Chapter 707: Harem Trivia One

Chapter 707: Harem Trivia One

Zhu Houhuang is accustomed to the fast-paced life of later generations, he is not a bad woman, and he doesn't like to enjoy, but he thinks that all the enjoyment of Daming can be compared to later generations.

Of course, women are the envy of single dogs in later generations. But Zhu Houhuang felt that he would rather be able to play with his mobile phone freely for a day.

So Zhu Houhuang couldn't calm down, as if he was calming down. The whole person feels empty and boring, and it is better to deal with government affairs and lead troops to fight.

But he can do this, but his people cannot.

It can't be said that the people of the Ming Dynasty are not industrious, but their diligence is the kind of work that works at sunrise and rests at sunset. Dili and I, Ho Ka Yan. Instead of Zhu Houhuang's expedition of thousands of miles, opening up wasteland, and taking all military law as the criterion, handling everything.

was persuaded by the two, Zhu Houhuang really felt that it seemed that he had gone too far.

Of course, whether it is too many servants, Zhu Houhuang does not know. He felt that he could not listen to the policies of these officials, and perhaps they wanted to be idle.

Zhu Houhuang returned to his dormitory at night, but when he saw Xu Lan's face full of joy, he took off his coat for Zhu Houhuang and said, "Your Highness, why did you come back so early today?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Did you come back early? ”

Xu Lan said: "Your Highness usually comes back when the night is dark, or you simply sleep in the front yard, but there are very few concubines, and you can see Your Highness at this time." ”

Zhu Houhuang looked at the sun outside, it seemed to be around four or five o'clock.

Zhu Houhuang spends half of his time in the army every day, and he usually spends his time in the house. All the documents processed by the Changshi Mansion will be filed in the Yongwang Mansion.

Zhu Houhuang will look at all the documents of the Changshi Mansion, and if he doesn't understand, he will ask Wang Yangming for questions. In fact, although the Changshi Mansion was used by Zhu Houhuang as the Prime Minister's Mansion, intentionally or unintentionally, Zhu Houhuang encroached on a large number of the power of the Changshi Mansion. Zhu Houhuang is the master of entrepreneurship, and his authority is far above that of ordinary monarchs. He wants to encroach, and no one can stop him at all, and no one dares to stop him.

The Changshi Mansion has already changed its actions intentionally or unintentionally, and if it is sent to the Yongwang Mansion for filing first, only after Zhu Houhuang has seen it, there is no objection, no inquiry, and he will go down to do it here.

Zhu Houhuang was vaguely aware of it, but he didn't think much about it.

Although the Shaofu supported most of Dongyong's finances, Zhu Houhuang knew that only the Changshi Mansion was the core of Dongyong's rule.

Moreover, in the past two years, Shaofu's grain tax has also gradually improved. The two prefectures of Yongnan and Beigang, plus the county of Penghu, add up to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

It is more than the finance and taxes handed over to Beijing by a province in Daming.

Of course, it is not that Dongyong's prosperity is better than that of the Ming Dynasty, but that Dongyong can be said to have no acre of land that does not pay taxes. The government directly controls everyone, plus the Penghu tariffs, so that's the case.

However, since the ban on the sea, Penghu's tariffs have declined rapidly, and it is far from the time when it is completely victorious.

This is only a matter of the Changshi Mansion, Dongyong Qianzhuang, and Shaofu There are also a lot of things, but Zhu Houhuang is not so meticulous in the management of the Shaofu. Zhu Houhuang has only one request for Shaofu, asking for money, asking for money, asking for money, and always saying it three times.

Zhu Houhuang will conquer at every turn, and there must be a large amount of financial support. Although Shaofu has the convenience of monopoly operation, and Shaofu's industries are all over Dongyong, occupying the lifeblood of Dongyong, salt, iron, shipbuilding, coal and other industries, as well as Dongyong banknotes. and so on, in order to maintain Dongyong's finances from collapse.

Compared with these two departments, Zhu Houhuang attaches more importance to the army, whether it is the sailor or the Yongjun, almost everything is too small, and even Zhu Houhuang will appear in the barracks and military schools once he has time.

Because Zhu Houhuang has a deep sense of crisis.

Under Jiajing's watchful eye, Zhu Houhuang couldn't feel real safety even in Dongyong. The biggest capital of all Zhu Houhuang is not Dongyong, but tens of thousands of elite teachers who obey Zhu Houhuang's orders.

With this army of soldiers and horses, even if Zhu Houhuang loses Dongyong, he can make a comeback in other places, so his attention to the army is really irreparable.

In this way, he has to face a problem, that is, Zhu Houhuang spends a lot of time on these affairs, and he doesn't have time to pay more attention to the affairs of the harem, except for sleeping, he rarely returns to the palace at all.

Zhu Houhuang thinks back now, and seems to have forgotten how old Ping An is. He suddenly asked, "Is it safe?" ”

Xu Lan said: "Where is the peace in my mother, does Your Highness want someone to hug me?" ”

"No need," Zhu Houhuang said, "Take advantage of some time to go and see the queen mother alone, and take a look at peace by the way." ”

Xu Lan said: "The concubine will go with His Royal Highness." ”

Xu Lan hurriedly changed her clothes and went to the backyard with Zhu Houhuang.

Yongwang's Mansion is not big, originally the big man built it was not big, and although it was expanded repeatedly, some people said that they wanted to rebuild Yongwang's Mansion, but Zhu Houhuang denied it.

After all, Dongyong's finances have never been rich.

Zhu Houhuang can spend as much money as he makes. Moreover, Dongyong is not a big member of the capital, and he doesn't want to spend more time here.

Walking through several courtyards, Zhu Houhuang came to the dormitory of Empress Dowager Wu.

Before I could go inside, I heard a child shouting, "Rack, rack---"

Zhu Houhuang went in to take a look, but saw a teenage little palace maid working as a horse in the local area, and Xiao Ping'an was cheering incessantly, grabbing the whip of the palace maid with his little hand, and couldn't help shouting: "Rack ---."

When Zhu Houhuang saw this scene, his face turned black. suddenly thought of a picture in the history book when I was a child, which seemed to say that Xia Wei was like this, and he used people as animals.

Zhu Houhuang said sharply: "Ping'an, what are you doing?" ”

Zhu Houhuang's sharp reprimand made Xiao Ping'an turn his head, looked at Zhu Houhuang, his face was stunned, and he began to cry instantly.

"What's wrong?" Empress Dowager Wu, who was chatting while watching Xiao Ping'an play, heard Xiao Ping'an's cry, and immediately walked over, looked at Zhu Houhuang's nose and eyes and said: "You haven't seen anyone all day, and as soon as you come back, you will reprimand the child, is it interesting?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Queen Mother." ”

"Good." Empress Dowager Wu didn't listen to what Zhu Houhuang said at all, she hugged Xiao Ping'an in her arms, and comforted: "Don't be afraid of him. ”

Zhu Houhuang frowned, and there was nothing he could do about Empress Dowager Wu.

He was raised by the Empress Dowager Wu since he was a child, but his mother-son love for the Empress Dowager Wu was sincere. I didn't dare to disobey the meaning of the Empress Dowager Wu, and said: "Queen Mother, Ping An is the son of King Yong, and my inheritance in the future will be passed on to Ping An, how can Ping An be like this?" ”

"How old is Ping An? It's not too late to talk about it when it's older. Empress Dowager Wu didn't care.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Ping An is five years old, which is not small. ”

Although Zhu Houhuang is very unaccustomed to the Manchu Dynasty, especially now as a descendant of the Ming royal family, he is even more unaccustomed to it, but it is one thing to be unaccustomed to it, and there are some beneficial things that must also be absorbed, such as the Manchu prince's education system.

Very strict.

Although Zhu Houhuang also wants to make it easier for the child, he can't.

Because his son is not only a child, but also his own political heir. Zhu Houhuang wants to continue his political ideas. You must educate your children well, otherwise you will raise a loser like Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, and he will not be able to live in peace when he dies.

Zhu Houhuang thought about this, and secretly said in his heart: "I must personally teach Ping An to read." ”

He didn't dare to let those great Confucians come to teach, maybe he would be crooked.

Zhu Houhuang said: "If Ping An wants to be a rich idler in the future, he can do whatever he wants, and if he is alone, he will abolish his position as the son of the world." But since he is the son of King Yong, he must have a benevolent heart. ”

"Come here safely," Zhu Houhuang said, "Kneel." ”

Ping'an was very afraid of Zhu Houhuang, and when Empress Dowager Wu heard Zhu Houhuang's words, she even said the words of the abolished prince, and she didn't dare to stop it.

Xiao Ping'an obediently came over and knelt down.

Zhu Houhuang said to the guards next to him, go and bring the bricks.

The courtyard of Empress Dowager Wu is all paved with tiles, and there are several bricks piled up in the corners, as if they are left.

Zhu Houhuang asked Xiao Ping'an to kneel down and crawl, and put several bricks on his back. ()
