"Today the old wolf please eat chicken...... Please eat chicken...... Please eat chicken ......"

Yue Yang sat in the rocking chair in the study, holding a folding fan in his hand and constantly shaking it to a strange song in his mouth, with a smug expression on his face.

In another place not far from Yueyang, Li Xiangjun was looking down at a tax form that had just been delivered, but because she had just learned Arabic numerals, she was a little struggling to read it, while Wang Yue on the other side was pulling Dong Xiaowan and whispering, "Sister Xiaowan, why is Xianggong so happy today?" What happened to you, do you know? ”

"How do I know?" Dong Xiaowan, who was helping Li Xiangjun sort out the forms on the side, shook his head helplessly: "Since Xiang Gong led the group of Xiyi businessmen to see the treasure brought by Xiang Gong yesterday, he has been like this since he came back, and I don't know what evil he has fallen into." ”

Wang Yueqiong's nose wrinkled slightly: "Hmph...... Maybe those Yi people promised to give him a few beauties, so they were happy like this. ”

"Yue'er, what bad things are you saying about me, beware of me punishing you!" Yue Yang on the side was at the tip of his ears, although Wang Yue's voice was not very loud, he still heard it.

"Hmph...... Who is afraid that you will not succeed? Wang Yue puffed up her chest very proudly, and the already huge twin peaks were even more thrilling.

"Hey...... You little goblin, I don't know who begged for mercy last night, but now you're angry. Yue Yang squinted at her and said with a smile.

"It's not my fault, who made Sister Xiangjun and Sister Xiaowan not fight, if Sister Xiangjun and Sister Xiaowan can hold on for a while longer, it will definitely be you!" Wang Yue was very unconvinced.

"You're going to die, you can talk nonsense like that!" Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan on the side were embarrassed, and they couldn't care about settling accounts, so they all stood up and grabbed Wang Yue and scratched it. This Wang Yue is so open-mouthed, fortunately, there are only a few of them here, if they let others hear about it, they won't be human.

Faced with the strong suppression of the two sisters, Wang Yue had no choice but to hide in Yue Yang's arms, hiding her little face in Ailang's arms, and never dared to show her head again.

Yue Yang had no choice but to protect Wang Yue in his arms, and said helplessly to Li Xiangjun's children: "You guys." The two of them teamed up to bully Yue'er, do you still have a little bit of a sister? ”

"Xianggong, you can protect her." Li Xiangjun glared at Wang Yue with shame and anger: "This kind of thing in the boudoir can also be taken out and said, if others hear about us, do we still want to be people?" ”

"What's the big deal." Yue Yang pursed his lips, "It's just talking, some people even make it for others to see." ”

"Xianggong is talking nonsense again, who dares to do this to show people, this will be thundered by the sky!" Li Xiangjun's three daughters naturally thought that Yue Yang was talking nonsense, and even Wang Yue and the two sisters gave him a blank look.

Yue Yang shrugged his shoulders, there is no way to explain this, he can't say that in another four or five hundred years, our neighboring island country has developed a world-famous industrial chain. There are as many as 35,000 love action movies produced every year, and millions of people rely on this kind of thing to eat.

Seeing Yue Yang's thick-skinned appearance, the third daughter also decided that her husband was talking nonsense.

"Xianggong, you just sue the concubine, okay!"

Wang Yue kept rubbing in Yue Yang's arms while being coquettish, and the two huge balls on her chest couldn't stop shaking in Ailang's chest, and she had been with Yue Yang for more than a year, and this fruit, which was originally still green, had become several mature after more than a year of Yueyang's hard work. The capital that was already greater than ordinary people became even more amazing, and even Yue Yang couldn't stand this temptation, so he had to shake his head and say, "Okay, don't shake it." I'll be rude to you if you shake it any more. ”

"Well, people know that Xianggong is the best for others!" Wang Yue happily kissed Ai Lang on the face, and then sat up straight, blinking and looking at Ai Lang with big eyes. Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan's two daughters also stood up, walked to Yue Yang's side, and listened to him quietly.

Yue Yang cleared his throat and said, "Don't you want to know why Xianggong is so happy today, in fact, after Xianggong met with those Yi people yesterday, I sued them." It's not impossible to buy our treasures, but you can't just buy them with silver, you have to exchange them for them! ”

"Something for ...... Why? The third girl was a little stunned.

Li Xiangjun asked a little puzzled: "Xianggong, isn't it natural to use silver to buy things, why are you still not happy to use silver to buy things?" ”

"You don't understand that, do you?" Yue Yang patiently explained: "The country where those Yi people are located is called Spain, where they are cheap in silver and expensive in things, especially in recent years, they have obtained a lot of silver from the Americas, so they are in a hurry to buy a large number of items in various countries to balance the prices. Belch...... Do you understand what I say? ”

"Xianggong also underestimates us too much." Li Xiangjun glanced at Yue Yang, "Xianggong said so much, just to say that if our Ming Dynasty pours in too much silver, it will cause a situation where silver is cheap and expensive, and then cause unpredictable consequences, is that so?" ”

"Clever!" Yue Yang pulled Li Xiangjun with great appreciation and incense her pink face, "You think, silver is naturally indispensable to use as a coin, but this thing can neither be eaten nor worn, if there are too much, it will not be good for my Daming." Tell me, what is the thing that I lack most now? ”

"What's missing?" The three girls looked at each other for a moment, and then said almost in unison: "Grain!" ”

"Yes, it's food!" Yue Yang glanced at the three girls appreciatively, "It's food, as the so-called food in your hands is not panicked, as long as there is food, I Daming will not be afraid of anything, although we have begun to develop water conservancy and agricultural reclamation in Shanxi and Shandong over the years, but with the continuous influx of displaced people, in the face of thousands or even tens of millions of people, we can only say that it is enough to make a living, but you don't know that in Nanyang, which is thousands of miles away from us, where due to the pleasant climate, grain can even be cooked three times a year, do you say that we should let them have some blood?" ”

"Three crops a year?" The three girls were almost stunned, how many years have passed, and the Jiangnan region, the place with the highest grain production in the Ming Dynasty, can only achieve two crops a year, and most other places can only achieve one harvest a year, but now Yueyang actually said that there are places where grain can be harvested three times a year, which means that they know too well what it means, which means that these places don't have to worry about what to eat at all.

After a long time, Dong Xiaowan said longingly: "Xianggong." Shall not the granaries of the houses of the people in those places be full forever? ”

"Pull it down!" Yue Yang said disdainfully: "How can they have surplus food, those people lie at home all day long, and only do farm work for one or two hours every few days, anyway, they won't starve to death, they won't work every day, how tired they are!" ”

"Ah...... And what's going on? The three girls were stunned, there was only one or two hours of farm work every few days, how lazy people were to do this kind of thing, if they changed the people of the Ming Dynasty, they would never stop if they didn't fill their houses with food.

Seeing the surprised appearance of the three girls. Yue Yang also smiled bitterly in his heart, the natives of Indonesia and the Philippines have never been worried about filling in their stomachs due to their unique geographical environment, and naturally they don't know how uncomfortable it is to be hungry, so they have developed a lazy character since childhood. This is also the reason why the Chinese migrated after a few hundred years and were hostile to the natives there, they were jealous and hostile to the Chinese, hating the Chinese would usurp their wealth, so the anti-Chinese movement in history would always appear from time to time, and those countries treated the Chinese as leeks and cut a stubble whenever they were ripe. Then wait until the next time it is ripe to mow, and this is the case until the twenty-first century. Now that Spain is in charge of the country, if I don't get some food from those people, I will be sorry for the country and the nation.

After a long time, Li Xiangjun shook his head and said, "Those Nanyang people are too much. If there is such a good place and you are so lazy, God will not be able to stand it. ”

Yue Yang smiled and said: "So, I will now get the grain from those Yi people to our Daming and help our Daming people." ”

Yue Yang can imagine. When he told the Spanish merchants about the decision to exchange grain for goods, how the greedy Western colonists would brutally exploit the poor natives of Nanyang was not Yueyang's concern. In his opinion, it is also good to put some pressure on the lazy natives of Nanyang, saving them too much idleness.

After listening to Yue Yang's words, Wang Yue sat up again and put her arms around Yue Yang's neck and asked, "Xianggong, you will go to the capital to marry the princess in a few days, so where do you plan to place the princess?" Do you want to bring it back to Shanxi or bring it to Shandong? ”

"This ......"

Hearing this question, Yue Yang also scratched his head for a while. This is not a good arrangement, Zhu Yujiao, the princess of Kunxing, is an authentic golden branch and jade leaf, and her identity is much more noble than the women in the family, if it is arranged in Shanxi, let alone Hailanzhu, even the old lady in the family is probably not very happy, that is not to marry a daughter-in-law, that is to find an ancestor for his family to come back.

After scratching his ears and cheeks for a while, Yue Yang raised his head and said to the third girl with a shy face: "I really haven't thought about this Xianggong, you guys have an idea for Xianggong." ”

The three daughters looked at Yue Yang and were silent, and finally Dong Xiaowan relented and said: "It's better to be like this according to the concubine's body, Xianggong will bring the princess back to Shandong, and build a courtyard in Jinan for the princess to live there, after all, Xianggong will inevitably be stationed in Shandong in the next few years, so whether you are in Jinan, back to Shanxi or Weihaiwei, there are people to serve you, do you say that's okay?" ”

"Hmm...... That's good, I think it's okay! Yue Yang nodded, and after finishing speaking, he hugged Dong Xiaowan and kissed her on the pretty face and made a crisp sound, but her face turned red with shame.

It's just that what Yue Yang didn't see was that when Dong Xiaowan said these words, Wang Yue and Li Xiangjunwang secretly gave her a thumbs up in secret, although Dong Xiaowan doesn't talk much on weekdays, but she is definitely not a stupid person, her words seem to be fair and considerate for Yue Yang, but in fact, she also has her own little abacus. The three girls have been by Yueyang's side these days, and it can naturally be seen that the focus of Yueyang's work in the next few years is on Weihaiwei and the rebuilt sailors, so he will naturally be in Weihaiwei most of the year, and he will spend the most time with them, and the three girls will also have more opportunities to be by his side. It's just that this little abacus estimates that Yue Yang hasn't thought of it so quickly, and it is estimated that even if he knows it, he won't care, after all, people will have selfish intentions.

Yue Yang stayed in Weihaiwei until the end of October, and finally led thousands of soldiers to the capital under the repeated urging of Qian Neng, and finally came to the capital in early November.

The capital is still the same capital, the towering city walls and the defenders who are still moving on the city walls, as well as the homeless people who appear from time to time in the outer city, all make Yue Yang feel like home, and soon Qian Neng took Yue Yang to the palace. Chongzhen and Empress Zhou received him at Kunning Palace.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, queen mother, long live, thousand years old!"

"No rudeness!"

"Long live thanks!"

Originally, when the courtiers met the emperor, if it was not a heavy occasion, there was no need to make such a big ceremony, but today is different, today is the hairy foot son-in-law to meet the cheap old man and mother-in-law, this ceremony has to be grander, otherwise the daughter who has been raised by the family for more than ten years is too cheap to let you take it away, after three bows and nine bows, Yue Yang was finally given a seat.

Looking at Yue Yang sitting on the chair, Chongzhen's gaze was a little complicated. After pondering for a while, he spoke: "Aiqing, you are not here today as a courtier, but as my son-in-law. There are some things I want to talk to you about as a father. ”

"That's what I'm talking about today!" Yue Yang secretly complained in his heart: "As the saying goes, every father who marries his daughter is not in a good mood, but I don't know what problems this cheap old man will have." ”

However, although he secretly complained in his heart, he still had to say solemnly: "Your Majesty, please command!" ”

Chongzhen sighed and said: "My daughter grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she has never left me and the queen for half a step, it stands to reason that she is only thirteen years old this year, and marrying you is indeed a little younger, but I can't bear to delay her youth, and I see that Aiqing is also a pillar of the country, so I don't hesitate to marry the princess, I hope Aiqing can treat the princess well in the future." I'm a father, so I'm relieved! ”

Listening to Chongzhen's words, Yue Yang was slandered in his heart, this cheeky guy stuffed a Lori who had just entered junior high school into himself, and said as if he was wronged, and he also lost what he said. If you have the ability, don't marry your daughter, as if your brother is begging you on the pole.

However, the belly slander is slander, but the mouth has to be respectfully said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will definitely treat the princess well." The princess will never be wronged. ”

"Well, that's good!" Chongzhen looked at Yue Yang for a while, and then nodded. turned his head to Empress Zhou: "Zitong, what else do you have to say to Yue Aiqing?" ”

Empress Zhou's eyes were also red at this time, "Yue Aiqing, since you are about to become the son-in-law of this palace, then this palace will call your cousin." Zhenghong is the loyal and brave marquis of my Ming Dynasty, and he is a capable minister who can lead the army and get off the horse to calm the people, the emperor and the palace value you very much, so I handed over the princess to you, I hope you can treat her well. This child has been spoiled by her since she was a child, and if there is anything wrong with her after marrying, you can include a little more, but you can't spoil her too much, and you should say don't be too accommodating to her, you know? ”

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the minister will definitely not forget your words." Yue Yang listened to a cold sweat in his head, listening to the leader in China since ancient times is also a science, sometimes you have to listen to it the other way, you have to listen to the first half of Queen Zhou's words just now, but you have to listen to the second half of the voice, otherwise if you really want to treat the ordinary daughter-in-law like that, I am afraid that it will not take a few days for the cheap old man and mother-in-law in front of me to kill their own family to ask their own teacher for guilt.

"Well, it's good to get it!" After the beating, Queen Zhou's pretty face also showed a smile again, "Zhenghong, it stands to reason that this time you and your concubine are married, the palace and the emperor are going to hold a grand wedding for you, but you also know that now my Ming treasury is empty, if you do it in a big way, I am afraid it will provoke the criticism of the ministers of the DPRK and China, so ......"

Hearing this, where did Yue Yang still not understand the thoughts of Taishan Taishui, he said helplessly: "The emperor and queen, please rest assured, it is already an honor for the minister to marry the princess this time, how can he let the emperor break the bill again." The minister brought 500,000 silver dollars, willing to be used for the wedding, and the minister also has a batch of dowry gifts, which will be sent to the palace tomorrow, this is the gift list for the emperor and the queen to see! After speaking, Yue Yang took out a gift slip from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

Naturally, a palace maid took the gift list and handed it to Chongzhen and Queen Zhou, and the male and female showed a satisfied smile while looking at the gift list, and nodded incessantly: "Hmm...... Masahiro, you have a heart, I am very satisfied, then let's do it first! ”

On the sixth day of November in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Yi Na Cai, opening the market, trading, and marrying, on this day, our loyal and brave Marquis Yueyang Yue finally married Zhu Yujiao, the princess of Kunxing of the Ming Dynasty. On this day, the entire capital of Daming was lively, and the whole capital was a sensation. In order to celebrate the wedding, Yue Yang even ordered the opening of hundreds of porridge shops to help the beggars and refugees in the capital, and Chongzhen also held a banquet in the palace to entertain those officials who came to congratulate. After all, no matter how many people in the court hate Yueyang, but today they all have to come to congratulate, otherwise they will not give face to the emperor Laozi, not to give face to the loyal and brave marquis who holds heavy troops, and the consequences of not giving face to the emperor are extremely strict.
