Chapter 467: Inevitable Change

This marriage, in the eyes of discerning people, is a very timely marriage. Chen Xie's power has developed to the present, and no one can contain it. Even the power of the whole country cannot shake him. If you really want to give birth to the idea of climactic generational change, and no one can resist Chen Xie's absolute superiority in military affairs. Because of this, the royal family desperately hopes for this marriage to be reached, even if people who don't know the truth feel that Chen Xie is 20 years older than the princess, which is very inconsistent with the royal identity, it is ignored.

I can't help but say that women in this era are born with all kinds of constraints. To put it mildly, sometimes you can't help it if you want to die. Of course, Europe is similar, but it looks good. The so-called gentlemanly demeanor is based on the premise that the status of women over men cannot be shaken. It is a product of the strong overlooking.

Chen Xie didn't want to be on the road in front of people, not because he was ugly, but because he didn't like this kind of too lively occasion.

After entering Beijing, he immediately entered the palace to face the saint. Zhu Youzhen couldn't wait to ask: "Sihua, is Shandong's annual customs tariff really a million taels?" Why is there only 300,000 a year in Fujian? There is a word called "smuggling, smuggling", Chen Xie patiently explained to him: "Your Majesty, this world is very big, too big for you to imagine. Tessie is also called Europe, and there are dozens of countries. Because of the pursuit of wealth, Europe began the era of great voyages. They discovered the New World, also through the Guò sea route, and found Asia, the continent where the Ming Dynasty was located. The New World was rich in gold and silver, and these countries acquired a great deal of wealth through robbing. Rich. Where are they going to spend it? The answer is Da Ming. Tea, silk, porcelain, rhubarb, these things are unique to the Ming Dynasty and are scarce in Europe. During the Ming Dynasty period, the people's maritime trade with foreign countries has never stopped. Why? Because the stakes are too great. Maritime trade, the annual inflow of silver into the Ming Dynasty, the largest year reached 100 million taels. If you don't collect this silver, it will still flow into the Ming Dynasty. into the pockets of some merchants. And in Daming. There are very few people engaged in commercial trade, and there are many gentry, nobles, officials and businessmen. This is why the minister wants to establish a navy, as long as he has mastered the route of the sea. All merchant ships that evaded taxes. The minister did not intend to let it go. Please rest assured. Once the overall situation of Liaodong and the grassland is stabilized, the minister went south and collected the money for His Majesty. ”

Zhu Youzhen is not stupid. It's just a lack of knowledge. After listening to Chen Xie's words, he smiled bitterly: "I should be a moral model by cutting down on food and clothing." But those nobles and ministers, they live a life of fine clothes and food. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing for me to suffer a little, but how dare these people ask me to be thrifty, but they are spending money like dirt. ”

Chen Xie smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Da Ming is like a seriously ill person, and it is difficult to return." Don't do anything, take it slowly. Now that the border troubles have been settled, and the internal turmoil is here, there are three adults, Yang, Hong, and Sun, and it should not be difficult to calm down. Chen Xie can only say this, Daming's problem really can't be rushed, the more anxious it is, the easier it is to do bad things. Now that natural disasters and man-made disasters are coming together, Zhu Youzhen is indeed miserable enough.

Zhu Youzhen allocated a house in Beijing and hung a plaque "Xinghaibo" mansion. This gesture, as royal, has been done very low. This is to tell the world that the royal family is marrying a princess, not a concubine.

Chen Xie's dowry list, in her hand, Queen Zhou felt that her legs were a little weak, even if she was the queen, she had never seen anyone smash silver like this. There are 10,000 gold coins produced in Dengzhou, 100,000 silver yuan in Dengzhou, 500 pieces of Susong cotton cloth and silk, 5,000 catties of snow sugar, and 10 mirrors of one person's height,......。 All added up, the total value is no less than 500,000 silver yuan, Chen Xie is really generous.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were onlookers, naturally there were people from the little princess, who found out some inside things, and ran back to report the news after falling off their butts. The little princess was waiting anxiously in her bedroom, and when she saw the palace maid next to her coming back, she hurriedly went up and asked, "What's there?" ”

"Back to the princess, there are too many, the maid remembers, 10,000 gold coins, 100,000 silver yuan ......." As the palace maid spoke, a pair of big eyes were full of anticipation.

After an hour of discussion with the emperor, Chen Xie took his leave and left. According to the rules, you won't see the princess. When he followed the chamberlain out of the palace, at a corner, Chen Xie heard someone greet him. Turning her head, she saw that it was a palace maid waving. In my sight, under a tree, a young girl was smiling and waving to her. Chen Xie doesn't know if this is good or bad, to borrow an old line, I will try to fall in love with her. Roughly, that's it. The marriage of the Ming Dynasty was destined to be such a result.

On the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raised its head. After a day of tossing and turning in various ceremonies, the little princess, who was covered with red silk and a heavy crown and belt, sat on the bed and couldn't move, and couldn't see anything outside, only heard the sound of drums and bamboos.

These days, under the teaching of the personal palace maid, I have initially mastered some knowledge between men and women. How to be a daughter-in-law still takes time to learn. But for now, she could only sit still and wait patiently.

The palace maid beside her has been talking with her, drinking some water when she is thirsty, and she needs someone to help her if she needs convenience. Time passed little by little, and I stole a few small snacks to cushion my stomach, and it was finally not so difficult.

In the middle of the night, when she heard a movement at the door, the little princess immediately sat up straight. Hearing someone talking, he didn't know very well, but finally the door opened, and heard Chen Xie say, "Stand down, there is something to call you." ”

Zhu Yujiao took a deep breath, calmed down her heart excitedly, and waited for him to pick up the hijab. When he saw the phoenix crown, Chen Xie smiled: "You are holding such a heavy guy, isn't your neck sore?" Instinctively, Zhu Yujiao said: "It's sour, but you can't take it off." Chen Xie smiled: "What's not to do." As she spoke, she took it off with her hands, and waited for Zhu Yujiao to react and said, "Oh, you have to drink the Heji wine before you can pick it." ”

Chen Xie smiled: "I think they are in the way, so the guards are rotten outside." "Ah, that's fine. Zhu Yujiao felt that her brain was not enough. This is not a good number, how can this be? When he was still turning his brain, Chen Xie's hand pressed on his neck, and said softly: "I'll pinch it for you, it's been a day, and I don't know what it means to take it off and rest, what does it mean, so seriously?" Chen Xie didn't have the slightest sense of bringing the little princess to the bad consciousness, and after some tricking, he asked people to bring it to eat.

"Let's have a bite to eat together, and when we're full, we'll drink that hop wine. Also, let people clean up the bed, what dates and peanuts, sleep on it in a panic. "Chen Xie, this guy is really ruined. Being a man and doing things strongly, the little princess was brought around by him, and finally ate and drank wine, and it was not too early to see the time.

When she was only wearing her underwear, Zhu Yujiao realized what was about to happen, and her face was already red without rouge. Quickly burrowed into the quilt and covered his face.

"The red candle shines overnight, and the spring warbler cries several times." That's impossible!

With Zhu Yujiao's small body, how can she resist Master Chen's toss. When lying together, the small body trembled nervously, and it was soft in his arms from behind, and Chen Xie said in his ear: "From today onwards, it will be one." Although he has a lot of experience, Chen Xie can not do much in the face of this princess who has no practical experience and only a little theoretical knowledge. I didn't even plan to do anything, just hugged her, and when I saw her turn around, she hummed low on her head and chest, and said with a smile: "I'm tired for a day, let's sleep first." ”

Zhu Yujiao's body stiffened slightly, did not speak, and continued to hum. In a daze, both of them fell asleep. Chen Xie was woken up by someone, opened his eyes and looked at the little face opposite, and said anxiously: "Master, we haven't ...... yet, the slave family wants to spread the branches for the Chen family." The voice became lower and lower, and the blushing head lowered.

Uh, so persistent? Chen Xie was very surprised, and couldn't help laughing: "Is Tiankui here?" The answer is to nod, Chen Xie said in his heart! Even if this small body can give birth to children, it is easy to have problems.

"I'm studying medicine, I sue you ,......。" After a flicker, the little princess didn't know how to fool the north, south, south, and northwest, Chen Xie looked out the window and said with a smile: "Continue to sleep again, sixteen years old, wait until you are sixteen years old." ”

In order to envelop Chen Xie, Zhu Youzhen did not hesitate to spend his money. After the wedding, Chen Xie went south, and the princess also went south, instead of staying in Beijing. Chen Xie's position has also been newly adjusted, and he is the governor of Liaodong, Shandong, and Jiangnan provinces. Probably because he wanted to improve the financial difficulties of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen ignored the opposition of the ministers and began to collect commercial taxes in Liaodong, Shandong, and Jiangnan. He also asked Chen Xie to come up with an implementation plan for the Advisory Bureau.

The business tax has caused a huge backlash from officialdom. Zhu Youzhen directly ignored the music of "competing for profits with the people", and asked a question in the early dynasty: "Daming has an income of four million, and an expenditure of five million, just ask, repeatedly increased, the people are unbearable, and they are angry and exposed, who will be responsible?" ”

Then everyone spoke, and Zhu Youzhen said again: "In the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the country has reached such a difficult point, is it so difficult to collect some commercial taxes?" Do you have to collapse the Ming Society, so that you will be fast? ”

This sentence is really heart-wrenching, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground, and no one dared to say anything about competing with the people for profit.

After being instilled with a lot of messy thoughts by Chen Xie, Zhu Youzhen's change is an inevitable result. However, this change is still forced in essence. At present, the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong and Saiwai are all using troops, but this side does not use the money from the ministry, and Chen Xie bears it with all his might. However, in the Central Plains, after many years of drought, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, Jiangbei, and Gyeonggi all experienced severe drought. Especially in Henan and Jiangbei, there is not only drought, but also locust plagues. (To be continued......)
