Chapter 15 Slavery
Night.
It's cold.
Kunning Palace.
Yang Gai hugged Queen Zhou's body, there had just been a fierce battle, and he was snuggling and talking about love.
"Queen, your body is getting fuller and fuller, much richer than before."
"Where? Where is it plump? How did I not know it myself? The queen pretended not to know.
"Of course it's here, but where else?" After speaking, Yang Reform held the plump place of Queen Lori in his hand and pinched it hard. The queen screamed. immediately turned over and got into trouble with Yang Reform. Yang Reform took the opportunity to touch and rub oil indiscriminately.
After playing around for a while, Yang Reform said, "Empress, discuss a matter with you." ”
Seeing that Yang Reform was talking a little seriously, Queen Zhou stopped messing around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Queen, I'm thinking about it, I said that I will get you a business, so that I can get you some personal money, what do you think?"
"Money? Your Majesty, why is that? The queen asked very puzzled, if it is an ordinary family or a large family, it is very interesting to find a few people, open a shop, or buy a few acres of land, and keep it for private money, but as the queen of the Ming Dynasty, the mother of the world, also has to make her own money? Who will believe this? Are you afraid of other people's jokes when you say it? I'm afraid the Ming Dynasty can't afford to lose this face.
"Ahem...... Hehe, that's the case, I thought, now that the state affairs are difficult, the household department also asks for silver from my internal funds all day long, so I am afraid that the internal funds are less in and more out, I am afraid that you and I will have to live a poor life in the future, so, I thought, I still want to get you a business, so that you can get richer on hand, and in the future, I will reward the people below with some money or something, so that you will not be short of money, what do you say? ”
"This, Your Majesty, aren't you the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Rich? This, it seems...... There is a faux pas! The queen still said what she was thinking, if the queen did business, the queen would probably be the target of the ministers' attacks, and the ministers would happily run over and slap their faces, and even the queen's seat would not be stable.
"Well, you don't need to come forward, just ask your father or your brother to come forward, just find a few subordinates to be the shopkeeper, just find a reliable person to manage the accounts, hehe...... I have heard that your father is very capable of collecting money, so I want my father-in-law to collect some money to make up for the shortfall of the internal funds, and you also know that I am a very hard ...... the emperor."
To tell the truth, Yang Reform's impression of his father-in-law, Queen Zhou's father comes from some legends in later generations, and it is also related to Chen Yuanyuan, legend, the queen's father spent 200,000 taels of silver to buy Chen Yuanyuan and send it to the palace, so Yang Reform felt that this guy had the ability to collect money, so he felt that he should come forward to collect money.
However, Yang Reform also checked some information, and said that it was made by Concubine Tian's family, anyway, this matter is related to relatives, and Yang Reform has the idea of organizing a group of relatives to rectify the Ming Dynasty scholars.
Yang Gengai plans to organize a group of relatives to brush the "Jiangnan Copy", the base camp of the Ming Dynasty scholars, hoping to scrape some silver from the scholars every year through the hands of his relatives. Legend has it that there are a lot of high-flying relatives in the relatives, and they can just be able to rectify those Ming Dynasty scholars. Of course, the halter is to give these relatives an one. That's why Yang Reform and Empress Zhou talked about it.
"But, your majesty...... Do you really want to do this? Also, why does Your Majesty call himself a 'slave'? If it spreads out like this, it will lose the royal face, and Your Majesty should not give up on himself like this. Empress Zhou comforted and educated Chongzhen.
"Huh...... Alas, the queen, I know, I will pay attention in the future, well, find a time, you let the old man enter the palace......" Yang reformed his mind and returned to the twenty-first century, this house slave, Kanu, car slave, xx slave, is really a slave world! I thought again that when I arrived in the Ming Dynasty, I turned into Chongzhen and became the emperor, but I still couldn't escape the fate of slaves, and I was a slave! It's the best portrayal of myself at present, I'm afraid I won't be able to take off this hat in the past few years. Thinking again, in the 21st century, even if the house slave does not repay the mortgage, the most he can do is to take back the house, if he can't pay on time, what is waiting for him is not the summons and judgment of the court, but what is waiting for him is the rope on the coal mountain...... Yang Reform is speechless.
……
The next day, Yang Gengai slept lazily, exercising too intensely at night, and had to come back to his senses during the day. Yang Gengai got up, dressed, washed, and after eating, it was about ten o'clock, and Queen Zhou's father came. It seems that the queen is still very positive about this matter.
Imperial.
Wanchun Pavilion.
"The minister knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Empress Zhou and his father knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yang Reform.
Although Yang Reform has always looked down on this kowtow ceremony in his heart, thinking that it is the product of castration of people's personality and dignity, and it also comes with a mentally handicapped halo, however, if someone else kowtows to himself, he will be "reluctantly embarrassed", and he doesn't have to kowtow to others anyway, so he will be on it, without a hot-headed, hot-blooded young man, and abolish this kowtow ceremony.
"Father-in-law, get up quickly, family, don't have so many rules." Yang reformed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." The queen's father was happy and immediately got up. I thought to myself, why is Your Majesty so good to me this time, calling me my father-in-law? I've never been so kind before!
"Father-in-law, come, sit down, I have something to discuss with my father-in-law."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Thank You, Your Majesty." The queen's father sat on the small stool opposite Yang Reform again. As for whether it is the legendary stool with half an ass sitting on, Yang Reform is not interested in knowing.
"Old man, what interesting rumors have you heard in the capital recently?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the most discussed thing in this capital is Your Majesty's recruitment of sea warriors, and everyone in the world admires Your Majesty!"
"My husband doesn't need to pat me on the back, be serious, don't make such a lot of false things, I don't have time to listen to this nonsense, I've been in this Forbidden City for a long time, and things outside can't be heard so true, so I want to understand the situation outside through your eyes and ears." Yang Reform didn't come to listen to the nonsense of the queen's father. Find someone in the Forbidden City for such nonsense, and I can talk to you for a few days and nights.
"Your Majesty, the minister understands,...... Back to Your Majesty, in addition to His Majesty's recruitment of warriors to the sea, the most discussed outside is the emperor's two million taels of silver, all of which say that His Majesty is a holy monarch...... This is not a sycophant, this is true...... Then there is the case of Wei Regent, although most of them praise His Majesty for his kindness, but there are also those who are disrespectful to His Majesty, saying that the thieves should be eliminated, not a large number of them, especially the root cause of Wei Rence, who has not yet been subdued...... "Speaking of this, the queen and his father glanced at the emperor with his eyes, and found that the emperor was not unusual, so he dared to say it again.
Yang reformed himself and thought in his heart, Wei Reverse? Bane? Be executed? Hehe, it seems that there are many of the elite scholars in the Ming Dynasty who want Wei Zhongxian to die quickly! It's a pity that he is ready to treat Wei Zhongxian's nine thousand years old as a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of Ming Dynasty scholars, especially the heads of the Donglin Party. Hang and don't use. There was never any intention to kill Wei Zhongxian.
You must know that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are different from other dynasties, they typically rely on imperial power, they are the emperor's house slaves, and they can't do anything without the emperor, even if they get the name of Wei Zhongxian, who is nine thousand years old, a little eunuch can cause Wei Zhongxian to die if he takes the holy decree and passes on an edict.
However, this Wei Zhongxian is indeed not a good thing, Chongzhen hates him to the core, and he can't solve his hatred when he pokes his corpse, for example, Emperor Chongzhen's elder brother, Emperor Xizong's ancestral hall, the "premature death" and "mortality rate" are as high as 100%. If no one is doing ghosts, even if the ancient medical technology is not developed, it will not have a 100% premature death rate. It can be seen from this how much Chongzhen hates Wei Zhongxian, but now that Yang Reform is Chongzhen, the hatred in these memories is not so strong. The attitude towards this matter has changed a lot.
History is so strange, if Wei Zhongxian didn't make ghosts, the "premature death rate" of Xizong's ancestral hall would not be as high as 100%, and it would not be Chongzhen's turn to be the emperor.
"Old man, what do you think of the two million taels of military salary?" Yang Reform interjected, interrupting the queen and his father's gushing "report".
"Well, back to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Your Majesty's two million taels of military salaries are worth in a timely manner, thinking that Xuan, Da, Ji, and Liao, the few have not been paid military salaries for a few months, and the many have been in arrears for several years, this has no military salaries, not to mention that there are still children to support at home, even if it is himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat enough, not warm clothes, how can he have combat power, and he can use knives and guns?" Daddy Queen said.
Yang Gai didn't expect this queen and his father to speak a little bit of level, a little knowledge, so he smiled and said: "Hehe, the old man said that there is a level, yes, there is no military salary, the sergeant himself is still not full, he is not warm, and he still has his wife and children to support at home." How to work hard and fight desperately? ”
The queen's father smiled and said, "Your Majesty said yes, said yes." ”
"My father-in-law, I came to you today, and I have something for you to do." Yang reformed
"What's the matter? Your Majesty, please say, the minister will do it. ”
"That's the case, a few days ago, I got a secret, I think it's a little interesting, I can make some money, I take it myself and feel that the gains outweigh the losses, I am in this palace, the money is tight, the old man knows, the palace expenses are inevitably tight, I don't want the queen to suffer with me, so I decided to give this thing to the queen, as the queen's own money, in the future the queen will reward a lot of money, so as not to fall the royal face, you are the queen's biological father, I can be trusted, this matter will be handed over to you, You find a reliable person to manage this matter, you can take 20% of the money you get, and the rest will go to the queen, and the queen will send someone to supervise the finances. What do you think? ”
The queen's father was already confused. I can't come back for half a day. What's going on? Wrong! That's not right! Why did the queen of the Ming Dynasty have to run her own business? Is this going to be repaid? As soon as the big killer weapon of "competing with the people for profit" comes out, I'm afraid the queen won't have to do it.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done! Your Majesty...... This queen is the mother of the world, and the mother of the world, how can she do such a cheap job? The queen's father was already frightened, and thought that the emperor was dissatisfied with his daughter, and was about to make a fuss, lying on the ground and kowtowing, and making a fuss.
"Alas...... Cough...... Husband, didn't I say it? Let you find a few reliable people to be the shopkeeper and run the business, and not let the queen do business, you don't understand this? Hurry up, hurry up. Yang Gai didn't expect this old man to make such a big move, and he was also startled.
"This ...... Your Majesty, is this really going to be done like this? I understand this reason, but this queen runs a cheap business, in case the courtiers know, they have to make a noise, and when the time comes...... "The queen's father is in a dilemma, on the one hand, the emperor's request, and on the other hand, he is also afraid that others will attack the queen. Naturally, he refused.
"Alas~! Actually, my father-in-law, I don't hide it from you, this private business, in fact, I am also looking for someone to run it, and I don't see who dares to be verbose, we are officials in the Ming Dynasty, who doesn't run something, isn't it? It's nothing, I have something to carry for you, of course, this, the queen's property, must not use the queen's signboard, and it has nothing to do with the queen. Isn't it? You are the queen's biological father, you can trust it, so I handed it over to you, if it is someone else, I am not at ease, I am afraid that he will be greedy for the queen's money......"
As soon as Yang Reform explained this, the queen's father believed most of it, and with the emperor in his pocket, who were he afraid of? Besides, our Ming Dynasty, what does the official not operate? Relying on that Lulu alone, then wouldn't you starve to death? That Hai Rui eating two taels of meat has become the "news" of the Ming Dynasty.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands, he will definitely send someone to manage it well, and he will not play the queen's banner, he will not discredit the queen, this matter has nothing to do with the queen, it was done by the minister, and he will definitely not be greedy for the queen's money." The queen's father swore an oath.
Yang Reform didn't expect this old man to be a little interesting, he actually knew how to avoid risks, and picked this matter on one shoulder, and if he got the money, it would go to the queen, and if someone attacked the queen with this matter in the future, he would pick it up on his own shoulder, and it had nothing to do with the queen. As long as the queen doesn't fall, others can't do anything about him.;
