Chapter 449 Ready

At present, the Dengzhou Navy has 60 warships of 1,000 tons and 30 warships of 2,000 tons. This is also the result of Chen Xie's deliberate control. If it is built openly, with the production capacity of the Jiaozhou Bay Shipyard, it will be able to build 15 2,000-ton warships in a year. The existence of the two fleets, there are no pirates in the entire Chinese sea, Zheng Zhilong is now very honest, as a general in Fujian. didn't even get mixed with the general soldiers, and the general soldiers of Fujian were all recommended by Chen Xie to be Wang Zheng.

Zheng Zhilong has gone from hundreds of large and small warships to less than a hundred big ships now, not because he doesn't want to develop, but because he is afraid of death, he is afraid of death. For fear that Chen Xie would look at him unpleasantly and find an excuse to kill him. So, now Zheng Zhilong. There is no longer any mention of the division of protection fees at sea, and it is directly changed to maritime trade.

Not to mention, after Chen Xie inspected the navy, he returned to Jinan for the New Year. In the princess's mansion on the shore of Daming Lake, Zhu Yujiao bit the pen and frowned and read the account book. Zhu Youzhen built a "Xinghaibo" mansion in Beijing, Chen Xie was very knowledgeable, and the mansion in Jinan was called Princess Kunxing's Mansion. Face, give each other.

After coming to Jinan, Zhu Yujiao knew that it was not easy to be at home, and Chen Xie did not hand over too much property to her to take care of, it was a joint Jinan, and Zhu Yujiao was poor to cope. In order to figure out how many kinds of goods there are, Zhu Yujiao spent a month, and she couldn't understand the account book of how many things were received each month. Chen Xie was still very bad, and when he gave the account book, he told her: "These accounts can only come by yourself." Don't lend someone else's hand. "The reason is also very strong, I don't understand it, and I am easy to be deceived by the people below.

The little princess is also very stubborn, since Chen Xie has explained, then work hard and understand these things in person. At the beginning, the two of them couldn't read these ledgers at all. Zhu Yujiao went to Chen Xie and said that she didn't understand at all. Chen Xie said, "Okay, I'll teach you." "Let's start with Arabic numerals. And then little by little I learned. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Four arithmetic, abacus. As long as Chen Xie is at home, he teaches little by little, and when he is not at home, he reads the textbooks by himself.

Chen Xie, who did this. Naturally, it was not good-hearted. He was worried that the little princess would be scattered. So. Find something to do so that you don't get bored. Chen Xie also said to her: "You can't learn alone, the business is very big." One person can't be busy at all, so let the palace maid you trust learn together. ”

In other words, if this woman doesn't have something to do, she will be cranky, and then all kinds of palace scheming. Chen Xie estimated that it would take a year or two for the account books of a joint firm to be read by the time they all learned to read the account books.

Don't say it, Zhu Yujiao, who has entered the state of learning, gritted her teeth to learn knowledge and hold her belongings in her hands for the sake of numerically making her breathless belongings. After a year, I will definitely pass the mathematics level of the second grade of primary school. No, I can barely understand the ledger, but I definitely can't understand how to do the account.

Chen Xie's carriage was not yet stable, and Zhu Yujiao stood inside the door in full costume to greet her. According to the teachings of his father and the queen, Chen Xie is not an ordinary man, but a strange man who is related to the Jiangshan Society of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the princess put away her set and served her husband like an ordinary woman.

Fortunately, there are no in-laws at home, and there are not so many short things in the parents. In the backyard of the governor's yamen, Zhu Yujiao didn't go over, and the two sides were safe, but Chen Xie was very both sides. Occasionally, I have to go to the red lady, which is really hard.

"The master is back?" Zhu Yujiao also learned this title from others, and asked to bring more than 100 palace maids, all of whom were called so. As for the eunuch, Chen Xie didn't let her bring it, so he had to recruit more than a dozen stout women to serve on the spot. Directly guided, except for Chen Xie and the guards in the princess's mansion, there were only women left. And this guard lives fifty meters away.

Chen Xie stepped forward with a smile and said, "Princess, how many times have you said it, you don't have to come out to greet you." Having said that, it was still very refreshing to see this little girl standing at the door with a smile on her face. O princess! This identity alone is very cool.

After some narration, Chen Xie took her hand and went in, after sitting down on the kang, the palace maid brought dinner, and when the two sat opposite each other, Zhu Yujiao said: "Before the end of the year, the shopkeepers in the city sent all the account books. I took a look and saw that this year's income was 300,000 silver dollars, an increase of more than 38,000 silver dollars compared with last year's income. ”

Chen Xie immediately smiled when he heard this: "Not bad, not bad, there is progress." Sure enough, Bing Xue is smart, but after a year's effort, he can understand the account book. Well, after you are completely familiar with the Jinan branch, I will ask you to hand over the income of Yanzhou Mansion to you. ”

This pipe simply refers to the management of silver, that is, the silver in the bank. Open a separate account, without Zhu Yujiao's seal, the kind that the money bank does not pay.

"Sir, what do I want so much silver for? I heard that there was a famine in several provinces, and I thought that my father must be in a hurry. It is better to take out 30% of this year's income from the account of Jinan Mansion and hand it over to my father for relief. The little princess is quite filial, and when she said this, she whispered embarrassedly: "I have never dared to say this matter, the silver belongs to the master, and I am not good at opening this mouth." ”

Chen Xie showed a surprised expression and said, "How did you say this?" Husband and wife are one, and what is mine is yours. Don't dare to say anything else, the silver of the Jinan semicolon, without your seal, I can't take out the silver. ”

Yes......! Zhu Yujiao's mouth was open and closed, Chen Xie looked at the red lips of the little mouth, the crooked thoughts that flashed in his mind, and the evil smile was revealed. Every time I stay here in Zhu Yujiao, sleeping at night is a very torturous thing. Chen Xie didn't want her to have a child at such a young age, so he was reluctant to take the last step.

The little princess doesn't care now, she can't stand the people around her, and the old man is holding back words like bad health. How to say this, many palace maids have ideas, especially the two close-fitting palace maids, who are worried about the lord and hurry up to open the ring on the princess, so that they have the opportunity to come in. Otherwise, the princess didn't catch up with the meat, and you would be worried about drinking soup?

So, the little princess was uneasy to be picked, so she asked some older women to ask, learned some tricks, and used them at night. These years are like this, even if you are a princess, you have to fight for favor. Of course, there is no need for a regular colt.

When the last beautiful scene appeared in his mind, Chen Xie reacted a little. Holding the fragrant little princess, her ears and temples grinded, and her breathing was heavy. It was just dark on this day, the kang was burning, and the two sides were crowded together, and the little princess would not be able to do it three or two times.

He muttered: "Master, good master,......。 This time the eyes were hot, as delicate as a flower, Chen Xie didn't resist. Let people withdraw from the banquet, throw their clothes inside and out of the warm quilt, and when they see each other naked, they are smooth and hairless, and the heat overflows.

After grinding, Xiao Chen got in, sigh! The little face is white! It's not fun to start with.

After getting used to it, he gradually entered the port, and the sound of mercy continued, and he stopped with a sigh. But when he heard it, he said, "Bi Jin, Bi Xin, you two come in." "For a while, the mountains shook, lost their armor, and poured thousands of miles.

Chen Xie's days of being happy in Jinan soon had to be interrupted. The situation in the Central Plains has once again undergone tremendous changes.

In the first month of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (1642), Li Zicheng fell into Luoyang and killed Zhu Changxun, the king of fortune. In the middle of the night of the fourth day of the first month of February, Zhang Xianzhong galloped 300 miles out of Sichuan in one day and night, attacked Xiangyang, and on the fifth day of the first month, he killed Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, in the West Gate Tower, and the government and the opposition were shocked. Yang Sichang failed to pursue the peasant uprising, was full of fear, the old disease recurred, and he was terminally ill. Yang Sichang only spit out, "Return to Jingzhou, and I will pay homage to Huidi." The king ordered Xie to say: "Sir, if you want to see the widow, please go to the king first." Shame on the heirs, but hanging. The same volume 7 also contains: "When Sichang heard that Xiangyang was broken, he did not eat again." and heard that Li Zicheng was trapped in Luoyang, so he mourned and said: There is no face to see above. Poisoned to death. Volume 14 of "Huailing Liukou Always Records" said: "After the defeat of Sichang, Zuo Liangyu insulted him with a parallel text. Si Chang was ashamed and committed suicide by relying on medicine. Yang Shansong, the son of Sichang, said in "Orphan Calling Heaven" that his father died of illness.

After Li Zicheng of Henan shouted the slogan of "Juntian is exempt from endowment", his strength swelled sharply. Li Yan also made up a ballad, "Eat his mother, drink his mother, King Chuang will not pay for food when he comes." Don't underestimate this ballad, this thing is much more powerful than "evil and religion", especially at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, the appeal is directly off the charts.

On the twentieth day of the first month, Li Zicheng conquered Luoyang, killed Zhu Changxun, the son of Emperor Wanli, and got a few deer from the back garden, and cooked them with the meat of King Fu, called "Fulu Banquet", and shared them with the soldiers. He is called "Generalissimo of Fengtian Advocate Righteousness and Civil Martial Arts". Instead, besiege Kaifeng, not gram. Li Zicheng's incident of breaking Luoyang directly led to the complete bankruptcy of the Ming Dynasty's strategy of suppressing thieves. It has fully proved that simply suppressing or appeasing is an erroneous policy.

After hearing the news, Chen Xie immediately went to the Beijing Division: The minister heard that Luoyang was trapped by the thieves, King Fu was killed, and the thieves were unstoppable. In the shallow view of the ministers, simple suppression and simple caress are not advisable. Stealing thoughts, suppressing and appeasing are both good and good. The minister invited himself to lead the troops of Shandong to go out to encircle and suppress the thieves and appease the Li people.

Chen Xie's performance was folded to the Beijing Division, and Zhu Youzhen, who was losing face for King Fu's cooking, was overjoyed when he saw the fold, and finally waited for Chen Xie to take the initiative to ask for it. Immediately ordered: I am very relieved, I can do it boldly, and wherever I go, I can do it cheaply.

Chen Xie, who has been preparing, waited until the situation in Henan was out of control before he could intervene. When the war is in chaos, it is convenient to do anything. Knowing that Chen Xie was going to lead his troops on the expedition, the red lady found the governor's yamen and said in front of a civil and military officer: "Master, I want to go to war with you."
