With money, the court can do a lot of things......"

Zhengde said leisurely: "I feel that this Beijing city is not very strong, and the change of the civil fort almost kicked the old nest, which shows the weakness of the capital's defense." Now the court is eating grain, running a deficit for many years, and his father is tired and dies on the throne, which is only slightly better. But God doesn't give face, and those who are plagued by disasters and disasters are always unlucky. I went back and forth, and the wall was not built. ”

Janine was silent.

At this moment, the city of Beijing is far from the Beijing city of later generations, and it is even very different from Beijing during the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Beijing was established on the basis of the Yuan capital. Later, Zhu Di became the Son of Heaven and continued to build on the basis of his own palace, using Beijing as the capital.

Later, Ming Yingzong made a second addition to the city of Beijing, which had a scale of 45 miles in circumference. However, Beijing has a special geographical location and is often invaded by the Mongol Warat, so some people of insight proposed to continue to build the city wall.

It's just that in this way, it is necessary to demolish many shops and houses, so public opinion resistance has always been great. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the project had to be stopped because of the huge project and the turbulent public sentiment. Later, at Yan Song's suggestion, the south side was built first, and a large area of prosperous urban area outside Zhengyang Gate was encompassed, so that the policy could be implemented.

However, the construction of the Forbidden City was stopped due to the fire of the Forbidden City in 1557, and the outer city was never rebuilt.

In fact, in the final analysis, these factors are not the key, and the most critical thing is only one word, "poor".

Given by the beneficiaries of the literati and doctors, the financial income of the Ming Dynasty was pitiful. Zhu Houzhao obviously saw this, so he said how much oil and water can be blown up in the soil? In fact, the subtext of this sentence is: I don't dare to blow it up if I want to.

The Ming Dynasty gave preferential treatment to scholars, not to mention lifting people, even Xiucai could be exempted from food and grain. If you are lifted, it is really a night to turn over and get out of poverty. Because the imperial court has more preferential treatment for the lifters, if someone in the township is lifted, there will immediately be a bunch of people who bring the land to sell themselves, which is called "dedication", in order to escape the official service and taxes.

But there is so much land, everyone is exempt from taxes, what does the state rely on? Coupled with the ridiculous commercial tax, after many years, the imperial court has already reached the point where it cannot make ends meet. Once something happens, a group of courtiers will look at the Son of Heaven to post money from the inner treasury.

The question is, if the Son of Heaven does not do anything, how can he benefit? He is also supported by the people, and the country has no income, so how much money can the inner treasury have? So Zhu Houzhao is also angry, if he does something, he has to look at the faces of the courtiers, otherwise the living expenses may be gone.

He knew the problem, and the courtiers also knew that everyone was pretending to be deaf and dumb, they were the beneficiaries of interests, how could they be stupid to mention this? Besides, isn't mentioning it against the people of the world? Zhang Juzheng did this, so he was whipped after his death.

With a slight turn in his mind, all kinds of information poured out of his memory, and Jian Ning couldn't help but think of the night he first came to Daming.

Dazed and frightened, in the end all feelings were occupied by hunger, hunger was like a nail nailed to all her senses, making her no longer able to give birth to other emotions, at that moment, Jian Ning felt as if she was dead, she didn't even have the strength to move her fingers, only numbness.

A nation that does not have enough to eat cannot produce strength and culture, just like a person, when all his senses are occupied by hunger, then all moral bottom lines will be lost.

This is the sorrow of being born at the bottom of this era, people are starving to death every day, it seems that the peaceful and prosperous world is really cruel, didn't Sanniang die because of this?

The strange and familiar emotions slightly touched the tip of her heart, her eyes were inexplicably a little moist, and she couldn't help murmuring: "Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer ......"

A sigh and a thunderclap sounded at the right time, muffling her murmur. In an instant, the thunder was intensive, and in the blink of an eye, the rain came.

The rain dripped down the eaves, and soon a curtain of rain took the summer heat away.

Jian Ning lowered her head, feeling a little hot in her heart for some reason. She originally wanted to prevent Liu Jin from plotting against herself, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that her Mingzhe self-preservation seemed a little stupid.

God knows that there are still many people in this world who die in despair like Sanniang, is she, as a traverser, really stingy with that little bit of wisdom? Will she never recover? She looked at Zhu Houzhao in front of her, and suddenly had a little expectation in her heart.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the struggle between the Son of Heaven and the courtiers, the monarch's power had fallen. But Jun is Jun, otherwise why would Liu Jin have to be scared? I can't kill Liu Jin, I have to keep him to block the knife for myself, so that I can do something.

I don't know how much power I have, but at least I should be able to figure out a little bit of money-making, right? Seeing Zhu Houzhao like this, he still has the people in his heart, but he can play too few cards.

Thinking of this, Jian Ning no longer hesitated, and said immediately: "When the first step is taken, Your Majesty will be able to plan the next step." ”

After a pause, he said: "Your Majesty has rewarded the people with so many things, and the people have something to give to Your Majesty." ”

After that, he said to Zhang's mother: "Zhang's mother, bring some of all kinds of soap, as well as hydrosol." ”

"Yes."

"Something for me?"

Zhu Houzhao's emotions were immediately transferred, to be honest, except for his parents' rewards, he really never received gifts from others. This is the first time that someone else has given a gift, and I suddenly feel very novel.

Soon Zhang's mother came up with a tray, Zhu Hou glanced at it, and her curiosity rose, "Wrapped in oiled paper and packed in porcelain bottles, is it for food?" ”

Jian Ning smiled and glanced at Li Niang. Li Niang understood, and soon brought hot water, Jian Ning opened a piece of soap, and a piece of fan object appeared in front of Zhengde's eyes. At the same time, he also smelled the scent of roses.

"What is this?"

Like a curious cat, he leaned forward, his eyes wide open.

Jian Ning dipped it in water and slapped it on his hand with soap, delicate foam gushed, and Zhengde's eyes widened.

"This, this is pig pancreas? No, that's not the case with pig pancreas. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the daughter of my family invented it, called soap, which can be used to wash face, bathe, shampoo......"

Zhang's mother looked proud, and took out a piece of earthy yellow soap and said: "This is soap, which can be used to clean clothes, Your Majesty, this is clean, and it is all made by the eldest girl herself." ”

Zhengde heard the novelty, hurriedly took the soap from Jian Ning's hand and couldn't wait to try it. This test revealed a difference. It stands to reason that he has used the best things in the world since he was a child, but he has never used such a good cleaning thing.

After using it, the hands are very moist, not dry at all, and the most important thing is that it feels very clean, much better than pig pancreas.

"This thing can actually be sold."

Jian Ning said: "If you ask the imperial doctor to mix some herbal soap, I think it will be more popular." ”

"Then why don't you sell it?"

The more Zhengde looked at it, the more strange it became, and he opened the other soaps in the tray, only to see that the various colors of soaps were dazzling. The honeysuckle soap is even more beautiful, you can directly see the dried flowers, if the queen mother sees it, it will also be heartbroken, don't say ordinary women.

"Where do the people dare to sell this thing?"

She pursed her lips and smiled, "So it's dedicated to Your Majesty." ”

"To me?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, "Even if I don't do business, I know that rare things are expensive." Not to mention this soap, just this earthy yellow soap, if the price is right, it will definitely be able to market my Daming, how much does this have to be? You just gave it to me? ”

As he spoke, his heart warmed.

Jian Yunshu really has nothing to say, if the man must be a great loyal minister, it will not be in vain that I care for her.

Accustomed to seeing those hypocritical faces in the court, at this moment Zhu Houzhao only felt that the woman in front of him was extremely noble, and they all said that they were born from the heart, probably because of their indifferent temperament, so they had such a temperament and appearance.

"How can I ask for you? This thing can be used as a family heirloom. ”

"The puppet is not guilty, but he is guilty."

Jian Ning smiled and said: "Dedicated to the king, and I also ask the king to protect the little girl for a safe life." ”

He grimaced as he spoke. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned. Accustomed to seeing this person's cold appearance, he suddenly did something playful, only to feel that his heart involuntarily missed a beat.

is different from usual, although it is still that appearance, but this smile and eyebrows are squeezed, but it is a little more delicate, which makes him feel a palpitation for no reason, as if something is about to emerge from his chest, and unconsciously said: "Without this, I will also protect you for the rest of my life." ”

As soon as the words came out, I felt that my face was hot, and I felt a little weird, and then I coughed lightly and said: "Well, you are a good one, I know your intentions, so I accept it, and when the transaction is completed, I will give you a share." No more, don't say I'm stingy, there's other use for me to keep this money. ”

Jian Ning was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Hah! You're really. ”

Zhu Houzhao felt as if he had touched something, maybe this was her real side, right? Then he thought of what happened to her, and couldn't help but say with pity: "Didn't I let people send a lot of supplements? Why don't I see you eat? You see you're skinny. Don't be in a hurry to write the book, don't be in a hurry, don't burn your body. ”

Zhang Yong, who was waiting on the side, only felt that his goosebumps were about to rise, this soft tone, how could he have seen His Majesty have such a tone of pity? Although their majesty is not easy to kill, he is by no means a good-natured person, and it is the first time he has seen his old man so gentle with a girl's family.

Jian Ning was happy that she could get a piece of the royal trade, but when she heard this, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. When she looked up and saw Zhu Houzhao looking at her with a warm face, she couldn't help but shiver, and then felt a little hot on her face.

Avoiding Zhu Houzhao's eyes, she said softly: "This hydrosol is also excellent for wiping your face, and Your Majesty can also let people sell it to those daughters, which is good for the skin." ”

"You've got so good skin, but you used this?"

Jian Ning's face flushed, and she bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, speak carefully." ”

Zhu Houzhao was interested, he didn't understand his mood, but he suddenly felt that Jian Ning was so funny, and he wanted to bully her.

I personally took a chopstick and shredded white meat and said to her: "I wrote you two poems, why don't you use poems to reply to me?" ”

It's okay if he doesn't say this, but as soon as he says it, Jian Ning gets angry, and unconsciously pouts, "Your Majesty asked knowingly, why did you come to play with the people's daughter?" ”

Seeing her pouting again, Zhu Houzhao was beaming with joy in his heart, and pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Yun Shu, why do you say this? Although I have borrowed ancient poems, I have also written them myself, do you like what I write? ”

Jian Ning's eyes widened, and when he saw Zhu Houzhao's eyes with a triumphant smile, he knew that he was deliberately playing tricks on himself, so he was bold and said: "The people's girls don't dare, the people's daughters can't write poems, so they don't know how to reply to His Majesty's poems." ”

Zhu Houzhao saw that although she was trying her best to restrain herself, she had already shown her true nature, and her heart was beautiful, sample, fight with me!

"Jian Yunshu, you are so bold!"

He suddenly slapped the table, everyone was startled, and Zhang Yong and the others knelt down directly subconsciously. And Zhang Ma and the others immediately knelt down after being stunned, and shouted in their mouths, "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

Jian Ning was also startled, but she didn't know why Zhu Houzhao suddenly turned her face, she stood up, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashing with a teaseful light, and she was immediately angry.

This bear kid really has the ability to be angry! She has calculated her temperament, and she actually has a little urge to hit him.

Seeing that she stood up but stood there straight, after a while, she said: "The people's daughter offended the king, and asked the king to make it clear." ”

"Do you dare to bully the king, do you want me to make it clear?!"

Xi'er collapsed directly on the ground, even people from small places know that bullying is a big crime! However...... What did Sanniang deceive the Son of Heaven?

Jian Ning knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "The people's daughter doesn't know when to bully the king, and I hope Your Majesty will make it clear." ”

The tone suddenly lost its temperature, and it brought the previous deference and detachment. The corners of Zhu Houzhao's eyes twitched, feeling as if he had overplayed, and hurriedly said, "Hmph! You are a hundred young students in Jinling, the books you wrote are popular all over the country, and the words of the Palace of Eternal Life are so beautiful that you dare to say that you can't compose poems?! Isn't this a bully?! ”

"The folk girl is indeed not good at writing poetry, and she did not deceive Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao could hear the resentment in her mouth, and said in her heart: "Little Nizi, it's really like the little leopard I raised, and her temperament is quite twisted!" ”

Thinking about it and not convinced, this guy is really cautious, and he just said that he is good at this time, maybe he is arranging me in his heart again.

"I don't care, I just want you to compose a poem."

He knocked on the wine cup, "I order you, make a poem now!" Otherwise, I'll have to learn from that Cao Pi! ”

Jian Ning looked up at Zhu Houzhao, and saw that this guy's face had sunk, and his heart chuckled.

It's really a companion like a tiger, Jian Ning, you are still too naïve! Isn't the most terrifying thing about bear children compared to adults that they are as sexual as June? If you say that you have to change your face, you have to change your face.

But after being frightened, the feeling of being oppressed by Liu Jin through the imperial power came up again, she looked at the Son of Heaven, and said word by word: "Your Majesty really wants the people's daughter to compose poems now?" Otherwise, will you kill the people's daughter? ”

Zhang Ma and the others were paralyzed on the ground, they were already small people, but they followed Jian Ning to see a little bit of the world. But now in the face of the anger of the most powerful person in the world, there is no order, and he only repeats mechanically in his mouth, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins......"
