10-68 Crown Prince

Zhang Fulin was a langzhong in the household department, and he had witnessed many colleagues who were bold and reckless in embezzlement and bribery being locked away by the fan of Nanchang with iron chains, and he was deeply touched by this, so he acted extremely carefully, and the money given by unreliable people was never accepted, and even on several occasions he threw the bribe-giver's silver ticket on the other party's face and ordered the official to beat people out with water and fire sticks, and never allowed to step into the securities supervision yamen again.

When the news spread, the officialdom in the capital was shaken, and after the storm of clean government, everyone no longer dared to blatantly accept bribes, but as the saying goes, it is good to stretch out your hand and not hit the smiling face, let alone the person who gave the silver.

More desperate things are still to come, recently, Zhang Tisi's house is like a city, all by the time of the New Year, to pull the relationship and run away, because Zhang is too busy with official business, all day long not home, so Mrs. took a lot of gifts without authorization, all kinds of New Year's goods piled up half of the yard, but after Zhang Fulin went home, it stands to reason that it is normal to receive some chicken and dog bits and pieces during the New Year's holidays, and it is not a big deal, even the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't take care of it, but Zhang Fulin is more real than this, forcing Mrs. to return the gifts one by one.

The gift-givers are all businessmen who came to Beijing to do business, so they left their things and left, where to return? Mrs. was so worried, Zhang Fulin didn't do anything, called two donkey carts, pulled all the gifts to the household department to confiscate, and viciously reprimanded his wife at the door of the house: "Slut, bad for my life!" "If it weren't for the persuasion of the neighbors, Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid that he would have taken a letter of resignation on the spot, and this money-greedy lady would have been divorced.

This matter spread more widely, even the emperor heard about Zhang Fulin's incorruptible reputation, the Sacred Heart Dayue Royal Pen handwritten the words "honest and honest" to him, for a time the capital officialdom was shaken, and the reputation of the household department was even more magnificent, everyone knew that Huang Shilang cultivated a big Qing official, this fat and oily securities supervisor yamen in the hands of Zhang Fulin is really a blessing for the court.

Nowadays, the income of the Ming Dynasty mainly comes from several aspects, one is the tax of various local governments, which is the bulk of the imperial court's finances, and then it is a few money-making yamen directly under the imperial court, such as Shanghai, Quanzhou, Guangzhou's city shipping department, that is, the customs, and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, etc., are all good places to make money every day, and the tax revenue has increased substantially in recent years, and the tax revenue has increased substantially, even so, the imperial court is still stretched thin with money, after all, the two-front war is too costly, and the food has been spent for a few months, and it has cost 10 million taels of silver, and no matter how rich it is, it can't stand this flower.

The establishment of the securities regulatory yamen solved this problem for the imperial court, and there were not many stocks listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the par value was also very large, and it was necessary to go to Shanghai to trade locally, which limited the income of stamp duty, and so on, Zhang Fulin took over the power of the exchange to review and list, and then 6 continued to think of several ways to increase the income of the imperial court.

First of all, the face value of the stock was reformed, and the strategy of low price was implemented, and the maximum price of a share of the stock was only one or two pieces of silver, and the minimum price was not limited. The advantage of this is that more people can participate in stock trading, because the original unit price of stocks was too expensive for ordinary people to buy, and now even beggars begging for food can buy a few shares. In this way, the financing channels have been greatly expanded, and the listed companies have earned a lot of money, and the stamp duty of the imperial court has also been collected contentedly.

Another measure is to carry out the work in Beijing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Hankou, Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places with an economy to open branches of the stock exchange, this measure is mainly for the previous reform to serve the threshold for buying stocks, you can not let people go to Shanghai in order to buy hundreds of copper coins of stocks, the establishment of branches in various places is convenient, but also for the imperial court to open up a financial road, that is, trading commissions, but the consequence of this is to directly affect the commission income of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, so that Hu Yimin and Peng Jingrong are full of unhappiness, but Zhang Fulin has the support of the household department and the cabinet, and is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who gave the plaque, so for the time being, he can't help him。

During this time, the attention of the whole and upper and lower levels of the Zhenwuhou Mansion was paying attention to Zhao Wen's childbirth, and there were more than a dozen imperial doctors from the Song Kingdom alone, as well as more than a dozen experienced stable women invited by Liu Ziguang, waiting all the time, and even Dr. Jack Jones, who had been teaching surgery on the front line in Shanxi, was recruited back in case of emergency.

In order to create a warm environment for Zhao Wen and her servants from the tropics, even the outdoor corridors in the house are covered with radiators, and heating pipes are also laid under the corridors, and the snowflakes that are fluttering down can't be stored at all, but no one is in the mood to appreciate it, everyone is gathered around the gate of the cross-courtyard where Zhao Wen lives, waiting for the birth of the prince of the Song Kingdom.

At the same time, the Song Kingdom, which was thousands of miles away, was also the whole country, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor Taishang would be able to give birth to Lin'er to take over the throne, and all the radio relay towers from Nanjing to Xinbianjing would be unimpeded for 12 hours, and there would be people on duty for 12 hours without interruption, in order to report the good news in time.

Liu Ziguang walked back and forth at the door, although it was not the first time he had been a father, but he couldn't help but be a little nervous, the medical technology in this year is not high, giving birth to a child is a very dangerous thing, whether it is a maternal or infant mortality rate, even the royal dragon son and grandson are no exception, fortunately, Zhao Wen's physical fitness is very good, the preparation measures in the house are also very complete, there should be no accidents.

The exclusive text version of this work may not be reproduced without permission, and excerpts for more of the latest and fastest chapters can be found here.! Zhao Wen's due date is the end of November, but now it is the middle of December, in the morning, he said that he had a stomachache, and he pushed forward the strictly disinfected delivery room to give birth, but in the afternoon there was no movement, looking at the yard and the people were walking in a hurry, Liu Ziguang was a little anxious, just wanted to shout for them to stop, and suddenly Zhao Wen's shouting came from inside, it was the kind of hysterical screaming that was extremely painful, Liu Ziguang pushed open the door and wanted to rush in, but was stopped by several stable women, and said that this is normal, Hou Ye, don't worry.

Liu Ziguang retreated stupidly, looked back at the few Yingying Yingying Yanyan Peng Jingwei in tight jackets behind him, Liu Xiaomei, Li Xiangjun and others were all frightened by Zhao Wen's screams, and shrunk together, probably saying stupid things like never having children in the future.

Zhao Wen's screams continued for a quarter of an hour before stopping, and then there was an earth-shattering baby crying, the voice was unusually loud, and several stable women happily rushed out to report the good news to Liu Ziguang: "Congratulations to Hou Ye, congratulations, Hou Ye is happy to have a daughter, a full eight catties and six taels." ”

Liu Ziguang was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Reward!" Then an arrow stepped into the yard, Peng Jingwei and others also rushed in, and were driven back by Liu Ziguang at the door of the delivery room, because the delivery room was not well ventilated due to the need for heat preservation, and so many people poured in at once, which must affect breathing.

In the delivery room, Zhao Wen was lying on the bed, her face was white and red, with a kind of maternal brilliance, and there was a small swaddling baby next to her pillow, inside was a red fluttering baby, with a black head, two eyes closed, and a wide open mouth, crying.

Liu Ziguang was overjoyed, this voice howled louder than the ten-month-old Liu Qianguang, it really deserves to be my Liu Ziguang...... Daughter.

When he heard that it was his daughter just now, Liu Ziguang was a little worried, because this child had already set a fate before he was born, and he was destined to be the next generation of monarchs in the Song Kingdom, and there were already two empresses in the Song Kingdom, and the old men and the royal family in the Privy Council were looking forward to the birth of a crown prince, but it was a daughter, and those old guys must have been very disappointed when they heard the news.

However, Liu Ziguang is not a patriarchal person, whether it is male or female, they are their own flesh and blood, if the people of the Song Dynasty are dissatisfied with the birth of this daughter, then let them go to hell, Lao Tzu was reluctant to let his own flesh and blood be sent to a foreign country to raise him at a young age.

Liu Ziguang picked up his daughter and laughed and said to the people outside the house: "There is a reward of one hundred taels of silver per person plus three days of vacation." ”

The kneeling subordinates outside kowtowed together, thanking each other and rejoicing, but the expressions of the female officials and imperial doctors who came to the Song Dynasty were a little unnatural, Liu Ziguang just didn't see it, turned around and sat next to Zhao Wen, holding her hand, and the two looked at the newborn baby happily together.

The news of Zhao Wen's birth of her daughter was quickly transmitted to the Song Dynasty through the airwaves, and a day later, the official telegram of the Song Dynasty reached His Majesty the Emperor, giving the child the name Zhao Jiao, canonizing him as Emperor Ming Cheng, and officially becoming the crown prince of the Song Dynasty.

This news made Liu Ziguang very surprised, and couldn't help but think of what Zhao Jing once said to him, this world is so big, the Han people are bound to become a family, and this kind of thinking is reflected in the title of daughter, Ming represents her, she was born in the Ming Kingdom, Cheng said that the Song and Ming dynasties were unified, anyway, in the future, the world plans to give it to Liu Ziguang, why care about a small Song throne.

The dream of unification of the world is too far away, Liu Ziguang is not interested in thinking that he can do this step now, it is not easy for him to be eloquent, he is not reliable, it is a coincidence and a god-given miracle history, naturally has its own trajectory, how to go, now he just wants to enjoy the joy of family, how to say that he is also a person with both children and daughters.
