The queen, the mother of a country, is the lord of a house. Yang Zaoer prefers to use "this is my home" to describe the splendid Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City, which has not been renovated for five years, the Imperial Palace, which has not been inhabited for more than two years, although there are still many eunuchs and maids left, but the manpower of a hundred or so people is not enough to maintain such a huge Forbidden City." The front hall is okay, after all, the important ceremony is still held in the Taihe Palace, and the military aircraft department is still in use before the year. But the apse is not good, the overgrown weeds and peeling wall paint all reveal a dilapidated scene. The cold palace, which once confined the place where the concubines who had fallen out of favor, was full of life. Green vegetables, melons and fruits, growing lush, and some chickens and ducks are raised here. Yang Zao'er looked at Kou Liancai, who accompanied her to inspect the house, with a puzzled expression.

This is what the emperor meant, when there was no money to build a new army in the early years, the emperor allocated silver taels from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Later, the number of palace people was abolished, and in the end, in order to save money, the emperor also saw that there was a lot of empty space in the palace, so he wanted to use it. No one lived in this cold palace for many years, so the emperor asked the servants to grow some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks to subsidize their expenses. ”

Kou Liancai's words stunned Yang Zao'er, and they all said that the royal family was rich in the world. However, when it comes to himself, his husband and emperor need to let their subordinates grow their own vegetables and raise chickens to maintain. What's going on? Yang Zao'er endured the doubts in her heart, and sat down and looked at the palace in the Forbidden City that needed to be repaired. When he returned to the main building of Yingtai and Kou Liancai presented the property under the name of the royal family, this question was even greater.

Under the name of the royal family, there are the largest garment manufacturing factory in the Qing Dynasty - Dasheng Garment Factory, the largest pharmaceutical factory - Zhonghua Pharmaceutical, and the largest automobile factory - Dongfeng Vehicle Factory. Four Seas Hotel, a hotel group all over the country...... And so on, and not only that. The royal family also has the largest transportation group in Southeast Asia - Shunfeng Logistics, Asia's largest mineral development company - Asia Mining, and has offices in major cities around the world - Global Power...... These are all independent assets of the Qing royal family, and more are joint ventures with others.

In North Korea, there is a joint venture with the King of Korea at the Maosan Steel Mill, in the Ryukyus there is a joint venture with the King of the Ryukyus White Phosphorus Refinery, in Pontianak there is a rubber plantation in cooperation with the Lee family, in Hawaii there is a joint venture with Lee Eun-bo, and even on the other side of the world there is a sugar cane plantation in Cuba......

Yang Zao'er carefully flipped through the income list. Although the price of Yunnan Baiyao has been slightly lowered at the strong request of various countries, the shipment volume has increased, and the pharmaceutical factory alone has an annual income of more than 100 million taels of silver. Global Power also collected $7 million in royalties last year, and that number has almost doubled every year. Such a huge industry provides the royal family with an annual income of more than 200 million taels of silver, which has caught up with the income of the imperial court, and it is even necessary for the subordinates to grow their own vegetables and raise chickens to subsidize the consumption, what is the situation?

Regarding the expenditure part, Yang Zaoer also looked further back, the more puzzled she became. Because of the need to purchase various experimental equipment and expand the school building, the university hall spends nearly 10 million taels a year, and the royal family also bears the cost of more than 10 million taels a year for colleges and universities in various places. The annual expenses of more than 10 million taels for studying abroad are also borne by the royal family. Yang Zao'er now understands that the students who went to school in the original university not only do not need tuition, but also provide free food and accommodation from here. The emperor's education plan will also extend this free school model to local primary schools, so how much does it cost this year? Yang Zao'er stubbornly continued to look back. The Academy of Sciences needs as much as 60 million taels of expenditure every year, and the cost of paying for the construction of railways and highways last year was as high as 40 million taels, and the Huludao Shipyard spent 20 million taels a year last year, so that the construction of the entire Huludao Shipyard and the four warships under construction are wholly funded by the royal family. The royal family also had to purchase some military supplies for the army, which cost 10 million taels. There are also a few expenditures that are only listed, such as the unit called Northeast Heavy Industry, which takes 8 million taels a year, and the signature is Wu Rongguang, president of the Academy of Sciences. The largest sum was signed by Zhou Qin, and there were as many as 11 million taels. There are six such expenditures in total. The total expenditure was nearly 30 million taels, and there was not even a single word of explanation on the entire account except for the amount of expenditure and the person who signed it.

Yang Zao'er pointed to the account book and asked Kou Liancai: "What kind of money is this?" Why is it not stated? You told me that it would cost a total of 2 million taels to repair the palace building, but now there is less than 1 million taels of silver left in the account. How else to fix it? ”

"Mother, that's what these six expenses have been doing all along. The emperor didn't let him ask, only said that they would reconcile with the emperor separately. It is not necessary to pay the full cost of repairing the palace at once. Instead, repair some and pay for some. Every month there will be an entry in the palace. Other than that. The slave wants to remind the mother. Niangniang is now the queen of our Qing Kingdom, and she has to claim to be the identity of the palace in front of the minions and courtiers. ”

"Oh. I...... Hongu knows. Yang Zao'er put down the industrial and commercial accounts and picked up the agricultural accounts.

"The emperor has 32 million acres of land?" Yang Zao'er was taken aback as soon as she opened it: "Far away, there is an island that is under the emperor's name?" ”

"What does it mean that the emperor has land, it is our family that has land." Guangxu came back from the morning morning to take a nap. Guangxu took off his dragon robe and hung it on the hanger by the door, and after everyone finished saluting, he continued: "Don't look at our family, there are many lands, but most of them are still wasteland and mountains, and there are not many places to produce." And most of them are in the northeast, and there are not enough people to farm. The overseas Guangxu Islands were bought from Japan in the first year of the First Wu Dynasty, and the affairs of this family will depend on you from now on. ”

Yang Zao'er brought hot tea to Guangxu: "Your Majesty, the concubine has just entered the palace, where do you know how to do such a big thing." ”

"I won't go to school, and this family will have to be handed over to you sooner or later. I'll go to sleep first. Guangxu put down the teacup but winked at Yang Zao'er, and said ambiguously: "Why don't you go together?" ”

"Nasty." Yang Zao'er blushed and pushed Guangxu: "The concubine hasn't finished reading yet, the emperor should rest first." ”

In the State Council, the cabinet bigwigs of the Guangxu Dynasty headed by Li Hongzhang were gathering together to drink tea. The major affairs of the country and the dynasty have to be done, but there is no need for these bigwigs to do it themselves, and the officials will naturally handle it when they give an order. Li Hongzhang is now sincerely convinced of the emperor. Don't look at the emperor's age, and he has not been in charge of the dynasty for a few years. But some things are better done than those of them who are older than accidents. Speaking of the layout of the State Council alone, the emperor's secretariat is located in the same compound as his prime minister's office and the gates of the eight ministries. There is a small attic in the courtyard, usually he and the chief officer of the eight departments sit in the small building to drink tea and chat, but whenever there is something in charge of these departments, the matter is done in the chat, and the people are easy and things are done smoothly, just because of the small building that allows the departments to gather together.

"In the past, I was in the military aircraft department in the palace, and I had to run a big circle to do something. The emperor simply gathered everyone together to work, and just said hello to something. Why didn't we think of it before? I really don't know what the emperor is thinking in his head. "Sun Jianai may be the most insightful. Although there are occasional disputes, as long as there is no group of Qiu Ba, it is not a matter.

"Master Sun. He spoke ill of me behind my back. Guangxu just approached the attic when he heard someone in the attic talking about him, so Guangxu said jokingly, and said hello to everyone in the State Council: "Good afternoon, everyone." ”

"Weichen and others respectfully ask St. Ann, good afternoon emperor." Not only the officials and guards who shuttled back and forth, but also the cabinet ministers in the attic, bowed to the emperor one after another.

"Flat, let's get busy." Guangxu put his hands on the back and walked up to the second floor: "Sit down." Generally, you can talk about it here, and some of the secrets of the dynasty need to be discussed, but you can't ask here, you guys should pay attention to chatting here. That's right. What were you talking about? ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers are still measured." As the first and auxiliary ministers, he naturally had to reply first. Li Hongzhang was in a good mood, since the queen entered the palace, the emperor's violent spirit suddenly disappeared. It's like never there. This morning, Li Hongzhang also tentatively asked the emperor to arrange the candidate for the governor of Huguang as soon as possible, but he didn't think that the emperor had no intention of losing his temper at all. It is only said that this matter will be discussed with the ministries after the court meeting. After the court meeting, the emperor really summoned him and Sun Jianai separately and explained to them why the governor of Huguang was not arranged. It is the idea of abolishing this level of administrative unit and preparing for the provinces to be directly accountable to the Prime Minister's Office in the future. Let's take the Huguang pilot first. This is to strengthen the power of the Prime Minister's Office, and as long as he takes care of the affairs of these two provinces and is ready for the complete abolition of the post of local governor, will his hand be justified in the future? In this way, can Li Hongzhang, as the prime minister, not be happy? So in the face of the emperor's inquiry, he replied happily and said: "Weichen and others are discussing the issue of imitating the system of the great powers and establishing the Ministry of Posts and Communications. ”

As soon as he heard this, Guangxu's face immediately pulled the elder: "I said why do you always worry about the property under my name." Now these are the queen's final say, and you can discuss with the queen yourself. Don't look at me, if the queen agrees, I will be fine. ”

After Guangxu finished speaking, he went downstairs and left, but the elders upstairs laughed happily, they thought that it was not a problem to move the queen. The emperor's violent spirit is gone, the country is extremely calm under the shock of the royal army, and the emperor can also listen to the opinions of all parties on matters requested by various ministries, and the implementation of various policies is also very smooth. Everything is moving forward at a high speed within the country, and everything is developing rapidly for the better. Except for the Japanese fleet, which is now heading towards the Far East.

As the sun began to set, the ministers and officials who had finished their day's work took their leave and went home. Guangxu also stepped down from the sunset and returned to the main building, and the emperor and queen who had finished dinner also bathed and returned to the room early.

The spring breeze stops, and after the love. Yang Zao'er crawled on Guangxu's chest, a finger like onion and jade drew circles on Guangxu's chest, and the tingling sensation caused by the finger crossing the skin made Guangxu reflexively press Yang Zao'er under him.

"Don't-" Yang Zao'er pushed Guangxu aside, and then gently crawled on Guangxu's chest and gently drew a circle: "Today, Kou Liancai handed me a secret book." Your Majesty, where did the three hundred tons of gold in the Forbidden City dungeon come from, there is no explanation in the secret book. In addition, there are six small towns like Ming Tombs Town, why are they also classified in the secret register? I asked Kou Liancai, and he said that's how you decide. If you think that concubines shouldn't ask, then you don't say it. ”

"You are the queen, and you are the mistress of this family, you should know these things. It's just that I didn't tell you in advance that I was a husband or not. Guangxu hugged the jujube in his arms tighter: "A town like the Ming Tombs is not an ordinary town, it is the most cutting-edge scientific and technological research and development center and manufacturing center in the Qing Dynasty. Including the Guangxu Islands, which are said to be royal private gardens, in fact, they are also the Navy's research and development and testing units. China is weak and needs to stand up again, and it cannot only rely on purchasing weapons from abroad, only when all the weapons and equipment of the army can be domestically produced and ahead of the other powers, so that China can be regarded as a real rise. These places are inhabited by people who are not ordinary people, who have moved to these towns in the name of retiring from the army, and are actually tasked with guarding these secret lands. Therefore, these people still receive military salaries, but for the sake of secrecy, their military salaries cannot be taken into state accounts, so they are assigned to the private accounts in the palace. As for the source of gold in the basement, it is Alaska, where there is a secret mining plant in the Qing Dynasty, which is now in charge of Li Enfu. Not only here, but Li Enfu also sent exploration teams to Australia and South Africa at my behest. ”

"Then how do you deal with these things?" Yang Zao'er stopped drawing her fingers in circles, which involved too much, so big that she didn't know how to deal with it.

"Gold is a preparation for the expansion of the country's currency issuance in the future, and the military factories, ports, shipyards, military towns, and scientific research institutions under the name of the royal family cannot always be in the hands of the royal family, and sooner or later they will be handed over to the imperial court. Not only that, but heavy industries such as Asian mining may also be handed over to the imperial court in the future. At present, there is no way to put them in the name of the imperial family, if these units are established and managed by the imperial court, then the bureaucracy or the related households will definitely not be able to prohibit it, which will not only reduce the efficiency but also risk leakage. Only when it is placed in the name of the royal family, then can it operate in the safest and most efficient way. At the moment, Xiao Gui Cao follows, and nothing needs to change. ”

"Then the concubine will understand."

"No, you don't understand." Guangxu laughed treacherously: "I am the emperor, and the ministers can use the name of the righteousness of the world to ask me to hand over these units to the imperial court for free, just as they want to reorganize Shunfeng Logistics into the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and I can't refuse this reason." But now it's different, I have you as the queen, and as long as these properties are in the name of the royal family for one day, they will be under your control. The righteousness of the world is good to me, but not to the queen, after all, the queen's main responsibility is to manage the royal family, as for the mother of the world, it is more of a ceremonial aspect. At that time, you can play tricks, cheat on your bills, and even make trouble without reason. As a parent, you must always save some money for your children. Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

"The emperor's words are right, but the concubine must be the queen. If the ministers really want to talk to the concubine about the righteousness of the world, I am afraid that the concubine will have no reason to refuse. At least when it comes to the military, I'm afraid it won't be retained. ”

"Not necessarily, now the army of the Qing Dynasty is in the name of royal."

Guangxu's words woke up Yang Zao'er, and Yang Zao'er couldn't care about her **'s upper body and sat up suddenly: "That means that as long as the concubine body works well, it is possible that none of these units will be returned to the imperial court at that time?" ”

"Possibility...... It looks like it's a little bigger. Guangxu opened his mouth and looked at a pair of red cherries on the two snow-white peaks, and his saliva flowed out, and he swallowed his saliva very hard: "Wife, let's do it again." After Guangxu finished speaking, he took a bite. ("China Sky" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 1oo% lottery gift for everyone!)
