After the New Year, the time came to the eighth year of Tiansheng, and in a few months, Zhao Zhen and Zhang Rou will be twenty-one years old.

Since Zhao Zhen ascended the throne for eight years, it is basically a smooth wind and rain, and the country and the people are safe. Education is steadily promoted in China, commerce is booming, industry is starting high, and there is no obvious threat abroad. It can be said that this is an era when the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the hundred officials of the imperial court are still living a good life.

Of course, it is inevitable that there will be some small friction at the border, but this is mainly concentrated on the Songxia border.

This is not only the Xia King Li Deming and his son Li Yuanhao coveted the population of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the 100,000 bandits harboring in the mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, and they also regard the border people as their treasures. Sometimes, these bandits caused even more damage to the border people than the Xia people, not only robbing things, but also occasionally making a cameo appearance as a human trafficker to capture the border people and sell them to the Xia people. Of course, they will not be soft on the Xia people either, as long as there are good things, they are indispensable.

Although Zhao Zhen had carried out a nationwide campaign to suppress bandits, the mountain bandits in the Song-Xia border area were not among them. It's not that Zhao Zhen doesn't want to exterminate them, it's just that before the Xia people's problem is completely solved, there is really no way to take them.

However, this time Zhao Zhen received a great news, Zhi Weizheng finally sent the news that the First Army of Beiye was officially formed. For this reason, Zhao Zhen also specially awarded them the number of "Blue Dragon Legion". The Blue Dragon Legion has a total of five corps, each with 20,000 troops, including 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, responsible for logistics support and medical support. Moreover, there is also a cavalry corps among these five armies, with two war horses in each hand, which is the most elite force in the entire Blue Dragon Legion.

The establishment of the Blue Dragon Legion means that Zhao Zhen has a total of 200,000 modified troops (the forbidden army has 100,000), and with them, there is no longer any need to worry about the large-scale attack of the Xia people and the Liao State, and the counteroffensive plan can also be put on the agenda.

Zhao Zhen walked to Zhang Rou's bedroom with a red face and a whistle, and before the meal arrived, he accompanied her to take care of some account books and reports. As the industry becomes more and more, the time she spends on it every month is also increasing, and Zhao Zhen is a little distressed.

Zhao Zhen flipped through the account book boringly, looking at the dense numbers on it that were getting bigger: "Wife, I see that you are almost busier than me now, it is not okay to go on like this, you see that I will hand over the task to the minister to do, or you will also learn from me and find a few people to help you take care of these things?" ”

Zhang Rou put down the account book and stretched her waist fiercely: "Husband, don't say it, I don't know what's going on lately, I always feel that my energy is low and I am very tired!" Maybe I'm so tired that I should find someone to help, or I'll be too busy when the sea is all over. Why don't you get two of your students to use? ”

Zhao Zhen: "Meaningless! I'll go find you a few tomorrow! ”

"By the way, husband, why did you come here so early today, looking at your little blushing appearance, it won't be Sichun!" Zhang Rou took the opportunity to touch his face, and teased with a smile.

"You're just thinking about spring!" Zhao Zhen removed his face from her paws and replied: "I received a few good news today, I'm happy, understand!" ”

Zhang Rou: "What's the good news?" His Majesty the Emperor can you share it! ”

Zhao Zhen will never let go of the opportunity to show off, he sat upright and cleared his throat: "Oops! It's been a big explosion of character recently, and the good news is one after another. First of all, there was good news from the south, and Zhou Dechang and his son lived up to their trust, and they had opened up the routes of the South Seas and were developing other routes. In this way, our silk, tea, and porcelain will have a new market, which will not only make a lot of money, but also allow us to speed up the development of these industries, provide more jobs, and alleviate the disadvantages caused by land annexation.

Not only that, with the opening of these routes, the maritime trade led by our Great Song Dynasty will also become more and more prosperous, and our Great Song Dynasty will also have the opportunity to be a 'sea coachman'. At the same time, we can also pay attention to the development of Western European countries in real time through the eyeliner sent out, so as to make countermeasures.

By the way, wife, when it comes to this, I have a question in mind! ”

Zhang Rou: "What's the problem?" ”

Zhao Zhen: "I took a look at the excerpts they handed over, and most of the things imported by the Nanyang trade were relatively expensive things, such as pearls, tortoiseshell, ivory and crystal. These things are not available to ordinary people, but they are very marketable to high-ranking officials and nobles, do you think you want to use these things to loot the money of those local tyrants? ”

Zhang Rou: "It's not easy! If there are too many goods, you can also join forces with large jewelers around the country to swallow it, and the big deal is that you will also have the whole luxury tax at that time. In other words, find some partners, according to the chain store model to experience, we are responsible for the supply. Husband, think about it, our two big fleets are running all over the world, and who else can collect more treasures than us! ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "It makes sense, then let's do it!" Wife, what do you think of the name 'Jubao Zhai'? ”

"The key is to help us make money, the name is whatever it is! Moreover, I think the most rich people are in the capital, and after the new city is built, I will open a big jewelry store there, and sell the best things collected from all over the world, and make a lot of money! Zhang Rou bit her cheek and said fiercely.

"Wife, look at you like that, drill the eyes of money! In order to save the queen of the Great Song Dynasty from Qian Yanzi, I have to change the subject! Zhao Zhen quipped: "According to the reports of those spies who went to Japan with the fleet of Tianyou Sea Trade Company, the forces on the east and west sides of this little Japanese have been fighting for several years without a decent result. Taira Tadashi often took his people to overlord the Kansai region, and although Minamoto Yoriyoshi didn't beat the Taira clan down, he was very smart enough to rule the Kanto region completely, and even their unlucky emperor was hollowed out. However, these little Japan are too stingy, and they are reluctant to spend money in a war, if only they had more deaths. ”

Zhang Rou: "I think you are not enough to swallow an elephant, doing business with other people on both sides, not to mention making other people's money, you still want people to die more, there are not many people in the little Japanese, that can withstand death!" By the way, I heard that Tibet is also fighting, and the caravans have been affected, so how are they fighting now? ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "One word to describe it, that is chaos!" Originally, according to my idea, it was to support some weapons of the Tuosi Mabu, so that they could teach Li Yuanhao's kid a lesson. Unexpectedly, the situation in Tubo is becoming more and more complicated now, Li Yuanhao did not defeat the Tusi Mabu, but the various tribes in Tubo are in a mess by themselves. Some of their tribes are red-eyed and take advantage of the fire to rob, some are unhappy with Li Yuanhao running to their own territory to point fingers, some want to take advantage of the advantages on both sides, and some hang up neutral archways to fish in troubled waters. Tsk, simply! ”

Zhang Rou: "The soil circle is really messy!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "Who says it's not!" Whatever he does, as long as he doesn't hit our territory, he will go with them, and just do the business that should be done. Let me tell you another good news, the first batch of reorganized armies on our Song-Liao border has been officially completed, I will name them the 'Blue Dragon Legion', and when the remaining troops are all changed, I can gather the four major Divine Beast Legions." What do you think? Your husband and I are very domineering! It's mighty, isn't it? Do you have a feeling of adoration? ”

"Vomit~" Zhang Rou suddenly felt a little sick to her stomach, and retched a few times when it was untimely.

Zhao Zhen: "No! I know I'm a little too much of a cowhide, but wife, isn't your reaction a little too much! I'll put up with it if you vomit, I can't bear it if you vomit a bunch of vomits, I have to clean you up! ”

"Vomit~Vomit~Vomit~"

In response to him, Zhang Rou kept retching.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhang Rou's frowning little face, seeing that her painful appearance didn't look like she was joking, it couldn't be sick, right?

He was in a hurry, and while gently patting the vest for her, he shouted loudly outside the door: "Chunlan, Chunlan, go and ask the imperial doctor to come!" ”

Chunlan outside the door dropped the needlework in her hand and ran towards the hospital.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly poured a glass of water and fed it to her mouth: "Wife, what are you doing!" Wasn't it okay just now? ”

Zhang Rou drank her own sip of water, and stroked her chest again before replying: "I don't know either!" I just thought that I should eat Chinese food, and I was about to cook for you, but I didn't expect to suddenly feel a feeling of nausea! Grope~ It's coming again! ”

Zhao Zhen: "Don't say it, come, sit down for a while and relax!" Why hasn't the Imperial Doctor come yet? ”

"It's coming! Here it comes! Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor is here! As soon as Chunlan's words fell, she appeared at the door with the imperial doctor.

The imperial physician hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The minister sees the emperor!" See the Queen! ”

Zhao Zhen hurriedly said: "No courtesy!" Excuse me! Come and see what's going on with the Queen? ”

"Obey the order!" The Imperial Physician got up and tinkered with it in his medicine box.

"Why don't you hurry up and take the pulse, what are you doing there?" Zhao Zhen was very dissatisfied with his speed, and couldn't help yelling at him.

Imperial Doctor: "Back to the emperor, the minister is taking the silk thread, and the minister will immediately give the mother a pulse diagnosis!" ”

Hang your sister! Feelings: In ancient times, so many royal family members hung up, and they were all hung out by you!

Zhao Zhen cursed in his heart, and shouted impatiently: "Don't put aside those useless things, hurry up and check the pulse, if you can't get it right, see how I clean you up!" ”

"Your Majesty! Pay attention to quality! Zhang Rou glanced at him, stretched out his wrist, smiled and said to the imperial doctor: "Trouble the imperial doctor, let's take the pulse directly!" ”

"This ......" the imperial doctor looked at Zhao Zhen and hesitated.

Zhao Zhen: "What is this!" You are the imperial doctor, you are saving people, there are so many bad rules, don't go and check the pulse quickly! ”

"Yes, yes......" The Imperial Doctor nodded as he bent over to take Zhang Rou's pulse.

The imperial doctor put his fingers on Zhang Rou's pulse, squinted his eyes and deliberated for a while, and then asked, "Niangniang, dare to ask if you have been very tired lately, and you often don't get enough sleep?" ”

Zhang Rou nodded: "That's right, it's true!" I thought it was caused by this bad sleep recently, and I didn't pay much attention to it. ”

"What the hell is going on? Did you come out? Zhao Zhen asked anxiously.

On the contrary, the imperial doctor did not hurry and gave the two of them a big gift first: "Congratulations to the emperor!" Congratulations! According to Wechen's pulse, combined with Niangniang's recent state, Wechen is sure that Niangniang is a broken dragon species. Thank God, God bless me for all generations! ”

"Really?" "Really?" Zhao Zhen asked in unison.

The imperial doctor still knocked on the ground: "Weichen dares to guarantee with the head of Xiangshang, although Niangniang has been pregnant with the dragon seed for less than two months, and the pulse is not obvious, but judging from Weichen's experience in the past few decades, the plan cannot be wrong." If you don't worry, Weichen will call the doctor from the Tai Hospital to take a look at Niangniang! ”

"Good! Go and scream! Let's take a look at the insurance ......."

Zhao Zhen thought that with his wife's knowledge, it was impossible not to know that he was pregnant, so he was worried that this imperial doctor was a quack doctor who misdiagnosed. Although this probability is very low, he also tries to avoid low-probability events.

"Wait!" Zhang Rou lowered her head and pondered for a while, then stopped the imperial doctor who was about to leave: "Imperial doctor, don't bother, this palace believes in your judgment!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "Queen's ......"

Zhang Rou gave him an affirmative look.

"Okay!" Zhao Zhen struggled for a while, but still agreed with her decision, and instructed the imperial doctor: "You go down!" Little Shunzi, take him to receive the reward! ”

"Thank you, Emperor! Thank you! After the imperial doctor thanked him, he happily followed Xiao Shunzi to receive the reward.

Zhao Zhen wrote another note and handed it to Chunlan, and instructed: "Come, take my handwritten message, go to the Royal Research Institute to call Xie Xinran, and let her take care of the queen throughout the process!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid will go!" Chunlan took the handwritten and ran out happily.

After Zhao Zhen took everyone away, he gently stroked Zhang Rou's belly, and said a little incoherently excitedly: "Wife, are you really pregnant?" Am I going to be a father? (To be continued.) )
