, Your Majesty has the idea." But the concubine must remind His Majesty that this Jiangnan area is vast and sparsely populated, full of miasma, and many places are still wild. In addition, there are many natives, and it is not easy to trade. Although it belonged to Dashun, the imperial court was not well controlled. If this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid of internal trouble, and I hope that Your Majesty will think twice. ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned, he was not very impressed by the south, but he remembered that he had learned in the history books that during the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Zhao dynasty moved south to Lin'an, which brought the technology of the Central Plains into the south and promoted the growth of the south. Unexpectedly, now, he is also facing this problem.

Lu Chengqi thought a lot for a while, but he still felt that there was no other way than to quickly bring up the southern economy by opening an outlet to the sea and increasing the number of commercial ports. Of course, the agricultural potential in the south is huge, and Lu Chengqi will not fail to see this. In the era when the three eastern provinces were still under the control of the Liao State, the south was an important grain-producing area that could be developed in the Central Plains.
