Chapter 1313: A long absence is better than a new marriage
readx; Stay on a rainy day, why not leave people in the snow? In the East Warm Pavilion of Kunning Palace, Zhu Youzhen comfortably soaked in the warm bathtub, only to feel that the cold and fatigue between his limbs and hundreds of bones were expelled from his body little by little, and he could even forget all his troubles for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info and Queen Rui'er retired all the palace maids, only wearing obscene clothes to serve him in person, with light fingers and steaming, even if it is a fairyland!
After bathing, Rui'er carefully dried Zhu Youzhen's body. Zhu Youzhen took this opportunity to look at his wife, only to see that her eyebrows were lowered, her face was shy, and her shy and lovely demeanor was no less than when she first saw her. Especially when touching sensitive parts, he was even more cautious, and the strength in his hand seemed to be nothing, and Zhu Youzhen instantly skyrocketed several times.
At this time, Zhu Youzhen threw the fatigue of the journey and the tiredness of staying up late to the clouds, picked up Rui'er by the waist, and the two fell the dragon bed together. After the raindrop-like kiss, Zhu Youzhen was waiting for a long drive straight in, and suddenly saw a crystal teardrop hanging on Rui'er's eyelashes, and hurriedly kissed it gently, and smiled in surprise: "What's wrong?" Is it because your husband is too rude and hurts you? ”
"No," Rui'er said with a smile, "It's Rui'er who misses long live it too much." I was looking forward to Banzai coming back every day, but I didn't expect Banzai to really come back, Rui'er was like in a dream, and I felt a little unreal..."
Zhu Youzhen also said emotionally: "I owe you too much for my husband." Isn't it back now, let you feel it well, whether it's true or not! ”
After a while, Zhu Youzhen was tired and satisfied with Rui'er, and finally fell asleep. As the saying goes, "a little don't win a newlywed", although there was also Mei Jian sleeping during this time, but because of Mei Jian's low status, there was always some "bending to welcome"; Rui'er is different, the two are husband and wife who share hardships and hardships, not only have they already blended together, Zhu Youzhen even feels that Rui'er is more unrestrained and enthusiastic than in the past, and her body contains endless and forever fresh charm, attracting herself to explore again and again. Even until he fell asleep, he was still reminiscing about the wonderfulness of what he had just done...
When he woke up, Zhu Youzhen lazily stroked Rui'er's hair and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"Hooray, it's three o'clock in the hour." Rui'er replied softly.
"What?" Zhu Youzhen was startled and sat up suddenly. Since he came to Kunning Palace at noon yesterday, he had slept for nearly twenty hours! Although this great awakening is very relieving, but there are still so many tricky government affairs waiting to be dealt with, how can you indulge in the gentle countryside?
But just as he was about to put on his shoes and go to the ground, Rui'er suddenly hugged her tightly from behind, and begged in a coquettish voice: "Long live, it's not time to go to the court yet, isn't it good to accompany Rui'er for a while?" ”
"Why don't you want to be a husband, it's just that it is urgent to solve the food problem, and the husband is anxious!" Zhu Youzhen hugged Rui'er and coaxed, "Don't worry, after returning to Beijing for my husband this time, I won't go out on patrol for a long time, and we still have a long time as a husband and wife..."
"But in the next few days, long live the sisters' service!" Rui'er said as she spoke, her beautiful eyes were covered with a thin layer of tears, "Rui'er begs for long live, I'll accompany others for a while, okay..."
is the so-called "the most difficult to accept the grace of beauties", even if Zhu Youzhen is hard-hearted, how can he refuse Rui'er's excessive request? Although this time was not long, it was more violent, and Rui'er was more active, just like she was afraid that she would lose Zhu Youzhen at any time, which caused Zhu Youzhen to feel a little inexplicably sad.
However, Rui'er became cheerful again, served Zhu Youzhen with a smile to change her clothes, and whispered mysteriously: "Long live, Rui'er has a hunch that she may be able to conceive a dragon seed this time!" ”
"There will be bread, there will be milk, everything will be fine." Zhu Youzhen also joked, "But this is the result of our husband's and wife's hard work,..."
"Rui'er knows what Banzai wants to say," Rui'er interrupted him with a smile, "You always refuse to believe in the Buddha!" Okay, let's go to the court, don't keep the ministers waiting too long. ”
The focus of this meeting is still the food issue. Cabinet minister Wen Tiren took the rare initiative to make a suggestion: urgently increase the payment, especially for areas that have not suffered from war, of course, mainly Jiangnan. His reason is very sufficient: The grain in the north, especially in the Jingshi region, has reached a very dangerous situation, and if it is not increased, I am afraid that there will be a large-scale incident of starvation to death, and it is more likely to provoke a popular uprising, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
But not surprisingly, this suggestion was fiercely opposed by Donglin officials. Their reasons are also very high-sounding: first, the normal taxation in the Jiangnan area plus the "three salaries" is already very heavy; Second, silver is commonly used in private levies, but now the imperial court lacks rice; Third, the rebellion has not yet subsided, grain transshipment is not easy, and distant water cannot quench the thirst of the near.
These are indeed practical difficulties, but when asked what good ideas the Donglin Party has, they couldn't say anything, so they went around and around, and finally asked Zhu Youzhen to use internal funds to buy private grain stocks at a high price, and at the same time open a warehouse for relief. Although Zhu Youzhen didn't say it, he thought in his heart: If he really does this, not only will he consume a lot of internal silver, but more importantly, grain prices will inevitably skyrocket, and the stability of grain prices that he has worked so hard to maintain for several months will collapse in one day. As for his own strategic reserves, he has long been targeted by these officials, and they want to take control away from them. Joke! That's the life-saving capital that Zhu Youzhen has saved after several years of painstaking operation, how can he let these mediocre officials control it!
In the end, Zhu Youzhen did not adopt Wen Tiren's suggestion, but only introduced two temporary measures. The first is to reduce the quota of food rations for refugees, so as to survive the harsh winter. Second, the rations of the soldiers of the Beijing battalion were greatly reduced, and various battalions were organized to go into the mountains to carry out large-scale hunting operations. This is also a way to no way, on the one hand, it is to tighten the belt, on the other hand, the Jingshi reaches Yanshan in the north, and the Taihang Mountain in the west, the ecological environment in this era is much better than after a few hundred years, and there are still many wild animals in the mountains. Although there is a slight suspicion of "drying up and fishing", but under the burning eyebrows, there is not so much care.
The only piece of gratifying news is that Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and president of the Foreign Affairs Academy, reported that many countries and groups in Europe have recently transmitted news through indirect channels such as missionaries, hoping to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the Portuguese ambassador Anna also wanted to see Zhu Youzhen, but because Zhu Youzhen was not in Beijing, she had to give up.
Zhu Youzhen came to his senses as soon as he heard it, because he must have wanted to borrow money from Portugal and other countries before, and now he has a response. Thinking of this, Anna, Qiu Lina and Li Xiangjun, three beauties with different looks and postures, appeared in front of them, and immediately couldn't wait to say: "After the dispersal of the dynasty, immediately set up the Foreign Affairs Academy!" ”
