Since the crown prince entered the city, Zhou Hou waited anxiously. She couldn't understand why some mothers could calmly face their son's work as an official outside for twenty or thirty years without going home to take a look. Anyway, as long as this promising eldest son doesn't appear in front of her for two or three months, she feels like she's lost her soul.

In contrast, the other two younger sons are not very favored, which is in line with the old folk saying: the eldest son is valued in heaven, and the people love their children.

Finally, Zhou Hou saw her husband and eldest son coming for a walk. Seeing the vigor with which they talked while walking, Zhou Hou felt like a cat tickling in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush forward. In the face of the Son of Heaven, she didn't have to go out of the palace to greet her, but in the face of her son, she couldn't wait to run up.

"Let Weiniang see what your hair has become." Zhou Hou didn't wait for Zhu Cihong to finish the salute, and had already pulled his son up. Quickly swept over the limbs of his body, found no disability, and went straight to Zhu Cihong's hair.

The ancients used torture as a humiliation, even if the family couldn't survive being a monk, it was not a glorious thing. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk, he didn't want people to say more after the incident.

Zhu Cihong didn't think there was any shame in the short hair, and after hearing what the queen mother said, he took off the black scarf and showed his mother the short ear hair.

Zhou Hou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw it, and his whole body was much more relaxed, and said, "It's not too ugly." ”

"Queen Mother, this length is actually quite good, and it can be grabbed in a bun." Zhu Cihong said: "Besides, you can't see anything from the outside after the crown scarf." ”

"If outsiders can't see it, you can deceive yourself?" Zhou Houfeng's eyes widened, and he wanted to put on a scary look, but he failed too much.

- I don't think it matters myself......

Zhu Cihong just thought about it in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it to contradict Zhou Hou. He casually pulled his hair together and quickly stuffed it into the black yarn folding wing scarf, and the movements were done in one go. It can be seen that this is how weekdays are spent.

When I saw it after a week, my heart was cold: My son is so negligent on weekdays...... Like those peddlers and pawns......

When Zhu Cihong saw his mother looking at him, he only smiled and said, "Look, you can't see anything from the outside." ”

"You can make such a whimsy! Someone is really crazy with you! There was already a hint of annoyance in Zhou Hou's voice.

Zhu Cihong laughed twice and did not make an excuse.

Chongzhen was quite understanding, and said: "You are afraid that the officers and soldiers will go to the north to kill the people who shave their heads." ”

"Father, Emperor Mingjian." Zhu Cihong casually sent a high hat to him: "But it's not good to talk about risking merit." The subordinates of the sons do not take credit by head. It's just that I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers will be red-eyed, and when they see the money rat tail, they will think that they are ugly, and it will inevitably make innocent people die in vain. ”

"And what if there are real captives in the mix?" Chongzhen asked again.

"There are still very few such fish that slip through the net." Zhu Cihong guessed that Chongzhen didn't understand what a "neighborhood neighborhood" was. A rootless Donglu is in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, as conspicuous as a bonfire at night. Not to mention the identification of the people around him, even the accent can't be hidden.

"But in this matter, Erchen thinks that he would rather escape a thousand than kill a single person." Zhu Cihong said: "Someone under the command of Erchen once said: Some people are loyal to the people, but no people are refugees. Erchen felt that these ten words were really very good. ”

Emperors and queens are all people who love the people. But for the people not to read the old virtues of the Zhu family, how much trouble is about shaving their hair and surrendering them. At this time, after listening to these ten words, I tasted them carefully, and the mustard in my heart suddenly disappeared.

Of course, there are loyal and righteous people in this world, but they should not be forced to do the same for all people. What's more, I stayed in the green mountains, I was not afraid of no firewood, there were people and soil, and I recovered Shenjing in the future and rescued these refugees. It's still a big tomorrow.

If everyone is dead, where is there still Huaxia?

You are loyal to the people. No one is a refugee.

These ten words quickly took root in Chongzhen's heart, and after Zhu Cihong left, he specially issued an edict to use this cross to appease the people in captivity. It is much better to choose between loyalty and flight than between Huayi. In fact, a person who would rather die than give in will not be a refugee because of these ten words; People who originally shaved their hair to survive. I will not change to a loyal citizen because of this. It's just that even if they shave their heads, the people will not feel that they have broken with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong followed the emperor into the palace and had dinner together. It is Huangshan Maofeng that clears his mouth after the meal, which is not bad, and it can be seen that the standard of living in the palace is slowly recovering. However, Zhou Hou was still weaving in the palace. The yield is not high, but it is enough for one's own use.

"Now there are not many people in the palace, and the expenses are much saved." Zhou Hou said: "Your imperial aunt gave me 1,000 taels of powder money last time to supplement the expenses of your wedding." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled helplessly: "If you have money, you can do it, but if you don't have money, you can't do it small." Will anyone laugh at my shabby family? In the future, this is still the beautiful talk of the royal father and the queen mother's thrift and holding the country. ”

That being said, but ......

"The ancestral regulations were placed there." Chongzhen sighed: "Now the people in the palace are all pulled to fight the honor guard, I'm afraid it's not enough. ”

"It's not a big problem, just find two courtiers and delete it." Zhu Cihong said: "But if I get married, do the kings want to follow the ceremony?" ”

Zhou Hou gently slapped Zhu Cihong's arm, and scolded with a smile: "People who are going to get married are still so shapeless." ”

- I'm serious!

Zhu Cihong had no choice but to smile: "When the people get married in their families, their relatives have to follow the ceremony." ”

"That's because the marriage of the people is a private matter. The wedding of the heavenly family, that is a state affair. How can anyone enter the state affairs with personal feelings? "Chongzhen has worked hard to study the scriptures, and accidentally revealed the taste of the old master.

"Father is right." Zhu Cihong changed the topic and said: "But I'm afraid I won't be able to get married in the past two years." Otherwise, the emperor's aunt's 1,000 taels of silver will be invested in the iron factory first, and they can also share dividends and eat interest. ”

After Zhou, he only thought that his son was joking, and he wanted to laugh and scold, only to hear Zhu Cihong continue: "If the imperial father and queen mother think that one thousand taels is less, then what about one hundred thousand taels? What about a million taels? What about ten million taels? ”

Chongzhen and Zhou Hou were stunned, not understanding that their son was doing moths again.

"The father, the emperor, and the queen mother, all say that the heavenly family has no private affairs, and the household department often asks for money from the inside." Zhu Cihong said: "In this case, why do you need to divide the treasury and internal funds? Why do I have to take the money from my wedding? It can be seen that the affairs of the heavenly family are also divided into public and private. ”

Chongzhen nodded.

Part of the internal treasury is divided from the national tax, but it cannot be said that the state supports the emperor's family. Because although this money was nominally for the emperor's private use, in fact, the expenses of the Beijing camp were also taken from the inside.

So it seems that there is a clear distinction between public and private, but in fact, there is no distinction between public and private. When encountering such powerful emperors as the Martial Temple, the World Temple, and the Temple, they used the silver from the treasury indiscriminately. The ministers also had nothing to say. When they met the emperors of Renmiao, Xuanmiao, and Xiaomiao, who were easy to talk to, the ministers desperately dug money from within. Did the regulations set by the ancestors make future generations play with such childishness? Zhu Cihong said.

Chongzhen frowned and pondered.

Therefore, Erchen felt that in the future, it would be better to completely separate the internal treasury from the treasury. The inner treasure does not point to the bit of gold and silver, and mainly starts from the imperial store and the imperial village. ”

"How much silver can you have?" Zhou Hou has suffered and does not mind asking such "vulgar" questions.

Zhu Cihong said: "The profit of sea trade should be one million taels a year. If you include other commercial goods. The annual income of the imperial store alone should be more than three million taels. ”

"So much!" Chongzhen was taken aback: This is more than one-third of the salary!

"But that will have to wait until the world settles down." Zhu Cihong said: "Now the war is in chaos, everything is based on war, and there is really no money and food. The emperor father and the queen mother, please rest assured, the sons and daughters still have a lot of experience in the way of goods and colonization. ”

When it comes to the way of goods breeding, Chongzhen is indeed full of blind trust in Zhu Cihong. In his opinion, he can start with 200,000 taels of silver, train an elite army, recover most of the country, and let the people live with food and clothing...... This method is simply Tao Zhu alive.

As for the blood that came with the accumulation of primitive capital. As an emperor, how can you know the Tao? Although some people accuse the crown prince of harsh punishment and raiding his house at every turn, as a father, how many people will believe that his son is the kind of bandit who robs his house?

"The imperial store also had income in previous years, and that was still in the time of the first emperor." Zhou Hou glanced at the emperor: "I heard that there is also an annual income of 200,000 or 300,000 taels." ”

At that time, the imperial store was taken care of by Wei Zhongxian, and the more money he received, the better his results looked, which was equivalent to dividends to the emperor. After Chongzhen ascended the throne. It's just a matter of liquidating the eunuchs, and even the lieutenants who refuse to be trusted. The town guards and tax supervisors outside were all withdrawn. This is the disgusting thing that the Zhejiang tea tax is twelve taels of silver.

Therefore, the lack of money in the royal family later has something to do with Chongzhen's desperate efforts to die when he was young.

Zhu Cihong laughed softly: "Queen Mother, that is the stolen money that Wei Zhongxian got from selling his official beard outside, not the silver he really earned. ”

Chongzhen nodded his head at the first time in agreement. But he did not speak, as if he disdained to see a woman.

Zhou Hou is bigger than the emperor, and her son is not blindly towards her, which shows that she teaches her son well, and is partial to reason. She said, "Since you have this art of breeding. You might as well take care of the imperial store together. ”

Zhu Cihong was a little surprised.

Could it be that he basically controls the imperial power, and his mother doesn't know what to do?

It was just an instant, and Zhu Cihong felt like a lightning bolt in his head, and the snow was bright and bright.

Zhou Hou seems to be an ordinary sentence, but the implicit content is very rich.

Join...... Together......

The point is not to talk about the imperial store, but the government, military politics, and civil affairs outside the imperial store!

Is this a hammer that I am overly managed, or is it forcing me to take a stand?

Zhu Cihong suddenly felt a little confused in his heart.

It is definitely not a good reputation to usurp the throne in the future generations, and I don't want to do it emotionally, and I don't actually need to do it. But if I want to return my authority, I can't. Not to mention that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not suffered a major loss of vitality now, even if it has restored its territory to the scale of the Apocalypse Dynasty, it has only delayed the time of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, he is very safe in the deep palace, and he can still come out to be the emperor in a few decades, but who knows what the situation was at that time? Will the civilian and military generals cultivated by themselves be purged? Will it be in the same boat? Will the people be more tired? Will the Tessie civilization be on the fast track to colonial plunder?

At that time, the daylilies were really cold!

"Okay, hehe, Erchen respectfully obeys Yi's order!" Zhu Cihong half-jokingly.

"That's not what your queen mother meant." Emperor Chongzhen suddenly said faintly, which made Zhu Cihong's smile completely condense on his face. (To be continued......)
